90 MILE BEACH LOCHSPORT VICTORIA

The inaugural coaching regatta conducted by the Loch Sport Boat Club was probably the only one conducted outside the metropolitan area.

The idea of the regatta was for young sailors from Gippsland to get together have fun, enjoy them selves and increase their sailing skills in a competitive environment.

Starting with two days of coaching, then the Regatta Invitation Race on Friday afternoon 9th January, followed by three heats on Saturday 10th, and a social evening for competitors and their families at the clubrooms.  The final heat was sailed on Sunday morning, with a BBQ lunch then presentations followed.

A great gathering of members and friends to watch the cup at the clubrooms.

Several sweeps to share the loot around and crazy hats kept everyone involved.

Here are some of the stayers willing to be photographed.

After much searching the committee has purchased a new rescue boat from JV Marine.  The silver boat is a Silver Marine Captain 480B rib inflatable boat on a trailer with a 60hp Yamaha outboard capable of following the fleet of yachts. 

The red archilles rescue boat has been repaired and will still be used as a backup.

The AGM was held on Sunday 10th June,
