In a world with a high level of consciousness of recycling, and waste management, we are closely monitoring the waste services and recycling done by the club. We are taking small steps to do our bit and will be expanding our sustainability efforts on the land and water over the next year or so. From time to time we will be using Coffee Pointers to inform Members of the steps we are taking to minimise our footprint. As a teaser and an awareness prompt we will offer a bottle of red and a bottle of white wine to the member who can best guess, to the nearest tonne, how much waste we generate as a Club in one year. The answer will appear in next week's Coffee Pointers. Please email your estimates to marketing@sopyc.com.au
On a farewell note we would like to sincerely thank Lynda Mackillican our Coffee Pointers editor for all her efforts and contributions over the past few years. This will be Lynda's last issue of Coffee Pointers. We wish her well in her new role at FSC.

Blue Water Classics Book for Sale by Author
|
|
|
|
Hi There,
Hope you're well...I'm emailing about a book I have published called Blue Water Classics: Portraits of the Sydney Hobart Yacht Race, in collaboration with Di Pearson (Journalist and Race Media Director).
The book is currently available for pre-order through my website, and if interested, I would like to offer club members and affiliates 15% off the purchase price of either the Standard Edition, or signed and numbered Deluxe Edition – through the use of a unique code.
Members can order direct from my website, and I will coordinate all the packing and shipping. *The books arrive in late October so members can expect their order to arrive in November.
About the Book
|
|
Blue Water Classics is a 520-page book takes readers behind the scenes via a vast array of intimate and drama-filled interviews with some of the legends of the race, inclusive of owners, competitors, officials, search and rescue personal and more. The interviews are interspersed by Pearson’s personal accounts from her 30 plus years involvement in a sporting event watched by millions every year.
|
Combined, these ocean racing escapades encapsulate the Sydney Hobart’s line honours and overall winning victories, the near misses, disputes, rivalries and emotive accounts of the tragic storm ravaged years synonymous with this iconic race. All are illustrated by over 400 portraits and seascapes captured by Wilson during the four years he documented the race. Each photo captures the salt encrusted faces of yachties and breathtaking scenery from the start on Sydney Harbour to rounding Tasman Island, sailing in Storm Bay and finishing under the mountain in Hobart to cheering crowds.

What early reviewers are saying:
|
‘This is a rare book on the Sydney Hobart Yacht Race, full of stories about the sailors - the women and men who participate and challenge the elements of nature every year between Boxing Day and New Year. The underlying thread in all the stories has been the challenge, the skill, the seamanship and, most importantly, the comradeship - as well as, in some cases, the incredible story of survival.’ – David Kellett, AM, Australian yachting identity/yachting administrator/past winner of the J.H. Illingworth Trophy and Tattersall Cup
|
|
‘Andrew’s book makes us dream. A wonderful, pictorial coffee table book – on the greatest offshore race in the world. It’s the next best thing to sailing to Hobart! – Philippe Kahn, technology innovator/entrepreneur/international yachtsman
