COMMODORE'S MESSAGE 

This report marks the end of an extremely successful 

season for the club both on and off the water. 

The activities and achievements of the club as a body 

and of individuals have been covered adequately in the 

Annual Report, the various Class Reports and the 

Financial Statements, however, I would be remiss if I did 

not make mention of the fantastic results achieved by 

Andrew and Alison Chapman, winning the Flying Eleven 

State Title and finishing third overall in the Nationals. 

Congratulations Alison and Andrew. The last time that 

Lane Cove won the Flying Elevens State Title was in 

1985/6 when another sibling combination, Justin & Ilya 

Connell, took out the honours. Let’s hope we don’t have 

to wait as long for the next win. 

Before the Annual General Meeting a number of 

members said to me that they would give me all the 

support I needed in this role and I am pleased to say they 

have all kept their word, so much so that I feel a little 

guilty. 

Thank you to all the class secretaries, the starters and 

finishers, the rescue boat crews and those who 

performed the essential task of Officer of the Day. This 

task has been traditionally shared amongst the 

committee with assistance from one or two extra club 

members. It would be nice to see the volunteer base 

extended so that perhaps in the future it will only be 

necessary to officiate (slog your guts out) once a season. 

Let me know if you are willing to help out. 

I would also like to thank each and every member of the 

committee. In these times, where for some reason we all 

have a lot less time, it is heartening to see a dedicated 

team pitch in to keep the wheels turning and keep your 

club moving forward. I didn’t want to mention names 

(as you may have noticed) but, in particular, I must 

acknowledge the contribution of Rolf Lunsmann to 

administration, sailing and generally good ideas, John 

Hayward on administration, maintenance and generally 

following up many long and protracted issues, Warwick 

Thomson, our on water captain who is just as active with 

off water matters and Andrew Glassock for leaving the 

club in good shape. 

In his report last year Andrew suggested that to remain 

viable the club needed to increase its membership base 

by about 100. This season saw an overall increase of 

37 (15%) from 242 to 279 and already we are seeing a 

vastly improved financial result. If we can achieve 

Andrew’s goal over the next two seasons then I agree we 

will be in a far better position to fund the increasing costs 

of maintaining and improving our assets as well as 

spreading the burden. I too say “encourage your friends 

to get a boat and get down to Lane Cove” and encourage 

your spouses, children and/or parents to become 

members and enjoy our facilities. 

Jack Winning - commodore@lc12ftssc.org.au 

ANNUAL REPORT 2003/04 

The season just past must have been one of the most 

successful and enjoyable for many years. Friendships 

amongst both the younger and older age groups 

flourished, as did the relationships of all age groups with 

one another. Lane Cove continued to build on its 

reputation as a true family club. 

The club sailing achievements have been covered in the 

Class Reports and the winners of Championships, 

Pointscores and individual races are listed separately. 

Very early in the season, to coincide with the first Friday 

of daylight saving, we held a Cocktail Party. We reached 

out with invitations, as best we could, not only to current 

and recent sailors and parents but to many from past 

eras with the result of over 200 in attendance, including 

five life members. We were pleased to also have with us 

the General Manager of Yachting Australia NSW, Andrew 

Hamilton, and Denise Van their Administration Officer. 

Andrew was sufficiently inspired by the atmosphere of the 

evening and commitment of the members past and 

present, to write a letter to “Afloat” magazine which we 

proudly reproduced in the club’s newsletter. The 

highlight of the evening was of course the recognition of 

William (Bill) Edmondson as a Life Member. 

Life Membership 

The committee may recommend one person who has 

rendered special and outstanding service to the Club to 

be elected a Life Member by the Annual General 

Meeting. 

At the 2003 meeting Bill Edmondson, a member since 

1955 and Auditor since 1967, was elected to this, the 

highest honour the members of this club can bestow on 

anyone. Apart from Bill’s major contribution in the 

capacity of Auditor, over the years Bill has always been 

there doing whatever has been needed to be done and 

supporting whoever needed supporting whenever they 

needed it. Congratulations Bill and thank you. 

Bill Edmondson

Sadly, as we gain one we lose one. Peter Fay who was 

born in 1921, passed away on 22 April 2004. Peter had 

lived out of Sydney for some 30 years but took the time 

on return visits to pop in and have a look at the club that 

provided him, in his words, with “the happiest memories 

of my sailing years”. Peter was an enthusiastic reader of 

our newsletters and when he received the one which 

reproduced Andrew Hamilton’s letter, praising the 

philosophy of Lane Cove, he was moved to write to us on 

19 February, particularly recalling the unforgettable time 

he had on the weekend of our 100 th anniversary. 

Vale Peter. 

Membership 

There was a heartening increase in membership this 

season which was reflected in increased fee income but 

more importantly increased fleet sizes in all classes. 

There was a quantum leap in the 12 fleet and a 

rejuvenation of the Cherubs, an increase in the Lasers, 

Flying Elevens, Sabots and Manly Juniors. 

We also welcomed a number of new or lapsed Associate 

Members. 

Statistics 

Life members 10 

Senior Members 81 

Associate Members 67 

Youth Members 121 

Total Membership 279 

Newsletter 

During the season five newsletters plus this Annual 

Report have been produced, four were mailed to 

members and supporters and the fifth, because of time 

sensitivity, was only e-mailed. 

