PRESIDENT’S REPORT

The Annual General Meeting of the CYCSA Inc and its associated entities was held on 28 August 2019. As well as approving the financial statements of the group and all other regulatory business matters, the meeting also unanimously approved the following Constitutional changes –

Notes:

1.

1.

Cash is held in a separate Sinking Fund bank account.

2.

All income received from the Sinking Fund to date has been reinvested.

The establishment of a Sinking Fund with the income and capital of the fund to be used to maintain above water assets.

3.

The Fund has returned 3.6% for the September quarter (including unrealised capital gains).

2.

The addition of electronic voting for the election of board members.

3.

Changing of the AGM from August to September.

The investment committee recently undertook a risk profile for the CYCSA Inc based on assessments made by all members of the committee. The Committee is now assessing on an ongoing basis our entire portfolio to ensure it conforms with the profile.

4.

Other minor administrative changes to update the Constitution.

WELCOME NEW BOARD MEMBERS With the resignation of Chris Wood, Brett Brown and Rob Ferguson at this year’s Annual General Meeting we welcome the following newly elected board members - Doreen Perrin, David Roper and Keith Finch.

The new board members are highly credentialed with sound commercial acumen and will have a lot to offer the board of management. David Roper has been elected Treasurer and I have no doubt he will undertake that role with a great deal of diligence and enthusiasm. With the election of Doreen Perrin it is the first time in the history of the Club that we have had a female Commodore serving simultaneously with a female board member. Whilst we have a long way to go this does improve the gender imbalance within the Club’s governance.

SINKING FUND The sinking fund continues to perform well and a reconciliation of the fund from 31 May 2019 is as follows –

Based on an estimate of the costs of maintaining above water infrastructure at Marina East, Port Vincent and Marina West over a 60 year cycle, the plan is to determine and estimate the required balance of the Sinking Fund to provide sufficient funds to undertake the required maintenance work. Once this exercise has been completed we will inform members of the outcome.

OPENING DAY Opening Day was held on 26 October 2019 and despite strong winds earlier in the day it was a great success. Thanks to all who participated together with staff and volunteers who assisted in making it a great day.

NEW CRANE We reported previously that a new crane has been ordered with an anticipated delivery and installation by December 2019. Since that announcement our engineers have advised that as a result of deflection in the wharf, certain alterations have to be made to both the new jib’s specifications and the mounting capability. These significant issues must be resolved before the crane is ordered so as to ensure the German built crane will be operational and compliant when it arrives at the CYCSA Inc. Part of this process will see the wharf scanned/x-rayed in order to determine no reinforcement will be compromised through the installation process. This has unfortunately put the time frame back considerably and we will now be looking at an ‘end of, to out of season’ installation period.

MASTER PLAN COMMITTEE I am happy to announce the Board has approved the appointment of Nelson Architects to develop a master plan to guide the development of the Club’s infrastructure over the next 10 years.

The master plan will ensure the Club has a long term capital plan to guide it towards a cost effective way in meeting capital expenditure outcomes. Thank you to David Murray and his committee for the good work done to date and we look forward to seeing the final master plan.

Please enjoy the summer months ahead of us at the Club. Our bistro/restaurant is offering outstanding meals and it is a great place to meet and socialise with friends and members. See you at the Club.

FROM THE HELM

Well another quarter of a year passes us by as the festive period approaches at a rapid pace and with that also comes improvement in the weather and ideal boating conditions.

Look out for a new initiative called the ‘Tony & Adam Show’

Having arrived early in the year I cannot wait to experience my first full summer period and all the activity that brings. After feeling the hibernation effect that winter and cooler weather has on the Club it is exciting knowing we are set up in a much better place than last year. For those of you who have returned to using the Admirals Bar and Bistro, thank you for your support and all the positive feedback we are now receiving.

Since our last publication the Club, along with its wonderful sponsors, have given away a further $1700 at the weekly Members Draw and congratulations to both Michael Taylor and Sam Houston who claimed the cash jackpots.

The recent addition of four large Shadeform umbrellas on the terrace area has enhanced the Club and we have already experienced a few lovely evenings where it’s evident our clientele will swarm towards the eight outside tables. Please feel free to book if you would like to reserve any of these. We welcome Mark and Neil from Shadeform to the Club as a Silver Sponsor and if you are interested in their range of shade solutions please see their introductory article on page 7.

What a fantastic experience Opening Day was from a newcomer’s perspective. Much credit must be passed on to our committed staff who were vital in assuring the day ran smoothly for all involved.

Congratulations to our 25 year members, volunteers and all members who braved the, at times, gusty winds, to participate in the sail past. The clubhouse, with assistance from both the kitchen and live entertainment ‘Groove Brothers & Soul Sister’ maintained great patronage throughout the day.

Look out for a new initiative called the ‘Tony & Adam Show’. Our Head Chef, Tony Bailey and I, get to share our love of great wines and food with the membership base by way of intimate events that will range from cocktail to sit down degustation type occasions.

Sauvvy with Fush & Chups FRIDAY 7 FEBRUARY 6PM

Our first event to get us started will be a combination of Seafood & Sauvy Blancs with Tony and I getting back to our Kiwi roots with a ‘Fush, Chups & Sauvy B’ evening. This will see several cocktail style seafood items being paired with some of New Zealand’s (and maybe an Aussie or two to keep the locals happy) Sauvignon Blancs.

We will host this event at 6pm till 8pm on Friday 7 February in the patio area.You will meet the wine representatives and Tony can’t wait to tell you all about the food and his recipes. All wines on offer will be available for purchase through the Club at very competitive prices. Tickets will be limited to the first 60 persons with a price of $60 for members and their guests and $70 per head for the greater public. This should be a wonderful evening for lovers of the white varietal.

Red lovers will have to wait until our planned winter event later in the year when we roll out a similar ‘Pork & Pinot’ evening.

Merry Christmas everyone and I look forward to seeing you all around the Club.

Adam Hays General Manager

FROM OUR FLAG OFFICERS

A

A busy past few months leading up to Opening Day meant there was plenty to do and lots of Club activities to enjoy.

I have spoken many times about what our Club means to Marty and me - our sanctuary. It is more than a club, it’s a community. It is a place where we come together to enjoy the trials and tribulations of having a boat!

The Cruising Association organised a Cruise up the Port River which was cancelled due to the weather forecast. The group of more than 20 did however meet together for dinner and great camaraderie with old and new members. In September we led a small flotilla on a tour of the local mangroves starting at Garden Island. This was so much fun and I hope we will be doing it again soon. I am sure these events will be covered in the Cruising Associations report.

Italian Night was a great success and just shows the variety of social events the Club keeps running.

The New Members Morning Tea has been a wonderful way to showcase our Club. I have been incredibly lucky to meet some of our new members and spend time with them listening to what they would like to get out of the Club. From this we now have several new volunteers across the Associations. It’s great to have you on board and I am sure you will feel very welcome Marty and I were also invited to the launch of ‘Setting A New Course’ in September. This program has been designed to assist affected Australian Defence Force personnel focus on their future by taking on a specifically designed Competent Crew Course run by our own Marine Academy. Good luck to all who participated and I know some will continue to stay in touch The opening of the sailing season has well and truly kicked off keeping the Flag Officers very busy for the past six weeks.

John Sibly, Adrian Wotton, Jeff Dinham (JD) and I were able to represent the Club at many other Opening Days all around our state. The absolute highlight for me was our very own Opening Day. I was delighted to see so many participate in the Sail Past despite the forecast! Our young piper, William Mullighan, was outstanding. It was fitting that he pipe through our youth participants from Ocean View College to begin the sailpast followed by power then sail boats.

Horizons was packed for the official opening and for just a moment I had a tear in my eye looking out at the sea of smiling faces before me, most well-known friends and just a few unfamiliar faces. It was also wonderful to see our Tasmanian friends make their traditional annual trip to Adelaide for this special day.

A heartfelt thank you to all our wonderful volunteers and staff who made it such a great day.

Our work of fixing leaks on our yacht, Bula, is almost complete – yay! We are certainly looking forward to some cruising in our awesome local waters this summer without a leaking roof.

