Fee refunds and waivers
Refunds for fees paid for use of dot managed maritime facilities .
Under current maritime legislation DoT has discretionary power in certain circumstances to refund fees paid for use of DoT managed maritime facilities.
You may be eligible for a full or partial refund of fees paid for use of DoT’s maritime facilities if relevant infrastructure or services are unused.
Please note that refunds relating to use of vessel accommodation in a pen or berth or on a mooring in a DoT managed maritime facility may only be considered on the following basis:
- The customer informs a DoT officer in writing that the pen, berth or mooring allocated to them is no longer required, prior to the expiration of the agreement term.
- Refunds will be calculated from the date of relinquishment. If no date of relinquishment is provided in advance, the date on which DoT receives the written notification will be used. Refunds cannot be back dated.
- Refunds are not pro-rata but are calculated based on the difference between the original payment and the amount that should have been paid for the revised accommodation term. For example, if a customer pays an annual fee, but leaves after five months and two weeks, then the refund calculation is based on the difference between the annual fee paid and the fee that should have been paid for five months at the quarterly rate and two weeks at the weekly rate - in this instance the customer may have paid $5,872.80 for 12 months, but would have paid $3,207.00 for five months and two weeks, so the refund would be $2,665.80.
- A refund will only be paid to the customer named on the original receipt or licence agreement.
For further details, please contact your local harbour office.
Waivers associated with use of DoT managed maritime facilities
Under current maritime legislation, DoT has discretionary power in certain circumstances to waive fees payable for use of DoT managed maritime facilities.
Fee waivers will be considered in limited circumstances such as for a health emergency, as in the COVID pandemic; for vessel breakdowns/emergency repairs; in response to certain weather emergencies or events; or to facilitate public safety, such as waiving pen fees for approved sea, search and rescue vessels.
The following fee waiver instruments are currently in place for the use of vessel accommodation at DoT managed maritime facilities:
- Sea, search and rescue vessels - JR-2023-205937
- Government contractors - JR-2022-205144

Probe into yacht club's illegal pens
Prestigious Swan Yacht Club is under investigation over four boat pens built on the river without the approval of the Swan River Trust.
Though the maximum penalty for the breach is only $50,000, the fallout from the building debacle is threatening to tear the club apart and has led to managing secretary Geoff Reynolds accepting a payout to leave. It is understood he signed a confidentiality agreement.
A spokeswoman for the Swan River Trust confirmed this week the club did not have approval for the pens as required under the Swan and Canning Rivers Management Act.
She said the trust was investigating but had not yet decided on what action it would take.
More than 30 members have repeatedly petitioned the management committee for a special general meeting to discuss Mr Reynolds' departure and the illegal boat pens, but have been refused.
One group is considering legal action.
There are also questions about the club's financial affairs.
Several members said they had been told at a recent meeting the club lent money to other Fre- mantle-based clubs without the board's approval.
Those loans had not been secured and the club was seeking security.
Acting managing secretary Dennis Nott refused to comment, saying he did not have the authority of the board to speak publicly about the club's affairs.
He recently wrote to all club members urging them not to continue with their efforts to hold a special general meeting.
"It is regrettable that club funds have had to have been spent for this purpose," Mr Nott said.
"I sincerely trust that this clarifies the situation and puts the matter to rest."
In one of its legal letters to the club, the petitioning group's lawyers accused the committee of deliberately ignoring its constitutional obligations and of trying to avoid scrutiny.
Mr Nott said the club had taken legal advice about each attempt to hold a meeting and was told the petitions were invalid.

Pens fail safety rules
FOUR unauthorised Swan Yacht Club boat pens the subject of a two-year investigation do not meet Australian safety standards.
The WA transport department confirmed a Herald tip-off the club had been ordered to fix mooring piles installed during the modification of the pens because they weren’t up to scratch. “DoT, working with the Swan River Trust, has requested the Swan Yacht provide marine engineering certification including load testing,” department executive Steve Jenkins says.
He reveals that, contrary to earlier reports, the works involve existing pens already licensed with the department.
Two years later the Trust still hasn’t decided whether to pursue legal action for the unauthorised works: “The Trust has considered the matter and is working with the Swan Yacht Club to ensure that the piles and jetties are constructed in a suitable and structurally sound matter,” was an anonymous response to the Herald’s question on why no decision had been made.