As we all become more “on-line”, the club has moved to 

build its database of e-mail addresses and currently 

sends out over 200 newsletters in this fashion. Next 

season it is hoped we will reduce even more the number 

sent by snail mail allowing us to improve our 

communications, cut costs and give you a full colour 

newsletter. Thanks to our newsletter editor, immediate 

past commodore Andrew Glassock, for harassing class 

secretaries, keeping in touch with what’s happening, and 

using his computer skills to keep us informed. 

The season’s newsletters are all available on our web 

site. 

Web Site 

During the season our web site was re-vamped by 

Jo Clarke. Jo is the only one of her family not sailing; son 

and daughter Owen and Mevagh sail in Flying Elevens 

whilst husband Alan sails a Laser – perhaps next season 

Jo! 

If you haven’t had a look recently or at all, have a browse 

next time you are in front of your computer, like the rest 

of us you’ll be impressed: www.lc12ftssc.org.au 

Give us your feedback, if you think there is something we 

should or could have up there or should do differently let 

us know and we’ll try to do it. 

Thanks Jo, much appreciated. 

Social 

The reporting period commenced with our 2002/3 

Presentation Dinner. Again this season we had both 

junior and senior presentations on the same evening and 

the one event. An early start allowed those with younger 

families and/or babysitting commitments to attend the 

junior presentation and dinner and still get home at a 

reasonable hour. A new innovation, a power-point slide 

show prepared by Rolf Lunsmann, was an outstanding 

success that encapsulated the season’s many activities 

and managed to pull on the heart strings of all present. 

The early Season Cocktail Party was a resounding 

success and the presentation night slide show with added 

historical shots was extremely popular. The club looked 

great thanks to our resident interior decorators, Lyn 

Francis and Clare Hayward and the night ran without a 

hitch due to the planning of a dedicated committee of 

Susan Chambers, Tracey Griffin, Clare Morcombe, 

Annette Winning, Lyn Francis, Clare Hayward and a few 

husbands. The most pleasing part and what made the 

evening both a social and financial success was the 

teenage sailors who pitched in with serving the food and 

where appropriate, the drinks. Thank you Kate Hayward, 

Felicity Killoran, Emily Press, James Francis, Patrick 

Bodiemeade, Brad Phillips, Lachie Paramor, Heidi 

Winning, Alex Chambers, Allison Kenney, Rachael 

Massingham, Will Chapman, Andrew Chapman and 

David Winning – a truly fine Lane Cove effort. 

Culinary rivalry was at an all time high with each class 

trying to outdo each other to provide affordable and 

enjoyable Championship Dinners. Without doubt all five 

were just that. 

Canteen 

The canteen really hummed this year. Lyn Francis, our 

volunteer coordinator, had considerably more support 

than for some time and thanks everyone for their time. 

The buying was split by product amongst the Griffins, the 

Chambers, the Winnings and the Haywards whilst our 

Honorary Treasurer, Cathy Lunsmann, kept an overall 

eye on the finances and controls and a much improved 

profit has reflected both her vigilance and the support of 

all. The canteen endeavours to provide good food and 

drinks at a reasonable price at the same time providing 

the club with another much needed source of income. 

The results this season were the best for some years. 

Club polo shirts were available this year and although 

providing very little profit were popular with the members. 


Learn to Sail 

The club continued its Learn to Sail programme for 8 to 

15 year olds with two courses and a total of 38 students 

during the September/October school holidays. 

Week one was led by Richard Griffin and week two by 

Jack Winning, although Jack unashamedly confesses 

allowing Karyn Gojnich to do most of the work. There 

was fantastic voluntary help from both the senior and the 

junior sailors in the club. 

Thank you to all those who gave their time voluntarily to 

give back to this fantastic sport a little of what they have 

got out of it and give others the opportunity to experience 

the pleasures. 

Twilight Sailing 

Friday evening sailing during daylight saving was enjoyed 

by those who participated although the weather was 

somewhat unfavourable prior to Christmas. Karen 

Gojnich facilitated a juniors’ mini-series primarily to assist 

Learn to Sail graduates improve their skills. Although the 

weather was most unkind, a reasonable number 

participated which helped make the transition to Saturday 

sailing a little bit easier. 

Socially it was a very civilised way to end the week and a 

regular crew enjoyed a barbecue on most occasions. 

Secondary Schools’ Sailing Championships (CHS) 

The family nature of your club is highlighted each year 

when the majority of families with secondary school aged 

children make the pilgrimage to Belmont. 

The parents mix and the children of all ages mix. It’s just 

like one big extended family. This year when the call was 

“fish and chips, who’s in for dinner”, 68 men, women and 

children all with connections to your club gathered at The 

Pines Camp for a very festive evening. 

The championship is often, but not always, an opportunity 

to sail something different and no-one much cares where 

they finish so long as they get to socialise. This year our 

only mention at the presentation was Andrew Chapman 

sailing with Emma Kerr from Coffs Harbour who finished 

second in their class. 152 boats competed in the regatta. 

Pick-Up Boats 

The club maintained its fleet of the Clyde and four 

aluminium runabouts. 

