Commodore’s report
2
The sailing season has started with a flourish, first we had “Bart’s Bash” which was well supported,
and then we had the Jonsson Cup which attracted sixty odd boats. Thanks must go to the dingy
committee and especially Lucy for doing a great job of promoting this event, it just goes to show
that a squeaking wheel gets the most oil !
The vibe at your club is improving all the time, but we need more of you to come and participate.
The first Friday of each month is MEMBERS night; free snacks are available, so come for a drink
between 1700hr and 1900hr, even if you are on your way out for the evening.
The VOLVO race is hotting up, the one design concept has proved a winner, as the top boats are
within sight of each other, this type of racing has become very taxing to the crews, as sleep is
limited. Go on the web site to follow the action.
Hope to see you down at the club soon.
Sailor of the Month
Jon Marshall
Jon needs no introduction as he is our very own Rear Commodore Keelers.
Jon recently came down and showed the dinghy sailors a thing or two by
winning the Jonsson Cup. Here he is seen in action on the water.
Junior Sailor of the Month
Euan Hurter
Euan recently won the Eastern Cape Championships in the Dabchick class.
Here he is seen with his trophy. Well done Euan!
Euan is writing his matric at the moment, so we wish him well.
Report from Euan Hurter
As this is my final year in the Dabchick class, I decided to use the Eastern
Cape Championships and Mossel Bay SAS Grandslam as my last event
before the Dabchick Nationals (to be held on the Vaal Dam, in December).
Another reason for attending this provincials was that it was the only
provincials that I had not competed in. This did mean that Sean, my brother, had to come along
too as he is also sailing Dabchicks, however we were still the only KZN sailors at the event.
The event also played host to the Fireball and Mosquito nationals and attracted roughly 140
dinghies and catamarans, most of which were double-handed.
Just so much more!

The Dabchick fleet has had a little growth spurt recently and this Eastern Cape champs saw its
best turnout in the last couple of years, with 13 Dabchicks (with one of them being sailed doublehanded).
Day 1 saw a 10-12 knot Easterly with conditions pretty similar to Durban. This consisted of nice
waves to get surfing on, which is really good fun on a dabbie. This suited me very well and showed
on the results as I managed to win all 4 races that were sailed.Sean, who in reality hasn’t spent
that much time on a dabbie, found himself roughly in middle of the fleet, and a score line of: 7; 6;
6; 7. This meant that he was placed 7th overall at the end of day 1.
Day 2 saw much lighter but still very lumpy conditions. I was not quite as successful as day 1, with
minor slip ups tactically and blunders while sailing through the Laser fleet, but managed to score 2
2nds and win the 3rd and last race; at least I ended the day on a good note and still in retention of
1st place overall. Sean’s day was also a bit less successful, scoring 8; 8; 6. It was still consistent
enough to keep him in 7th place overall though.
The final day saw a lack of wind, and perfect beach weather, which resulted in racing being
abandoned. This meant Sean retained 7th overall and I had won the regatta. The Eastern Cape
champs have put us on a good foot and shows what needs to be done before Nationals in
December.
The Dabchick Class:
On another note, the Dabchick fleet has put itself in a very good position going forward: it arguably
has the best ratio of girls to boys sailing in South Africa (this event saw the Dabbie class have 7
girl and 7 boy sailors); the fleet size is increasing (the EC champ’s fleet growth over the years
bears testament to this); the majority of the sailors are still young (besides myself, the oldest
Dabbie sailor at Mossel Bay was 16); and finally and most importantly, the quality of the Dabchick
fleet is fantastic! The fleet incorporates really good quality racing at the top end all the way down to
the newbies having a blast at the back, however there is always a tussle between boats
throughout the fleet, making the sailing and racing good fun and worth the effort.The attitude of the
sailors within the fleet and the vibe that the whole Dabchick class gives off also makes it very
attractive (this is not solely my opinion) and I can only hope for further growth for such a fun youth
dinghy.
A note from the Editor
The editors of TTP have consistently refrained from putting their views forth in this paper. The
newsletter is for the members of Point Yacht Club and hopefully (although not as much as the
editors would like) by the members. We are constantly amazed by the wealth of talent in the club,
when we are fed information on members and young and old achieving locally, nationally and
internationally - we are proud to be part of it.
Clubs though are made up of people, most them not in that league. They pay their subs and come
down to participate and socialise. To make it all work it takes members who are committed to
helping out even if it is only with one function per year. Being social sailors of the “bob-a-long”

