We had a fabulous New Year’s Eve celebration with several hundred guests enjoying the music and fireworks, was a great way to start the year. a personal level as well as growing within a team environment, giving them the ability to make group decisions, think on their feet and work together to get what they want. Together they gain skills that they will carry with them for the rest of their lives The Australia Day celebration was also a great success with $1263.00 raised for the Salvation Army. Power Boaties also have a full program for the year with 8 Predicted Log events and a large number of cruises organised for the year. The sailing calendar is full with the Fastway F18 NACRA Infusion World Championships held at Hollywell from Feb 2nd to 7th. A great week of racing with 21 boats from Australia, New Zealand and Oman competing. This event was followed immediately by the Great Race which is one of the longest Off the Beach Catamaran and Dinghy races in Australia. Full results can be found on page 27. This race starts from our sailing venue at Hollywell on the Gold Coast and finishes at RQYS in Brisbane sailing 37 nautical miles through the Broadwater channels and crossing Moreton Bay to the finish. The first race was held in 2005 and the event is building in numbers annually. We then follow up with the Sail Paradise Offshore Regatta on 15th to 17th March. This event will incorporate the Queensland IRC State Championships and the Go To Blazers Regatta. I am also very happy to announce that Southport Yacht Club has been selected to conduct the Australian National Etchell Championships in November. We are rapidly becoming a world recognised venue for sailing events, as well as a full calendar of club sailing events, Kelvin is a very busy man. We are also revamping the Southport Mentor program which was developed 4 years ago and is specifically for 14 to 18 year olds that want to learn to sail but for various reasons do not have the opportunity to do so. This is a unique program that strengthens their confidence, responsibility and independence on 4 | iN SYnC | Southport Yacht Club The Cruise guys volunteered their time and boats to act as stage boats for the Great Race which was greatly appreciated by the race organisers. Unfortunately we have had a couple of cruises cancelled by the weather, which brings me to the atrocious weather of the 26th/27th of January. The winds and high seas caused a lot of damage to the facility at Hollywell with the pontoon and walkway all but destroyed and most of the sand washed from the beach in front of the clubhouse. An enormous effort was required by volunteers and staff to repair as much of the damage as possible to allow us to run the FastWay F18 Nacra Infusion World Championships the next weekend. Particular thanks to Bob Little and Simon Restall who organised machinery and gave their time to restore the beach front to almost its former glory. I would also like to welcome Brett James to Southport Yacht Club. Brett has joined us as a Consultant to manage operations at Main Beach and commenced duties February 11th. Brett comes to us with a wealth of experience in club operations and is anxious to meet as many members as possible. The Board has also formed a committee to examine the Club Constitution with a view of making a submission to the next AGM with any recommended changes. Ian Hall Commodore Daniel Cadman Chairman Charman’s REPORT With almost another year down as Chairman of Southport Yacht Club’s Board I take pleasure in reflecting on the year gone by. We have seen many changes around the Club with new staff members such as Marina Manager Mark Riddell settling in so well he’s become a Member favourite, and the recent contract taken up by Operations Manager Brett James. I’m sure that many of you may have met Brett already and those of you that haven’t, then please make sure to stop by the Club and introduce yourself. Brett has a wealth of experience in a Members Club environment along with knowledge of Micropower, which is the POS and back office software we utalise. Micropower has been another implementation this year for Southport Yacht Club, this sees the Club using a fully integrated system both front and back of house which has consolidated the reporting structure for the accounting staff and is a powerful membership tool. In the coming months you will see some exciting new introductions with members card swipe in the Food & Beverage areas giving you greater access to discounts, points and loyalty options. Looking back over the sailing calendar, we have held successful regattas and races both at Hollywell and Main Beach, recently seeing the Nacra F18 hosted by Hollywell and the Etchells here at Main Beach. These have been a great asset to the Club in patronage, financially and marketing, via word of mouth from the many satisfied sailors we saw through the venues. Looking at Hollywell we have seen marked improvements in the facility over this year, with much appreciation and many thanks that must go to those Members who have had so much to do with getting this venue looking 1st class! There are too many of you to thank individually however your help, dedication and love of your Club does not go unnoticed. Main Beach has also seen a facelift, with our new furnishings throughout the Club giving us a bright and uplifting look. Thanks must go to our Ladies Associates for their generous funding and welcome help in selecting many of these improvements. I feel this has been a year of improvements, a year of changes and looking forward to a year ahead with so much more to come! If you haven’t been into either of the Clubhouse’s recently I can recommend that you do, I think you will be nicely surprised at the changes we have implemented. Daniel Cadman Chairman Southport Yacht Club | iN SYnC | 5 TREAT YOUR VESSEL TO THE “WORKS” As the name suggest, you get The Works; there’s nothing that your vessel may require that can’t be carried out at The Boat Works, located in the heart of the Gold Coast Marine precinct. The full complement of industry leading trades and services including anti-fouling, shipwrights, painting, sandblasting, airconditioning, refrigeration, stainless fabrication, electrical and engineering are all offered within the complex. The services offered by The Boat Works include boat lifting where a 70 tonne Ship Lift is capable of lifting monohull vessels up to 85 feet in length. Supplies Shop