COMMODORE’S REPORT
BSYC ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING
FRIDAY JUNE 24TH 2016 AT 8PM
AT THE CLUBHOUSE.
Whilst appointed Officers,
Committee Members and staff do
their best to administer the Club
daily the Club is there for all
members; the Club is yours.
Each AGM is where we review and
account for our activities, report our
financial status and elect / re-elect
Members to Office.
Please find a short time to attend;
parking should not be a problem like
in summer.
It is fairly dispiriting when so few
attend.
If you further have some time and
skills to offer you should consider
participating in some position or
some part of the team that keep the
Club going. We have a lot happening
at the moment and it does not
happen by itself. There are positions
to be filled. Feel free to call me (0417
806 851) to discuss.
Why don’t you come early with some
family or friends for the other ‘AGM’
(another great meal) upstairs. Meals
start from 6 pm. Have a big night out
and catch up with your sailing mates.
SHEDDING REPORT
The gestation period for an elephant
is 22 months. Our Shed is now 24
months from the announcement of
the Holdfast Bay Council Grant for its
JUNE 2016
construction. The lifting of the
Heritage Order, the planning and
preliminaries and earlier tender
process have taken time.
The tenderer has been selected and
the work is about to start.
In early September we hope to
announce the safe arrival of a
healthy new shed. With a month or
so to construct new boat storage
racks and configure the Courtyard
area we should be functional for the
next season and especially the
National Champs that we are
scheduled to host in Jan 2017.
The Club’s principle planners /
council liaison personnel have been
Peter Gold and Tony Colliver. Much is
owed to these two gentlemen and
their magnificent Wednesday
Working Group who have carried out
so many tasks lately related to the
preparation for the shed and more
recently the rebuild of the Mariners
Bar, southern end. Without the
support of this group of people the
project would have been in
significant trouble.
It is clear that there may be a handful
of boat spaces short of the previous
number but we will have a central
courtyard area which may house
some boats with mast up. Let’s see
how we go. Storage conditions must
be closely adhered to for those
taking up storage. Some 20 boats
have preserved their positions by pre
paying for storage.

Australian Sports Foundation
Last month I touched upon the
opportunity for tax deductable
donations to the Club, for one or
other of two nominated projects.
David Belford writes further on this
issue in this Log Book.
The Commodore’s Ball is on
Saturday 18th June. If you are a late
starter for this function and it is
before the 18th we may be able to fit
you in. Call the office and join this big
night out.
See you at the AGM or Ball.
Bruce Noble Commodore.
PROPOSED CHANGES TO THE BSYC
CONSTITUTION
At this year’s AGM on Friday 24 June,
one important item on the agenda
will be a revised Constitution for the
Club. A motion to change to our
Constitution requires at least 60%
support from full members present,
so please come along to hear about
the changes and have your say.
Notes and explanations of the
proposed changes are at the end of
this Log Book, and the list below
provides an overview. Apart from a
change to the Constitution at the last
JUNE 2016
AGM to include the category of
Volunteer Member, there has not
been a review of the document for
six years, so in addition to
modernizing and restructuring it,
there are many changes for
members to consider, including:
1. Without minimizing our
primary function as a yacht
club, we have broadened our
objectives to encourage social,
educational, leisure and
compatible sporting activities.
2. Membership remains largely
unchanged, apart from the
proposal to rename the
Volunteer Member category to
Supporting Member to better
reflect the active contribution
these members make to the
Club.
3. We have emphasised the
importance of maintaining a
business/corporate culture
within the Club in recognition
that these activities and the
support of the local community
are essential to our long term
viability.
4. The roles and responsibilities of
the Officers of the Club and
Management Committee have
been given broad definitions.
5. Management Committee
responsibility for good
operational and fiscal
governance in the context of
legislative requirements has
been included.
Page 4
JUNE 2016

6. Some sections which repeat
requirements of the
Associations Incorporation Act
(SA) 1985 have been removed
along with Club By-Laws, which
are a responsibility of the
Management Committee.

