Racing Yacht Wash-downs

We are pleased to advise skippers of racing yachts and twilight participants that we are able to offer a special rate for hull wash-downs. The wash-down is for a lift and drop and 30 minute clean of the hull and can be organised by telephoning the bosun to arrange a time that is convenient for the skipper and fits into the boat lifting bookings. Should the wash-down be longer than 30 minutes, the rate will increase in $15 increments per quarter hour.

For racing yachts less than 8m the price is $ 45.00;
8m- less than 10m the price is $60.00;
10m- less than 12m the price is $75.00;
12m- less than 15m the price is $90.00;
and for vessels 15m – less than 18m the price is $100.

SoPYC Wheel Clamp

At the recent Management Committee meeting the subject of car parking was discussed and the Committee is concerned at the number of cars that are being parked improperly, ignoring parking information, inadequately identified (which includes boat trailers), blocking hardstand trailer bays preventing members using their boats, or not being able to return boats to the land pens.

The Security Committee has been asked to resurrect “Jed” (clamp-it) - the colloquial name for the club wheel clamp. So without attaching the clamp injudiciously and without warning, the Security Committee is asking that member’s be conscious of their parking habits around the club. Should the clamp be applied to a vehicle, it can only be released during office hours Monday to Friday and the fee attached to the removal of the clamp is $150.00.
Every Friday from 3pm to 5.30pm the Club is conducting races for DragonFlite95 (DF95) radio controlled yachts. You are invited to come and participate in the fun of racing these restricted one-design yachts. There are currently seventeen DF95s belonging to members of SoPYC and they will be happy to hand over the controls for you to 'have a go'. A DF95 …
