Scout Week end

15/11/2022

 
This past weekend saw over 180 budding scouts from across the Mornington Peninsula and around Victoria come down to Mother's Beach to go sailing. It was a great experience to take part in, and a wonderful opportunity for the club to strengthen our relationship with the scouts. Saturday was great weather, and despite the forecast, so was Sunday! With our instructors at the helm in the pacers, the scouts rotated through the boats, learning about the jib, tacking and gybing, as well as basic sea survival skills. We received glowing feedback about our instructors, so a big thanks to Daniel, Mel and Milly for representing MYC!

Works in Progress

15/11/2022

 
Picture
The General Committee has approved concreting the hardstand area at the back of the yard. This task will replace current gravel areas and remove broken up concrete. Drainage will substantially be improved.  Works will commence from Thursday the 16th of November and are expected to take 10 days to complete. We will need to move specific trailer sailor yachts and we will be in contact with respective owners as required. The works are an important precursor to making better utilization of the space available ensuring the yard works more efficiently in the future.   

We are also making good progress on providing a more secure undercover area  for kayaks with many of these craft in future being stored between the rib and Sailability area with separate access. 

On completion of the kayak storage area works will commence on expanding the female change room.

Ocean Sailing Events

The anniversary races just keep on coming with the club to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the race to Apollo Bay in May 2023.  A popular category 3 race, as the you sail in company along the coastline on what we fondly refer to as the Great Ocean Road “Sail”.  

We invite all to come try ocean sailing before taking on the Apollo Bay race and join the West Offshore Coastal Sprint on December 3rd.  Together these races form part of the Coastal Championship Series.  Try coastal sailing and join the race on December 3rd which starts and finishes in daylight, in time to have you home that night. https://www.orcv.org.au/about-the-series

ORCV Rip Tour of Port Phillip Heads 
“The Rip” is the narrow entrance to Port Phillip, where underwater reefs limit the navigable entrance to just 0.6nm and provides a restricted tidal flow between the ocean and Port Phillip, where over 4,000 commercial vessels transit annually.  

Once a year, the ORCV runs an on-water tour from a large ferry looking at the navigation aids, tides, how to and which channels to use, radio protocols etc for a safe transit of the heads.

The tour runs inside the bay but travels around the head's region, and offers not only an educational experience but a great day on the water.  

A great Christmas gift, learn more and book here https://www.orcv.org.au/training/rip-tour-of-port-phillip-heads

Festival of Sails 2023

2/11/2022

 
Picture
CELEBRATE WITH US AT FOS2023

We are excited to celebrate the major milestone of our 180th iconic Melbourne to Geelong Passage Race during the Festival of Sails 2023.

The Passage Race attracts boats and yachts of all classes, taking to the waters of Port Phillip Bay for the opening challenge of the four-day regatta, which will run from Thursday, January 26 to Sunday, January 29, 2023.

According to incoming Festival of Sails Chairman Paul Buchholz, the proudly Geelong-based event is a firm favourite with sailors from all over Australia, and he expects the opportunity to be part of the 180th anniversary celebrations will be even more of a reason to head to Corio Bay this January. 

“You can’t deny the importance of any event hitting such a momentous milestone and we are incredibly proud of how the Festival of Sails showcases not only the best of competitive sailing, but also the very best of Geelong and our region,” Paul said. 

“After more than two years of waves of Covid-related restrictions and interruptions to businesses and events, we think the 180th anniversary is a pretty good reason to celebrate, and we’ll be inviting everyone to join us!"

Goldfinger Rescue

2/11/2022

 
Like most of us Simon and Amy are pretty emotionally invested in their yacht and had been looking forward to racing and cruising with their friends this season.

I don’t think we have ended up with a yacht so far beyond Shire Beach along the rocks. The retrieval was a difficult operation not only from an lifting perspective but also with getting authorization to travel over the rocks given environmental and heritage concerns. We learnt a few handy methods to expedite this if we need to in the future. 

As it emerged fortunately Goldfinger is in relatively good shape and we are particularly pleased that Hart Marine will be undertaking the repair work. 

Many of our members including marine contractors dropped their plans for Friday and Sunday to help. A sincere thankyou to all. 

We look forward to the return of Goldfinger to Mornington and wish Simon and Amy some restful nights ahead and great sailing adventures later in the season.  

Andrew Young, Commodore

The Confusion Cup!

2/11/2022

 
Picture
A light hearted report by Peter Green, Remedy M2

This year’s race has been run and won by Zippier, but not after considerable drama and Race Rule Protests.

The Confusion Cup Race:   Mornington to Williamstown started at 6am.
The lead into the Williamstown to Mornington Race at 10am.

Remedy M2 and Zippier the only starters.

30 knot Westerly winds , large breaking seas, allowed cracked sheets and a wet and sometimes wild trip.

Remedy taking around 3 hours and Zippier an incredible 1 hour 10 minutes the new and never to be broken race record.

Subsequent Protests in confusion after the finish at Williamstown, Zippier lodged several protests against themselves and are as follows:
  • Rule 28.1 Sailing a Proper Course:   Failed to keep the West Gate Bridge to Starboard and in fact rounded to Port.
  • Rule 48.2 Limits on Equipment and Crew: Safety of boat and crew safety issue. No Boom. always Exceeding a safe speed.
  • Rule 41 Outside Help:  That Boom issue not on the boat at start time and sailed entire race with no boom only set on the boat after finishing.
  • Rule 42.1 Propulsion : Used motorised power.

All protests were dismissed and considered out of hand.  The race results stand.

Well done Zippier up and back line honours.

Zippier finish time of one hour ten minutes a record, will never be broken.

Peter Green, Remedy M2

Determination Gets Results!

