Welcome to theRoyal Queensland Yacht SquadronWelcome to the Royal Queensland Yacht Squadron, an institution that has forged a proud, eduring tradition of success and community in Queensland’s boating fraternity.

Established in 1885, the Squadron has grown into a world class facility for members to enjoy their boating interests as well as providing a venue for them to enjoy the times when they are not on the water.

This book is not just a snapshot of the club for its existing members to share with friends and family, it is an opportunity for the club to reach out to its extended neighbourhood, both for members and the public. We will give you an insight into what we have to offer by showcasing our great facilities, our camaraderie with fellow members and show you that you don’t have to be a ‘boatie’ to enjoy one of the best yacht clubs in Australia.

For those who live for the water, RQYS is on the doorstep of beautiful Moreton Bay. The combination of the Bay’s excellent conditions and our love for water activities creates the perfect gateway into the various off-shore activities – including windsurfing, stand-up paddle boarding and of course, many different types of boating. You might have a youngster interested in learning to sail or you would

like to learn to sail yourself (you’re never too old), or you have thought about buying a boat and becoming involved in a club atmosphere where existing members are only too pleased to ‘show you the ropes’. The Royal Queensland Yacht Squadron can offer this and much more.

For those who like to stay ashore, we offer a range of social options, from a café and bar to a full-service restaurant as dining alternatives. All of which is in one of the most glorious settings in the world, overlooking the Manly Boat Harbour. Our members frequently enjoy the various social events the club puts on throughout the year. The Squadron often holds themed nights and celebratory events, formal balls and now hosts live music every Friday night and Sunday afternoon. We hope you enjoy the tour this book provides and we look forward to seeing you at the Squadron soon, where a warm welcome awaits you.

A warm welcome awaits you.

RQYS - History and TraditionThe Royal Queensland Yacht Squadron was established in 1885 when a group of gentlemen interested in water sports formed the Brisbane Sailing Club. Sailing quickly grew in prominence and popularity within the club and, within a few years, the Club began competing with other sailors from around Australia. The inaugural intercolonial sailing race in 22 Footers set the pace for our proud competitive tradition.

By 1894, the restriction of ‘Brisbane’ was adjusted and the club took the title of Queensland Yacht Club. In that year also the Admiralty granted members permission to fly the Blue Ensign of Her Majesty’s Fleet. In 1902 His Majesty, King Edward VII, bestowed the title ‘Royal’ on the club and, in 1961, Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II, approved a change of name to the Royal Queensland Yacht Squadron.

The final step came in 1991, when the club was registered as an incorporated company and became the Royal Queensland Yacht Squadron Limited.

The club occupied various premises in and near the centre of Brisbane prior to moving to Manly for both clubhouse and sporting activities in 1964. The marina was constructed, commencing in the early 1980s, and the premises at Manly were freeholded in 1994.

This expansion and upgrading of facilities has been mirrored in our sporting achievements, with Olympic gold medals, world and national championships, participation in America’s Cups, Admiral’s Cups and offshore, many fine performances in blue water events.

rqys.com.au | 9

The Royal Queensland Yacht Squadron is proud of its enviable record of having been involved in every Australian Olympic team since the Melbourne Games of 1956.

Ron Jenyns was the Squadron’s first competing Olympian in the Finn class at the Rome Games of 1960. 12 years later John Cuneo, Thomas Anderson and John Shaw won Olympic Gold in the Dragon class in the boat’s final appearance at the Olympic Games.

Since this monumental Olympic achievement, the Squadron has been represented at every subsequent

Olympic Games – through the work of either competitors, coaches or team managers.

RQYS is home to five out of 11 members of the Australian Sailing Team – the most successful sailing team at the recent Rio 2016 Olympic Games. Over half of the women in the Australian Olympic Sailing Team are also RQYS members.

With RQYS members reaching the very pinnacle of the sport, our founders would be justifiably proud of just how far their club has come.

RQYS Sailing AcademyThe Royal Queensland Yacht Squadron offers a wide range of nationally recognised learn to sail and sailing-related courses in dinghy, keelboat and board classes; no matter where you are in your sailing journey, the Squadron has a pathway to get you where you want to go.

