We’re having visitors over again this week, with an invitation Keelboat race for Division 2 (SoPYC, RPYC & RFBYC) on Saturday afternoon and later that same afternoon Flying Fifteens from RFBYC will be joining the SoPYC fleet for the Tally Hobbs Memorial Series and again on Sunday. With RFBYC running the International Classes Regatta (ICR) this weekend, Off The Beach classes staying at home will be racing non-consistency races for the final Sunday this side of the season.

Also on Saturday Royal Perth Yacht Club will be hosting the invitation race for Division 1 and Division 3 will race their final marathon race for the season.

This week we have reached the penultimate race for the Jane Brook Wines Midweek Spring Series this Wednesday which has up to this point produced a couple of exciting tussles between George Ruul’s Mingara and John Woolhouse’ Morning Flite in Division 2 and in Division 3 Matt Rose’s King Canute and Brian Saleeba’s Abeelas are neck and neck.

Finally, get your entry in quick for the Ron Tough Yachting Foundation Goolugatup Sailing Carnival. Keep up to date with all the news on the event Facebook.

Alright, that’s it. Let’s roll!     Hey, let’s be careful out there.

EVENTS

TWILIGHT SERIES

Experience racing into the sunset and finishing under a brilliant summer moon that only the Twilight Series can offer. If you’re lucky you may even catch the ISS streak overhead. Twilights have been designed with short courses to keep boats relatively close to the Club and being jib and main only boats are not so dependant on skilled crew required for spinnaker work, keeping in line with the more relaxed style of racing Twilights are known for.

SATURDAY SERIES

If you’re looking for maximum speed, then the Saturday Series can provide. This is the day where boats require all hands on deck to handle the fast downwind runs experienced when the Freo Doctor’s strong summer sea breezes kick in and colourful ballooning spinnakers fill the river.

OFF THE BEACH BOATS

Held every Sunday afternoon during the summer season, a number of sailing classes compete over two separate courses – one for the junior classes with a mix of training and racing while the other course caters for youth and senior sailors using laid marks and back to back racing.

With many boats away at the International Classes Regatta (ICR) at RFBYC this weekend, races for those choosing to stay home will all be non-consistency.

Equipment Audit Forms

Skippers, please note that your Equipment Audit Forms have now expired as of June 30. To be eligible to compete in the new season starting from Opening Day on Oct 4, a new Equipment Form must be submitted online. Most, if not all Skippers have had their previous Audit form submitted online via YachtSafe already, so it should be relatively easy to resubmit a new form in time for your first race of the new season and the good news is that you can view your previous form in Past Audits on your YachtSafe dashboard.

Yacht Trackers

The ability to replay club fleet races is now available. Try the free Yacht Bot tracking software yourself. It can be downloaded and installed on your smartphone or tablet via an App. If you interested and don’t mind taking your electronic device with you on the water, please let us know.
