It’s
been a while since the last Smooth Sailing newsletter. The reasons are many.
The bottom line is that between the pressures of work, a hectic Christmas
holiday and the start of a new year, there was little time for a Smooth Sailing
newsletter. We have managed to keep the web site up to date throughout though
so even if you don’t find a newsletter in your inbox there is no reason not to
see what’s happening on the site.
As
it happens there are plenty of things worth seeing on the Smooth Sailing web
site right at the moment including results from various regattas that took
place over the festive season, dramatic pictures of Skandia Wild Thing being
abandoned and subsequently losing her keel in the recent Sydney Hobart Race and
of course all the details of Shosholoza’s fantastic new sponsorship deal! There
are also Notices of Race for several regattas taking place in the new year and
of course the Classifieds for those of you looking to buy or sell a boat.
One
of the single biggest problems with putting this newsletter together is
gathering the information that goes in it. So if you have an event happening at
your club or for your particular class please feel free to drop us a line and
let us know about it. The more information we get the more we can publish and
the more useful Smooth Sailing becomes to everyone. Notices of Race, Results,
Regatta Reports, we want them all. The more people we are able to tell about
what’s going on in our sport the more likely we are to see attendance at
regattas and other events grow. And remember we are not only interested in
racing events, cruising news and information is more than welcome too!
For
2005 we aim to bring you at least one newsletter a week and will be keeping the
web site up to date throughout. We wish our readers all the best for 2005 and
trust that we will be seeing you on the water sooner rather than later!
Shosholoza's
R100 Million Sponsor
2004 SASSU
Intervarsity Regatta
SA IRC Class
Committee Changes
In the most exciting
development in sailing in South Africa since the South African America’s Cup Challenge was announced a year or so ago, the German Company T-Systems announced
that they have signed a R100
million Sponsorship Deal with the team.
This makes T-Systems the title sponsor of the South African America’s Cup
Challenge and ensures that the team will have all the resources that they
require in order to make the strongest possible challenge for the cup. It’s no
secret that the America’s Cup is no place for those with empty pockets. While
this deal still leaves our team some way behind the billionaire funded Alinghi
and Oracle teams it certainly makes them a lot better off than they were when
they took part in regattas in Marseilles and Valencia in 2004. It also ensures
a degree of security that will hopefully clear the minds of everyone involved
in the campaign and allow them to focus completely on getting designing and
building the best possible boat and getting the best results on the water. The
following press release was issued this afternoon, Tuesday 18 January,
announcing T-System’s sponsorship:
“T-Systems, the business customer brand of Deutsche Telekom, is “Official Chief
Sponsor” of the South African America’s Cup Team Shosholoza. The high-tech boat
Shosholoza will not only bear the T-Systems logo at the highest-profile
competition in international sailing from 2005 to 2007, but will also receive
extensive support from its chief sponsor in the areas of information and
communications technology and marketing. T-Systems’ R100 million investment in
South Africa over a period of three years in Team Shosholoza makes it one of
the largest international investment in a South African sports team and
certainly the biggest sponsorship in local sailing.
“We are extremely proud of
our decision to support the South African America’s Cup Team. We believe
Shosholoza is a true reflection of the values and characteristics of high-tech
sailing and what the T-Systems brand stands for. This investment is also clear
proof that South Africa is an important market for T-Systems and shows the
company’s long-term commitment to the country – we are here to make a
difference,” said Wolfgang Jakob, CEO of T-Systems South Africa.
Shosholoza –
ambitious newcomer to the America’s Cup
"This sponsorship
immediately jettisons us three steps forward in our campaign and represents a
huge boost for Team Shosholoza and the South African America's Cup Challenge
for 2007,” said Captain Salvatore Sarno, Managing Director for Team Shosholoza,
SA America’s Cup Challenge 2007.
He went on to say that being
part of a huge corporation like Deutsche Telekom through T-Systems
International will not only make the Team feel more important, but also more
secure in the knowledge that they are in good hands. “More importantly it means
the team can be more confident in achieving their dream of going to Valencia in
2007 and more confident that they will have a second new race yacht in 2006.”
