Wangara Volkswagen Geraldton Ocean Classic Race Program, March 2014

WANGARA VOLKSWAGEN GERALDTON OCEAN CLASSIC 2014

South of Perth Yacht Club Commodore’s Welcome The South of Perth Yacht Club would like to welcome all the contestants in the 2014 Freemantle to Geraldton blue water ocean classic. This event has been run in conjuction with the Geraldton Yacht Club for the last 44 seasons and this is now the 45th event. We deffinatley thank all of those people who have participated in, voluntered for and have sponsored the event in the past. Different things have been tried in the past to boost numbers when they have dropped off due to clashing with other events or weather conditions being to severe, such as moving the event to March/April rather than its traditional October spot, It’s great to see 13 entrants in the race this year Without the help of the sponsors it would be very difficult to run this event. This year we welcome onboard Wangara Volkswagon as the major naming sponsor and welcome back Hanson Construction Materials who assist with the yellow trackers so we can all keep an eye on the progress of the participants. This race takes an awful lot of work to organise and run, to all those involved from the South of Perth yacht Club the Geraldton Yacht Club and others we thank you very much. A special thanks must go to Barrett Communications and Dave Ewart who have relocated our radios to the centreboard clubhouse, put in a back up system so the whole event can be contolled from the club without the need to have a tender one at Rottnest. Have a safe and successful race up a safe trip home and I will see you all at presentations.

Paul Ward Commodore

Geraldton Yacht Club Commodore’s Welcome In welcoming you to Geraldton for this year’s Fremantle to Geraldton Ocean Racing Classic I am mindful of the many yachtsmen who have competed and the friendships we have formed, unfortunately very few are still actively racing and quite a few are deceased. However it always brings back happy memories of some of the shenanigans that went on. These days with the pressures of the racing calendar very few remain for the week between the races. Be that as it may we here at Geraldton welcome you and will do our best to entertain you. May you experience fair winds and following seas.

Tragically Frank passed away after last season in June. His family decided to sell Alfresco and the boat was bought jointly by John Rayner and Dominic Papaluca. Dominic is one of nature’s finest gentlemen and former owner of Wild Bull, which won last year’s Valmadre series in Division 2. Alfresco could not be in better hands with John and Dominic which would no doubt have pleased Frank.

The hull is stronger and lighter than conventional fibreglass yachts, but because of the age of the design, it still benefits from a generous age allowance. This will be Simon and Blondie’s inaugural Geraldton Ocean race, although crewman Mike Finn, previous owner of Huckleberry has competed successfully in numerous Geraldton races as has veteran Mike Foster

Dominic and his crew in their first ocean race which was Hillary’s Pot of Gold, won both YAH and IRC in Division 1. They came 2nd on the race home, the Shepherdess Cup, again both on YAH & IRC. This will be Dominic’s first Geraldton race, although many of his crew have made the trip north before.

Peter Vlaar and his crew won the coveted Siska Trophy in the 2002 – 2003 season, so the yacht is definitely a great ocean going one with great potential.

Mike missed out on last year’s Geraldton by less than a week but he then campaigned her for the last half of the season and managed to get 3rd on IRC in the YWA State Championships in the 2012-2013 season.

After a family trip to the Kimberley’s, Peter once again decided to tackle offshore and gained 2nd YAH & IRC in the Pot of Gold this year and on the return won both YAH & IRC.

This Sydney 47’ design yacht has been sailing well this season and achieved line honours, and first on both YAH & IRC in the recent Bunbury and Return Ocean Race, minus owner Mike who was in Europe on business. The crew told him that the boat sailed well without him onboard!

Peter is taking the owners of both Sagacious and Ocean Racing Captain Chris Higham who owns Numbers Game. No shortage of helmsmen, particularly with legend Jason Furnell on board.

This will be Endorfin’s inaugural Geraldton and his stalwart crew are out to prove the yachts potential

Crew:

Ocean Racing stalwart, Rear Commodore of Sail at Fremantle Sailing Club, Rob Thomas will be competing in his fourth Geraldton race. Even though Finistere is the oldest yacht in Division 1, she still won the Batavia Cup Series in 2007, 2008, 2009. In 2008 Rob and his crew won YAH overall for the race to and back from Geraldton.

Owners Lyn Powell and Ian Whitehead finished last season gaining a 2nd place in Division 3 for the overall consistency.

Robert Thomas, Kim Strickland, Amadeus Rainbow, Paul Owens, Colin Balantine, Jonathon Donaldson, Clayton Davys, Toby Byrne

Rob modified the yacht after he first bought it and is definitely now a beautiful cruising boat. However if we were to have a “typical” Geraldton return, the yacht would still excel as she revels in tough conditions on the nose. Rob had success in one of his many yachts “Maggie’s Farm” way back in 1982 when he and his crew won the race from Geraldton to Fremantle both on YAH and IOR.

