The March meeting of the Power Yacht Committee will be held this Thursday 4th March, in the committee room at 7:30pm.
|
Proposals by the CPYC of YWA will see boats competing in eight State Championship events this season, consisting of 5 mid river heats plus three invitation events, all run strictly in accordance with CPYC rules. Competitors will count the best five of the eight for outright and the best six for the Bob Stanford Trophy.
|
Dovetailing the events into the Club’s program will need some compromises which when agreed, will allow the completion of the 2021 Power Yacht Red Book.
|
|
Also up for discussion is this year’s budget allocations, so Thursday promises to be a busy and interesting night for the committee.

With Flying Fifteens having been introduced to the South of Perth Yacht Club in season 2000/2001, it seemed fitting that a regatta be run to commemorate the occasion and that materialised on the weekend with 6 races run over 2 days. The weather forecast looked decidedly ugly, the reality was the complete opposite and a solid fleet of boats had some great racing and enjoyed some extra competition from the Freshie fleet.
|
Greg and Mike (The Answer) set the tone early and finished day 1 with 3 wins followed by Philippa and Dean (Firefly) 6 points back and Nick and Plonky (Ineffable) and further 2 points back. Day 2 and Greg and Mike couldn’t maintain the rage and ended up second overall behind Nick and Brad (change of crew) who won each race on the day. Currently third are Philippa and Dean from Freshie with these results being subject to protest which will be sorted out during the week.
|
Stories abound of what Plonky did or didn’t do during his involvement on board 2 different boats over the weekend but, in the interests of truth and crew solidarity, it was the skipper’s fault.
|
|
Thanks to all those who looked after us on and off the water and we look forward to doing much the same next weekend with a couple of Club Championship heats.

The pirates from Cockburn are coming!

This week’s pictures pay tribute to the excitement of building our new clubrooms after the move from Olive’s Reserve in Como, and some of the Club’s earliest forays into racing yachts offshore. Since there were no yacht clubs with ocean front facilities, South of Perth was one of the power houses in the sport, running races to Mandurah, Bunbury as well as short races out of Fremantle. All competitors had to deal with lowering the mast to get to the start line, and to do it again, tired and exhausted, in order to get home. The Club really came of age when it conducted the inaugural Geraldton Race in 1969.

John Court’s Snowgoose, seen here in the Point Robert Race (the return race from Mandurah) in 1966. The race remains on the calendar and is now conducted jointly by Fremantle Sailing Club and the Mandurah Offshore Fishing and Sailing Club.

The development of our Applecross clubhouse generated much publicity.

Don Leggett’s Sabre class Terpsichore, which took line honours in the first Geraldton race as well as handicap honours. He finished the race in less than 24 hours.
