COMMODORE’S REPORT

With this being my final column as the Commodore of When I first joined SYC I held no aspirations to be eithera Southport Yacht Club I could be expected by many to be member of the Board or the Commodore, so, to be invited saying ‘farewell’, but I won’t be doing that per se, as I am into both positions over the past four years has been a great not actually going anywhere: I will still be very much part honour. I will certainly be taking away new friendships and of the Club. I’m just stepping down as Commodore after my experiences which would have not otherwise come my way. scheduled two years of service. I am moving on, firm in the belief that this wonderful Club holds a wealth of untapped potential – potential that can take it to being one of the most significant organisations of its type in this country, while still retaining its highly valued heritage and traditions. The future is all about Southport Yacht Club’s greatest asset – its membership, young and old(er). That is where our on-going success is to be found. Having a healthy ‘bottom line’ in the accounts is one thing, but seeing a far healthier bottom line come about as a consequence of having a membership that is even more supportive of the Club and its activities should be the ultimate goal. How can this be achieved? By moving with the times and seeking tomorrow’s untapped opportunities while, at the same time, respecting the past; and – through the application of pride and professionalism – infusing the membership with every reason to be an active part of our great Club. On a personal note I would like to express my gratitude to the Board who voluntarily give up their time to ensure that the Club stays on a positive course. I must also recognise our Past Commodore and CEO, Neale Hollier, for doing a stirling job in bringing new stability to the Club; and our House Manager Dale Chapman, who has held his course through some torrid times and achieved the results; plus our wonderful Associates Committee, committee members, Club volunteers and staff – all essential and highly valued members of the Southport Yacht Club crew. Thank you all. As I step down I salute the Club and the incoming Commodore, and thank you, the membership, for your support. In closing I can only say I’m sad to leave but happy to go. I am proud to have been your Commodore. Rob Mundle

Sean Langman put on a show for all with his ORMA 60, ‘Team Australia’ during the series. He brought this incredibly fast racing multihull to XXXX Sail Paradise to enjoy the racing and prepare the yacht and crew for his successful assault on the multihull race record in the Brisbane to Gladstone yacht race, which was staged at Easter. At the end of the event the consensus was that Southport Yacht Club’s XXXX Sail Paradise has again confirmed itself to be on the cusp of becoming a major offshore and inshore series in Queensland in the years to come. While the competition was close in the IRC class between SailGOLD COASTParadise .

By Rex Scott All you seasoned Sailors have probably done this race, or maybe even the Sydney to Hobart and possibly more than once. I on the other hand, did'nt start sailing untill I was 49yrs of age, and when the opportunity came this year I grabbed it with both hands regardless of the fact that I am 61. I found myself the oldest crew member on the oldest boat, the " Wistari " launched in 1965 built of ply over h/wood stringers & frame and styled on the old light weight sharpie, successfully completed her 43rd Brisbane - Gladstone ocean passage race. She first won this race in 1977 and went on to win it 3 more times in 1976, 77 and 1982 2012 we were in 7th place behind Saltash 11 ( she has won this race 8 times ) right up to the entrance to Gladstone Harbour, except we experienced reduced pressure across the paddock ( Gladstone speak for the stretch between Breaksea Spit light north of Sandy Cape and Bustard Hds ) and subsequently we arrived at the bottom of Facing Isl just in time for the flood to peak and the wind to drop out. What should have been a 1 1/2 hr sprint to the finish line, turned into a 4 1/2 hr slog in 4 - 8 knts of exhausted southely with 2 1/2 - 3 knts of ebb tide going the other way. Were going nowhere so I guess you do all you can do ! For us that meant Main, 3/4 oz Spinaker poled 10 deg of square and as high up as the barber haul would allow, a Blade Staysail, and a Blooper made by "Hood" that I reckon was as old as the boat. OH and a large bottle of Rum ! We resulted 18th on corrected time. Would I recommend it to anyone else ? Damn right I would ! A moonlit night at sea, and the only thing between you and the horizon are the shades of blue/black in a constant unrelenting march to their unknown destination, as ocean swell embraces you, holds you, and releases you only for the next to do the same. The glistening pearls of reflected light, fading only to be replaced by dolphins playing at your feet with first light, dashing silently across your bow as though their race was designed to purposely put yours into perspective. Cheers Rex Scott.

8 │ iN SYnC │ Southport Yacht Club PONTOON DINNER

This year’s Pontoon Dinner was attended by over 80 of our Pontoon Club members, who all enjoyed our special guest speaker, SYC Commodore Rob Mundle, speaking on “Broadwater, Books and Boats”. The evening was the first time that ladies have enjoyed the event. Cynthia Edwards attended her first ever pontoon dinner despite being a Pontoon Club member for sometime. Rhonda Stokes was delighted to be inducted into the Pontoon Club and attend her inaugural dinner! Another notable occurrence on the night was Past Commodore Phon Blondell celebrating his 50th year as a member of SYC. A wonderful night was had by all and we would like to thank SYC staff & management for helping make this another memorable evening.