Crewed by Rob and 

Judy Winning the 

Clyde was there 

each week to lay 

marks and keep an 

eye on the senior 

fleets as was the 

George Eden, 

crewed on a more 

ad hoc basis, but 

with particular 

support from Alan 

Kenney and Bill 

Pendlebury. The 

crews in the club 

boats were particularly grateful for the support of Richard 

Griffin in his Webster Cat whose eye for detail didn’t let 

anyone slip outside the net. A sincere thank you Richard 

from all the sailors and officials for your support during 

the year and making yourself and your boat available for 

both patrol and pick-up work during the racing as well as 

for the various Flying Eleven training days, interclubs and 

even the Nationals in Brisbane. 


In the river attending to the juniors were the Steve 

Kiprioti and the other two tinnies. These were crewed 

by a number of willing parents including, but not only, 

Bob Paton, Robert Frohlich, Rolf Lunsmann, Ben 

Goodman, Chris Winston, David Lee, Phil Hartas, Joe 

Bujna, Paul Clune, and Andrew Glassock - who was seen 

on a number of days rowing a dinghy around following 

the silver fleet. 

New motors were purchased for the two smaller 

runabouts which gave them a new lease of life and we 

successfully trialled a set of Air-o-float stabilisers on one 

of these. These inflatable cushions not only give the boat 

stability when rescuing but give protection to the craft and 

crew being rescued. We have purchased an additional 

two sets for next season. 

We will also be trialling propeller guards next season. 

Race Officials 

We are all forever indebted to John Aston and Sue 

Cantor who are there week in, week out to start and finish 

our races. John and Sue calmly and efficiently perform 

their duties with an aura that sets the scene for an 

enjoyable afternoon on the water. They were assisted on 

a regular basis by Susan Chambers, Lyn Francis and 

Eric Cantor. 

Club Patron, Australian Female Sailor of the Year and 

more…. 

Your club this year successfully nominated Adrienne 

Cahalan for the honour of 2003 Australian Female Sailor 

of the Year. 

Adriennne started her sailing in Lasers at Lane Cove in 

her teens and shortly moved into 12s and then 18s. 

Adrienne has sailed in 13 Sydney to Hobart Races, a 

Kenwood Cup, 10 World 

Championships in 

dinghies and yachts, 

3 Admiral’s Cup 

campaigns, 3 Fastnets, 

and 8 Transatlantics. 

She has also been 

involved in 3 Whitbread- 

Volvo campaigns and 

several circumnavigation 

projects, including 2 

Jules Verne Round The 

World attempts, the first 

as navigator on board Royal & Sun Alliance's 1998 

record attempt when they were dismasted in the 

Southern Ocean. Adrienne currently holds five world 

sailing speed records, we believe only Steve Fossett 

holds more. 

She has recently completed her Master of Science in 

Applied Meteorology, specialising in the weather of the 

Southern Ocean. 

Since her award she has continued achieving. Adrienne 

was 2003 Admiral’s Cup winner for Australia as navigator 

on Aftershock, navigated Andrew Short Marine to fifth 

across the line and first of the Volvo 60s in the Sydney to 

Hobart race and most recently, as navigator on board 

Cheyenne slashed almost 6 days off the Round the 

World Sailing Record, the record now stands at 58 days 

9 hours 32 mins 45 secs. 

We are proud to have Adrienne as our club patron. 

Sydney to Hobart Win and more to Michael Spies 

Current Laser club champion, Michael Spies once again 

proved his versatility by stepping into First National Real 

Estate as skipper to win the Sydney to Hobart race. This 

sits nicely with his 1999 line honours as co-skipper of 

Nokia when he created a new race record time which still 

stands. 

Michael had barely finished the Hobart race when he was 

racing in 11 Metre One Designs on Pittwater. He firstly 

won the Australian Title and followed that with a win in 

the World Championship. 

All this and he rarely misses a race at Lane Cove. 

Congratulations Michael. 

As well as having sailed Sabots at Lane Cove, Michael 

spent a number of years campaigning 12s and we 

believe he will be making a comeback for the coming 

season 30 years after he was the youngest person ever 

to represent Australia in the Interdominion Championship. 

Karen Gojnich to Athens 

Karen along with Kristen Kosmala is crewing for Nicky 

Bethwaite in the Women’s Ynglings at this year’s Olympic 

Games in Athens. 


Karen started her sailing in Sabots and then Flying 

Elevens at Lane Cove as Karen Davis. Her memories of 

the club and the atmosphere that surrounded it inspired 

her to keep her membership current through the years of 

campaigning various classes and regattas including the 

Seoul Olympics where she sailed with Nicky Bethwaite to 

sixth position in the 470 class. 

Karen now has two daughters, Amy and Zoe, sailing 

Sabots at the club and has assisted with Learn to Sail 

and junior training. She is currently campaigning in 

Europe prior to the August Olympics where we are 

hopeful she will bring back gold. 

The club was proud to be able to make our facilities 

available for a very successful fundraising party just prior 

to their departure. 

