sandringham yacht club flag

In 1931 a devastating fire to PPYC resulted in the amalgamation of PPYC and SYC in 1932. Another fire in 1955 totally destroyed the original SYC Clubhouse with the Club losing all of its records and memorabilia together with most of its documented history.

With rapid rebuilding, helped by volunteer labour a new club was built for the 1956 Olympic Sailing “Finn” Class and was honoured with a visit from his Royal Highness, Prince Philip, himself a keen sailor, who later became SYC’s Commodore in Chief on the 25th January 1980 and recently visited the Club in 2000. The old Clubhouse (current car park site) was built in 1963 and the funds were raised through a debenture scheme

SYC has been focused on providing its members and guests with the best facilities and services on any yacht club on Port Phillip Bay. In the early 1990’s SYC put in place the current 340 berth floating marina we enjoy today. In 2002 SYC redeveloped the waterfront facilities including the:

Boat yard environment and pollution control system
Marina Fuel System
40 tonne travel lift
Boating Maintenance Precinct
Concessions/Brokers Building
Ken King Centre
Capital cost of $3.5 million

In late 2007 SYC commenced construction of FMP2 – our new clubhouse and car park facility with a capital cost of 12.75 million. Construction concluded at the end of June 2009. Members and guests are currently enjoying the state of the art facility.

The Club burgee has been flown for 106 years which is the longest continual use of any burgee on Port Phillip Bay.

Following is the story of the SYC burgees

Port Phillip Yacht Club began at Sandringham in 1903, and adopted the burgee that we fly today – a red diagonal on a white background.

Sandringham Yacht Club had its beginnings in 1911, and in 1912, adopted an emerald green burgee with a golden yellow cross. The club flew this until it adopted a new burgee in 1925 – a navy blue background with a red cross overlaid with a white five point start.

In 1931, fire destroyed the Clubhouse of PRYC and the two clubs decided to amalgamate the following year, retaining the Sandringham name and the Port Phillip burgee. This burgee has a proud history, having been flown consistently since 1903, and is one of the oldest on Port Phillip Bay.

During our centenary celebrations we have discovered that the red white and blue burgee, flown from 1925 – 1932, was identical in colour and design to the burgee of the New York Yacht Club. Their burgee has been in use since 1844 and the design was published in the Lloyd’s Register in the late 1800’s. The design is rightfully theirs, but because of its historical significance to our club, especially in our centenary year, NYYC have graciously given permission for its use as part of our centenary logo.

Our current burgee with its bright red diagonal has become synonymous with good sailing and strong competition. It is known and respected in Port Phillip Bay, throughout Australia, and around the world, and should be shown on members’ vessels with pride, on every possible occasion.

COMMODORE’S REPORT

The last issue of Off the Wind closely

followed our moving into the new clubhouse

in July, 2009. It now seems a distant

memory as so much has happened around

the Club in the intervening ten months.

Off the Wind forms a vital part of the written history of this

club, so I want to open this column by congratulating the

management and staff on their achievement of a most

successful ‘launch phase’ of the new building. I can’t

imagine that we could have asked for much more; the

offer in the Members’ Bar is first-class, the Harbour View

Restaurant has received critical acclaim and a very high rate

of patronage from members and the wider community and

the function business has got off to a most promising start

in both forward bookings and the quality of the product

provided. Were it not for a strong management team, under

the leadership of our CEO, Richard Hewett, the result might

have been far less satisfactory.

But the most pleasing part has been the degree to which

the members have embraced the new facilities. The

patronage in the Members’ Bar and in the Harbour View

Restaurant has been wonderful and it gives all those

of us who were involved in the planning and delivery of

the building an enormous amount of satisfaction to see

members enjoying the new surroundings.

Turning to our on-water activities: in December, we again

hosted the first leg of the ISAF World Cup. Of course, this

was the first with the new facilities and the response from

overseas and interstate visitors was extremely positive, not

only in relation to the new building, but also in regard to the

quality of the event, both on-water and off-water. Many

members contribute long hours as volunteers to make this a

successful event and our thanks to you all.

Over the Christmas/New Year period, our sailors enjoyed

considerable success in ocean races and national

championships. At the risk of singling out one boat, I must

mention the second overall placing of Wicked (Mike and

Mark Welsh) in the Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race. In early

February, I had the pleasure of hosting ‘Welcome Home

Drinks’ in the Members’ Bar to recognise those who

achieved a podium finish over the holiday period. It was a

great celebration and it was good to see the range of ages

represented, from the crews in the International Cadets

through to some of our veteran sailors.

More important than race results is offering members

activities in which they want to participate on a week by

week basis. Our keelboat fleets remain strong, our Off The

Beach division is strong and growing and participation in

Recreational Boating events, from the fishing competition to

cruises in company, are attracting good numbers.

Over the last few months, your committee has been working

on a strategic plan for the Club, focussing on what we need to

achieve over the next five to ten years to keep Sandringham

Yacht Club at the forefront of the sport in Victoria. We look

forward to sharing this with members as it evolves and

in particular, ensuring that members of the various subcommittees

understand the direction of the Club and have

‘buy in’ to the process. As a part of the planning process,

we have developed a comprehensive governance guide,

incorporating terms of reference for the various committees.

By far, the most pressing strategic matter is the redevelopment

of the Off The Beach area. To say the least, this area is an

eyesore but, more importantly, is not in keeping with the

image of SYC, especially when you consider that, for most

newcomers, this area is their first contact with the Club. At the

moment, we are in the process of applying for a government

grant under the Industry Skills Centre programme to assist

with the development of this precinct. We are making this

application in conjunction with William Angliss Institute with a

view to providing training classroom facilities for hospitality and

water recreation students during the week and at the same

time, provide first class training facilities for our Off The Beach

division and our Boating Academy on weekends and during

the holiday periods. If we are successful with the application,

we will have the immediate challenge of funding the $750,000

club contribution. If we are not successful, we have a clear

vision and fully developed plans and we will have to work out a

way to fund the entire project. This is something that we have

to do. We didn’t get to where we are today by shrinking from

challenges over the past ten years or so and this is just another

challenge!

Nothing is more important to the long-term success of

the Club than attracting new entrants into the sport, both

kids and adults. With so many dinghy clubs struggling to

attract members, we are not going to have the benefit of our

traditional ‘crèche’; we are going to have to attract and nurture

new entrants ourselves. Of course, physical facilities are only

part of the answer. With some judicious reorganisation of the

Boating Department, we are in the process of appointing

a Head Coach and Off The Beach Sailing Coordinator to

nurture new entrants from beginner courses, through to active

participation in club sailing in dinghies and keelboats. We have

demanding goals in this area. In five years, we want 20% of

our membership to have some sort of involvement in OTB

activities, so this appointment is part of gearing up towards

that objective. Or, as Lou Abrahams so eloquently put it in his

note in this year’s membership booklet,”the tackers of today

are the champions of tomorrow”.

