Important Update to Sailing Instructions 24-25

Revised Sailing Instructions – 09 Oct 24 have been published
Twilight racing “Yachts” starts this Friday
Your sailing committee has been hard at work and released a revised set of sailing instructions for yachts.  Please read them on the website before your first race.  There have been some tweaks to the Handicap System, Pointscore System, Courses, Rounding Mark numbers and a few other minor things.  The clubs new mobile number is also listed on course sheets and in the SIs.
 REMEMBER IT IS A REQUIREMENT TO TEXT THAT NUMBER WITH YOUR BOAT NAME AND CREW COMPLEMENT BEFORE EVERY RACE!!!
Sunday sees dinghy racing back after a break on the long weekend and the second Sunday yacht race.  If you want Sunday yacht racing to continue, please come and sail.  If there are only one or two boats each weekend it won’t last.
Good luck for the new season!!

Season Start 2024-25

A quick update and reminder as we get ready to kick off the new season.  Again, a big thanks to those that helped with the painting of the top half of the club.  The bottom half will be painted by a Bunnings team soon – the tentative date is 24 September but it is to be confirmed.  It would be good if we could have a few people there on the day and I will let you all know when the day is locked in.

Dinghy racing starts next Sunday (15th).  We are a bit light staffed for starters that day.  Garry Wilson will be there but if you know anyone who would be able to jump on the course boat with him it would be a help.  Learn-to-sail doesn’t usually start until it is a bit warmer in November.  Finally a reminder that as no one has offered to take over the canteen duties you will have to bring your own lunch.  The usual drinks are available to buy if there is someone to open the shop.  If anyone can take on the canteen job, or knows someone that might be interested, I’m sure you will be very popular.

Yacht racing also starts next Sunday with the first race of Series 1.  All of the relevant information and SIs are on the website.  At the AGM there seemed to be an interest in Sunday sailing so if you would like it to keep going please come and race.  Twilight racing starts 11 October.

A date for your diaries is the weekend 16/17 November.  We are hosting the Contender state titles and it is our only regatta for the calendar year.  As our main source of income, it is important that we have 10 or 12 volunteers to run the racing.  I will be asking for volunteers and have more details in October.

Happy Sailing – hopefully there will be more wind than today!!

FREE BEER AND SAUSAGE SANGER (WORKING BEE)

Hello members.  We need to have a working bee at the club to ensure that next season runs smoothly.  It will be on Sunday 21 July starting at 0900.  Even if you can only come for a couple of hours it would help.  We need to have a thorough clean out downstairs and upstairs.
A sausage sandwich and some beers will be provided for those that come and help.  So that we can cater for the right number please email enquires@slmasc.org to indicate your attendance.  Many hands make light work!!