THUNDERBOLT AND LIGHTNING,
VERY, VERY FRIGHTENING!
Quoted from a well-known song…
one of the best for a karaoke team
effort!
http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/quee
n/bohemianrhapsody.html
Lightning is most commonly
produced by thunderstorms.
However, there are numerous forms
of lightning, for the more
scientifically inclined take a visit to
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lightni
ng
What does this have to do with
sailing you may ask? Well the spars
on your boat conduct electricity and
a boat with a mast increases the
chance of getting struck by lightning.
An interesting article on the
probability factors can be found at
http://www.sailingscuttlebutt.com/2
015/02/19/lightning-facts-analysislightning-strikes/
Luckily in Adelaide, the number of
thunderstorm days is a lot lower
than those of Sydney, Brisbane or
Darwin.
JUNE 2016
Overhead electricity wires, also pose
a very dangerous threat. One of my
primary school teachers lost his life
whilst standing in a boat, holding the
mast as it was driven under some
wires in a car park at Goolwa. The
mast came in contact with the
overhead wires.
Always de-rig your boat in an area
free from overhead wires before
transporting.
Interesting facts:
. Whilst the temperature of a
lightning bolt can be up to 5 times
hotter than the surface of the sun,
you might only receive some minor
burns due to the limited duration of
the charge. The danger comes from
damage to the nerves from
electricity.
. The speed of light is much faster
than the speed of sound. You can
estimate the distance of the
thunderstorm/lightning by counting
the time difference between seeing
lightning and hearing thunder. The
storm is about 1 km away for every 3
seconds.
. Lightning strikes can occur intracloud, cloud to cloud or cloud to
ground. Some are easily spotted
associated with a distinct
thunderstorm cell, others can occur
more randomly out of thick middle
level cloud.
How do we monitor for lightning?
. Read the weather forecast. There is
a weather section in all coastal
Page 6
waters forecasts. I highly encourage
all sailors to be visit the following
websites to gain a good
understanding of marine weather
forecasts.
www.bom.gov.au/marine
and in particular the links that are in
the above site
On desk, describing its approximate
location relative to the club.
If you are unfortunate enough to be
caught out near lightning,
encourage your crew to avoid
contact with the spars, head for
shore and take cover in a building or
in a car.

ut-marine-services.shtml

. The nearest Meteye grid point over
water to BSYC, contains a
thunderstorm forecast
www.bom.gov.au/places/sa/KHE2/fo
recast/detailed/
. Monitoring the local radar assists in
tracking thunderstorm speed and
direction, as well as growth and
decay
www.bom.gov.au/australia/radar/
. The display from Weatherzone,
includes lightning (the little crosses
which are known as GPATS),
although it is sometimes unavailable
www.weatherzone.com.au/radar
. The raw feed from GPATS is at
www.gpats.com.au/australian-realtime-feed
. Lastly our eyes and ears are useful
tools. If you see a lightning strike
near the club before heading out
that is not overly obvious to all,
report it to either a Flag Officer,
Principal Race Officer, Race Advisory
Committee member or to the Sign
JUNE 2016
Donations to BSYC projects are now
tax deductible.
As Bruce mentioned in last month’s
Log Book, we have re-established our
fundraising partnership with the
Australian Sports Foundation to set
up the BSYC Development Fund. The
stated aims of the Fund are to (i)
capitalise on our unique location to
improve the facilities and services
provided by the club to our members
and guests, and (ii) to promote junior
and youth sailing. Importantly, this
means that donations made to our
nominated projects (described
below) are now tax deductible.
Brief background: The Australian
Sports Foundation (ASF) is a
company created by the Australian
Government to support the
development of sport in Australia.
The ASF’s listing in the Income Tax
Assessment Act as a Deductible Gift
Recipient enables donations of $2 or
more to be tax deductible. Over one
thousand sporting clubs around
Australia (including several local
Page 7
JUNE 2016
Page 8
sailing clubs) now manage their
donations through the ASF, and this
facility is now available to our
members and sponsors. It works is
like this:
1. BSYC has registered two projects
with the ASF. These are:
BSYC CLUB INFRASTRUCTURE
PROJECT This project aims to
raise funds to upgrade the
Club’s facilities, including both
the clubhouse and its
surrounds, and to maintain
and replace the Club’s race
management vessels, rescue
boats, tractors and associated
equipment.
BSYC JUNIOR AND YOUTH
DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM
This project aims to raise funds
for the maintenance and
replacement of boats and
equipment for use in the junior
and youth sail training
programs, and to support the
participation of our elite
juniors in national and
international regattas.
2. Donations are made to the ASF by
nominating the project(s) as the
preferred beneficiary.
3. ASF will email a tax deductible
receipt to the donor. Don’t worry
if you don’t have an email address
– you can use the Club’s email
address and we will forward the
receipt to you.
JUNE 2016
4. ASF will then grant the monies
raised to BSYC for our projects.
Donations can be made either online
or offline as follows.
Online: The BSYC donation pages
can be found on the ASF website
by going to the ASF homepage
(https://asf.org.au/) and
searching for ‘BSYC’, or (for
members who are reading the
online version of the Log Book),
the URL for our landing page is:
https://asf.org.au/organisation/br
ighton-and-seacliff-yacht-club/.
There you will find more details
about our two projects, along
with links to the online donation
forms. In addition, we will soon
have a ‘Donate’ button on our
website that links directly to our
ASF landing page.
Offline: Manual donations (cash,
cheque, credit card, direct
deposit) can be made by filling in
the Donation Form, which is
available from the club office.
The Donation Form for our two
eligible projects will also be
included in our subscription
package for 2016-17 season.
In making donations to the club
through the ASF it is important to
note the following:
 Under the terms of our
agreement with ASF, 95% of
monies donated online and
94% of other (manual)
donations are returned to us.
Page 9
That is, the ASF retains 5-6% of
donations to help cover their
costs. Despite this, donations
through the ASF potentially
represent a very significant
win-win for both (tax-paying)
donors and the club; donors
are able to claim tax deductions
for their donations, and we
hope that such a benefit will
increase donations to more
than offset the 5%-6% retained
by the ASF.
 Donations have to be made
‘unconditionally’; you will see a
statement to this effect on the
Donation Form. Please be
assured (and without delving
too deeply in the legalities) that
the ASF genuinely considers
donor preferences when they
distribute funds. In fact, in the
30-year history of the ASF,
there’s never been an instance
where they have gone against
donor wishes.
 Apart from tax deductibility,
donors or their ‘Associates’ (a
term that in this context is
JUNE 2016
widely defined) cannot benefit
in any material way from their
donation…this is not a
mechanism to tax deduct your
next trip to the Nationals!
Many previous articles in the Log
Book have alluded to the ever
increasing costs of refurbishing the
club and its grounds, and maintaining
our fleet of training boats and
support vessels. These costs are only
partially covered by the annual
subscriptions. Donations through
the ASF have successfully raised
significant funds for many hundreds
of sporting clubs around Australia; in
2014-15 alone, donations totalling
$24 million were made through the
ASF. We are hopeful that, as the end
of the financial year tax season
approaches, this facility will make
donations to the club a more
attractive option and help boost our
fund raising efforts.

