1. MERDEKA REGATTA
·
JOSC expressed their desire to contribute to the APLI event and
asked permission to join other organizers in the event. Permission was
graciously granted verbally for this and to call the trophy the “Merdeka
Regatta” trophy. JOSC will send a formal letter to APLI expressing their
wish to participate and asking for APLI’s agreement to do so.
·
Having no intention of “taking over” the event JOSC will plan
to start and finish near the APLI race courses without interfering in the
dinghy races and join the award ceremony afterward. JOSC keelboats will have
time to return to PM and for crews to drive over to Ancol for the ceremony.
·
JOSC will organize its own keelboat races and the trophy will
be awarded as part of the APLI ceremony. Said trophy reported to be in the
possession of Jan Dienaar.
·
The objective of JOSC’s participation is to show that we are
all part of the same sailing community in RI.
·
Skippers/owners will be e-mailed on courses and times by John.
A series of 2 x 6 mile courses was suggested as fun and not too time
consuming. The ceremony is expected to start at 5 pm.
2.
APLI MEMBERSHIP
·
Some boats’ memberships have expired. All would like to
renew. Some have already done so earlier in the year. A list will be
submitted to be checked by APLI who will confirm address to which to remit
membership dues of Rp. 100,000 per boat.
·
Genevieve has the correct address for APLI, as confirmed by
APLI guest.
·
JOSC requested APLI penants (flags) again, price of which to be
conveyed at a later date.
At this time
the guests withdrew at their own request.

ARRIVAL OF THE BOROBUDUR REPLICA SAILING SHIP
Lat Latest
news is that this vessel is scheduled to arrive on Aug. 6th, a
Friday. Perhaps JOSC can go out to meet them if it is late in the day or
something could be organized for the Saturday or Sunday. Dates to be
reconfirmed by Hon. Commodore.

6. CHARITABLE ACTIVITIES
Theo suggested JOSC organise a day out for
handicapped young people (or some such) sponsored by JOSC at PM. It was
agreed after some discussion of liabilities and possible activities that this
idea should be pursued further with experts in the field or at least
experienced organisations, such as foreign women’s groups etc. who might be
willing to participate. A picnic and a tour of the boats was suggested as
the easiest place to start. Theo is looking for volunteers for a
sub-committee to take charge of this effort and draw up a complete schedule
of events to be presented to the club. Theo will also discuss with related
contacts who have already expressed interest in the idea. Tentative date:
Oct. 5
The
Meeting was closed at 10 pm.

3. 2003 Calendar changes
Due to new
GOI policy regarding holidays being moved to Mondays, an opportunity for a
long weekend’s cruising/racing may present itself March 1- 3. Skippers to be
canvassed re activities for that weekend, possibly to Matahari island.
The Java
Sea Challenge (Nordwachter) is still scheduled for March 15, 16 due to waxing
of the moon.
4. SIB (sailing permit) and exit permits
Documentary evidence indicates that the SIB needs
only to be issued once to a visiting yacht in the port of arrival. It is not
clear if this applies to locally registered vessels. Skippers are advised to
keep a copy of the documents on board as well as SIB (Surat Ijin Belayar).
“Exit Permits” are still easily available in PM and cheap.
Col. Aji to be approached to clarify SIB status of
local and “visiting” vessels.
5. JOSC status & Insurance
After some discussion it was agreed to keep the JOSC
as it is today however the issue should be debated regularly. The training
aspect should be promoted more especially to try to involve more local
sailors. With respect to insurances skippers should be advised that they are
solely responsible for any accident or injury involving their boats during
JOSC activities.
6. JOSC Accounts
The present policy of only having one signatory
should be amended to include two (2) signatories in case of the
unavailability (such as, God forefend, the sudden and early demise) of the
treasurer. The second signatory should be the Commodore. This will be
implemented as soon as last year’s Hon Treasurer returns.
7. Sunday Race Start Times and other (baggy?)
wrinkles
A plea was made for earlier starts or at least a
return to 10 a.m. starts during the NW monsoon season.
Suggestions were put forward such as starting at 1300
hrs well offshore and racing back to PM, or at least mixing up race types so
that some finish offshore in waters clean enough for a (skinny?) dip and some
close to PM where club spirit and cohesion (though probably not coherence)
would be enhanced through collective inebriation and immediate interim prize
giving (e.g. bottle of wine).
The Race Officers will take the above into account
when designing courses.
Last Sunday’s race was considered a great success by
all who participated thanks to creative course design and variable wind
conditions.
8. Close meeting:
There being no other committee business meeting was
closed at 10 pm with thanks to hosts John and Susan for their gracious
hospitality in their humble home.
