    Knysna Yacht Club 2015/ 2016 CALENDAR OF EVENTS www.knysnayachtclub.com facebook.com/knysnayachtclub COMMODORE’S MESSAGE The Knysna Yacht Club is one of the biggest, and dare I say, one of the nicest yacht clubs in the country and it is indeed an honour and a privilege to have been elected as its Commodore for the year. Building a club like this does not happen overnight. It takes years of dedication from both Committee and general members. The previous Committee, under Jim Parke’s wing, did enormous amounts of work at the club. I would like to see that we can take it even further. We have had great success over this past year amongst our sailors. We had various participants who were successful in their age groups and we are very proud of what they have achieved. I would like to thank each and every one of them as they proudly continue to represent Knysna Yacht Club. Andrew Finn has done a magnificent job with the sailing and I would, on behalf of everyone at the club, like to thank him for all the hours and the dedication he has put in. It is wonderful to see all the water sports come together at the club - from sailors all the way through to SUP boarders. We have very successful boat and canoe builders in town and prominent sailors as members at the Knysna Yacht Club. It is a place where all these families get together and enjoy themselves. The Canoe section has grown immensely and it is lovely to see all the canoeists and their families on the water on a Tuesday afternoon.

  • The Fnb Dusi Canoe Marathon 2017 Final Instructions
    THE FNB DUSI CANOE MARATHON 2017 FINAL INSTRUCTIONS Thank you for entering THE FNB DUSI CANOE MARATHON 2017. These final instructions are intended to give a brief over view of the latest regulations for the running of the race and new information not on the race website. Please be sure that you have read the rules on the race website, www.dusi.co.za carefully. MARKING OF RAPIDS AND DANGER POINTS Paddlers are urged that river safety is the primary responsibility of the paddlers themselves. The policy of the Dusi Committee is NOT to mark any rapids. Paddlers are encouraged to paddle according to their known skill levels and to shoot rapids according to their level of ability. All of the known dangerous rapids have recognized portages around them. The take outs for known portages at the identified danger points only will be marked with different colored banners. Yellow will mark an obstacle where the portage is optional, but advisable if the paddler is uncertain; and Red for compulsory portages. INSTRUCTIONS FROM MARSHALLS Please note that rescue and safety marshalls at rapids are not there to instruct the paddlers on which line to take and will only give instructions on safety issues and must be obeyed without question. PENALTIES FOR SECONDING INFRINGEMENTS It is the organizing committee’s intention to continue with the practice of holding the paddlers responsible for the actions of their seconds. Apart from serious offences, the practice of relegating the paddlers associated with offending seconds to the last batch on Day’s 2 and 3 for minor offences on Days 1 and 2 will continue.
