REDINK HOMES GERALDTON OCEAN CLASSIC 2011
South of Perth Yacht Club Commodore’s Welcome
The South of Perth Yacht club is again very proud to be conducting the Redink Homes
Fremantle to Geraldton Ocean Classic in conjunction with the Geraldton Yacht Club.
This year we celebrate the 43rd year of these famous ocean races.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank our naming right sponsors Redink Homes
and the other major contributors, the City of Fremantle, the City of Greater Geraldton
and Hanson Construction Materials.
Again we have a very strong fleet representing all corners of ocean racing yachts.
Some are cruising yachts with others being the pinnacle of ocean racing machines. I
take my hat off to all of the competitors for committing to such an event.
An event of this magnitude takes an enormous amount of work from many volunteers
from both South of Perth and Geraldton Yacht Clubs and with out these dedicated
men and women it would be impossible, I thank you all very much.
Finally I would like to thank all the yacht owners and their crew for competing in this great race for with out you there
would not be a race. I look forward to meeting all of you and hearing the stories at the trophy presentations.
I wish you all an exciting yet safe journey to Geraldton and return.
Frank Dalglish
Commodore
South of Perth Yacht Club.

Geraldton Yacht Club Commodore’s Welcome
Here we go again, gearing up for the Redink Homes Geraldton Ocean Classic.
This is the start of a very busy period for the Geraldton Yacht Club, as you
start your return race we will be on the alert for the Clipper Round the World
Yacht Race, the first of these yachts are due on the Saturday following your
departure.
I have been advised that we can expect a fleet of yachts who will hotly contest
this years race. It will be interesting to see how the two handers cope with the
conditions. Suffice it to say we here at the Geraldton Yacht Club are eagerly
awaiting your arrival.
Best of luck, lets hope you have a safe, fast ride.

well in them. Glimpses of awesome speeds down wind were
seen down at Geographe Bay.
The crew are very experienced and will be looking for a quick

This grand old lady of the sea is now 20 years old and still is
very competitive, particularly in the Geraldton return race where
she excels going to windward.
Jaffa, the Malcolm Reynolds designed 39’ should sail well in
both directions of the race. Terry Posma is the most active
Royal Perth Yacht Club Offshore sailor who participates in
nearly every ocean race.
This will be the boats second Geraldton Race. He retired in the
race in 2009, so Terry and his crew will be looking forward to
finishing this race.
Owner Rob Thomas who is now retired spends most of the time
working on the boat, keeping it ship shape. She will be competing in the Lobster Pot series which hopefully will put her in good
stead for the Batavia Cup.

events. They competed in this year’s Bali Rally Division and
won overall in the rally division, a great feat.
Owner Phil Childs would still be mourning the sad loss of his
partner in the yacht, Frank Van Ruth who did a lot behind the
scenes.

Owner Todd Giraudo has been having a lot a fun sailing two
handed. It would be much easier to organise one’s crew, unlike
High Anxiety which he co-owned with his brother Dean and
they would need a minimum of ten crew. He and his crew man,
David (Dubbo) White will be having an exciting match race
against veteran skipper, John Holder in his yacht Plus 16. This
will definitely be a race between youth and age!
There is no limit on what this Reichel / Pugh 62’ yacht can
do here on the west coast. Local business man Alan Brierty
bought his yacht across from Sydney to compete in the Geographe Bay Regatta in which he won IRC and line honours in
every race. Limit also competed in the Bali Race in April and
broke Rolly Taskers record and there is a great chance with the
right conditions, he will break Elle’s Racing record of 1996. He
also won both YAH and IRC in the Bali Race.
The last time Alan (affectionately known as AB) completed in
the Geraldton Race was 21 years ago in 1990 in his then yacht,
a Davidson 40 named Once a Jolly Swagman and won the
overall IOR division.
Skipper Paul Eldrid did this race with Alan Brierty being his first
ever offshore ocean race.

John Holder would probably be the only sailor in this race that

He and his crewman Dan are looking forward to the challenge
of beating Kraken in this the world’s longest match race!
This will be the yachts last Geraldton race for a couple of years
as Trevor will be competing in this year’s Sydney to Hobart
race. From there Optimus Prime will go to Melbourne for the
Geelong week, back to Sydney for the Sydney to Southport
race and then the Hamilton Island and Airly Beach regatta’s
before heading back west around the top of Australia in March
2013. The yacht will go back to Melbourne, when Trevor and
younger son, Daniel will compete in the two handed Melbourne
to Osaka race. Quite a hectic schedule for the yacht and crew.

Ian Stewart had an unforgettable inaugural race on Wild One in
1993 where he lost his rudder after going around the West End
of Rottnest and was towed back to Thompson’s Bay by Tender
1 which took five hours.
This time with a well founded Bakewell 36’ Ian should enjoy his
offshore racing a lot more and with the assistance of some of
Farrago’s crew, R2D2 should perform well.

The yacht also competed in this Bali race and had some interesting racing with three other yachts. The lead changed hands
several times throughout the race.
Following the Bali race, Garth and the crew took the yacht to
Darwin where they competed in the Darwin Ambon race breaking the fastest time record.

