Hello all Recreational Boating members both power and sail.

Well the Committee and I certainly feel as though we have had to hit the deck running this year with the many

Recreational Boating events on offer.

The year got off to a great start with the Picnic Raft Up. We had 38 boats enter but with a 20 knot southerly forecast it was decided that the Sandringham Yacht Club wave wall was the safest place to be. Some 29 boats ended up rafting up and our Commodore, Chris Carlile, joined the festivities for the day, raiding various boats and checking out the best pick of hospitality on offer!

February saw the resumption of our Guest Speaker nights with a visit to Frank Hammond’s sail loft on Wednesday 12 February. Frank took us through the evolution of sail-making over the years and demonstrated his state of the art computer aided design and sail cutting equipment. Paul Bartley also gave a very informative talk on what to look out for when self inspecting our rigging.

Sunday 23 February saw the running of the annual SYC Cup Navrally where SYC invites kindred clubs to compete for the coveted SYC Cup. Included in this event is the battle between SYC and RVMYC for the CUB Cup. Congratulations once again go to RVMYC for taking out the trophy

in both events and our thanks for providing the TackTrackers.

Last March we held two major events. The first was the Cruise-In-Company from Bass Strait to Apollo Bay and King Island. Eleven boats participated, some going to Apollo Bay and the rest doing the entire King Island cruise. A Guest Speaker Night was held in April to hear about all the behind the scenes preparation that goes into organising cruising events.

The second major event held in March was the Investigator Rally in a family cruise format down to Martha Cove on Saturday 22 and return Sunday 23 March. Three options were available to choose from – a leisurely cruise from SYC to Martha Cove, a scenic cruise with information pack of points of interest and quiz questions, or a timed scenic route with nominated speed. We had 18 boats entered, with 13 boats braving the brisk westerly with close to a two metre swell which meant that most people focused on their seamanship to reach Martha Cove. Special recognition goes to Paul and Pauline Liddiatt and their two young daughters, Zoe and Amy, who went down on their open RHIB despite the elements.

On 29 March we kicked off the day with the Car Boot Sale which had 11 stalls registered. Although we had a couple of last minute cancellations, I am sure buyers and sellers were pleased with the result. That afternoon, 34 boats met up at Melbourne City Marina, some having gone the

night before. Once at Docklands, some chose to dine on boats or at the various restaurants on offer at Docklands. The rest of the group embarked on the Royal Barge, the Elizabeth Anne, which took us to the Colonial Tramcar Restaurant for a sunset dinner around Melbourne returning around 20:00 to regroup and party on. The weather was so great several boats stayed the Sunday night too.

On 13 April the interclub Whalley Cup Navrally between SYC, Mordialloc Motor Yacht Club, Royal Victorian Motor Yacht Club and Beaumaris Motor Yacht Squadron was held with 20 boats entered. Whilst Sandringham did not win the Whalley Cup, we certainly have come a long way with our scores in Navrallies. The best performing boat was IV by VIII, skippered and navigated by David and Kate McCutcheon who scored 26 points which placed them overall 5th in the competition, a fantastic result. Once again, the TackTracker system was used thanks to the Royal Victorian Motor Yacht Club and special thanks to Chris Ackerman who set all the trackers up for the event.

On 4 May, the Fishing Challenge was planned but unfortunately had to be postponed to 18 May due to unseasonal warm weather and a northerly gusting over 25 knots, saw seven of the 15 entrants brave the bay at various times to hook their catches which varied from squid caught by Ralph White, to flathead, snapper and pinkies.

The Fishing Challenge winners were two of our younger entrants with the identical catch of snapper weighing in at 1.06 kg. Dean Christopher and Spiros Lekkas were awarded the fishing rods and tackle.

Our Presentation Breakfast was as popular as ever

With an outstanding performance it was the Northshore 34, Salt Whistle (Alex Hall) which topped the 2014 Sunday

Winter Series aggregate. She led the 27 yacht aggregate at the start and more importantly led the aggregate at the end of the series. All of her eight completed races resulted in top 10 finishes and she was the only yacht to record two wins in a series that produced seven different winners. Despite the Series being shortened by abandoned races, an average of about 19 yachts completed each race with 15 different yachts collecting the 24 prizes. As well as Salt Whistle there were four other yachts that completed eight races and all finished in the aggregate top 10. Silverado (John Barbieri) was 2nd, Copyright (Stuart Morrison Jack) 3rd, Lebrok (Theo Korbel) 7th and Foggy Dew (Frank Hilliard) finished in 10th place.

It is participation that is the key to success in any race series including Sunday Sailors. There are

numerous reasons why people choose to participate in keelboat racing. There can be a sense of pride and achievement with learning to sail which is enhanced when going on to skippering a yacht of any size. On the one hand sailing can be a chance to find solitude, whilst on the other there is always the chance that strangers could become lifelong friends. On many Sunday mornings sailors have solved all the problems in the world but come Monday they will have all been forgotten. There is always the enjoyment and satisfaction of keelboat racing itself, not just winning but being able to trim the sails, point and balance the yacht so that it picks up speed and glides through the water with effortless ease. Some wish to get away from something such as mobile phone connectivity whilst others see the opportunity to be involved with a group of like-minded people. There is an opportunity to be Sunday Sailing at 09:30 Sunday every alternate week.