NS14 NEWS
With sailing off the calendar we have
been getting our laughs from
Presentation Nights.
Firstly, with the NS14 Presentation in
the Green Room at the BSYC, whilst
enjoying dinner it was well run by
our President Ashley Barclay, and
with trophy engraving by Alex the
prizes were spread amongst the
fleet.
The State Championship winners: Without a Trace – Dave Gordon &
Dan Adams on 6 points, second was
2031 – Alex & Nat with 16 points on
a count-back from
Red Joker – Adrian Adams & Chris
Revitt next was
Don't Panic – Chris Hart & Tom
Vercoe on 18 points – then
Powderburn – Deb Colebatch &
Ashley Barclay on 25 points
We had great numbers for the races.
Handicap results: Red Joker – Adrian & Chris on 18 by
count-back from
Powderburn – Deb & Ashley then
2031 – Alex & Nat on 27 next was
Dare Devil – Daryl & Kane
Our new format for the traveller
trophy worked well with races being
counted for BSYC, Victor, Largs and
PV Handicap results.
Powderburn with Deb and Ashley
were the winners on 49 points,
JUNE 2016
followed by Adrian and Chris in Red
Joker on 52, then Alex & Nat in 2031
on 55, Don't Panic – Tom and Chris
on 70 with Dave and Dan on 72 in 5th
place.
Most Improved winners were: Don't
Panic – Chris Hart & Tom Vercoe
Thanks very much to our Race
Secretary who without the support
of any computer programme has
manually calculated these result on
his own spread sheet, it is an
extensive task taking in excess of 6
hours to complete, we thank Dave
Gordon so much for being our Race
Secretary and all the effort he puts
into getting the results done and
ready in time for the trophies to be
engraved – where would we be
without him!
Other winners, who needed little, if
any calculations were the Submarine
Trophy – one of the most prized
trophies going – this was won by
Dean and I in Stealth – there was no
hiding in Stealth mode from this prize
and Dean was very excited to get his
hands on it, he has been sailing for
over 40 years and never won it
before (apparently he couldn't do it
without me). In the most hilarious
speech ever given at a prize night he
was delighted to receive the wooden
mounted black plastic submarine and
take it home to place on a special
shelf with down lights to show it off
to all his visitors, there was even talk
that he was going to construct a
special water tank to house it.

