Commodore's Comment SPRAYTALK Mar 10 Spraytalk March 2010 Newsletter of the Perth Dinghy Sailing Club COMMODORE’S COMMENT We are well into the second half of the season and there are now only a handful of weekends left until the end of the season. Just think of all those winter chores that are waiting to be started… It was a busy Christmas period at the Club with the Javelins hosting their Australian Championships. I would like to thank all the volunteers who took time out to come down and help run the regatta, particularly with both Brad and myself being away. I understand the volunteers in the galley, safety boat and start crews and organising committee did a fantastic job to ensure the regatta was a great success. Congratulations to all the touring members and families who competed in their respective National and/or World Championships over Christmas. From the reports I’ve received everyone had a great time, although not always doing as well on the water as hoped. Thank you to members who contributed a plate for Life Members’ Day afternoon tea. Unfortunately there were not as many life members present this year as normal, but the competitors didn’t seem to mind too much, with lots of food on offer when they came in from sailing. Thanks to the ladies for the tremendous afternoon tea. We also had a catered meal on Life Members’ Day which was very successful and I would like to thank all who stayed to enjoy the night. Unfortunately we did not have any members from the 2/4th Machine Gunners come down for the annual Anketell Memorial Trophy (held in conjunction with Life Members Day) as many of them are unable to attend, but I would like to thank them for the kind donation we receive every year. Many of our classes and members sailed at Koombana Bay Sailing Club over the Labour Day long weekend. It was great to see the International 14 back again this year and enough wind to get us around the course. Everyone I spoke to enjoyed Page 1 of 12 PDSC WEBSITE - www.perthsailing.org.au SPRAYTALK Mar 10 themselves and I would encourage you all to sail on the river recently taking out the attend next year to enjoy this brief getaway.

S ve ľkou pozornos ťou sa po celú Olympiádu 2005 až 2008 ostro sledovali v celom sve- tovom športe prípravy na Olympijské Hry v Beijingu. My jachtári sme boli zvedaví najmä na Qingdao, ktoré malo by ť miestom, kde sa mala uskuto čni ť jachtárska čas ť a hlavne na to aké podmienky na pretekárov čakajú. O jachtárskom revíre pred týmto 5 miliónovým prístavným mestom, chodili zlé správy od pretekárov, ktorí tam chodili pravidelne na skusy a na tréningy. Okrem toho Číňania usporadúvali každý rok v termíne olympijskej regaty, predolympijské medzinárodné preteky s tým istým formátom a zabezpečením aké mali by ť na OH. Dostávali sme teda správy o slabých vetroch, alebo opa čne o tajfúne, o silných a nevyspytate ľných prú- doch, o zne čistení vody, ako aj o zarastaní zálivu v ktorom majú by ť trate pre preteky zele- ným porastom álg.

  • Sehr Geehrter Herr Schweer
    Newsletter Januar 2008 • Der große Traum wird wahr! Liebe Freunde, in Australien ging für uns ein großer Traum in Erfüllung: Wir haben uns für die Olympischen Spiele quali- fiziert! Vor genau acht Jahren haben wir mit dem 49er Segeln begonnen. Etwa ein Jahr später setzen wir uns das Ziel "Peking 2008". Seitdem haben wir unser Leben darauf eingestellt und fast täglich dafür gearbeitet. Die Konkurrenz ist groß. Viele andere Teams hatten das gleiche Ziel, darunter drei A-Kader Mannschaften des DSVs. Im Segelsport quali- fiziert sich pro Bootsklasse jeweils nur eine Mann- schaft zu den Olympischen Spielen in Peking 2008. Seit gestern stehen wir nun als Sieger der Qualifikation fest. Darauf sind wir richtig stolz! richtig stolz! Bei der 49er-Weltmeisterschaft 2008, die vorgestern in Sorrento (Australien) zu Ende ging, haben wir mit dem sechsten Gesamtplatz die Olympianorm zum dritten Mal erfüllt und die Olympiaqualifikation vor dem Team Baur/Baumann (dreifacher Europameister) gewonnen. Ein langer und spannender Wettkampf um das Olympiaticket ist damit be- endet, in dem sich die Teams gegenseitig auf ein hohes internationales Niveau gepusht haben. sponsored by Die ersten Rennen der Regatta verliefen sehr gut, sodass wir nach den 9 Vorläufen auf dem 4. Platz lagen. Im Finale rutschten wir auf den 7. Platz zurück, konnten aber durch einen 2. Platz im abschließenden Medal-Race die Regatta auf dem erfreulichen 6. Platz beenden. Die Ergebnisse der 49er-WM 2008: 1. Nathan Outteridge/Ben Austin (AUS) 60 Punkte 2. Stevie Morrison/Ben Rhodes (GBR) 64 Punkte 3. Rodion Luka/George Leonchuk (UKR) 79 Punkte supported by 6. Jan-Peter und Hannes Peckolt 89 Punkte 22.
