Hi PKSC members
PKSC's presentation will look a bit different this year. We will be holding it outside on the rigging area and are asking that everyone brings their own picnic.
The canteen will be open if people would like to purchase drinks.
The presentation will be for the 2021/20 season and the 2019/2020 season that was cut short due to COVID.
We look forward to seeing everyone at 2pm on Saturday 8 May
Thanks

Racing cancelled. Due to very light and variable wind conditions as per holfuy below. Also quite a few away supporting StGeorges Basin Regatta.
It was actually quite a nice warm day around 26 degrees. Only that very light variable breese in the end making those who did turn up decide not to sail. Obviosly no TY's. Tony Zahra bringing down his cat, as did Alex and iryna with their cat, Steve Watts on his Weta and Sam Cronin and crew. Ever reliable Bill Ledger coming down to to do finishes. I came down ready to do duty. Senior sailors chosing to go home and I ended up assisting the juniors who deferred their end of season sailing session with the previous week blown out.

Catamaran Results 2020-2021 Round 18 13-02-2021 (PS17)
Around 10 - 15 knots breeze with up to 22knot gusts from the South and a 19 degree max with a few showers made for a pretty cool day. This week the Lightweight sharpies joined in for round 5 of their NSW states series Rounds 6,7 & 8 planned for the next day, Sunday). This week we had 8 catamarans out on the water; Hugh Lewis on HotPepper, Ian Fraser on maricat, Wayne Barry on Prima Facia Maricat, Ralf Steyer on Dark Horse windrush, Tony Zahra on Whitewave maricat, Jeff Reid on Havoc maricat, Dave Glover on Soggy Moggy Nacra 14. Alsion and Rafeal Rutherford on their newly aquired windrush not sailing in the afternoon (going out in morning). With sharpies joining us we had duty crew course setters Jim Curry & Barry Grant on Wal Curry + Richard Hipsley & Richard Lech on Puffa. This week with extra helpers on hand we had some good old burgers. Dave glover not having his best week. Dropping mast when setting up, when he left shore his main sail halyard snapping dropping his mainsail and he just managed to limp back in past the breakwall to get back to shore for repairs. Hence he missed the start. Finally got going then managed to capsize, noticed a watch sliding down the upturned hull, realizing he no longer had a watch on his wrist, thankfully a last minute grab secured the watch. And he was able to right his boat and continue. Other than that Dave had a good day. The 1st triangle when the breeze was 15 plus knots suited Hot Pepper who was able to out sprint the field and round the top mark 1st. The stiff breeze and choppy conditions giving Prima Facia some issues hence calling it a day. After the 1st triangle the wind dropping off slightly allowing plenty of contesting for the lead. Tony Zahra experience showing thru when he led the pack home.

Duty Mick Morrel and Hugh Lewis. Ralf Steyer on dark horse choosing to go cat rigged to compete with Wayne Barry. Wayne getting the better of the contest leading Ralf home by a good margin. Alison with Rafael on their newly purchased windrush (from Paul Leaudais ) did well on their 2nd outing getting around the course enjoying the conditions.

Catamaran Results 2020-2021 Round 15a 30-01-2021 (PS15a)
Due to slight miss calculation on calendar we had an addition round added to sailing season 15a. In the morning pretty much calm with showers didn't look too inviting with the juniors doing theory in the clubhouse. By the time the afternoon came around the showers dried up and it became a balmy 27 degrees Celsius with a hint of sunshine. With some initial trepidation thee breeze kicked in just on sail time. Being a very enjoyable N-NE-ENE 10-14 knots with up to 20 knot gusts. Start straight out in front of club house towards middle of the lake, top mark down towards the entry to IYC/reef and wing mark near Gooseberry Island.
This week we welcomed new catamaran owner(s) Alison & Rafael Rutherford who purchased a windrush from Paul Leaudais. Paul was busy with Alison tow bar setting it up for the catamaran trailer. Also assisted Alison in assembling the catamaran resulting in her taking it out cat rigged. She went out solo for the 1st time cat rigged happily sailing by herself without misadventure. When she returned to shore she had a smile from ear to ear. Folks this week I'd like to welcome our newest cat sailor.
What is going on!!!! Dave Glovers 14 square was rigged and out on the Lake by 1:30pm (1/2hr before race sequences start). Did Tony Zahra take out his boat by accident? Dave was that really you or an imposter!