During this last year my Vice Commodore duties have included committee duties, assisting with our Opening Day and attending other club Opening Days to represent our Club. These have been at Adelaide Sailing Club, Garden Island Yacht Club, Port Lincoln Yacht Club and the Royal South Australian Yacht Squadron. These were all similar but different events and I particularly enjoyed Port Lincoln’s where they have the usual sail past and then the races are started.

At Port Lincoln I also assisted with the trophy presentation and a highlight was an eleven year old girl who won the Optimist (Opti) class. She was a little dynamo and I asked how far she wanted go in sailing and she said she wants to sail for Australia in any solo class yacht and wants to do it all herself. Good on her! Going to the other clubs is a big reminder of how great our Club and our facilities are. I thought our Opening Day this year was special with a renewed spirit amongst the members and I look forward to it being bigger and better next year.

John Sibly Vice Commodore

After leaving South Australia in early June to sail up to the Whitsundays, it was great to return to our brilliant Club in early October; the boat, skipper and crew all safe and well. We competed in a number of regattas, the highlight being Hamilton Island Race Week. Conducted in beautiful and perfect sailing waters this year’s race week was the second biggest in event history with 234 entries.

The on-water fun was matched by the off-water activities that included live bands and entertainment after racing, an excellent selection of food on the island and pop-up restaurants, pool parties, fashion parades and, for some, an amazing variety of tropical cocktails.

As for our cruising community, there are lots of upcoming activities over the next few months including the Cruising Association’s BYO 2nd Saturday of the month BBQs, the Associations Christmas Bash on 14 December and the Cruising Association New Year’s Eve party at Brown’s Beach, Kangaroo Island.

Hope to see you around the Club and out on the water soon!

Adrian Wotton Rear Commodore

I

I found myself with a little more spare time than I would normally have at the start of this season and it provided me with an opportunity to catch up with former off-the-beach competitors.

Attending the opening of Brighton Seacliff Yacht Club’s centenary season and Adelaide Sailing Club’s opening the following week gave me a great opportunity to network with other yachties to build our sport. The ‘Out There Sailing’ Youth Program, aimed at 12 to 17 year olds, with the goal of having fun in a range of on-water activities from keelboats, dinghies, stand up paddle boards, windsurfers and power boat adventures is proving to be a hit and something we should be involved in as soon as possible. The Marine Academy Advisory Committee is meeting regularly to ensure our Academy assets are updated and in good order so we have some great opportunities to promote our sport and Club.

It was great to have been invited to the Royal South Australian Yacht Squadron’s 150th Opening Day also.

Looking forward to being out there racing Jeff Dinham Rear Commodore

NEW CLUB SPONSOR

WELCOME SHADEFORM The CYCSA is delighted to welome our newest Club Sponsors onboard, Shadeform.

When visiting the Club you can’t help but notice the series of stunning new umbrellas overlooking the marina, providing waterproof shade for patrons and Club members alike. With colours selected to complement the upgraded bar building, these stylish and durable umbrellas greatly enhance the terrace, increasing use of this area for socialising and outdoor dining.

The four Flexshade Q14 umbrellas, which feature custom link panels for improved weatherproof protection, were supplied and installed

by Shadeform, the South Australian Distributor for Flexshade. The Flexshade range of umbrellas and membrane structures provide the ultimate in dependable waterproof shade being designed to withstand winds up to 160km/hr. Ideally suited for residential or commercial applications, the umbrellas feature a robust steel framework with steel arms and a durable PVC membrane with a ten year warranty. The Flexshade series is available in a range of sizes from 2.5 metres square up to the large twin Duet umbrella covering a whopping 50 square metres!

Locally based here in Adelaide, Shadeform evolved with the ‘sailing’ Soulsby family who were initially the Hood SA sailmakers in Adelaide, with the family deeply involved in the sailing Industry.

In fact, Mark Soulsby, the Managing Director, has formerly been a member of the CYCSA, sailing with David Urry on War Games in two Southern Cross Cups and Sydney Hobart campaigns along with also sailing Etchells and other keelboats from the CYCSA. Developed from sailmaking to the shade industry and with a dedicated team of designers, sales people, sail makers, machinists and installers, Shadeform are well placed to service residential and commercial clients throughout Adelaide, South Australia and country-wide through a network of dedicated agents. With a background in sail making and over 30 years in business, Shadeform continue to set the standard for durable and well-designed shade products where scrupulous attention to detail and quality control come as standard to deliver shades that will stand the test of time.

Shade sails are at the core of the Shadeform range and are available in a wide range of fabrics with numerous colour choices to suit any home or commercial setting. Built to withstand the harsh Australian sun and inevitable storms, a shade sail from Shadeform is computer designed and plotted and features triple reinforcing to the corners, grade 316 stainless steel edge cables and fittings and is either industrially sewn with lifetime warranty thread or high frequency

welded on joining seams depending on the fabric selected. This attention to detail, rigorous testing and years of experience has resulted in Shadeform proudly manufacturing the most durable shade sails on the market.

Over the years Shadeform have seen increased demand for retractable shade systems, providing the user with the ultimate in controllable shading when required. In response to this trend, Shadeform designed and developed the hugely popular Shaderunner® retractable sail system. Manufactured here in Adelaide the Shaderunner® is constructed using only the most durable marine grade yacht fittings and Ronstan ball bearing pulleys, ensuring years of trouble free shading with minimal maintenance.

The Shaderunner® is manufactured from a range of rigorously tested fabrics, from 95% polyester mesh to waterproof PVC. Each fabric is mould resistant and offers protection from glare and the sun’s harmful rays with a wide range of colours available. The unique qualities of the Shaderunner® enable it to be utilised for a multitude of applications, from the smallest domestic setting right up to large span commercial projects, such as aquatic parks and hotels.

A relatively new addition to the Shadeform range, the retractable waterproof fabric roof system, is also seeing increased demand from home owners and the hospitality industry alike. Custom manufactured to suit the individual application and available in sizes up to 13m wide by 10m extension, the retractable waterproof roof system is the ultimate in convenient weather protection – whatever the weather may be! The fully motorised system with remote controlled operation features integrated guttering and downpipes, plus optional dimmable lights to provide the ultimate in contemporary all-weather protection. By adding side blinds to the Retractable Roof, a fully enclosed outdoor room can be created enabling year round protection from the elements.

Completing the range of retractable shade options, Shadeform are the South Australian agents for the Issey Sunshade Systems, providing a wide range of retractable awnings and blinds. Regarded as amongst the most durable on the market the Issey range features folding arm and drop arm awnings, sun roof awnings and retractable external blinds.

CLUB NEWS

INTRODUCING OUR NEW RACING ADMINISTRATOR As David Royle moves on to focus his efforts on heading up the Marine Academy, we welcome Inese Lainis into the role as our Racing Administrator.

VALE ARTHUR CAROLAN It is with great sadness that we acknowledge in Groundswell the passing of one of the founding fathers of our great Club, Arthur Carolan.

Born on 22 February 1925, Arthur died on Saturday 5 October 2019 at the age of 94 years old. His wife Kim, also a Foundation Member of the Club, passed away on 30 March 2015. Kim and Arthur leave behind three children, Mark, Paul and Fiona, and five grandchildren.

Affectionately known around the Club as ‘Uncle Arthur’, his life has been interesting and varied. He joined the Navy in 1942 and served on HMAS Adelaide, Napier and Quality and saw action in the Indian Ocean and off the Burmese and Japanese coasts.

Arthur and Kim settled in Adelaide and he took on the role of Managing Director of BEA which had recently acquired the distribution of Mercedes Benz in South Australia, Broken Hill and Northern Territory. After the death of its founder, Clyde Waterman, Arthur took over and upon retiring from this business moved to Sanctuary Cove in Queensland where he lived until his death.

After joining the CYCSA in 1974 as Foundation Member Number 38 he joined the Board in 1978, was appointed Vice Commodore a year later, served as President from 1983 until 1989 and was awarded Life Membership in 1990 for his service to the Club. He negotiated the contract for the construction of Marina East and was the instigator of a great deal of the commercial background of the Club.

Arthur, together with his great friend and fishing mate Johnno Johnson, was also responsible for negotiating the purchase of the Club basin from the Packer consortium that had purchased it from the Government. They flew over to Sydney to discuss the issue and upon being greeted as the “boys from the bush” it was on for young and old.

