What a busy few months it has been at SYC, our Dux Birthday Celebrations, Charity Golf Day, Mothers Day, Monthly Members Birthday Celebrations AND our amazing Members Day with the Eurogliders were all full houses!

The last quarter has also seen some new faces around the Club. Julie Garmonsway is our brand new Membership Coordinator, Lauren is our new full-time first impression on reception, and for those who I’ve not had the chance to meet, myself - Virginia, I’ve taken over the Marketing Managers role.

Whilst the last 3 months has been a bit of a whirl wind, the next 3 months don’t look to be slowing down either.

The main clubhouse will see the Eastern lawn have a major make-over, adding some more cover and extending the decking , and the Kitchen some much needed re-vamping, to service the ever growing members and guests.

I’m very excited to be witness to the upcoming Sydney to Gold Coast Yacht Race in July and the Sail Past in September!

Until then, stay warm and make sure you pop in and say hello!

CLUB REPORTS CLUB REPORTS

COMMODORE’S REPORT Ray McMahon

Its incredible how fast the years go by, its 12 months since I last wrote about what an incredible job the SYC do to assist our friends at the RSL with the Anzac Day services.

Again this year the SYC supplied a ‘raft up’ of boats just off the beach of the Southport Cenotaph to create an incredible atmosphere for the Anzac Day services. Organised by Vice Commodore Power, Ken Tregeagle, several of our members gave up their time and their vessels to light flares pre dawn.

With recored gunfire coming across the speakers and the flares just off the shoreline it was a tingling experience.

Congratulations to Ken and all of the members who were involved in honouring those that gave their lives for our way of life.

Lest we forget.

Your Club has some big plans in the wings. With the Broadwater Master Plan now complete the SYC play a good role in the future of the Gold Coast shoreline. Our Eastern extensions are looking more like a reality every day and now there is a proposal to do some big things on the Western side of the Main Beach venue. We are locked in talks with local and state governments to get the ball rolling. Watch this space, over the next few years our secured footprint will be something for all members to be proud of.

By the time you receive this issue of inSYnC the 2019 SYC elections will be into full swing. I really encourage all Gold members to vote. Its YOUR Club, please have a say by voting for the candidates you believe will do the best job for our Club.

On the international sailing scene the places in the Australian Olympic team for the 2020 Olympics in Japan are starting to hot up. Our Olympic Gold medalist Mat Belcher is leading the charge and working extremely hard overseas to ensure he’s one of the first names read out when the team is announced. Those that are yet to make an Olympic team, well, they have to work twice as hard to make a name for themselves on the international scene and none work harder than our own Joel Turner. Joel is really tapping on the door of the Australian Olympic team and we really want to encourage him to keep working hard and achieve that dream.

Our ‘pocket rocket’ Blake Wilson will be competing in Germany in the 420 category over our Winter. I will have to stop calling him the pocket rocket soon, at 15, he’s almost as tall as me!!!!

Our sailing competitor numbers are going well, our fleet sizes are strong and this will no doubt make each and every sailor try a little harder to achieve success in their respective divisions. Our powerboat ‘cruisers’ are also enjoying good sized fleets. With plenty of events, their numbers seem to keep growing. It would be great to see some of our powerboats joining our logging fleet. Logging is a form of navigation event that along the way teaches you better navigating skills and therefore makes you a better/ safer person on the water. If you’ve got a powerboat and would like to learn some new skills, please get involved with the loggers.

On the land, the SYC Social Golf club is showing good numbers every month. Congratulations to Terry and his team for supplying good golf courses for their monthly round.

Dux birthday was again a sensational event. The weather was incredible and the entertainment amazing. The beautiful 2 acre property has never looked better. Our caretakers Bryan and Donna have been working tirelessly to present a beautiful property for you all to enjoy.

The SYC financial year has just ended and again its been a very successful year. Lots of money has been invested into ensuring our 4 venues are not only well maintained, but improved upon, plus, adding to that we’ve also put good money away for future developments and plans. A huge congratulations to our management team for another successful financial year.

Over the next 12 months its important that we continue to grow as we secure our future for many years to come.

Its great to be an SYC member.

I’ll see you around the Club.

Ray McMahon Commodore

CLUB REPORTS CHAIRMAN’S REPORT Scott Siganto

With the release of The Spit Master Plan the Club coming soon, we will then be able to push forward with various plans to increase the Club’s footprint, and revenue, through building infrastructure to accommodate and attract boutique cruise ships, and Super Yachts, to our region. With the America’s Cup in New Zealand, and the Olympic Games in Japan both in 2020, we are in the perfect location to attract these vessels travelling through the southern hemisphere. The Gold Coast has no other berthing available to host a vessel of this size, and we aim to be the marina of choice considering all we have to offer in this unique, and beautiful part of the world.

We have seen a busy few months, with our Members Day showcasing Eurogliders, both the Sailing and Power Boat Presentation Dinners, the always stunning Anzac Day raft up in support of Southport RSL commemorations. Amongst all this the Team have managed to work around some big

changes to the Main Beach Clubhouse with renovations and upgrades to the kitchen, along with our Eastern Lawn and the children’s playground gaining a much needed sun shade.

The Club’s AGM is coming up 22nd July, all Gold and equivalent members are welcome to attend, it’s always encouraging to see so many of our passionate members present, bringing with them ideas and suggestions for the Board and Management.

I’d like to take this opportunity to thank all our dedicated Volunteers for their hard work over the year, and with the Sydney Gold Coast Yacht Race coming up, along with all our day to day events. Supporting the Club, Management and our wonderfully hardworking staff, your assistance is greatly appreciated.

CLUB REPORTS ASSISTANT GENERAL MANAGER’S REPORT Katie Lister It gives me great pleasure to be writing this quarter’s newsletter as Brett is catching up with some well-earned leave.