Complimenting both the boat yard and trade tenancies, the Boat Works Supply Store was set up back in late 2011 to supply customers in the boat yard with everything they need when having their vessel lifted in our yard for maintenance. We soon evolved into a leading trade supply shop here in the Gold Coast Marine Precent. The 45 tonne Sea Lift is utilised as a modern slipway and can bring a wider range of vessels such as Catamarans & Houseboats out onto the hard, into workshops or into the all weather covered bays. There is a range of work space options available from hardstand space up to 26 metres/85 feet, lockable sheds ranging up to 30 meters, as well as storage for masts and containers. There is a dedicated sandblasting bay for abrasive works as well as enclosed screens for the refit sheds which can be provided for environmentally sensitive works such as grinding and the spraying of antifouls or paints. Supplying the items you need when slipping your boat including antifouling bottom paint, marine paints and protective coatings. We are distributors for: Sigma Marine Coatings (PPG), Jotun Marine Paints, International Marine Paints, Altex Marine Paints, Clean a Boat Detailing Products, Farecla Polishes, Norton Abrasives, Federal Batteries, NCS Resins and Composites. All works can be carried out in a controlled environment. We are the ultimate all weather facility with over 20 refit sheds. We look forward to assisting you with the services your boat requires; keep in mind Southport Yacht Club Gold Members save 5%! NOTICE TO SYC MEMBERS Members please note as of Monday 4th March, 2013, there will no longer be A la Carte service in the Southport Yacht Club Waterfront Restaurant, this will assist us in providing Members and Guests with a more cost-effective, consistent and value for money menu. Due to the new point of sale computer system, Members must now present Membership Card to receive the relevant Member discounts. 6 | iN SYnC | Southport Yacht Club Southport Yacht Club | iN SYnC | 7 australia day 2013 Southport Yacht Club Australia Day celebrations at the Main Beach Clubhouse were again a great success attracting more than 300 people into the Waterfront Restaurant for an Aussie BBQ. With the unforunate weather, the Club celebrated the day with fun indoor Aussie activities including pumpkin rolling and thong tossing. Members and Guests joined together to organise the day, volunteering their time to decorate the venue with green and gold, Australian flags and hay bales. new years eve 8 | iN SYnC | Southport Yacht Club With a mega raffle, meat tray and chook raffles the volunteers raised over $1,100 for the Salvation Army 2013 Fundraising Appeal. Live Music from Abbigayle Anderson kept the dance floor filled, a great hit with Members and Guests. A big thank you to all Volunteers for their dedication and time throughout the day! Members and Guests celebrate the arrival of the New Year for 2013 in true style at SYC Main Beach and Hollywell. mathew belcher - london to rio 2016 Hi All, Well, it is a New Year and with it a new season has started. After our success at Sail Sydney just before Christmas, we finally had a nice and relaxing break – the first real break since the Olympic Games. It was great to have some down-time with our families and do some of the things that we are usually not allowed to do, like skiing. But now we are back on the boat and focused on the next season. We have already completed a few training camps in Sydney and on the Gold Coast. Things have been progressing quite nicely. Angus Galloway and Tim Hannah as well as the Crawford brothers have been joining us for most of our training. They have been keeping us on our toes and it is great to see these younger teams improving quickly. Gold Coast in particular whipped up some spectacular conditions, providing us with unique opportunities to push the limits and sail in extreme wind and waves. We have to admit, though, that we were a little scared at times. Some of those waves just seemed too big to sail down on… Plenty of photo opportunities for coach Victor! With the training camps behind us we are now ready for the Australian nationals, held from 14th - 17th January in Port Stephens, NSW. The waters here are a little flatter than the big swells offshore on the Gold Coast. Fourteen 470 teams will be competing, and the flat waters and shifty conditions here will certainly make for close and interesting racing. But it has not all been about sailing. I (Mat) am back at university, studying for my Master of Urban and Sustainable development. It has been a busy time juggling time between the boat and the classroom. To fill the rest of my spare time I have been down racing Optis against some of Australia’s best youth sailors at Southport Yacht Club and launching the new season at my former school, The Southport School. To see all these young kids coming into sailing and being inspired from the success of the Australian Sailing Team at the London Olympics is hugely rewarding. It reminds me of how I started sailing and why I am still here, striving for more. Happy Sailing, Mat & Will Now going into his 23rd year as a Member at Southport Yacht Club, 2012 Olympic Gold Medalist Mathew Belcher has been sailing at the Club since the young age of 7. Mathew is now sailing with Will Ryan under Coach Victor Kovalenko, competing for the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio. Southport Yacht Club wish Mathew and Will all the best! SYC is proud to be a Sponsor of Mathew and Will’s Olympic Campaign and will be following Mathew in his future sailing endeavors and keeping you all up to date with his acheivements. Southport Yacht Club | iN SYnC | 9 10 | iN SYnC | Southport Yacht Club sail paradise at southport yacht Club carols on the broadwater Southport Yacht Club celebrated their annual Carols on the Broadwater on Saturday 22nd December. Members and Guests enjoyed Christmas Carols from a local 12 piece roving choir. The kids were entertained by face painting and a visit from Santa with a sack full of lollies. Brian Surch from the Salvation Army also joined us for the Salvation Army Christmas Appeal. We would like to give a special thank you to Members and Guests who generously donated to this great cause. The evening was finished with a spectacular vessel parade, we thank all participants who helped light up the Broadwater and to congratulate Bob Kershaw who won Best Dressed Boat.