The goal of the South
African team is to make it to the quarter finals. “After that point, anything’s
possible,” said Captain Sarno. He pointed out that the performance of the
Alinghi team of Switzerland at last year’s Cup demonstrated the possibility for
a newcomer to oust the favorites.
Team Shosholoza has already
signed up most of South Africa’s top yachtsmen including SA international
skipper Geoff Meek, SA Olympic sailor Ian Ainslie and top British yachtsman
Paul Standbridge as sailing manager as well as local championship title
holders. Crack local crews have interrupted promising careers and other top
South African sailors have flown in from around the world to join Team
Shosholoza.
A new race yacht will be
unveiled in late April in time for the next seven preliminary races in Europe
when Shosholoza will be competing against the seven other America’s Cup teams.
South Africa
– a land of new opportunities in sport and business
Mafika Mkwanazi,
President of the SA America's Cup Challenge for 2007 also welcomed the
T-Systems sponsorship. “In the 10 years since democracy all of us have forged a
togetherness and a union that we can be tremendously proud of. This refreshing
new spirit of co-operation and desire to become a truly great nation is
synonymous with all that Team Shosholoza stands for. I must complement
President Mbeki and his cabinet for making our country a land of new
opportunities in sport and in business."
He describes Team Shosholoza
as a proudly South African initiative that has already captured the imagination
of the world's media. “The team is fully representative of all South Africans,
our new yacht has been designed and is currently being built in South Africa
and now T-Systems, through their commitment to our campaign as a chief sponsor,
has confirmed their confidence in our democracy. It so perfectly illustrates
how we can generate jobs and much revenue for the country by working together on
all aspects of our America's Cup campaign.”
"When Team Shosholoza
competes against the best teams in the world in the next few years and at the
ultimate match in Valencia in 2007 she will be watched by a live television
audience of over a billion people, but more importantly T-Systems will be the
wind in her sails," said Mkwanazi.
High-tech sailing –
T-Systems’ main communications theme
With the sponsorship of the
Shosholoza team T-Systems is expanding its involvement in the field of
high-tech sailing, which is emblematic of T‑Systems’ positioning within
the market. Since 2004 the worldwide image campaign of this global IT and
communications service provider has been centered on competitive sailing.
“Sailing epitomizes a perfect interplay of strategy, tactics, perseverance,
flexibility, speed and mastery of state-of-the-art technologies – implemented
by a highly motivated and excellent team – all characteristics of the T-Systems
brand,” explains Jakob. “Through sailing as a communications theme we bring our
brand, our values, competencies and customers together.”
He went on to say, “In
high-tech sailing, the team is the key – it is the team that battles
unwaveringly to nose ahead of the competition no matter the challenge and in
this Team Shosholoza not only inspires motivation, their enthusiasm, passion
and commitment to each other appeals to audiences,” says Jakob.
Sponsorship
part of a three pillar strategy
The Shosholoza sponsorship
is one of the three pillars upon which
T‑Systems’ sponsoring strategy is built. As part of T-Systems’ ongoing
co-operation with the German Sailing Association (DSV), the company will be
sponsoring two teams from each of the 49er, Tornado, and women’s Yngling
Olympic boat classes through to the 2008 Olympics. The third pillar of the
strategy is to set up an exchange programme with Germany for up-and-coming
South African sailors in the near future.
“There is an ocean full of
possibilities on the horizon for Team Shosholoza. Not only do they carry the
hopes of a nation into the Cup Challenge as the very first African team to
compete, but they will also carry with them the support of every T-Systems’
employee across the globe who will depend on their courage and determination to
see them tenaciously strive for the best results possible. They have already
made history simply by entering, now we look forward to whatever exciting
prospects lie ahead,” concludes Jakob.”
Don Voysey sent us the following report on
the 2005 IRC KZN Champs that took place at the Zululand Yacht Club
from the 14th to the 16th of January:
“Zululand
Yacht Club (ZYC) hosted the 3rd annual IRC class Provincial
Championships from the 14th to the 16th of January
2005. The event was sailed both off and
inshore with the Richards Bay coast-line and harbour being the backdrop to the
event.
10
up to date IRC certified yachts entered the regatta and six races were sailed
in varying wind and sea conditions over the three days on the Olympic type
windward leeward course.