Looking ahead, 2011 is the centenary of Sandringham

Yacht Club and a sub-committee has started work on

planning a programme of events for the year. I don’t want

to go into detail here, but I am sure that there will be heavy

ISAF spectators enjoying a gorgeous Melbourne day on the

members’ poduim. Steb Fisher Photography - wwww.steb.com.au

Philip Burn as Santa at the Kids’ Christmas party

demand for a lot of the events, so I would encourage you

to make bookings as soon as the dates and events are

promulgated to avoid disappointment. As a part of our

celebrations, we are planning a SYC Centenary history.

This will be a coffee-table style book which will not only

document our history, but set the tone for the Club as we

move into our next hundred years.

Another celebration in 2011 will be the fiftieth anniversary of

the SYC Metung Easter Regatta. We are planning an event

for Easter Saturday, 23 April 2011 and if past juniors and

past parents are interested in attending, I suggest that you

start thinking about accommodation now, as the pressure

for accommodation in Metung is growing year by year,

particularly in the key holiday periods.

We have much to celebrate and much to look forward to at

this great club. I hope you enjoy this edition of Off the Wind

and I look forward to seeing you around the Club.

Yours sincerely,

The flags of the world flying during ISAF.

This is my first Off the Wind article since taking

on the role of Club Captain Sail and time

has simply flown by. One element of the role

that I particularly enjoy and take pride in is

communicating the successes of SYC boats in

the various major yachting events around the

country and there are many.

The Christmas period is dominated by the major ocean

races and various State / National Championships. SYC’s

fleet was again occupying podium positions in many of the

events and associated lead-ups, including:

It is also pleasing to see SYC boats performing well

interstate. In late 2009, Nick Bartels’ Terra Firma showed

the Sydney-siders a thing or two by winning the Sydney

Short Ocean Racing Championships in IRC Division 2.

Back in the Bay and SYC boats were again successful at this

year’s Audi Victoria Week, one of the year’s largest and most

popular regattas. Congratulations to the following SYC keel

boats and their crews for their podium places: Challenge,

Dark Energy, Dionysos , Forzado, Make My Jay, Scarlet

Runner, Stitched Up, Terra Firma, Veloce and Young Ones.

Closer to home, there has been some great racing in the

various SYC series so far this Summer. Brian Barnes is

doing a fantastic job as handicapper for the Wednesday

Wonders series, which continues to grow in popularity with

a strong fleet every week. Our Thursday evening twilight

racing also continues to be popular and is an excellent way

to introduce new members and guests into sailing. Sundays

are a popular alternative event for those that are seeking a

less-serious racing format on a weekend.

For our Saturday program, in response to member

feedback we continue to offer a variety of racing with the

Club Marine Series, long distance fixed marks racing,

SYC-based aggregate races, teams race, short-course

sprint races, slalom race, long distance passage race,

overnight race, 2-handed race and so on.

One initiative that will gain focus moving forward is to hold

our racing in close proximity to our magnificent clubhouse.

SYC is unique in the Bay in our ability to bring keelboat

racing close to the Club for increased spectator interest.

Feedback on these style courses has been very positive from

participants and spectators alike, so your Sail Committee will

continue to explore greater avenues for this initiative.

This year’s program has seen a greater level of interaction with

our colleagues at Royal Brighton Yacht Club. A number of races

have been combined which not only relieves some pressure for

our race management volunteers, but also increases the fleet

size providing additional competition to our racing.

The keelboat sailing program is constantly under review and I

encourage members to provide their feedback to myself and

Sail Committee on your ideas for improvement. We try to

listen and respond to what you want, balancing the differing

opinions as best we can to provide a balanced program.

Good sailing...

RECREATIONAL BOATING REPORT

Welcome to our summer edition of

Off The Wind and what a summer it was.

The 2009 SYC fishing comp (November 8 th )

exceeded my expectations with 41 boats

entered. We were blessed with a warm day

and not too much wind early on. Mother

nature also played a big part as the snapper

were abundant amongst our keen fisherman

during October 2009. As you may recall we

had a late start to the season (08-09) last

time around with poor results so it looks like

we will schedule November again as a date

for 2010.

It was great to see Ross Toy busy with Ian Boon’s scales

at weigh in. This time around with over 25 snapper testing

the scales. Many thanks for your help guys.

Largest snapper and our competition winner was Gary

Cadd aboard Alex Dawson’s boat with a 5.37 kg fish.

Second largest snapper was the old fox himself Ralph

White aboard his new boat aptly named Marriage Guidance

(I am sure Tina can explain the boat’s name) with a 4.92 kg

fish. Ralph and his fishing buddy Peter Burns had to front

the stewards afterwards, as it was thought that something

real fishy was going on during the competition! (See picture

that was taken at 8.00 am).

Speaking of something fishy, one of our new members

Rob Hanke aboard his 12m yacht ‘Dalliance’

weighed in the most fish conveniently packed in

polystyrene fish boxes with ice. One of his crew Dale

Minchington took out third spot with a 4.30kg fish.

As always, it’s great to see our members bring their kids or

grandkids along. Our trophy sponsor Wayne Read entered

his grandson James in the comp and he was rewarded

for his 3.12 kg snapper. Also as a novelty but not to be

sneezed at, young Miles aboard Ewan Lipman’s yacht,

caught a .74 kg flathead. After lunch our Executive Chef,

Kol, took over the BBQ to show us how to cook some

smaller snapper. This proved a great hit with our members

with the recipe on our website, thanks Kol.

All our winners took home some great ‘Jarvis Walker’ rods

and reels. I would like to take this opportunity to thank our

sponsors for helping to make the SYC fishing competition

a success again; Jarvis Walker for all our main prizes;

Wayne Read Motors for our perpetual trophy; David Flood

Marketing for our hats; R Marine Jacksons for helping

provide our BBQ lunch along with SYC and staff.

As you will be aware, the Recreationl Boating guest speaker

nights are now scheduled to be held bi-monthly as opposed

to monthly. This new scheduling has been well received by

members as reflected in the higher attendance ends.

I hope those members that attended our summer picnic raft

up enjoyed their day, so it looks like we will have to keep

this on the calendar for next year.

The 2010 Seafood fest/fisho night turned out to be a real

success. We had 198 members and guests sample a

sumptuous seafood spread. Our Executive Chef, Kol, really

turned it on with amazing flavours and delights throughout

the whole evening.

Our decision to hire the Clip Clop Club for our musical

entertainment proved to be a real winner. These guys have

been playing together for many years and enthralled the

whole audience for forty five minutes.

After the main course of ‘seared yellow fin tuna steak’ we all

paused to take a breath and a quick chat to fellow members.

