On saturday 13th June. Albert Sailing Club will again be open 10am – 4pm for recreational sailing on Albert Park Lake. Everyone who comes down whether sailing or as a visitor needs to sign in in the club foyer and follow physical hygiene and cleaning protocols. Boat rigging in areas at northern and southern ends of club buildings, with a limit of 20 people per area. Club toilets will be open, but changerooms continue to be closed.
The Victorian Optimist Association Winter program returns to the Lake with a 12 week program on sunday afternoons at Albert Sailing Club commencing on sunday 21st June Details are being published on the VIODA Facebook.
The ASC committee met on wednesday and again had a full Agenda. A report was considered on the resumption of Albert Sailing Club following the COVID19 lockdown period. Recreational sailing commenced in late May with a few down to sail on saturdays, and also during the week. The ASC COVID19 Safe plan is in place and is being well followed. Last Friday the carpets in the upstairs clubrooms were cleaned and have come up looking and smelling good ! Planning is in progress so that when further easing of government restrictions occurs, we can move back to a club racing program and a more regular range of club activity. A letter from Australian Sailing Victoria was received which outlined their representations to the Victorian Government seeking an easing of restrictions on sailing in particular not allowing of competition sailing, dinghy class sailing in single handed boats only (except where two in same family), and restrictions on keel boat crewing. These restrictions have been lifted or have been announced to be lifted in most other States. Australian Sailing has asked for members of sailing clubs to lobby their MP’s for changes in restrictions on sailing. A letter which can be used for this purpose is being loaded onto the ASC website www.albertsc.org.au.
Continue to get active and enjoy the winter weather.

The Australian eSailing Champs are on Thursday night at 7pm with details on Australian Sailing Facebook.
A group of half a dozen members sailed at various times on tuesday, which was a top Melbourne Autumn day. The Lake conditions were great for sailing. They plan to repeat with am or pm sailing on the next good midweek day in the next couple of weeks. If you are interested in coming down midweek for an afternoon sail when others are down, send an email to Rod via training@albertsc.org.au, and we will include you on the email list, with distribution the day before a planned midweek sailing day.
Club sailing in Victoria continues at a recreational, non competitive level, and will continue as such until the Government advises otherwise. We are liasing with the junior VIODA Optimist class on commencment of an Opti winter program, with details to be finalised soon.
There will be an ASC saturday duty roster out mid June, with provision for RHIB crews. Some members in more vulnerable categories may not be available. If you are available to help out by placement on a backup list in June or July, send an email to Steve Dunn via sailing@albertsc.org.au.
If you are planning to come down to the club some key considerations are :
* Stay away if you are unwell or are awaiting COVID19 test results.
* everyone whether sailing or not needs to sign in and sign out on a Form in the club foyer ;
* if sailing arrive ready to sail.
* rig boats in designated rigging area at southern end or northern end foreshore in front of club buildings
* wipe down door handles, taps and hard surfaces in downstairs areas you touch.
The SEDA educational group are down using our clubrooms Monday, Tuesday and Thursday for the middle few hours of the day. Unfortunately, while they can use the upstairs clubrooms, members are for now not able to, and we await government announcements as to when this is possible.

Resumption of Sailing for Clubs on Albert Park Lake
The Albert Sailing Club and Albert Park Yacht Club clubrooms and facilities were both closed in mid March, and currently remain closed. Earlier in the week the Victorian Government made announcements on easing of some of the restrictions, including on sport and recreational activities from midnight on Tuesday 12th May. Recreational boating is now permissable, with restrictions. A draft plan for resumption of recreational sailing for Sailing Clubs on Albert Park Lake has been developed taking into account Government and Australian Sailing prescriptions and advice. This plan had its initial consideration at a club sub-committee meeting on Thursday evening. At this stage there are matters which are unclear and need clarification. There are also hygiene items and processes which need to be put in place for the health and safety of people using any club facilities. The clubs thus remains closed, until outstanding items can be addressed. The objective is to resolve these items as quickly as possible.
Final call for items for the next Mudpuddler Newsletter. Send your articles, stories, photos, ditties or whatever to our Editor Jamie via mudpuddler@albertsc.org.au.
The club website www.albertsc.org.au was down for a week in early May. It is now back up and running with a different visual appearance, but essentially the same content. There is still some work to be done on the Home Page to be undertaken in the next week or two. Thanks Luke Tupper for the website update.

New entrants welcome and can still qualify for a series result with 5 of 8 races to count.
There was an exciting race 3 on Anzac Day, with a slighly longer race which saw most competitors very quick off the mark but often not so good in handling the tricky conditions.Well done to new entrants Paul and Emma Taig for winning (despite 1 capsize) and to Chris and Rob Pulham who finished second and third with no capsizes.
After 3 races in the 8 race series the overall placings are very close with the top 4 headed by the junior entrant Noah Bajayo narrowly from Geoff Rippingale and Chris and Rob Pulham.