On average, we had 20-22 players for each game. The May Autumn Golf Tour was accommodated in Mooloolaba to play the Pelican Waters (Caloundra) and Palmer Coolum courses. The “unofficial” Spring tour played the Ocean Shores and Byron Bay courses, staying at the Lord Byron Resort. Regrettably, the number of players willing to travel were lower last year, to a level that barely justified the additional work of organising the tours. We hope that Tour interest levels in 2013 will be greater. The Commodore’s Trophy for 2012 (based on their best six games for the year) was won for the second time by Phil Kellond-Knight (326 points) with Eddie Allen in second place (325 pts), third place Captain Terry Stephenson (323 pts), fourth place Bill Gasston (322 pts) and fifth President Tony Bailey (321 pts). It was a very close competition with the law of averages favouring those players who played the most games during the year – it pays to be regular! The Golf Christmas Dinner in December was the occasion for the presentation of the Commodore’s Trophy by Commodore Ian Hall and much other merriment with about 40 players and consorts attending. Although many photographs were taken on that occasion, few are suitable for publication! We thank Southport Yacht Club for its part-sponsorship of the dinner and also for the restaurant prize certificates for each game. The golf courses for 2013 have mostly been booked now and for the first half will be: 4th February: Surfers Paradise 11th March: Palm Meadows 8th April: Hope Island May:Tour (location TBA) 10th June: Ocean Shores 8th July: RACV Royal Pines 12th August: Mt Tamborine 9th September: Gainsborough Greens Players Wanted – Come and Play A Round with Us. We are always looking for additional players for our events. Our optimal number of players is 24 per outing (friends and visitors are welcome). Our emphasis is on social camaraderie rather than cutthroat competition. Prices to play range from $57 - $75 per outing, which covers green fee, golf cart, burger-style lunch and prizes. Playing with SYC Social Golf Club is a very inexpensive and fun way to enjoy the great courses that we have on the Gold Coast. If you would like to be added to our email booking system to play, please contact Terry Stephenson at stib1@bigpond.com or 0419 666 605 for New Member Information (or ask SYC Reception for details). Tony Bailey Past President SYC Social Golf Club We thank President Tony Bailey, who is stepping down after six years in the role, for his excellent work administering the club. Programme for 2013: In the absence of any other volunteers, Captain Terry Stephenson has also taken on the President’s responsibilities of organising and administering the Social Golf Club for 2013. Tony Bailey, who is recovering from a hip replacement operation, will assist until a full-time President can be found.

The SYC and Mayor’s Xmas Carols had several boats dressed all over with lights, and though numbers were down those vessels participating put on a wonderful display for the crowds at the Mayors Broadwater Park and SYC’s Carols, hope we can encourage more entrants for next year. The Dux Broadwater series is sponsored by Jotun and the Wattyl Chairman’s trophy now behind us with some interesting results, these results are posted on the clubs website with many boats in tough competion trying for this season’s Club Champion. It was disappointing again for the Australia Day, 3 day Cruise which had to be cancelled. Checking back to 2012 Australia Day, the weather forecast which was almost exactly the same as 2013 saw 3 days of rain, and strong winds, but it was very encouraging to see over 20 boats registered for this cruise. Hope next year brings better weather, and surely we can’t have 3 wet Australia Days in a row that only happens in Tassie… The Great Race on Feb 9th from Hollywell to Manly, vessels from the SYC Cruising Flotilla and loggers filled the check point positions along the route between Hollywell and Victoria Point; RQYS vessels filled the check points north from Victoria Point up to Manly, with around 100 of the beach yachts from all categories taking part in this annual event, it was definitely a Great Race and all check point vessels look forward to next year’s event. The Commodores Trophy held on the first weekend in May, this has always been a long weekend event but now the Monday is no longer a public holiday the event will have to come back to a two day event with a Predicted Log course set starting around midday Saturday and returning to Canipia anchorage for Saturday night, and a presentation breakfast ashore on the Sunday, this will allow vessels to depart around 11.00am to return to their berths before dark. More details on this at our next log event presentation.