Next up on stage was Ben Price’s return by audience

request but this year he was Bruce McAvaney. We all waited

for something SPECIAL and there it was, ‘Cometti- isms’.

“The Magpies ought to be kicking themselves right now, but

with their luck, they’d probably miss”. Dennis will never be

the same on Friday night football after Bruce literally took

him apart. All part of the act to make our audience laugh

and they did. A new idea then emerged as Bruce invited

some of our guests to talk boats. Yes ‘on the jetty with

Rob Hanke and crew at the fishing comp The Clip Clop Club band performing at the Seafood Festival

Bruce McAvaney’. First guest up was Greg Stephens to

talk about the ‘no name Riv’. Chris Carlile was grilled about

a slight mishap in the harbour. Steve Richards relived his

delusional time on a late night watch taking Quells and

Commodore Philip Burn answered questions regarding

budgie smugglers and Easter Bunnies.

The live raffle created enough interest to send our winners,

Ron and Britt Van Pelt to Hamilton Island for four days fishing.

At one stage their prize was sending them off the breakwater

in a little dinghy and fending for themselves. Seriously, we

raised a few extra dollars to help out ‘Off The Beach’ and

their refurbishment fund. Thanks for digging deep.

Is it surprising to hear that we still had members calling on

the day to book a table? Let’s face it, we all leave some

things to the last minute, but I did give fair warning, book

early or miss out. I am sorry for those that missed a great

night but we have to let the kitchen know at least three days

out for catering.

The Commodore was kind enough to add a few words

of thanks to all concerned at the end of the night. By all

accounts everyone enjoyed the night and I was particularly

pleased to hear the Commodore announce “the Seafood

night is here to stay and definitely a club event for members

to enjoy each year”.

Look forward to seeing you on the water.

OFF THE BEACH REPORT

What a memorable year of activity and historical highlights it has been around the Club in

2009/10! To name but a few... The wake of the old clubhouse that served us so well for so

many years! The opening of the new clubhouse and all the associated celebrations such

as the Soft Opening, the SYC Ball, Opening Day and the list goes on. Somewhere along

the way we found time to go sailing, with the first major dinghy regatta of the season

being Sail Sandy in October. The operations of the new clubhouse were certainly put to

the test over this period and the regatta served as an excellent learning experience and

pre-cursor to the Sailing World Cup which was held shortly after in December. Racing for

both events was held at close proximity to the front of the clubhouse, with the new front

balcony providing a perfect viewing platform for the spectators. The atmosphere around

the Club was absolutely vibrant and I would encourage all members to come down and

join in when these great events happen again next season!

Looking forward to other events, we are also very excited to

be hosting the International Cadet National Championships

at SYC in January 2011. As most will know, the Cadets

have a long standing history at SYC spanning over 50 years

as a pre-eminent junior training class. Accordingly, we are

delighted to again be hosting the Nationals. Whilst on this

note, I should mention that all of our crews that attended this

year’s nationals performed extremely well, so the competition

will be intense when the title comes to our home waters!

On a different note, while we are doing our best to keep

the OTB facilities working, the poor state of the building

and rigging area continues to be a problem for us. This

has no doubt been highlighted to many members in recent

times due to the fact that aspects of the new clubhouse

directly overlook the area. However, I would like to assure

our members that the Club management and General

Committee are working hard on various strategies to fix the

area. This is a priority for the Club and I have no doubt that

as trading settles in the new clubhouse, ultimately the OTB

area will be brought up to the same standard as the rest of

the Club. I would impose on everyone to bear with it in the

meantime and be patient... It will happen!

Once again our SYC dinghy sailors enjoyed considerable

success over the Christmas period (Dinghy National

Championships) and in particular our congratulations go to

the following crews who achieved outstanding results;

James Sly & Andrew Gillies – 1st 29er Nationals & 2nd 29er

Youth Nationals

Sam Kivell & Will Ryan - 2 nd 470 Nationals (Olympic Class)

Isabella Say & Ben Brill - 2 nd Cadet Nationals

Anton & Julian Sasson - 3 rd Cadet Nationals

Jack Felsenthal – 3rd Australian Optimist Oceania

& Australian Championships

Tim Hill – 1 st Musto Skiff Nationals

Marcus Hamilton – 2 nd Musto Skiff Nationals

Paul & Hugh Ridgway - 3 rd Hobie Formula 18 Nationals

Paul & Bronwyn Ridgway also won the Tasar State

Titles (Nationals not until July 2010)

Cadet Whip It! catches a wave ‘Insayne’ downwind in big seas during International Cadet

Australian Championships

I would also like to acknowledge all the sailors and families

who made the effort to attend their Nationals. It is a big

task in every respect to pack up all the gear and head off

interstate for a week of intense competition! Well done to all!!

On a final note, one of my personal highlights of the season

has been catching up with all of the OTB sailors and

families on many a Wednesday evening for an informal

BBQ after Twilight racing (and at times admittedly Thursday

mornings have been a little slow). We all come along to

compete or support our families, but the great camaraderie

and sense of community we have at our club makes it a

special place to be! As my time as the Club Captain nears

an end, I would also like to extend my personal thanks

and appreciation to all those people who have so willingly

supported me and who have volunteered their time each

week to ensure the Off The Beach area runs smoothly.

Thanks!

Yours in sailing,

Club Captain Off The Beach

JUNIOR DEVELOPMENT SQUAD

The Junior Development Squad (JDS) is an

SYC supported training initiative funded

partly by member support and partly by the

participants. The 2009/2010 season has

seen a steady improvement in the skill level

and competitiveness of all our JDS sailors

under the guidance of Head Coach Max

Taylor. Max was ably supported by Warren

Slater of South Eastern Sails and recent

Ex Cadet Joel Aulich on the two occasions

when Max’s own sailing commitments

kept him away and we are grateful for their

willing assistance.

The two major regattas for our JDS Cadets are their

Nationals which were held in Adelaide in January and the

Victorian States which were held at RYCV on the March

long weekend. Sandringham Cadets produced excellent

results at the Nationals with two of our crews selected to

represent Australia at the 2010 International Cadet Worlds

in Poland and also placed 2 nd and 3 rd at the States, certainly

Sandringham’s best results for some years. Nearly all of

our Squad members improved on previous regatta results

with some of our less experienced members finishing high

up in the fleet in individual races. Max kindly made himself

available to coach at the States beyond the scope of the

JDS program and all our sailors benefitted from his wisdom

at the event.

The JDS sailors have been keen and receptive participants

in the program and have learned much from Max as the

results across the fleet will attest. Max has kindly offered

to continue the program through the winter months to

further sharpen their skills in preparation for the 2011 Cadet

Nationals to be sailed at Sandringham from December 27

2010 to January 4 2011. The Cadets are looking forward

to hosting such a prestigious event on their home waters

and we can expect to see some of our Junior Development

Squad Cadets at the forefront of the fleet.