JUNE 2016

The other prize usually hotly
contested is the damage trophy – but
this year there could be no other
winner than Dave Gordon for the
boat coming off the trailer – he has
now won this trophy back to back
and it’s going to need something very
extreme by another team to top his
effort this year.
out previous prize winners and was
delighted or dismayed, not sure
which to see that she had previously
won this trophy with Mr. Chaise
Lounge in 2005 – that’s 10 years
ago!!!, and she has just signed up for
another year – what is she thinking?
After a couple of weeks break most
of us were back for the BSYC prize
night – Another evening full of laughs
with Gary – new to the role of MC,
giving some of our sailor’s brand new
names.
Dave has signed Dan (or has Dan
signed Dave?) not sure of the order
but they are teaming up next season.
Dan has also offered his services to
any crews who may need lessons
from him on how to the best NS14
crew.
Alex who was the Club Champion
with Nat is now known as Alexy (as in
Sexy Alexy) –Only Nat can actually
confirm or deny this. It also puts
discussion into his heritage because
he does not look Russian. Gary did a
great job of pronouncing Nat's Polish
name though.
The other recipient of a new name is
our very own Bob Couch (with the
pronunciation of Cooch) who has
now been renamed Couch (as in
sofa) or Bob Chaise Lounge as he will
now be referred to. It's going to
make it a long newsletter having to
type in Bob Chaise Lounge in Sweet
Little Rock n Roller each time, Oh
well the perils of being the
newsletter editor. Bob and Christine
won the Club Handicap Trophy (any
jokes here???)
With the trophies proudly on display
on our table, Christine was checking
JUNE 2016
Most Improved and well deserved
was John and Lesley.
I guess everyone else is in the draft –
apart from Lesley who will
undoubtedly sail with John again.
Looking forward to the winter rest.
What I am not looking forward to is a
certain birthday with a 0 on the end,
so to ward off any depression which
may be linked to this milestone I am
having a party on the lower deck on
the 30th July 730pm to 1230am, if
you would like to come along – there
will be a band made up of my
daughters mates – most of them are
doing music at Uni and they are
called Oceans. Please let me know by
16th July on 0415 170 053 or
lisabrock2013@outlook.com so I can
make sure we have enough nibbles.
Catch you next month when my
eyesight has got much worse and my
arthritis has really set in.