What a busy few months it has been, and how time flies – never a dull day here at SYC. From many Members events to being awarded 2 awards at the Annual Club’s Qld dinner, it has been a full few months Pontoon Lunch This year’s Pontoon Club celebration was a huge success, and it was an honor to be part of such an important occasion. This year was the 37th anniversary, holding a luncheon this year, instead of a dinner, which was immensely enjoyed by all who attended. Chef did his magic in the kitchen, and we had clean plates around.

Recent Sailing Events - The Ladies Race was held on Sunday 14th April SYC. This was the 29th anniversary of the Telemachus Ladies Day race held at Hollywell. Traditionally this is a muchanticipated race amongst our female sailors, with special handcrafted pieces of jewellery created just for the event. This year we witnessed another great turnout with sixteen boats competing for the perpetual trophy and some the beautiful handmade jewellery donated by Telman.

- The Twilight Series proved to be as popular as ever and this year was sponsored by Document Solutions. I have had the pleasure of attending a couple of the twilight races over the past few months and saw at first hand what a fun and energized series this is. If you haven’t already participated, then please see Vice Commodore of Sail and make arrangements to try it out. I can personally recommend it!

Oxenford Watersports Centre Our most recent venue at Oxenford is growing from strength to strength, with events taking place both on and off the water. Matt has been hard at work building up relationships with local schools, community groups and the Council. If you haven’t already, please pop out to see Matt the Oxenford Watersports Centre.

Main Beach Clubhouse Over the next few months you might see a quite a bit of activity out on the Eastern Lawn, as well as by the play area. I am excited to be able to inform you that we are extending the deck and roof and adding a new bar area.

We are also putting a cover over the children’s play area to provide much needed shade for our younger patrons.

With our membership growing, this area will become a great space for kicking back and relaxing while enjoying a drink or two 6 | iN SYnC | Southport Yacht Club

Anzac Day I was lucky enough to be invited to attend the Dawn Service on Anzac Day this year with Vice Commodore of Power. What a memorable morning to be part of Southport Yacht Club’s Marine Guard of Honour. This was the 6th year and proved to be a spectacular visual way of remembering the landing at Anzac Cove on Sunday, 25 April 1915 when the first major military action was fought by Australian and New Zealand forces in the First World War. Change to our Birthday Celebration Super exciting news we are upgrading things up with our monthly birthday draw. The birthday vouchers have changed a little, you will still go in the draw to win the $250 if you attend our birthday draw in your birthday month, however we have launched a new dining experience for those who share their birthdays each month. Those members whose birthday falls within the month will be able to attend our Mega Birthday Draw, this event is free of charge for the birthday participant, and your guests can dine for a small fee. Included in the price you will be able to enjoy a delicious 3 course meal, with a specially planned menu created by our Head Chef, as well as lucky door prizes and other exciting treats. I look forward to seeing you all their when your birthday comes around.

The annual Members Celebration day along with Mother’s Day was a massive weekend for all – I hope your all enjoyed it as much as we did. As you can image, we have a packed couple of months ahead, this would not be possible if it wasn’t for our hard-working team here at SYC. I am so proud to be a part this amazing Family. I’d like to thanks all our volunteers who support us weekly with it being at Sailing and Power events, raising funds for our Associates committee, we couldn’t do it without you, and finally thank you to you – our loyal members – we wouldn’t be where we are today without your continuous support.

Katie Lister Assistant General Manager

VICE COMMODORE SAIL Drew Jones Dear Members As the days get shorter, and the nights longer, the summer sailing season comes to an end, we have enjoyed marvellous weather for the majority of our sailing events with all fleets going from strength to strength.

With all fleets now aligned, May will see the start of the new sailing season for all divisions. This has been a huge effort by the sailing team at Hollywell and the divisional representatives, to prepare the new sailing calendar in time for this start. Congratulations and many thanks for the many long hours these hardworking sailing team members contribute to our successful sailing at SYC. We now oversee over 400 races across our 6 fleets.

With the conclusion of our summer series we have many winners and my congratulations go out to all these skippers and their crews. But it goes without saying that there can’t be winners without other competitors and thanks to all the others skippers and their crews who turn up to race every time. These larger fleets have experienced tight competitive racing across our divisions with many close results. The post race camaraderie enjoyed by our sailors at both Hollywell and Main Beach is fantastic to see. The offshore and twilight racing has been very close sometimes with only a few minutes separating the top placings.

Also a great thank you to all our sponsors who provide prizes for our racing. Not the main reason we race, but a nice incentive and icing on the cake at the end of a hard day’s racing.

The lady skipper’s race again was sponsored by our great supporter Telemachus Jewellers. This was his 28 th year of sponsorship for our Club. It is much appreciated by all our sailing members.

As well as our Club racing we have had many Club sailors travelling to regattas in Australia and overseas, to compete under the flag of SYC. This is very satisfying seeing both our junior and senior sailors reaching such a high standard and vindicates all our efforts in fostering coaching and training, especially in our junior ranks.

Flying the flag as always is Mat Belcher and Will Ryan as they race in regattas around the World in preparation for their tilt at 2020 Olympics in Japan. Joel Turner and his new partner Tom Needham are also members of the Australian Sailing team and trying for a spot at the next Olympics.

At the 2018/19 NSW Nacra State titles Rob Wibaux and Brett Kelly finished a very commendable 3rd overall.

At the Australian Youth Nationals in Tasmania, Blake Wilson and Lachlan Wheatley finished in 15th place overall in the 420 class. Also Sam Maryland was 26th in the Laser 4.7 , Melanie Watson 31st in Laser and Dylan Lynch 34th in Laser Radial. It takes a great effort by these competitors and parents and support teams to compete at these regattas. Well done !

At 5th National Titles for the Open Bic class we had some great results in the gold fleet. Jonah Parry was 2nd, Lachlan O’Gorman 4th, and Ariel Ding 7th. Ariel was also 1st female in U16 and 5th in U16 overall.

Graham Sherring and his crew on Retuned had a great 3rd result, at the Australian Sport Boat Championships held at the recent Sail Port Stephens Regatta.

It is pleasing to see all these sailors from our Club representing SYC at such an elite level.

