HOANA — 100 Years Old

Next year, Hoana will be one hundred years old — I think! I bought her thirty-eight years ago, and everybody told me that she had been launched in 1920. Then, when Joe Adams gave me the line drawings which he and the next owner, Hank Kauffman, had made of her, I noticed that 1920 had been struck out, replaced by 1924.

2024 Winter Solstice

On the eve of the year’s longest night, bathed in the luminous glow of a full moon, Sydney Amateurs marked the winter solstice with a soiree! A spirited company of crew members and esteemed guests, from the ship James Craig, revelled in a fabulous rollicking celebration.

What boat is that?

We all have our foibles. Among my lesser obsessions is the urge to waste inordinate amounts of time fossicking on the internet for old images of boating on Sydney Harbour. The detail in glass-plate photography from a century ago is endlessly evocative.

Outstanding Effort by Volunteers

Two weekends in May were set aside well in advance for a Working Bee. Planned in
detail by Bruce Dover and Trevor Cosh, work was allocated to the about 90 members
who volunteered to help.

Signals from the Commodore – June 2024

The frantic pace of racing most weekends through Spring and Summer makes way for a more relaxed time around the Club as Autumn leads into Winter. In our last members’ survey, most suggested the best thing to do at the Amateurs was simply to hang around on the deck, before and after sailing.
