We need your support

The club is looking into purchasing some WindBots for junior and senior sailors. These are wind instruments attached to the coach and mark laying boats. The data displayed on the instrument screen is then used to predict pressure and local wind information on the actual course. This system has been used by Olympic and International sailors to take some of the guess work out of coaching and setting the best possible courses for the weather conditions to help sailors to improve their overall on-water performance. It is proposed to use the technology to help our sailors at interstate and local regattas.

This year many sailors will be at Sorrento participating in the Australian Youth Championships and the technology will help Denis Jones support our members on the water. As a result, there is some urgency to the purchase of the equipment. The only downside is that we need to acquire the units in the next four weeks and there is no allowance in the current budget for the WindBots. Our aim is to purchase two units.

It is intended that SoPYC establishes a registered Australian Sports Foundation Project to fund the project and, importantly, using this mechanism, provide some tax benefits for donors to the project.

We need to raise $8,000 dollars for the units. Yes, I know it’s a lot of money, but these will be used in every type of coaching at our great Club.

Please, if you can spare some dollars to help us purchase a Bot, it would be much appreciated.

Please contact Denis Jones or myself for more information about the equipment. Pledges prior to the setting up of the ASF project will get us underway and provide a tax benefit to donors in June 2020.
THANK YOU.

Geraldton Ocean Classic 2019

Fascinating weather conditions made this year’s Geraldton Ocean Classic unique. Following winds on the first leg to Geraldton were forecast, but wind strength was well below expectations, leaving some skippers disappointed with their times. The trade off was a beautiful sail under sunny skies by day and bright, moonlit skies at night. As expected, Indian skippered by Paul Eldrid in …