Cadet Monty takes off!

As is inevitable, a few of our skippers from the Squad

are moving on to youth classes after their time in Cadets

and we take this opportunity to thank them for their

participation, particularly for the mentoring of their young

crews; the skippers of the future. Hopefully the skills and

techniques learned in their time with the JDS will stand

them in good stead as the progress in their sailing careers.

A big thanks to the many supporting parents who help out

with RIB driving, mark laying, Race Management and to the

ladies of the Canteen who keep the Squad fully fuelled up

and raring to go!

Lastly, a very special thanks to Max Taylor who so willingly

and enthusiastically gives of his time and experience for the

betterment of our young sailors. It is great to see one of our

own most successful dinghy sailors giving so much back to

the Club.

WISC - Women In Sailing Challenge 2009/2010

Once again, we had a good size fleet

participating with 19 boats from Sandringham

and Royal Brighton yacht clubs.

At the time of writing, the competition this

year has been fierce with many vying for the

top place. Audacious (Kate Clarke and her

crew from RBYC) giving last year’s winner

Hush (Marissa McManus and crew from

SYC) a run for their money for the major

prize. Oh so close! Absolute (SYC - Lorraine

Steers) and Smooth Criminal (SYC - Helen

Cameron) are also nipping at their heels.

Suzette Pelt and her team at Queensland Yacht Charters

have again sponsored the series. The major prize awarded

to the PHD winner, is a fabulous Whitsunday holiday with

Queensland Yacht Charters (A $4000 voucher which can be

used towards a bareboat charter on any Queensland Yacht

Charters yacht, catamaran or powerboat)

Noreen Marr from Worldwide Ticketing has again provided

first prize for AMS, a perpetual trophy and a voucher for

$400 and Ronstan have generously provided first prize for

the IRC winner.

As was the case last year, RBYC co-hosted the series.

Information nights were run on a weekly basis leading up to

the first race which were very informative and well attended;

a great success. Guest speakers included

Sarah Blanck - Dual Olympian and three times World

Champion spoke on race and boat preparation.

Discipline, discipline, discipline!

Rowan Simpson - who runs Lou Abrahams’ “Challenge”

Sydney 38, who spoke with great enthusiasm on crew work

which had all attendees glued to their seats and provoked a

number of questions/comments

John Chatham - former YV keelboat committee chairman,

past SYC Sail Club Captain and owner of 38 Degrees South

did a great job once again on race trim and boat mechanics

Brett Averay - from Evolution/Quantum Sails provided an inside

view of race starts and tactics, which many of us have put to use

There was also an on-the-water race clinic on starts and

coaching, run by RBYC, prior to race one, which was a

huge success.

The Women in Sailing Challenge consists of six races,

one per month, from October to April the following year.

This series is open to all women who wish to improve their

sailing skills or get into sailing. It is open to all yacht clubs

around the bay - it is not just SYC and RBYC boats that

participate, we had a boat from Safety Beach in the series.

The object of the series is to encourage female crew

to take on key roles on the boat. The criteria for

the series is female crew must be in the following

key crew positions; helm, mainsheet trimmer and

foredeck. Yes, you can have guys on board, but there is a

limit to the number of male to female crew depending on

the size of the boat and number of female crew.

It is a lot of fun and good competitive sailing. It keeps getting

better each year. So come on and get out there and give it a go!

See you on the water,

SOCIAL REPORT

The first of our events in the new

clubhouse was our Annual SYC Ball,

sponsored by World Wide Ticketing. It

was a sellout. As a result we decided to

incorporate the event into the Harbour

View Restaurant to enable more members

to attend and in total we had 340 people,

which was an awesome response!

The night went well, the food was delicious, the band “Big

and Horny” were fabulous! The room which was decorated

by the social committee under the instruction of our

marvelous Cheryl Renouf looked great once again. Thanks

to Gillian Stubbs, SYC staff and to all involved in our first

club event!!! Many thanks also to Noreen Maher and our

other sponsors.

Eryl and Cheryl the trivia hosts

Members and guests enjoying the entertainment at the ball

Next we had our new phase of members trivia sponsored

by “Boat Books”. With our new hosts Eryl and Cheryl,

we started the new season in the Members’ Lounge.

The winning trophy was taken out by Intelligence Sans

Frontieres. Congratulations! Second were Rag Tag and

third, Off The Beach. Well done everyone! We had lots of

fun and would like to encourage more people to come

and join in this year: create a team or just turn up, we can

always accommodate you. The next season commences

on the 25 th June and will continue to be held on the last

Friday of every month over winter. Thank you once again to

our Trivia sponsor ~ “Boat Books”.

In November we had our inaugural “Calcutta Cup Eve

Night” organised by the wonderful Doris Little. It was an

absolute success, with non-stop entertainment. The

phantom Melbourne Cup race caller was a hoot! Each

table received a horse and then the horses were auctioned

off. What a sight to behold, with some members getting

very excited! We had fantastic auction items, one of which

was the silks of famous jockey Glen Boss. Along with a

marvellous dinner, we were entertained by the famous

Normie Rowe and the original playboys.

Doris, with the help of the Social Committee, did a fantastic

job and due to the success of the evening it is now a

permanent fixture in the social calendar.

You couldn’t hear a pin drop, when Doris gave her touching

speech on Motor Neuron Disease, as all the funds raised

from this night went to the research of Motor Neuron.

Emotions were running high that night, whether it was

laughter or a few tears but all in all, what a great night!

Thank you to Doris and Tim Little, the committee, Bill

Stubbs who did a wonderful job of being the MC for the

night, our auctioneer John Clarkson from Hocking Stewart,

Jen Middleton, Normie Rowe and the Playboys, our

generous sponsors and all the staff at SYC. We raised

$32,000 which was an amazing effort.

The social committee at the Ball Sarah Thompson new

committee member

The next day was backed up by our traditional “Cup Day”

event, held for the first time in our new Members’ Bar. Our

club bookies Tommy Raft and Mitch with their expertise did

an excellent job running the sweeps for the day. Once again

a good fun day, thanks guys.

Other events and dates to remember:

AWARDS

4 star marina

SYC MEDIA RELEASE

Four Gold 3 1/2 Anchor star marina rating latest accolade

for Sandringham Yacht Club (SYC)

SYC just keeps on winning accolades and

this time the Club has been announced as

one of only eight marinas to receive

3 star marina

a Gold Anchor rating from the Marina

Industries Association.

A Gold Anchor rating provides boat owners and marina

users with a simple way to determine which marinas best fit

their needs via a quick and easy reference system similar to

the hotel association’s star rating scheme.