All of our racing is dependent on our volunteers and we thank them. Without them our racing would be severely limited. I would also encourage more of our skippers, crews and friends to become actively involved in volunteering when they can. I am sure you will find it rewarding to watch other fleets than your own racing and it’s a great way to meet other members with the same interests.

With the closing of the sailing season all fleets are now looking forward to their respective presentation events where the winners are deservedly rewarded for their efforts throughout the year I encourage all of our junior and senior sailors to attend these presentations to acknowledge and support the great efforts of their competitors during this year. So put on your glad rags and let’s celebrate a successful sailing year.

I look forward to another even better year of sailing and I am proud to be involved with SYC. See you on the water.

Drew Jones Vice Commodore Sail

A big fleet of our sailors had a fun but very wet weekend down at the Big River Regatta at Harwood recently with some very commendable results with Chris Holdt, Ben Lowrey and Larry Dean 1st in their divisions,Emma Hutchison and Shane Smith and Melanie Watson achieving 2nd in their divisions. Kelvin Holdt came 3rd, David Vincent 4th, Steven Humphris 6th, and Damien Widdy a creditable 7th. Well done to all participants.

CLUB REPORTS SAILING OPERATIONS MANAGER Simon Turpin

Welcome to our Winter edition of iN SYnC. With these Winter months upon us, most of our Sailing Divisions have started their Winter Series for our new 2019/2020 Sailing Season. I would like to thank you all for your patience and understanding this year with the official change of calendar dates for our Sailing Season. As you are aware, our new Sailing Calendar now starts in line with our Membership months, being May to April each year.

The 2018 / 2019 Sailing Season has been an amazing season for us at SYC. Our on water club participation numbers throughout our normal Club Racing series alone has seen an increase of over 15% to last Season!

To put this into perspective, an average of more than 175 people participated across our 6 Divisions each week.

Add to this, our SYC Special Events, Sailing Academy and Corporate Sailing numbers which brings this average up to more then 320 people each week experiencing our wonderful sport of sailing at Southport Yacht Club each week – what an amazing result.

In the coming weeks, we are looking forward to celebrating all of your achievements with our Sailing Presentation evenings scheduled to be hosted at Main Beach and Hollywell in June. However please accept my sincere apologies, as this will be the first time I will not be attending these as I will be away on previously scheduled annual leave. Congratulations to all of our Series winners and Club Champions.

Our Divisional Sailing meetings will also then take place for each of our six Divisions where new 2019 / 2020 Sailing Committee will then be formed accordingly.

From August 2nd to 4th we will be hosting the 2019 Australian Para Sailing Championships which we will be conducted from Hollywell and then on the 17th & 18th August, we also have scheduled the 2019 International OK Dinghy Queensland Championships in our Offshore waters.

I would like to thank all of our Sailing Committee Members for their tireless work and passionate efforts throughout our 2018 / 2019 Sailing Season, it has been a privilege working with each of you and you have all represented your Divisions admirably.

Finally, thank you all for yet another wonderful season at Southport Yacht Club with your continued support and magnificent assistance. It’s an absolute privilege to be a part of our SYC Family and my team in the Sailing Office look forward to working with you throughout our new 2019 / 2020 Sailing Season.

Simon Turpin Sailing Operations Manager

SYC VOLUNTEERING Many thanks to all the Volunteers over the past few months for the variety of duties your Club has asked to assist with, like the Golf Day, & Dux Birthday, and our mid-week Twilight events and weekend support boat volunteers, well done keep up the good work you are all appreciated.

We are currently working through the 51 Volunteers whom we have listed for “Special Events Group” eg. Sydney to Gold Coast, Pittwater to Southport, & Special Events, etc. you will receive an email over the next few weeks requesting to confirm or update your contact details & availability for either or all..

Volunteering is rewarding the attached article from Noel Gatland & John Rutherford. Race Officer & Support boat skipper in the Document Solutions Twilight Series.

“All yachts – All yachts – All yachts: Race Control - Race Control - Race Control” Neither Noel nor I thought bobbing around on “Race Control” would be interesting after our combined 80+ years of yacht racing but I now realise I should have manned the start boat occasionally during that time!

It is interesting, educational and entertaining to be “on the other side”, especially in the perfect sunset conditions of the Document Solutions Thursday Twilight Series on the Gold Coast.

all combine with stink boat handling, anchoring, currents, dolphins and sunsets. We see new things every week as we itch to alter trim to gain a boat length or three which often is the difference at the end of the twilight “stern chaser”.

So many little differences in each boat or in each mark rounding are visible from our roving position on the race course.

SYC yachts would benefit from coming with us just once per year to add to their overall sailing knowledge and experience, learning by watching the rest of your crew from an outside perspective.

We have a great group of volunteers in all sorts of volunteering roles but I hadn’t realised the benefits to my sailing that I had failed to capitalise on.

Good fun, good for the Club, good for sailing and the team you sail with!

John and Noel Phil Short Volunteer Co-ordinator

Big boat sailing often involves focus and concentration solely on your tasks, your position on the boat as part of a team. Sightseeing and a bigger view of the race is constantly interrupted with “Ready About”! This is the first time that I have seen the big picture, tactics, currents, sails set well [or not!], precision starts [or not!], fast mark roundings [or not!] and close handicap finishes. The procedures for course selection, starts, finishes, shortened courses, radio and so on

SYC - CHARITY GOLF DAY Charity Golf Day in March Raises $11,000 The incredible success of the Southport Yacht Club Annual Charity Golf Day, recently held at Emerald Lakes Golf Course, raised over $11,000 for Youth Sailing.

The event saw the highest number of attendees in its 4-year history, with 33 teams and 132 players contributing to the fundraiser. An extremely entertaining day was had by all and the proceeds of this event will assist the youth program by allowing the purchase of things such as life-jackets, sailing dinghies, sails, safety equipment, boat parts and maintenance, fuel and running costs.

We would like to thank everyone who attended, those who made generous donations, and everyone who gave up their time to ensure the smooth running of the event.