Catamarans Point Score as at 30-01-2021 and Catamarans Club Championship as at 30/01/2021 care of Wayne Barry.
The morning didn't start too promising with showers and near calm on the Lake. As the day progressed nearer to race time the heavens cleared and the day warmed to a balmy 27 degrees. At the start there was a mixture of port and starboard tacks criss crossing the start line. Those who chose port tack either at or soon after the start had a distinct advantage. The starboard starters trailing for the duration of the race unable to make up the difference. At various stages of the race 10 to 15knot breeze with up to 20 knot gusts making for some great runs. The maricat's pushing deep into the shallows on their port work up to the top mark. The final run from the top mark to the X ended up being a screamer. Spray flying as the boats raced away to the X. From X to the finish line saw plenty of mixing and dicing. The lead changing at the line with Geoff Reid crossing the line just in front of Wayne Barry.
After the race and everyone even Dave had packed up. Most having left with only Dave and myself remaining. Lightning, thunder and heavy rain bucketed down so we decided to crack an ale and wait it out for 1/2 and hour watching the weather show.

However Les Porter , Bob junior also came down for a sail on their foiling A class catamarans as did Chris Malcolm on his F18. (The large cats not racing). Tony and Chris setting a fairly long course as requested (approximately 1.5km catamaran legs). Bottom mark out behind gooseberry Island in middle of the Lake top mark over near shallows and wing mark down towards the reef. Once the race started Havoc and Dark Horse in particular neck and neck swapping the lead on a number of occasions. Hot Pepper training slightly just out of reach not able to make up the gap in the lighter conditions. Dark Horse only able to make a bit of a break on the last leg towards the X mark. The final leg also allowing Hot Pepper to make up some ground on Havoc. With the shifty breeze on last leg to the line making for some interesting works.

Catamaran Results 2020-2021 Round 7 07-11-2020 (round 7 cancelled due to strong winds)
This week a reasonable turnout even with a stiff SE breeze predicted. Cloudy a mild 17 degrees. Learn to sail attracting around 16 youngsters and parents in the morning. Around 3 TY's , wasp, 5 catamarans and 3 sharpies coming down for a sail. At briefing advised the sailors that whilst wind was up towards top end of our sailing limit of consistent 25 knots we could still sail. The masses voting not to go out. The onshore white cap waves looking pretty un-inviting. The sharpie boys waiting a little longer before also deciding not to go out. See below for wind strength as per Holfuy on the day.

Catamaran Results 2020-2021 Round 6 31-10-2020 (round 6 cancelled due to thunder storm activity)
This week a very wet morning greeted a good learn to sail turnout. Absolutely bucketing rain pounding down in morning making for indoor learn to sail. Also flooding over the lawn and washing away the beach. Average wind speed not too bad although some squalls blowing thru making it pretty unpleasant at times. By the time we got to briefing in the afternoon there were still storm cells hanging around even though the rain had cleared a little it was decided to cancel with the potential storm and lightning activity. A few rumbles in distance finalizing the decision.
Catamaran Results 2020-2021 Round 5 24-10-2020 (round 5 cancelled due to thunder storm activity)
A level of uncertainty hovered regards what the weather would throw at us didn't stop a good turnout with 3 mono's,11 catamarans and 4 TY's coming down for a sail. Great to see Wayne Barry enticing a couple of extra maricat visitors for the drive up from Swan Lake to participate Ian Fraser and Ron Sword. Dave Glover wondering if he did the right thing leaving the maricat for a Nacra 14 square when there were 5 or 6 maricats planning to sail. Tony Zahra back for 1st race of season. Dave Glover rigged up the Nacra, Les Porter on Foiling A Class, Bob {Porter Junior and Johnny on 5.8m Nacra, Alex and Iryna Kucherenko and Jeff Reid and Hugh Lewis rounding out the catamaran field. We were actually down a couple of cats this week in Tony Sanderson self isolating with a cold and Jack Kroek. A northerly breeze of around 15 knots predicted as well as rain and around 25 degrees. There was plenty of anticipation and debate regards the possible weather conditions unfolding as the day progressed. Reviewing the radar just before briefing Lake Illawarra was surrounded by storm cells moving in from NW direction. So it was decided firstly to wait till 1:30pm to see what occurred then the start was deferred 1/2 and hour. Duty team Hayden Sellers and Arron Weare went out onto Lake Illawarra and advised wind speed of around 15 knots. A couple of lightning claps and concerns that storm cells kept forming over the mountains and heading towards us. After consulting with available lightning, weather radar technology and consulting with a few of the experienced senior members it was decided to cancel sailing due to safety concerns associated with unpredictable storm conditions and lightning.
Big thanks to Wayne Barry who has taken over scoring and a little help from Barry Grant.

