This year we had a pre-season Icebreaker race and invited our friends at Westernport and Somers to join us. This was to the awarding of the Montalto Marathon trophies to those who could make it, and to thank John Mitchell of Montalto for their generous support of this race (WHICH MERRICKS WON!!). Unfortunately, on the day our four visitors took out 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th places. Oh, and Matt Darby had the first capsize of the season before the race. Well done Matt. The full results below.

Our glorious sailing captain, Simon Webster, under the supervision and guidance of Richard Jagger, have updated the Sailing Instructions for the coming season. For those of you who don't know what sailing instructions are, they are not instructions on how to sail (but you could pick up a few ideas Martin) but the rules under which we operate. So read them before bed and prepare to hit the water.

We had a fantastic turnout for our first weekend working bee for the 2024-25 season, although less arduous than in previous years because of the hard work of the Friday Gang's hard work. But there was still changing rooms to sweep, the untangling of the rock buoy lines (see photo - 'How many blokes does it take to untangle three lines?), launching of patrol and the placing of the rock buoys (in the wrong place). A successful morning finished off with a BBQ.

The Friday morning crew have done an amazing job with replacing the retaining wall, despite the recent assistance of the former club champion, Martin Corden. Great effort by Storm, Doug, Keith, Pete (current club champion) and Martin. The shed is now advancing at a great pace with the slab and early metal work complete. Thanks again to the generous support of Bendigo Bank, Balnarring for helping make this possible.

Recently the club was graced with a visit from Sir John who attended the club to receive his latest Magoo award. He was accompanied by Nurse Darby, who ensured all appropriate protections were in place, but declined Simon Webster offer to be subject to a full body search. Great effort by Matt and Edwina to get him to and from his rehab facility.