FRIDAY BUOYS DONATION

From the Board, Management, Staff and mostly the Kids at Hollywell we express our extreme thanks!

POWERBOAT UPDATE Articles By Ian Hall SYC has a very proud tradition of conducting Predicted Log or Navigation Events. The first SYC event was held in 1959, and has grown into an annual series of nine events. Included in the series are two sub series- the Dux Series and the Broadwater Series. We also compete against RQYS in the annual Goodwill Cup.

These events are a test of navigation and boat control. ‘Sirocco’ Ron Bailey with PC Tony Goldner Skippers nominate a speed the boat will operate at over a measured course.

The Commodore’s Trophy was held over the weekend of May 5th & 6th, in superb conditions.

They did so well in the Goodwill Cup last year and followed up with a magnificent win in the second day Open Event.

The following day we headed back down the Passage to another The Easter Cruise this year commenced the week before Easter anchorage at Poverty Point.

We should have After cruising with the main group for the first three days seven a bookmaker amongst the cruisers as the odds weren’t very boats that had elected to go to Mooloolaba left Bribie Passage favourable at that point in time. All the on-line weather sites were bright and early at 6.30am on Tuesday so as to beat the weather predicting increasing winds over the next few days. The decision forecast for later in the day (3mtr seas and 20 to30 kt S/E winds). was then made to proceed north the next morning, but not to the The first participants of the E.C.G.

22 │ iN SYnC │ Southport Yacht Club Thursday morning an early start 6 am again to beat the later expected southerly blow. On leaving Mooloolaba the E.C.G. cruisers split (to re-join the main fleet later) five boats to try their luck at or near Tangalooma, too exposed, so continued on to Deanbilla Bay to be joined by main fleet on Friday, the two others, Cavillino back to Bribie Passage and Samper Fi onto Scarborough and a further five weeks cruising . With the good ship Cavallino anchored at around 9am the intrepid crew were taking in a late breakfast when the radio sparked into life, could it be? Yes, there was the The Bribie Passage explorers at Mission Point flag ship of the fleet “Cats Away” under the command of Admiral Bob and Lady Joan leading the fleet back to safe anchorage and civilization after a harrowing two days exploring the notorious Pumicestone Passage. So elated with their success were the crews that they followed in the age old custom of crews returning from a great adventure, went ashore for a night of reveling and good cheer at none other than Eskimo Nells or was that Flaming Nells no matter. A great night was had by all and at last report no locals found themselves bound in the bilges of any of the fleet destined to swab the decks to some far off port. As the sun was barely up the flag ship “Cats Away” with the Admiral and the lovely Lady Joan were off home for another engagement. Meanwhile, someone the night before whilst under the influence of the fruit of the grape decided that the remaining fleet should have another early start, up anchoring at 6.30am for the trip across Moreton Bay to Deanbilla Bay to join with the other five boats of the fleet. This leg was led by Bob and Cheryl Moxham on their lovely Grand Banks “Grand “Lady Susanne” after passing under Bribie Bridge Finale’”. We were greeted by a reasonable amount of swell and wind on leaving Bribie until reaching the mark off Deception Bay and could lay a course to cross the Brisbane shipping channel passing between St Helena and Mud Islands then around Peel and into our anchorage for the day. As the cruise had long departed from the planned anchorages it was decided to move to Blaksleys for Saturday evening and have end of cruise drinks on the beach at 1600 hrs. as a number were heading home on Sunday, others to Dux for a few days. The camaraderie of SYC cruises was very evident on this cruise; when a toilet failed to operate on a twin hull boat, rather than kitty litter being provided, a porta potti miraculously appeared from the caverns of a particular Grand Banks where there is not one but two or three of everything you may need. Another boat, on which you might still find an original oil lamp, could hardly be missed at night; it was lit up like a gin palace when a generator was loaned. Overall a great cruise and if you missed out this time be certain to have your name on the list for the June Cruise.

Happy Cruising “Tranquility” leading the power boats up the Broadwater

Three days of racing played out where one of which the ‘16’ crew could not compete due to hull damage. By the end, Tom and I finished in 1st place after taking out every race with Sophie and Georgia finishing second and the ’16 foot skiff’ crew sailed impressively for the final 2 days or the regatta.

The 2012 running of “The Great Race” was one for the record books with organisers worried about the conditions being too strong to safely conduct the race right up to the early hours of race day. Upon arriving at the Club at 6am the winds were 25-30 knots with heavy rain and visibility down to 100 metres at best. Clinging to hopes that the forecast was correct we held out. Sure enough, as the race start time was closing in, the rain cleared and the winds dropped allowing the race to go ahead.