A very cool 12 degree day with a 10 to 15 knots breeze and rain etc only saw one sailor turn up today (Dave Glover with his maricat catamaran shabby Tabby). Early on in morning their was some strong winds around 20 knots with up to 30 knot gusts, which I suspect combined with near Gale force wind forecast for the day put off some others who may have come down.
Early on a group of paddle boarders from around Windang and utilized the 20 knot southerly breeze at this time and combined with a few waves to make their way over to Port Kembla Sailing Club utilizing our rigging area to exit the lake. They must be hardy soles most wearing board shorts and short sleeved rash vest or T shirt.
Hugh Lewis, Alex and Iryna coming down to do duty. Bill Ledger, Ross Fyfe (with trusty dog) and Wayne Barry coming down to assist as finishers. Sylvia Ledger sorting out kitchen activities and feeding those hardy souls coming down to the club house today.
I took the opportunity to go thru duty crew responsibilities with Alex and Iryna.
Early on there was a stiff breeze however as the morning progressed the wind strength steadily dropped. Around 11:30am Ralf Steyer rang to see how many keen sailors had turned up for a sail. Saying if another sailor or two showed up he would come down. (unfortunately this didn't eventuate).
We passed time eating a burger and having a good chat waiting to see if any other hardy sailors would come down.
With no further sailors coming down and after discussion with those present It was decided to call off sailing this week due to lack of participants. Even though the wind strength was a quit reasonable 10 to 15 knots.
Results c/o small cats delegate Ralf Steyer,
Duty crew:- Hugh Lewis, Alex and Iryna.
Finishing Bill Ledger, Ross Fyfe and Wayne Barry.

Catamaran Results 2019-2020 Round 20 07-03-2020
A cool cloudy day around 23 degree day with a 10 to 15 knots breeze with up to 20 knot gusts S. This week we had four (4) catamarans come down for a sail. Tony Zahra, Jody Matthews, Dave Glover and Hugh Lewis. This week Richard Hipsley and Paul Leaudais doing duty. The course start out in front of the club before Gooseberry Island, top mark towards the middle of the Lake and wing mark towards the IYC. Hot Pepper and Shabby Tabby making it to the start line. The catamarans starting without incident starboard tack towards the reef good wind strength allowing use of trapeze. The wind swung towards the SE meaning we overshot the lay line a little. Duty crew made an adjustment to top mark location after 1st lap to give a better angle. Hot Pepper having an incident free race. Shabby Tabby also out on the wire had a little excitement when attempting to come in off the wire near some fishermen slipping and then doing a not so graceful dismount. Culminating in a capsize. The crew on the fishing boat giving rousing cheers and a high rating for artistic capsize skills in near proximity of their boat. Salvaging some dented pride and sporting a choc top Shabby Tabby completed the race. Requiring some gumption cleaning product to clean the lake mud discoloration from the sail.

Catamaran Results 2019-2020 Round 19 29-02-2020
A warm 24 degree day with a 10 to 15 knots breeze with up to 25 knot gusts ENE. This week we had seven (7) catamarans come down for a sail. Les Porter going out early to polish up on his foiling A class skills for an upcoming regatta. And Glenn Morrel joining us on his foiling windsurfer. Todd and Riley Curry setting a great catamaran course. The course start out in the middle of the lake above Gooseberry Island, top mark near the IYC entrance and wind mark just inside Gooseberry Island. Once out on the water the breeze picked up a little to a fairly consistent 15 knots making for some exhilarating sailing. The catamaran start was hotly contested with the likes of Tony Zahra, Wayne Barry and Ralf Steyer hitting the line well pretty much on the start hooter. A start board work towards Gooseberry Island saw the top 3 boats pointing high enough to get across the east corner of Gooseberry. Hot Pepper going a bit deeper out on the wire had to tack earlier to avoid the island as did Freja and Shabby Tabby. The stronger wind suiting Hot Pepper able to power up and reveled in the conditions leading the way to the top mark and led the rest of the race. With a little bit of luck on the 1st work and weight with levered advantage allowing Hot Pepper to maintain the lead. Even surviving a submarine episode on a screaming reach from the top mark towards the wind mark when a strong gust came thru. Sitting behind the back beam just able to prevent lurching forward and hence able to pull back on the trapeze wire to pull the nose of the hull back above water again. Prima Facie, White Wave and Dark Horse in hot pursuit the full race ready to pounce if hot pepper made a mistake. Hot Pepper going for speed on the works able to maximize power out on the wire able to out distance the higher pointing chasers. Then holding them at bay on the reaches.
The launch area was a little steep this week due to the rain run off and onshore breeze waves having cut away at the shoreline. The ever thoughtful Tony Zahra doing a little shovel work to make a makeshift ramp.