Arthur was about to teach this young buck from the big smoke a thing or two about negotiating. A firm sale of the Gulf Point Marina occurred on 30 November 1983 and on Wednesday 13 June 1984 at 11.30am the CYCSA became the freehold owner of their own land and water. Each berth owner now has freehold title to their berth to sell and bequeath as they see fit and this, when it happened, was unique in Australia.

Inese has had a long association with the Club as a racing member from the 1990s on and as a long-standing volunteer around the Club. I asked her to tell me a little about her racing days and learned that her first sailing adventure was a day sail around The Everglades. Her second was a race down to Kangaroo Island at night. Here she met people from the CYCSA who invited her to sail in the Twilights.Very quickly she was asked to race Saturdays and took part in her first of about ten Adelaide to Port Lincoln races. Since racing initially on Liat II, Inese has crewed on a range of boats including Freya, Ishtar, Miss Ally, Ruffian, Shiraz, and Synergy.

Inese has also helped with some of the training on Academy 1 and on the Start Boat on race days. As part of an introduction to the work of Race Officer she was also Race Officer for a day at the Squadron. She also served on the Social Committee for a number of years.

In her new role as Racing Administrator Inese has relished the challenge of a steep learning curve as she takes on the complexities of the job and enjoys the increased interaction with Club members on race days.

Look for her friendly face in the Race Office and on the patio running the results and prizes in post-race presentations.

Outside the Club Inese is a talented musician, a concert violinist and violin teacher who also plays viola, cello, double bass, piano, recorder, tin whistle and guitar. Other interests include ballroom dancing and skiing both here and overseas. A valued member of the Adelaide Latvian community, she volunteers her time including conducting two choirs and also volunteers in the Australian community with choirs and ensembles.

Di Schwerdt

MARRIED AT LAST CYCSA Foundation Member Alan Cotton and Club Member Bronwyn Thomas surprised their guests at the recent Squadron Opening Day. After 35 years together they were married on the pontoon beside their beloved cruiser Ithaca in front of over 40 family and friends.

A wonderful celebration was then had with champagne in the sunshine.

The day was further enhanced with Ithaca winning an award in the RSAYS Opening Day Sail Past.

Congratulations Alan and Bronwyn, we wish you many more happy years to come.

A very important part of the Club’s history has now gone but we have been left with an enduring legacy.

Our condolences go to Arthur’s family for their loss.

Farwell Arthur.

CYCSA MARINE ACADEMY

Update

SAFETY FOR YOU With summer upon us it is time to take stock of your skills and equipment to meet regulatory requirements and make sure that you, your friends and loved ones are safe on your boat. Be it a powerboat or a yacht, the Marine Academy provides training to make sure you are equipped to meet most things you might confront whilst in the gulf or further afield.

Tracey

Most popular and the best starting point for safety training is our Safety Sunday Course. This summer it will be held on Sunday 12 January 2020 starting at 9.00am and finishing mid-afternoon. The course comprises both theory and practice, and yes, you end up in the water climbing into a life raft. The day is both instructive and satisfying with the skills and knowledge learned hopefully not having to be put into future practice.

The course has given me some new skills but mostly just heaps of ‘boat confidence’. I know I can learn to sail well enough over the course of this first season to make a meaningful contribution to winning a race and eventually cruise in my own boat…oops yes, just bought my first boat!

Please feel free to make contact by phoning the Club or at: marine.academy@cycsa.com.au

David Royle Marine Academy Principal

As the only accredited Australian Sailing and Royal Yachting Association in South Australia, the CYCSA Marine Academy provides highly recognised training in our state for the benefit of our members and the wider general boating public. Learn more at: cycsa.com.au/training/

COMPETENT CREW COURSE EXPERIENCE For reasons unknown I recently became obsessed with learning to sail a boat. Over the years I have been out a handful of times but in recent months started falling (heavily) down a YouTube sailing rabbit hole.

Armed with many hours of disjointed internet knowledge on the October Long Weekend I did the Competent Crewing Course in real life. As a female in my 50s I was expecting there would be a lot of sailing I couldn’t do not having the physical strength of a man nor being a YouTube sailing blogger living aboard in the Caribbean.

But then I met course instructor Hugh. Apart from being a gun instructor he was also very clear that women sailors are most welcome at the CYCSA, in fact, they have a female Commodore. He told me there are lots of women of all ages who are exceptionally competent sailors so there was no reason why I couldn’t learn to sail and be a valuable crew member.

On the course we went through all the essential safety and crewing knowledge and then got lots of practice even steering on the helm.

Personal highlights for me were talking on the radio to Coastguard Adelaide and getting the run down on the diesel engine. Overall there was a serious sense of accomplishment. Since the course Hugh and the Club have been super generous by continuing to invite us out on the instructor boat, Academy 1, to learn to race in the Twilight Races on Wednesday nights. I have even had a go on a Race Official Boat so I can start to understand the racing rules. I am booked to do the Safety Sunday Course this year before Lincoln Week and then Day Skipper next season.

Getting to know the other crew members has been fun and I look forward to learning more about them and how to work together to complement each other’s skills. Ending our evening sail with a drink and the best buffet in the world was an unexpected bonus.

CYCSA RACING ASSOCIATION

Round Up

Our racing season for the summer of 2019-20 is now in full swing with great participation from members.

This year’s Short-Handed Series was well supported with a combined fleet of some six boats.

Conditions over the series were very frustrating however with two of the six races lost to either too much wind or not enough. First place was a tussle between Ruffian (Michael McGlinchey) and The Bottom Line (Lee Haakmeester and David Fawcett) with The Bottom Line being this year’s winner. Squadron boat Take 5 (Stephen Martin) squeezed into second place with Ruffian in third.

Series 1 of the Phil Hoffmann Travel Twilight Series started in October with 23 boats on the water.

So far we have had to abandon two races due to strong winds. This series will go through until Christmas with Series 2 starting in January.

At the time of writing our Club Inshore Series has one race completed. It is too early to ascertain which crews will reach the consistency required to take home the Inshore Series this year but as always it will be hotly contested. The newly arrived Pirate (Keith Finch) debuted in the first Inshore race and there will be much interest in her progress through the summer.

The first race of the Offshore Series, the Orontes Cup, was held on 19 October with Club boats doing well in the combined fleet of nine boats.

Pirate (Keith Finch) took out first place on PHS and AMS with Golden Cowrie (Steve Harrington) coming fourth on PHS. While some boats were racing the Offshore Series others were competing in the Coaster Series Race 1 with a fleet of six CYCSA boats on the water. Doctor Feelgood 3 (Wayne Coonan) took out first place on PHS, AMS and IRC and second was White Knight (David Knights) for all handicaps.

There is much fun left to be had in this summer season and with the business end of the season approaching we can expect our teams to go all out to set themselves up for overall wins in whichever racing they compete in.

Veteran Sailing Program Five South Australian veterans took to the high seas thanks to an innovative program offered by The Road Home and the Cruising Yacht Club of South Australia aimed at developing sailing skills while building confidence and social connections.

Thanks to the support of Senator David Fawcett, major sponsor Northrop Grumman Australia and supporting sponsors Raytheon Australia and SAAB Australia, the program, Setting a New Course, offers current or former serving Australian Defence Force (ADF) personnel with little to no sailing experience the opportunity to undertake a five day Accredited Royal Yachting Association (RYA) sailing program.

For the last two months selected veterans participated in a world class Veteran Sailing Program which has seen five former serving members from all three Australian Defence Force service branches brought together and experience something unique.

For all the veterans the experience brought them back to where we came from: starting from day one not knowing the person next to you and having to get to know them in a very short period to build a team that needs to work effectively to perform under stressful demanding conditions. This was something they had stepped away from but were all very familiar with. The dynamics of the team was very headstrong from many years either at sea, that being either under or on top of the water, patrolling as part of an Infantry or Cavalry element and lastly, in the background in cyber space.

Hugh Longbottom was a godsend for all the veterans having a professional easy-going approach and being able to work with big personalities. Hugh demonstrated an instructional style that was very methodical, knowledgeable, easy to understand and ensured that practical tasks were performed the right way without misinterpretation. His respect and patience were the big ticket items and this was something all the guys commented on during the training and were very impressed with. As you may appreciate many of the veterans are suffering from an array of defence-related physical and mental health injuries. However these injuries did not slow anyone down on or off the boat.

