All willing to lay down their lives to gain the treasure, none were lost. As we were
triumphant.
Here be some of the fearsome pirate crew in action.
This great event was open to all CPBA members, with only the Cruising Group taking up the challenge. We would
like all members to be involved in the defense of the chest, when the Club put on a Pirate Chest defence party.
The booty now be ours, it will be on display at th’ stronghold o' Cockburn Power Boats Association. Take heed it
soon be under attack and need’n all ye pirate horde to defend it till the last man.
The next venture that the Cruising Group embrace, will be the Mandurah long
weekend trip on the 3rd till the 5th of March. Only one week away, so email me if
you would like to join in.
So if you like what you have seen in the newsletter, then contact Cindy at the club to
forward on your request to join in the fun.

HISTORY IN AN ONION SHED A little bit of history from Life Member Ernie Bell.
That is where the first meeting of CPBA was held by Jack Baker, founder of this now thriving Club. Six only pre-
sent, being George Moferdin, P. Smedley, R. Santich and two market gardeners from Spearwood and Coogee.
Jack owned the butchers shop in Hamilton Hill, and his wife Poppy ran a cattery at the rear of the shop. They had
two children, Graeme and Julie who are friends and still are. Jack and family have had many pleasant times togeth-
er.
It was in this shop I was asked if I would like to be a member of the Club. Over following years we became firm
friends as we were together at Russell Road where first ramp #1 and the Clubhouse were erected with help from all
volunteers past and some still able to reflect on past times.
The Club moved to it’s present location in 1981 where equipment and nets had been maintained for the
submarine boom during the war years.
Past and present office staff and office bearers and committee have fought and seen our club grow from those six
foundation men.
Photos of Jack Baker and past Commodores are there to be viewed and reflected for their time and effort. Also all
volunteers past and present who have helped to make our Club. Not forgetting the ladies who have also, and still
are, giving their support.
For those who would like to know, Jack Bakers’ ashes are near the spit post just outside the groyne.
A flotilla of 23 boats escorted him to his loved resting place in Cockburn Sound.
I was one of those escorting boats.
50 YEAR LONG SERVING MEMBER I wish to thank the Commodore, Office Bearers past and present, and staff, I have
had the pleasure of knowing over my years as a member of CPBA since late
fifties.
To be presented with a badge of honour for my time with the Club, I shall wear with
pride.

SIZE DOES MATTER
No I’m not talking about what is down under, now I’ve got your attention.
If you have been down to the club in the past 2 months, you would have seen these parking signs, “XL” .
There are 5 bays reserved for larger rigs that is vehicle and trailer sized between 17 – 20 m.
I was helping a member wash down his boat recently, and overheard a conversation that the club was more focused
on large boat owners, rather than small boat owners, I want to dispel that myth. The Committee has looked at what
options were available to it with the new parking layout. Members may recall there were 11 bays up against the
Eastern Fence, that large rigs used, these have been reduced in number from 11 to 5. Hence allowances for more
small, medium and large size parking has been made available.
7m boats were considered large boats in the past, however, now we see many members with 7m boats as the norm.
It is important to act courteous to all members, and remember, that these sizable rigs have no available options to
park elsewhere on club grounds.
There are a number of larger bays elsewhere in the car-park that can take trailers with 7 and 8 m boat trailer
combinations
Any Member with any size rig may park in these allotted XL bays, if all other parking including the north side of
the club rooms’ lot is full.
So in summary, the Club is all about meeting the expectations of All Size boats…. Large and Small.
Please always follow the instructions of our Boson, Thor.