2/11/2022

 
It was Tuesday afternoon, and the ORCV had just announced that the Melbourne to Devonport race we had entered, was cancelled. We were shattered!  All our hard work preparing boats, watching weather models and preparing for a ripper reach/run to Devenpoprt was in vain.

I jumped onto the computer to see what the upcoming race at MYC would be;  Williamstown to Mornington. Okay, this could be good if the predicted weather prevailed. It was a similar bearing to the finish as the Devonport. Yes, we are on!  I entered the race and started to put the crew together; myself, Dad (Tony Donnellan), Mick Daddo, Shaun Miles, Tristan Batey and Samual Savage.

Next step, lock in a driver to bring the car and trailer back from Williamstown. It was all starting to fall into place by Wednesday afternoon and with 20-25 knots from the west it was going to be a ripper ride.
I studied the weather models and course bearings, made my notes and was ready for the ride to come. We had a crew meeting at the yacht club post Thursday night race, we had been two minutes late to the start of that race, so I had to get my A game on!

We decided if the weather was going to be fair Friday morning we would sail to Williamstown.
Friday morning at MYC, it was blowing 35 knots from the North West and the seaway rolling into Mornington Harbour was straight out of the Northwest. ‘Goldfinger’ was on the rocks. This was a bad idea…Feeling sad for Simon, I offered as much help  as I could.

The decision was quickly made to drop the rig and drive the boat to Williamstown. We got halfway through the process – boom and sheets were taken off and put aside in the yard. The boat was packed and now all we needed to do was to lower the rig. It was still blowing 30knots. It didn't feel like a good idea, so called Dad for his help and thoughts on how to lower the rig safely  – after all, we didn’t need to damage another boat today.  The silence on the phone answered my question, it wasn’t going to happen today.

We changed plans and started doing a few maintenance jobs, then the rain came down; heavier and heavier by the minute. We conceded to the weather thinking it's just not going to happen. Do we pull the pin on the race? We just haven't had a thing go our way this week. Maybe it was a sign, the question was, do I listen?  So on that thought we went to the bar. It was Friday afternoon and what better place to watch the weather roll in than the MYC bar.

We decided to meet at the club at 5 am and have another crack at lowering the mast. After all, the rest of the boat was packed up.  But the battle to get to the start line was far from over! That night, Dad wanted to pull the pin, Mick wasn't sure he could sail – it was all seeming too difficult. I  was shattered. All I wanted to do was sail a fast yacht race. It seemed to be over until Mick confirmed his crew position. Dad then committed and we were on!  Happy days!  I went to bed early. I wanted to be prepared.

At 4 am Saturday morning I jumped out of bed, determined to make it to the start line. I didn’t even care how we went in the race, I just wanted to go fast.  We arrived at the yacht club at 5 am. Dad was still in bed, it was Shaun, Sam, myself and 22 knots from the west. This is going to be risky, we moved the boat into the lee of the club room and took our care to lower the rig. Success! No damage. We can still go sailing. We loaded the rest of the gear into the boat and picked up Dad.  We were Williamstown bound. 

Arriving slightly before seven, we had re-rigged and run sheets. We were almost ready to go…until Shaun asked ‘Tim, where is the boom?’  I thought it was all over…again! My heart sank, I knew exactly where it was. The same place it was taken off the boat before the rain – in the yard near the etchells.
I couldn’t bear the thought of Dad's disappointment, so I unhitched the trailer and headed for MYC as fast as I could.

I called friends, yacht club members, anyone that could help. Laurie to the rescue! He dropped everything he was doing and went straight to the club. He found our misplaced boom and organised a boom delivery man aka Pieter Vermeer.  I was to meet them halfway at Dandenong Rd and had 40 minutes to get back to the boat and make the start line. We were back on again. I love it when a plan comes together.

The boys put the boat in the water with another car. Teamwork makes the dream work. By the time I got back it was boom on and off to the start line. We hoisted the sails and started on a reach!  Dad said ‘this is going to be a slow ride, we were doing 12 knots out of the channel and hadn't pulled the sails on yet! The joy was just starting to set in.  After two postponed starts we were off. A great decision by Mick and Dad to start at the pin end away from the rest of the fleet had us in control.

With each gust, we accelerated away from the competition, boat length by boat length. I couldn’t believe how fast this boat was! It was completely unexpected given the size of the other boats. We were in the lead, headed for R2 with 20 knots of wind still building, thinking ‘this is going to be a good ride’!

As we rounded R2, headed for the Spoil Ground mark we were nearly beating upwind. I thought ‘this is going to be uncomfortable’.  As we composed ourselves and prepared the boat for some upwind work, the rest of the fleet kept sailing on towards Mornington. Tristan piped up and asked if I knew about the new change of course in the sailing instructions, to which I replied ‘What new mark?!!’ So we beared away and started navigating from the front, trying to maintain the lead while figuring out where the next mark was based on the angle of the boats behind us.

Navionics and a quick check of the sailing instructions gave us  a new bearing.  Time to send it again! As the squalls came through and the seaway built we started surfing wave after wave, planing all the way to Mornington. We were averaging 13-14 knots of boat speed, even hitting 16.7 knots, and jumping off the back of waves.

The boat was a beast! Dad was reading out speed numbers and I was chasing the next wave but the boat was comfortable and in control. We had Mornington in our sights and in no time we were there.
We had done it! Line honours and a handicap win – I was ecstatic! The boys couldn't wait to get to the bar and start the stories. Adrenaline still pumping, I sat on the boat for a moment to reflect. It was worth all the hard work and tears. It was our determination to get to the start line that won us the race.
 
Thanks to Mornington Yacht Club and Royal Yacht Club of Victoria race officials,  Laurie, boom delivery man Pieter Vemeer, Dad, Mick, Shaun and Sam.