Rock Fall 

Last year we reported that a major rock fall had occurred 

behind the Western Shed. Whilst most of the damage 

has been repaired and various reports commissioned by 

Council, there has as yet been no action to improve the 

safety of the area. We believe that Council will be taking 

action early in the new financial year and are hopeful that 

work will coincide with slipway upgrading. 

Slipway 

The club submitted an application for a grant to assist 

with a major upgrade to the slipway adjacent to the 

clubhouse under the State Government 2003 Sharing 

Sydney Harbour Access Program. 

Unfortunately our application was unsuccessful, however, 

we have addressed the concerns of the assessment 

team and have submitted a further application under the 

2004 program. 

If we are successful, work which involves a lot of 

voluntary labour will commence this off season. 

Maintenance 

The clubhouse roof, which had reached the age of 30, 

was badly in need of replacement. This was completed 

early in the season using zincalume insulated to R2 

rating. The ventilators were also replaced with industrial 

quality Alsynite ventilators. 

The roof on the western shed, being of similar age, is 

also in need of replacement. We are in the process of 

preparing an application for a grant under the NSW 

Department of Sport and Recreation’s Capital Assistance 

Program with a view to the work being done in the winter 

of 2005. 

The roof on the Woodford Bay shed is also badly in need 

of repair and work will be carried out this winter to replace 

a large section. We will also be attending to a lot of other 

maintenance issues at that shed, often overlooked at our 

regular working bees. 

During the 2003 winter we held a successful weekend 

working bee at which a large number of small but 

important maintenance issues were addressed. These 

included ongoing work on the slipway and general work 

at the clubhouse, the major time consuming job being the 

sanding back and varnishing of the south-facing windows 

and door frames. 

During the season a large portion of the western facing 

brick wall of the clubhouse was re-grouted. 

CLASS REPORTS 


It has been a very busy season for the 12s. Where to 

begin? 

The highlight this season was the number of boat 

registrations, 17 in all, a healthy increase on last year. 

It was not unusual to have a fleet of 15 starters, and 

indeed, given the competition available a number of 

visitors boosted the fleet on some Saturdays to 18. 

Our fleet of 17 boats at Lane Cove has a unique depth 

and quality. It is the largest of any club in Australia and 

New Zealand. This has been reflected in our results both 

at a club and representative level. Our excellent club 

handicap system has ensured that boats that are 

15 years old can still win the Pointscore. 


Murray Press and Ben Gemmell in What Next should be 

congratulated for winning the Club Championship without 

losing a race. Second place went to Nick Press and 

Michael “Wally” Bartley in Dimension Polyant and third 

to Exaqua sailed by Bill Oxby and Ian Goodman. Murray 

and Ben also won the Fastest Time Pointscore with Foxy 

Lady Too sailed by Peter Polec and Brad Greenrod 

second and Ming Fes sailed by myself and Glenn 

Farquhar third. 

The Handicap Pointscore came down to the last race 

between Havoc sailed by James Francis and Scott 

Hobson, Hood sailed by “Curly” Colless and Brad Phillips 

and Ming Fes. The gauntlet was clearly thrown down in 

the last 2 races with Havoc installing a new big rig and 

Curly donning a brand new jib. In the end Glenn and 

myself just reached home with enough points to win, with 

Hood second and Havoc third. 

Havoc - James Francis and Scott Hobson 

The Australian titles were held in Brisbane at Easter. 

23 boats contested the six heat regatta, 8 of which were 

from Lane Cove. The breeze started at 3 rd rig on day 1, 

went to 2 nd rig on day 2, big rig on day 3 and you would 

be forgiven for staying at the bar on day 4 as there was 

little breeze and 200 odd lasers on the water. All Lane 

Cove boats performed well. The highlights were Jack 

Winning and Brett Phillips in Vantage Real Estate who 

came second on handicap while Grumble and Grunt 

came third on handicap and succeeded in keeping their 

boat together. For me the high point was seeing Havoc 

leading the fleet in the final race, eventually finishing third 

to the winner by 30 seconds. Nice work guys. James 

and Scott also won the Junior title. Murray Press teamed 

up with son Nick in What Next and finished fifth overall 

to win the Veterans’ title. 

Lane Cove had six boats go to New Zealand this year to 

contest the Interdominions. They were Grumble and 

Grunt, Dimension Polyant (Aust), Billy Olsen and 

Jamie McCrudden in Space Junk, Exaqua, What Next 

and Ming Fes. It was fantastic to have so many boats on 

the team. Whilst I may be accused of heresy, sailing in 

Auckland proved almost as difficult as Lane Cove's 

courses. Whilst much is said about the Lane Cove 

sailors having local knowledge on the river, escaping the 

4 knot tide on Auckland Harbour was no different and as 

much an art-form. It was not unusual to hear a skipper 

ask a crew whether they could get closer to shore, only to 

hit the bottom a moment later. 

The Teams Trophy came down to the final day with New 

Zealand just beating Australia. The regatta was won 

overall by Signature Homes a New Zealand boat. Best 

placed Australian boat was defending champion and 

Queensland boat East Coast Piling and Drilling sailed 

by Paul O'Malley Jones and Randall Fitzsimon. Best 

placed Lane Cove boat was What Next being sixth 

overall and third Australian boat. 