RACE TRACKERS
BUS TIMETABLE
Greyhound
In 2011, the yachts competing in the Geraldton
Ocean Classic will be fitted with Yellow Brick
Trackers. Yellow Brick trackers are a rugged and
fully self-contained battery operated tracker which
works anywhere on Earth.
The tracker will wake up every so often (e.g. every
15 minutes), obtain a position using the GPS satellite
network, and then transmit that position back to
Yellowbrick HQ using the Iridium satellite network in
seconds. The message is relayed to us from Iridium,
after which we will be able to visualize the positions
on an easy-to-use web-based viewer.
On the race viewer, visitors to the site will be able
to view a display of waypoints, markers and rhum
line, historic tracks as well as the current location of
the yachts, replay, display of speed and course for
each yacht, skipper name and yacht name for each
vessel plus the weather information provided via
PredictWind.
The race viewer will be accessible for the duration of
the races north and return on the Club’s website at
www.sopyc.com.au. The viewer uses Adobe
Flash and will require visitors to the site to have flash
installed before it will work. Visitors to the site who do
not have flash will be prompted to install it on first visit.
The Yellow Brick Yacht trackers are provided
courtesy of sponsorship by Hanson Construction

Who will win the
“Challenge of the Cities”
City of Fremantle throws out challenge
to City of Greater Geraldton
Represented by sister ships Charlotte and Optimus Prime, the cities of Fremantle and Greater Geraldton have
challenged each other for honours in the Geraldton Ocean Classic. Crews will be sailing not just for individual glory, but also
for bragging rights for the city they represent. Look out for their distinctive tee shirts!

Behind the Scenes
How many people understand what is needed behind the scenes to organise a race like Redink Homes’ Geraldton Ocean Classic?
There are a group of highly visible volunteers who actually run the event. Most clubs make sure that these valuable contributors to the sport are formally thanked at briefings and presentations. The oft repeated “we couldn’t race without them” is actually very true and the vast majority of yachtsmen appreciate their efforts. Some, like offshore “Mum” Cherry Callcott, have been
involved in the sport for thirty years or so, which might help you to appreciate how passionate they are about their involvement.
But what about the invisible people behind them?
People like Dr Shane Leavy, who is on standby for the duration of the event to give advice in case of injury. All the information
about each crew member is copied to Shane, so that he is armed with essential information about all participants in the race
before it starts. This of course, is one of the reasons why it is so important to correctly fill in the details on entry crew lists.
People like the dozens of radio operators who give their time to monitor radio traffic between racing yachts and shore bases. In the event of an emergency, they are the front line in the management of the emergency, acting under the direction of the
Principal Race Officer and making contact with outside agencies that might be needed. They constantly update the positions
of racing yachts so that if an emergency does occur, they know not just where the yacht is, but they also have a good idea of
the nearest vessel to it if assistance is needed quickly.
People like Paul Kimber at FESA, whose people at the various volunteer sea rescue units along the way silently watch yachts
as they race along the coast, ready to assist at a moment’s notice if required. Behind them is a band of volunteer crayfishermen ready to spring into action if needed.
People like the Water Police, based at Fremantle, who hope they never hear from us but stand ready to assume control of any
emergency that might arise.
People like Barrett Communications’ CEO Phil Bradshaw, whose company not only provides state-of-the-art HF radio equipment for the race, but who also supplies his own power yacht Mermaid to anchor at Rottnest Island over two successive weekends, communicating with the fleet as “Tender One”. “Tender One” is the primary communication link between yachts and the
race management team.
People like the army of trophy donors who provide the funds needed every year to make it possible for the Club to present
prizes which are a fitting reward for a race of the significance of the “Gero”.
People like the CEO of Redink Homes, Scott Park, who with his marketing guru Terry Evans try their best to gain some leverage from their continuing sponsorship of a race in which they have developed great faith.
But perhaps the most surprising of the individuals who work behind the scenes is a man who is not a yachtsman at all, yet
gives so much of his time and energy into ensuring the on-going success of the race – the chairman of the organising committee, Phil Warwick. Phil is a powerie (gasp!) who first became involved when he was a Rear Commodore at the South of Perth
Yacht Club, and has since that time has continued to lead from the front.
There are many, many more that we could include here, but you get the point. For every crew member involved in the Redink
Homes Geraldton Ocean Classic, there are probably five or more people behind the scenes who make it possible for them to
enjoy their sport at this level.
We owe them a debt of gratitude.
Bernie Kaaks.

VHF RELAY
All crews are advised that there is a VHF Repeater Station established on Mt Lesurier. It is
operated by the Jurien Volunteer Sea Rescue
Group on Channel 21.
JVSRG say that results to date indicate that
the relay has at times made contact with vessels as far away as Two Rocks to the south
and Dongara in the north.
Channel 21 is not a registered Geraldton race
frequency, but if satisfactory communications
on race channels are not available, might be a
useful alternative.

Your Home,
Your Choice
All of Redink’s homes have a real liveability about them...
they work: they have family rooms that actually fit a family;
his and hers robes so you have your own space for
your own clothes; kitchens that create those special
warm moments and memories; meal areas where you
hear laughter and that special cup of coffee gets shared
with a friend; even laundries with enough storage for the
whole family’s washing. Scott’s aim is to create homes
that enhance family life, to give great service that adds
to the excitement, and deliver a home the way that you and
your family want it; a home you can really live in.
If it is award winning service and designs that you want
talk to Redink Homes today for an obligation free chat.