league we would like to share with you an article we found on scuttlebutt which we think would
encourage more fun sailing bring more people down and hopefully grow the sport.
Recreational sailing needs to relax and have more fun
(pub Scuttlebutt March 2014) by Editor
Ken Read, president of North Sails, is on a mission to encourage recreational racing to take a chill
pill.
The message is simple: the harder we play, and the more we invest in our recreation, the fewer
people will want to take part in the game.
Event organizers, fleet captains, and local cheerleaders exert significant energy to insure sufficient
participation, when maybe all that is needed is to manage a few of the variables.
Ken gave a presentation at a recent J Boats dealer meeting, from which Don Finkle of RCR
Yachts took notes. Here were some of Ken’s takes:
- Rally and pursuit races are fun and gaining in popularity.
– Get rid of the AP flag; people want to sail, not float around waiting for perfect conditions.
– Stop worrying that the starting line is off by 5 degrees; start the race.
– Get rid of uncomfortable gut hiking off the lower lifelines.
– All spinnakers should be colored; no more white!
– Start some races downwind.
– More variety of courses; not only W-L.
– Involve youngsters more in big boat sailing; not all want to do dinghies.
– Public access to the water and sailing will become even more important.
– Pros should be helping the amateurs by being available at regattas to give help and guidance.
Don grabbed Ken afterward and asked him what other course configurations he might suggest as
alternatives to W-Ls, and Ken recommended courses that had some reaching legs, especially for
boats that can plane when conditions allow; the Harry Anderson course, etc. Just some variety.
Hence the enormous success of the Jonsson Cup! (more on that to follow)
Lucy Says
Last month I introduced myself and gave a bit of an insight to who I am,
so this month I’d like to give an insight to all our new members, and
existing members who’d like to know – or would like to become more
active in the club – some insight as to how to find your way around the

club and finding information on how to make better use of your membership. So to that end, I’m
taking a bit more of a formal approach to the column and highlighting a few of the options as to
where, when and what is available and hopefully the how or means to find out more if you’d like to
know … so here goes ….
Firstly , if you haven’t seen the website recently, you will notice it is constantly being updated with
notices of events, race documents, event results and a live sailing calendar, of not only the club
events, but all KZN yacht events and other sailing events (traditionally of interest to members)
around the county. You can subscribe to the RSS feed on the calendar page and sync it to the
device or calendar of your choice. And, if you do this with updates, you will also then link up to
receive any changes made when they made
We have also added in an online entry system via www.windsail.co.za to make entering events
easy. You will receive confirmation emails when you do your entry that will include links to any
race documentation applicable for the event for you to download and review as needed, at a time
that best suits you
If you new to sailing, or would like to get into sailing …. we have a crew Log on the website (under
the membership tab) where you can enter your details, your sailing interest and get onto a list
where we can contact you and connect you with the right people and get you on to a boat or
sailing category of choice (i.e. keelers – offshore or Wednesday nights, dinghies and Cat sailing)
Not only is the option to get onto boats and experience sailing first hand but there is also courses
available through the club and SailAfrica that will teach you how to sail, and give you the
knowledge you need to launch your sailing lifestyle. Not to mention the dedicated and willing club
members that are willing and eager to impart knowledge and time share their love and passion of
the sport with you
Besides the option of sailing, if you would like to get involved but don’t see yourself getting onto a
yacht. You can always get involved with the race management side of things, assisting with race
management duties on and off the water. The Race boats are also looking for extra hands to
come along on the clubs boats to assist with mark laying, driving or on the bridge boat to help
record racing and do the race starts and finishes
Besides sailing, the club also has members active in windsurfing, paddling and SUPs from both
the beach site or in the bay giving it a well-rounded multi water sport appeal and options for you to
make use of
Sailing has many aspects to it, the cruising, the learning, the racing and the sporting side too.
With the club being affiliated to South African Sailing, members participating in qualify events can
earn points within a sailing season to get SAS provincial or national colours. (document posted on
the website)
A growing number of schools are starting to see this sport as an extra mural sport to. So if your
school doesn’t have an existing sailing program in place, why not get one set up with them.
Just so much more!

