Geraldton Ocean Classic Race Program, October 2015
South of Perth Yacht Club Commodore’s Welcome
It’s October, the whale herds are traveling to their breeding grounds and WA’s
Ocean Racing fraternity again turns it’s eyes and its boats North.
The 47th edition of the Fremantle to Geraldton Race represents the continuation of one of this state’s finest yachting traditions and it is one of which SoPYC
is proud to be an integral part.
The vessels that will leave the start line on Friday bare scant resemblance to
those that completed the journey nearly half a century ago. Carbon fibre, Mylar
and high end electronics have replaced timber, varnish and celestial navigation.
And yet, for all this, blue water sailing is still yachting at its most raw and most
challenging. Once at sea, especially on our lee shore coast line, there are few
if any places to run in the event of misadventure or tough conditions. This is
not the pastime of the faint hearted.
It’s been said many times that there is a certain swagger that goes with being a “Gero” veteran. And so there
should be. To take on the Indian Ocean as well as the fleet is no small undertaking. Preparation of boat and crew
needs to be meticulous and uncompromising. Maintaining the competitive edge when you’re wet, cold and tired
takes a special kind of readiness as well as confidence in your craft and your companions. I know that no one
takes on this race lightly, and this year’s crews will be no different.
As ever, the event would be impossible without sponsors and volunteers. We are particularly grateful to Abbots
Accountants and of course the City of Greater Geraldton for their on-going support of the event. And for those of
us who count ourselves amongst the armchair ocean racers, our special thanks to Panataenius whose generosity
has allowed us to again deploy the trackers that let us follow the progress of the fleet in real time from the comfort
of the bar!
Indeed, to all our many sponsors, the army of volunteers on-water and onshore and to the entire race organisation,
a heartfelt thank you for the enormous effort that staging this incredible race requires.
Finally, to the crews that will venture out on Friday to follow the rhumb line to Geraldton: good luck, fair winds and
following seas. I look forward to welcoming you all safely home and to hearing the latest edition of “When I did
Gero …” stories.

Geraldton Yacht Club Commodore’s Welcome
Once again The Geraldton Yacht Club welcomes all contestants and supporters
of the 47th running of the Geraldton Ocean Classic.
Weather conditions along the coast are beginning to settle into the normal
summer sailing pattern and this all goes well for a good race north to Geraldton
and hopefully, not too strong for the return leg south.
The City of Greater Geraldton has again provided sponsorship for the race
and that sponsorship will enable participating yachts to be moored in the
Department of Transport pens within the Batavia Coast Marina. I look forward
to having the race participants and families taking the opportunity to stay the
week in Geraldton and enjoy the activities that have been arranged, both on
and off the water.
I take this opportunity to thank all of the organising staff and the host of
volunteers at both the South of Perth Yacht Club and the Geraldton Yacht Club for their efforts in support of this
annual Blue Water Classic.
I wish all competitors a safe and successful race to Geraldton, I look forward to your participation in the Lobster
Pot Series, your participation in social activities whilst in Geraldton and I wish you a safe and successful Return
race to Fremantle.
Laurie Hatch
Commodore.

Chris Higham bought this boat from Craig Carter in
June 2014 and renamed it ARGO to maintain Chris’s
yachting connections dating back to his Tasker 34
called Helios. ARGO certainly has race form in winning the 2013/14 Siska Trophy (as Hoodoo Man) and
Chris planned to start its 2014 campaign with the
46th Geraldton Ocean Classic, but the yacht required
some strengthening after a gruelling 2013/14 campaign and Chris put it in the shed for a few months
and sailed his Dufour 34E Numbers Game in the 2014
Geraldton instead. ARGO finally made it out for the
end of the 2014 season for the Cape Vlamingh Race
and used the Valmadre as a shake down series for
the 2015 Season. Argo has been steadily finding form
with the 1st two races of the season delivering a 2nd
and a 3rd on IRC so far. With Peter Vlaar bringing his
vast ocean racing experience to the team for 2015/16
season while Farrago waits on a new mast, ARGO
is capable of rating highly in this race as they pursue
their quest of the Golden Fleece.
Alan Stein and his crew campaigned Dirty Deeds last
season extremely hard and will again this season.
They featured constantly in nearly every race, however
this season they would prefer to win rather than 2nd or
3rd. Previous navigator, Adam Shand, is not fit enough
following breaking his leg ice sakating during the winter
months.
This GP42 came 3rd on IRC in the October 2014 Fremantle to Geraldton Race and was also a runner up in
last season’s Blue Water Series, both on IRC and YAH.
However, they managed to win both YAH and IRC in
the Beneteau Weekend Series but only managed a 3rd
on YAH and IRC in the Beneteau Offshore Series. A
strong contender for the Siska Trophy this season.

