Chairman’s Repor t…. Chairman’s Repor t…. Another Lincoln week is behind us and what a week it was. Who would have thought that

a yacht which was nowhere near the start line, would charge down the coast, storm into

Lincoln and take the race record? For those of us in the fleet with less boat speed the

race was nonetheless exciting. Sitting on the rail of Rapid 1 we witnessed some incredible

(and expensive) situations unfold. Sadly the carnage was not confined to some sails and

stanchions with two sailors receiving injuries early on in the race. The sea state provided

a fine ride for those who could steer it and on Rapid we watched the jumbos while the

boat speed record was set higher and higher again. Yes it was wet and uncomfortable but

gosh.. what a race to remember. I think we'll be talking about the "wet Lincoln" for a long

time. Once again the Port Lincoln Yacht Club turned on a well organised and entertaining

Sunday Session.

I was unable to stay for the week this year due to work commitments but from all reports

the Regatta was a success. We have included a précis of the race results elsewhere in this

edition of Downwind.

Hard to believe that Summer is over... was it really here? But as we head into the tail end

of our racing season it's time for those of us on the committee to look forward. Once

again we will hold a Skippers night so that we can hear your thoughts on the past season

and invite your comments as we program the next.

A proposal which has recently been put to REX involves Short Handed racing and it

includes a suggestion that a third person be allowed to race as a crew member in this

series if the auto helm is not used. Obviously such a proposal would involve boat by boat

handicap adjustments in order to provide a balanced fleet. If you have any thoughts on

this or if such a proposal may perhaps tempt you to participate in a short handed

series which includes such allowances could you please let Jess or myself know as REX will

be considering this proposal in the near future and we welcome your input.

Our recent Combined Twilight race was a highlight of the twilight season and a great

opportunity for members of both clubs to mix and mingle. I also attended a Captain’s

Table dinner this past month, a night hosted by our flag officers where

Association representatives meet our new CYCSA members. Some new club members

have indicated an interest in learning to race but would love a helping hand so if you are

a knowledgeable sailor with some time to contribute (either via a chat on the patio or

perhaps even time out on the water) I'd love to put you in touch with some skippers and

crews who would welcome your skills as they seek to learn about racing at our club.

Camaraderie and competition are the foundations of club racing so please keep an eye

out for these new members and please make them feel most welcome in our

racing fraternity.

On a burning hot morning with no breeze on Friday 4th Feb, we weighed Nellie Myra,

Freelance, Take 5 and Naughty Black Shorts. We had an early start due to the 0620

2.4 high tide dropping to 0.18 at 1240. The crane arrived at RSAYS 0615 and departed

1115—the last boat weighed had only 0.2 under the keel when it was put back in the

water. Since then, the measuring has been completed and certificates received from

Nellie Myra, Take 5 and Naughty Black Shorts.

Another weighing Day is planned for April / May—Marnico, G-Wizz and Garry Tucker’s

new Beneteau 45 are already booked in.

If you are interested in having your boat weighed, please ring William Strangways on

8296 3756, or contact Jess in the Race Office on 8248 4222.

FEBRUARY 2011

Hello from the Race Office! It is the beginning of March already, and Lincoln is yet again a thing of the past! I hope all who participated in the

Adelaide to Port Lincoln Bluewater Classic and the Lexus Lincoln Week Regatta had a great time and

managed to get back to the CYCSA safely!

I was fortunate to make my first ever trek to Lincoln this year and believe it or not, I even managed to make it out

for my first ever race! Thanks to Keith, Sandy, Annie and the rest of the ‘Rapid 1’ crew for having me on board for

the first two races of the Regatta. I had a great time, and hope to get out for a sail more often!

With Lincoln out of the way, we have a month of Twilights left before we kiss goodbye to daylight savings - stay

tuned for more info on the extra Ladies Helm Twilight! There are also a few big weekends to look forward to - the

Vicsail Beneteau Regatta will be held at the CYCSA on Sunday the 27 March, followed by the

Great Southern Regatta and the J24 Class State Champs over the weekend of the 2 & 3 April.

Don’t forget to check the website for the NoR and get your entries in!

AUSTRALIA DAY TWILIGHT

On 26th January, the Racing Association held a special, standalone, early start Australia Day Twilight Race. It was excellent to see

lots of Racing Members get involved in the day, with 20 starters in the race. It was perfect weather for a great race with winds of about

15knts and calm, flat seas. After the race there was a BBQ, with Canegrass providing lamb packs for sale to the hungry sailors. The BBQ area

was packed with people who stayed for the festivities following the race, creating a great vibe. Many people stayed until well after sundown,

playing Pétanque on the lawns overlooking the Marina. It was a hugely successful event, thanks to all who made it possible.
