1 SYC Regatta – Jan 2018 incorporating the Australian Yachting Championships

WELCOME

Welcome to the 2018 Australian Yachting Championship being hosted by

Sandringham Yacht Club (SYC). We are very proud and excited to be partnering

with Australian Sailing to deliver this year’s prestigious event.

SYC has a strong tradition and history of hosting high profile events, and for this

regatta we have assembled a world class race management team. We look forward

to providing competitors with a great sailing experience on terrific racing waters,

with typically reliable and steady winds at this time of the year.

Our modern and recently developed facilities make us the perfect regatta venue. The boatyard, marina, and on-

site services will cater for all your preparation and race requirements. Off the water, SYC has a big range of food

& beverage offerings including the Ken King “by the water” wet bar and canteen, members bar & lounge, and

the Harbour View restaurant. Daily “on board” food catering will also be available to those boats wishing to take

up this offer.

Our large external balcony is positioned directly on the water’s edge overlooking the racing area. Spectators and

competitors alike will enjoy the 180 degree views of Port Phillip, and to the north the city of Melbourne. On

Saturday evening we will celebrate in style with the live entertainment being provided by Wendy Stapleton and

band.

In a practical sense, SYC is well located in proximity to good local shops and accommodation, public transport,

and surrounding car parks to ensure convenience and ease of access to the venue.

We know you will find SYC to be a welcoming and friendly club! As our guests, all competitors will receive an

“honorary membership” for the duration of the event which will allow full access and enjoyment of the club.

Our staff will do their best to ensure a visit to our club is a great and memorable experience!

We look forward to seeing you at SYC for the Australian Yachting Championship.

Regards,

Rob Davis

Commodore

Sandringham Yacht Club


WELCOME

On behalf of Australian Sailing, welcome to all competitors, family and friends,

officials, sponsors and volunteers to the 2018 Australian Yachting Championship.

We are pleased to be returning to Victoria for the first time since 2013 and thank

Sandringham Yacht Club for their dedication and commitment to delivering a

wonderful schedule of racing. This location offers some of the best racing waters in

Australia and provides plenty of opportunities for family and friends to watch the

action.

Since its inception in 2000 as the Australian Offshore Keelboat Championship, this event has evolved into one of

Australia’s premier regattas attracting many of the finest names in sailing in Australia. The honour board for the

Australian Yachting Championship boasts a list of the most highly regarded skippers and crews and the

competition is always intense and this year will be no exception.

There are a number of familiar boats and crews at the Australian Yachting Championship with many new faces

making their debut, welcome to you all. We are also joined this year by a Multihull Division to add to the racing

mix contesting the Australian Multihull National Championship, best of luck to all of those competing for that

title.

Our thanks to Sandringham Yacht Club for hosting the Australian Yachting Championship, we appreciate the

efforts of all involved in the preparation and during the event and I’m sure I speak for all competitors, family and

friends in thanking everyone who has contributed to making it a great Championship.

Fair winds and good sailing.

Matt Allen

President

Australian Sailing

The Race Committee may use any of the courses for any of the races.


A windward laid mark may be specified as the first mark of the course after the start. This mark will be a blue

inflatable buoy and will be laid approximately to windward and at a distance of approximately 0.5 – 0.9 nm from

the starting line. The direction of rounding the windward mark will be indicated on the Race Committee boat –

Green for Starboard rounding, Red for Port rounding. If no signal is made, the mark is deleted from the course.

The following course descriptions list the order in which marks are to be passed and the side each mark is to be

rounded.

The course distances shown approximate, and wind directions indicative only and do not necessarily specify

direction of the start.