Gold Anchor marinas are independently assessed against

specialised point-based criteria covering more than 96

different elements of marina facilities and services.

Once a rating has been assigned to a marina, it is subject to

mystery-shopper checks over the following three-year rating

period to ensure the integrity of the scheme remains.

The Gold Anchor rating system helps consumers

differentiate and choose marinas based on their needs.

Thrilled with their accreditation as a Four Gold Anchor

marina, Richard Hewett, the CEO of SYC commented:

“The Gold Anchor rating for SYC gives us International

recognition whilst also benchmarking us against some

of the best facilities around the world. Further to the

recognition that comes with the four gold anchors, it has

provided us with an independent ‘service health check’

identifying areas where we can improve and meeting these

higher standards is now our focus”.

One of the most innovative yacht clubs in Australia, in mid

2006 SYC became the first club in Victoria to receive National

Clean Marina Australia accreditation. In late 2009, the Club

was re accredited as a Clean Marina with Level 3 accreditation.

In October 2009, SYC opened the doors to their striking

new premises beautifully designed by Richard Mabin &

POLICE AWARD

The Sandringham Police recently acknowledged

SYC for their work with the community. Pictured

here is Sergeant of Police Christopher Gustke

and the Club’s CEO Richard Hewett. “Our local

law enforcers have been a tremendous help

over the past year with advice and support

on Emergency Response Planning Issues,

Liquor Licence Compliance and assistance

with special events. It is enormously helpful

to have such proactive local law enforcement

assistance from the Sandringham police, we

are very grateful” said Richard.

Associates and built by Kane Constructions Pty Ltd. Since

then, the Club’s Facilities Manager, Paul Corfield, was one

of just 15 to receive a prestigious Community Hero Award.

Shortly after, the Club won the Best Club Redevelopment

Award at the annual Clubs Victoria Achievements Awards

Night, recognised for its outstanding new clubhouse

redevelopment.

SYC also won the ‘Best Community Facility Design’ at the

Victorian Government 2009 Sport and Recreation Awards

in November. A prestigious award, it recognises new or

refurbished sport and recreation facilities, with the focus

on excellence in planning and design and a demonstrated

impact on participation.

Other awards won by the Club, which has a training facility

second to none, include Environmental awards in 2007

and 2009 at the Victorian Marine Industry Awards and the

Victorian Yacht Club of the Year in 2007. It was also a top

three finalist in the Marina of the Year awards in 2007.

Apart from the fabulous dining and function rooms, the

Club’s training facility is second to none and services many

of the schools in the area.

The new club boasts a training auditorium with meeting

rooms, which will establish SYC as a leader in providing

accredited courses in sail training, boat handling, marina

operations and resort management water-related activities.

SYC provides skills and training and is recognised as one

of very few sporting clubs in the country with Registered

Training Organisation (RTO) status.

J24 NATIONALS AT SANDY

In true one design tradition you can always

rely on a great competition. “With only

one day of racing to go in the Australian

J24 championships, there is only one point

between first and second and one point

between third and fourth. The current

standings have Doug McGain NSW first 14

points, Sean Wallis W.A. second 15 points,

Hugo Ottaway Vic third 22 points, Dave

Suda Vic fourth 23 points and Sean Kirkjian

NSW 32 points. McGain, Wallis, Ottaway

and Kirkjian, are all Australian Champions

and Suda a runner up National Champion.”

So wrote Hugo Ottaway on the night before the last day - a

day that changed the aspirations of many and the outcome

of the whole championship.

The second last day’s heats were sailed in the same perfect

Port Philip Bay sailing conditions experienced during the whole

regatta, a 10 to 15 knot southeast wind matched with a flat

sea and clear 28 degree temperature saw both Suda and

Kirkjian win heats putting additional pressure on the front three

boats. Doug McGain and Hugo Ottaway had consolidated their

positions with two seconds for Doug and two thirds for Hugo.

Sean Wallis - after electing to drink more responsibly and

swimming the boat for the first time in 10 years - had his worst

day so far with an 8th and 4th. However, with the one race drop

system now kicking in after six races completed, Wallis was still

able to hold onto second at the end of the penultimate day.

Both McGain and Wallis needed top eight positions on the last

day to secure their hold on first and second, anything worse

could see Ottaway and Suda with a win, move into the lead.

Pacemaker

The early part of the regatta gave the competitors a good

chance to get their racing sorted out with the weather providing

fantastic sailing. Sean Wallis had taken an early lead with the

rest of the pack shuffling into rough position behind him.

The Social Committee headed by Robyn and Sarah had got

into gear and Tuesday night’s Mexican hi jinx was a night to

remember. The Mexican spirit flowed liberally and stick-on

moustaches, ponchos and sombreros were all the rage.

Live music, Mexican accents and margaritas all combined

to make sure the night was a huge success. Dave off Wetty

Gripper won the major prize in the raffle of a huge hamper

donated by Hamper Creations of Melbourne.

So to the last day and with Wallis needing to beat McGain

in both races to win the title, neither crew let the other have

any breathing space. Both headed off from the start together

and stayed no more than a boat length apart up the first

windward leg, with McGain ahead of Wallis at the first mark.

On the downwind leg to the finish Wallis once again headed

to the right side of the course with McGain & Kirkjian to the

left. But at the finish line it was Alyn Stevenson first, winning

his first Australian championship heat followed by Wallis,

Kirkjian and McGain respectively.

Going into the final race the tables had turned, Wallis now

lead the championship with a one point lead from McGain

while Ottaway had beaten Suda in race 9 to secure a two

point buffer in third place.

The final race saw McGain start at the boat end with Wallis

about five boat lengths further down the line in the company

of Suda. The positions remained unchanged at the front of the

fleet with Wallis finishing ahead of Suda with McGain third.

An unfortunate first beat and top mark rounding saw Hugo

Ottaway in Vice Versa stuck at the back of the pack, with

Pacemaker having an easy time up the front.

Dave Suda in Pacemaker leads to the top mark

The final result saw Pacemaker sneak home with a third

overall, Doug McGain second and Sean Wallis retaining

his title with back to back championship wins.

The handicap championship was won by Adam Evans

and his youth team from Sandy sailing Two Dogs while

the first female skipper was Kirsty Harris from Sandy and

her all female team sailing Hyperactive.

The Sandringham Yacht Club’s recently built state of the

art clubhouse and facilities were excellent, along with an

immensely professional approach to race management

by Graeme Watt and his team, the sailing department at

the Club and all the volunteers it once again proved the

Club is one of the world’s best venues for yacht racing.

J24 Australia wishes to thank the volunteers, members

and management of the SYC for their support in hosting

this event. We also thank the sponsors, Ronstan,

Hamper Creations, Sidetracked Entertainment Centre

and Sandringham YC. We also congratulate the success

of the various SYC participants.