SHARPIE NEWS
Mark’s Sailing
Hi All! Brrrrrrr!
1959 Started sailing a Rainbow for 2
seasons at Brighton & Seacliff Yacht
club.
I know it’s a bit cold but give some
warm thoughts to those who headed
over to Lincoln for the genuine
Frostbite Regatta (beware
imitations!). Men of steel!!
Unfortunately, the regatta was after I
had to get this article together so
you will have to hear about the
exciting adventures of “The Bear vs
the Sharks” in next month’s action
packed article.
While there are a few changes in
next year’s line up of sharpies and
crews, none are more dramatic than
what I am about to reveal...... Are
you ready??
Long time sharpie sailor and stalwart
of the class Mark Coxon has finally
decided to hang up the old footy
jumper and hand the tiller over to
sheethand Tegan Asser. At 78, you
would think he had many more, good
seasons in him??!! (It certainly puts
the pressure on you Jimmy!).
First sailing in Heavy Weights (1961
with Don Thorpe at Brighton) and
then owning 9 Sharpies over 51 years
are significant achievements, and
ones that we here at Brighton should
reflect on and appreciate. That sort
of longevity even Michael Tuck
would appreciate!
Here is a very brief rundown of
Mark’s sailing memories (as noted by
Mark and Margaret Coxon):
JUNE 2016
1961 -62 Sailed with Don Thorpe at
Brighton in a 12 metre Sharpie
(Heavy weight) Cloverlea SA 57.
(Thought it should have been called
Mr Heinz). I was the mainsheet.
Went overseas for 3 years and sailing
became a past time between
numerous jobs which gave a great
social life and friendships.
Remembers in 62 sailing in a 14ft
boat in the Tideway Yacht Regatta
(332 yachts took part) Putney to
Tower Bridge and return race. This
meant sailing with the outgoing &
incoming tide of the Thames. They
passed under 9 low bridges each
way. Some got stuck under bridges
on the return trip!
Was a crew member (6 people) on a
cruise in a yawl from Southampton to
Cherbourg via the Channel Islands.
He remembers returning at night
through the very busy English
Channel – an experience not to be
repeated in a sailing vessel. Yachts
don’t show up on radar screens.
In Cowes Week 1962 crewed on a
large sailing yacht and remembers on
the last race being given the helm
{“why me” was my comment) and
finishing 2nd, which was exciting for
the whole crew.
Page 14
JUNE 2016
Page 15
Sailed in a Burnham Week Regatta
and enjoyed both the racing & social
life. Evenings were spent at the
Corinthian Yacht Club. At this time
62, Gretel was racing in America’s
Cup at Newport (could not stand
being called a relation of a convict
from the first day to the last).
In April 63, I joined a bus going to
Madras in India as a helper and was
assigned several passengers to look
after, carry their bags to hotels etc.
Travelling from London to Berlin,
Venice, Istanbul, Tehran, Lahore,
Delhi, Bombay and returning to
Tehran where I left the bus to go to
Baghdad, Damascus, Jerusalem,
Aleppo, Istanbul, Athens & Rome and
back to London in August 63.
I was fascinated with the places I had
been to and in January to April I
travelled to India by myself and
returned to Damascus, Cairo and
across North Africa to Morocco, Paris
& London.
Back in Adelaide, 1965 sailed in Ross
Radcliff’s Swift SA44 Light Weight
Sharpie at Grange.
Barmera was the annual Easter
venue for the sharpies. Night sailing
became a regular outing each year
across the lake with stories not to be
put in print.
A winch was at the front of the
original clubhouse so at the end of
each sail a crewman would run up to
the winch, grab the rope, run back to
the boat and tie the rope to the
JUNE 2016
trailer, run back to the winch and
press the motor button. Hey presto
who needs a tractor.
Sailing was a social affair. I
remember after 1 late ball (a dance
where one was dressed in black tie
suits and ladies in long dresses) it
was deemed a suitable time to take
the ladies for a sail in the pitch black.
Luckily it was a very calm sea.
Times have changed and in the 70’s if
the club deemed it too rough to sail
then a group of skippers and crew
would run their own race. Not an
Occupational Health or Safety person
around – how did we all survive!!!
I can remember the Wave Recorder,
rocks on the beach, seaweed, Sand
pumping barges, courses set to excite
the owners of beach front houses and
those on the beach with a buoy 100m
off Edward St and courses set to
finish off the club.
Mark travelled to many titles as a
participant or observer. In Perth he
hired a boat for the titles. He had to
clean the hay off the boat and had
two locals as crew. He returned with
a jib and a big smile.
Sailing has been a lifestyle and joy for
Mark. With the training of young and
older crew members who then joined
the club, it was an unusual day if
Coxon wasn’t on the water.
Sharpies Mark has owned: SA8
Southerly (65), SA100 Vixen (67),
SA106 Muscat (70), SA199 Claret (68)
Page 16
varnish hull, SA168 Inca (75), SA544
CMist Fibre glass hull (76), SA640 Will
O’ the Wisp (80), SA637 Dr Shackle &
Mr Gybe (94,) SA867 Thrown Thong
(96 to 2016).
As you can see, Mark has had many
fantastic and varied experiences, not
to mention the many Nationals
attended, friends made and sailors
introduced to sailing and sharpies
alike.
Mark has also been a strong
contributor to the Club’s
maintenance and plans to continue
as a member actively involved in his
club. I also hear that he is available
as a crew! Thanks Mark, and look
forward to giving you the blow by
blow description of the days racing at
the bar on Saturday afternoons!
Tegan Asser and her brother Tim are
the proud new owners of the Thrown
Thong, keeping the boat at the club.
Onya guys and good luck - if you
need any advice I’m sure Mark will
be happy to give it to you!
RUMOURS:
Is another new sharpie headed to sail
at our club? All I can say is that
“Operation Red Dragon” is up and
running..... Stay tuned!!
Goodnight B1. B2.
The proud new owners of the Thrown Thong!

SABRE CLASS NEWS
Around the Club
With winter now officially here there
hasn’t been a lot of Sabre activity out
on the water, however there have
been various off water events
happening in recent times including
the SA Sabre Association AGM and
the SA Sabre Association
Presentation Dinner.
Also the BSYC annual Presentation
Night was held at the club at the end
of May and was well attended by the
Sabre fleet, and everybody there
seemed to have a good time.
In mid May the Goolwa Dinghy
Sailing Club hosted the first of their
winter series and on what proved to
be a great sailing day three races
were completed. A
number of Brighton Sabres including
Ron Rickards, Bill Tucker, Jonathan
Owen, Rob Gale, John Gratton and
Dean Francis (yes, Dean did make a
cameo appearance on the river!)
were amoung those competing in the
16 boat fleet and the obliging 10-12
knot SW breeze provided for some
close racing.
Winter Sailing
Our fleet is well represented on the
new SSASA Committee with the
following Sabre skippers holding
office for the 2016-17 sailing season:
For those of you who don’t feel the
cold and have time on their hands
there is some winter sailing available
