South of Perth Yacht Club (Inc.) 3

For the 70th time since our club’s inception, yachts will head out onto the waters of the Swan River to race this summer. Since our beginnings as a small, dinghy based club in a shed by the river, we have grown with our city to become a diverse, dynamic organisation that is home to sailors from beginners to world champions. They participate in tiny, snub-nosed sail boats to racing yachts of breathtaking grace and speed, to power yachts of all shapes and sizes.

Not only has our fl eet changed over those years, but so too has the manner in which we participate – fl eet racing, teams

racing, match racing, pursuit races. All are variations on the core theme of our club – the enjoyment of friendly (though no less keen) competition and the long “debriefi ng session” in the clubhouse afterwards.

The 2015/16 season promises to be another bumper one. The Club will host the Moth National Championships in January. We continue to run (in conjunction with Geraldton Sailing Club) the toughest race on the West Coast – the Fremantle to Geraldton Classic. Two more diverse events are hard to imagine, and yet that same thread of passion for competition on the water drives the sailors in both.

Away from home, our sailors will continue match it with the rest of the country and the world. December and January will see the usual exodus to the east coast for various national and youth national championship regattas. The usual round of state championship events will also see SoPYC’s burgee fl ying high. The middle months of 2016 hold another round of European and North American campaigns for our young guns. 2015 was a stellar year for our elite sailors who had success on four continents, taking on and beating the world. May this year be every bit as successful.

The sheer variety of events, regattas and races at home can be mind boggling. We race at the club, in some form or other on four days of every week. We average nearly 200 boats on the water each week. Winter’s power boat time trial season adds to the rich mix of alternatives for our members. Our time trial fl eet has been a dominant force in WA for some years. Expect this to continue this year as they look to build their fl eet here and in other kindred clubs.

The great opportunity for our club is to build even greater bonds between all its elements. Core to our efforts this year should be growing participation and engagement – by new members and existing ones. No matter what form our enjoyment of the club takes and in what kind of vessel, we all share a love of the wonderful family that is South of Perth. So as we throw off the mooring lines for another year, may we all have a wonderful season, fair breezes and warm friendships to help us along the way…“Many Passions – One Club”.

A yellow fl ag is not required. A boat so penalised may request redress. The race committee will protest a boat when the penalty is not accepted or for a subsequent infringement of the same rule.


18.4 A notice listing boats protested in accordance with RRS 61, or penalised under SI 18.3, will be posted within 10 minutes of the protest time limit. This notice will be deemed to be suffi cient notice of a hearing under RRS 61.1(b) for any boat which does not take a scoring penalty in accordance with SI 18.3.

18.5 When the race committee becomes aware it may have made a scoring mistake, or when requested by a boat which lodges a Scoring Enquiry form at the On Water Group Offi ces and within 24 hours of the posting of results on the Club website, it may correct an error.

except Sports Boats, ¼ Ton and mixed fl eets which will be scored on handicap in accordance with RRS A3. Handicaps will be determined by the race committee in accordance with the SoPYC Handicap Policy.

19.3 Championship series shall comprise 7 races, except F15s who have 6 races. The number required to be completed to constitute a series, and the number of scores which shall be excluded in calculating a boat’s score, shall be in accordance with the table.

a minimum cover of $10,000,000 per event or the equivalent.

Emergency Contacts


The South of Perth Yacht Club encourages safe boating practices among its members. Boat owners are required at all times to comply with the regulations and conditions of the Department of Planning and Infrastructure, as set out in the Marine Safety Rules and Regulations, together with any related statutory requirements.

All participants in racing competition conducted by the Race Committee of SoPYC are to comply with the Racing Rules of Sailing as well as the YA Special Regulations set out in the “Blue Book”, together with the sailing instructions issued for the event or Sailing Rules contained within the SoPYC Sailing Instructions and “Red Book” Notice of Race.

The attention of sailors is drawn to the Safety Issues segment of the “Red Book” and to the requirement to complete a Equipment Compliance Declaration when nominating for each sailing season.