The weekend across to Port Vincent was very sloppy and two members decided they should feed the fish with half-digested ham and cheese sandwiches for lunch. This was met by a silent period on the boat for 30 minutes followed by jokes being cracked about the lack of ability to hold down breakfast and lunch which helped the team bond even more. That night we stayed at the marina and had a BBQ dinner followed by lots of war stories. We all had an awesome weekend and it was great to finish it off with a solid run from Port Vincent back to the CYCSA. The guys have described their own experiences in the following statements:

12

Darren Wilcox - The Setting a New Course Veteran Sailing Program attracted me not only for the sailing experience but for the small team environment and the opportunity to bond and talk to people going through similar issues and who have served their country in difficult circumstances. After being selected from a large number of applicants it was just what I needed. Not only did we all get professional instruction from Hugh Longbottom on a great yacht called Academy 1, I was able to speak to and work with fellow veterans dealing with similar issues.

Matthew Rudnik - The utilisation of sailing has given me some much needed mental relaxation whilst learning new skills in an enjoyable atmosphere around some good mates.

Chris Pitman - The new Setting a New Course has been a life changer for me. For some time, since my discharge from the ADF, I have been searching for a new venture. The course run by the Cruising Yacht Club of SA was exceptional and exceeded my expectations. The instructor, Hugh Longbottom, had the perfect mentality and skills to teach veterans with mental health injuries.

Chris Brown - Until recently I had isolated myself from the veteran community as I felt this was the best way for me to deal with my own veteran problems. However, sharing a weekend with other veterans in an engaging and bonding activity helped me to understand both my past and future direction as a veteran.

At the end of the weekend we were all on a high and wondered what next. John Duncan and Chris Pitman have taken the reins with this one and will look at the future of the course and the involvement of veterans in the Club into the future. This may involve Club memberships, the possibility of involvement from the current ADF serving members at the RAAF base Edinburgh, future courses, involvement in the yearly sailing schedule, the possibility of a Veteran/Defence boat and the Sydney to Hobart yacht race etc.

Lastly we would all like to congratulate the CYCSA, the sponsors, The Road Home, and Senator Fawcett for facilitating a very well run course which, if continued, will give the opportunity for more veterans to be exposed to an excellent program and be part of your world class yacht club.

John Duncan (Ex Infantry Veteran)

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 Pat Catley through the Club if you are interested in having your boat featured here.

There should be some exciting racing at the Club over this summer season and those to come with two more TP52s joining Geoff Boettcher’s SMB in the fleet.

I decided to look at exactly what is a TP52 and discovered the set of rules which make up the design. A ‘box’ rule was established where a boat must fit within a notional box of specified dimensions.The current rules specify a single masted, fixed keel monohull with a single rudder and maximum hull length of 15.85 metres (52 ft), beam width of 4.43 metres (14.5 ft), keel draft of 3.5 metres (11 ft) and spinnaker hoist height of 22.4 metres (73 ft), along with a minimum total weight of 6,975 kilograms (15,377 lb) and maximum keel bulb weight of 3,800 kilograms (8,400 lb).

Very technical stuff I am sure and here is an introduction to the new additions, Another Hooligan and Pirate.

and Carkeek design team working on modifications to optimise the boat for IRC handicap racing and took delivery after the boat completed the Audi MedCup circuit’s regatta and renamed it Hooligan.

She was raced in the USA by a team from the Naval Academy Varsity for offshore sailors, competing in the 2017 Annapolis-to-Newport race. The boat later came to the attention of CYCSA member, Nicholas George, who has returned the boat to our shores and it is a wonderful addition to our racing fleet. As Marcus Blackmore had named his new TP52 Hooligan, Nick George had to consider a different name and Another Hooligan was the perfect answer.

On deck there is tiller steering, and a central Harken coffee grinder for the crew to work. Sailing with a crew of around fourteen, they are kept busy while racing. Instruments on the mast are B&G while under the deck lines keep the cockpit tidy.

Nick has owned four racing yachts. A Swarbrick; a DK46; Sydney38 and the current TP52. He’s also had a couple of cruising boats.

They are competing in the IRC states plus all the regattas and Port Lincoln Race Week.

Apart from his racing activities, Nick is currently expanding the Georges and Koonowla wine brands across Australia and into China.

Nick is also a generous CYCSA sponsor and we thank him for the support he gives the Club.

Thank you for your help with this article and I wish you success in all you do, on and off the water.

Pat Catley

ANOTHER HOOLIGAN When I first saw Another Hooligan she was sitting on the dock at Outer Harbor having just been delivered after a long journey from the east coast of America. She looked forlorn, with no mast or keel but she also looked like a fast racing vessel waiting to be let loose on the water. A month later, with keel and rigging complete, the boat has found her new home in Marina East in the CYCSA. The shining dark hull with green deck trim looks splendid with plenty of room for the crew to move around.

The boat was designed by Botin and Carkeek. Former Australian Farr 40 champion Marcus Blackmore bought the 2009 Audi MedCup TP52 champion named Emirates Team New Zealand to campaign her seriously in the major Australian inshore regattas. He had the Botin

BOATS AT THE CLUB

PIRATE Keith Finch recently brought his new boat Pirate into the CYCSA. She is a TP52 designed by Bruce Farr and built by Goetz Boats from the United States in 2005.

Originally launched under the name Pegasus, she was later purchased and renamed Morning Light by Roy Disney for the movie Morning Light. Extracts from the movie are available on You Tube and show some amazing footage. It’s worth viewing.

Morning Light was then purchased by Syd Fischer, renamed Ragamuffin and became well known under that name. Keith has now renamed her Pirate. This TP52 was first raced in the 2005 Transpac and is a very well prepared and competitive IRC/ORCi Offshore yacht.

While undertaking modifications in Australia for the Sydney to Hobart Race, she had additional bulkheads and stringers added with additional waterproofing also commissioned.

On deck two large wheels enable the helmsman to move across the boat with ease. There are two pedestals for the main and two primary winches that are interconnected. This is a huge benefit for hoisting and gybing. There are also two winches for the coachhouse control lines and two further secondary winches. The backstay, forestay and outhaul are all on a manual hydraulic pump. Nine Spinlock jammers are on the cabin top and two Carbon reaching struts. Pirate has a Yanmar 40hp diesel engine in a separate engine room and below deck the layout is open with eight pipe cots, standing headroom and an electric quietflush toilet. The galley consists of a single burner gas stove and small sink with a manual water pump.

Apart from the change of name the most noticeable addition to Pirate are the impressive graphics that stretch from bow to stern.

A mermaid at the bow swims with an octopus, twisting through seaweed and culminating with the name in large letters near the stern. There is no mistaking this yacht when she is out on the water.

Thank you for your help Keith and I wish you every success in your future racing.

To be honest, it wasn’t looking good, with strong winds and dreary weather conditions forecast. It was questionable if the annual Sail Past would even go ahead.

However, in the end, the wind abated and we were very fortunate to see bright sunny skies and warm temperatures to celebrate the Official Opening of the 2019/20 Sailing Season.

Our official vessel for the Sail Past was again the magnificent Tall Ship, One & All, moored at Marina West on the end of J-Row. The Sail Past was conducted internally within the North Haven Marina basin and it was awesome to see the kids involved again for the Sail Past with juniors from the Ocean View College Sailing Team out on the water. The powerboats were led by Ciaron Cowley in Time Out followed by the yachts led by Keith Finch in his new TP52, Pirate. It was great to see all the boats out on the water dressed in colourful flags with just as lively costumes for the crew members. Well done to everyone who participated, it was fantastic to see more boats this year and the geniality and seamanship of our Club members.

Glenda Smyth

Upon the conclusion of the Sail Past, Pirate moored at the Marina East gangway, where ‘Mermaid Turquoise’ made a special appearance and greeted the kids and kids at heart.

In keeping with an old Opening Day tradition we once again had a lone Scottish piper play the bagpipe summoning members and guests to the Horizons Function Room for the start of the official ceremony and presentations. William, aged 14, was delightful and went above and beyond, playing on board the One & All prior to the presentations along with engaging the crowd with a brief rendition of the National Anthem at the official proceedings.

