Letter from the Commodore A warm welcome to all members. I am really looking forward to 2017 and it has already been a great start to the sailing season with two SBSC yachts competing up north at Hamilton Island and also Magnetic Island Race Weeks. Congratulations to both skippers and crew Tom Hoogenbosch and Rob Rainsford. At our AGM this year we said farewell to some extremely hard working members of the General Committee and I would like to thank Peter Bulka, Katrina Mackie, Louise Warren and Andrew Clarke for their tireless work over the past two years. Although very hard shoes to fill, I am pleased to have Ross Martin as Vice Commodore. Glenn Lazzar as Rear Commodore, Gareth Davies as Club Secretary, Gavan Dowden as Treasurer and Grant Chipperfield as Keel Boat Club Captain. I would also like to thank Don Fraser for taking over the role of Club Membership. I am looking forward to meeting in the next week with our Social Committee to discuss upcoming functions with more of that to come. We are on the cusp of a very exciting two years with works being done to the Club internally to enhance the experience of the club facilities to members. Members will be updated by Ross Martin on the works program over the next few months. I look forward to meeting you all at the Commodores Cocktail Party to start another fantastic summer season of sailing at what is the greatest Club on the Bay. See you at the Club

Keel Boat & Trailable News
Chippa’s Chirp...
What a great spring day Sunday’s race was, sun was out and again eight boats
that ventured out enjoyed the on water start and nicely set course thanks to
Geoff (RO), Glen, Ross, Sandy (Assistant RO), Rob and Roy in the tower.
We started in 12 knots and the starters took my advice from last week and set a
slightly favoured pin (keeping most of the fleet away from the boat end), with
fleet splitting left and right, front runners finding some breeze in the middle to left
side on the first work. As expected After Midnight jumped out in front with Rouge
and Garisenda, the run saw Calypso and Razors Edge get back in the game while
yours truly bringing up the rear.
Calypso did better and got back into the top 3 on the second beat, After Midnight
cleared out from Calypso and Razors Edge, wind really dropping out now to
5 knots gave Razors Edge a nice advantage moving into second, last work saw
sometimes less than 5 knots.
Joker moved out of the wooden spoon with the help from the Code 0 and some
more breeze on left side of course, Gadget having trouble getting steering and
doing circles in about 3 knots at top mark , by then the front runners were almost
finishing.
Well done to PHD results – Razors Edge 1st, Calypso 2nd After Midnight 3rd.
Next week hope to see a few more out, spread the news and break out those
shorts… t will be over 20 degrees!!
Glen, Ross, Geoff, Sandy, Rob and the team said they had so much fun they
committed to running the rest of the series (thank you).
So If rostered on for the spring series you can now just come racing.