Having had such a great day, along with lots of positive feedback, plans are already in motion for next year’s Charity Golf Day, all locked in for th 20th March 2020!

POWER BOATS

@ SOUTHPORT YACHT CLUB - VICE COMMODORE POWER

Ken Tregeagle VICE COMMODORE POWER Hello all, Well winter is almost upon us again and I must say that I like boating more in the cooler months than in summer.

Our season is progressing well with the cruisers having enjoyed more memorable gatherings at Millionares row as well as The Easter cruise and the May Cruise. Look out for the The End of Season review.

Sadly the Chaos Cup had to be cancelled due to unforeseen circumstances hopefully we will have better luck next season.

Our Club’s Navigation Championship competition is continuing well with the Round Crab Island Open Raw Score being won by Todd and Phill Brooker in M I A with Justin and Mathew Sinnamon coming second, and Paul Mathews and Ron Wheeler taking third. The handicap winner was Noelene Tregeagle and crew with Graham Webb and Tony O’Keefe second and Allan Mercer’s team on Liberty (Alley Cat) in third place .

The next event was the Buck Jones Memorial with the raw score taken by you guessed it !!!!! The Brookers in MIA and second spot won by Graham and Tony in Island Clipper third was awarded to Paul and Ron in Martini.

The Handicap win was awarded to Steve Manchester and PC Phill Short in Bell Tempo, and second was carried

by Justin and Mat in Safari with myself and Noelene in Babe ll filling third. It’s lucky I wasn’t scored on my ‘Anchoring’ results. With only two events left in this year the Commodore’s Trophy in Moreton Bay and the Associates SYC Open in June to complete the season.

The results are close so good luck to everyone.

The Power Boat Presentation night will be on the 29/6/19 and is open to all power boaters so come and join us we are always looking for members to enjoy our sport and camaraderie.

The Anzac Day Honour Guard was once again a moving experience for all of our members who participated and the support given by the Coast Guard, Volunteer Marine Rescue and the Queensland water Police whose contribution enhanced the much deserved respect for those who paid the ultimate price to protect the life and freedoms we all enjoy. ‘lest we forget’

With the Spit Master Plan coming to a conclusion your Boards Strategic plans for the future of our Club are coming closer to reality.

The Annual General Meeting will be held on Monday 22nd July . This is your Club and it is your right to let us know what you want . We may not be able to satisfy all the requests but we will certainly try.

I hope to see you out on the water .

CRUISING AT SYC Hello Members,

Easter Cruise

Since the last edition of iN SYnC magazine we have had four scheduled cruises:

Wind and rain appears to be following the cruisers around this year however this did not stop 12 vessels and 24 people from meeting up at Paradise Point anchorage and proceeding to lunch at Manos Restaurant and Bar where we were very well fed and watered.

Australia Day Cruise Fifteen vessels and thirty people registered for the extended long weekend cruise as the tides were perfect for entering and leaving Days Gutter at the southern end of Moreton Island.

We met up at Canaipa Pt for sundowners and bar b q before proceeding at 630 hours in beautiful conditions up the west coast of North Stradbroke and into Days Gutter via the Rous Channel. Lunch and drinks enjoyed by all at the Gutter Bar. After three calm nights in Days Gutter with drinks aboard Cavalino and Idle Time, we proceeded south again to Dux. Australia Day saw us ashore with sponsored drinks and a trivia session run by Dr Bob and Laurel which created plenty of hilarity. The following morning included breakfast and a treasure hunt before departing for home.

The February cruise had to be cancelled due to inclement weather courtesy of Oma, which was unfortunate as we had five new cruising vessels registered.

March Cruise.

The March weekend cruise was scheduled for Millionaires Row however again weather intervened and we redirected to Dux. Nine vessels and nineteen people had two enjoyable evenings ashore hiding from driving rain.

POWER BOAT WHAT’S ON CRUISING EVENTS: Mooloolaba Cruise - June 6th - 12th June

The next morning we travelled in convoy to the Kangaroo Island / 5 Ways anchorage where we were sheltered from the at times gusty SE wind.

Many thanks to Eddie and Candice for hosting us aboard Sovereign Lady as there is no beach there.

The following day saw us travelling to Koureyabba anchorage in the Canaipa Passage. Again we were sheltered from the wind but not the rain. Attempted drinks ashore but we were summoned aboard Sovereign Lady which led to an hilarious night of stories and lies.

Due to squals and wind it was decided to satay an extra night at Koureyabba and the hardy souls of the SYC Cruising Flotilla braved the threatening rain to have sundowners on the beach and welcome the Easter Bunny.

Needless to say we all got drenched but no-one can call us soft !!!!

Sunday morning dawned bright and sunny so the flotilla proceeded to Dux for Bar b q and drinks ashore.

A memorable cruise for the hardy participants.

There is no cruise scheduled for May but there will be for June, possibly to Mooloolaba. July 13th sees our end of year review. Details to follow in SYC E-news shortly.Happy and safe boating, Lloyd Abbot Cruising Committee

BURGEE PROTOCOL SYC Burgee & Protocol In recent times many vessels have ceased flying their Club’s burgee.

Every vessel should, where possible show their affiliation and loyalty. One might even construe that it is an affront to the Club to not fly its burgee.

“Flag etiquette is a combination of Yachting Flag Lore, good manners and tradition”.

Southport Yacht Clubs Rules and By-Laws page 37 chapter 16 of the By-Laws “Flag Etiquette” lists procedure’s for displaying of the club’s burgee.

Novelty flags - Guest, owner absent, meal, cocktail and novelty flags should be flown sparingly from the port hoist.

Care & Maintenance of flags, should your burgee look in a state of dis-repair replacement burgees are available from reception at a cost of $40:00 small or $50:00 large, many members have had their burgee since registering their vessel with the Club and display it only when the vessel is away from the Club marina.

The Southport Yacht Club burgee is a distinguishing flag regardless of its shape, of our recreational boating organisation.

Note: Any member who have yet not put their boat on the Clubs vessel register, and you wish to do so, just complete a vessel register form. Upon registering you will be issued with a club vessel registration number and a FREE small burgee. Forms are available at Reception, or on the website.