The future for the 12 class at Lane Cove looks bright. If 

you were cynical, you would say that it is because there 

are limited alternatives. I believe that even if that were 

true, the fact that Lane Cove remains one of the few 

12 clubs, and indeed the strongest, is because racing at 

Lane Cove is always fun and can never be described as 

dull or boring. You need only join into the rig discussions 

on the wharf every Saturday to appreciate how lucky we 

are. 

The challenge for the Lane Cove 12s in the future will be 

accommodating more boats as keen sailors amongst our 

junior ranks look for an exciting boat to sail. What a great 

challenge to have. We do, however, need to ensure that 

we continue to foster a participatory and fun spirit that 

concentrates at the club level first. 

The 12s this season have received a lot of support from 

the club - for which I and the other 12 sailors are grateful. 

Thank you Sue and John for starting us each week, the 

committee for keeping the club running, Lyn Francis and 

the canteen workers for ensuring we are fed, the Club 

Captains and the OODs for making it work. 

One final note – I know of some excellent boats for sale, 

and skippers and crews available. If you are keen to get 

in, change or upgrade, please let me know and I will do 

what I can to help you. 

LASERS 

William Oxby – twelves@lc12ftssc.org.au 

The Laser class enjoyed strong competition with a fleet of 

35 boats. Our four new members made a positive 

contribution to the class throughout the year and we look 

forward to their return next season. 

Michael Spies is to be congratulated for his strong 

performance this season and for winning the Club 

Championship, the Fastest Time Pointscore and for 

nearly winning the Handicap Pointscore. Michael and 

James Stewart in Harvey were separated by the 

slimmest of margins before the last pointscore race of the 

season, and James was the victor by one point. 

Congratulations James, for your consistent effort 

throughout the season. 


Eastern Creek Karts - Michael Spies 

Warwick Thompson and James Stewart were amongst 

the few club representatives at regattas this season. 

Thankfully they acquitted themselves very well. As for 

the rest of us… we need to get out more! Regattas are a 

fantastic way of improving skills, and they do sound like 

fun – especially if Warwick’s stories are true! The Notice 

of Race for the 2005 Australian Championships at 

Belmont is on the Laser Association website now, and 

everyone is encouraged to attend (www.laser.asn.au). 

Harvey - James Stewart 

One of the emerging trends in our fleet over the past few 

seasons has been the increasing popularity of the Radial 

rig. The Radial uses a more flexible and slightly shorter 

lower mast, and has a sail area of 5.76m 2 , which is about 

18% smaller than the Standard rig (7.06m 2 ). The Radial 

is suited to crew weights of 55-70 kg, whereas the 

Standard is recommended for crews that are greater than 

60 kg (source: International Laser Class Association). A 

reasonable number of sailors in our fleet are discovering 

the benefits of the Radial compared with the Standard rig 

in respect of handling characteristics. Some sailors in the 

fleet use a Radial exclusively, whereas others alternate 

between rigs depending on the conditions. 

As you can see, the Radial increases sailing 

opportunities and enables a broad assortment of crews to 

sail together, which is evident in this year’s trophy results. 

Given the number of Radials on the water each week, 

should Radials be distinguished from the Standard rigs in 

the race results? One of the chief reasons to do this 

would be to attract other Lasers to our club, either as 

visitors or members. A bigger fleet means greater 

competition, particularly for the better sailors in the fleet 

(I’ll have to take their word for it!). The other reason 

would be to encourage our existing Radials within the 

fleet. Whatever the outcome, any changes for next 

season need to be simple for everyone to manage and 

administer. 

This leads into thanking all those tireless volunteers who 

make it possible for us to sail each weekend. To our 

wonderful starters and rescue boat crews, I would like to 

extend a warm word of thanks for your consistency, 

patience and friendship on and off the water. 

Many thanks to all sailors, friends and family who helped 

out at the Laser dinner. Your cooperation and 

experience was greatly appreciated, and contributed to 

the night’s success. 

Finally, on behalf of the Laser class, I would like to thank 

the other members of the committee for all their hard 

work this season. The time and energy donated by the 

committee to the running of the club is impressive. There 

are many ways that you can assist the committee and the 

club (off-season working bees, learn to sail, canteen duty, 

and club dinners to name a few), and your continued 

involvement next season would be greatly appreciated. 

CHERUBS 

Penny Oxby – lasers@lc12ftssc.org.au 

Cherubs re-emerged this season with a consistent 

showing at the club but never hit the magical six 

registrations to run a Club Championship, but nothing 

was going to dull the enthusiasm of this colourful fleet. 

Indeed it has been a successful year in that sailing was 

competitive and at least 2 new boats will boost the fleet in 

2004. The sailing was very upright this season despite it 

being the first in Cherubs for several of the combinations 

– perhaps to avoid the embarrassment of having 

swimming photos published! 

Two cherubs based at Balmain started sailing with us this 

season but the distance to the start and then to sail home 

proved a challenge. Poppy Moore and Tom Petty on 

Bad Habits regularly joined us and registered with Lane 

Cove. It was great to have them with us and boosted our 

competition. Adam Ross and his dad also occasionally 

made the trek but like a number of our sailors Adam had 

to juggle this with the demands of the HSC. 