The Oxenford family have been on the Gold Coast since at least 1869 (that’s about 80 years before the area became the Gold Coast). Chris is a descendent of W.R.Oxenford who had taken up 90 hectares of land near Coomera River establishing a farm. When the railway was put through in 1889 a siding on the Oxenford land was called Oxenford Siding, as the town grew around the railway it eventually was officially named Oxenford. Chris has owned “Faiwinds” since 1986. The boat was built in a backyard in Scarborough Street, Southport in the 1960s. Joe Haywood had built a number of boats behind his house at the northern end of Scarborough Street. He started building “Fairwinds” but for an unknown reason he could not complete it and the project was taken over by Alf Kerven and Ken McMillan, they finished it and “Fairwinds” was lowered into the Broadwater by crane near the original Grand Hotel in (we believe) 1966. Chris had became involved in Predicted Log Events at SYC in the seventies helping on other members boats. When “Fairwinds” was offered for sale by it’s second owner, Graham “Lofty” Miller Chris took the plunge and became the proud owner. Chris was attracted by the classic trawler style and walk around decks of “Fairwinds.” Chris entered his first “Log” event in 1986 as a skipper. It took a few years for Chris to fully understand how to be really competitive in these events. He says that the advice from the very experienced yachtsman and “logger”, Malcolm Wood, put him on the right track to be successful. and “Fairwinds” has always been one of the clubs most consistent boats in the annual Goodwill Cup against RQYS. Chris is a very dedicated and active SYC member, he has been a Power Boat Committee member and Chairman, Rear Commodore and was Club Commodore in 2000 and is currently a SYC Board member. “Fairwinds” was originally powered by a 671GM, it was repowered about 5 years ago with a 6 cylinder Perkins diesel. Chris has made some others changes over the years including adding a genset, hot water, holding tank, modern electronics, while respecting its classic lines and maintaining it in pristine condition. “Fairwinds” is a traditional timber, trawler style hard chine boat of 34 feet, and draft of around 4ft. Chris has ventured out through the Seaway on fishing days, but “Fairwinds” is really a classic “baycruiser “ so ideally suited to the Broadwater, Moreton Bay and it’s many rivers and inlets. It cruises extremely economically at 7knots and cuts through the water effortlessly, causing minimum effect on the environment and other people enjoying our magnificent waterways, and it surely will keep doing that for many years to come. Article by Dennis Watt Chris with his wife, Barbara, and a few different navigators have competed in “log” or Navigational Events ever since, collecting along the way two Club Championships and numerous individual event wins Southport Yacht Club | iN SYnC | 21 cruising @ southport yacht Club The Cruising Flotilla’s last event for 2012 was the Christmas Lunch. This was held on the eastern lawn of the Yacht Club on Sunday 2nd December. This was an enjoyable day for all attending, with some bringing family members and grandchildren to see Santa. The weather was kind to us that day. Some brought their own lunch, others used the barbecue facilities, and others ordered from the Club menu. Santa arrived with his sackful of presents for all who had been good during the year, surprisingly no one seemed to miss out. Our thanks go to Santa (John Lord) for doing such a great job ably assisted by his helper (Susan Hall). I think they were glad to shed their suits as it was such a hot day. The grandchildren in attendance were all happy to receive their presents from Santa. Christmas cake was also served to all. Australia Day was to be our next cruise going to Dux for a barbecue and Australia Day celebrations. Unfortunately this cruise was cancelled due to the wild winds and rain. This was a repeat of last year’s cruise which was also cancelled. Keep your fingers crossed that next year brings us a beautiful weekend. Due to the cancellation of this cruise it was decided to have the next cruise as a delayed Australia Day celebrations therefore we are going to Dux and hold our celebrations with varied activities for all. Future cruises are listed on the Club website and also published in the weekly E-News. We have a few new cruisers to the flotilla and look forward to seeing them on future cruises.

