July 2020 a Blast from the Past July 2020 A blast from the past: Rainbow in the Basin July 2012 Photo courtesy of Joye Swisher Commodore’s Corner Submitted by Cathy Talisman, 2020 BCYC Commodore Hello Everyone, 2020 Flag Officers The next board meeting will be held on Monday July 6th, 2020. At that Commodore time, the board will revisit whether to resume sponsored club activities. Cathy Talisman The club is open for members to use, including racing and cruising. Vice Commodore Roger Gilmore Physical distancing is the best prevention wherever you are. Remain vigilant. Rear Commodore If you see unfamiliar faces, kindly approach them and inquire if they are Jenn Buckley members and introduce yourself. If they are not, you can show them Secretary around, remind them this is a private club and suggest that they check Lisa Glaser our great website if they would like to join. Treasurer As a reminder, keep all the doors close when you leave the club or are Lezlee Kramer on a boat in the marina. Assistant Treasurer "Hope is the last thing ever lost." —Italian proverb Marty Southard Stay healthy. Fleet Captain Pages 8 -18 contain wording and rationale for proposed bylaw changes. Bylaws serve as James Masson an overall framework for the organization and Board to follow, but does not provide for the day-to-day operational aspects of the organization. They state how the organiza- Board of Directors tion is to be governed and how the powers of the organization are to be exercised. The members vote on the Bylaws. Board Members 2019-2020 Policies lay out the ‘what’ and ‘why’ of the framework to carry out the work of the orga- Beth Berkobein nization. Policies form the written basis of operation secondary to legislation and the Doug Fuller organization's bylaws. The Board creates and votes on the adoption of the Policies. Ruth Peterson Procedures lay out the ‘how’ of getting things done by providing the organization step-by- step instructions on how to run the programs, services, and events for the organization. Patty Tishuk Sometimes procedures are extremely specific, sometimes they are more general - it depends Board Members 2020-2021 upon the situation.

  • Meetings Cancelled Until Further Notice
    August 2020 MULTIHULL YACHT CLUB QUEENSLAND: PO BOX 178, WYNNUM. Q. 4178 ORMA 60, Winner of the at Airlie Beach Race Week. Photo from ABRW Facebook Page Meetings Cancelled until Further Notice 2 Monthly Events (Sept) 6 Sept Westerly Trophy 19th-20th Sept Bribie Cup & Coolaroo Trophy 19th-20th Sept Cruise to the Brisbane River 27th Sept SAGS Commodore’s Comment By Bruce Wieland Dear multihull sailors, I do hope that you have remained healthy during the lockdown no matter where in the world you are. I empathize with anyone who has caught the Covid-19 virus and wish you a full recovery. It has been a difficult time for many, both socially and financially. Lyn and I have been fortunate to make it through the lockdown (so far) without any adverse effects despite closing our business for two months. As for MYCQ, it was a difficult decision at the time to cancel the 2020 Brisbane to Gladstone Race, but in hindsight we would never have been allowed to run the race. One positive is that there are several new big multihulls on the scene in Australia, so the 2021 B2G may just be spectacular! Other than the B2G, the lockdown has had little effect on our program as we deliberately kept our calendar sparce during the winter. RQYS cancelled the Brisbane to Hamilton Island Race, but the Brisbane to Keppel Race did happen, although there were no multihulls entered. While Airlie Beach Race week has been run and won, Hammo and Magnetic Island Race weeks were also cancelled. Congratulations to Dale Mitchell and crew who won on OMR with the ORMA 60 (great to see it going well!), and Elizabeth Williams who won the Passage Series on Tyee 111.

  • The Farrier F-36 Triamaran
    The Farrier F-36 triamaran ‘Unconditional Love’ is now offered for sale at $160,000 (US) o.n.o. ‘Unconditional Love’ is an F36 triamaran that is now for sale due to the untimely death of its owner Dr Mike Marshall in an aircraft accident in late 2004. Let me review for you ‘Unconditional Love’s’ highly desirable features. You probably already know that the F36 is one of the biggest triamarans from the stable of Ian Farrier, arguably the most successful multihull designer of our time. The opportunity to own this fast, exciting, high performance, ocean going, cruising multihull in sail-away condition doesn’t come around often, (in fact I could only find two F36s offered for sale in the last two years.) so please review this presentation and come see ‘Unconditional Love’ for yourself. In the interests of full disclosure I only know of one other, much newer, F36 that is currently for sale in Aussie-land for a substantial premium over our asking price for ‘Unconditional Love’. Mike’s widow, Carol, seriously wants to sell and get on with her life and we want to see that she gets a fair price for a fabulous, fast, super sailing fantasy. Let me paraphrase for you Ian Farrier’s website description of his F36 design as it specifically applies to ‘Unconditional Love’ to introduce her to you . Ian Farrier on the F36 . The F36 trimaran's superior handling and performance makes it the knowledgeable sailor's cruiser of choice. Other advantages include a drier ride, with no immersed windward bow to throw back spray, no problems with wingdeck pounding, nor is a high windage boxy cabin required for standing headroom.

    WEST COAST BOATBUILDERS PT. 2 - T I-zast month we reported that West Coast boatbuilders have evolved from the plastic-boat production capital of the world to more niche-driven, custom manufactur- ing. Drarnatically fewer boats are being made compared to the heyday, but design- ers and builders are creating interesting, specialized vessels, and are as busy as theyVe ever been. West Coast Boatbuilders are making eve4ztlring from bluewaterboats to r{tra-fast racers to simple, fi.rn daysailers. What's Old is New in ttre Pac l\ltrr I-ocated in Port Tovrnsend, Was$ng[.on, Cape George Marine Works has been build- ing stylish bluewater boats since the l97os. "Our vessels are built to go offshore," said owner Todd Uecker, describing the niche his yard fllls. "Most clients have dreams of sailing to forejep lands. We build full-keel cutters, and they aren't made for racing around buoys." Cape George makes two lines of traditional offshore vessels: the 28- ft Bristol Channel Cutter, which used to be built in Costa Mesa, CA" and was inspired by famous cruisers and writers Lynn and Larry Pardey, and the namesake Cape George Cutter. "Our main stock-in-trade is the Cape George Cutter," Uecker said. "lf s a modern, fibergiass-hull interpretation of William Atkin's vintage desigps from the 193Os and .r' 4Os lwhich was re-drawn with the help of famed naval architect Ed Monkl."

DRAUGHT Most people know that multihulls draw less than most monohulls, but what does this mean in real terms? A multihull’s shallower draught enables you to anchor closer in to shore in more sheltered places, which can make for a safer and more peaceful night. In strong winds, I love to motor in past the monohulls, find a nice spot in the lee of an island, drop anchor and then sit back and relax as I watch the monohull people anchored further out bouncing up and down. I know it’s mean, but I just cannot help it.
