PEGASUS POST Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz Thursday February 4 2021 3 Yacht club celebrates 100 years PLEASANT POINT Yacht Club celebrates its centennial this weekend. The club, now based in South New Brighton Park, began in 1921 on the shores of the estuary just behind where the South New Brighton School is today. The area was then known as Pleasant Point Domain. In 1929 the club moved across to the western shore to an area of mud flats at the mouth of the Avon River that would become known as Rat Island. Over the years, the club built up and improved the land together with the club facilities and held summer sailing and racing programmes, teaching hundreds of children and adults how to sail. That was until the first of the Canterbury earthquakes on September 4, 2010 damaged the buildings and land beyond repair. In the 10 years since, it found a new site and has built a new yacht club (opened in September 2019) in South New Brighton Park – just a stone’s throw from where it all began in 1921. The centennial celebrations will provide a great opportunity to relive the highs and lows of the club’s 100 years, especially the last 10 years of the rebuild. The celebrations kick off with a noggin ‘n natter on Friday night, on Saturday, the Sullivan Cup, which is the club’s main open event, will be sailed, coupled with another major trophy, the Arch Lamb trophy for the Sunburst class. The races will feature multihulls, trailer yachts and senior and junior racing dingy classes and are open to other yacht club members. Saturday’s sailing will be followed by a celebration dinner. On Sunday, the club will run its Classic Yacht Race, first sailed at the club’s 75th celebrations. This will be coupled with a display of classic boats of all types owned by members of the Classic Boat Group of Canterbury. There will be plenty for the public to see on Saturday and Sunday. For more information, phone Ian Douglas on 027 4719 208. EXCITED: Nigel Humphreys of the Pleasant Point Yacht Club getting ready for a big weekend.

PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN Instruction sign at each cradle site • From page 1 “Using a specialised technique known as photogrammetry, CoastSnap turns your photos into valuable coastal data that is used by coastal scientists to understand and forecast how coastlines might change in the coming decades. “The beach and dunes at New Brighton and Taylors Mistake are dynamic, natural systems that are constantly changing. CoastSnap will help us to better understand how the beaches respond to changes in wave conditions, weather and extreme storm events. “Every photo that is taken will add to a community database that will be used by scientists and planners to map shoreline changes. That information will help us to improve how we manage treasured coastal environments, so please get snapping. “There’s a sign at each camera cradle site explaining what you need to do so it is an easy project for people to get involved in.’’ The CoastSnap app can be downloaded from the app store or Google Play. CoastSnap is a joint project involving the city council, Environment Canterbury and the University of Canterbury. YOUR ONE STOP SHOP!
