Over the Labour Day weekend in March, the Victorian Impulse Association will be conducting their Victorian State Titles, and also the Southern State Titles at the Williamstown Sailing Club.  There are 4 sessions for racing; Saturday afternoon, Sunday morning, Sunday afternoon and Monday morning.
 
So come on down and watch the action of this class on the water- we are needing volunteer helpers across various activities both on and off the water over the weekend.
 

Williamstown Sailing club was victorious at the Annual Top of the Bay event held between the small boat sailing clubs at this end of Port Phillip Bay on 6th Feb.
In very challenging conditions Willy boats Sailed across to Port Melbourne to compete in the race.
Well done to all those who competed, the scores between clubs were close but we came out on top.

Thousands of sailing photo's on the WSC website but not one of any club fishing member activities. The WSC has approx 80 fishing members, I have posted numerous fishing photo's of previous club fishing events but alas have failed to get one published.

This coming Saturday, 30th January, several of our experienced Sabre sailors are going to run a workshop for any interested sailors from 11.15am, prior to the day's race. This is primarily geared at Sabre sailors and techniques, but anyone is welcome to come and join in.
 

Saturday saw this year’s Club-1 group out on the water for the first time. Having completed their Learn to Sail course only a few weeks earlier, the promise of good conditions for beginners brought a number of them down to the club for their first race. The conditions though ultimately proved challenging. Despite the benign weather forecast of 15 to 20 knot winds and seas of 0.5 to 1 metre, conditions out there on Saturday were tough. The wind was quite variable and the swell seemed a lot higher than the predicted 1 metre.

Race result standings for the Club and Class Championships 2009 have now been published:

• Club Championship
• Class Championship

The results sheets also have a permanent link on the "Club Racing" page.

What a great day for our latest graduates from the famous WSC Learn to Sail program to test their new found sailing wings and brave the channel and sail over to St Kilda. Under the safe guidance of Allan, Doug, Gary, Andrew & Bruce, who tagged along  in the Jack Cox and an inflatable runnabout ; the team made the most of the lovely sunny and light conditions and made it over and back from St Kilda, without any major incidents. I think some had  thought they would be able to stop for a coffee at St Kilda!
 

We still have a few vacancies if anyone would like to join the course, next Sunday 31st January, to do a Level 2 First Aid certification.- see details below.  If interested call Lois on 93973895 or email lois@ljr.com.au