It is anticipated for implementation during 2013-14. The AWQ will become the mandatory requirement to operate a VHF radio said ACMA last week in issuing the final outcomes paper into its review of recreational boaters’ usage of VHF broadcasting. For more information please visit the AMC Website: www.amc.edu.au formation of the royal australian navy Part 1. How Old is Australia’s Navy… This might seem a simple question, but over the years the Australian Navy’s birthday has remained a source of some confusion. The date now accepted is 1st March 1901. The previously accepted date of 10th July 1911 is not the birth date of Naval Forces in Australia; rather it was the date that Sovereign granted the title “Royal” to Australian Navy. In 1904 Captain Creswell embarked on a program designed to breathe new life into the Commonwealth Naval Forces operations. CNF warships had been designated His Majesty’s Australian Ship (HMAS) but this had never received the King’s sanction. During a visit to London for the Coronation of King George V, Australian ministers made known their desire to have the prefix “Royal” attached to the Australian Navy’s title. In December of 1907 Alfred Deakin announced that the CNF would expand to include a flotilla of submarines and coastal destroyers, and in February 1909 Australia’s Naval representative in London requested for the first three vessels, the destroyers Parramatta, Yarra, and Warrego. At the Imperial Conference the admiralty suggested that the CNF expand to include a self contained “Fleet Unit” based on a Battle Cruiser and several light Cruisers. On 10th July 1911 King George approved the request, (with great satisfaction) The decision was promulgated to the CNF on 5th October 1911. There after the officially became the Royal Australian Navy (RAN). The CNF inherited a motley collection of obsolescent coastal and harbor defence vessels when the State Navies transferred to the Commonwealth control in 1st March 1901. As a result, the Defense of Australia’s sea lanes remained the responsibility of the Australian Squadron of the Royal Navy. Jackie Fisher the First Sea Lord of the British Admiralty approved an immediate construction of an Australian Fleet Unit. The Unit was to comprise of a Battle Class Cruiser, and three Bristol Class Unarmored Cruisers, six River Class Destroyers, and three “C” Class Submarines. The cost to Australia was to be Three million .695 pounds. Australia’s drive to provide for its own Naval Defense, culminated on 4th October 1913 when the fleet of seven ships, led by the battle cruiser HMAS Australia, light cruisers’ HMAS Sydney, Melbourne, Encounter and Destroyers Warrego, Parramatta, and Yarra. All proudly sailed into Sydney Harbour to the wild acclaim of the public. This year an International Fleet Review (IFR) in Sydney Harbour, will mark a very special centenary. An International Armada of 40 warships will steam into Sydney Harbour marking 100 years since the first arrival of Australia’s Naval Fleet. The IFR will be one of the most spectacular events ever hosted by the Royal Australian Navy. Other events will include Tall ships from around the world who will be visiting as well as and several fly pasts by Navy, Army, Commercial and Civilian aircraft. With 10,000 sailors in Sydney a march past from all visiting warships with Naval bands is scheduled and many Naval reunion’s and open ships for visitors. Southport Yacht Club | iN SYnC | 23 southportmentor yacht Club @ hamilton island race week sailing -@southport MATTHEW PERCY VICE COMMODORE SAIL Hi All, It has been a very busy summer sailing season at our Club this year, once again the Club has hoisted a number of exciting events, including an International Event, “The F18 Nacra Infusion World Championships”, State Titles, “The Etchell QLD State Championships and Special Events like the Offshore “Surf to City” , Inshore “The Great Race “, “Cook Island” and “The Classic Julian Rocks 100” Offshore races, along with the normal Club events for our members, the sailing office has been counting and its about 700 sporting events this year. Sure some fleets are not getting the numbers we would like but other fleets are going and producing some fantastic sailors. As I travel around and meet other Club Officials, read the media reports the sport is in decline in many areas of the country, I don’t think there is one soul reason for this, there are the usual suspects like cost, time, travel and my favourite there are so many other things to do these days. Now it’s true we are feeling it with our Gold Membership and the Club Membership is ageing, but maybe the sport (national, state associations and some clubs) has lost a little focus over time and forgotten the basic sail training, coaching and a safe controlled introductions to our sport. However I think that this is one area where Southport and Hollywell has bucked the trend, over several years the Board, Associates, and most Members have encouraged the younger Members of our Club and as a result have a very healthy Junior Programme, the envy of most Clubs I would suggest. 