Williamstown to Mornington Race - Palisser trophy Sat 31/10/15

31/10/2015

 
An excellent fleet of 19 MYC Boats entered and 18 boats competed. The 6am planned departure by Trim was not going to happen with the storm peaking at this time. The race started in a deluge of rain and  thunderstorm in 8 knots SE. Those sailing in the middle of the fleet were able to sail in just one tack to the finish via the spoil ground. The boats arrived at Mornington by 3.05 pm in 8 knots NE. The fastest and on Line Honours was Javelin , Mark Nicholson in 4 hours, 17 Minutes. We were well represented in all divisions. Click here for the full results. Those on the podium are as follows:

Division 1. Windsong - Jim Watson  1st AMS and 1st PHC.
                  Javelin - Mark Nicholson 2nd AMS  ,
                  Phoenix - P.Bennet, P . Green - 2nd PHC 3rd AMS
                  Anna - P. De Lange - 3rd AMS

Division 2. YT2 - Stuart Gooley and Andrew Young 1st AMS 2nd PHC
                 Sanjura - Keith Ross 2nd AMS, 1st PHC It must have been the crew long lunch at SYC                            yesterday that gave them the energy to win.
                 Adios - Geoff Hancock 3rd PHC

Division 3 Tub Thumper - G. Heard and A. Creed 1st PHC, 1st CBH
                 Mixed Nuts - Tim O'Grady 2nd PHC

The Good Guys Mornington Twilight Series race 1 , 29 October

31/10/2015

 
The sponsor Good Guys Mornington ensured us that the Sun was consistently shining but the wind could not make up its mind if it was a 10-15 knot East, West, North or Southerly.
It seemed we were to have New Race entries including The Enterprize, Cleanskin and Living the Dream But.... The Enterprize was late. Cleanskin followed the Enterprize after getting lost in the Fisherman Jetty harbour  and Living the Dream  wanted to be a keelboat and not a 420 for the afternoon.
Jonno Neate also arrived late with a Melges 28.

The burgers were as good as usual thanks to Pam, Pam and Bobby but the lack of Ice was not popular.

​The results and racing was superb thanks again to Steve, Julia and Barbara!
Congratulations to all 32 boats  that sailed as it was the best place on the bay to be tonight.

1st Beluga,  Rob Spicer
2nd The Doctor, Grahame Holmes
3rd First Light, Andrew Weber
Full Results here

I thought First Light would have been overweight with the amount of pre race catering.

Special mention and welcome  to new boat and  first race  Bigger day Out - Remco Pen 

Also this Saturday Trim, Tony Grundy and Lucinda, Bruce Mills are looking for Crew to sail the Williamstown to Mornington race on Saturday. Contact Tony and Bruce direct or contact the MYC office.

Thank you Tony Coco at The Good Guys Mornington for the sponsorship!

There was more chicken and more than just chicken on the night. The happy atmosphere, camaraderie between old and new members and catering made the night really fun for all. We had our Youth Captain Jack Purcell introducing his mates from the band and made special with Country pop singer Jordja singing an arcapello rendition of Shania Twain's hit - "Man ,I feel like a woman." Our Vice Commodore Sheryl looked stunning and a special thank you to Sheryl and her social team of Kerry, Taryn and Pam for making the night happen. The Commodore GA did not look too shabby either in his ironed blue shirt.It all makes for a great start to the Opening Day weekend with racing today and the Opening tomorrow.

Sail Sandy Regatta - Sat 17th October & Sun 18th October

20/10/2015

 
Picture

A long but fun weekend of racing at SYC on the weekend saw some great results from Team MYC over the weekend at Sail Sandy with 17 MYC members competing. There was a big variation in wind ranges, with light winds in the morning building into decent sea breezes. Rhett Gowans standing out again in the highly competitive Laser class 2nd overall. Great to see Courtney and Steph out for their first effort in the 420. Sophie and Ella 4th overall just ahead of Stan and Kristian followed by Caroline and Jack. Nick and James only did one day due to exams, so results don’t show it but they led after day 1. The 6 opti sailors had some great results with John Faulkner 10th just ahead of Will Mackenzie, Lachie Weber, Jaz Evendon, Jack Eickmeyer and Milly Evenden.

MYC WeatherCam update

19/10/2015

 
We had yet another curve ball thrown at us recently with the catastrophic failure of our 10 year old weather data server. To be honest, this machine has been pretty good to us - it has operated in its current role since the WeatherCam's inception in 2008!

That's one hell of a long life for a PC that lives in a super hot, seriously cold and salty environment 24/7!

The unit has now been replaced and had a complete system software rebuild. We are back to normal health.

We reckon if we can keep the crows/ravens (call them what you want!) off the instruments, we will have an uninterrupted display for you for many moons.

They have broken several units to date....
Picture
PS, We also have decided to shift the WeatherCam menu item on our website to be the first item under the Weather heading. It's now much easier and quicker to access.

Race Official Tips - Taking a Penalty

15/10/2015

 
Picture
When you are out sailing, and for some reason or other you realise that you have broken a rule (touched a mark, misjudged a port/starboard), what are your obligations? Do you have to wait until someone calls “protest” and flies a flag, or should you just do a penalty turn anyway?
The answer is very simple – if you know you have broken a rule, you are required to take the appropriate penalty.
There is no rule in the rule book that explicitly states that this is the case, but the generally accepted policy amongst Juries is that under Rule 2, “sportsmanship”, if you know you have broken a rule and fail to take the appropriate penalty, then you have broken the sportsmanship rule, and the penalty for breaking this rule is a DNE – Disqualification that cannot be dropped from your series score.
During the European summer I sat on a number of hearings with International Juries. Two of them were the RC protesting a competitor for touching a start mark. Once it was proven that the competitor was aware that they had touched the mark, there was almost no discussion – they were given a DNE for the race, and not just a DSQ.
So the message is – if you know you have broken a rule, do your penalty even if you don’t hear a call of “protest” and do not run the risk of a DNE from a protest committee.
