Sail BYC - Marine Electronics for Beginners Course (2 sessions)
2022-10-20 18:00 - 21:00, 2022-10-13 18:00 - 21:00 | Bellerive Yacht Club, 64 Cambridge Road, Bellerive, Tasmania, Australia 7018 Show map, Bellerive, Tasmania, 7018, Australia
So you’ve got a few skills but haven’t been able to make that soldered joint look like it was done by a professional? You’ve heard about NMEA2000, N2K, and NMEA0183 but it’s all goobly gook to you. You’re wanting to upgrade your marine electronics and don’t know which way to go.
This course demystifies a lot of the jargon and will show you how to do the basic tasks really well. We’ll look at selecting the rights cables and how to join them. Crimp versus soldering, heatshrink vs tape.
We use a multi-meter to test various parts of an electrical circuit and go through the do’s and don’t when setting up a system. Some basic checks on your radios and how to recognise your main batteries are on the way out.
The course is highly geared to helping you perform your own maintenance and fix faults in your electrical system. We all know water and electricity don’t mix but we can design a system that keeps them apart.
This course is divided into two parts.
Session 1 covers soldering, cable termination, crimping and use of test equipment such as multi-meters.
Session 2 covers interconnecting systems through networks, ethernet and other protocols.
Course cost $100

Sail BYC - Understanding Weather Course
2022-10-16 10:00 - 16:00 | Bellerive Yacht Club, 64 Cambridge Road, Bellerive, Tasmania, Australia 7018 Show map, Bellerive, Tasmania, 7018, Australia
Understanding weather is definitely a science. Although we rely heavily on publicly available forecasts we are affected heavily by local conditions. Understanding when the weather will change and by how much depends on your own observations and can have a serious impact on your safety. This course teaches you what to look for, where you can source information and how to work out with confidence what the likely scenarios are. The barometer is a very good indicator on how reliable your forecast will be and understanding what it’s indicating will help you avoid a difficult situation.
Kenn Batt is one of Australia’s most experienced meteorologists. He’s assisted America Cups campaigns, hundreds of Sydney to Hobart boats and taught thousands of people understand weather, from entry to advanced level. It won’t take you long to witness how passionate Kenn is about weather. Its rumoured he sleeps with a weather map under his pillow! Kenn will provide the fundamentals on understanding weather. The course provides essential information which will assist you in making decisions on when and where you use your boat. The course includes a handbook.
Cost is $150 and don’t forget if you are an existing BYC member you can use the discount code “BYC” on booking to get your member discount.

Combined Clubs Long Race Pennant Series
2022-10-08 09:30 - 17:00 | Tasmania
Including courses in Storm Bay and the Channel, as well as transiting the tricky River Derwent, the race will see a fleet of over 40 boats greet the starter at 10:00.
This season, for the first time, the Hobart Combined Clubs Bellerive Yacht Club, the Derwent Sailing Squadron Inc and Royal Yacht Club of Tasmania will be conducting separate pennant series for Long and Harbour races. This reflects the changing makeup of the fleets and boat owners’ preferences.
For the coming season the Combined Clubs have decided to adopt the ORC Club rating system, alongside IRC and PHS, for handicap racing. ORC is a worldwide rating system that is expected to provide a more accurate rating for each boat than previous systems.