SYC GOLF CLUB The clubs golf group has enjoyed a first quarter of strong support at all games played this year.

Our first game was at Surfers Paradise with the winner, Peter Whitehead nudging out a number of players in a tight contest to win by a nose on count back.

Next was the annual Ambrose event held at Arundel Hills. The winning team won convincingly with a net score of 56. Team members, Terry Stephenson, Barry Peachey, Penny Hepher and Fay Howard were overjoyed with their achievement. It was a lovely day and we had a larger than normal field of twenty eight.

One of our new members John Magner, achieved the unbelievable on the 5th. A “hole in one”. The roar could be heard in Coolangatta ! He was presented with his trophy at the next game. This is the first recorded hole in one at the SYC. Our next game at Sanctuary Cove was yet another big turnout of twenty eight. Winner was visitor, Keith Greenwood, who parred every hole bar one.

Our game at Ocean Shores on May 13th was won by SYC House Manager Glenn Stevenson.

It was a cool sunny day with a few clouds scattered around. The course proved a challenge for most, but not our Glenn. His game was a little “shabby” at the start, but as he settled in and gained confidence, things improved greatly and he won by one shot from Lesley Richards.

WHEN THINGS DON’T GO TO PLAN

by Mathew Belcher - OAM #Aus11 We have just completed our first trip over in Europe where we finished 5th in the Princess Sofia Regatta and 10th in the World Cup event in Genova, our worst results in almost a decade. These events marked the start of our European season building towards the World Championships and pre-Olympic event in Japan later in the year. It is fair to say that this was not the start we had hoped for.

The months prior we had really enjoyed the training at SYC and being home. However, coming into Europe we struggled to find the right balance in rhythm and performance. It probably all started from an ‘accident’ we had on our last training day on the Gold Coast. We were coming back into the Gold Coast seaway after a three hour training session. As we were coming back into the entrance in large swell and around 15kts of wind, we were struck by a large breaking wave at the entrance to the seaway. Even with almost 20 years experience of training on the Gold Coast the seaway can surprise you many times, as most of you know. Unfortunately, the wave picked us up and launched us. The boat was severely damaged with every piece of our equipment broken in the process. It also put us in a dangerous situation close to the rock walls where we needed to abandoned our equipment to swim to safety. Will and I were trapped for about 20 minutes with our equipment as the waves rolled us around. Our coach, Victor, attempted to rescue us but the waves proved too challenging and the motorboat capsized as well. Maritime Safety and the Water Police were on the way, but could not get to us due to the swell. In the end it was Kunio (the coach of our Japanese training partners, many of you have probably seen him around the Club) who braved the conditions and managed to pick us all out of the water to bring us to safety. Myself and one of the Japanese sailors were transported to the seaway tower before being off-loaded to the ambulance.

I had to spend the night in hospital to rule out any spinal injuries they suspected I might have suffered when being hit by the 470 in the rolling waves.

Due to the swell, the decision was made in conjunction with the Maritime Safety and the Water Police that rescuing our 470 was too dangerous and it was anchored off-shore overnight with jet skis. As you can imagine our equipment isn’t really designed to be left in swell overnight. Over the past two months we are still working through some of this, recovering from injuries and piecing together our equipment again.

I wanted to mention this, as it is a good example of some of the obstacles we face in our campaign environment.

It was something you don’t expect to happen but the experience was invaluable for our team and provided another opportunity to come together and learn from this.

It certainly still affected us during our first two European regattas. We have had a very brief break with only a week back home to recollect ourselves, before heading straight back to Europe for our next event, the Europeans in San Remo. However, we are now feeling more confident than the earlier events and are looking forward to putting 24 | iN SYnC | Southport Yacht Club

down a solid performance.

The support of the Club and members has been overwhelming. It has not been the European start we had hoped for but this is part of the business of sport and makes it interesting. Will and I are working hard to come back to our usual level of performance. We continue to push forward each day towards Tokyo2020.

After competing at the Europeans in San Remo I will come home for a couple of weeks and look forward to re-joining the SYC Performance Program.

Until the next update, and thank you again for all the support.

CLUB RACING AT SYC Firstly, I would like to thank all our skippers and crew who sailed in this 2018/19 Sailing Season. What a great, although short, season we had! As you all know the new season has commenced and we appreciate those who have taken on board the new changes and dates for the 2019/20 Sailing Season.

The calendar has been a tricky one to get right, and we have worked tirelessly in the sailing office in finding extra racing across all divisions and taking on board suggestions made by our skippers. With these extra races over the sailing season we require the extra helping hands on race day to help with the support boat crew, laying marks and general race day duties. If you’re interested in helping our yacht club succeed and want the additional races to go forth, please give the sailing office a call to express your interest. We also have the Sydney to Gold Coast yacht race coming up at the end of July. We require support boat skippers, crew and radio room personal for this prestigious event. The hours can be long, late and exhausting but we all end up having a great time and are thankful for the experience that we have gone through in making this regatta continually succeed.

I also wanted to take this opportunity to thank our handicap committee for the past and present seasons handicaps. It is not an easy task handicapping boats, with the added pressure from skippers in getting these handicaps right, they do a great job. If you could please take the time to thank Ian Ball, Chris Noyes and Brendan Mann for their efforts when you run into them next that would be much appreciated.

I again wanted to take this opportunity to reiterate and re-enforce all our skippers to use the RaceQs software.

We have been using this amazing app for all our Special Events, Inshore Division, Offshore Division and Thursday Twilight race tracking. It allows skippers, friends and family to either stream live or replay the regatta. I do also recommend this as a fantastic coaching tool. It gives sailors a great insight into the decisions made out on the water and see whose tactics worked and who is sailing the better race. It’s not just good for experienced sailors but also for Junior Sailors. During practice, the junior sailors record their races using RaceQs. After uploading their data, they can easily connect a computer to the TV and watch their races together. RaceQs makes it easy to show the sailors what they did right, and where they can improve. The sailing office will happily help with any questions you have regarding RaceQs. Just a quick message to all our SYC Hollywell Bailment holders. If you could please send through any outstanding completed bailment agreement form/s and updated insurance documents when they expire that would be much appreciated. Please send this through to me at sailing.admin@southportyachtclub.com.au or hand a hard copy into the sailing office.

