Race Reports for May 26th

Gennaker Report (Duncan Dey)




4

A gorgeous way to end the season, with some Melbourne weather (shifty) and a change of course format: Gennakers did laps past the box office, like the other fleets. Yay, no lap counting. Two laps were sailed.

Two F15's and two RS100's had an incident free start down near Shaws Bay and sought the windward buoy near the Ramada with slight tidal assistance in a light westerly.

Vince in 5 Buckaroos on the way to the start

Barry & Ewan shot to the lead in F15 and would have won hands down but the breeze died as we tacked downwind, around the wing mark and back to Shaws Bay. They did their second crossing of the finish line almost an hour into the race.




5

Business as usual for most of the race for Trade Secret

Dan & Pip in F15 tussled with Duncan in RS100 for second place on the first lap of fading wind.

Not often one gets to see the crew of an F15 being so relaxed with a spinnaker up




6

Duncan in the fading light before the squall

Vince hung back in RS100 but not by far. On the run, he collected the rising westerly wind first and closed the gap on Duncan.

The second work included five minutes of rain with a squall to about 15 knots.

The fleet took off and sped away from Duncan.

Barry was still not out of sight however when the breeze failed again.

Thankfully someone restrained Ric from abandoning the race and Roland from pulling up the buoys. We got round the windward buoy and drifted east - the tide had eased. The breeze finally returned and that was it.

The F15's didn't create the gap they need so finishing order after yardstick was Duncan, Vince, Barry, Dan.

Catamaran Report (Jonathan Horsley)




10

A fleet of six cats faced the starter with the minor placings in both the Championship and Handicap to be decided by result of this race. At the start a light westerly breeze of 5 knots with gusts to 10

knots had the fleet jostling for position at the boat end. was first across the line after a quick run along the line.

Many different courses were sailed up the first leg with trying to ride waves (very small) into the beach and then hug the shore line. The four larger boats were very close passing through the gate the first time. As the breeze eased on the leg to the top buoy the favoured course was

The last leg back to finish started with plenty of wind

Monohull Report (Trent Morgan)

The start




25

Slow and Steady Wins the Race With predicted winds of WSW a clean start saw the usual suspects heading off towards a mark set in the Straits of Ramada, after commencing right in the river mouth. This was a long work,

especially in the light air. Graham Hams in , and Roy in setting the early pace.

Mark Pierce in – the D-One was making ground though and Dave Scott back in a laser

( the club boat) was in the mix too. Graham Hodgins in , followed this lot, with

and Des in bringing up the rear.

It was slow going but all eventually made it around the top mark before heading off for the offset mark at Mobbs Bay, then back down to the mark in the river mouth.

Wing It and Retro in the increasing gloom towards the bottom of the course

On this run in the lead opted to run against what was a nearly full incoming tide closer to

the south wall, whilst seemed to be trying to get out of any current and headed for the Northern shore – a different tactical decision.




26

Black Pearl, or an amazing feat by Dave

Most followed , went the other shore because that direction kept her jib full in the goose wing position. Apparently on this run Graham Hams witnessed a two-metre shark jump into the air, about two boat lengths from his boat.

Graham wasn’t happy about this




27

Not surprising considering the amount of bait fish that seemed to be in that stretch of river, terns diving everywhere (when they weren’t photobombing). Dolphins were off the clubhouse post race as well.

During the race a large cloud could be seen depositing rain to the SW and was making its way towards the river. When it started to arrive, the wind had a little more strength, a minute later the gusts were a bit stronger again. Suddenly the gusts had Trent and Daisy (on the work back to the club), fully hiked, main dumped, water swatting all over both as the bow hit the steep chop which had formed, rain in the face, and dodging very fast moving cats who were gybing their way down the course – a full on squall. It was great fun.

Puddleduck as captured by Jonathan’s GoPro during the squall – looking back up the river.




28

Alas, after a few zips across the river it started to ease really quickly and the scene then resembled something from the film – “The Truman Show”, when the strong weather which had been ‘turned on’ to cause mishap to Truman’s boat was turned off suddenly. The breeze DIED. Boats were left bouncing in the messy chop which had been whipped up and was still coming down the river, but there was no wind to propel anyone through it. Water was falling off the sails from the rain, tell tails stuck to sails. The sun was out again. A rainbow formed to the East. The river became like a scene from a painting, boats stationary, spinnakers hanging limply. Laughter could be heard from the club as taunts were thrown at Col Woodbry who had stopped just short of the finish line, unable to get across to secure a second place in the cat championship, as Jonathan and Martine had just crossed not long before.

