On the 28th and 29th of July, four of the Queensland 125 Fleet participated in the annual Humpybong Sailing Club WinterBash in preparation for our upcoming Nationals held at the Club. With not much wind around, all four crews showed incredible determination to finish all the courses, especially the marathon race on Sunday, a whopping 22km race, and kept up with the strong fleet of lasers. All crews had a wonderful time and cannot wait to spend time down at the club at the end of the year. 

Results are below:
1st Place: Pigs In Space Too - Chris Mann and Luke Johnson
2nd Place: "J" - Peter Mann and Alexa Mann
8th Place: After Thought - Hayden Barney and Keely Strauss

Thanks to Humpybong Sailing Club for hosting a wonderful regatta. We can't wait for the HumpyBash in October!

Jason Brewer Memorial Race

Everyone came down on the 16th of November to compete in the Jason Brewer Memorial race. There was a great turn out at Brisbane Sailing Squadron with lots of young and old competitors as well as former 125 sailors making a guest appearance. With a fleet of 12 boats here’s a brief overview of the results:

Scratch:

1st Doug Brewer and Jimmy ‘J’

2nd Jenny Hawgood and Kye Hawgood ‘Waterloo’

3rd Lily Geck and Xanthe Walker ‘Imagine’

Handicap:

1st Josh Cox and Grant Steinback ‘Oddly Enough’

2nd Anika Jovi McCarthy and Jonas Trefeu ‘Feel Good Shift of the Summer’

3rd Dannica Streader and Megan Strauss ‘Machavellian’

Although it was an overcast day, the racing was great and we all had lots of fun! It was an excellent race in preparation for this year’s nationals in QLD! The fleet had raced two weeks prior in the River titles with a competitive fleet of 17 125’s. With the regattas giving an opportunity for additional training and practice it is looking good for QLD at the fast approaching Nationals.

Happy New Year 2011

Welcome  to 2011…in Brisbane the year has begun with a devasting flood which has affected homes and businesses throughout the city. Our river club Brisbane Sailing Squadron which is located down the river at Bulimba was untouched. We were very lucky. The attached photo shows the club jetty submerged. This Saturday 29^th sees the club begin the year with the sailing of the 5^th Club Championship.

No QLD boats made the trip to Perth this year for the Nationals so nothing to report there. However, congratulations to WA for their successful carnival and to all competitors. 

In Queensland we are gearing up for our State Titles in April at Hervey Bay. The competition is going to be HOT… rumour has it that a certain Victorian who was made an honorary QLD years ago will be competing…. stay posted for more updates.

Qld Happenings - October

This season has started out slowly, with fleet numbers being down. 125 fleets are currently racing out of both the Brisbane Sailing Squadron and the Darling Point Sailing Squadron. As always we are keen to see both new and old boats on the water so drag the boat out of the corner in the garage dust her off and come sailing down on the river or bay!

 Early this year the association purchased ‘STARBUG’ sail number 3026, former national championship winning boat for the use of member and potential members. However due to a few years of idle neglect the boat is currently under restoration by John Anderson and myself. It is the aim of the committee to have the boat on the water and available for hire at DPSS for any and all potential members.

 The annual South East Queensland championships is being held in conjunction with the DPSS GRFC regatta. The 125 SEQ titles will be held on Saturday the 12^th and Sunday the 13 of December. A notice of race will be released when the details are finalised.

 If members who currently have ‘project boats’  require assistance, don’t forget that the committee is just an email of phone call away!

 Finally and importantly the South Australian division of the National Executive Committee  (NEC) has called for agenda items for the 2009-2010 national conference. This is where any changes to the constitution and Rules of construction and measurement are voted on. Each state is asked to submit rule changes 8 weeks before the conference. Currently the QLD division has no items to put forward to vote on. For changes to the rules of construction and measurement  2 votes are required to pass an amendment to the rules. There are currently a number of rules up for their second vote. When the agenda is released by the NEC the QLD committee will review the proposed changes and circulate its decision for the members review prior to the NEC conference.

 If you have any questions on any of the items I have discussed please drop me an email or give me a call.