CAPTAINS LUNCH Fourty of the local and international professional Superyacht Captains, clients with local dignatries such as David Good (CEO Superyacht Australia), Steve FIsher (Director of International Business Paul Archer (CEO Arrow Services Monarco) joined Rivergate Marina & Shipyard and Southport Yacht Club for the annual Captains Lunch on May 15th.

A rare opportunity for the Captains to get together to discuss any issues, share information and insights and no doubt a great moment to mix business with pleasure.

SYC PERFORMANCE TEAM It has now been over 2 years since SYC re-shaped our youth development program and it is looking like 2019 is shaping up to be our best year yet. Coming off an exciting summer season for our sailors we were keen to get back into the swing of things. Lead by multiple Olympic medalist Mathew Belcher, the coaching team went into the new season with the main objective to find more time on water for the sailors and to add more structure to each training session. It is clear now that as we enter the winter season the new structure has seen a dramatic shift to each and every sailor.

Each week the sailors are met with a new article which contains the focus for the week, for example “Fighting for your position on the line”, they are expected to read through the contents of the article so that when they show up for the Thursday afternoon session they can try out new tactics, strategies or manoeuvres the article may have gone over. The coaches are ensuring that each week the on-water training drills meet the topic for the week so that sailors can apply what they have learnt.

The program has also seen a continuing trend in sailors achieving high results in and out of state. Just recently young gun Angus Sherring placed 2nd overall in the flying 11 state championships missing out on first by a very small margin. We have also seen 4 SYC local boys take out the top two spots in the Queensland Pacer State Championships with Blake Wilson partnered with Harry Hogan and Angus Wheatley partnered with Andrew Douyere placing 1st and 2nd respectively.

26 | iN SYnC | Southport Yacht Club

In the older age groups Melanie Watson, Sam Martland and Leigh Lomas represented the SYC performance program placing 10th, 11th and 16th respectively out of a 44 boat fleet. Not only that but the radial fleet in which they competed saw some of Australia’s top sailors competing. Also over the break SYC saw a large percentage of our junior skiff sailors traveling up north to compete in the now O’Pen Skiff Class National Championships. Congratulations to Lachlan O’Gorman, Jonah Parry and Ariel Ding who all competed.

In the months to come the Performance Team is narrowing in on the summer season where we will start to shift our focus more and more onto racing and tactics. We are going to be pushing hard through the winter to getting closer and closer to our competition.

Good luck to all sailors competing in and around the Hollywell program.

Article by George Morton

THURSDAY TWILIGHT SAILING Our Thursday Twilight racing is entering its 12th season and its never looked better.

We are consistently getting close to 20 boats on the water every Thursday doing what most people must refer to as “being very lucky”.

Yes we are very lucky to enjoy the magnificent Gold Coast weather every Thursday afternoon as we race our boats up and down the Broadwater. The comraderie amongst most of the boats is sensational and its great to give your friends a wave as they pass you (maybe only half a wave if they’re passing you and taking your position in the race) :) The 2018/19 season has concluded and the Thursday Twilight champion for the year is none other than Russell Birse sailing his magnificent yacht Xvitesse.

He, along with his crew, are consistent winners over many years and are always hard to beat. Russell has been doing Thursday Twilights almost since its inception 11 years ago so its great to see the championship go to someone that has supported the

series for a long time.

We’re now into the winter months and that means the occasional jacket comes out for warmth, fortunately not too often. So far this series it’s the smaller boats that have been showing the way with a few new entries joining our fleet and having good success. I’m sure the larger boats will certainly have their day as the weather and tide conditions are different every week.

The great thing about Twilights is that its very safe.

We mostly race in the Broadwater which means its a great way to get introduced to yacht racing in a slightly more relaxed atmosphere than the serious weekend offshore races.

So, if you’re up for it.......contact me, and lets get you onto a boat.

See you on the water.

Cheers, Ray

OFFSHORE SAILING The offshore fleet are looking forward to the new season that’s upon us with an expanded and exciting offshore calendar ahead. First up was the annual Mooloolaba Marathon on 3rd -5th May with the fleet encountering the most challenging event in the 4 years to date that we have been running this 2-leg 168nm return offshore passage race.

With a 5pm Friday start, the fleet encountered light head winds in leg 1 to Mooloolaba and took 20-23 hours to complete the 84nm leg, including 2 yachts from the fleet of 6 retiring. The return trip saw increased winds that had shifted to the SE to provide head winds all the way home as well. Rod West’s Another Painkiller took out the line and handicap honours double on both the leg north and the return leg south, edging out a highly competitive Blunderbuss, led by Danielle Hutcheson with Glenn Burrell’s Wildflower2 retiring after Leg 1 with mainsail damage, but still finishing 3rd overall. It truly was a marathon effort with only 2 of the original 7 entries completing both legs of the race.

In a coup for the Southport Yacht Club, we have secured the hosting rights as the finishing club for the 1,400nm Category One, Solo Tasman Yacht Challenge for the next edition of this 4-yearly event in 2022. This shift of the finishing club from Mooloolaba to Southport is the first time since the race started in 1970, that it won’t finish at Mooloolaba. The Solo Tasman Yacht Race is the second oldest solo yacht race in the world and I have to acknowledge the great support behind the scenes by Ray McMahon, Drew Jones and Simon Turpin in helping pitch and secure this opportunity.

I am really proud of the fact that SYC will now host the finish of one of the most challenging category one ocean races in the Southern Hemisphere. Look out for more on this as we look to increase the number of SYC entrants in the 2022 edition of the race (marking the 50-year anniversary).