Two
races were sailed on the first day in 20 plus knots of North Eastly wind in
very trying sea conditions.
The
local Richards Bay boat Zeus a Fast
42 skippered by Don Voysey and his very slick crew were first over the finish
line in both races but was beaten out of first place on IRC handicap on
corrected time by the second finishing boat
Enzer Betelgeuse a Mountgay
30 skippered by Alex (boat from up country.)
Third place on corrected time went to the other up country Mountgay 30 African Fire skippered by Dave Millard.
The
day ended with a cocktail party and drinks sponsored by one of the main
sponsors JOTUN PAINTS.
We
awoke for day two with a strong South Westly
blowing (35 plus knots) and horrendous sea conditions with the owner of
the bridge boat and the rescue/mark laying boats not happy to go out to sea.
Dave Ruston (the race officer) consulted with the race
organizers and the Richard Bay Port authorities and quickly came up with a plan
to hold the races within the Richards Bay harbour and as it happened there were
no shipping movements until the late afternoon.
Three
races were sailed in very windy conditions but the bonus was flat waters. The
additional obstacles now came into play.
The skippers and crews had to negotiate sand banks, channel marker buoys
and other contestants while sailing in the narrow channel. A few of the boats (while pushing the
limits) “hit the putty” and blew
their chances of a good finish.
The
results of the days racing was Zeus
again getting line honors in all three races but Enzer Betelgeuse winning on the corrected time in two of the races
giving Zeus their only first place
on corrected time in the 5th race of the regatta, with African Fire hot on their heals with
one second and two thirds on corrected time.
The
big Saturday night party saw most of the skippers and crews having a few drinks
around the pub and telling the war stories of the days racing. Sponsored prizes
were awarded for various things like cleaning the bottom of the keels on the
sand banks (to name but a few.)
Sunday
saw a light to moderate South Westly wind blowing of between 10 to 15 knots
with a 2 m swell running with little or no chop. One race was held off shore
and the results for this was the same as previous days races, namely Zeus getting line honors but again
being beaten by Enzer Betelgeuse on
corrected time, with African Fire
third.
The
prize giving was held at 14h30 and sponsored snacks and drinks were supplied
and enjoyed by all.
The
race organizers decided to award the sponsored prices of electrical hand tools
and paint to the Race officer, the race secretary, the bridge boat skipper/
owner and the rescue boat skipper as every organized race needs these type of
willing and very helpful people to make the races happen for the “yachties”,
and they went through some trying times of Fridays racing off shore.
The
final positions on corrected time were as follows,
Class 1:
1st Enzer Betelgeuse Mountgay 30 Alex
Shoon LDYC
2nd Zeus Fast 42 Don
Voysey ZYC
3rd African Fire Mountgay
30 Dave Millard LDAC
4th Nemesis Fast 42 Peter
Van Breda ZYC
Class 2:
1st Money Penny L 34 Mike
Scorer ZYC
A
big thank you to the ZYC and all the sponsors who contributed to the event once
again being the big success that it was and to the race organizing team which

Colin Becker sent us the following report
on the sailing that took place at the 2004 SASSU Intervarsity Regatta. Clearly Becker was going to bed at bedtime this year as
there is no mention of the off the water activities for which this regatta is
so well known!
“The
annual Inter-Varsity regatta, SASSU, was held last week at Aeolians on the
Vaal. 78 students sailed, and with
managers and spectators added to that, the club was a hive of activity. Six University Yacht Clubs – Rhodes, RAU,
Stellenbosch, UKZN, Wits and UCT – were represented at this team racing
event. Three boats made up a team in
both Sprog and Laser classes.
After
the Round-Robin stage, UCT A and UKZN A were in with a chance in both
classes. But the KZN team failed to
make both finals after losing their best-of three-race semis, thus handing
overall victory to the Capetownians. There was still hot competition in the
finals, with UCT A beating Wits A in the Sprogs and RAU Lasers defeating UCT
A. In both Bronze medal races, UCT B
lost to UKZN A. The top Female Sprog
team was UCT Women.
