Whitrod Classic

 Congratulations to Scott for consistent sailing and winning the 2015 Whitrod Classic re-sail.  Both Scott and Paul were clearly the best two sailors on the day with Ben in third place thanks to some issues with Brett's yacht.  15 Yachts entered the event in challenging northerly winds.  Thanks to a group of PRO's, Gregg, Phillip and Adrian for running the event.

KM IOM Challenge

 The K McPherson Memorial IOM event was contested on Sunday 15th November 2015 with fourteen eager starters at the first gun after a delay waiting for the wind to settle.  Greg Peake ably supported by Phillip Levi, Rob Cameron and Jack Amber were kept busy laying true courses and retrieving boats with gear failure.  The breeze strengthened after lunch and No2 rigs replaced the full size rigs that were used before lunch.
The venue at Harts Mill again proved popular and it provided local knowledge which may come in handy for the Nationals in February 2016.
Congratulations to Scott Mitchell, Paul Littledyke and Dallas Duessen.  Ben Morris was heard to say “I don’t know how but I had great boat speed in the morning” and was awarded the Most Improved skipper.  Images below of the clear winners on the day.   More images at

 RM State Championship
The South Australian Marblehead Championship for 2105 was sailed over two days 10th and 11th October.
Twelve entries were received  with three making the trip from Melbourne. Thanks guys your participation is appreciated.
Saturday the 10th presented light winds (5 to 8 k) which kept the PRO Greg Peek and his helpers busy laying true windward courses.  Fourteen races were held with the leaders keen for the next day’s challenge and the concurrent contest for the Bournville Trophy.  An extra competitor (Queenslander currently residing in Adelaide) increased the fleet to thirteen.
Sunday the 11th produced cooler conditions with a more consistent and heavier winds (10 to 12k).
Lincoln McDowell cleaned up with a first in each event, well done, but was pressed by Andrew Reid and Scott Mitchell.  See results for detail.
The Hart’s Mill venue (as selected for the 2016 National Championships) again proved to be good for  launching and the elevated  control position excellent from a skippers point of view.  Thanks also to Phillip and his innovative control centre which added to the professional running of the event.

The winners Lincoln, Andrew and Scott - well done!  They have set a high standard to aim for .

Bournville Cup

Toad Cup

 

Conditions were trying with a hot northerly blowing early, eventually swinging to a westerly at lunch break time.  Winds were about 8 knots. The competitors waited for 2 hours for a wind change until a course could be set in the freshening breeze.  Paul was clearly the most consistent of the day. Congratulations to all place getters and to the fleet for competing in this inaugural event.

RM Interclub Challenge 1 - Stirling

Congratulations to SARYC for taking out the first of the transom Trophy races for 2015.  Be prepared for a serious challenge at Tiranna Way later in the year.
Conditions were varied with a reasonable light breeze early but fading by lunch and later.  Stirling were just in front at lunch  time but with Brian getting two wins to finish the day and Alan with two seconds, the  outcome was clear..
All sailors appeared to have an enjoyable day despite the lack of wind.  Alan did well and was consistent all day and was the individual winner on a count back from Mark with Brian pushing a close third.
A big thanks to Terry and Bob for scoring and handling the computer system with confidence.

A Class State Titles

The event was held at Paris Creek “Schofields Dam” an a bright sunny day with light winds all day.  All races, with the exception of two, were raced in continuously light and variable wind conditions.  The other two races had brief patches where the wind disappeared for a few minutes. The Championship was taken out by Tim Arland who sailed his Venom well all day.  Second was David Martin  and Alan Gold third both sailing Venoms. The event will encourage participation in the Australian Championships series that will be sailed at West Lakes in February next year. Thank you to the South Eastern Hills Model Yacht Club for conducting the racing and providing a great sausage sizzle lunch.

10R State Title

The SA 10R State Title was sailed with light winds to start however these picked up after lunch.
While small in numbers the competition was very keen with Ben Morris winning from Tim Arland after a back and forth battle all day.

Mention must be made of Alan Gold who sailed a yacht that he put in the water on this day and finished only 4 points behind Tim. Last but not disgraced was Arthur Thacker who travelled for 3 hours, sailed a borrowed boat was lacking sailing practice , had a DNF and a DNS and was in touch with the fleet all day.
Thanks to Brian Walsh for his effort on being PRO for the day and for Cyril O'Neill and Kevin Bowden for their assistance.