Our all girl boats led the way and finished on top of all 

club events this season with the aged (experienced) and 

youthful combinations challenging strongly. Melanie 

Killoran and Kate Hayward teamed up on Screamin 

Seamen and won the double of Fastest Time and 

Handicap Pointscores and, but for a sixth boat the Club 

Championship (which would have made a neat trifecta). 

Felicity Killoran and Emma Press sailing Bird on a Wire, 

which transformed itself during the season to Creatures 

of Leisure followed up with seconds in the point scores 

closely followed by Ajax and the age and youth combo of 

Warwick and Matt Foy with thirds. 

Screamin Seamen - Melanie Killoran and Kate Hayward 

All these boats featured at the State Championships, 

HSC and Uni commitments intervening. While Lane 

Cove could not field a full team at all events, individual 

boats performed well with Ajax winning the December 

heat sailed from the Sydney Flying Squadron, and 

Screamin Seamen and Creatures each gaining a top 

10 placing in heats. All up, a good showing in a State 

fleet of over 25 boats. Sailing venues were well spread 

around this year including Georges River, Avalon, SFS 

and Belmont – must be time for a return of the fleet to the 

Upper Harbour (sans Humbug!). 

Toey also emerged from the shed initially with Angela 

Winning and Anna Paling and latterly with Will Chapman 

and Rolf Lunsmann. Angela will be returning next 

season to sail Toey with Mark Hayward and Rolf liked it 

so much he went and bought a boat which he will be 

sailing next season with daughter Fiona at the helm. 

2003 has seen the class re-emerge and 2004 promises 

to see us back up there with the fleet strength of several 

years back. Rolf has all winter to learn the art of rigging 

quickly, or maybe he is just training to be a skiff sailor 

making the dash straight from shore to start line. Rob 

Anderson and his son Ross have just taken possession 

of Smashing Pumpkins leaving a few winter months for 

Rob to refresh his sailing skills. 

The 42 nd Australian National Championships will be run in 

Sydney over the Christmas/New Year period and will be 

hosted by Georges River, who are well advanced with 

planning. This event will incorporate the 2004/05 World 

Title with boats from New Zealand and the UK invited. 


David Killoran – cherubs@lc12ftssc.org.au 

With one major outstanding performance exception, the 

past season could be best described as a recovery and 

consolidation season for our fleet. 

Recovery, used in reference to the seemingly huge 

exodus of well performed skippers and crews from the 

class at the end of last season and consolidation of the 

development of the crew combinations, both new and 

from the past year, that has emerged from the 

determination shown by the end of this season. 

Registration numbers were marginally up on the previous 

year at 14 boats with the new arrival teams being 

Matt Clune and James Armstrong, Evan Williams and 

James Watt, Lara Paton and Amy Goodman, 

Catherine Trew and Alex Bramley, Jay Griffin and 

Ross Woodthorpe Anderson, Ned Daven and 

Robbie Polec and the late arrival of Anna Paling and 

Amie Goodall. Owen Clarke, overseas for much of the 

season, teamed up with sister Mevagh. 

Some of the above combos didn't last the distance, with 

Evan gaining an outstanding "find" in Alex Paton and 

looking like a very strong team for 2004/05. The recent 

CHS Champs also revealed Matt giving Jonathan Tan a 

taste of F11s and hopefully we'll see another enthusiastic 

crew for next season. 

Regrettably, during the early shakedown period, Tom 

Phillips and Lachy Notley found other "callings" and 

7 Minutes … languished in the shed much of the season. 

From the beginning of 2003/04, the already well-drilled 

combination of Andrew and Alison Chapman was 

devastatingly faster than those in the other boats and 

when their new boat, River Rat, hit the water, it was 

obvious to most in our class that the siblings could 

achieve that interclub pinnacle not seen at Lane Cove 

F11s for 20 odd years. 

The situation of that early superiority gave the Chappos a 

great start to the season pointscores and it wasn't until 

much later, even into 2004, that handicaps became more 

settled and other trophy winners started to show through. 

The season started with lighter breezes for the Handicap 

assessment races and by the time the pointscores 

started, so did the normal stronger winds. This had the 

effect of showing the inexperience of the new ones, who 

had difficulty finishing and therefore unable to gain much 

handicap adjustment. 


In many of the races, there was very close competition 

between Up Front (Kelly Paling & Angus Stuart), JynX 

(Jay & Ross), A Little Tipsy (Allison Kenney & Rachel 

Massingham) and X-stream (Evan & Alex) with Playing 

Havoc (Josh & Oscar Tatham), Thoroughbred (Lara & 

Amy) and latterly Follow Me (Anna & Amie) snapping at 

their heels and we should expect good results from them 

next season. 

But the big result was the achievements of Andrew and 

Alison … 

State Champions for 2003/04! 

This really capped their other outstanding interclub 

performance of third in the Nationals held on Moreton 

Bay, Qld and these successes have been the result of 

dedicated and determined application to the goal of 

winning. They will have to go down in our club record 

books as being possibly one of the best performed F11 

representatives from our club. 

On top of all this, they have taken out the Club 

Championship, Fastest Time Pointscore and Handicap 

Pointscore. They've only got one more feather to 

achieve, the National Championship 2004/05 at 

Woollahra and they've given indication that's what they 

want! Our best wishes to them to go for it! 

