Sunday’s action wasn’t just contained to the race course with John and Kevin attempting to give their windex a wash on the way out of the marina. Our photo shows She Who Must Be Obeyed checking that they took their rudder cover off not sitting on her normal lines during the rather intricate manoeuvre. The yellow arm gripping the port side stay is that of a then semi-submerged John Hassen who, being a responsible and considerate skipper, completely exonerated Kevin, his crew, of all blame regardless of who was ( or wasn’t ) hanging onto the tiller at the time. John was awarded the port for his efforts and our thanks to the, as yet, un-named photographer for capturing the moment.
|
|
Elsewhere, a fleet of fifteen fifteens enjoyed some tight racing and a couple of fabulous reaching legs to compile a range of results that can be perused at www.sopyc.com.au .

|
Next weekend is our first 2 Club Championship heats which will be followed by the centreboard section BYO everything barbeque at the centreboard clubhouse. Critical to this event is the catering so please advise Centreboard Captain Kate via email cbcaptain.sopyc@gmail.com if you require salad and a bread roll to be provided on the day.

|
Hope you backed a winner this afternoon.

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.