For Kids: The Squadron has a proud tradition of developing young sailors and offering opportunities to juniors whatever the extent of their ambitions – be it as Olympic hopeful, or purely for fun and recreation. Our children learn to sail courses and programs cater for all ages over 6 and run both during the school term and during school holidays.

Our qualified instructors are experienced sailors in their own right who are also vigilant about safety and sun protection. They will not only make sure your child is safe, but that they have the time of their lives exploring the sport of sailing.

Sail & Play:

A week-long school holiday program that introduces kids to the fun and excitement of boating, helps them meet new people and make new friends, and has kids of all ages enjoying the great outdoors.

Tackers 1, 2 & 3:

This is a hierarchical program designed to progress kids through the basics of sailing – including sailing theory, safety, boat handling and maintenance and racing fundamentals; until they are ready to race all on their own! The staging of this program ensures that children have the flexibility to progress through, repeat and complete competencies as needed.

For Teens & Adults: For the young and young at heart, we have a variety of courses, programs and vessels to suit everyone. Whether you’re looking to be a champion competitive racer or if you want to take your family for a cruise on the weekends, we can give you the skills and knowledge you need.

rqys.com.au | | rqys.com.au 2928

Dinghies:

Small boat sailing courses for the adventurous or competitive. We introduce you to the basics of sailing on a double-handed dinghy, including boat handling, safety, sailing theory and other sailing essentials: weather, tides, rules and regulations.

Keelboats:

A collection of courses designed to acclimatise aspiring sailors to yachting, we teach you everything you need to know to both crew and skipper a larger vessel: boat handling, safety, sailing theory, weather, tides, procedures, rules and regulations.

For Families: The Squadron has a unique sailing program that allows individuals and families to use Squadron vessels for their own sailing adventures! The Come Sail Our Boats program superbly incorporates Membership and Sailing Academy to give participants the ability to learn and sail on their own time, according to their interests – across 10 or 20 sails depending on the package.

If you’re new to the sport, you will be taught to sail by very experienced and qualified instructors and awarded the Start Skippering Certification. Then you will be able to use the rest of your sails, to privately

use the boats without an instructor. When you are certified and competent, you will need to contact us to organise when you can privately use the boats.

This is the perfect option for people who want to learn to sail and then privately use boats to race or cruise without the supervision of Instructors, or competent sailors who do not own a boat. It is also extremely flexible and incredible value!

Windsurfing (Kids & Adults!): Want something a bit different? Give windsurfing a go! Our Start Windsurfing course covers everything from sailing theory, wind awareness, board handling, rigging, launching and retrieving gear, self-rescue, plus all the basic sailing techniques required to progress a complete novice to a level where they can sail in and out and up and downwind confidently in up to 12 knots of wind.

All gear is provided and is modern learner friendly gear. In the last session, participants will join the Club Windsurfing group to put their news skills to use. Following completion of the course all participants will be invited to attend Club Windsurfing on a regular basis.

Sailing ProgramNo matter what class of boat you sail, you are always welcome at Royal Queensland Yacht Squadron. The club can offer a comprehensive year-round sailing calendar which will satisfy even the keenest competitive sailor.

Weekend competitive sailing is offered for “off-the-beach” dinghies, Etchells and right up to ocean racers. WAGS social racing takes place on Wednesday afternoon. Members have an outstanding record as champions at State, National, International and Olympic level.

The Etchells class is certainly one of the most active and enduring communities within the Squadron.

Since the first boat arrived in 1977 Etchells have

graced the hardstand; the one-design class will be hosting their second world championships here in Brisbane in 2018.

Royal Queensland Yacht Squadron has a number of regular sailing events outside the Summer and Winter Seasons, including offshore yacht racing; one of the biggest club run dinghy sailing regattas in the world and a Wednesday afternoon series designed to introduce new-comers to the sport of sailing in a

MEET DAVID BOCA. DAVID OPERATES A BOUTIQUE ACCOUNTANCY AND TAX PRACTICE IN BAY STREET, WYNNUM. UPON MEETING WITH DAVID YOU WILL QUICKLY

DETERMINE THAT HE IS NOT YOUR AVERAGE ACCOUNTANT. GONE ARE THE GREY SLACKS AND THE OLD SCHOOL TIE. WHO CARES ABOUT THAT STUFF!