Catamaran Results 2019-2020 Round 18 22-02-2020
A warm cloudy 21 degree day with a light Wind estimated around 5 to 15 knots SSE swinging around to NE by the end of the race making it pretty tough for duty team to set a true course. This week we had eight (8) participating in catamaran division even with 2 out to do duty (Jody and Jack). The course start east of Gooseberry Island, top mark out in middle of lake and wing mark above the reef. This week course layout was assisted thru the use of GPS to get accurate leg lengths and angles. A quick run thru and practice using a GPS onshore giving the duty crew confidence in using "Way Points". The catamaran start was hotly contested and a pretty tight affair with Hot Pepper getting into the mix with the more experienced White Wave and Dark Horse, The cats getting away without any further fuss and heading on starboard tack. Hot Pepper following White Wave over shooting the lay line. The rest of the fleet tacking earlier and making good ground. As the race progressed the breeze swung around from a southerly to a north easterly direction and on the final leg the catamarans had a shy reach directly from the bottom to top mark and the a screaming work back to the X mark, the wind picking up to around the 10-15 knot mark for these 2 legs. Tony Zahra leading the way home, followed by Ralf Steyer, Wayne Barry Hugh Lewis and Dave Glover. Alex and Aryna Kucherenko and Greg Morrell (not given finish times) and Les Porter getting out on the water earlier doing his own thing. The launch area was a little steep this week due to the rain run off and onshore breeze waves having cut away at the shoreline.

Catamaran Results 2019-2020 Round 17 15-02-2020
A warm 26 degree day with a light Wind around 5 to 9 knots SE. This week numbers were down due to the Moth states and people not sailing to assist with running this regatta (Wayne Barry). I defected with Tony Sanderson to give him a hand sailing his TY "Ruby" This left us with 4 catamarans sailing this week. Jody Mathews on "Freyja", Ralf Steyer on "Dark Horse", Alex and Arinya on "Sunny Bunny" and Dave Glover on "Shabby Tabby". Dave going particularly well in the light conditions challenging Ralf all the way till the last leg. The round the lake race started using the Moth Sates start line and start boat. With a mass start (single start). The start was out south of Gooseberry Island. 1st starboard round mark up towards Windang then a good reach for the Ty's over to Koonawarra. Due to the lighter wind conditions the duty crew shortened up the Oak Flats mark and placed in approx 200 - 300m south of Koonawarra mark. Once port rounding around Koonawarra mark and Oak flats mark. The back to Windang then X and finish. The winds being a little light for the foiling moths hence we had the lake to ourselves. Whilst muddy the lake was pretty free of flotsam.

Catamaran Results 2019-2020 Round 5 19-10-2019
Quite a summery day peaking around 29 degrees with a 15 to 20 knot westerly breeze predicted (I was advised gusts on meteye forecast up to 40 knots). With the strong gusty westerly winds predicted to strengthen during the afternoon deterred a number of catamaran sailors. Those who did bring their craft down hoping to get out on the water were myself, Alex & Aryna Kucherenko, Wayne Barry and Johnny & Bob Porter bring down their brand new Nacra 5.8. This week Tony Sanderson and Paul Leaudais bringing down Tony's TY "Ruby". Paul English and Dave Glover launching the Wal Curry as it was their turn for duty. Bill Ledger and Ross Fyfe and Norm and Chris Malcolm rounding out the catamaran supporters. The juniors getting out on the water in the morning. The breeze picked up towards the end of their session a 30 to 40 knot gust coming thru. Looking out over Lake Illawarra the water scape varied. One minute looking ok until a gust whipped up a very different view with plentiful white caps. After a burger and discussion and review of the current Holfuy conditions and predictions of increasing wind strength it was decided to call off the days racing. To the disappointment of some and the relief of others. Below a couple of photos and a snapshot of Holfuy.

Those who arrived early found the plovers very protective of 2 tiny plover chicks running around the rigging area dodging cars and boats. The parent plovers flying around diving past anyone who strayed too close to their young. At 11am the AGM was held and various positions elected. Around luch time Glen Morrell (foiling windsurfer) came to see me interested in joining our club. And he advised a couple of his colleagues are also interested in sailing at our club. Glen and one of his fellow wind surfers going out early when the wind was blowing a bit stronger and a few whitecaps across the lake.
This week the two F18's of Chris and Bob Porter doing a windward return course (4 times around the top mark). And the balance of the small cats doing the standard course. This week weta(s) joined the monohulls and Paul English on Nacra 16sq joined the small cats. Tony Zahra on White wave deciding not to go. Those racing were rewarded with variable but moderate conditions.