Lyn Powell, Ian Whitehead, Steve Davies Emma Higham, Marie Connolly, Abi Paterson, Kyle Brealey

Fourth Dimension and their crew had a great race up to Geraldton last year and gained 2nd YAH for their efforts and a 3rd YAH on the return leg from Geraldton to Fremantle, which also made them 2nd overall on YAH for both races on YAH. This will be Fourth Dimension’s 3rd Geraldton Classic and will be vying for a position on handicap. They are yet to win a race, this season but have been up at the podium for the Dolphin, Gordon Craig, Pot of Gold, Coventry Reef and Shepherdess Ocean races, which is an indication of their determination to achieve.

When Laurie owned her she was called Aardvark and he had a few successes with her, but since Craig has had this boat which he renamed Hoodoo Man, he has campaigned it very successfully. They won Division 2, IRC in F.S.C. Valmadre Cup series and came 3rd in last year’s YAH consistency series in Division 2. They also achieved a 2nd place in the Farrawa Cup series. This season Craig and his crew have achieved quite a lot of successes including winning IRC in the Coventry Reef, the Dolphin and the Gordon Craig races in Division 2.

Crew:

Terry Posma, Jeff Andrew, Glenn Shugg Matt Powell, Ron Carterton, Andrew Knowles Ian Davis, Sergio Vaquez, Nicholas Davis Owner Terry Posma is determined to improve on last year’s Geraldton Race results. On the return race they gained a 3rd on YAH and 2nd on IRC. However for the race up and back they managed only a fourth, so this year they are all hyped up to improve their positions. Last year they came 3rd YAH in the Blue Water Series and 1st on YAH in the same series. This year’s performance is an indication that they are up there with the rest of their rival’s winning YAH in the Cape Naturaliste and Iberia Ocean races. She also got 2nd IRC in the Naturaliste Ocean Race.

Craig has owned many yachts in the past, all of which he has had numerous successes. This will be his first Geraldton race in Hoodoo Man, but he has the very experienced navigator Chris Disley who is co-owner of last year’s Siska Trophy winner, General Lee. He also has recruited some of General Lee’s crew, together with his core crew will make a formidable combination. Wangara Volkswagen Geraldton Ocean Classic Race Program March, 2014 11

At least this year she will be competing against R2D2 and not on her own as she was last race. Owner Todd Giraudo and crewman Dubbo White won the Evolution Sails Blue Water Series last season on YAH and IRC, a great achievement. So far this season they have won every ocean race in the double handed division they have competed in, in both YAH and IRC. The races include the George Law, The Cape Naturaliste and return, the Coventry Reef, Pot of Gold, Bunbury and return and most recently the Iberia Race to Geographe Bay. This is an absolutely astonishing feat. They will be once again be a threat to the fully crewed yachts on handicaps.

Peter informed us all at the YWA Offshore Presentation dinner that he would be buying a new yacht for this season which we would not miss. Not a truer word spoken, ME II stands out like no other yacht on this coast. What a colour scheme!! Peter and his crew have had numerous successes in his Ker 39, winning both YAH and IRC in the George Law, came 1st IRC in the Naturaliste Race with a 2nd on YAH. He also won the Iberia race to Geographe Bay on IRC and came 3rd on YAH. This will be Peter’s inaugural race to Geraldton and he has some very experienced crew, including Sydney to Hobart veteran, Mike Hughes.

Crew: Ian Stewart, Doug Stewart Ian competed about 3 years ago in R2D2 in the fully crewed division and were leading on the return race but they had to pull into Dongara to drop off his son who had a broken collar bone. Ian’s first encounter with the Geraldton race was in 1997, when he sailed his then yacht, Wild One to Geraldton. They lost their rudder after rounding West End and were rescued by Tender 1 at Rottnest in very heavy seas. The father and son combination are looking forward to their odyssey and are hoping to give Kraken a run for her money.

She has competed in two Bali Ocean races and a Darwin to Ambon Ocean race. Even though she was away most of last season following the Bali race she gained 3rd place on YAH in the consistency series in Division 1. So far this season she has come 3rd in IRC in the Carnac race and gained a 2nd place on YAH. They also achieved a 3rd place on YAH in the Bunbury and Return. Brian and his enthusiastic crew will be vying for line honours in this year’s Geraldton race.