On a personal note I competed in the 2018 edition of the race, representing SYC with Ocean Gem. It’s a fantastic personal, mental and physical challenge and I am excited at the prospect that we can grow the fleet for the next race from 6 in 2018 to closer to 20 in 2022. While the race can be sailed safely with thorough training and preparation, that fact that Ocean Gem was the only one of five yachts that initially left Australia in the same week in March 2018 to cross The Tasman Sea for the qualifying trip, that actually completed the crossing and made it to the April start line for the race back. The other 4 yachts all turned back after suffering damage to rigs, rudders and electronics, reinforcing that just getting to the start line can be a bigger challenge that the race itself.

WATERSPORTS CENTRE With the Gold Coast’s perfect weather conditions during winter our Oxenford Watersports Centre is looking busy.

We have recently launched a program for Girl Guides and Scout groups this is proving to be popular, it is great that we are able to upskill the local scouts so they can gain their sailing badge, a truly valuable life skill.

A reminder to all members to bring your members card when your next out at Oxenford, you receive the same great discounts that you get at our other locations. The café is the perfect spot to sit while you push the kids or grandkids out on the water with our instructors this winter, we have plenty of spots available in our courses for both adults and kids. Head to our website for more details on our courses and upcoming dates. If you are not the tech savvy type I encourage you to call me on my mobile 0499 181 707 to have a chat about what is on offer.

We have some exciting news about our School Holiday Camps for the June/July school holidays. We are designing a camp that is specifically for winter, there will be some exciting new activities. Keep posted on our E news for when the program drops. Warning extreme amounts of fun to be had!

FYI to all you adults thinking about forging your age to join the camp it is unlikely to work; we haven’t forgotten about you we have redesigned our Start Dinghy Sailing course which is perfect for teens and adults the course even incorporates a journey sail on the last day, it’s not all fun however! It is up to the participants to plan the journey and get us there safely! If we arrive safely rumour has it there are tasty snacks available for purchase.

There are also a wide variety of other activities that don’t involve sailing at Oxenford, from corporate packages, special events, paddle boarding, yoga and eating in the café (one of my favourite activities!).

MEDIA RELEASE SOLO TASMAN YACHT RACE COMING TO SYC!

BELCHER and RYAN CLAIM 470 EUROPEAN GOLD

After 48 Years the Solo Tasman Yacht Race; from Port Taranaki, New Plymouth, New Zealand to Mooloolaba is now concluding at Southport Yacht Club, Gold Coast, just in time for its 50th year celebrations in 2022.

After a tough few months, Australia’s Mat Belcher and Will Ryan worked their way back the more familiar top of the podium in Sanremo, Italy, at the 470 Open European Championship.

The Solo Tasman Yacht Race; which is run every 4 years is the second oldest singlehanded offshore race in the world, after the trans-Atlantic event, and is the only yacht race of its kind in the Southern Hemisphere.

‘It’s so good to have a Cat 1 Ocean Race finishing at Southport Yacht Club’ says David Hows from Ocean Gem who has competed in recently competed in the 2018 Solo Tasman Yacht Races.

Southport Yacht Club are hoping to build the Australian entry numbers with positive press coverage in the lead up to the 2022 event. Southport Yacht Club encourage Sailors to commit well before the event, ensuring systems and preparation on their vessels are set up to sail solo in comfortable time.

The Solo Tasman Race currently 1280nm Race will become a 1225nm Race to Southport Yacht Club.

With the securing of this Race it has prompting an idea for Southport Yacht Club to launch a Twin Reefs Race, running 2 yearly, 1 year prior to the Solo Tasman Race in 2021; giving Southport Yacht Club an opportunity for a fully crewed division and a short-handed division – a great test run for intending solo entrants for 2022. A 660nm Event that Starts at Southport Yacht Club to Middleton Reef, South to Elizabeth Reef and back to Southport for its conclusion. Ideally becoming Southport Yacht Club’s signature Cat 1 660nm ocean race.

Securing the Solo Tasman Race also opens up the opportunity for Southport Yacht Club to set up a feeder race (solo or 2 handed) for the Australian boats heading to New Plymouth for the race start in 2022.

Southport Yacht Club was chosen as the finishing point for the Solo Tasman Yacht Race, on the advice of New Plymouth Yacht Club (NPYC) because it has easy access/sheltering breakwaters.

An exciting time for the Club and promoting the sport of sailing to our younger generation here on the Gold Coast.

For further information please contact Southport Yacht Club Marketing Manager, Virginia Riddle-Cross via marketing.manager@southportyachtclub.com.au or +61 7 5591 3500.

With pressure on going into the medal race in light winds, the Australians finished second to the Kiwis in the doublepoint single race, giving them a 15 point break to the Swedish team in the open division.

On hitting the dock a grinning Will Ryan said: “I haven’t seen this flag (country flag) for quite a while; it’s nice to get it back.”

Skipper Mat Belcher spoke to Australian Sailing’s high performance director Iain Murray: ‘That’s the satisfying thing, to work in the lighter stuff. It’s been good to put it together; it gives us confidence going into the pressured moments. It’s been a busy and difficult couple of months and it’s nice to start the season this way, and keep working towards next year.”

Coach Victor Kovalenko proudly embraced the winning pair, saying “Welcome back! I think it’s a great comeback to the podium in the right position. A very impressive medal race, they showed their domination in heavy winds but now they did well in light winds. Congratulations and enjoy the winning place!”

Fremantle Sailing Club’s Nia Jerwood and Monique de Vries couldn’t have pushed any harder, an OCS in the medal race ending their chance of bettering ninth overall but encouraged by making it into their first open medal contest.

Two afternoon medal races sailed in perfect Mediterranean condition wrapped up the 470 Europeans organised by local Yacht Club Sanremo and Marina degli Aregai with the cooperation of the national and international 470 class.

Iain Murray concluded: “It’s been a very positive week for the Australian Sailing Team in Sanremo, the women into their first medal race and the men putting on a clinical performance with scores of ones and twos. Now it’s on to Marseille for the World Cup Final then the test event in Tokyo.”

