Code of Conduct

The committee has formulated a 'Code of Conduct' relating to Club Racing. This is to help us promote the fun, friendly family atmosphere of the club as well as encourage Youth participation and promote fairness and sportsmanship in our on water activities. Issues which may arise on the water will be settled after racing by the committee.

Another new initiative will be Rules sessions to help educate all sailors in the knowledge and observance of the rules which will improve the sailing and enjoyment for us all.

Local Pittwater sailor Paul Darmanin named in OAMPS Insurance Brokers Australian Youth Sailing Team

Local Pittwater and Manly sailor Paul Darmanin was named in the OAMPS Insurance Brokers Australian Youth Sailing Team to contest the Volvo ISAF Youth Sailing World Championship in Turkey in July.

Paul sailing with Chase Lurati of Victoria held out to win the Hobie 16 class in a light wind series. The Hobie 16 class went right down to the wire with Paul and Chase finishing just one point ahead of Andrew Gough and Grant Jackson of Queensland. The two crews won all nine races between them and were the standout boats of the fleet. Paul has been undertaking a comprehensive training program, sailing out of Pittwater in both the Royal Prince Alfred’s new Hobie Wave program and the Palm Beach Sailing Club to gain experience in the Hobie 16 Catamaran. Paul also sails in Flying 11’s out of Manly and flew straight to Tasmania for their Nationals. Paul’s sister Lisa and cousin Jason Waterhouse are the current ISAF Youth Champions and so he will have the best support possible in preparation for the next Youth Championships in Turkey.

The Hobiecat Nationals were held in Mandurah, WA

over the Xmas/New Year break.
