There is no doubt we have had a fantastic season and the future is looking bigger and brighter than it has for many years. For the first time since the 2003 annual report I don‘t need to preface my report lamenting the fact that we have come through another drought-affected season! Not only did we start with a full lake, but we finished with one as well. It seemed to be a case of ―just add water‖ as we surged forward as a club. I would also suggest that we were well placed to take advantage of improved water levels. The combination of a careful approach to operate within our means during the recent lean years and still maintain the facilities and enthusiasm also contributed to a successful resurgence. A strategic planning session was held in August and a number of key goals were identified. Nearly all of these were either achieved or acted on during the season. Despite showing their age, our facilities are still very good; our location is still the best place on Lake Hume; the water is fresh and clean (most of the time); the foreshore is well protected and safe AND we offer a terrific program of sailing and social events to enhance your sailing skills and/or enjoyment of a relaxing time by the water. When it comes to reviewing the activities for this season, the list of highlights is extensive. It is very gratifying to be able to reflect on so many good things that have happened during the course of the last season. Noteworthy events and activities included: A significant increase in new members who started making a positive and valuable contribution to the running of the club from the day they arrived! Juniors, juniors and more juniors! What a delight it has been to see so many youngsters at the club. Special thanks to this year‘s junior rep Aaron Pimm. He was a regular participant and assistant at all the club activities this year and a regular newsletter contributor. Well done. Successful calendar of events and activities on and off the water. Some notable achievements on the competition front that VC Terry will have in his report. The establishment of the pizza oven and revamped BBQ area. Brilliant effort by Mark Harris to get this project off the ground. It has been and will continue to be a significant and distinctive feature of the AWYC social scene. Thanks also to Darren Kiel for his generous contributions of materials for this project. The Tackers mobile boatshed program. It‘s difficult not to get carried away with the praise for this program. It was sensational and another catalyst for giving our membership a real kick along this year. We were fortunate to have two programs during the season. The schools-week saw over 200 kids put through a half day course and the full program had about seventeen complete a week-long program in the school holidays. An AWYC Basic Sailing Program was conducted on ten successive Saturday mornings. This provided introductory training for over twenty people both younger and older. It was initiated by YA accredited trainer Noel Ryan and very well supported and carried through by many other club members. Special thanks to Rob Minato and Peter Kalin. Establishment of a fleet of junior Lasers that will provide some healthy competition for the younger club members. Sailability coming of age in a spectacular fashion. Up to 50 participants per session; Continued support from CARN and Rob Newman and the very successful hosting of the Valvoline Vic Access Dinghy Championships. 4 Annual Report 2010-2011 Community support and assistance for the Sailability program has been a big highlight. In particular our thanks to: Commercial Club Albury for the new RIB Albury Rotary Club Foundation (pontoon replacement contribution) Valvoline (Sponsorship of Access Dinghy Titles) Dean Quinlivan (Border Mower Supplies) The Naval Cadets continued to expand their program and held a successful inter-unit regatta at the club. We look forward to seeing more of them during the 2011-12 season. The Lady-helm and novice racing program was commenced and is showing signs of gaining momentum. Congratulations again to John Landon for continuing with the Wednesday evening social and sail program. This excellent initiative gathered momentum this year with up to 70 people enjoying a mid-week hit out at the club. Open Day attracted a great crowd and resulted in new members signing up on the day. We also had a visit from a float-plane. Participation in the Camp Quality program. Apparently a big hit with all participants. Lease arrangements with GMW are all but finalised and we will have an acceptable 10-year lease in place. We continued to maintain our presence at a YV level with attendance at the YV Club Conference and Commodores‘ Forum. We also hosted a visit from the CEO of YV, Ross Kilborn. Numerous ‗Club‘ Boats have been resurrected and put back into action. Servicing of the Access and Extreme dinghies also took place. What a year it has been for publicity! Excellent efforts by our PR guru Wes and some great support from local journo and photographer Trevor Jackson, was much appreciated. One edition of the BM even featured sailing on the front and back pages!! The pine plantation next door has been given a clean up thus reducing fire hazards and is now less of an eye- sore. The galley again catered beautifully for all our culinary needs. Big thanks to the Pimm family for a huge effort in this important