All participants in racing and cruising events conducted by SoPYC are directed to Section 1, 1.01.1 of the YA Special Regulations:“It is the purpose of these special regulations to establish uniform minimum equipment, accommodation and training standards for racing boats and as a guide for cruising boats.”

and 1.02 1:

“The safety of a boat and crew is the sole and inescapable responsibility of the person in charge who shall do their best to ensure that the boat is fully found, thoroughly seaworthy and manned by experienced crew who have undergone appropriate training and are physically fi t to face bad weather. He must be satisfi ed as to the soundness of hull, spars, rigging, sails and all gear. He shall ensure that all safety equipment is properly maintained and stowed and that the crew know where it is kept and how it is used. Attention is drawn to 2.04 that specifi es the crew experience required for some races. He shall also nominate a person to take over the responsibilities of the person in charge in the event of his incapacitation.”

SoPYC Safe Boating Policy


South of Perth Yacht Club’s Emergency Response Plan (ERP) provides a systematic ap-proach to responding to an incident occurring during an event conducted by the club.

Emergency Response SoPYC is not equipped to provide extensive emergency response. WA Water Police (or AusSAR, depending of the incident location) will coordinate emergency response for boats requiring external medical assistance or assistance when there is grave or imminent danger to the safety of boat or crew.

SoPYC will pass on any such call for assistance to WA Water Police whilst continuing to assist.

Pre Event Preparation by the Skipper and Crew Ensure that all required Safety Equipment is on board and in good working condition. Have suffi cient crew, appropriately experienced, able to cope with the conditions likely to be

experienced. Brief the crew on emergency response in the case of an incident including locations of safety

equipment, their emergency roles and procedures to be followed. Ensure the crew is familiar with the boat’s Man Overboard (MOB) procedures. SoPYC recommends that the procedure is practiced before and during the sailing season. Have crew on board with a Senior First Aid Certifi cate (recommended for all events). Have crew on Board with a Marine Radio Operators Certifi cate of Profi ciency (recommended for Offshore Races.) Check event entry rules and be aware of any special safety requirements.

Notifi cation of IncidentWhen a boat needs emergency assistance, it should use the standard marine emergency call procedures – including PAN PAN or MAY DAY when required. Contact Club Use when assistance is required but an emergency has not yet arisen. Call the Club Emergency Response numbers. PAN PAN Use when an urgent safety message concerning safety of the boat or person is required but a May Day call is not fully justifi ed. MAY DAY Use only when a boat or person is in grave or imminent danger and requires immediate assistance.

Please refer to the “Skipper’s On Water Emergency Checklist” - following.

SoPYC Parent and Sailor Code of Conduct

SoPYC is based around juniors enjoying sailing and improving their skills while doing it. This Code of Conduct guides parents and sailors so that they both obtain maximum benefi t from participating in sailing.

Basic Principles

• Sport for children is a vital part of their growing up and is important to their self-esteem.• Sailors like to win, but more importantly, they want to have fun. • Adults need to set the right example at events, not just at home. • Adults should be proud of a child’s efforts irrespective of the result.

Parent’s Code of Conduct

1. Remember that the children sail for their enjoyment, not yours. The sailors are contesting for fun. 2. Encourage children to participate - do not force participation upon them. 3. Focus on the child’s efforts and self-esteem rather than whether they win or lose. 4. Encourage children to participate according to the rules. 5. Never criticise, ridicule or yell at a child for making a mistake or for losing a race. 6. Remember that children learn best by example- applaud the efforts of all 7. Support all efforts to remove verbal and physical abuse from sailing activities. 8. Show appreciation for volunteers, coaches and offi cials, without whom the kids could not

participate. 9. Respect the decisions of coaches and offi cials; the sailors will then learn to do the same. 10. Assist sailors to understand the responsibilities and implications of their freedom to choose

between fair and unfair sailing. 11. Boats will manoeuvre close to each other and contact and minor damage will occur from time

to time. You are responsible for minor repairs to your own boat.12. Do not approach juniors over incidents involving your children. If an incident isn’t being

resolved by a protest hearing, it is best to discuss it with the fl eet coach, the Centreboard Captain or Rear Commodore Centreboards.

Sailors Code of Conduct

1. Sail by the rules. The more you learn the better off you will be. 2. Never argue with an offi cial. If you disagree with an offi cial ruling there are ways to resolve a

problem. 3. Control your temper. Any form of abuse is not acceptable. 4. Be a good sport. Acknowledge all good sailing and be positive in all situations. 5. Do not interfere with, bully or take unfair advantage of another sailor. 6. Cooperate with all volunteers, coaches and offi cials. Without them the sailing would not

happen. 7. Sail for fun and try your best. The rewards for your effort will come. 8. Be prepared to take responsibility for your actions.9. If your boat is badly damaged during racing you should lodge a protest - make sure you know

how!