24 | iN SYnC | Southport Yacht Club This however is not free or cheap, it does cost a lot of money to resource our sport. Over time the rules on safety and rescue boats have changed, the equipment is no longer made with Dad and mates under the house, and Mum refuses to repair sails (because the sewing machine is long gone). It’s becoming expensive to play our game and have fun on the water. So as the Sailing Commodore I would like to on behalf of all our sailing crews, from the young Sunday morning learners, to the very old and salty parents that have produced some fantastic results once again and enjoyed what this Club is trying to produce. A safe, friendly, cheerful, healthy, learning environment for everybody. THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH. To everyone the money is well spent on our future. The youth of the Club! And Country! So the next big event is the XXXX Sail Paradise Regatta on the 15th to 17th March, which this year will also be the Queensland IRC Championships, so far there is some interest going within the local fleets and its shaping up to be a great three days of racing. There will be over six different classes compete from Trailer Boat’s, Catamarans to the 66 foot swing keeled Black Jack. So thank you to the Volunteers, (our club has the best) Staff that will have to put up with some merry crew’s, and Management that will ensure the event goes off without a hitch. Matthew Percy Vice Commodore Sail 29er nationals and australian youth nationals For the 2012/2013 sailing season, the 29er Australian Championships were held on the waters of Port Phillip Bay out of McCrae Sailing Club on the Mornington Peninsula. With a team of Southport sailors heading down for the event, the months of training together during the year ensured a tightly knit team. Our fleet of 29ers had grown considerably since the year before. In 2011 we had only one 29er on the water during the week but we now have 7 boats in the yard and training as a group every week. It is really exciting to see the younger sailors stepping up into the 29er class from Optimists and Sabots. Contending at the Nationals we had Claire McInally sailing with Florian Hagen (our German friend), Kyle O’Connel with Shon Mori and myself sailing with Tom Siganto. As this Regatta made part of the selection for the one boat to earn a place in the Australian Youth Sailing Team to compete in Cyprus, there was a lot on the table. Day one brought 30kts of wind and a 1.5m chop which turned out to be too much for the fleet and after limping around on the racecourse for a while we were sent back to the beach to reset for the next day. Day two was again very windy averaging around 23kts for the 3 races. Tom and myself had a fantastic day to begin the regatta with a 1,2,3 to give us the overall lead. The rest of the Regatta provided some very tricky racecourses and some great talent was shown from other sailors. After 4 days of racing us Aussies unfortunately let a New Zealand team get the better of us as they stole the overall win from Harry Price who was first Australian. Our fellow QAS sailors of Charlie and Lewis finished 3rd and Tom and myself in 4th overall. Kyle and Shon finished their first Nationals together in 31st overall and 3rd Junior team. Claire and Florian also sailed well as a new team to place 22nd overall and 3rd mixed crew. For those of us who continued on to Hobart for the Youth Nationals, the competition was still on as the spot for the Youth Team was still up for grabs as both of the regattas count to the selection. On the barge we went over to Tasmania, which provided us with the hottest day on record (41.9), lots of wind, no wind and then freezing temperatures. The weather was always expected to be completely unpredictable which is dangerous when the competition is so intense. We had some crazy racing that’s for sure! One of the race days we started in around 3kts which then built to 30kts so we were consequently sent ashore where we then waited 3 ½ hours before returning to the racecourse and racing in 10-25kts which was shifting up to 40kts! It was full on! It was important to keep a cool head and be able to switch back into race mode when we needed to. Tom and I sailed quite well throughout the Regatta but didn’t quite “nail it”. We were left with 3rd overall behind the same two boats from the Nationals. Kyle and Shon finished 22nd overall struggling a bit with their light weight in the strong breezes. Yes, this meant that Tom and I did not regain our position in the Australian Youth Sailing Team that we were in last year. This was very disappointing for us but on the flip side it was quite a happy moment because it meant we now move forward. Tom is now in a crewing position with new skipper Charlie Wyatt from Brisbane and loving every bit of it. I have now begun my campaign in the 49er class with Lewis Brake also from Brisbane. (Charlie and Lewis were the 29er team that came 2nd in front of us at the Regatta’s). Tom and I definitely had a fantastic 2 years in the 29er together and hopefully we will continue to work our way up in the rankings overtime in our new journeys. Finally, I need to give a huge thank you to Southport Yacht Club, which continues to support all the sailing out of Hollywell. A big thanks goes to all our parents who travelled with us all the way to Hobart and back and a special recognition needs to go to Shane Smith who has spent a massive amount of time helping us prepare for these Regatta’s. All of the great sailors coming out of our club are due to Shane’s coaching and time towards the sport. Article by Joel Turner Junior Commodore Southport Yacht Club | iN SYnC | 25 sailing - F18 NACRA INFUSION WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS 2013 ADAM BEATIE AND JAMIE LEITNER WINNERS OF THE 2013 NACRA INFUSION WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP! Australian entrant Adam Beatie with Jamie Leitner winners of the 2013 F18 Nacra Infusion World Championships with a score of 20.8, they managed to take the lead from local Brisbane sailor Mick Guinea, whom came from a strong lead to place 2nd and loose the regatta by only .2. Competitors joined together on the Gold Coast for the World Championships from all around World including Australia, Oman, Thailand, The Netherlands, Brazil, Canada, New Zealand, and Germany. On Sunday 3rd February, the Gold Coast saw the beginning of the 2013 F18 Nacra Infusion World Championships, hosted from Southport Yacht Club’s Hollywell Sailing Squadron. With heavy winds and testing conditions all three race’s were held on the Sunday from but unfortunately due to strong winds Monday was abandoned. However even with strong winds, Tuesday’s racing was underway, due to two broken masts only one race was conducted. Wednesday and Thursday races were well underway with four races each day from the scheduled three races each day. “Sailing on Thursday was fantastic, although with the challenges of light wind, up and down pressure conditions, Thursday’s racing was more like Champagne Sailing, with the perfect Queensland sailing weather, this last race really decided who was to be the World Champion for 2013”, said Principle Race Officer, Ross Wilson. 