This was a wonderful example of inter-club cooperation.  A large number of NCYC members volunteered their time, to perform various functions over the two days, four hours,34 minutes and fifty two seconds of the race. 

Aurora was on station from noon Friday doing the HF skeds and monitoring the radio.  Episode (the Thrifty boat) was likewise on station to take finish times with the first boat across the line just after 1pm on Saturday.  The tender from Far Niente was the ferry boat for food, changes in crew etc for the other two boats.  And then there was the team of Inner Circle Rum Runners who welcomed each boat into NCYC marina, and our galley slaves who looked after the vittles when yachts came in outside of meal hours. 

Congratulations to the owners of Summer Salt,  NCYC Rear Commodore Paul Gleeson and Tim Gleeson, and to their crew on winning the inaugural Combined Ocean Pointscore series hosted so successfully by Lake Macquarie Yacht Club.  Our thanks to LMYC and to Russell Cummings in particular.

For the attention of Members, Rolex Sydney Hobart Race Competitors and Fellow BlueWater Yachtsmen and Yachtswomen.

As you are aware, an internal CYCA Inquiry is currently underway into the Flinders Islet Race which resulted in the tragic loss of Andrew Short and Sally Gordon and the vessel PricewaterhouseCoopers.

Although the Committee is still preparing its final report, some issues have arisen which the Board feels it is important to draw to the attention of members competing in any off-shore event, but more particularly the forthcoming Rolex Sydney to Hobart race.

Please click HERE to download the considerations from the Board.

The Newcastle Cruising Yacht Club is currently seeking a Naming Rights Sponsor for the Inaugural NCYC Easter Etchells Regatta for 2010. The regatta is proposed to be an annual event that will in time attract the premier yachtsman in Australia as well as abroad.

A recent Etchells regatta held at Lake Macquarie Yacht Club attracted such names as John Bertrand, Rob Brown and Peter McNeil. Etchells are a one design class that provides very close racing which enhances its spectator appeal.

The NCYC are currently looking for a Naming Rights Sponsor that will provide monetary sponsorship that will aid in the running of the event and are looking to prominent local businesses within Newcastle to aid the Club in hosting this regatta.

The exposure level at the Newcastle Cruising Yacht Club is high with the ability to have product placement, banners and signage on display. As well as a strong presence on the website. (See right hand side HOME PAGE logo opportunity). We will also be working with the local media groups to further broaden awareness of the event.

The event will be held over the 2010 Easter Weekend starting on Thursday 1st April and running through until Monday 5th April 2010.

If you would like to take advantage of this fantastic opportunity or you would like further information please contact:
John Streeter: jstreeter@eje.com.au or 0438 183 653.