The club weather station during the becalming – 0 knots

It seemed like there would be a race abandonment for the monos. Graham in must have had enough, or thought there would be no chance of the race continuing, as he pulled into the beach.




29

Heading for shore, the end of a successful season, time for a new coat or five of varnish for Alter Ego

Others followed his lead – Mark in , Dave in , and Des in Olde Golde.




30

However, with Ric driving past and announcing there would be a twenty-minute wait until any abandonment would be called, minute amounts of breeze started driving the stationary boats

again. was observed moving quite briskly along the Northern shore under spinnaker heading towards the club – the breeze had kicked in from the North East.

Trent and Daisy who had been thinking a tow in would be good (Norm in had just started his

engine), got some wind in the sails and sailed past the club, following and who were also thinking – ‘hang on, this isn’t over’. Roy and Graham Hodgins rounded the Straits of Ramada mark and headed with good speed back down the river.

unbelievably fell prey to the Ramada wind-shadow.

Slowing down in the straits

The mark had not been put there for a Northerly breeze. Eventually pressing through and rounding the mark, Trent and Daisy spied Graham Hodgins heading into the beach. They could not understand why.




31

Graham in Retro on his way to calling it a day

Roy looked to be putting everything into the race, he was moving with commitment on the way to the Mobbs mark.




32

Roy powering on determinedly in the northerly heading for the Mobbs mark

pursued from some distance back expecting at any second that the race would be called off. The rescue boat was heading for them – ‘this must be the message’, but no, the rescue

boat went and picked up the Ramada buoy. started sailing straight over to – an eerie reminder of an earlier race this year when they had offered to tow Trent and Daisy in when the race had been called off prematurely. Andrew said hi and sailed on, a sigh of relief from the

crew.




33

Three tacks were needed to make the river mouth buoy, crossing paths with the returning as Roy headed for home. The rescue boat cruised near but they were waiting to pick up the buoy,

the race wasn’t being called off. The final leg, the final race for Trent and Daisy in and

Daisy took over the steering, guiding the flying ‘ ’ past the sandy point and across the line for what turned out to be an extremely unlikely win on yardstick. Roy being the only other finisher took second. Classic Aesop in 2019 on a river in Ballina.

Daisy bringing the ‘Duck’ home for possibly the last time. Thank you Puddleduck!




34

Many thanks to the rescue boat crew and Rod and Jan in the kitchen and tower. Also thank you to the helpers with launching and putting away the rescue boat.

Home and hosed. Thank you from the newsletter editor to everyone for sailing and making a wonderful spectacle!

Trailer Sailor Report (Colin Hinwood)




36

Well what a day to finish the season with ..

Forecast NW to W to maybe SW at 10knots, had us all hoping that the wind would hold for our last day.

What did we get ,, sunny but rained ..W 5 knots to glass-off … to 20+ knot squall.. to WNW, to 10knots SW to finish with … whew!!

The Westerly Course is start at the wall, thru the gate, up to a Mark off Ramada, then to a wing mark at Mobbs, and down to the Wall. A great, true W/L course, with a shy run to the Wing Mark, bear away and a gybe to follow, - might see it again in the new season Westerlies?

The start

, , , [ away car racing], , and “ ” the fleet.

eX with Norm, his daughter, and Seamus




37

The Start was into a dying 5knot Westerly, with a good run-in tide going with us. All boats struggled to get flow over foils, so that horrible lack of feel while we tack tack, tack in 3 knots, and with amazing congestion with such a small fleet.

made the best of the mess, then , as the rest of us fell back struggling to make sense of the conditions.

The first work

It was first to the Top Mark, then , with claiming a minor victory .. beating

to a Top Mark !!

On the way back down, Spudgun giving Incy a good race




38

In maybe 4 knots downwind into the incoming tide, drew away from the fleet, as the wind

was true square, and even needing to put in a few gybes against the tide.