Enterprise competed vigorously in last year’s Spring
Series but due to owner Anthony Kirke’s work committments sailed in fewer races in the Summer Series.
They still managed 3rd on IRC in the Onesail Blue
Water Series. Nevertheless, they are back with vengeance this season.
The grand old lady of the sea is the oldest yacht in this
Year’s Geraldton Race. Finistere has competed in
more Geraldton races than the entire fleet put together.
In the October 2014 race, Enterprise got 2nd on YAH
and 3rd on IRC in the return race from Geraldton.

Owner Rob Thomas has comandeered a number of
Mike Giles crew from Endorfin as Endorfin has sustained considerable damage in this year’s Wonderful
Indonesia Bali race when they encountered several
cray pots which tangled themselves around the keel
and rudder. Here’s hoping the “Jinx” of cray pots with
the Endorfin crew will not jeopardise Finistere’s quest
to Geraldton.

Craig Carter and his crew will be competing in their first
Geraldton in this magnificent yacht. They have done
the race before in Craig’s previous yacht Hoodoo Man.
This dynamic duo of Todd Giraudo and David (Dubbo)
White are such a formidable pair in two handed racing
that they are fast becoming unbeatable.
Following the Geraldton Race, Indian will be trucked
by Dave McReady to Sydney for this year’s Sydney to
Hobart and we wish Craig and his crew a fast and safe
race.
The are the only Double Haned yacht in the race and
will be sailing in Division Two.
In March last year, Hoodoo Man scooped the pool by
winning both YAH and IRC overall.
In the Onesails Blue Water Series last season, Todd
and Dubbo won both YAH and IRC in the Double
Handed Division.

Formerly Calm, this beautiful TP52 was bought from
the late Tony and his wife Astrid Mitchell by Peter
Hickson, owner of Mulberry Estate. Astrid allowed the
crew to campaign Calm last season following Tony’s
death and it paid dividends as Calm, under the helm
of Andrew Harry, won the coveted Siska Trophy.
This will be Graeme Cole and this Archambault A35
Phantom’s first Geraldton Race representing East
Fremantle Yacht Club. It has been a few years since
this club has been represented. Years ago, Luke
Rees competed in many Geraldton Races in his yacht
Stormrider and was very successful so we are sure
Graeme and his eager crew will be aiming high in this
year’s race despite being the smallest yacht in the
race.

In the March 2014 Geraldton Return, Peter’s previous
boat, MEII, sustained some structural damage and returned to Geraldton for repairs. In the October Return
Race of the same year, they won both YAH and IRC.
We wish Peter and his crew fair winds and a fantastically quick race to Hobart.

on the Return Race. They then went on to compete
in the Wonderful Indonesia Race to Bali in May and
achieved a third place on handicap.
The much travelled Sue Sea has finally returned to
her home port of Fremantle following this year’s Wondeful Indonesia Bali Race in May.
Max and his crew are extremely enthusiastic and are
highly competitive.
The yacht made its way back to Darwin to compete in
this year’s Darwin to Ambon Race in which they came
3rd on Handicap.
In last year October Geraldton Race, Sue Sea won
YAH on the Fremantle to Geraldton Race.

Wasabi was another casualty iin this year’s Wonderful Indonesia Bali Race and had to retire in Exmouth
when there water tanks sprung a leak. This was sad
as they were featuring very well on handicap.
Owners Paul and Ceris Arns will once again campaign
the Elan 410 Wasabi hard this season and have an
excellent well balanced crew.
The yachts competing in the Geraldton
Ocean Classic will be fitted with Yellow Brick
Trackers. Yellow Brick trackers are a rugged
and fully self-contained battery operated
tracker which works anywhere on Earth.
The tracker will wake up every so often (e.g.
every 15 minutes), obtain a position using
the GPS satellite network, and then transmit
that position back to Yellowbrick HQ using
the Iridium satellite network in seconds. The
message is relayed to us from Iridium, after
which we will be able to visualize the positions
on an easy-to-use web-based viewer.
On the race viewer, visitors to the site will be
able to view a display of waypoints, markers
and rhumb line, historic tracks as well as
the current location of the yachts, replay,
display of speed and course for each yacht,
skipper name and yacht name for each vessel
plus the weather information provided via
PredictWind.
The race viewer will be accessible for the
duration of the races north and return on the
Club’s website at www.sopyc.com.au and is
also available to view on smart phones via the
App Store. The internet based viewer uses
Adobe Flash and will require visitors to the
site to have flash installed before it will work. Visitors to the site who do not have flash will be
prompted to install it on first visit.
The Yellow Brick Yacht trackers are provided
courtesy of sponsorship by Pantaenius Yacht
Insurance.

