The 2024 Foundation lunch was very successful raising $32,500 which will greatly assist the Foundation in providing assistance to the Club in line with its objectives.
This year 157 people attended the event with John Bertrand as the guest speaker. The theme was the 40th Anniversary of the America’s Cup win of Australia II skippered by John Bertrand considered by many as Australia’s greatest sporting achievement. John gave a very interesting talk on the history of Australia’s various challenges for the Cup culminating in the 1983 Victory and following his talk he answered questions from the audience. We are extremely grateful that John gave his time to the Foundation and the Club ensuring that we would achieve a full house and lots of interest in the event. In fact we sold out in two days and unfortunately there were a number of members who would have liked to come, but missed out. The Foundation would like to thank everyone who assisted in the event; those who donated prizes and auction items, those who purchased them or bought raffle tickets, those who assisted in the set up and clearing up of the room, the Tag team, the Rocks who provided an excellent meal and who managed the meal service very professionally, and not forgetting Sarah and Tayla who contributed significantly under pressure. Finally special thanks to our event sponsor Marshalls+Dent+Wilmoth lawyers who again materially assisted and provided gifts for everyone present. The renovations to the Harbour room allowed us to increase the capacity of the lunch from 120 last year to 157 and as a result our final total of $32,500 was well up on the previous year of just under $25,000. The Foundation Board’s challenge is to prepare for the 2025 lunch. Ideas for this event are welcome as well as feed back on what we did well and what could be improved in the future. Regards, Stuart Gooley, Foundation Chairman

Entries are open https://www.orcv.org.au/apollo-bay The KISS Committee is excited to announce the third running of the Keelboat Introduction to Sailing Savvy (KISS) program for 2024, open to all Victorian women and now open for business! The vision of the program founder, Queenscliff Cruising Yacht Club’s Immediate Past Commodore Lee Renfree in partnership with Ocean Racing Club of Victoria has now graduated 52 women over two years, empowering them to transition from “passengers” to active, confident “participants”. So if you are female and keen to gain skills on keelboats, jump on board now!
All information and registration is available on the ORCV KISS Training page. The first press release is now live Count Her In - KISS Mick has announced his retirement from MYC’s Sailability Program. He will be turning 90 in March 2024.
Mick joined the Club as a Senior Family Member in 2004. He is currently listed as an Honorary Member. In 2005 Mick teamed up with Colin Smith to raise funds for additional Sailability boats and by 2007 raised in excess of $20,000. He has tirelessly provided volunteer support to Sailability both on and off the water, manned the Bunnings Sausage Sizzle, coordinated funding support from, State and Local Government, as well as Rotary, Lions, private philanthropic organisations and private donors. He is a long serving member of the Sailability Committee, and for a number of years, was our representative on the Sailability Victoria Committee. Mick also filled the role of MYC Sailability Coordinator for ~5 years, ensuring that all of the Sailability programs (Wednesday, Friday and Sunday) worked consistently together. Mick undertook the responsibility of Project Managing the replacement of the Disability Ramp servicing Maas Landing 2017/2018. In more recent times Mick has been instrumental in raising significant donations to the Club from Independence Australia. To date, these funds have been apportioned to the Club’s new elevator $10,000, new disability changing facilities in the downstairs Club House $15,000, New tractor $5,000 and provisionally towards the new crane $5,000 To sum it up, over his many years with the Club, Mick has made an enormous contribution to MYC Sailability, and has always been the “go to man” that you call upon when you need something done. To coincide with Mick’s retirement, I believe it would be an appropriate gesture to confirm Life Membership to MYC. Andrew Young Commodore