Drawing away from the fleet

The race lasted nearly 2 hours, with glass offs meaning finesse could create big gains.




39

A rare shot of that spectacular pink kite without air – in intense racing with Incy

was behind on the works, then ahead on the runs, but in the glass-off mess,

finessed thru it and was not to challenge again.

A snap shot not too long before the squall arrived




40

In the middle of these stressful light patches, came a 20+ knot squall – with rain – but we were all

on an upwind, and only just managed to round catch the last little bit, for a few minutes into its last downwind, just enough to push it ahead to finally finish a respectable 2nd on CT… could just as easily been last… just a matter of where you were on the Course when winds changed.

The very picturesque Bad Blood bringing it home in a very different breeze to that at the start – Puddleduck heading to the rivermouth

Another day where spinnaker boats had no chance against with its 2 sail rating, well

sailed and well finessed thru the difficult light patches,.. winning the day , …and comfortably winning the Club Championship year, with consistent top sailing performance..

Over a season, it should average out .. windy days and light days, but we sail all Autumn where winds are normally light. so this part of the season is skewed to favour a 2sail boat.

Next Season Championship racing will see the 2 new RL24s, and added to

the scoring from Day 1, with sailing faster and faster to be on the Podium at the

end for sure, Club Champion there to show us not to slacken off in the upwinds, , and

then the Spiders and [and of course] there to smash us downwind, with

Norm in “ ” to find out how the boat goes in the better winds, along with and

making a strong fleet.

Next Season .. bring it on.

42

Winter Racing

Keep an eye out for emails about winter races. This will be probably be dependent on wind forecasts and tide, roughly following the scheduled calendar dates, although Duncan said he was hoping for one on the 9th of June. There will be no rescue boat, courses will be set where all boats will remain in view of each other – perhaps runs up the river towards the ferry and back.

Get To Know A Club Member

Every newsletter will feature an interview with a different club member. The questions are designed with a focus on sailing experiences. The plan is to continue with interviews next season. Some are already done. This week we interview a sailor with an incredible wealth of experience and achievement – Gunter Heuchmer.

Name: Gunter Heuchmer




43

Name and type of boat/s sailed at the club:

Most recently has crewed on with Col Hinwood.

Number of Seasons at RRSRC:

Since 1986 – makes it thirty three years, also part of Ballina CYC.

Roles in the Club (now and previously):

Often helping in the tower

Where did you learn to sail? In what class/classes of boat?

In Blankense, Germany as a for’hand on a Flying Dutchman when they came out in the late 1950’s.

Have you been a member of other sailing clubs, if so, which?

The CYCA (Cruising Yacht Club of Australia), still a member – a period of thirty six years. Botany Bay Yacht Club – 1964 – 1983

The Heuchmers at the Skippers Cocktail Party at the CYCA in 2013

What class or type of boats have you sailed in your life?

(This takes a bit of space because Gunter has successfully designed and built many classes of boats! He estimated that he has built about 1,200 boats in his life.) 1964 – Designed and built the Southerly 23 1965 – Designed and built the Westerly 26 1967 – Designed and built the Compass 28 – four hundred of them. Then the Compass 29 until 1979.




44

A Compass 29

1975 – Made two Farr 11.04’s using a mould. One was called . I did Sydney to Hobart races in these boats.

1979,1980,1981 – Designed and built the Spider 22, 24 and 28’s.

A Spider 28 currently for sale.




45

1981 – Built Ross 780’s. I then sold the moulds to Qld. 1983 – Farr 37’s - made the moulds and made the boats.

A Farr 37 which is currently for sale in Coff Harbour. This is the start of the description:

Sailing Yacht for Family Cruising or Racing , Farr 37 built by

Master Craftsman Gunter Heuchmer in 1986 from Kevlar infused Fibreglass epoxy saturated balsa end core sandwich (not foam core) , with a lead keel , bulb addition by Lyons. This

is NOT a cheaply built production boat , quality of build is exceptional.

1983/84 – Built Farr 40’s. One of these as skipper in , which won the Sydney to Hobart Yacht race with a crew of ten.