Robert Carter

This year we were privileged to have our Club Patron, Rear Admiral The Honourable Kevin Scarce, AC, CSC to officiate at the opening of the 2019/20 Sailing Season along with Liz Scarce. The formalities were kept short and sweet to “get the party started” as our Commodore, Jacq, enthusiastically stated.

Once the formal presentations were completed the official guests enjoyed afternoon tea in Mariners while the band, ‘Groove Brothers & Soul Sister’, kicked off and had the crowd up and dancing into the night.

I look forward to seeing you all again for Opening Day next year.

Hamilton Island Race Week

2019

Two-hundred-and-thirty-four crews, the second largest Hamilton Island Race Week fleet in this event’s history, lined up for the 2019 regatta commencing on 18 August.

School’s Out sailed up the East Australian coast having competed earlier in the Australian Women’s Keelboat Regatta at St Kilda, Melbourne and the much warmer Airlie Beach Regatta during the preceding week.

We were joined for the week by South Australian crews from CYCSA yacht Sintara (Derek Morrison) sailing on the local charter boat Karma and the RSAYS multi-hull, Crosshair (Gerald Valk).

Day One Warm temperatures, light winds, blue skies and smooth seas made for a beautiful day on the water. School’s Out had a great start and sailed well to the first mark, the towering Pentecost Island. Winds dropped to three knots at times and the strong tides became a major factor. Good spinnaker work, “doing the angles,” saw us finish 12th over the line out of 26 boats. On corrected time we finished 18th so we were looking forward to the next race and a chance to move up the scoreboard.

Day Two We had a tricky spinnaker start but did well to be one of the first boats around the first mark. On the second leg we had lots of tacks against a strong tide that worked off last night’s Mexican dinner and tequilas! Winds were fickle again and the entire fleet was becalmed at the last mark, Pentecost Island. It took us two hours to round this island but once around we did well on the spinnaker leg finishing strongly in light winds. We had a wonderful day out on the water and finished 15th across the line and 20th on corrected time. Earlier in the day a few of the crew greeted sunrise by the beach and walked up the steep track to Passage Peak that provided stunning views of the surrounding islands.

Day Three Strong winds gusting to 35 knots saw racing delayed for three hours until the gusts were only 25 knots! The downwind start was challenging but we survived without incident. The crew did brilliantly on the next leg with lots of very hard tacking against the legendary Whitsundays’ raging tides. Another spinnaker leg followed and to our delight we passed a number of our competitors. More tacking to the finish made it a hard day out on the water. We were very pleased with our 8th across the line with a corrected time of 6th out of 26 boats, our best and most satisfying day so far in this wonderful regatta.

Day Four This day was a ripper. Gusts of 28 knots before the race had everyone a bit nervous but we had a good start crossing the line first at top boat speed. We soon had our spinnaker up and had an awesome downwind leg to the first mark in very challenging conditions. The final two legs had lots of great tacking by the crew and saw us finish 5th over the line. We were very happy and excited to make the podium with a hard-earned 3rd out of 26 boats. We had a great night of celebrations with live music and dancing in the marina.

School’s Out crew

HAMILTON ISLAND RACE WEEK Day Five An early walk by some of the crew, free coffees at the yacht club, lots of whales out on the water and strong winds gusting to 27 knots were some of the highlights on Day Five. We were positioned well for the start when our headsail developed a bad tear. A quick trip back to the marina and a sail change saw us start late but well.

Our next challenge was the asymmetrical spinnaker shredding on a shy reach but the crew reacted professionally and with spirit.

Way behind the fleet at this stage we set ourselves a goal to catch as many boats as we could. Despite being 20 minutes late over the start line we managed to pass six boats and felt that we had sailed positively.

Day Six The final day of this magnificent regatta did not disappoint with flat seas, strong winds and a challenging course through Unsafe Passage opposite Daydream Island. School’s Out had her best start, first across the line with our spinnaker hoisted soon after. It was a great downwind leg with a magnificent whale breaching on our course. There was very close ‘argy-bargy’ through the narrow Unsafe Passage and then lots of tacking home. We finished 9th across the line and 9th on corrected time out of the 26 boat fleet. We finished 15th overall out of 26 great competitors and what fun, hard work, comradeship and partying we’ve had! The fun continued that night with the crew attending an excellent gala presentation night with a great cover band and lots of ‘lemonade’ all round.

Conclusion Race Week did not disappoint. We had great sailing around the beauty of the Whitsundays, balmy winter temperatures, nightly live entertainment, early morning crew walks along the many scenic island trails and a lazy cruise to the spectacular Whitehaven Beach area on completion of the regatta. A big thank you goes to my crew for the laughs, comradeship and their professional level of sailing; Mary Beth Aiken, Peter Guilhaus, Mary Ann Harvey, Andrew Lloyd, Jo Pilmore, Helen Willmer and Guy Wogan-Provo. We’ll be back!

A great start

NEW Stunning South Pacific Club members Christine and Darren Harvey, together with two friends, chartered a yacht in Noumea in August 2019 and Darren has written this article for your enjoyment.

Knowing little about New Caledonia and with much excitement we soon discovered a piece of paradise. For the past couple of years we have bareboat chartered around the Whitsunday Islands however we felt it was time to explore further afield with more freedom to sail.

New Caledonia is just 3.5 hours by jet from Melbourne and is surrounded by the world’s largest lagoon covering an area of 24,000sq kms with 8,000sq kms of protected waters preserving the coral reef structures. There are 74 beautiful islands, mostly uninhabited but explorable, and vast reef systems you can enjoy during the day with sufficient anchorage spots close by to pull up for the night.

Arbois is a small French town producing some of the finest Jura wines and is also the name of the Beneteau Oceanis 41ft we chartered in New Caledonia for 14 nights in August this year.

Brook, at Charter World Yachting Holidays in Melbourne, guided our decisions on location and boat selection which ended up being perfect for the four of us. Arbois can sleep six however we were very comfortable with just four utilising the third bedroom as storage.

The maintenance and cleanliness of the vessel was excellent and the additional spares placed on board such as impeller, fan belts, fuses, spare fuel and water containers made our 500nm journey around the Loyalty Islands and Southern Lagoon possible. Flying in with our lifejackets and PLBs (provided by Shipptek) was another consideration we did not regret as the boat was not equipped with an EPIRB, however it did come with a liferaft and all the other safety items.

Flying into Noumea was easy, uncomplicated and affordable. We soon discovered purchases in New Caledonia are outrageously expensive but heck, we were on holiday. The charter price was comparable to the Whitsundays but the overall experience left the Whitsundays fading behind on many fronts. Provisioning the boat with French gourmet foods and wine was straightforward as one kilometre from the marina was the Johnston supermarket which was comparable to any large supermarket back in Australia. The local market bordering the marina supplied good quality fresh fruit and veg that would last for our two week trip and the meat from the local butcher was superb. Within a few hours Christine and Sheree arrived back at the marina in a cab loaded with supplies. We were aware that once we departed Noumea we had little to no options for water, fuel, food and importantly, alcohol resupplies. Dave and I had the task of handover, learning all we could about the boat, local waters and critically ascertaining that Arbois could safely handle our impending sailing ambitions. At 4:30pm Arbois was ours.

Sailing out of Noumea the weather granted us a window of opportunity to head across to the Loyalty Islands. Our departure point was an overnight at Port Boise where we discovered the Kanua Tera Ecolodge. We anchored just offshore in a stunning location and dinghied in for a delightful Melanesian dinner which put us further into holiday mode. We had a morning snorkel sighting many colourful fish and a turtle before we prepared Arbois for our midday departure.

The Loyalty Islands are made up of three main islands; Mare, Lifou, and Ouvea. Time, weather and a little bit of local unrest, led us to the middle island, Lifou. Havannah Passage required careful planning to avoid the tidal race but once outside the main lagoon it wasn’t long before our depth sounder kept alarming every minute with

22

‘depth data missing’ as average depths were now between 3002500m. We quickly learnt how to switch the depth data alarm off.