So far they have had quite a successful season winning IRC in Division 2, in the Dolphin race and a 3rd on YAH. They won the Gordon Craig on both YAH and IRC in Division 2. Bryan and his crew competed in last year’s Sydney to Hobart Ocean race and were 55th over the line, in a field of 77, not bad for one of the smaller yachts and finished mid fleet on IRC. Bryan and his crew got so much more confidence from delivery to Sydney and return and including the Hobart race, that they now feel they can do the Geraldton Race.

RACE TRACKERS

In 2014, the yachts competing in the Geraldton Ocean Classic will be fitted with Yellow Brick Trackers. Yellow Brick trackers are a rugged and fully self-contained battery operated tracker which works anywhere on Earth. The tracker will wake up every so often (e.g. every 15 minutes), obtain a position using the GPS satellite network, and then transmit that position back to Yellowbrick HQ using the Iridium satellite network in seconds. The message is relayed to us from Iridium, after which we will be able to visualize the positions on an easy-to-use web-based viewer. On the race viewer, visitors to the site will be able to view a display of waypoints, markers and rhumb line, historic tracks as well as the current location of the yachts, replay, display of speed and course for each yacht, skipper name and yacht name for each vessel plus the weather information provided via PredictWind. The race viewer will be accessible for the duration of the races north and return on the Club’s website at www.sopyc.com.au. The viewer uses Adobe Flash and will require visitors to the site to have flash installed before it will work. Visitors to the site who do not have flash will be prompted to install it on first visit. The Yellow Brick Yacht trackers are provided courtesy of sponsorship by Hanson Construction Materials Pty Ltd.

Navigation – the changing landscape Feature Article by Bernie Kaaks

Seemingly just a few short years ago, yachts raced up and down the WA coast with a compass and a ship’s log. Remarkably perhaps, most managed to get to their destination as planned, though in the case of the Geraldton Race, there have been a few exceptions. A little boat during the 80’s had not turned up in Geraldton by Sunday morning, but just as the search parties were being organised, a report came in to advise that it had arrived at Horrocks – like many Dutchmen a couple of centuries earlier, they turned a bit too late! There have been hits and near misses, too, at Beagle Rock, where both Tony Stanton, and before him, Jon Sanders, came to grief. During this era, navigators actually had to work to deduce the position of their yachts. The maintenance of log books, running fixes, distance run, dead reckoning and hand bearing compasses were commonplace, and most of the more experienced navigators could use a sextant, though few of them would have done so in a Geraldton race! In today’s world of ocean racing, GPS may have dulled some of those skills, even if it has not killed them off altogether. How many navigators could confidently plot their yacht’s position and future course if the GPS failed in the middle of a dark and stormy night? The standard answer to that question is usually a glib “Oh, we always carry a spare GPS just in case.” That is a commendable course of action, but not very helpful if the whole system is shut down for any reason – but then many aircraft would be in trouble, too, so that’s pretty unlikely. The upside lies in the many things that are possible since GPS came into being. Most GPS receivers can instantly plot their location within a few metres, so providing you have an accurate chart on which to plot your location, you know precisely what dangers might lurk in your vicinity (apart from those that are moving, like other yachts, ships and whales!). Today, that technology has taken us even further. Many would remember the awful hours that followed after Jamie Weeden fell from Walk on the Wild Side while the boat was travelling downwind at more than 20 knots. Although the man overboard key was hit almost immediately and Jamie reported later that he never lost sight of the yacht, it took an agonisingly long time to find him again, exacerbated by the fact that darkness was imminent. With the advent of personal locator beacons, the location of a man overboard becomes routine, taking all the guesswork out of trying to find the victim, regardless of conditions. There is of course, still an issue with some crew still going on deck without their life saving personal locator beacons, but eventually it will become as commonplace as putting on your seatbelt when you drive your car. Moving objects, too, have become far easier to keep track of with the advent of AIS – another GPS based system that signals each vessel’s speed, direction and location. The technology is now compulsory on commercial ships at sea, thus enabling yachts equipped with AIS (and several of them are already!) to know not only exactly what ships are in the vicinity, but whether their course and speed are such that a collision might be possible. The chart plotters in use on most racing yachts can be interfaced with a great many aids to the modern day navigator. Charts can be updated automatically, they can be integrated with the latest weather information and can also be interfaced with yacht racing software. To make best use of all this technology requires a skill set that is remarkably different from that required twenty or thirty years ago. Different, yes, but less skilful? Ocean racing yachts today are stronger, lighter and faster than they used to be, requiring constant updating of position and strategy. Navigators on these yachts seem to be every bit as capable as experts from years gone by. They enjoy far greater accuracy, thanks to technology, and ultimately, that translates not only to improved navigation, but also in the safety of racing sailors around the world.