Our other Lane Cove boats representing at the State and 

National Championships also held the club flag high and 

started the road to championship standard in the future. 

A lot of experience was gained by Allison Kenney, Jay, 

and Evan. Evan played a different game by sailing with a 

mate from Avalon at the States. They were joined at the 

Nationals by Lara and Amy, with Evan resuming his own 

boat and crew, X-stream and Alex! Unfortunately Ross, 

due to a short term injury, missed the Nationals in JynX 

and Jay had to "force" Robbie Polec to stand in for him. 

One other very pleasing club gain coming from 2003/04 

was the establishment of the Upper Harbour 

Championship as a single race event at Lane Cove. We, 

as a club, won't be able to "sit on our laurels" to keep this 

event in the future; others immediately saw how 

successful this inaugural year of the change was from its 

previous 4 race format and have already suggested it be 

held on a rotational basis and possibly take a "sprint" 

format. For 2004, the format stays as is. 

Let's hope that it will grow past the 50 entrant level this 

coming year to ensure it's locked in to Lane Cove for 

good! 

The F11s are extremely lucky to have such great support 

from the trophy donors and on the sailors’ behalf, we 

offer a very sincere thank you for your generosity. It 

would be a welcome event if, in the coming season, you 

were able to come down on the Saturday sailing days, 

particularly when they have raced for your trophy and join 

in the after-race presentation. 

We, and I include my own gratitude here, are also very 

grateful to John Aston and Sue Cantor, Eric Cantor, Lyn 

Francis and Sue Chambers for the starting and finishing 

work they perform and a special thanks to Bob and Judy 

Winning for laying marks and waiting in the Clyde for the 

last boats to arrive home every Saturday. THANK YOU! 

And lastly, there have been many non-F11-sailors who 

have been of great assistance to the class and the 

individual sailors - Trish & Alan Kenney, Alan Clarke, Bob 

Paton, Peter and Will Chapman, Claudette and Murray 

Williams, Rob Anderson, Ben Goodman, Ross Gardner 

and special thanks to Jo Clarke for the fantastic webwork, 

Rolf Lunsmann and his apprentice, Debbie 

Goodman, for all the pictorial features they've produced. 


A personal "thank you" from me to Andrew and Alison for 

the assistance they have given to adjust boat set-ups and 

offer one-on-one training and advice at various times 

throughout the 2003/04 season. 

Well done everyone and get ready, 2004/05 is nearly 

here! 

Good Sailing.

JUNIOR DIVISION (LEARN TO SAIL, SABOT CLASS 

AND MANLY JUNIOR CLASS) 

This has been another great season for the Juniors at 

Lane Cove. As a development division it is a continuing 

task to bring in new sailors, develop their skills, foster the 

enjoyment of sailing and encourage more experienced 

sailors to move on to senior classes to try new and 

exciting challenges. These activities are key to the long 

term health of the club and the sport and we are pleased 

to report that Lane Cove has done well in all these areas. 

The season started quietly as we watched some of last 

year’s Juniors take their first steps in a more senior class. 

It is here that the experience gained in the Junior Division 

shows as last year’s sailors have advanced quickly in 

new boats. Approximately 9 Juniors moved into Flying 

11s. 

For those joining the Junior Division or following on from 

last year there were new boats to get used to and new 

crew combinations needed to start the season. This year 

provided plenty of challenge as prior to Christmas we 

experienced a number of strong windy days. 

Registrations in the Junior Division classes were strong 

with 7 One-up Sabots, 5 Two-up Sabots and 5 Manly 

Juniors registered to sail. These boats compete in our 

overall Combined Classes Handicap Pointscore 

Competition and for donated trophies allocated to 

particular race days. The club also awards trophies and 

runs competitions in each class including a Club 

Championship where there are six or more boats 

registered and this year the Club Championship One-up 

Sabot competition was run and awarded. The year also 

saw the creation of a separate junior development group 

called the Silver Sabot Fleet which very successfully 

helped to graduate children from the Learn to Sail 

program into regular racing. 

Combined Classes Handicap Pointscore Competition 

The three classes in the Junior Division fleet all compete 

for the Gordon Gates Memorial Trophy using handicap 

pointscores. This year’s winner was Jeremy Johnson 

sailing one-up in the Sabot Slippery. Jeremy utilised the 

skills he built up last year to be a consistent and 

successful competitor throughout the year in the face of 

strong competition from all the Junior sailors with up to 

14 boats on the start line. Jeremy also won two Trophy 

Races and deservedly also won the Grover Family 

Trophy for the most improved Sabot sailor. 

Sabot Class 

The competition in the Club Championship One-up Sabot 

class was again exciting with two boats competing right 

down to the last race for the title. The winner was 

Danielle Bujna in Wipeout. Danielle only secured the 

win in the last race having started that race tied on points 

with Fiona Lunsmann in Unpredictable. The strength of 

the competition is indicated by the fact that three different 

boats won Club Championship heats. Danielle also won 

the One-up Sabot Fastest Time trophy. Close on 

Wipeout’s stern was Fiona Lunsmann in Unpredictable 

achieving second place. Fiona also won a Trophy Race 

in the Junior Division competition. Third was Claire 

Lunsmann racing in No Speed Limit, her first season 

sailing one-up. Claire also won a Trophy Race in the 

Junior Division competition showing how all these 

competitors kept up the pace in a great year’s 

competition. In Two-up Sabots Tim Stiff and Eleanor 

Winston in Temperamental won the Iron Ring Trophy 

Sabot Two-up Fastest Time Pointscore. 

