📣 Exciting News from Team Mondo! ⛵️🎉![]()
![]()
We’re thrilled to announce that long-time crew member, Macie Bourke, 16, has been approved by the Cruising Yacht Club Of Australia to race with Mondo in this year’s Bird Island Race! 🌊💪![]()
![]()
Macie is a proud product of the Manly Yacht Club's Youth pathway program, where she's grown from strength to strength since her very first Twilight race on Mondo back in 2019 (check out this throwback photo from that race!). Over the past few years, Macie has dedicated herself to mastering the art of sailing, showing incredible determination, skill, and teamwork on the water. From qualifying for the J24 Youth Worlds to offshore deliveries in challenging conditions, she’s proven herself time and time again.![]()

Mondo couldn’t be prouder to have several talented current MYC junior sailors and graduates on our crew roster, and Macie’s journey is a fantastic example of what MYC’s youth pathway program is all about.![]()

Let’s give Macie a big round of applause and wish her and the entire Mondo team fair winds and great racing for Bird Island on November 16th! 🌬️✨
CLUB CHAMPIONSHIP RACE 4![]()
![]()
With a forecast of a nice 10-15 nor’easter, the fleet was looking for a fine day of racing. Course 1 was selected which meant a start in Hunter Bay. Fortunately, the combined clubs laser micro regatta was also located in the vicinity.![]()
![]()
By start time the wind had picked up considerably and most boats, that could, put in a reef. A strong outgoing tide and a big chop caused by the many power boats traversing the starting area, made for an interesting start. Winds stayed at 16knts gusting to 23knts for much of the race with some reefs shaken out on the second last leg from Cannae to Obelisk before a work home to North Harbour, finishing on the tender - thanks Jason, Sammy and Josh.![]()
![]()
Six boats started in division 1 and 4 in division 2, but headsail issues meant that Ten Sixty retired from the race, and Kaotic was duty boat scoring average points.![]()
![]()
In first place division 1 Mondo took line honours and handicap winner, followed by San Toy and Absolut in 2nd and 3rd place on handicap. Although the results indicate that Stephen was at the helm of Mondo, co-owner Lisa actually sailed Mondo to victory - Stephen being very busy running 12 laser races off Ready, Get Set!!! in The Sound - thank you Stephen and race committee.![]()
![]()
In division 2 Kia Kaha was fastest around the course and handicap winner, followed by Ça Va and Pam.![]()

TWILIGHT RACE 4 AND TWILIGHT FEMALE HELM RACE 1![]()
![]()
Wow! What a turn out! 31 of our 37 entries came out to play, among them 18 female helm - double WOW! Twilight race director Lisa has certainly been a busy bee!![]()
![]()
A little overcast but a great breeze, albeit a short course (course 2) made for some fun sailing but a little hard for the later starters to catch up. Never mind. The shoe will be on the other foot, once the longer courses are in play.![]()
![]()
In twilight race 4, the Saltwater Veterans, sailing Manly Sailing-Supernova, showed what they were made of, crossing the line first, followed by Phantom Menace, helmed by Tanya Jones from BPSC, with Esprit de Four taking third spot in this pursuit race.![]()
![]()
In the first race for twilight female helm - which is a handicap, not pursuit scored race - Phantom Menace was at the front with Tanya taking the double. New member - 14-year-old Arabella Merrick helmed Stock Car into second place and Saltwater Veterans Paula Trevitt picking up 3rd spot on handicap on Manly Sailing-Supernova, - another double on the podium!![]()
![]()
The enormous task of starting and finishing the boats was left to the crew of Kryptonite - thank you. It was a difficult night with lots of boats finishing around the same time; not helped by finished boats not exiting the area correctly.![]()
![]()
But, it was great to see so many new boats and members both on the water and back at the club.![]()
![]()
Back at the club the deck was heaving. Running out of glasses and cutlery, while not a good look, gave an indication of how many came back for a cook your own steak or vegetarian option. Thanks Karrie, Danielle and Kinvara in the galley and Brie at the bar - it was pretty manic and you guys all coped really well.![]()