Throughout the night we sailed 130nm with many tacks, determined that we could sail into the non-predominant headwind (as Take That Too recently mentioned, the wind is always coming from the direction we wish to head). At 9am four tired sailors managed some difficult manoeuvres through the marina to arrive in the friendly laid back Port We. We enjoyed a surprise late breakfast of Nems (large spring rolls) at the local café. Fuel was unavailable at the marina however one kilometre up the road was a local service station.

After carrying 80 litres of diesel in jerrycans over two trips I was ready for another Nem. We managed to stock up on freshly baked local baguettes and topped up our water tanks ready for departure.

Port We is the only anchorage location on the east side of Lifou so I gave careful consideration to weather patterns before choosing our direction. Lifou has adequate mobile phone coverage for weather updates aided by the wifi router with unlimited data that we hired at the airport otherwise Sécurité weather forecasts are broadcast on channel 67 in French.

Heading north we anchored for two nights in Baie De Jokin.

Surrounded by 60m cliffs we were once again stunned by the beauty, turquoise waters, fantastic marine life and coral structures. Although winds were not favourable for this anchorage and we endured a very rocky evening, we stayed because this place was just too good.

The locals were happy in nature and gave us many laughs especially the village teenagers as we dinghied back to Arbois through their ocean swimming pool. Doueoulou, on the west side, is another spectacular anchorage. Kanak traditions apply on the Loyalty Islands with customs requiring all visitors to request the Chief’s permission to stay in the bay or wander about their village – a small gift is offered and our choice was cash and chocolate. The Chief is not always easy to find, however. The search led us on a memorable walk around the small village of Doueoulou with the added bonus of discovering the local bakery serving only hot fresh baguettes - a great day. Lifou is a stunning island and we had the sailing grounds to ourselves outside the little We Marina and it presented the sailing adventure and challenges we were seeking for our first week in New Caledonia.

It was not long before we were again sailing overnight back to the mainland. Sea conditions were a little average however our non-sailing friends had gained their sea legs and were lapping up the experience. The east coast of the mainland has a few passage entrances back into the main lagoon. We opted to stay outside the lagoon until daylight hours combined with a slack tide before heading in. Insurance was another factor with a no sailing clause in the lagoon after sunset. Twenty-two hours later we were in the Southern Lagoon.

Our remaining week was within the Southern Lagoon - WOW. Peppered with uninhabited islands and reef systems it was difficult to decide where to go. The essential Rocket Guide (purchased online on our MacBook) assisted our planning and safe routes - thanks to the Footers for this tip. Highlights have to be Ilot Koukare and Ilot Ua for the stunning ocean colours, healthy reef systems and an abundance of marine life. I am sure we only had a taste of what is actually out there. We were regularly greeted by reef sharks, sea snakes, turtles and so many colourful fish which kept our Gopro very active and the battery flat. There are absolutely no services in the Southern Lagoon so it was delightful to switch off and observe.

To have Island Ua to ourselves and a fire on the beach whilst soaking up the sunset was the isolation away from the world we were seeking. The islands provide the desired habitat for a lot of sea snakes so firewood was collected before any ceremonial rum drinking. Island Koukare has a natural huge shallow aquarium with more fish than water and a lightweight wetsuit would have extended our swimming time with the waters around 21°.

SAILING SOUTH PACIFIC

We were keen to sail the road less travelled and to avoid crowded locations. The Isle of Pines is on most people’s New Caledonia sailing agenda and authorities have restricted all anchorage areas except in the main Kuto Bay. We were happy to see most bareboats head towards the Isle of Pines – au revoir! The Loyalty Islands we had to ourselves as we did not come across another sailing boat and there were only a handful of boats around the Southern Lagoon, predominately locals. We enjoyed the company of the few sailors we did meet.

New Caledonia is an excellent sailing ground and we were grateful for the warm and friendly welcome we received. I thoroughly enjoyed the adventure sailing Arbois and the memorable time with Christine and our friends. Crew selection is important on any boat and no less so when you are together for 14 days. Whilst Dave and Sheree are not sailors their willingness to learn, contribute and be flexible made our holiday together successful and a lot of fun.

Christine and I are relatively new to sailing having discovered the CYCSA only two years ago. This trip was achievable for us by undertaking numerous Marine Academy training courses and the sailing experiences we have had with many generous and welcoming Club members. Thank you. I hope our New Caledonia experiences encourages other sailors to challenge themselves and embark on a sailing holiday.

SOCIAL ASSOCIATION

NIGHT On a coolish evening in September 240 members and guests came together to enjoy all things Italian. From the start the night was a fabulous success.

Italian performer, Angelo, entertained all night with our favourites, interspersed with good old-fashioned sing-along songs.

Bottles of Chianti on the table, to be enjoyed and utilised for the Italian candle, set the scene. Staff were attired in aprons to suit the Italian theme.

The CYCSA made the function run smoothly with a big thank you to Tommy who supervised the Dining Room with great efficiency and ensured that those who wanted seconds or even thirds were served promptly.

The great food kept coming.

I would like to recognised our main sponsor Stellar Hospitality aka Jim Rinaldi. The meal started with delicious Minestrone soup followed by servings of Beef Lasagne, Fettucine Puttanesca and Penne Con Pollo with great serving sizes and plenty available for seconds, accompanied by beautiful big bowls of salad and vegetables. To conclude, our Chef made the sinfully delicious Cannoli.

Well done and a big thank you to Chef Tony and his Team.

I would also like to express thanks to the rest of the sponsors who contributed towards the big raffle: Joe Mezzini and Giorgy Gauci, John Rynes, Nick George and the CYCSA. Rosemary Gould Social Association Chair

GARAGE SALE Sunday 13 October heralded the return of the CYCSA Garage Sale. The Social Activities Group had previously cleaned out its lockers and storage area and was all set for a quick sale.

Sunday saw several other members setting up their trestles and the Marine Academy also participated with plenty of items for sale. In addition a few articles were donated with any proceeds to be given to the Academy.

By 9.00am we were inundated with prospective buyers. One person’s trash must definitely be another’s treasure because by 10.15am the committee had sold practically every item we had marked to clear.

The other stall holders too enjoyed steady sales and when we closed up shop at midday everyone was happy. The funds raised from the sale of items by the Social Activities will be allocated towards the Children’s Christmas Party and upgrading items as required.

The event was such a success we decided to make it an annual event.

Mark Sunday 11 October 2020 in your Calendar and clear out your lockers and cupboards and make some cash for Christmas.

SOCIAL SCENE

CUP After days of wind and rain Tuesday 5 November arrived with welcoming warmth and sunshine. The Cruising Yacht Club of South Australia once again hosted an event with a carnival atmosphere for around ninety members and their guests to enjoy a delicious lunch and watch the 2019 Melbourne Cup. This year a glass of bubbly and delicious canapés were offered outside in the ceremony area.

A colourful array of fashions merged together; men wearing bright colours and women in pretty outfits, unusual hats and incredibly high heels moved around sipping and nibbling until it was time to sit down for lunch. Tables of ten then enjoyed a tasting plate entrée that included beetroot and goats cheese lasagne, Thai chicken spring roll with soba noodle salad, and pork and prawn dim sum with soy broth and it was as delicious as it sounds. Our compere, Traci Ayris, kept things moving between courses with a quiz about horse racing that had many people puzzled.

This year the sweepstake was different. Instead of picking a horse’s name from a box as in previous years, our manager Adam had set up a large whiteboard with columns and lines in which your name was written for a $1, $2 or $5 entry. Later each horse name was picked randomly and entered at the side of each row. The horse that won or had a place saw everyone in that row win a prize. Raffle tickets were sold for magnificent prizes ranging from a very good champagne, wine glasses, nuts and nibbles through to vouchers to dine at the club’s Admirals Bistro. Each prize was highly desirable and added to the excitement of the day.

Prizes were awarded for the best dressed, the best coordinated and the most outstanding outfit. With such an amazing collection of fashion it was difficult to choose but the winners, Helen,Vicky and Nancy, were delighted to be acknowledged for their style and flair.

The main course was an alternate drop of ginger and chilli steamed mulloway with carrot and quinoa salad, or lamb loin with pistachiojuniper crust, both served with seasonal greens and potato salad.

During the meal people were kept busy with the quiz. Each table filled in the answers and handed them in. The questions were hard, and the winning table did well to outsmart the rest.

