2010 Volvo Youth Sailing Worlds - Australians win GOLD again in 2010

Chase Lurati and Paul Darmanin lead the multihull class at the ISAF 2010 World Championships in Turkey and have won the GOLD. With one day's racing left the only way they could have been beaten was if they had a DSQ. What an amazing result especially when you take into account that the boat this year is a Serene 16 - a boat the boys had 2 days practice on in Europe prior to the championships. The following is an excerpt from SAIL WORLD . COM

"2010 Volvo Youth Sailing World Championship, Australian youth sailors move into medal contention in Turkey - As the 2010 Volvo Youth Sailing ISAF World Championship heads into the final day of racing, two OAMPS Insurance Brokers Australian Youth Sailing Team crews have had great a great day on the water and have moved into medal positions."

Training Saturday 24 July 11am Sand Point

We will be holding another training day on the 24th of July at 11am at Sand Point. If your regular crew is playing a winter sport, team up with someone else!

Any crews wanting to sail that have an absent skipper, contact Upu on Commodore@pbsc.org.au

Rod is trying organise Traks Gordon to coach for this event, in which case there will be a $20 per boat fee.

WOORAK RESERVE Update ....

Upu and Anthony attended the Council meeting on the 19th April where the Council voted to adopt the plan of management for Woorak Reserve. Those that spoke on the plan where all supportive of catamaran sailing from the beach.

The key elements of the plan are best described in the plan itself, which is on the Council's website. It's worth a look just to see the wonderful old photos of Sand Point and the Palm Beach area.

The Council has consistently indicated its support for the club - the redevelopment is not about getting rid of catamaran sailing. If it's directed at any one sector it would be the larger boats on big trailers and the commercial operations - including the building and construction barges that are now using the ramp. Some of these craft will be banned and the permit system will drive away some others (that's the theory anyway).

A section of the reserve in the NE corner will be set aside for the club's use, with Council residents being able to buy an annual pass. Special permits will be available for our club upon application to the Council, but we are unsure what they will cost at this stage. We have also been advised that we will still be able to apply for additional spaces/parking if we hold a weekend regatta, but that space will be limited and once the reserve is full - we have to go to plan B. Cross that bridge when we come to it.

We will keep in close contact with the Council about the permit costs etc and about when they plan to start the work. If it looks like being very disruptive i.e. the ramp being out of action etc., we may be able to launch down near the club as a temporary measure.
