Well done to those who considered the weather forecast and went sailing anyway. Typically, the skies clear, the breeze moderates and the temperature gets, at least, into the 20’s…………..but not this time. The breeze actually kicked up a bit for the second race and there were some tired bodies with chattering teeth at the end of a big day.
|
Fleet Captain Tim and Crowbar had No Bull in “Tilt” mode for an extended time while the kite entertained itself around the forestay and David and Mary-Anne had their day cut short with a recalcitrant main halyard on Double Nickel. Greg and Leanne (Enuff Rope) won the first race on consistency with the other Tim and Plonky (Ffollow Us) fastest and, in the second race, John and Kevin (She who must be obeyed) were first and Greg and Hector (Spot the difference) were fastest.
|
|
Back to our earlier time slot for racing next Sunday and make preparations for the Windward Leeward racing on Saturday the 3rd of November with the Freshie folk.

ABOVE: Tim Walker was fastest in the first race on Ffollow Us.

INFORMATION TO MEMBERS ABOUT CHANGES TO THE
ASSOCIATIONS INCORPORATION ACT 2015
|
INFORMATION SESSIONS FOR MEMBERS
|
|
All Members will receive a detailed letter by email. A summary of the letter is included below.
|
|
The Club’s constitution was written in 1993. It has been updated from time to time but it contains clauses from 1993 and earlier that now do not comply with the laws of Western Australia.
|
In 2015 the Associations Incorporation Act changed the law governing clubs like ours. Because of these changes, clubs like ours must update their governing documents. Also, the Club’s lawyers have noticed a number of inconsistencies in the Club’s governing documents so now is a good time to remove those inconsistencies.
|
For a few months now, the Club has been inviting members to comment on the draft new rules and by-laws that the Club proposes to adopt at a General Meeting and put to government for approval to comply with the Associations Incorporation Act.
|
Now the Club invites you to attend any one or more of a series of open forums so that you can ask any questions you want, or suggest any changes you want, to the draft rules and by-laws. The information sessions will be chaired by Elph Hensler.
|
|
Monday 29th October 6.30pm
|
|
Monday 12th November 6.30pm
|
|
Saturday 1st December 10.00am
|
Saturday 8th December 10.00am

The documents INFORMATION TO MEMBERS ABOUT CHANGES TO THE ASSOCIATIONS INCORPORATION ACT 2015, the DRAFT MODEL RULES, the DRAFT BY-LAWS and the CURRENT CONSTITUTION are all located on the members portal of our website under "Constitution".

The Cruising Sections annual up-river cruise took us to the surprisingly peaceful inner suburb of Ascot Waters. With the grey sky’s threatening to rain on the parade, the day remained dry and we cruised up at a very leisurely pace, popped the champagne corks and unpacked a seemingly unless abundance of food. With all the boats tightly packed together, the …

Survey - Aquatrash – Protecting the Marine Environment
|
|
The Aquatrash barge operates over the peak Christmas and New Year period to provide extra rubbish removal from bays around Rottnest Island that Programmed Facility Maintenance provide to the boating community. As you can imagine, keeping the pristine waters off Rottnest free from rubbish and pollution is a critical issue that most people unanimously agree upon. A survey will be placed in the OWG foyer from tomorrow to collect as many signatures as possible to support this valuable service as there is a planned diminish of this service in the near future. If you do not wish to put a contact number on the survey, please list that you are a member at SoPYC or other.
|
The survey will remain in the foyer until the middle of November and then will be submitted to the Rottnest Island Authority Board by barge operators Commercial Maritime.
|
Thank you for your assistance in raising the awareness amongst the boating community and the general public. Should you require any further information on this please contact Tina Smith at tina.brian@bigpond.com

Duyfken Line Catchers and Ship Keepers Needed!
|
Here is your opportunity to take an active role on the Duyfken.
|
|
After each of the Duyfken twilight sails we need to roster a Line Catcher to help secure the ship back against the berth. It's just a matter of catching a heaving line and then placing the mooring lines on a bollard or timber chaffer.
|
|
Here are the November dates where we are looking for help.
|
|
Twilight Sailing Dates- November 2nd, 3 ,4 , 9, 10,11,16,17,18, 23, 24 & 25th 2018.
|
This involves being on the jetty from 6.45pm awaiting Duyfken’s return to berth. Usually wrapped up by 7.15pm.
|
Ideally we like to have a ship keeper aboard Duyfken each night of the week. During the summer this can be a most rewarding experience – dinner on the deck watching a beautiful sunset. On twilight sailing days the ship keeper could also serve as the line-catcher.