26 | iN SYnC | Southport Yacht Club Ross Wilson also said “he was surprised by the tremendous sailing conducted by Musab Al-Hadi and crew member Ahmed Al-Balushi from Oman. They were one of the more very competitive entrants in the lighter breezes, sailing better in the light wind than most. Finishing fourth was an absolute credit to them as they have not sailed under these sea conditions with strong swells and big waves off the Queensland Coast”. Another surprise was Miranda Powrie from New Zealand finishing 10th in her first Nacra Infusion World Championships. After years of sailing in a Lazer Radial, Miranda is now focusing on her Olympic Campaign to sail in a Nacra 17. Ross Wilson would like to thank Southport Yacht Club’s Sailing Administrator, Kelvin Holdt and race management team for their fantastic efforts throughout the regatta. Everyone from the Race Management, Race Officers and Entrants had a great World Championships and look forward to be back at Southport Yacht Club for another regatta. A big thank you also to Fastway Couriers for their Sponsorship of the regatta. sailing - the great race Article by Colin Metcher The ninth running of the great race was held in perfect weather with calm patches and a beautiful spinnaker run across Moreton Bay. This led to 100% finishing rate for all competitors. Numbers were down this year due to several factors, the most influential being clashing with other events. For instance we would normally expect 4 or 5 29ers from our Club alone, but they were competing interstate. For this reason a change of date is likely from the traditional February to later (possible March). Inclusion of a half marathon reinstalled a division which was run in the first great race (but discontinued) was successful and will be built for next year. Several other innervations in the pipe line together with more convenient date will see the event regain entry numbers. The actual conducting of the event was excellent and the huge effort by volunteers is a major factor in the success of this iconic event. It is the longest passage race for dinghies in Australia (any maybe for Multihulls) and due to the challenges of narrow tidal waterways opening up into the wide expanses of Moreton Bay, combined with the stamina required of the crews makes it a truly testing race event. An outstanding achievement was by Jaime Metcher who was the first sailor to complete The Great Race on a sail board. In a time of 5 hours and 45 minutes. While sailed in several classes with separate results the big award is the Perpetual Shield for the Overall Winners of the Monohull and Multihull Classes, the other big challenge is the race records, however these were not broken this year. 1st Overall Monohull: ‘Cool Change’ A Sportskiff, Colin Metcher and Brett Ryman. 1st Overall Multihull: ‘Magic Marine’ Nacra Infusion, Adam Beattie and Jamie Leitner. 1st Division Winners Col Metcher & Brett Ryman on Sports Skiff, ‘COOL CHANGE’ Results: Division 1 1st Cool Change - Sports Skiff, Col Metcher & Brett Ryman 2nd Nightmare On Elm Street - MGB, Peter & Sophie Lahey 3rd Don’t Panic - MG14, Chris Larsen Michael Hood Division 2 1st Cropduster - Musto Skiff, Michael Spies 2nd Total Spank - 16ft Skiff, Jess Hansen, Angus Morrison & Jackson Craintelo 3rd Leeroy Jenkins - Foiling Moth, Mark Hughes Division 3 1st Allante - Nacra 5.8, Guy & Tracy Obren 2nd SOS - Hobie 16, Bruce Tardrew & Sarah Turnbull 3rd Concept Systems 2 - Hobie 16, Murray Peterson & Jessica Watson Division 4 1st Magic Marine - Nacra Infusion, Adam Beattie & Jamie Leitner 2nd Smoke Bomb - Viper F16, Matt Horman & Nathan Vanderchof 3rd Switch - Viper F16, Adrian Fawcett & Jess Dobie Division 5 (1/2 Marathon) 1st Loitering With Intent - Weta, Greg Schofield 2nd Weta - Kevin Bates 3rd Windrider 17, Grant & Naomi Grant Southport Yacht Club | iN SYnC | 27 gold coast sailability @ southport yacht Club On Tuesday the 22nd of January our first day of sailing for 2013 it was very pleasing to welcome (at the invitation of Marion Ham) Dr David Straton, Dr Graham Sivyer, Cathy Post and Len Mossop as our guests.

We welcome enquires from anyone with a disability who would like to experience the pleasure and benefits of time on the water any Tuesday. Bryce Wilson Sailability Gold Coast President. It was extremely gratifying to hear our visitors expressing their complements and pleasure in seeing how a very small group in 1997 with one sailing dinghy and six sailors had grown to the organisation that it is today. With the cooperation and assistance of Southport Yacht Club over the years, we now see up to a hundred sailors enjoying freedom on the water in our fleet of fourteen sailing dinghies and four yachts on any given Tuesday. Sailability now operates in over twenty countries and we believe that Sailability Gold Coast with our inventory of vessels and equipment along with the facilities from which we operate puts us up there with the best of them. Seeing a greater number of sailors with disabilities competing in opensailing competitions is an objective we would very much like to work towards achieving.

