Q. 4178 2 Monthly Events Sat 28 Jan City to Surf Thurs 2 Feb General Meeting Commodore’s Comment By Bruce Wieland The close of the 2016 year was celebrated in spectacular fashion with the Christmas Party and Trophy Presentation. Social Secretary Lyn again produced a very special themed party night. Attendance at this function is growing year by year, and the imaginative costumes reflect the friendly spirit within the club. Congratulations to the trophy winners, particularly to Club Champion Chris Wren and the crew of frequentflyer. The competition was very close with runner up Hasta La Vista only 8 points adrift. The experiment of breaking the year into four series of races has received positive feedback and will continue, with some fine tuning, in 2017. Planning is underway for the B2G Race, and some exciting new features are to be announced soon. Stay tuned!! Cruising events on Moreton Bay this year seemed to be affected by weather, with several cancelled, but with the exception of the November cruise to beautiful Lucinda Bay. Those big multis which sailed north for the regattas enjoyed great sailing conditions in the north, but experienced a mixed bag of conditions for the passages. Renaissance and PurrFik did manage leisurely cruises north. There will be no organized Christmas Cruise this year as all effort is going towards a Gladstone Cruise, similar to the 50th Anniversary Cruise, built around the race during Easter 2017. Details will be published soon! The Management Committee is substantially unchanged following the AGM in November. We do welcome back the very timid Peter Hackett to the team. Peter has taken over the role as OMR Data Officer. Zebb Peters has stood down from that role having served for several years. I pay tribute to Zebb and on behalf of members, thank him for serving MYCQ in multiple roles. Also standing down from Management Committee is Life Member Jim Stubbings. Jim has an extraordinary passion for MYCQ, always displaying infectious enthusiasm. Thank you Jim and well done! Lyn and I are humbled to be jointly awarded the Gold Rush Trophy for outstanding service to the club. This award is voted by the Life Members of the club for recognition of service. MYCQ has no paid staff, it is a club of volunteers. As always there are many people who contribute to our success. I do wish to make special mention of Lyn. Lyn does not have a history of sailing, and in fact can’t swim, but she does have a long history of support for causes. (me included) Her organizational ability is superb, as shown by the success of events like the “Old Salts Luncheon”, the “Casino Night”, three Christmas Parties and B2G Presentations, and the B2G start 2016 in conjunction with the Bluewater Festival. Thank you to the members for the recognition awarded to Lyn Wieland. 3 From the Editor Welcome to the final edition of the Multinews for 2016. It has been a difficult year for me working in Sydney and not able to attend any meetings nor attend many of the club events. Even though I will still be in Sydney during most of 2017 I will be hoping that I can attend a few more events and get out on the boat a bit more. This Edition is full of Events that will be of interest to members including the Nationals, the Kings Cup, Extreme Sailing in Sydney and some international News. Also included are the AGM minutes and a slightly revised list of Office Holders. Unfortunately I don’t have a Calendar for 2017 yet but hopefully this will be included in the next edition. The next edition will be sent out just before the February Meeting so until then have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

  • Und Ewig Lockt Der Rekord 03 Der Idec Sport Sind Es Nur Sechs Personen
    Beaufort _Idec Sport hat, gehört ihm die Jules Verne Trophy. Die Chancen dazu stehen gut. Mitte Januar hatte die Idec Sport circa vier Tage Vorsprung gegenüber Peyrons Re- kordfahrt vor fünf Jahren. Seit 20 Jahren ist die Jules Verne Trophy in französischen Händen, Joyon würde diese Tradition also fortsetzen. An der Kampagne von Idec Sport ist mit Bernard Stamm jedoch auch ein Schweizer beteiligt. Der unverwüstliche Romand war bereits 2005 mit an Bord, als Bruno Peyron (der Bruder von Loïck) die Jules Verne Trophy gewann. Und mit Idec Sport kämpfte er schon letzten Winter _01 um die Jules Verne Trophy, damals blieb das Team aber um zwei Tage über dem Rekord. Dieses Mal sollte es nun unbedingt klappen, doch der erste Startversuch im November musste nach sechs Ta- gen abgebrochen werden, da der virtuelle Rückstand bereits zu gross war. Dass die Idec Sport beim zweiten Anlauf derart gut unterwegs ist, führt Stamm auch auf den Faktor Glück zurück: «Wir haben perfekte Wetter- und Windbedingungen, was das Wichtigste ist. Hinzu kommt eine tolle und motivierte Crew.» Nichts- destotrotz ist eine Weltumsegelung natürlich nie- mals ein gemütlicher Ausflug. Auch die Idec-Crew _02 hatte schwierige Momente zu überstehen, erzählt Stamm: «Nachdem wir den Indischen Ozean pas- siert hatten, mussten wir das Tempo reduzieren, um keine Schäden am Schiff zu riskieren. Das hat uns ein bisschen Zeit gekostet.» Eine Crew wie ein Taschenmesser Auch unter normalen Bedingungen, sofern es solche überhaupt gibt, sei das Segeln eine stetige Heraus- forderung. Es brauche ständige Konzentration und präzises Arbeiten sei unumgänglich, sagt Stamm. Als er die Jules Verne Trophy 2005 mit Bruno Peyron ersegelte, war er Teil einer 14-köpfigen Crew.