The Presentation dinner was held in the Port Phillip room,

on a stunningly calm and warm Friday night after the last

day’s racing, with presentations, music and dancing till the

wee small hours.

As well as the perpetual trophies successfully defended

this year by Sean, seven skippers also each took away

impressive half model trophies made by our national

measurer Peter Stevens. Each of these models was coated

in various colours to indicate the place, with gold, silver

and bronze for the first three one design and blue, red and

green for the handicap. Fittingly the female skipper’s model

was done in pink.

To add more success to the championship, two Sandy

crews are now going to Sweden to represent Australia in

the 2010 World Championships. Hugo Ottaway and Robyn

Coombs and their crews have won the right to sail and are

now making their preparations.

The success of the Nationals here has already had positive

results for the fleet with more interest and a number of new

boats expected at the Club in the very near future.

Happy one design J sailing.

2009/10 INTERNATIONAL CADET CLASS

Australian Championships Report

‘Odyssey' Jarad Cavanagh & Dylan Rohan Cadet Nationals fleet returning after

race abandoned

Two out of three ain’t bad!

Ten Sandringham Cadets together with

their supporting families and friends

made the journey to Adelaide to compete

in the 2009/10 Cadet Nationals from

January 12-17 2010. They faced intense

competition in a huge 81 boat fleet and

came away with two podium placings; the

best Sandringham Yacht Club result from a

Cadet Nationals for some time.

The event commenced with measurement carried out

in extremely hot (43Deg C!) conditions with shade at

a premium. The predominantly windy series was then

superbly conducted by Adelaide Sailing Club under Pro

Malcolm Hughes in often challenging conditions with three

races unable to be sailed due to strong winds and high

seas. All races were sailed on well laid triangular courses.

The shortened nine race series was won convincingly by

Tasmania’s Alec Bailey (15) and sister Samantha (12) who

had just returned from scoring an excellent third place

for Australia at the Cadet Worlds in Argentina over the

Christmas – New Year period. Alec and Samantha won the

Cadet class at Sail Sandy in October 2009 as part of their

preparation for the Worlds and Nationals.

Second place went to early series leader, Sandringham’s

Isabella Say and Benjamin Brill sailing ‘Insayne’ to three heat

wins. Isabella won the Mermaid Trophy for the top female

skipper and Benjamin won the trophy for the first male crew.

Joining ‘Insayne’ on the podium, in third place overall, was

Sandringham’s ‘Samaran’ sailed by Anton Sasson with

younger brother Julian as crew. Both Sandringham Cadets

received invitations to join the Australian Team for the

'Magoo 11' Patrick Chipp & Austin

Hollingsworth

Jacob Freeman & Carlo Caiani 'Quantum

forthcoming Cadet Worlds to be sailed in Puck, Poland in

July 2010, a great result for SYC.

Continuing their great progress, one of SYC’s newer Cadet

skippers, Jacob Freeman and his crew Carlo Caiani sailing

‘Quantum Leap’, were declared overall winners of the

Handicap division.

All Sandringham Cadet sailors performed well and were in

every respect a credit to their Club. In a particularly windy series

with tidal influence creating big seas, it was particularly pleasing

to see some of our less experienced young sailors tough it out

to complete their races. Many supporting parents and friends

were greatly impressed with their determination and stamina

which bodes well for their future as competitive sailors.

Sandringham’s Cadet sailors formed part of the 40 boat

Victorian contingent at the Nationals and were ably coached

by Tom Kelly with assistance from former SYC Cadet sailor

Joel Aulich, giving the benefit of their many years experience

in the Cadets.

Presentation Night at Adelaide Sailing Club provided the

MEMBER PROFILE

Yachtshare evolved from an extremely

successful business called Boatshare

which was established in the late 90’s.

With over 35 cruisers to its credit and

servicing well over 150 families Boatshare

added luxury Jeanneau yachts to its fleet

and formalised ‘Yachtshare” as a separate

entity in 2007. Yachtshare has 20 families

syndicating Jeanneau yachts in Brisbane.

Yachtshare is expanding its operations to include Melbourne

at the Sandringham Yacht Club, Royal Geelong Yacht

Club in Geelong and at Docklands in Melbourne. It is our

intention to have at least three Jeanneau 42’ DS’s on Port

Philip Bay by mid to late 2010. Facilitating a simple and fair

equity ownership program, Yachtshare has become one of

the most successful syndicated yacht ownership programs

in Australia.

Owners purchase an equity share in a beautiful Jeanneau

yacht and contribute to the ongoing expenses. Access to time

on their yacht is via a user friendly online booking system.

Every Yachtshare vessel is detailed, replenished and

maintained by a dedicated husband and wife team after

every use of the boat, to the highest standard, ensuring

Owners can enjoy their boat without any of the usual effort

associated with owning a large yacht. Yachtshare arranges

all aspects of normal boat maintenance including engine

servicing, antifouling, berthing, detailing, cleaning, insurance

and much, much more.

Well established in Brisbane, Yachtshare is now expanding

to Victoria and plans to instigate various social events for

its Owners designed to enhance their yachting experience.

We are committed to ensuring Owners enjoy an

exceptional boating lifestyle and that Yachtshare exceeds

their expectations.

Ron White’s membership number at SYC

says it all – 0003! A member since 1964,

Ron is a former Commodore and a lifelong

contributor to our great club. These

observations, extracted from a letter from

Ron to the Commodore, give a fascinating

insight into club life from the end of the

Second World War to the 1980’s

Dear Commodore Philip Burn,

Approximately fifty years ago, I began working in the SYC

yard, at the request of Commodore Aub McKenzie, who

had been chairman of the Country Roads Board in Victoria

and also chairman of Melbourne Harbour Trust. He was

commissioned by the Melbourne Harbour Trust to supervise

the construction of the sea walls at Brighton, St Kilda and

Sandringham foreshore.

I could not afford in those days to become a member, I was

busy paying off my house and raising my three children.

Eric McKenzie, forman at the CRB yard would ring and say

a bulldozer had to be taken down to SYC yard and tested.

I would have to make a written report on its performance.

These tests, done on the SYC yard, saved the SYC

valuable funds on the surface construction. Alan Truan, a

SYC member on the General Committee, who was on the

Victorian Railways Board, would ring to say there would be

used railway lines and sleepers available for SYC use. Eric

McKenzie and I would take my low loader down the line

on a Sunday morning and drag the rails and sleepers back

to the truck and load them by hand and then back to SYC

where we would lay them. I remember one time we picked

up a load of rails and sleepers at Spotswood, costing 3

pounds 8 shillings for the load, once again saving SYC

valuable money.

