BOATS AT THE CLUB This is another in the series of articles aimed at providing you with an insight into new boats and other boats of interest at the Club. Contact Mellissa through the Club if you are interested in having your boat featured here.
LIVING ON THE EDGE Tony Scarfo, together with his wife Antonette and two children, James and Danielle, have made the big step and bought a boat and joined our Club. The boat is a power boat, a Crownline 19ss, built in the USA. Powered by a 5.0 litre fuel injected V8 Mercruiser, it will be used mainly for fishing, skiing and general leisure. Tony was attracted to the CYCSA because of the wonderful reputation, amenities and new friendship opportunities to be found amongst other people with similar boating interests and experience. Tony and Antonette, both hairdressers and founding directors of the ZINK hairdressing organisation, have recently set up two specialised businesses. SalonEDGES specialises in exclusive high quality scissors for hairdressers and barbers and Wig-it Wigs is a specialised wig business and service for women who suffer hair loss due to the effects of cancer treatment. Living On The Edge will provide the opportunity for them to get a great deal of enjoyment on the water with their family and friends, ensuring they enjoy quality leisure time when they can. We welcome them to the Club and wish them all the best in their endeavours. Dianne Schwerdt

SHINING SEA Andrew Corletto’s new boat, Shining Sea, a Botin and Carkeek GP 42, was built by King Marine in Argentina. The boat was originally launched in 2007 in Spain as Iberdrola to compete in the GP 42 circuit in the Mediterranean. The GP 42 circuit was seen as a feeder circuit to the TP 52 circuit with a number of Americas Cup teams participating in the GP 42 series as a way of keeping their crew squads busy and sailing. The boat was then converted for IRC racing. Andrew acquired the boat from Cape Town in South Africa where it had been competing in local IRC racing including the Cape Town to Rio race. Andrew sailed 470s and 505s in his twenties. He returned to Adelaide after living and working interstate for a few years and joined the CYCSA in 2000 as a result of sailing on the clubsponsored J24s and participating in a number of twilight races. His introduction to keel boats came through this association with the Club’s fleet of J24s. After a few seasons he moved to larger keel boats including spending a racing season with David Urry on the Farr 40, War Games. He then bought his first yacht, a Van der Stadt 31. Later he progressed through a few keel boats including a Sydney 38 and a Beneteau First 45. His plans for the new Shining Sea include local IRC racing as well as some interstate regattas such the Australian IRC Championships, Geelong Week, and Lincoln Race and Regatta. With previous Shining Seas, Andrew and his crew have previously won numerous titles including Yacht of the Year, State IRC and AMS Championships and the Club Inshore Championship. We’ll be keen to follow his continuing success.
