  • 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.
