Interested in an Ultimate ? - A word from the
President
The Ultimate Yacht Association is based in Melbourne and has a
current membership of 96 boats.
Regular meetings are held in Melbourne on the second Wed of each month.
UYA activities as listed on our calendar are a mix of: Racing - mainly on Port Phillip Bay, but also on other
inland waters. Cruising - on the Gippsland Lakes, Port Phillip Bay
and other waterways in Victoria and interstate. Social Activities - in and around Melbourne.
Ultimate yachts are valued for their safety, versatility and the strength of the
UYA. We regularly receive enquiries from prospective buyers.
The UYA is a well organised, friendly Association and members are encouraged
to participate in the many activities. Members receive a quarterly magazine
"Ultimo*Proximo" which contains a wealth of useful information for all Ultimate
owners.
Are You a Member ?
We encourage all Ultimate owners
to become members of the Ultimate Yacht
Association for the very low fee of $30 per

You receive the quarterly Association magazine Ultimo*Proximo.
Ultimo*Proximo brings you up to date with Ultimate activities via the calendar,
reports and photos of recent events plus invaluable technical articles and ideas
for your boat.
You get the opportunity to participate in UYA activities such as organised
races, cruises and social events, while improving your sailing skills and making
new friends.

Access to a wide range of experienced members who can answer virtually any
question you may have about your Ultimate.

in your Ultimate ? See how Peter Nyga tackled it, and read a full
report in a forthcoming Ultimo*Proximo !
1. What has happened if a yacht is 'taken aback' ?
2. What condition exists when a yacht is said to
be 'in irons' ?
3. What is the derivation of the word 'yacht' ?
Most of us have flown on a plane at some time and
experienced the safety demonstration.
We are
told where the life jackets are and how to adjust them.
What do we do when a visitor steps onto our boat ?
"If it's going to blow, don't go", is a handy motto.
Check the weather forecasts, which are regularly updated
and give warnings of strong winds and gales ...