** Albert Park Non-Sailing Corona Series Race 2 Report
Race 2 of the Non-Sailing Corona Series was an exciting race with the Race Officer needing to look up the scoring rules due to a 3-way tie for 4th place. Our ASC junior Noah thrived in the lighter conditions. Noah romped home in 8 minutes with no capsizes (incorrect answers) to take out the race, hotly followed at 4 minute intervals by Rob (of the famous Pulham APYC clan) and Geoff, our visitor from South Gippsland. A number of the other sailors got caught up trying to sort out their standing from their running rigging, thus incurring penalties, ASC’s Rear Commodore Steve Dunn managed to get around the course with no capsizes but, having forgotten to sign on missed the start, hence taking out the wooden spoon. Sailors are having to decide between going for speed or trying not to capsize (i.e. zero incorrect answers), and it may take the entire series to determine which strategy works best.You can still join the fun by visiting http://albertsc.org.au/index.php/racing/social-sailing1/. But be warned, you will need to be ready to race by 2 p.m. sharp each Saturday if you want a chance of taking out the series prize (as yet, undetermined).
*** Current Albert Park Reserve Parking Permits and Arrangements
As per email from Parks Victoria on 20 April. ” The Victorian Government has restricted sporting, cultural, recreational and commercial activities to minimise the risk of people being in close contact with each other, so we can slow the spread of coronavirus (COVID-19). We encourage everyone to follow the health advice provided by the Department of Health and Human Services www.dhhs.vic.gov.au Albert Park Reserve remains accessible for locals to exercise if physical distancing directions are strictly followed. Parking fees still apply to all car parks and kerbside parking spaces within Albert Park. Time restrictions and ticket requirements are shown on parking signs within the park. Given these exceptional times, we have advised the Parking Officers to apply leniency when conducting patrols. Unfortunately we are unable to process renewals for expired Sports Club parking permits due to the current restrictions in place by the Victorian Government. Permit applications can be processed after restrictions are lifted (ie eased and sailing club operations can re-commence). Club members with expired permits will need to purchase a ticket from the “Pay-and-Display” ticket machines in the park. Permit conditions specify that Sports Club parking permits may only be used for parking within the vicinity of your club whilst attending to your clubs’ activities. However, during the current restriction period, we are willing to provide some flexibility on this permit condition.”
Any updates will be forwarded in a future Snippets.
**** Latest Marine Safety Victoria Advice on current Boating Restrictions on their websiteResponse to boating queries about COVID-19 Updated: 21 AprilThe Chief Health Officer has provided advice that canoeing, kayaking, stand-up paddle boarding, rowing and surf skiing are permitted, as long as physical distancing is complied with and people don’t travel large distances to do them.Recreational fishing and boating are not permitted.Read more about recreational boating restrictions and the exemption for commercial operations on the Better Boating Victoria website.

ALBERT PARK CORONA SERIES Heat 1
Heat one of the Albert Park Non-Sailing Corona series was held in windy conditions on Saturday 11th May. Multiple capsizes gave plenty of entertainment to the spectators. Jon Pulham led early but mistook the windward mark for the leeward mark, with most of the fleet following.
Geoff Rippingale visiting from South Gippsland YC showed the locals up, being the only sailor to sail the correct course and stay upright, losing time to Jon only as he searched the sailing instructions for his ‘footwear’. It helps to have some local knowledge!
Third to finish and first from Albert Sailing Club was Rod Thomas in the imaginatively named “Rod’s Boat”. First junior was Noah Bajayo also from ASC in his Laser 4.7 “The only series I have a chance in”
The Pulham family from APYC had three entrants – I think I know where Jon gets his competitive side from! Fortunately for the fleet the other Pulhams don’t always know their tacks from their clews.
The wind is looking a bit lighter this week – with three drops allowed the series is just getting started and no one is out of it yet!
Join in the fun this Saturday at 2pm Go to http://albertsc.org.au/index.php/racing/social-sailing1/ for details.
(Note from the Race Officer: The results, questions and answers from Race 1 on that page will give you some further insights into the cryptic race report provided by Jon Pulham.)

The forecast is for another wintry weekend in Melbourne, with some showers Saturday morning, and light to moderate winds across the weekend. On saturday 20th Albert Sailing Club will be open 10am – 4pm for recreational sailing. On Sunday 21st the Victorian Optimist Association (VIODA) commence their winter coaching program at ASC. Over 20 Optimists from Melbourne clubs, including ASC, will be involved in coaching each Sunday afternoon till mid September. Full details of the VIODA program on https://www.facebook.com/optimistvic A reminder that everyone who comes to the club to sail or as a visitor needs to sign in on sheets in the club foyer and follow physical hygiene and cleaning protocols. Boat rigging is in two areas at northern and southern ends of club buildings, with a limit of 20 people per area. Club toilets will be open, but changerooms and clubrooms are again closed this week.
The good news is that on Sunday 14th June the Victorian Government announced some changes in COVID19 restrictions including some in relation to community sport which take effect from 22nd June. The club committee and the club sailing committee have been considering the updated regulations and await some further advice from Australian Sailing on some sailing specific aspects. It is proposed to commence ASC/APYC winter club racing on the Lake on Saturday 4th July with a number of Saturday afternoon stand alone trophy races and then a shortened winter series. There are current restrictions, including competition of up to 20, and double handed sailing only for people in same family or juniors under 18. Changerooms and clubrooms are allowed to be opened after 22nd June if the relevant regulations are being followed. There is more work to be done on all of this, and we will provide further details next week. And of course, there will be further changes in restrictions in coming weeks which will impact what is possible.