Interclub competition and participation in other events is 

critical in skill development and a number of the club’s 

Sabot sailors represented Lane Cove in Sabot 

Association interclub racing. Claire and Fiona Lunsmann 

contested a very windy State Championship at Lake 

Macquarie in October. Claire along with Jeremy Johnson 

in Slippery raced the Zone Championships at BYRA and 

they, along with Alex Paton in Meteorite, sailed in the 

NSW Sabot Sprint Series at Abbotsford in February. 

www.lc12ftssc.org.au 12.

Alex was awarded a SNSW Zone Sabot Association 

Encouragement Award for her efforts in the Sprint Series. 

Manly Junior Class 

Every Manly Junior in the club was in the water at some 

time this year. In a second season of sailing Sophie 

Paling and Max Stuart in Unreal won the Manly Junior 

Fastest Time as well as a Trophy Race. The Beth and 

Ray Dawkins Trophy for the most improved Manly Junior 

was awarded to Jonathan Tan and Max Russo in Sea-U- 

Later who also won two Trophy Races. Other sailors in 

this year’s competition included last year’s Gordon Gates 

Memorial Trophy winner Alex Winston, sailing with James 

Phillips in Sylvester’s Revenge, and competing for the 

first time was Andrew Clune and Tom Baxter in 

Windspeed. 

Learn to Sail, Silver Sabot Fleet and Friday Night “All 

Comers” Twilight 

One of the highlights of this year was the successful 

transition of a group of junior members from novice Learn 

to Sail participants to accomplished sailors in the Silver 

Sabot Fleet. The club ran two, five day Learn to Sail 

courses in the September/October school holidays which 

allowed 38 children to be introduced to the sport of 

sailing. This programme is run entirely by club 

volunteers, both old and young, who are dedicated to 

helping children experience the thrills sailing has to offer. 

The Learn to Sail graduates needed some focussed 

coaching and a supportive environment to allow them to 

move to a level where they could confidently enjoy 

competing in the Junior Division. By Christmas these 

kids' boat handling skills had developed to the point 

where most of them could get around the regular Junior 

Course. To allow them to pit their skills on the “race 

track” a Silver Sabot Fleet Pointscore competition was 

held over the last 10 races of the season. The overall 

result went right down to the wire. Amy Gojnich and 

Melinda Smith in Panic snared a second place in the last 

race by one second giving them the overall series. 

Jacqueline Smith and Catriona Glassock in Oink! Oink!, 

who had been leading on points going into the final race, 

finished second overall with Tim Stiff and Eleanor 

Winston in Temperamental third.

Through the season there were 28 kids who took part in 

the post Learn to Sail and/or the Silver Sabot Fleet – Amy 

Gojnich, Melinda Smith, Catriona Glassock, Jacqueline 

Smith, Macca Paton, Billy Lusty, James Watt, Jakob 

Deklerk, Damien Giblin, Stephanie Giblin, Tyler Nutt, 

Louis Berger, William Frohlich, Scott Jeans, Peter 

Donnelly, Remy Leonard, Monique Bain, Jonathan Tan, 

Lachlan Frohlich, Daniel Farquhar, Tim Stiff, Eleanor 

Winston, Andrew Lee, Jean Mackay, Sophie Rosenthall, 

Oliver Hartas, Sianna Caddy and Ally Lusty. 


Thanks to all the parents who helped out in the tinnies 

and acted as slips catchers during the season. 

To give the Learn to Sail graduates another opportunity 

to get out on the water, and as a way of parents easing 

younger members of the family into sailing, Karyn 

Gojnich organised a series of five races spread either 

side of Christmas. Amy Gojnich, Zoe Gojnich, Louis 

Berger, Tyler Nutt, Oliver Hartas, Tim McGrath, Jack 

McGrath, Gael Glassock, James Glassock, Melinda 

Smith, Jacqueline Smith, William Frohlich and Lachlan 

Frohlich all took the opportunity to participate. It was a 

good way to finish the week – the kids really enjoyed 

competing for the Gold, Silver and Bronze medals that 

were on offer for the race winners. All Karyn needs to 

organise is better weather for next season – cold wet 

southerlies are banned on Twilight Fridays! 

Combined High Schools Regatta 

An exciting end to the junior sailing year is the Combined 

High Schools Regatta at Lake Macquarie which saw a 

number of our sailors competing, but often in another 

class – a testament to their skill development and future 

potential. Claire Lunsmann sailed in her Sabot No 

Speed Limit and finished fourth in a strong Sabot fleet. 

Jonathan Tan, Fiona Lunsmann, and Sophie Paling all 

moved into Flying 11s for this event. This year was 

blessed by glorious weather, excellent winds and great 

camaraderie at the Belmont Pines camping ground which 

became an unofficial Lane Cove outpost.
