Laser Class Development

31/5/2018

 
Picture
Once a month the Head of State Coaching – Carrie Smith and the VST Squad invites you to join the Class Development Coaching Program at various locations. This program has a focus on participation and class development. The Class Development Coaching Program will operate one day per month (Sunday AM/PM sessions) aligned with the VST class specific clinics as per the attached calendar.
Sitting underneath the VST the goals of this program are:
  • To develop the skills of sailors new to the approved pathway classes and allow them the opportunity to engage with VST athletes.
  • To develop the skills of club and class association coaches through a mentoring process with the Head of State Coaching.
This will include:
  • Class Development held once a month training along with VST
  • Training with Head of State Coaching with daily briefing and de-briefing

Annual General Meeting DATE

28/5/2018

 
Picture
Date of MYC Annual General Meeting

The General Committee have scheduled the AGM  for Sunday 15th July at 11am. This is about 4 weeks after we normally conduct the AGM but it is well within the time frame stipulated in our Constitution of 5 Months after our year end.

There are several commercially sound reasons why we have scheduled the date in July, I have listed below some of those reasons:
  1. It provides the MYC in conjunction with our Auditors Smart Business Solutions a suitable time frame to have our financials audited, prepared and then distributed to the membership prior to the AGM. I met with our auditors last week and they were very supportive of holding the AGM in July as this provides ample time to conduct the audit in a thorough manner.
  2. As we have advised previously we are working on formulating a Future Directions document and the content will be very much dictated by the feedback we receive from our membership at the member forums and key stakeholder meetings. By the AGM in July we should be able to provide an initial overview of that plan.

Update on Japanese trip by Lily & Matilda Richardson

14/5/2018

 
We have recently had the opportunity to compete in Karatzu, Japan for their qualifying event for the 2018 youth worlds. This was a great learning experience for us both, traveling over seas without parents, racing in a 75-boat fleet and sailing in a different location with very different conditions from our own sea breeze in Port Philip Bay.

Prior to the event we had 3 days training with the Japanese team, experiencing their strict rules and morals. They provided us with good competition during the practice racing, and we got to test our skills in all wind ranges over our training block. We used the three training days as good preparation for the regatta, working with our coach Dan Smith and the Japanese coaches to process racing skills as a high-performance athlete. The Japanese have a very hard work ethic, doing 3 sessions on the water each day and doing fitness on top of that. They were very full days, of training on water and keeping up with boat work on our charter 420.

We had one break day two days before the regatta started, which we used to visit a traditional Japanese temple, where we explored and did our morning fitness with the team. We also got to visit a natural onsang which is a traditional spa where they draw the spring water out of the ground and the water temperature sits at 45 degrees. The rest of the day we used to finish some school work, rest and plan our racing.

Day 1 of racing was windy ranging from 16 – 25 knots, it was a huge day having 7 hours on the water completing 4 races and 12 hours at the yacht club. We had solid results that day finishing with a 5, 1, 5, 2. That night we had a dinner at the yacht club after racing which we used to get to know the Japanese team.

Day 2 of racing was moderate winds but still a tricky day on water due to big wind shifts and different weather patterns. Our results were not as consistent, we had a 7, 13, 6. It was a big day because we were held on shore for 4 hours before racing. We were scheduled to do 4 races, but we ran out of daylight and had to finish on 3. We took away a lot of valuable lessons from the days racing.

Day 3 of racing was a very big lesson for us. We went into the day first girls and 6th overall, the forecast was 30 knots and raining. The race committee sent us out in a moderate but building breeze. The wind increased before the first start, so we had to change boat settings to de power the rig. Unfortunately, we capsized during the process which resulted in our mast falling out. We worked as quickly as we could in the water to detach the mast from the boat while it was upside down to minimize damage. There was minor breakages to the mast and hull which lead us to being unable to race that day. Because of this we slipped back to third girl and 14th overall and learnt some very hard lessons.

We had an amazing time in Japan and want to bring back to Australia the Japanese work ethic, respect and sportsmanship. A massive thanks goes to the Australian coaches Dan Smith and Belinda Stowell, and to the Japanese Sailing Federation for hosting us.

We would also like to thank the MYC Foundation for supporting us and making opportunities like this possible,

Record rate for Hamilton Island Race Week 2018

7/5/2018

 
Picture
More than 100 entries come at a record rate for Hamilton Island Race Week 2018
 
After living in California for 46 years, ex-pat Australian, and international yachtsman, Robbie Vaughan, decided a few months ago to return home to Hobart, semi-retire and enter his classic 20-metre long sloop, Van Diemen III, in Hamilton Island Race Week 2018.
 
When the entry was lodged a few days ago, Van Diemen III became the 100th nomination for the acclaimed regatta which is scheduled for August 18 to 25. And, making the milestone even more impressive was the fact that the first 100 entries came at a rate faster than that seen in 2016 when a record 252 yachts competed at Race Week.
