CRUISING BUTTERFLIES
On Sunday 3rd April, South of Perth Yacht Club together
with Kalparrin hosted children with special needs and their
families for a great day on and off the water.
Thankyou to the 100+ volunteers and boat owners who
made the event possible. Over 15 Sail Boats and 20
Power Boats took the 120 children along with 80 carers
for a morning on the water. The families then returned
to the Yacht Club for a Sausage Sizzle lunch where they
were entertained by Connie the Clown. Many thanks goes
out to the boat owners, volunteers, SoPYC staff, Cruising
Committee and Kalparrin for all their efforts.
CHASE THE ACE IS BACK ON THURSDAY NIGHTS!
The Chase the Ace is back and running on Thursdays
evenings at the South of Perth Yacht Club.
Thanks to Lance who last week drew the Chase the Ace
ticket, Lance has been a club member for 48 years and last
Thursday celebrated his 96th birthday at the club. Happy
Birthday Lance!
Unfortunately he didn’t draw the winning ticket so the
jackpot has now reached $1050!
NEW MEMBER’S COCKTAIL PARTY
On Friday evening, South of Perth Yacht Club
officially welcomed our newest members to
the club at the New Member’s Cocktail Party.

Committee Members to meet in person those
whom have recently joined the club.
Membership Chairman Wayne Marshall
opened the proceedings for the evening,
introducing members to the Commodore, Past
Commodore and Management Committee.
Commodore, Mark Nicholas then presented

FLYING FIFTEENS UPDATE
A lightish westerly made a timely arrival for Sunday’s proceedings and the 11
boat fleet kept within shouting distance for most of the 3 races. John and Matt
(Ffast Lane 4 ) took the gun in each race with plenty of variation in the squabble
for the minor placings. Comprehensive results at the usual place on the club
website. The Easter break saw a quality fleet of 31 boats converge on the Royal
Perth Annexe for the State Championships run by Royal Freshwater Bay Yacht
Club. Boats from South of Perth were always in the mix although a range of starting related infringements
took the gloss off some fine performances. Former World Champions, Grant Alderson and Dean MacAullay
from RFBYC sailed consistently and kept out of trouble to win the Championship for the 8th time in the last
16 years. Nick and Janet Jerwood (Ineffable) won 3 heats but suffered some starting yipps to finish 5th overall
and the best South of Perth boat. Full results by following the links from the ffiwa web page (www.ffiwa.com)
Next week sees the blue ribbon event that is the Crews Race. This will be around fixed marks and should be
entertaining from a navigational stand point as well as seeing how various personalities adapt to a change in
roles.

WINTER SEASON BUSY BEE - APRIL 9/10
Date: Saturday 9th April and Sunday 10th April.
Time: 8.30am - 11.00pm
The Saturday Session will largely focus on the Western Hardstand and, Centreboard Club and surrounding
areas, and the Sunday Session on the area surrounding the Main Clubhouse. This arrangement is designed,
so far as possible, to allow work to be undertaken in timeframes when the usage of these areas is quieter.
Works will include: gardening, tidying, painting, sorting and removal of any miscellaneous junk, redundant
and broken signs and so on. Chris Paterson – Chairman Works Committee