Gone also are the pay by the hour rates and replaced with fixed fee arrangements to suit your circumstances and size of business. Easy pay-by-the-month instalments instead of the lump-sums that you cant jump over. Pick up the phone without the thought of your Accountant ticking off another 15 minute block on the timesheet!

His mission is to add value to your business and is driven by positive results and outcomes.

David’s friendly, straight to the point approach is refreshing and will leave you wondering why you have not made the change sooner.

Take the opportunity to call David today on 1300 738 346 to have a no obligation discussion.

The thing that makes the difference is that David is an entrepreneur just like you having owned and operated his own successful businesses, so he understands the pressure of sales, costs and payroll just like you do. David has also worked in privately-held and ASX listed enterprises in senior finance positions so his commercial understanding of how business operates from a financial perspective underpins his recommendations and advice on all matters of business and tax.

220 Bay Terrace Wynnum, Qld david@bocaandco.com.au bocaandco.com.au

In essence this event involves race fleets departing Brisbane, with passage rally participants departing their home ports at any time during the ten days prior to the race start.

Last held in 2012, there was great delight when it was decided to add this popular event to the calendar again in 2015 and once more in 2018..

Junior & Youth SailingThe Royal Queensland Yacht Squadron has a proud tradition of developing young sailors and offering opportunities to juniors whatever the extent of their ambitions, be it as Olympic hopeful, club sailor or purely for fun, recreation and lifetime activity.

The Squadron has continued to support this long-term commitment to the future of the sport with a focus to increase participation of juniors and guide them along a Sailings Pathway to further develop their skills.

Sailing is the perfect recreational or competitive sport for all ages and there are few better experiences than spending some quality family time out on the water.

Several years ago the club introduced Tackers, a wonderful new training program and a great way for kids to get into the water and enjoy the safe, fun and adventurous world of sailing.

The Tackers program at RQYS has grown rapidly to become among the largest in the country. The Junior classes fleet is now enjoying strong fleets in the Optimist, Flying 11 and Laser 4.7 classes. Lifelong Squadron Member Mathew Belcher and Honorary Member Malcolm Page helped launch the scheme, bringing the gold medals they had so gloriously won at the London Olympics with them. Having such role models would inspire any child and every weekend it’s a pleasure to see a whole new crop of would-be Olympic sailors displaying their skills.

www.tjsmarine.com.au1300 133 155

Juniors progress through three stages of Tackers, gaining certificates along the way and acquiring new skills in the process, after which participants graduate into the Green Fleet, the developing ground for racing skills, as well as the comradeship of being involved in the Squad as Junior Members of the Squadron.

It doesn’t stop there, however. As you might expect from a club that has produced gold medallists at two separate Olympic Games, every encouragement is given to the high-fliers.

The Squadron’s RQYouthSquad enjoys training on a Saturday morning and racing on a Saturday afternoon as well as specific squad training through the week. The Squad has already developed several talented young sailors who may well be flying the Australian flag at future Olympic Games and in the meantime flying the burgee at the range of events across the country where Youth Sailors participate.

In addition to Tackers, RQYS offers Sail & Play, our most popular school holiday program, which runs from 9am to 3pm each day.

Sail & Play is aimed at 6 to 13-year-olds who think sailing, island adventure, windsurfing, stand-up paddle boarding, water games and navigation sounds like a load of fun. It is a great way to introduce the kids to the water, go sailing, make new friends and enjoy the great outdoors.

Not surprisingly, the program has proved very popular and it’s absolutely essential to book early to reserve your place. For details of upcoming dates, call the Sailing Academy Office on (07) 3396 8666 for more details or visit the Squadron website: www.rqys.com.au

Volunteering is a great way to keep yourself active and at the same time to enjoy the benefits of being a part of one of Queensland’s highly-regarded and friendliest sailing clubs.