Team-racing
is probably the most exciting form of sailing, especially to watch, and many
interesting battles were fought during the week. The current SA National champions and runners-up in both Laser
and Sprog classes (Paul Willcox, Graeme Willcox & Jof Heathcote) were on
the water, indicating the quality of the fleet.
Being
a student regatta, the atmosphere off the water was just as lively. Fortunately, Aeolians was able to provide us
with all we wanted - fun off the water as well as quality racing. Rob Willcox and Rob M’Crystal must be
thanked for this. Wits Yacht Club is to
be congratulated for organizing all the components of a memorable regatta that
went very smoothly.
Student
sailing has been in need of a new double-handed dinghy for some time now. Finally the bar talk has become more serious
and a few possible replacements for the Sprogs are being considered. Roy Dunster and two Rebels made a generous
mid-week visit. The boats were sailed
by everyone that wanted to see just how simple they are to sail, between
races. Hopefully by next year’s SASSU a
long-term solution, that can benefit our clubs throughout the year, is
implemented.”
The
Results were as follows:
1st UCT A
2nd Wits A
3rd UKZN A
4th UCT B
1st RAU
2nd UCT A
3rd UKZN A
4th UCT B

After three years as the chairman of the South African IRC Class Association, Chris Frost has passed on the
Chairmanship to Don Voysey of Zululand Yacht Club. Don is well known in local
IRC circles, and is a passionate supporter of the system, having campaigned his
Fast 42 “Zeus” around the country participating in major IRC events. Don is a
prominent Zululand businessman and an acknowledged leader and
organiser. He has been Chairman of the Inhaca Race organising
committee and has spent three years as the Sailing Commodore of the Zululand
Yacht Club and now sits on the KZN Sailing offshore committee. Chris will not
be lost to IRC, as he will continue to represent South Africa at international
level in his capacity as Vice President of the International IRC Congress. In
the last few months, concerted efforts have been made to drive IRC to grass
roots club level. In this regard regional representatives and local club
measurers have been appointed countrywide. The responsibility of
the regional representatives is to arrange annual Provincial Championships in
their areas and to generally act as a conduit of IRC opinion to further enhance
the formulation of a cohesive and integrated national policy. We thank Chris
for his contribution, which during his period in office has seen; the
number of IRC boats double in numbers, the system extended nationwide, the
introduction of National and Provincial Championships, the lowest IRC
certification costs in the world, and the country becoming a world leader in
terms of measurement integrity.

The following is a précis of IRC Rule Changes which will take effect from January 1st
2005 (July 1st 2005 in Australia & South Africa):
”Changes to IRC Rules for 2005 are
generally very limited in practical effect and are related to tidying and
incorporating changes to for example ISAF Equipment Rules Of Sailing (ERS). Two
changes however, the deletion of RRS 52, Manual Power, and the change to the
definitions of headsails and spinnakers in Rule 26.3.4 are of potentially
greater significance. Changes of substance are marked with a vertical bar in
the left margin of the Rule text.
- The change to Rule 2.7, explicitly permits a Rule Authority to require that
boats under its jurisdiction shall be officially measured. New Rule 9.10
requires boats predominantly racing in a country to be rated through that Rule
Authority.
- The change to Rule 8.4.3 reflects an amendment in ERS to the definition of
mainsails and headsails thus obviating the need for the previous IRC amendment
to ERS.
- Rule 12.2 now defines more precisely how corrected times are to be rounded.
- Reflecting the increasing number of boats fitted as standard with powered
deck and other gear, Rule 14.1 now entirely deletes RRS 52, Manual Power, as
opposed to the previous amendment permitting only large boats to use stored
power for the adjustment and operation of sails and movable appendages. This Rule
may however be amended by Notice of Race.
- Rule 26.3.4, which was predicted by IRC Notice #1 of 2004, changes the
definitions of spinnakers and headsails for the reasons stated in Notice #1. In
practical terms, the real effects of this will be generally slight.
- In response to mainsails with large roach above the three quarter width
point, new Rule 26.5.5, and the accompanying new definition of mainsail seven
eighth width, requires that the dimensions of such sails be declared.
- In response to the development of "kites", new rule 26.1.5 (f)
requires that sails shall be set in close proximity to the yacht.
