Royal Melbourne Yacht Squadron
Pier Road, St Kilda
Victoria, Australia, 3182

Postal: PO Box 2001, St Kilda West
Victoria, Australia, 3182

Royal Melbourne Yacht Squadron is delighted to hav Royal Melbourne Yacht Squadron is delighted to have been selected as the prime refit location for Australia’s first nuclear submarines. “Refitting submarines in Melbourne and in close proximity to the CBD is akin to the Chinese tactic of using the ocean to hide their submarines” said head of submarine refit flexibility Vice-Admiral Joseph (Joe) Carr. There are some huge employment opportunities that will be available with the submarine refit work occurring in St Kilda, chief amongst these will be washing the submarines down with fresh water after they’ve been in salt water for a number of years to stop them rusting and clearing barnacles from the hull to make it smooth. RMYS GM Richard suggests this might be a good school holiday job for local teenagers. Security around the site will naturally be beefed up whenever a submarine is out of the water and the use of drug and explosive sniffing beagles as often seen in airports around the world will become the front line of deterrent in Catani Gardens. As part of the contract, the RAN has asked RMYS to utilise our experience in race management to host the inaugural United Submarine Underwater Championship Racing Regatta (USUCRR) commencing on 29 February 2035.

Winning skipper of the Jennifer Goldsmith Trophy f Winning skipper of the Jennifer Goldsmith Trophy for lady skippers was Phoebe Pearce on Ryujin (1570) from RMYS. It was a great day on the water & afterwards in the club, with 19 boats competing. RMYS & the competitors thank the Goldsmith family for their generous long time sponsorship of this race in honour of their family member Jennifer, who was the first female recipient of the RMYS ‘club member of the year’. Entry fees are donated to the Cancer Council. Phoebe & her Ryujin crew also won line honours, placed 2nd on ORC & 3rd on AMS. Pictured crew member Michelle Davey apparently cleaned the hull in her wetsuit the morning of the race. As Phoebe joked ‘she’s a keeper!’. Don’t tell my skipper, he’ll get ideas! PHS 1st.

This week, each day, we're showcasing RMYS boats c This week, each day, we're showcasing RMYS boats currently competing in @ORCV_racing Melbourne to Hobart Westcoaster Race. @christchurchclarke interviewed skippers ahead of the race. We wish you and them a happy and safe New Years' Eve, whether you're celebrating on land or sea. Here's our interview with Weekend Option skipper Michael Culhane! How long have you been sailing? I’ve been sailing since 1988. I did my first ocean race in 1991 on "Cut Loose". I have been a member of RMYS since 2005. What is your favourite thing about Offshore Racing? The team had a bit to say on this-- most agreed it was the challenge and the sense of adventure. There's nothing else like the wildness of being out in the ocean and being ready to deal with whatever comes your way. What are your goals for this year’s race? Our goals are to, firstly, keep everyone safe, enjoy each other's company, work as a team, and win. The team is hoping the weather will allow them to arrive before New Year’s Eve, but their first port of call either way will be to grab a well-earned drink. They plan to cruise back up the east coast but, depending on the weather, may join the flotilla heading back up the west.
This week, each day, we're showcasing RMYS boats c This week, each day, we're showcasing RMYS boats currently competing in @ORCV_racing Melbourne to Hobart Westcoaster Race. @christchurchclarke interviewed skippers ahead of the race. Here's our interview with Vagabond skipper Andrew McConchie! How long have you been sailing? Since age 5, so 50 years. I’ve been a member of RMYS for about 40 years now, minus 15 living interstate. I have only done one Melb to Hobart, but many other offshore races, e.g. Melb to Stanely x 2, Melb to KI x3, Melb to Apollo Bay x 3, Launceston to Hobart x 1, Sydney to Coffs Harbor x 3, deliveries from Sydney to Melb... and that's just me. The crew has been with me for most of the seven years I have owned Vagabond, and many of them have completed M to H and other ocean racing on other boats. What is your favourite thing about Offshore Racing? Proximity to nature for long periods - a bit like adventure camping! Also, enjoy the team spirit and attitude that it's all a team effort. What are your goals for this year’s race? Arrive safely. Get to Storm Bay before dark to avoid the overnight drifting. After completing the race, Vagabond will Stay for NYE, swap out most of the crew and deliver back at a leisurely pace, back up the West coast of Tas.
