Lindsay May OAM - His view of the 2025 Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race.

Lindsay, who has completed 50 consecutive Sydney to Hobart Yacht Races, will speak about the 2025 race, sharing what actually happened on the water — the conditions, challenges, decisions and moments that defined this year’s event from a sailor’s perspective.

Min River was declared the Overall winner of the 2025 Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race, making her owner, Jiang Lin, the first woman to ever win the race and together with her co-skipper Alexis Loison they also became the first double handed crew to lay claim to the famous Tattersall Cup – a day of historic significance in the race.

Lindsay’s talk will include

·       some of the video of the race

·       the conditions, and

·       a discussion of the protest

Lindsay’s talks are always engaging and insightful, and we very much look forward to hearing his perspective on the latest event.

Beyond the Hype: How AI will really transform our lives in 2026 - Michael McQueen 

I would like to encourage all members to attend our upcoming Club Assembly.

This is an important meeting for our club, as it gives us the opportunity to review where we are, discuss plans ahead, and make sure we are aligned on priorities, projects, and how we work together. Club Assemblies are also one of the few times when we can have open, practical discussions about what is working well and what we might do differently.

Your ideas, experience, and feedback are vital to effective planning and to ensuring our club remains strong, active, and enjoyable for everyone.