The race began. Cheering and shouting echoed around the dining room until the winner, number 23, Vow and Declare, passed the post and the sweepstake winners for first, second and third collected their prizemoney. Dessert was a chocolate tart with strawberry essence, vanilla cream, blood orange sorbet and candied orange.

It was absolutely delicious. The staff were run off their feet throughout the day but always with a cheery smile. Before leaving, every member and guest received a bag containing the new official Club brochure, a small bottle of Dunes & Greene Pinot Noir, a Club notebook and pen and smaller items as keepsakes of another magnificent event at the Cruising Yacht Club of South Australia.

CRUISING ASSOCIATION

CRUISING ASSOCIATION UPDATE What a great start to the cruising season we’ve had! Lovely weather, light winds and generally smooth seas. I’ve seen lots of boats out in the Gulf taking advantage of our beautiful cruising waters and lots of members with friends and families in our stunning bistro area.

Opening Day was another fabulous event with a good turnout of colourful both sailing and power boats for the sail past.

THE OCTOBER LONG WEEKEND The weather was perfect over the October Long Weekend and several CYCSA boats cruised across the Gulf to various locations.

A number of boats made their way to Port Vincent and caught up with fellow Club members for sundowners or over a coffee in town.

A number of us also had an enjoyable Club dinner at the Ventnor Hotel on Saturday night.

CYCSA boats seen over the Gulf included: Academy 1, Aquila, Far Star, Jenny Anna, Julia, La Vie, Portia, School’s Out, Setanta and Sugar n Spice.

2ND SATURDAY OF THE MONTH BBQS Our casual BYO BBQs remain popular and are a great way to catch up with fellow Club members and meet new arrivals to our Club.

THE PORT RIVER MANGROVES CRUISE Despite the early shower and the cold and gloomy forecast, a faithful few met Marty and me at the Garden Island Boat Ramp for the much hyped Mangrove Tour 2019!

Perhaps it’s the spirit of adventure that just made us go!

Royce, Delene, Kevin, Mary, Roger, Di, Marty and I set off to explore our amazing mangroves in Port Adelaide squeezed into two rubber ducks. Well, actually, Marty and I had the club RIB and took Royce and Delene with us.

For several hours we explored the mangroves even stopping for morning tea while anchored just down from the wreck of the catamaran. The map we had was lacking in information as was Kevin’s GPS - oh yes, note to user, make sure you know if the depth sounder is set to metres or feet!!!

A wonderful, funny, exciting excursion was had by all. Marty thinks this should be an annual event with a focus on the environment. Watch this space for more info!

KI WATERS

of Dashwood One of the truly magical things about sailing is encountering dolphins. As with most things in life though, there are rules to follow.

For example, in South Australia, boats are not permitted to approach within 100 metres of a dolphin.

That being said, it is not an offence if dolphins approach you. If you are underway and dolphins approach your vessel you should maintain a steady speed and course. Sailing between the mainland and Kangaroo Island, ie, crossing Backstairs Passage, it is virtually impossible not to be approached by dolphins. Similarly, if you are stationary and they approach your vessel, you should remain stationary, do not weigh anchor and chase them!

As you can see from the photo, Dashwood Bay (35°35.35’S 137°23.14’E) is rather nondescript but it is blessed with a sandy bottom and offers shelter from southerly winds. Drop anchor over sand in the middle of the bay, slip into the water and wait for them to come to you.

Please don’t spoil it for others though, just drop anchor and wait.

Dolphins are naturally curious and more than likely they will come over to you.

Alan Noble

Now I’m going to let you in on a little secret. Dashwood Bay on Kangaroo Island, which is one bay west of Smith Bay, is THE place to spot dolphins.

Incredible discoveries await you!

BALLAST HEAD REMINDER

N

New Year’s Day 2020 will be the 18th anniversary of this iconic race sailed off beautiful Island Beach adjacent to American River on the sheltered northern coast of Kangaroo Island.

Over the years this event has played host to many yachts from Adelaide and beyond who have taken the opportunity to cruise these water over the Christmas/New Year break. Several yachts from American River and Kingscote join in the fun and a great time is enjoyed by all.

The course is set on the generally sheltered waters of Eastern Cove although a true northerly might stir the waves up to about half a metre and is sailed as two laps of a triangular course around easily identifiable marks. The fleet is split into higher and lower handicaps with the smaller yachts starting half an hour ahead of the bigger yachts and then everyone converges onto the beach for a barbecue, drinks and the trophy presentation.

Trophies are presented to keel boats for Fastest, Handicap 1st, 2nd and 3rd and to the first new entry on handicap. A multihull 1st on handicap trophy winner will be presented if three or more compete.

In early December a Notice of Race, Sailing Instructions and a course map will be emailed directly to previous entrants and the CYCSA office will supply these to other interested parties.

Please help make this 18th event a memorable one and ensure that the iconic race stays on the calendar. For further details you can telephone David Saies on 8356 2946 or email him on: davidsaies1@bigpond.com

AGM MINUTES C. OTHER BUSINESS Resolution 1: Establishment of the CYCSA Sinking Fund (Marina Berths & Associated Infrastructure).

After current Rule 3 (Powers), add new Rule 4 (Additional Powers) as follows: “4. Additional Powers Without limiting the powers of the Club in Rule 3 and to further carry out its objects, the Club shall have the following additional powers: 4.1 to establish, maintain and operate one or more special purpose funds on terms authorised by these rules or on terms and conditions as the Board thinks fit;” AND subject to such modifications to the rules being approved and finalised at this meeting, renumber (as appropriate) all subsequent rules down by one numbering level and up-date all rule references to ensure consistency in the rules for this added new Rule 4.

[Purpose: This proposed new Rule 4 (Additional Powers) is designed to supplement the existing Rule 3 (Powers) for more specific powers tailored to the Club’s needs. Rule 4.1 is a new power that authorises the establishment, under the rules or by authority of the Board, of one or more special purpose funds that the Club sees fit to create from time to time. Rule 4.1 is a pre-curser power to the establishment of the CYCSA Sinking Fund (Marina Berths & Associated Infrastructure) as described below at Resolution 2.

Additionally, certain other rules will be moved under this new Rule 4 as described in Item 10 (under Resolution 5 – Housekeeping) to ensure consistency in the style and construction of the rules.]

Proposed, Jonathon Harry Seconded,Vlad Humeniuk Voted, Chairperson declared motion passed.

The purpose of Rule 38 is to establish the CYCSA Sinking Fund (Marina Berths & Associated Infrastructure) in the way described.]

Proposed, Jonathan Harry Seconded, John Sibly Voted, Chairperson declared motion passed. Carried Resolution 3: Electronic Voting for the Election of Board Members at an AGM After current Rule 13.2 (Nomination) add the following new Rule 13.3 Election of Board by Electronic Vote (EVote) 13.3.1 If there are more candidates than there are vacancies to be filled, the Board may determine that the election of the Board shall occur wholly and exclusively by EVote and that all members entitled to vote in that election shall only be entitled to cast their vote by EVote (in lieu of a physical ballot paper).

13.3.2 If the Board determines that the election of the Board is to be undertaken by EVote in accordance with Rule 13.3.1: (a) the Board shall determine the method and process by which members can cast their vote by EVote (including procedures as to the form, timing and manner of giving an EVote) in order for that vote to be valid and formal in the election; (b) the Board shall ensure the anonymity of the members in casting their EVote (other than to the Auditor if required) and may consult with the Auditor as required in relation to the method and process of the EVote; (c) information and choices appearing in the EVote shall be similar in substance as if the vote had been conducted by physical ballot paper; (d) members shall have the same number of votes under their EVote as if the vote had been conducted by physical ballot paper; (e) if the election by Evote is to be conducted by poll each member entitled to vote in the election shall have the same number of votes under their EVote as if the vote had been required to be conducted under rule 13.5 (ie. Senior Members May Require Election By Poll); (f) the General Manager shall within fourteen (14) days of the closure of the nominations notify all members entitled to vote in the election all such information and instructions as may be necessary to enable those members to cast a valid and formal EVote in the election (in lieu of Rule 13.4.1 (i.e. General Manager to Send Ballot Papers)); (g) the General Manager shall report the final results and count of the EVote to the President or Chairperson of the Annual General Meeting at the appropriate time in that meeting; (h) the General Manager shall ensure that the EVote records and any audit trail of the same in relation to the election shall be retained for not less than one calendar month after the election result is announced at the Annual General Meeting and thereafter may be destroyed; (i) for the purpose of Rule 13.11.2 (i.e. Recount of Votes), the term “ballot paper” shall be read as “EVote records”; and

31

AGM MINUTES (j) the provisions of Rule 13.4 (i.e. General Manager to Send Ballot Papers), Rule 13.7 (i.e. Member to Complete Ballot Paper and Send to Auditor), Rule 13.8 (i.e. Counting of Votes) are all suspended.