Each time we had a function I would have to go down to

SYC, early the following morning and bury the night soil,

as SYC did not have a sewerage system. At one stage we

had a garbage strike lasting 2 or 3 weeks, the bins were full

of maggots. Ernie Byron and I had to shovel them out of

the filthy bins and pay the tip-master very well to bury them.

I had to drive home in a singlet and underpants as my

clothes were putrid. No job too filthy or too hard. The Club

realised we would have to connect to the main sewerage

line on Beach Road and get a new water main, if not we

would be closed down by the Health Department. Being an

ex-player and ex-member of Sandringham Football Club, I

was able to get permission to tap into both their sewerage

and water mains, to save the cost of entry to the mains.

In the late 70’s, I became involved with the construction of

the St Kilda Marina and sent free crushed rock to the Club

in preparation for the sealing of the yard surface. I also sent

the asphalt company to the Club at no charge. During all

the work at SYC, no money was borrowed.

MEMBER NEWS - RON WHITE

During my time as Commodore, Tom Stevenson made a bid

for the World Half Ton Cup and the support given to Tom

and his team was great. Some thirty thousand dollars was

raised mainly by the Associates. Ron Langman, Head of

Containers Ltd, gave some thousands of cans which were

filled up with beer by CUB breweries, which were sold to

the Americans, the funds being used by our boys to train.

As Commodore of SYC and vice-president of VYC I

approached the AYF for the right to hold the Admiral’s Cup

trials at SYC in Victoria, as the tidal position at the heads

were similar to that of the Solent in England. When we

were given the green light, we built a new deep water slip to

service the competitors. The trials were a great success and

the Australian team went to the UK and won the Admiral’s

Cup for Australia.

Ross Farrow then asked me whether I thought I could

obtain a lease for QCYC. I invited the then minister, Vasey

Haughton down to QCYC and he promised to grant them

their lease. As president of SADFC, I invited the minister

down to Sandringham foreshore where he gave permission

for the croquet club to replace their building, which had

been burnt down, as long as it was easily removable.

Once again council had refused. We also ran a fundraising

day for the sea scouts towards the cost of their

new building. We raised $7,000. All these I thought were

good public relations for the SYC. In 1979 I was awarded

joint yachtsman of the year for my efforts. I was also guest

of honour at RBYC centenary dinner. I was also Victorian

Admiral’s Cup selector.

I went to the Admiral’s Cup in the UK and worked long hours

with Don Lang on Challenge, to prepare her for the cup, at my

own expense. The support I received form Arthur Kilpatrick

and Rex Newman, both life members, was fantastic.

I still help service the race buoys for the same amount I

have always charged, the only increase being for the cost

of the pen. I help Paul whenever needed and towed a forty

tonne metre barge to and from Heron Island twice, for no

charge, laid and retrieved inner wall buoys for no charge.

I remember jumping into the water and roping large rocks

and then towing them out to sea, to clear the fairway.

Whether I met our Commodore in Chief at SYC, the Queen at

the cultural centre or Prince Charles at Government House,

I always endeavoured to enhance the reputation of SYC. In

1985 I had five heart by-passes done but continued to sail

“Shenandoah 2” with a great deal of success.

MEMBER NEWS - HUGH PILSWORTH

At the beginning of February 2008 myself,

my wife and two crew were on board our

Jeanneau SO49 yacht in Shelter Bay Marina

at the north end of the Panama Canal. We

were waiting to transit The Canal on our

journey from Ireland to Melbourne.

The weather was hot, at around 38 degrees and very humid

and there were thundercells around every day.

It is a requirement that the boat carry sufficient crew to

handle four heavy lines, 120 feet long minimum diameter

of 1 inch, so they are heavyweight. As we didn’t have such

lines aboard we did the usual and rented them. We also

borrowed an extra crewman for the trip. Neils was a Dane

from another yacht waiting its turn to go. Neils would then

become a valued crew man on his yacht as he will have

done the transit when their turn comes around.

All the yachts going through together were briefed on what

to expect and were also checked again that their engine

was sufficiently powerful to maintain an average seven

knots throughout and it was explained just how expensive it

is to break down in the canal. The only course open is to be

towed into port by a canal tug, usually used to manoeuvre

the big ships and left there. You are also heavily fined for

missing out on your slot and will be forced to wait several

weeks for a new transit time. All at your own cost.

On the appointed day we were told to cross the entrance

channel and anchor at The Flats. This is a muddy bottomed

holding area out of the channel and reserved for small

boats. The advisor, a sort of apprentice pilot and the hired

ropes were due on board at around 5 to 6pm, but the ropes

landed at 6.30pm and the advisor at 8.30pm. It gets very

dark at around 6pm, so we were a bit more nervous about

doing all this in the dark!

After the advisor jumped on board from the very solid steel

pilot boat we upped the anchor and set off to the Gatun

Locks at slow speed, picking up two other yachts on the

way. These would raft up with us for the transit. One was

a French catamaran and the other a sloop from Estonia.

Fortunately English is the operating language in the Canal

Zone. We all approached the first lock, tied to each other

with the cat. in the centre. The whole area was lit up

brighter than daylight! What a power bill was my thought,

but then we all pay dearly to go through. We were the first

raft in and so had to motor the full 1000 feet of the lock.

The walls are fairly rough concrete and definitely not for

rubbing with GRP! We had tyres and fenders hanging over

to protect ourselves. It took about 15 minutes to load the

lock with the other rafts, fortunately no ships.

As we waited there was some shouting and then the shore

handlers threw over light lines to which we attached our

heavy ones. One of them got caught up in the lazy jacks but

with a bit of pulling and pushing, and a little swearing, we got

it free. As soon as all the heavy lines had been pulled ashore

the water began to rise. The crew on the ropes have to pull

in rapidly as we rise so as to keep the raft in the centre of

the lock. Its hard work as the boat gets buffeted around. We

were told by our advisor that the flow rate was half of normal,

but it was still rough enough and we had to keep pulling in

on the ropes to keep the boats central. Our bow thruster got

a good work out as well. Quite quickly we were up about 30

feet above sea level and the lock gates ahead of us began

to open. They are huge units made out of wood and steel.

Soon enough we were motoring forward another 1000 feet

for a repeat performance. There are three locks so by the

time we reached Gatun Lake we were nearly 90 feet above

the Atlantic. This is the highest I hope the boat will ever be!

We quickly moved on to a mooring in the lake, put there for

shipping to wait and slept for a few hours. The pilot got off for

the night. You are expected to feed them and supply water/

tea/coffee to them during the transit, but their costs are fully

covered by your fee no tipping required, and they are a very

friendly bunch of people. They are also amongst the best

paid workers in Panama.

Next morning, as dawn broke, we were woken by an

incredible noise. We thought the boat next to us was

still partying, but it turned out to be the Howler Monkeys

planning out their day’s activities. Although it only lasted

about 5 minutes there was no sleeping through the noise!