VHF REPEATER
STATIONS
All crews are advised that there are VHF Repeater
Stations established at Jurien on Mt Lesurier. and
at Lancelin at Nilgen Mt Lesueur is operated by
the Jurien Volunteer Sea Rescue Group on Channel 21. Nilgen is on Channel 22.
JVSRG say that results to date indicate that the
Jurien relay has at times made contact with vessels as far away as Two Rocks to the south and
Dongara in the north.
Channel 21 and 22 are not a registered Geraldton
race frequencies, but if satisfactory communications on race channels are not available, might be
useful alternatives.

FROM WEDGE TO WILUNA TO WHERE NEXT
(Feature article by Bernie Kaaks)
Argo’s skipper Chris Higham and his business partner Bradley Abbott would remember that during their (very
much) younger days, their respective fathers, Ian (Biggles) Higham and John Abbott, were regular members of the
legendary “Tender One” crew, joining radio guru Bryan Carter in providing radio relay for the Geraldton Race from
Rottnest Island, while Ted Court and John Wilson operated “Tender Four” from Wedge Island. It was a primitive
system, given that there were no mobile phones at the time and with a paucity of land lines at relay locations,
position reports were often relayed from station to station and ultimately to race control at South of Perth, where
positions were meticulously plotted onto paper charts.
Moving to 4146kHz extended the range of HF radio signals during the race and made it possible to move the midrace relay point initially to Cervantes and later to Jurien – the beginning of a partnership with Jurien Volunteer Sea
Rescue Group that continues to today.
Category 2 radio position reporting took some new turns during the 2014/15 season. Geraldton Race communications
were conducted through Barrett’s privately owned transmitter in Henderson via a computer link at the Club, while
Fremantle Sailing Club’s Bali Race used the existing professional radio network at Wiluna. Wiluna’s transmitter,
sited well away from the electrical interference of wi-fi installations, transformers, air conditioners, freezers and so
on, gave much better range and signal quality.
A third change was a recognition by Royal Perth Yacht Club of a previously little known rule that allows category 2
events following a coastline to use VHF communications instead of HF, providing that there are continuous shore
based VHF communications along the full length of the course. The Albany and return races used this clause
and sent a radio equipped vehicle to shadow the fleet as it moved along the coast. The downside of VHF only
communications is that the shore based repeaters each operate on different channels, so as the race progressed,
position reports had to be staggered to tie in to the nearest repeater station’s area of operation. This option is not
available to the Geraldton race as gaps in VHF coverage still exist between Fremantle and Geraldton.
Discontent with the racing rules’ adherence to HF radio for long races continues. HF radios are expensive and if
not properly installed, can be frustratingly ineffective. On the other hand, a call made on HF radio can (in theory at
least) be heard by every yacht in the race fleet and many shore stations as well – a valuable safety feature.
Satphones have been used as an alternative to HF in a limited number of races. Experience has shown however,
that satphones also suffer from a degree of unreliability. Whether that is due to operator error, poor installation or
systemic failure is still not clear, but even with a perfect satphone, a yacht can only contact one other station at a
time instead of sending a message that all fellow competitors can hear. There are obvious safety implications here.
Satellite trackers on each boat have to a large extent negated the need for position reports. Race control personnel can
happily sit in a comfortable office and monitor the progress of every competitor on a computer screen in real time. There
have been instances where race control have been aware of a problem before a call for assistance has been made.
It is also worth looking at the direction that communications are taking in big ticket events like the Volvo around the
world race, where yachts are fitted with a satellite based communication installation to enable it to not only send
voice and text messages, but also to stream video back to headquarters. Spectacular footage has been captured
with fixed on-board cameras, providing wonderful media exposure for the race as well as superb safety coverage.
Will this technology ever come down in cost to the extent where it might become the future of Western Australian
race communications?