13.3.3 If a member casts a valid and formal EVote in the election of the Board: (a) the EVote has the same effect as if the member has cast a valid and formal ‘Ballot Paper’ in the election at the Annual General Meeting; and (b) the member may not subsequently withdraw their EVote once received by the Club.”

AND subject to such modifications to the rules being approved and finalised at this meeting, renumber (as appropriate) all subsequent rules down by one numbering level and up-date all rule references to ensure consistency in the rules for this added new Rule 13.3.

Proposed, Ken Amos Seconded, David Roper Voted, Chairperson declared motion passed. Carried Resolution 4: Annual General Meeting – Change of Dates Current Rule 22.1 is deleted and the following substituted in its place: “22.1 An Annual General Meeting shall be held on a day in September each year at a time and place determined by the Board.”

Current Rule 22.2.6 is deleted and the following substituted in its place:“22.2.6 any other business of which written notice (signed by at least two Senior Members) shall have been given to the General Manager before the 8th day of August immediately preceding such meeting.” [Purpose: The purpose of this proposed new Rule 22.1 and 22.2.6 is to extend the date of the Annual General Meeting from August to September and the deadline for “any other business” from July to August. This change in the date of the Annual General Meeting will mean that the term for the Board members elected this year will be extended by about one month. At present, the timeframe to produce the audited accounts limits the time members have to consider and provide comment before the Annual General Meeting.

The “any other business” deadline is a set date to enable review by the Board and management in the August Board meeting.]

Proposed, Jonathon Harry Seconded, John Sibly Voted, Chairperson declared motion passed. Carried Resolution 5: General Housekeeping Amendments General Manager Substituted for CEO 1. References in the Constitution and Rules to the phrase “Chief Executive Officer” are deleted and substituted with “General Manager” in its place.

[Purpose: The purpose of this proposed change is to recognise that the position of Chief Executive Officer is being replaced with the position of General Manager. This is merely a change in title.]

Classes of Members – Affiliated Club Members 2. At the end of current Rule 4.1.10, remove the word “and” after the semi-colon “;”.

3. At the end of current Rule 4.1.12 replace the period “.” with “; and”.

4. After current Rule 4.1.11 add a new class of member by adding the following new Rule 4.1.12 and 4.1.13: “4.1.12 Affiliated Club Members.”

“4.1.13 Social Members 5. Move current Rule 5.14.2 in its entirety by renumbering the same as new Rule 4.3 (under current Rule 4.2).

6. Current Rule 5.14 (Interpretation) is deleted and the following substituted in its place: “5.14 Affiliated Club Members The Board may from time to time grant Affiliated Club Membership of the Club to members of any other club or association (whether in or out of the State of South Australia) whose members share similar interests with the Club and its members. Affiliated Club

32

In determining such matters, the Board may have regard to any reciprocal rights, powers, obligations and liabilities that may be offered to and incurred by Club members with such other club or association.”

7. At the end of the amended Rule 5.14 add the following new Rule 5.15:“5.15 Social Members Social Members shall be persons who have been admitted into the Club by the General Manager who have an interest in supporting the Club and its Objects and which members shall have such rights, obligations and liabilities as determined by the Board but always excluding any voting rights at any general meeting of the Club.”

[Purpose: The purpose of these proposed changes is to recognise that the Club may enter into relationships with other clubs or associations, for example the Naval, Military and Air Force Club of SA Inc and to enable a specific class of membership for Social Members. As a matter of housekeeping, the deleted Rule 5.14 (Interpretation) is moved in part to new Rule 4.3, as described above, with the balance (relating to the definition of spouse) to now appear in the general definitions at clause 37. The definition of spouse has been updated.]

Bankruptcy & Insolvency of Members 8. Current Rule 11 (Bankruptcy etc of Members) is deleted and the following is substituted in its place:“11.

11.2 The member’s rights and privileges shall immediately be suspended upon the occurrence of an event listed in Rule 11.1 (irrespective of whether the member has notified the Board of the relevant event) and the member shall be liable to be expelled as a member by a resolution of the Board provided that: 11.2.1 at least two (2) weeks before the meeting at which such resolution is passed, the member has been given a notice of the meeting and the intended resolution for the member’s expulsion; and 11.2.2 the member (or their authorised representative) shall at such meeting and before the passing of such resolution have had an opportunity to give oral or written submissions to the Board any explanation or defence the member thinks fit.

11.3 If the Board determines to expel the member: 11.3.1 the member shall remain liable for all the amounts and fees accrued to the Club to the date of expulsion, including unpaid subscriptions for the current year; 11.3.2 any rights or claims of the member upon the Club or its property shall immediately cease; 11.3.3 the member’s entitlement to hold a licence to occupy a berth at any of the Club’s marinas or to use a hardstanding berth on the Club’s premises and to hold units in the Unit Trust shall immediately determine and the Club may, in accordance with either Rule 8.3 or Rule 8.4 sell such licence and such units on the Member’s behalf

AGM MINUTES in exercise of the power of sale contained in such licence, as if the member had retired or died.”

AND subject to such modifications to the rules being approved and finalised at this meeting, up-date all rule references to ensure consistency in the rules for this new Rule 11.

[Purpose: Rule 11 has been updated to ensure it applies in the context of a member that is a company. Also, it has been updated to enable the expulsion of a member who or that has committed a serious criminal conduct. Additional update has been made to the consequences of expulsion.]

Admission of Members 9. Current Rule 6.1, 6.5 and 6.6 are deleted and the following substituted in its place:“6.1 Every candidate applying for admission to any class of membership (other than Life Member, Honorary Member, Temporary Member, Casual Member, Affiliated Club Member or Social Member) shall be proposed by a Senior Member and seconded by another Senior Member both of whom shall be personally acquainted with the candidate and shall vouch for his or her fitness for membership. If the applicant is unable to provide a Senior Member as a proposer and seconder of the application, a minimum of two referees may be considered as an alternative.”

[Purpose: This is to incorporate the two new membership categories, as per item 6 and 7 of this paper and to include an alternative option for new member applications if they are not personally acquainted with two existing CYCSA senior members] “6.5 Applications shall be submitted to the General Manager. The Board may delegate the admission of Temporary Members, Casual Members, Affiliated Club Members and Social Members to the General Manager.”

[Purpose: This is to incorporate the two new membership categories, as per item 6 and 7 of this paper, into the list of categories that the General Manager can be delegated to take responsibility for vetting their admission to the Club] “6.6 Subject to Clause 6.5 the General Manager shall place before the Board, at the next convenient Board Meeting after the application has been received, a list of applications for admission to any class of membership (other than applications for Senior Membership) and the Board shall either at that meeting or at a subsequent meeting review the list of applications.”

[Purpose: To further clarify the process of acknowledging the admission into membership of certain categories of membership other than Senior Membership which has specific instruction under Clause 6.7] 10. Move current Rules 2.6 to 2.15 in their entirety by renumbering the same in that order as new Rules 4.2 to 4.11 (after new Rule 4.1 – see Resolution 1 above).

[Purpose: Current Rules 2.6 to 2.15 are expressed as specific powers. These specific powers should not be listed under Rule 2 (Objects), as they are not part of the objects of the Club, and should instead be listed under a Rule more appropriate reserved for specific / additional powers. Accordingly, these are proposed to be inserted under new Rule 4 (Additional Powers) as described.]

11. At the end of current Rule 2.4, add the word “and” after the semicolon “;”.

[Purpose: Grammatical change for proposed changes.]

12. At the end of current Rule 2.5, remove the semicolon “;” and insert a period “.”.

[Purpose: Grammatical change for proposed changes.]
