17.01.2022 Port Dalrymple Yacht Club held its annual Blockbuster Weekend in mid February. 52 boats over 6 classes took to the Tamar River in the post Christmas thrash out. A couple of SVC up and comers where amongst the leaders in their respective classes. A big congratulations to Grade 8 student Oliver Whitton taking out 3rd in his Sabot Under Pressure, and from the Junior School, Grade 6 youngster Lucas Foerder. Lucas sailed aboard Scott Wilkie‘s dinghy Serenity, to take out 1st position in the NS14 class. Top work boys.

17.01.2022 Good luck to Team SVC today in the Spring Bay Mill SB20 Australia Championships. The regatta started in hectic conditions yesterday with 19-22 knots of mostly consistent south easterly breeze causing a big swell on the bay. Following some minor rig damage yesterday and repairs overnight, Team SVC is all prepared and excited to tackle Day 2.

16.01.2022 Some more fantastic pics from Day 2.

11.01.2022 Team SVC hard at work training on the Derwent River this morning for a couple of hours in preparation for the SB20 Nationals next weekend at Triabunna. Massive shout out to super coach and mentor Mathew Cubit for pushing the boys and teaching them the SB20 way, along with James Berry and Glenn Whitton for organising the rib and servicing the trailer whilst the boys were out on the water. Good luck at the Nationals boys.

11.01.2022 Whilst there is a lot of doom and gloom at the moment around the world, here is some fantastic news before most sports were put into recess. Following on from the SB20 Nationals, the 2020 Sabot State Championships were held last weekend at Kingston Beach Sailing Club. SVC Students Oliver Whitton, Darcy Berry and Charlie Cubit competed in shifty wind conditions on Saturday with 5 races held and steady light breeze on Sunday 3 races held.... Results: Senior Division Oliver Whitton: State Sabot Champion for 2020 Oliver Whitton: Sabot Class Champion for 2020 Darcy Berry: 3rd Place Both boys sailed consistently on both days with positions changing regularly. Development Class Charlie Cubit: 2nd Place Charlie Cubit: First on Handicap This was Charlies first ever solo regatta and race situation which he handled exceptionally well as you can see by his result. Well done boys...and a fantastic way to wrap up the school sailing season as it turns out.

05.01.2022 More photos and videos from day 1 and 2 to follow later...stay tunned.

05.01.2022 The first two days of the SB20 Australian Championships are done and dusted. Plenty of thrills and spills for Team SVC and a massive learning experience in some extremely testing conditions. Well done to all the boys and thank you to all the parents and support crew for your endless support. The boys have done very well for an amateur crew against the big boys and multiple major championship winners. Team Skipper Mat Cubit is absolutely stoked with the boys performances and... they all have big smiles on their faces.... even though they all unknowingly held their breath when flying downwind at speed! An opportunity like this for our boys is simply priceless. Enjoy the gallery. Full results and additional pictures and videos can be found at the SB20 Australia Facebook page. Good luck for Day 3 boys.

04.01.2022 Team SVC out in force at this weekend's Tasmanian Schools Sailing Championships. Good luck boys!