Volunteering is also an opportunity to:

- Have fun and make new friends,

- Explore career alternatives,

- Develop your skills

- Achieve personal satisfaction in both sailing and community engagement.

Our volunteers range from the dedicated who volunteer on a regular basis, to those who only volunteer once or twice a year, usually over the Christmas / New Year period. There are no minimum time or experience requirements to volunteer. We are committed to helping you contribute to excellence in Race Management and facilitate year round involvement in all aspects of the Squadron. RQYS Volunteers can be involved with both on-shore and on-water roles as a part of the sailing activities, so there is something for everyone.

Power BoatingThe Royal Queensland Yacht Squadron’s Power Boat section caters for a range of recreational and competitive interests associated with power boating.

If you are looking for a challenge the RQYS Cruising & Navigation Committee conduct a number of competitive navigation events each year, providing a true test of your navigation skills:

• The Goodwill Cup (established 1962)

• The Myora Cup (established 1949)

• The Past Commodores’ Cup

• The Heavies Race

The first three events attract points towards the Squadron Champion award and other perpetual trophies. These events are also major social occasions, with the Goodwill and Myora spread over a weekend,

culminating with breakfast and presentations on the Sunday morning at RQYS Canaipa, our down-the-bay facility. The other events are held in close proximity to the Squadron allowing for a return to the clubhouse for lunch and prize giving.

There are now two classes of competition, one using modern-day GPS and the other traditional navigation methods of dead reckoning.

Navigation events involve travelling over a set course at a nominated speed over the bottom and hence tidal and weather conditions have to be reckoned with to maintain this speed and to reach the finish at the correct time. It isn’t about how fast you get there, instead how close you are to your predicted time.

THE SUPER FENDER FIT FOR YOUR JETTY

In 1986, Goodline Fender designed the original and superior quality Super Fender. Permanently fixed to pontoons and jetties, the Super Fender means no more fenders required when berthing or mooring.

The ingenious product reduces boat maintenance, as scuffing and scratching while at dock are a thing of the past.

Available with an optional extra chaffing cover made of marine-grade soft carpet that won’t scratch your boat and reduce accidental damage, wear and tear caused by UV, and generally prolong

the life of the fender. Super Fender reduces stress on the boat and pontoon with the load spread over a greater area. Constructed of UV-treated super tough vinyl, the fender material is a cylinder of the finest high-density energy absorbing material. Uniquely designed, all structural seams are high-frequency welded for durability and appearance.

Each Super Fender is custom-made to fit each installation. It is fixed well clear of the water, and therefore remains attractive and ensures long-life expectancy.

Super Fenders are designed and manufactured in Queensland and have installed over 5000 in the marketplace. The product is covered by a full 2 year warranty and available in a choice of colours to suit your pontoon jetty.

ph: 07 3245 2755 clint@goodlinetrim.com.au www.goodlinetrim.com.au

Super Fender is manufactured by the owners of Goodline Trim, Australia’s luxury marine designers, trimmers and upholsterers. Established in 1976.

Cruising GroupsThe Squadron has two very active and popular Cruising sections available to members who prefer the relaxation and camaraderie of social boating over the action and exhilaration of racing.

Both groups have a calendar and regular trips away together, with cruises generally held monthly. These weekends are a great way to meet new people, have some fun and enjoy the company of other members.

Wherever the vessels ultimately drop their anchors, one thing is guaranteed: a good time will be had by all. Members like nothing more than to spend time in each other’s company, sharing conversation, fine wine and good food.

Presentations on boating-related subjects, trips to the Squadron’s island retreat RQYS Canaipa, a night

out watching Riverfire, the spectacular finale to the Brisbane Festival, a traditional Christmas Party, Christmas in July, an extended Easter cruise: all have been enjoyed by the Cruising Groups in recent times.

Learn more about our Cruising groups on the RQYS website, or follow both groups on their Facebook pages: RQYS Sail Cruising Group and RQYS Powerboat Cruising Group

RQYS Canaipa is the jewel in the RQYS crown. It is the Squadron’s ‘down-the-bay’ property on the north east tip of Russell Island. This exclusive haven is part of the club’s sporting facilities and is available for use by all Full members.