In addition to the above, a review of how the words 'use' and 'carry' are used
throughout the IRC Rules has resulted in a some detail changes to wording in
Rules 26.1.5 (c) and 26.3.8. These changes, which are not marked, will have no
practical effect.
IRC users are advised that in addition to the above changes to the IRC Rule
text, research during 2004 will lead to potentially significant changes in 2005
ratings to larger boats fitted with moveable and/or variable ballast (ie
canting keels and/or water ballast). Additionally a review of the performance
of boats fitted with bowsprits or carrying no spinnaker pole at all, is likely
to lead to changes in the ratings of these boats, again particularly larger
boats. Other changes are likely to be of much less significance.
2005 ratings will not be available until January 2005. Owners of potentially
affected boats are thus advised to contact Sailing KZN in early 2005.
Please note that 2005 trials cannot run until the boat holds a valid 2005 IRC
certificate.”
The Mossel
Bay Race Committee is pleased to announce that generous sponsorship for the 50th
anniversary race to Mossel Bay has been obtained from, amongst others, Mossel
Bay Tourism, the Protea Hotel Mossel Bay, Vodacom and the Café Gannet
Restaurant. The invaluable assistance of these sponsors will make this race one
of the best in years! Already Spilhaus (Ted Kuttel) and Freedom (Dr C.P. Van der
Merwe) have entered with expressions of interest coming from many others,
including Thunderchild (Rhett Goldswain), Al (Johan Van Rooyen), Jika (Dale
Kushner), Picasso (Ray Alexander) and Wizard (Andrew Louw). A fantastic program
of events has been arranged including the Vodacom Prizegiving Beach Party,
t-shirts for competitors, reduced accommodation rates, holiday prizes and free
bus transport to Cape Town after the race for those not able to return with
their boats. Entries will have to be limited in view of the limited mooring
facilities in Mossel Bay and you are urged please to enter sooner rather than
late to avoid disappointment. For more details contact Dee Siebert at Royal
Cape Yacht Club Tel: 021-4211354 E-Mail : info@rcyc.co.za.
MACS Shipping will once again be sponsoring the
Inhaca Island Easter Race from Inhaca to Mozambique. The MACS
Inhaca Race 2005 will start on Easter Friday, the 25th of
March, off the north end of Inhaca Island. The races will finish in Richard’s
Bay with most yachts expected to be home within 36 hours, weather dependent of
course. As always this race offers an excellent opportunity to spend a week or
more sunbathing on the island paradise of Inhaca before getting back into race
mode for the race to Richard’s Bay. This year it also offers the first chance
for crews with their eye on the Mauritius Race to get some sea miles under
their keels. Both the delivery trip and the race itself offer some valuable
opportunities to test boats and crews. There are plenty of both who need it!
The Notice of Race will be posted on the Smooth Sailing web site as soon as it
is released.
Several young South African sailors will be
competing in the Dubai Junior Regatta that takes place
next week. All will be sailing in the Laser 4.7 class, which seems to be
enjoying growing popularity in South Africa and abroad. For some of the sailors
taking part this will be either their first international regatta while for
others it will merely be their first international regatta in the Laser 4.7.
There is quite a lot of experience in the team with four of the sailors having
attended last years Laser 4.7 Worlds in Italy. Justin Onvlee won that world
championship and is also the defending champion at this year’s Dubai Junior
Regatta. All eyes will be on him to see if he can repeat this performance at
this year’s event. This looks to be a regatta that is growing in popularity
with a long entry list of competitors from around the world in both the Laser
4.7 and Optimist classes. The SA sailors competing in the Laser 4.7 class are
as follows:
Aaron Larkens
David Leigh
Justin Onvlee
Michael Bisset
Stuart Purchase
Rudy McNeil
Sam Hancock
Sean Heydenrych
The regatta runs from the 23rd to the 30th of
January and you can follow the progress on the excellent event web site at www.dimc-uae.com.
Our Notices of Race page on the Smooth Sailing has all the NOR’s available to us. If you
have a regatta coming up and would like to make the NOR available online then
e-mail it to hethcot@iafrica.com and it will be posted and