For Lahey and her crew, who came together for this regatta, the win was a good one. “I’ve had some good results at regattas hosted by the Cruising Yacht Club of Australia. This time last year, I was part of the winning crew in the 2011 Harken Women’s International Match Racing regatta and it feels great to be back on top of the podium again,” she said. Lahey also competed in the Club Marine NSW Youth Match Racing championships in August last year, also hosted by the CYCA, where she placed fourth. “My crew are experienced match racers and we progressively got better as a team throughout the regatta. “One of our toughest matches today was against Stephanie Strong. The pre start was close and we managed to win that battle, but Strong was better on the downwind leg than us yet we came away with the win in the end,” Lahey added. Sophie Lahey and her crew of Rayshele Martin, Ali Sutherland Sophie finished round robin two with a perfect scorecard of six and Georgia Cronin representing Southport Yacht Club, have won wins. the Marinassess Women’s Match Racing regatta by three points from Kirstin Norris representing Royal Australian Navy (RAN) with The Marinassess Women’s Match Racing regatta was conducted Stephanie Strong representing Sandringham Yacht Club in third by the Cruising Yacht Club of Australia on the Youth Sailing place a further point adrift.

VICE-COMMODORE SAIL REPORT By Matt Percy

I can’t believe it’s been six months since the Sydney to Hobart Race. As you may know we had a D1 rigging fault just off Eden and were forced to pull out. The crew and boat were all in good shape just a little disappointed. So what would drag us back into another long race? The answer is the RQYS Brisbane to Noumea yacht race 830nm from start to finish if we sail straight or the weather permits a straight passage, it won’t. So the mast has been in and out and back in all checked and ready to go, the boat’s been out of the water and been re anti fouled and fared and is looking very fast. I think 6 months ago I was complaining about the amount of paperwork and checks required to sail in a Cat 1 offshore race, well as hard as it is, it’s worse when the race ends overseas and you need passports, visas and TWO Temporary Passes - an Australian Government form from the AMSA ( Australian Maritime Safety Authority) which is under sub section 23(1) of the ship registration Act 1981 and enables us to sail out of Australian waters to a foreign port and the second visa is so we can return. They’re not cheap. It was easy sailing to Hobart. There is the coast of Australia for 70% of the trip and then even more back to Southport. On this adventure, once we leave Moreton Island we are on our own until Noumea, and the same for the trip home. Five of the Hobart crew had put their hand up to take up the challenge again and thanks to them and the five new crew that aren’t new to the boat just this race. The start is Sunday afternoon at 1300 from RQ on the 3rd June and the race can take between 100 to 150 hours all going well. The boat has a Facebook page and there will be a yacht tracker from the race control. For more info RQ has an active web site design to show how good or bad we are doing.

CAT WEEK By Kerry Noyes

Incorporating the F18 State Championships and South East Queensland Nacra Championships Gold Coast Cat week continues to grow in numbers, this year a total of 31 Catamarans with a number of different classes. Racing was held in varying conditions over the week suiting all levels of sailors. Competitors came from all over Australia with entrants from as far North as Cairns and South as Sydney. Many of the F18 entrants were testing the water for the F18 Infusion World Titles to be held February 2013. The weekend saw excellent winds with some very close and consistent racing. Tuesday 21st saw conditions from one end of the scale to the other, racing commenced in light winds with a storm cloud brewing to the west, after the first windward the storm hit the fleet resulting in some very interesting moments plenty of capsizing and 1 broken F18 Mast. Conditions returned to typical February on Wednesday after a late night repairing Masts and centreboards. Extremely close racing with results in the F18’s coming down to 1 race on the last day. F18 Crew “Ulman Sails” Dale Mitchel and Jamie Leightner (Cairns) winning by 1 point over 2nd placed “Nacra NQ” Mick Guinea and Vince Hilton (Townsville) and third by 1 point “Sneaky To” Warren Guinea and local sailor Adam Lahey. Results for Division 1 also very close with “Wayfast” Steve Curtis and Kerry Noyes 1st, “Bliksem” John Dowling 2nd and “Allante” Guy O’Bren and Mike Sabin 3rd. Craig Kneebone took out division 2 with Darryl Skinner in his Arrow Cat Air Power 2 was once again victorious in division 3. An excellent week of racing and socialising once again with all competitors pledging to return next year.

We had a splendid Day At The Bay in April. Despite the rain which in fact gave a rather surreal cloudy bay effect, the views were spectacular. Many remarked on the beautifully renovated homes along the way. Our first stop was at the historic Full Moon Hotel in Sandgate. If you are up Sandgate way a visit to the Hotel is a must. We had a superb morning tea and wandered down the road to the village. As always on our trips some managed to find a treasure or two in the shops and boutiques. We then headed across the Hornibrook Highway Bridge to Redcliff and on to Woody Point to the famous Belvedere Hotel.