Shortly afterwards our new advisor came aboard and we

set off towards the Pacific. There is a short cut, the Banana

Channel, through the jungle. No ships can take this route,

it’s too twisty for them. It’s about a five hour motor to the

Gaillard Cut and on to the next set of locks, only two this

time, but bigger. We were delayed for a few minutes whilst

some blasting took place, part of the ongoing widening and

deepening process to allow bigger ships through.

As with the previous locks we rafted up and entered the

first lock. This time it was during the peak heat of the day

and the crewman on the foredeck, who was letting out rope

this time, was being roasted in the heat and direct sun. An

umbrella does a great job of keeping the sun off as well as

the rain. This lock dropped us about 45 feet and then it was

motoring about a mile to the second lock. As we motored

along we admired the crocodiles on the banks and kept

our feet and hands well inside the boat! After the second

lock was finished we motored on out, dropping off the pilot

first and then the ropes and tyres we had rented. Next up

was The Bridge of the Americas, a spectacular suspension

bridge, linking North & South America. As we passed

under this we celebrated entering The Pacific Ocean and

approximately half way through our journey.

The Panama Canal is an amazing feat of engineering,

even without all the climatic and health problems that were

encountered during its construction. If you are ever in

Panama you will always get a berth on any yacht transiting,

help is always welcomed. It’s also amazing to see a couple

of ships crossing the road in front of you as you drive into

Colon from Shelter Bay Marina. However even the locals will

tell you that it’s not a country in which to wander round the

cities, although we had no problems in Panama City.

Just for information each time a lock is filled or emptied

some 24 million gallons of fresh water is used. Mostly the

authorities try to have a ship going up balanced by one

descending so that the water is just moved sideways. This

is one reason that yachts are tolerated only, they take all

that water and displace virtually nothing.

Each of the locomotive engine (electric power) that you see in

photos generates a pull of 20 tons and costs $40 million each.

MEMBER NEWS - CROATIA EXPERIENCE

Exploring the coast of Croatia would have

to be among one of our most memorable

holidays and would highly recommend it to

anyone who enjoys sailing and likes to have

an adventure!

Last year we participated in the two week

Croatian Yacht Rally organised by Mariner

Boating. There were six yachts with crews

from five Australian yacht clubs.

We (Kathy & Paul Jacka, Carole & Mike Welsh and Jean

& Peter Telford) were one of the two crews who were from

Sandringham. The other team John and Sandy Lindholm

(family and friends) actually won their Croatian trip in our

Yacht Club membership promotion.

Trevor and Maggie who run Mariner Boating accompanied

the group and were our tour guides / race organisers who

provided assistance as we made our journey along the

Croatian Coast. They have done the trip many times and

are very competent with their suggestions for what to do on

the lay days.

We raced and sailed down the Dalmatian Island chain

from Sibenik to Dubrovnik via Trogir, Rogoznica, Vis, Hvar,

Lastovo, Korcula, Miljet and Sipan. Every place was filled

with history and magnificient views.

Our yachts were Dufour 44,s with very comfortable and

spacious accommodation for three couples with an extra

little cabin that we used as our walk in robe! There was

even an air conditioner on the yacht which we didn’t

discover until the end of the trip!

Typically a race would be over the last 10 – 15 miles of a

passage between two ports of call on the rally route, with

the morning spent cruising to a rendezvous for lunch before

a start. The marina berthing was all pre booked and paid

for, so all we had to do was tie up and enjoy a crew dinner

and meet with the locals.

All the marinas were very well equipped with clean

showering facilities and had convenience shops that

sufficed for topping up our basic food and beverage

requirements. We were also able to get fresh foods from the

local markets.

The lay days enabled us to do whatever we wanted whether

it be to go exploring, sightseeing or to sample some local

foods and experience a little shopping.

This was a great way to see another country travelling with

friends. Well worth doing!

The Greek Islands and Villages are very much a part of this

Rally and our ‘lay day followed by passage day’ rally allows

time to explore.

Colourful lamps in the Grand Bazaar, Istanbul

Many of us are a bit competitive!

Time to stop and make contact with the locals

is an intergal component of our rally concept.

Many of them are now old friends of our rallies.

The racing can be brisk or relaxed

An early morning walk on the tiny island of Arki will be accompanied by the sound of goats bells as the goats are

returned to the hills after milking for the feta cheese for which the island if famous.

SYCBA

The Club Marine SYC Boating Academy’s

Tackers Programs are 100% beginner

friendly and is the perfect way to

introduce your child to the wonderful

sport of sailing. Tackers is a junior

development program aiming to provide

every Australian junior school student the

opportunity to go sailing in a professional,

safe and fun environment.

The Tackers Program uses SYC’s fleet of Optimists -

the YA endorsed junior training boat, which are virtually

indestructible and unsinkable. They have plenty of

buoyancy and perform well even with the weight of adult

sized instructors aboard, should they need to help the

participants. Our aim is to develop confidence in and

around boats in a fun and team spirited atmosphere.

Our instructors and assistants are qualified with Level 1

Yachting Australia Instructors Certificates and are trained

specifically for the Club Marine SYC Boating Academy

courses. All of the Instructors are very experienced dinghy

sailors and are skilled in the running of Junior Sailing Programs

and many of the participants return for repeat experiences.

Your child’s introduction to sailing will be safe, fun, educational

and will leave them wanting to come back for more.

There are normally two participants per boat. This can vary

with the different sizes of the participants. The Instructors

also take into account the sailing ability and confidence of

the participants in the given weather conditions.

We take safety very seriously. We have on and off water

policies that our instructors follow and use to base their

decisions upon. When on the water all participants must

wear PFD1’s (Australian Standards Approved) which we

supply. The theme of water safety runs throughout the

course. The Club Marine SYC Boating Academy and it’s

instructors adhere to policies and procedures set by our

governing body; Yachting Australia.

Participants are provided with Tackers branded gear and

materials such as Tackers branded T-shirt and waterbottle.

Additionally all participants receive junior membership to the

Sandringham Yacht Club for the remainder of the Club year!

The Club Marine SYC Boating Academy delivers weekend

Tackers programs throughout the year, Tackers After School

and Tackers Squad programs in Terms 1 & 4 and Tackers

Holiday programs Term 3, Christmas/New Year and Term 1.

At the conclusion of the course, students will receive a

certificate as well as information regarding further courses

and Club programs. Instructors are always available to

discuss sailing pathways and general advice for those

looking to continue their sailing experience.

The only prerequisites are that children must be a minimum

of seven years of age (the course is open for children

between the recommended ages of seven to twelve years

of age) and able to swim a minimum of 50 metres. The

programs are open to both members and non members so

please spread the word to friends who have children who

would like to learn to sail!
