Commodore’s ReportAndrew WilsonA lot has happened to say the leastsince my last report, so I will try tokeep it short.It’s hard to believe that we only have 4weeks left before the season finishes.During the Christmas/New Year periodthe dinghy club hosted the Sabre andJavelin Australian Championships. Itwas great to see the club and its members enjoying some great sailing conditions and enjoying what Perth and ourclub can provide. Warm weather, wind,friendly atmosphere, minimal sailingtime to get to the course areas andexperienced race management. Withthe help of Royal Perth Yacht Club andRobin Olsen’s race management squadthe dinghy club raised the standardsfor yet another great championship. Ireceived many thanks from visitors toour club for providing such a hospitable, friendly and relaxed atmosphere,so I pass that on to you our membersand say thanks.Whilst all our members travelled toand represented PDSC around Australia I received the sad news of the passing of one of our clubs Honorary Members, Greg Hennessy. Father to Brien,father-in-law to Mandy and grandfather to Gen and Rosie. Greg was nevershort of a story about his sailing adventures and “life experiences” that always involved a few drinks and manylaughs. Greg a keen race officer wasthe reason that both my father anduncle got into race management.Greg’s attention to detail and dedication to the sport of sailing showed oth-ers what could be achieved while notforgetting the reason why you are doing it, to have fun. You will be missedGreg, RIP.On a brighter note, a few weeks agothe club got to celebrate a few of itsmembers turning 80. Tom Burt, JockRoss, Bill Devine and Rod Sloss(almost). Although some of these birthdays aren’t for another 6 months theclub was filled with friends and family.A great afternoon was enjoyed by all. Ithink Tom has been planning this forawhile making it the longest birthdaycelebration ever. How many chocolatecakes is it now guys!?!?In a weeks’ time the club will be conducting the Muddie state championships. A massive weekend with theclub filled with many “little” people Iencourage all who have kids, grandkids or just interested members to seewhat goes on to come on down andget amongst it. Sure to be a greatevent. Planning is well underway forthe next big event to be staged atPDSC. The i14 2020 Perth Worlds. Youwill see the new logo displayed at theclub last weekend in its big reveal. Thelogo is based around the the club and14’s are working together to ensurethis championship is a Success for bothclub, class and competitors. Staytuned for more event details as wedraw closer to the event.As our season draws to a close wealso see the Forrest Hall construction open its doors to the public andresidents. We can now enjoy accessto our lease without having to dealwith construction traffic and delays.Once our season finishes we willhave the builders on our lease toreinstate lawns, put fences back,replace and improve the entry tothe club. This will then enable us toput in place some long-term strategies to cater for our clubs growingneeds with boat storage, carparkingand further club expansions.As the season draws to a close welook forward to celebrating the successful season at the clubs Presentation Night. Always a great eveningand a great way to debrief the seasons highs and lows, triumphs and“spills”. The Committee and Flagslooks forward to seeing you allthere.I would like to Wish all our membersa safe and Happy Easter and I lookforward to catching up with you allfor the last 4 weeks of season2017/18.Yours in SailingCommodore Andrew Wilsonperthsailing.org.au
ON THE WIREAutumn 1991A Guide to Good CrewingBefore Race DayInternational 14The 2018 I14 State Championship wascompleted over the Labor Day longweekend in Bunbury. The series thisyear was spread out over the seasonwith three heats prior to Christmas andfour following the nationals.Brams and Walters were convincingwinners, sailing consistently through allwind strengths.Brams also won the Hector Wallersailed at Nedlands Yacht Club, withFooty stepping in to crew. Unfortunately the Jolly Codger wasn't quiteFooty proof with the rack having to belashed back to the hull to complete therace. Stu and Vonnie came in second.They suffered a broken rudder whilstleading Heat 5 which ended their titlechances. Luggy and Phil finished third.It will be interesting to see the rig andsail setup on the Stealth next season,with rumours he will be returning tothe CST HM 4 with a stiffer track to suithis new sails.Over the past few weeks it has beengood to see the return of Del BocaVista to the water. Brad and Footyhave been busy this year coaching29ers and O’pen Bics.With the season coming to an end,looking forward to seeing