…. so don’t be shy , if you’d like to know more please feel free to contact Lucy for any sailing
matters on sailing@pyc.co.za or Amanda on members@pyc.co.za we are only too happy to help
answer any queries or questions and help you feel at home in the club and out on the water
Keelers
Wednesday Nights and Ratings
I have been told that the Royal Natal Yacht Club will only be using DRS (fixed scratch) ratings for
this season. We did have an agreement to use DPRS (adjusted subject to performance) for the
cruising non spinnaker fleet and DRS for the spinnaker fleets.
The problem that we have is that fixed scratch ratings only work where boats with a similar
performance are sailing against each other. The cruising non spinnaker fleet is made up of a great
mixture of boats that range from below 30’ to over 40’. No fixed rating system in existence will
provide a fair race for such a mix hence in previous years it was generally the larger boats that
consistently won. In order to address this and because most of this fleet are there for fun, Ron Pet
has put in place a scoring sheet that administers DPRS seamlessly. This is starting to show results
with some smaller boats starting to string together some impressive Wednesday results.
PYC will therefore continue to use DPRS for the cruising non spinnaker fleet on a Wednesday
night and for fun overall fleet results for other races. DRS will be used within divisions for all other
racing.
Port Captain’s Sprints
The Port Captain’s Sprints were sailed in the Bay over three consecutive Saturdays (4 th, 11th and
18thOctober)with the dingy fleet . This was a bit of an experiment as traditionally we have sailed off
shore and on Sundays. I am pleased to say that it seems to have worked as if we had been off
shore every race would have been blown out. As it was racing on the 11 th was blown out with
strong winds. We did manage to have some exciting racing over the other two Saturdays with
boats match racing up and down the Maydon Channel providing plenty of action and exercise for
crews.
Because our divisions are small and to keep some interest throughout the fleet we are scoring
divisions on DRS and the overall race on DPRS. The results were;
Division A: Skitzo
Division OD: 1st Tequila Sunrise; 2nd PYC Challenger
Division B: 1st Majimoto; 2nd Bellissima
Division C: 1st Sundance; 2nd Ritha
Division E: My Way
Division A MM: Bandit
DPRS Results - Port Captain Sprints
Day 1: 1st Skitzo; 2nd Majimoto; 3rd Tequila Sunrise; 4th Bellissima; 5th Sundance; 6th Ritha
Day 2: 1st Tequila Sunrise; 2nd PYC Challenger; 3rd Sundance; 4th Majimoto; 5th Bellissima

We are sailing the Sigma Series off shore on two consecutive Sundays (2 and 9 November).
Hopefully the winds will be kind. Racing will start at 12:30. This is to enable people to do other
things on a Sunday morning. Enter and download the race instructions on Windsail,
www.windsail.co.za, or give Lucy a call.
SangomaCrooze (Durban to Richards Bay)
The SangomaCrooze will take place starting the 27th December. This is one for those who need
some exercise after Christmas celebrations. It is intended to run the crooze as a pursuit event with
boats being allocated start times in Durban and hopefully all arriving in Richards Bay around the
same time. The Zululand Yacht Club will be our host and I am sure that they will do everything to
make our stay enjoyable.
As an aside, ZYC did some research into this event and confirmed that the title is definitely

Dinghy Sailing
What a great day Saturday was for dinghy racing in Durban! I cannot recall such festivity and
activity in the PYC boat-park, so thanks to everyone who participated and made it the success that
it was, but in particular the following for the special parts that they played:
Dave and Alvina Harrington, and Sifiso, who ensured that we had all the necessary cold liquid
refreshment available in the boat-park, and bar snacks in Charlies Bar;
Edd de Lange for the music and PA system, as well as the jumping castle for the little ones;
Trade Winds for the meals provided under the thatch;
Rick Parker and his team for running the racing, and Moses for manning the safety boat as
always;
Mike Surgeson and Andrew Butler for the handicapping;
Lucy de Freitas for making sure that everything came together neatly.
Just so much more!

It was clear from early on that conditions would be challenging, with a lightish wind swinging
between the North-East and South-East, but the call was made to run the South-Easterly pursuit
race course, and it was the correct call. Boats took off from 2pm in the vicinity of E2. We had an
awesome fleet of 51 starters, with a variety of dinghies, plus two keelers. We also had a few
Hobies joining us from the beach-site, while a very welcome addition were a few cats from Island
sailing Club – thanks for making the effort guys!
Thanks too to the handicappers who I know nearly went beserk. The addition of two small keel
boats, My Way and Container World upset their arithmetic. It worked beautifully guys and gave
more people the ability to participate. Let’s keep this vibe going into the New Season, it will only
auger well for the sport. What was great was that there were several newcomers out on the water,
most of them did not finish but one, young Alex driving a gypsey with his Dad crewing, won the
junior event. Hope now to see more of these youngsters out on the water.

Message of Thanks from Dinghy Rear Commodore – Campbell Alexander
The Jonsson Cup was a great day and enjoyed by all especially Vernon Goss who watched the
finish from Belissma with boats as far as the eye could see tacking up from the far end of the Bay.
A big thank you to each sailor who was out on the water. It is the participation that made it such a
good day. It was great to see sailors from the beachsite, ISC , HMYC and also from RNYC. Rick
Parker, Mike Surgeson and the team on the bridge boat did a great job in the light to medium
conditions ducking busy shipping lanes and finishing on the two hour limit.
Just so much more!