SAILABILITY GOLD COAST Another magical summer at Sailability, operating every Tuesday with great weather and good numbers of both clients and volunteers. Such good weather that we didn’t have to cancel any of our Tuesday’s operations. I’d like to take this opportunity to remind our readers of the scale of Sailability in 2019, every Tuesday at Sailability we take 70 plus people with numerous and diverse disabilities sailing with the help of around 100 active Sailability volunteers. One of our clients, Susan has been coming sailing since 2001 and is the first person to head out for a sail. We recently presented Susan with a Sailability long sleeve shirt as a thank you for her continued support.

In recognising the terrific job done by our volunteers the committee handed out badges to 39 members that have committed to over ten years of service with Sailability volunteering their time and experience to keep us running like clockwork.

As we head into the cooler months of the year, we have lots of exciting events happening from our regular Tuesdays, to our social days for our volunteers and Thursdays continuing to see sailors with disabilities getting out on the water and honing their skills.

We have a growing number of sailors stepping up to the higher levels of racing and continuing to push the limits as to what to can be achieved. Recently our own Brendan Hain, (recent baton holder for the Commonwealth Games) had to the opportunity to sail a SKUD with the help of the QPSA. After solving the issue of Brendan operating the canting seat(by having Jon Simms aboard to do the suck and blow that allows the sailor to tilt to the high side while tacking), he was able to sail with the largest smile I think any of us have seen since he was in the Queen’s baton relay.

Well done to Neil Rowsthorn who competed in the HANSA Nationals being held over Easter in Bunbury WA and placed 5th and sent the pictures below!

ASSOCIATES REPORT Carmel Nicholas President

We are saddened to report the recent passing of one of our loved and respected Past Presidents, Anne Vanderwyk.

Anne was a member of the Club for 33 years and in that time joined the Associates Committee, eventually holding the position of Secretary and then stepping up to Committee President from 1993 to 1995. Thereafter she worked tirelessly for the Committee’s fundraising activities and was responsible for holding specific roles. Anne was very well regarded within the Club and by Committee members and she remained a guiding influence as the Committee evolved over the years, welcoming new members and being a dear friend to many others. Our condolences go to Anne’s family with the hope that this dear lady is now resting in peace after a long and extraordinary life.

We held our first function for the year on Friday 5th April, which was a Fashion Auction Dinner hosted by Amy Stewart of Designer Wear Fashion Parades (DWFP). This is our second Fashion Auction Dinner with DWFP after wonderful feedback of last year’s event. Guests were greeted with a drink on arrival and enjoyed a delicious two course dinner. Amy’s beautiful models paraded on the catwalk and around the room for a closer peep. Very enthusiastic bidding followed each item on show with hilarious competition for the designer sunglasses.

This has proven to be a great event with working women in mind - although all fashion enthusiasts are welcome - to take the opportunity to view some beautiful designer wear, relax and enjoy a fun evening. We presented a very successful raffle with prizes generously contributed by sponsors Mount Warning Tours, Chempro (a new sponsor), Hope Island Medi Spa and the Southport Yacht Club, with a Lucky Door $100 Voucher donated

by DWFP to spend on the evening.

Our next event is an exciting “getaway” on Thursday 16th May hosted by Mount Warning Tours. Leaving by bus from the Club at 9.00am, our intrepid trekkers will head off south, enjoying a morning tea along the way, followed by a rainforest cruise with drinks and lunch at House of Gabriel, then a Rum Distillery tour, and arriving back at the Club around 4.30pm.

Some dates to put into your calendar…………

Gala Ball on Saturday 20th July. A perfect opportunity to dress up and shine with some of that Gold Coast Glamour! Five piece band ‘Radio Candy’ will provide the entertainment to keep you ‘tripping the light fantastic’ on the dance floor (now extended for greater enjoyment, courtesy of the Associates Committee).

Guests will be greeted with a drink on arrival followed by Chef’s sumptuous three course dinner, topped off with a Cheese Platter and Port to complete your evening. There may be a theme for this event so please stay tuned ….

Spring Carnival Lunch on Friday 27th September A lovely day of fashion and fun and is very popular each year. The event will feature a fashion parade by a local boutique, a drink on arrival followed by a delicious two course lunch.

Melbourne Cup Day Lunch Tuesday 5th November This event is hosted by the Associates Committee in the Compass Room and is guaranteed to be a fabulous day of great race coverage, fashions, sweeps and raffles, not to mention more of Chef’s enticing cuisine with a two course lunch.

We will be presenting a Christmas Mega Raffle again this year, to be launched in early September and drawn in December.

It will feature an exciting Travel and Accommodation first prize donated by Zeppelin Travel and many other great prizes provided by our generous sponsors. We are always scouting for new sponsors for our raffles and would welcome interest from any local businesses. Sponsors receive ongoing recognition at all our events and raffles, as well as a quarter page advertisement in the Club’s quarterly magazine ‘iN SYnC’. All funds raised by the Associates Committee go to the Club to contribute to facilities at any of its venues, as well as supporting Youth Sailing. In the past two to three years, the Associates Committee has contributed $43,000 for the new Bali Hut and $50,000 towards the new pontoon at Dux. We are now aiming towards contributing around $50,000 towards a cover for the children’s playground at Main Beach. A lot of raffle tickets need to be sold to achieve this target so any prospective sponsors would be most welcome. Exciting prizes means great ticket sales!

To our loyal sponsors who donate wonderful prizes year after year – we thank you for your generosity and ongoing support.

It means a great deal for our fundraising and ensures the continued quality of our raffles.

To any ladies out there who have some spare time and would like to become a member of the Associates Committee, we would love to meet you. You will enjoy great camaraderie and make new friends, as well as help with presenting our functions and selling our raffles. If you are interested, contact can be made through Reception at the Club.

We look forward to seeing old friends and new faces at our next events.

Carmel Nicholas President, Associates Committee MEMBERS PLEASE NOTE: the Associates Committee has secured a 30% discount off entry to Ripley’s Believe It Or Not Auditorium in Surfers Paradise. You will need to show your membership card to obtain the discount.