everyone onthe water for the final two club heats,over the next month.Steve VanceAny 14 needs a great deal ofwork done on it to keep it racingtrim. Most of this work seems tofall on the skippers shoulders. Asa keen, enthusiastic, but nodoubt lazy crew, it is vital to givethe skipper the impression thatyou are keen to work on theboat as sail it, without having toactually do any of the work.Once you have exhausted all thestandard excuses, and it is apparent you have to actually turnup and do something, concentrate hard, get the right toolsand parts for the job and thenSTUFF IT UP. Under no circumstances do anything properlyand don’t admit to being able tobeing able to mix glue, do whippings, lay fiberglass or even doup a shackle.Approaching boat maintenancein this way should result in thework being done quickly, efficiently and most importantly,without you being there.Author—Some Lazy Crewperthsailing.org.au
NATIONAL JAVELIN NEWSOctober 1986 EditionIt was a cold summer morningthat day in Melbourne. The windwas blowing 20-25 knots andPort Philip Bay looked like abumpy windswept ocean.JavelinWith the largest part of the currentseason behind us and as I write thesenotes with half of the Javelin fleettucked into a container on its wayacross the ditch to New Zealand, it istime to reflect on past results in asomewhat disjointed season for theclass.Over the Christmas and New Year period the Club hosted the 47th JavelinAustralian Championships in whatproved to be a week of medium tostrong breezes. With a small but competitive fleet made up from the sixboats entered for the weekly racing,two boats from Victoria, one formerand one current I14 crew who chartered boats that had not been sailedthis season and a scratch crew on theSwan Song, the 11 boat fleet experienced some good competitive racing.Five boats shared the wins in the 9heat series, Harken Fast (5 bullets) andthe Victorian boat, Sledge Hammer,and locals Jo-Anne, Windrush and the“Senior” Vance boys in the charteredboat Volatile II, each winning the remaining 4 heats. The final result produced no real surprises. Congratulations to Dale Oakley and Paul Cochranein Harken Fast for an even and consistent series throughout, winning theChampionship. They were followed bySledge Hammer with Windrush (whoheld off Jo-Anne in a countback) for 3rdspot on the podium.With a small fleet spread across allheats and the Invitation Race, trophiesfor the series were evenly distributedacross all competitors (funny how itworked out!), so that no one left thepresentation night without a trophyand due recognition.Kerman Contractingkerman.com.auperthsailing.org.auAfter some deliberation, it wasdecided that the race would besailed. Somebody must havechecked the wind gauge during alull!Less than half the fleet startedand only six finished.Our status could only be described as “out of control”. I didpass the remark to the crewabout the spinnaker but the reply came in a type of English notoften heard emanating from female lips.”The Javelin Nationals turned intoa survival test which turned thetitle in favour of a light youngWA crew who proved more thanequal to it. Graeme “are-youawake-yet” Everett and Robert“Panel Pin” Nail sailing Mac-simum won both races and it wasa feat which proved instrumentalin their winning the series.Noel Devine
Javelin (Continued)A big thankyou to the Club and itsmanagement team, visiting race officials, organised by the Club, themany club volunteers who came forward for the week in all of the support roles, meant that a good coordinated and friendly series ensued.Thanks to all the friends and familiesof the competitors who supportedthose racing as well.On the club racing scene and with theapproval of the Management Committee, the Club Championship will becontested over a reduced number of4 heats, on the basis that the boatsgoing to New Zealand will be back forthe last heat on 28th April. The usualsuspects are one and two at thisstage, with Harken Fast and Jo-Anneseparated by 1 point for first andsecond with the rest in the distantdaylight.As mentioned earlier, 5 boats andtheir connections are on the way tothe Takapuna Boating Club on thenorth shore of Auckland in New Zealand for the 25th South Pacific Championships over the Easter weekend.They are Harken Fast, Jo-Anne,Windrush, Fat Boys and The Edge.Our hopes are high to beat the Kiwison their own patch or at the veryDale & Paul making a splash ontheir way to winning theJavelin National Championshipsperthsailing.org.auleast to bring a competitive group andappropriate results to the series. Following the hard work by the local fleetand their supporters and with the generous support of the wider club membersand friends in embracing the fund raisingventure, this has made it all possible. Abig thank you to all for their support.Follow the action atwww.takapunaboating.org.nz. or thejavelin site at www.javelins.org.nz.On a final note, it is great to see the“green boat” Phelghm back on the waterand to welcome back Daniel Firns andnew crew back into Javelin sailing.GM and Dan