Jack has now increased his best average speed to 29.1kts, not far off the record of 32.9kts set by Tom Slingsby in December. Jack’s family and the Southport Yacht Club are very proud of his acheivements over the past year. Jack has really stepped up another level since competing at the Worlds in Lake Garda. His boat is tuned to perfection with the help of his Dad, Brian who has put many hours into it. He had a great regatta at Sail Sydney, finishing in 7th place overall ahead of 2 Olympic Gold Medalists, Tom Slingsby and Iian Jensen. The National regatta at Wangi Wangi was held from 6th to 12th January. The conditions were very hot and most days the breeze was around the 15 to 20kt mark. He was competing in a fleet of 67 boats with 3 Olympic Gold Medalists, a Silver medalist, World Champions, Australian Champions, America’s Cup Sailors and several professional sailors. Although he didn’t win a race he managed to cross the line at some point during the 15 race series in front of every other competitor. His best race result was a 7th and his worst was 22nd (not including drops). Pretty good considering the calibre of sailors he was up against. He finished just one place behind Gold Medalist, Nathan Outteridge with only 2 points between them. Nathan Outteridge stated at the end of the regatta that it was without a doubt the highest level of racing he has seen in the class. One article written about the nationals noted that “apart from the Americas Cup you probably won’t see a better start list of skippers in any event. These are superstars of not just this class but all high performance sailing”. Jack finshed a very impressive 13th overall and was crowned the Junior Australian Moth Champion for the third time running, a feat that has not been acheived since 1963. Although he is classed as a junior in the Moth Class, he has turned his efforts towards the open fleet and has surpassed all of our expectations. Jack’s most valued reward was being personally congratulated on his efforts by Tom Slingsby, Nathan Outteridge, Scott Babbage and the designer of the Mach 2 Moth, Andrew Macdougall. On the calendar for 2013 will be the NSW State Titles to be held over the Easter Weekend and hopefully following up with the 2013 Moth Worlds to be held in Hawaii in October. Jack greatly appreciates the support he receives from the Southport Yacht Club and it’s Members. We wish Jack all the best in 2013! fender party - raising money for hollywell marina Southport Yacht Club would like to thank all of the Members for joining in with the fun of the Fender Party, held at Hollywell’s Sailing Squadron on Friday 7th December, the event was held to raise money for new fenders at Hollywell. Many sponsors came on board and donated goods to be raffled. A big thank you to Steve Quan who donated a Waeco Fridge Freezer which was won by Sailability Volunteer, Ian Salmon and Lesley Skipp who donated $400 worth of Billabong product.

Southport Yacht Club | iN SYnC | 29 surf to city yacht race Dad’s Play! Its one of those moments in life, that imprints on your memory, when, after years of being left on the shore with anticipating eyes, as your dad sails away to fly a hull, you are finally allowed to crew on dad’s toy! So was the case, for Ned Overell, one of SYC Sailing Squadron’s high performance squad members, who recently participated in the 2013 Surf to City Race, on Lightwave Raider One Design. Joining other crew members, Roger Overell (dad), Jaibon Crisp, John Dickson, & Llyod Crisp, Ned’s introduction to bigger boat racing was enjoyable, with light conditions making way for a long race. Dad’s toy: Lightwave Raider One Design There was friendly rivalry as competing crews from Lightwave & AYS Raider One Design catamarans participated in the race, and Ned was keen to point out that they won against AYS Raider, who retired (when in the lead J) owing to the light conditions and evening social commitments (oh yeh, very serious racers!!). Race rules require children under 16 to have a statement of experience to permit participation. Head coach, Shane Smith, of Sailing Racing Solutions, was confident in Ned’s sailing experience for participation in the Surf to City Race. Roger Overell comments “Sailing is an incredibly enjoyable sport for kids and great life skill. It is a joy when your family share your passion. Participating in the excellent youth sailing programme at SYC Sailing Squadron offers many opportunities to young sailors. I was proud to have Ned crew for us and the other crew members were delighted with his assistance. Unfortunately, his experience won’t stack up for our next race, the Brisbane to Gladstone, but he’s aspiring to join us in a few years ”. Ned Overell, one of SYC Sailing Squadron’s high performance squad members prepares for the start of the 2013 Surf to City race, with Lightwave & AYS Raider One Design crews. This years race saw 9 Southport Yacht Club yachts sailing on the inshore course and 4 yachts on the offshore course. The day began with some very light breeze out of the east and with a northerly forecast it was looking like a long upwind slog to finish in Shorncliffe for the competitors.

We have heard and watched many tragedies but most of all shared the inner fight we Aussies display in these testing times. Within our own ranks a couple of farewells. Past President Margaret Paterson lost her husband Graham after a long illness. Carmel Nicholas (past treasurer and hopeful to return) had a hugely unexpected loss of her husband David and Leonie Bell (current committee member) fell and incurred multiple breaks not only in one wrist but both. Hard knocks, but watch this space as the “fight” comes out in these strong women who will overcome and return stronger. Our first event for 2013 was the brain child of Jeni Bone our youngest member of the committee. Jeni arranged for David Hill, former Chairman of ABC and NSW Rail turned author to present and book sign at a fabulous function at the Club in February. Ray McMahon from Hot Tomato took the MC reigns and drew out amazing stories from David on his transition from head honcho to the dedicated research required to complete his series of books. David’s books sold out in minutes, all with a personal message from David, however, if you missed out, new stock is coming into Luv That Book at Helensvale. Congratulations to my committee, hostesses of the day. Everything ran so very smoothly. The staff was super attentive and Chef Simon delivered the most exquisite food for our lunch. Jeni Bone gained new sponsors including Songbirds in Mt Tamborine, Audi Centre Gold Coast for providing their brand Q3 and Q7 on display as well as a prize – on loan of course! QT Surfers Paradise, Australian Gourmet Hampers, Wild Oats and our ever faithful Zeppelin Travel also provided to ensure our guests had fabulous prizes. So onto our next project which is our famed North Straddie Getaway revisited after 3 years. An absolutely full day from brekkie to sunset cocktails but it is very limited to the capacity of the coach so don’t wait! Bookings are open now. Until next time.