part of the club. Administratively, we have undertaken the necessary repair and maintenance activities to keep the club comfortable and attractive. This has been done based on the philosophy that we should be aiming to retain sufficient cash reserves to cater for significant capital improvements or emergencies. We did however take the plunge and utilise some of these reserves to re-tile the clubhouse ceiling which was badly in need of a spruce up. A small surplus was generated this year thanks to the improved membership situation. More about that in the Treasurer‘s report. I would like to also acknowledge the contribution by Yachting Victoria to our drought situation. They have given us considerable flexibility in regard to fees that would normally have to be paid. Well-attended and productive working-bee sessions. An enjoyable and best attended Annual Dinner and presentation night held at the Commercial Club. (Thanks to John and Alison Pimm ) The ‗new‘ Committee has preparations well underway for the next sailing season and you will be presented with drafts of next season‘s calendar and budget. The Calendar will be published in the July Newsletter after ratification by this AGM. Next Season’s Focus: Membership recruitment and retention. Need volunteers!! If you‘d like to be more involved please talk to us. Committee members really would appreciate hearing from people who are able to give a little of their time to the running of the club. Even if you 5 Annual Report 2010-2011 aren‘t sure what needs to be done please let us know that you are prepared to be asked. Our new lease will have a number of new initiatives and requirements that will require input from members. Details of these will be prepared and advertised in the newsletter. Increase the emphasis on training and coaching (especially for beginners). Complete the Business Plan Undertake further improvements to the Clubhouse facilities Prepare a plan for a possible new club house.

  • Mid–Year Newsletter June 2014
    Mid–Year Newsletter June 2014 ‘Jezebel’ Antoni Perri’s home built traditional Whitehall design clinker winner of the Inverloch and District Lions Club Perpetual Trophy South Gippsland Yacht Club Commodore With the success of the first of the Classic Wooden Dingy Regattas behind us it is now the time to look to the future of this event. The Regatta has given great exposure to SGYC both in the local community and with sailors near and far but the momentum needs to be kept going. Much of the success of the event was the result of the enthusiastic contributions of the Inverloch and District Lions Club, Inverloch Rotary Club, Inverloch Historical Society, Inverloch and Melbourne business partners, Bass Coast Shire Council, members of South Gippsland and other yacht clubs and wooden dinghy enthusiasts. The Classic Wooden Dinghy Committee, a sub-committee of SGYC, is now looking for ways to attract more boats and a wider public audience for the 2015 Classic Wooden Dingy Regatta. I would encourage any interested club members to involve themselves in the planning by joining the Regatta committee. The future of the SGYC is very important for both myself and club members and an event such as this regatta engages with the community and exposes sailing to the wider public which inturn will attract new members and in particular juniors who are the club’s future. The Regatta’s purpose is to exhibit, on and off the water, examples of wooden dinghies once sailed around Victorian beaches but now quite rare. These classic wooden dinghies would be from the beginning of the 20 century to about 1970.

  • International Sailing Canoe World Championship on San Francisco Bay
    For Immediate Release International Sailing Canoe World Championship on San Francisco Bay Point Richmond, CA, August 26, 2014 -- Sailors from Australia, Canada, Germany, Great Britain, Sweden, and the USA are gathering at Richmond Yacht Club in preparation for the International 10 Square Meter Sailing Canoe (IC) World Championship, which begins September 6. The words “sailing canoe” may conjure up images of an outdated craft, and the IC class still competes for the New York Challenge Cup, established in 1885 and the second oldest international sailing trophy in the world after the America’s Cup. However, like the America’s Cup boats, the International Canoe has been transformed into a high tech version of its 19 th century counterpart. Key features of the IC today are its efficient rig, long, slim hull and a curved sliding seat that allows its single-handing skipper to glide fore and aft as well as several feet out to windward from the hull while, as one enthusiast put it, “sailing upwind like a stiletto through butter” -- an exhilarating challenge to the best of sailors. Check out this regatta promo video. A one-design class from 1971 to 2008, the International Canoe officially became a developmental class in 2009, operating under a simple set of rules that define the hull’s allowable length (4900-5200mm) and minimum beam and the boat’s overall minimum weight excluding sails. The total allowable sail area is 10 square meters. The developmental feature of this class makes the upcoming competition particularly exciting since, in addition to the plethora of seasoned competitors, there is no way to accurately predict which new design will prove fastest or function best on San Francisco Bay.