O’Pen Bic—2018 Wrap2018 Australian O’pen Bic Championships 4-9 Jan Moreton Bay Boat Club, QLD.The Nationals were held in sunny QLD in January and as usual it was a great event for all levels of sailors, including the Silverfleet sailors. Winds started very light but did build up over the course of the event with a full 12 races being completed plus anumber of 2 up and fancy dress races and the appearance of the bridge of doom, which did blow away at one point. Therewere lots of opportunity for socialising and bonding for the kids and parents alike.WA was well represented with 7 Gold fleet and 2 Silver fleet sailors attending. PDSC being represented by Rosie Hennessy, Jenna Everett and Aiden Grove. All WA sailors used hire boats for the event so there was no packing and unpacking of sea containers much to the parent’s relief.Pre-event training was organised by Denis Jones over a number of days prior to Christmas at MBSC. The WA team were ablycoached during the event by Lachy Gilmour who even got to enjoy his 21st Birthday with the kids who even threw a party at theEverett/Hennessy/Drew share/frat house.Travis Wadley (QLD) took out the overall Gold fleet with Will Drew second followed by Rosie 3 rd overall and 3rd in U16, Jenna 7thoverall and 3rd in U13 and Aiden 24th overall and 13th in U16. A strong showing from WA’s Silver fleet with Jeremy Fox 3rd, TylerSprunt 4th.These are great events and I would encourage all sailorsand families to participate especially since next year it willbe held across the ditch in NZ, immediately prior to theO’pen Bic Worlds at Manly Sailing Club, Auckland, 28th Dec2018 to 5th Jan 2019. Michelle Everett, who was unanimously voted in as President of the Australian Bic Association, will shortly start sending out information as there is alot to organise. It should be a great series of events andwould encourage all gold and silver fleet sailors to seriously consider attending.VIC O’pen Bic Championships 17-18 Feb 2018 Rye Yacht Club.Two of our BIC sailors travelled over to VIC for their national competition, seems only fair since Hamish tried to steal our trophyin December. It was a tough first day but the second day saw Rosie securing 3rd overall behind Travis Wadley and Hamish Cowell. Jenna finished 6th overall and 2nd (behind Breanne Wadley) in the under 13 division.Andrew Groveperthsailing.org.au

Spraytalk Jan/Feb 1986South-West ChampionshipsGeographe Bay YCWhile the races were in progress it was reported that ourladies secretly practiced theirwindsurfing, with the aim ofrepresenting PDSC in the 1986“Bridge-to-Bridge”.SignetRegular Spraytalk readers may recall anarticle earlier this season that told thestory of four Signets that sailed acrossthe English Channel in 1963. That articlewas written by Paul Nicholson and reproduced with the kind permission ofthe UK SigneT Class Owners Association.When I wrote to Paul seeking permission to reproduce his story, I sent himsome notes about the SigneTs at PDSC,accompanied by some photos of Kayand me, wreaking havoc in The Menace. Paul was pleased to hear about ourSigneT fleet in Australia and was mostinterested to see that our boats havespreaders on the mast. The UK fleetdoes not have spreaders and mast damage is not uncommon.Paul is planning to include links to thePDSC Signet web page on the UK website and we will reciprocate. If you’reinterested, check outhttp://www.impartweb.co.uk/signet/index.htmNow for an update on the season.Numbers have been down a little sinceChristmas with some members balancing family and work commitments andother boats under repair. Nonetheless,there’s been some tight racing. Katie(Peter Harffey/Jake Fitzsimmons) leadsThe Phantom (Kim Prance/Nelly Sadler)in both the Club and State Championships. There is a right royal battle on forthird in the Club Championship, withonly four points separating the nextfour boats. The Menace (David and KayHorn) is currently just holding our DAC(Mark and Phoemela Mackay) on acount-back for third and I suspect thefinal results will only be determined inthe final race of the season.David HornThe Menace, ST890UK SigneTs on Ullswater in the Lakes Districtperthsailing.org.auThis was confirmed whenJudy Flynn complained ofskinned knees, Jennie Warnerskinned elbows and JudyWear chest pains.Beryl Kerman mustered it andonly complained of sore ribsfrom laughing.Rob WarnerUK SigneTs in the mist
