Southport Yacht Club welcomed LSC Members to
the 33rd birthday of the Dux facility on Sunday
16th August.(It was more like a family reunion
as LSC Members Mark and Lyn Lopez have been
on-site managers at Dux since September 2014!)
The LSC was represented by Commodore Lyle
Watkins, Secretary Roger McDowall, Directors
Karen Davy and Gaye Morcombe and several
LSC member vessels.
Whilst the weather was a little showery to begin,
it soon cleared up and when the band started the
party really got going. Ferry transfer from Main
Beach brought about 250 partygoers to join the
crews of around 60 boats anchored out front.
Some of the SYC members dressed up in the spirit
of the day’s celebrations. The Annual Dux Tug-
o-War was held, with the Sail group beating the
Power group to win the coveted Dux Award.
SYC Commodore Phil Short welcomed attendees
and everyone enjoyed birthday cake and a glass of
bubbles to celebrate. A great day, great music and
great company. Thank-you to everyone at SYC!