I used to build Hartley 16’s with Colin Hinwood. One was changed and modified, it was called

, and I used to race it in Ballina. About six years ago I designed and built the Spider 550’s (yes the same species which form a large part of the current Trailer Sailor fleet). This design was based on a Colson (Norm’s current

boat ). Col Hinwood got the plan of the Colson and it was modified.




46

Amongst all this I have sailed on Hobie 16’s and 16 foot skiffs. Also a sabot named with Bill (my son). I got hoarse coaching him.

Favourite and why?

Two boats: The Spider 22 because it had good accommodation and was quite quick. The Farr 40 – possibly the cream of the Bruce Farr designs.

Best sailing experience?

Winning the Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race as skipper in 1984.

Indian Pacific- the boat in which Gunter won the 1984 Sydney to Hobart




47

Worst sailing experience?

I used to race from 1960-67 in the junior off shore group in a Southerly 23. In a race from Sydney to Port Kembla I end over ended the yacht under spinnaker down a big wave. We kept going and still won the race.

Have you sailed at any state or national titles? If so, what ones?

Not a lot as I have mainly sailed in yachts. In 1976 I won the Australian One Tonne championship (in Gun boats) racing against the American – Ted Turner (who was the skipper of the victorious America’s Cup defence in 1977). I had flown Bruce Farr to Australia to sail with me.

I did win a lot of offshore titles in a Farr 37 called , which later became ‘ ,

’ – which is raced in Sydney to Hobart races.

Aside from being first in 1984 in the Sydney to Hobart I was third in a Farr 37 – in

1985, eighteenth in 1976 in – a sister ship to (a boat I built which won the 1976 Sydney to Hobart). Eighth in 1981.

Piccolo which won the 1976 Sydney to Hobart – built by Gunter.




48

I won the Petersville series in Melbourne in 1985. I have also raced in the US and Europe. Best results in a series at RRSRC?

-

Suggestions on how sailing as a sport could be improved?

I think the club is doing the right thing – getting young people in. Numbers are dropping in sailing everywhere – it can be expensive to maintain a boat to sail once a week.

Why do you go sailing?

- To win and to learn to lose.

- I like to be on the water although I’m a bit stiff for the Spider 550’s, you have to move pretty quick. It’s OK sailing with Colin (Hinwood).

Apart from the cheese/dips and crackers why do you sail at RRSRC on a Sunday?

I like to go because I like to help out, taking stress off rosters or people – because they want to sail.

Are there any sailing dreams you aspire to?

No, not really – I’ve done most of it. I’ve done 35,000 miles in oceans. I’ve sailed in New Zealand. In the one tonne series I sailed with the best of the best. I feel satisfied. I’ve done enough sailing.

Any boat you aspire to?

A Spider 22, if one came along, or a Ross 780 (by Murray Ross). Any advice for up and coming sailors?

Sail the small classes first, then something bigger. Become part of a club, don’t just be a number.

Any superstitions or customs in relation to your sailing?

No

Would you like to share one thing that people at the club might not know about you?

I used to race Bill’s (my son) race car, but I no longer have a racing license.

Mr Wiley’s Winter Training Programme

Hi all

As I’ve mentioned, I do intend to run a winter training program again this winter. It will consist of both theoretical sessions and on water sailing practice. In this case (with the permissions of the club), the on water sailing will include both skiff sailing and practice sessions steering a Laser to give more people time to just get some practice helming a sail boat. The theory will be very similar to last year, with the exception that there will be a stand alone class dealing with the racing rules (which I would guess some of last year’s attendees would like to come for). I normally let people know what will be covered in an upcoming class and provide written notes.

https://youtu.be/M_VrsZ_fyXc



50

Now I know a number of you (at least 3) are away in June and, in addition, I am having a small BCC removed from the top of my foot very late May for which my doctor tells me he will not countenance the usual early return to sailing because of the thinness of the skin there and the longer healing time.

So it is all likely to start mid to late June.

In the mean time, if those away could give me their dates of absence, I will do my best to minimise what you miss to the extent practical.

Any club member (or intending member) can attend the theory classes, regardless whether they are part of the skiff group. If you know of someone who would like to be added to this distribution group, please have them contact me by email.

Conversely, I don’t like to pointlessly clog up email in boxes. If anyone would like to be omitted from the distribution list or only notified of the rules day please let me know. Cheers Michael 0417 455 106
