Jeremy Bagshaw is doing a fantastic job. You can follow the race and his progress by downloading the App – YB Races. Unfortunately, the American Guy de Boer had to retire after his boat ran aground in the Canary Islands.

In the pre-spring edition of the CCRC rendezvous, the very busy club went on a mini rowing excursion to the Mykonos!
|
|
|
From 26-28 August, over 30 happy CCRC esteemed and naughty members enjoyed some much-desired miles on flat water in beautiful Mykonos.

Notice to Members
|
Please note that the measuring of sails in the Crow’s Nest Bar will no longer be allowed.
|
|
Procedure: Club trailer usage
Please note that rubble dumped in the Club trailer will only be allowed through permission from STMC/FBYC. The trailer will be parked in front of the STMC offices, under the camera for supervision.
|
|
Please separate wood, metals, plastic, etc to make it easier for the person who has to off-load at the dump.
|
|
|
|
|
Club Dress Code
|
Please adhere to the signs which have been placed in the clubhouse.
|
|
|
Liquor licence
|
The club has an on-consumption liquor licence therefore members and their guests may not bring their own liquor onto the club premises, as this is regarded as an offence in terms of the Liquor Act. We have reviewed the corkage fee facility and it will not be available in the Crow’s Nest Bar upstairs any longer.
|
The facility will still be available when you are ordering from the restaurant downstairs. Arrangements to pay corkage can be set up with Carl when you want to bring your own wines for a function, provided that the wine is not already on the wine list.

That the ocean is a great connector is starkly visible in other ways. The beaches of the farthest reaches of the planet are piled high with plastics, and plastic particles are embedded in the bodies of even the world’s deepest inhabitants. In 2020 a new species of giant amphipod crustacean was discovered 22,000 feet down in the Mariana Trench with plastic in its gut.

FBYC Environmental Code of Conduct
Remember that FBYC is a catch-and-release Marine Protected Area!
|
|
|
FBYC members are expected to respect the environment, including the animals and wildlife in the club premises and at sea.
|
Every effort should be made not to pollute the environment. This includes not flushing bilges or heads while in the harbour. Oily bilge water should be pumped into a portable receptacle at the club, and disposed of correctly.
|
|
FBYC members are expected to adhere to all environmental regulations and to report illegal activities to the relevant authority. Activities on the shore and at sea are governed by a variety of environmental regulations including primarily the Marine Living Resources Act, the Protected Areas Act and the Coastal Zone Act.
|
|
Recreational anglers need to abide by a massive body of legislation, much of which is summarised in the Marine Recreational Activity Information Brochure published jointly by the Departments of Environmental Affairs and Agriculture Forestry and Fisheries. These brochures should accompany the annual fishing permit. Anglers must be in possession of a fishing permit. Commercial fishers need to abide by their permit conditions, specific to each right holder.
|
|
It should be general knowledge that dumping of material at sea is prohibited, which includes the establishment of artificial reefs. Boaters also need to be aware of the regulations pertaining to cetaceans (whales and dolphins). Boaters must maintain a distance of 300 m between their vessel and a cetacean. Harassing of cetaceans is strictly forbidden and actively enforced.

Conservation and the FBYC
|
|
|
We are fortunate to live on a coast with an abundance of natural resources. Many of us take this for granted, but a trip to Europe or the East should quickly remind us that the waters of False Bay present a spectacle of marine life.
|
Unfortunately, False Bay is not immune to the problems which have decimated the seas in other parts of the world. Pollution, over-fishing and the spread of alien species have all made their mark in False Bay, and a number of local species are now threatened. Simon's Town is home to a few species listed in the IUCN Red Data list and the CITES list, which indicates their vulnerability. We even have some threatened fish species swimming among our moorings.
|
|
When out on the bay, one regularly spots illegal activities, such as poaching in the Marine Protected Areas.
|
|
Several areas in False Bay are designated as off-limits to fishermen, primarily to allow fish life to recover and also to protect important dive sites.
|
The closest of these are the reefs around Roman Rock Light and the area to the south of it. Roman Rock, and the majority of what is called as Castor Rock on the SAN chart, is inside a no-fishing area.
|
A line drawn due south (true) from the tall building in Muizenberg (easily visible from Simon's Town) is the eastern limit of this area, and provides an easy reference.
|
|
Detailed co-ordinates of this and other areas are available on the angling noticeboard.
|
|
With mountain lookouts and a fast boat, SANP have the ability to respond fairly quickly to calls.
