Address: 28 Turriell Bay Road, Lilli Pilli
Course Instructions:
The start time is 12 noon in the summer (Daylight Saving) and 11:00am in Winter (EST)
The course consists of two triangles and a sausage.
The start/finish line is formed by the moorings of CENTRIC Shaya Moya and Possible Dream - directly in front of the
Broadwater Yacht Club.
The second mark (Trim mark) will be laid to the west in the vicinity of Farnell Bight.
The third mark is the blue police mooring near the baths off Lilli Pilli point.
From the start sail west to the Trim mark and round to port, then sail to the Police mark and
round to port then sail north to Possible Dreams mooring mark rounding to port this completes the first triangle.
Then complete a second triangle.
The last leg is sailed from Possible Dreams mooring to the Trim mark rounding to port and then
directly to finish between possible Dream and CENTRIC Shaya Moya's mooring crossing from west to east.
The Port Hacking Open Sailing Club (Yowie Bay) has a Sunday race that starts at 1:30pm and mainly involves small
dinghies. If you encounter any of these boats be courteous and stay well clear.
Bad Weather
In the event of bad weather, we may delay the start until we are happy with the conditions.
If the weather forecast is unsuitable the day before the scheduled race, a notice will be posted on the web
along with alternative plans.
Shortened course
The race will be limited to 1.5 hours from the scheduled start. If the first boat hasn't finished by this time
the finish will be taken at the next mark.
Berthing after the race
Berthing will be arranged after the race. Do not rush in, wait till you have been allocated a berth.
This way we can accommodate the maximum number of yachts.
Entry ConditionsAfter Race - Picnic Party.
Each
vessel is required to submit a bottle of wine ($10 - $20 value) upon arrival at the BBQ. These will then be
presented as prizes when the last crew arrives.
These bottles of red should be consumed at the BYC or left behind on departure for the remaining crews; the idea is
to promote social gathering rather than win prizes.
DO NOT JUST START RAFTING UP ON WHATEVER BOAT IS ON THE PONTOON.
There are a number of moorings that are often spare in Turriell Bay, and we will have a tender to help
those on moorings come ashore.
For those not familiar with the bay, it is a 60 foot sandy bottom,
so anchoring may be difficult.
Please note: the three moorings in front of the BYC will
usually be occupied by Possible Dream, Marritti, Reflections III, so do not claim one of them if these
boats are still sailing.
As the last three vessels will not win back a bottle
(because 1st place gets three bottles 2nd place gets two) the crew are encouraged
to get their glasses ‘topped up’ by the higher placed boats if they happen to run dry.
Bring your own food and drinks.
A BBQ is available, but there are limited chairs and tables, so we recommend food that
can be eaten by hand (such as sausage sandwiches or kebab on a roll).
Access is available by road. The address is the corner of Turriell Bay Road and Wareemba Place Lilli Pilli. Park your car and walk
around the house on the water side and you will find an inclinator that will take you to the waterfront.
Please clean up after yourself when you depart, and remove your own rubbish.
Some condiments, plates, knives forks will be provided.
