Medical Emergencies: There are no trained first aid officers at the club should an emergency arise it is the Victor Harbor Yacht Club’s policy to phone for an ambulance, so it is recommended that skippers have appropriate cover. How to get there: Refer to the “mud map” on Attachment A. The easiest way is go past Murray Bridge and turn left at Callington which will take you to Strathalbyn, then on to Goolwa and finally to Victor Harbor. Alternate route is turn left at Tailem Bend and go via Wellington to Strathalbyn, however there is a Ferry at Wellington and sometimes, especially holiday time, there can be quite a wait.

Guest zeta Posted November 19, 2004 Report Share Posted November 19, 2004 This year's National Titles at Victor Harbor over the x-mas /new year break is sure to be a blast. Nominations close on Dec. 5th, if you own a Paper Tiger, why not come along and join the fun. There's bound to be a fleet of around 50 boats, with skippers of all age and skill levels. Victor Harbor is also a great place to bring your family for a holiday, so even if you aren't into the racing, come and say Hi! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