New boaties join the queue for pens
Royal Perth Yacht Club may have won a lengthy battle with the Swan River Trust to develop more boat pens at its Crawley annexe, but general manager Stuart Walton says the additional capacity will do little to solve a severe shortage of berths in Perth.
The Royal Perth Yacht Club may have won a lengthy battle with the Swan River Trust to develop more boat pens at its Crawley annexe, but its general manager Stuart Walton says the additional capacity will do little to solve a severe shortage of berths in Perth.
The RPYC will start work on a 50-pen extension in two to three months, extending the number of pens under its management to 500.
The club had wanted to develop 100 pens but its application was rejected by the trust. RPYC recently won an appeal against that decision by the Department of Environment and Conservation but it has been restricted to developing an extra 50 pens.
But Mr Walton said he was still considering cutting off the club’s waiting list because RPYC could not keep up with demand.
“We are getting three to four phone calls [for pens] per day at the moment,” Mr Walton said. “We are finding that we get people in their 40s and 50s who have some spare cash and want to realise that dream of owning a boat, but now they can’t because they have nowhere to put it.”
He said people with bigger yachts could be waiting between five and 10 years to secure a pen at RPYC.
In three to four months, RPYC will move some boats from Crawley to its Fremantle annex and start the construction process.
Other yachting clubs contacted by WA Business News said Perth’s pen shortage had hit a crisis point, and they too were considering cutting off waiting lists despite their own expansion plans and the development of 300 pens at Port Coogee.
In a bid to secure pens, boat owners and prospective boat owners are offering cash upfront to buy pens or are attempting to buy a boat in an existing pen.
However, those efforts are largely coming unstuck at a club level because the majority of yacht clubs lease the pens to registered boat owners and stipulate that any change of boat ownership requires club approval. This often means the newcomer is stripped of the pen and dropped to the bottom of the waiting list.
Most clubs also only allow paid-up members of the club to join the waiting list.
Several clubs said pen fees had only been increasing in line with inflation because they were interested in serving existing members and not profiting from surging demand.
However, a small private pen market has been operating at The Fremantle Sailing Club after it sold 550 of its 657 pens in the 1980s following a restructure of the club’s finances.
“The prices of those pens have been rising dramatically,” FSC chief executive officer Dennis Allison said. “They have been going up like house prices.”
He said that, while the FSC was in the midst of planning significant extensions to its facilities, it too was considering cutting off its waiting list.
“People who are serious about wanting a pen should get on the list sooner rather than later,” Mr Allison told WA Business News.
The Flying Squadron Yacht Club in Dalkeith is also planning to increase the number of pens it has on offer, but, as of a few weeks ago, it closed its waiting list to the general public.
FSYC general manager Damian O’Donnell said planned pen increases by some of Perth’s yacht clubs was not enough to soak up current and projected demand.
“In my investigations it was suggested to me that that if hundreds of pens were available right now they would be taken up within a week of being advertised,” he said.
Mr O’Donnell said he had received interest from boat brokers prepared to pay “millions of dollars” to fund pen development at FSYC in order to gain first rights to the pens.
Mr O’Donnell said the club would put a development plan to a member vote within months, with the intention of constructing new pens by early next year.
Several Perth yacht clubs contacted by WA Business News said they were averse to large-scale developments merely to accommodate the needs of people with big boats looking for storage space.
Several operators said the solution to the pen shortage could be found in a privately backed marina development.
The City of Nedlands is currently considering a proposal to develop a marina at Swanbourne.
A spokesman for Planning and Infrastructure Minister Alannah MacTiernan did not respond to questions from WA Business News.

ClubSwan 43 First Look: A Spicy and Seriously Appealing Cruiser-Racer
- Toby Hodges
- September 11, 2024
The ClubSwan 43, a contemporary multi-mode cruiser-racer is one of 2024’s most exciting launches. Toby Hodges went to the Finnish yard for the first sea trials... sort of...
Product Overview
Clubswan 43, price as reviewed:.
What does a genuine cruiser-racer look like today? Spicy and seriously appealing if we take Swan’s latest model as an example. Granted, the dark brown water surrounding the ClubSwan 43 (CS43) during this first photoshoot doesn’t quite sell it, but believe me, the lines and details of Juan Kouyoumdjian’s latest rocketship really does get the heart rate spiking. This is one slippery weapon, potentially as stunning to sail as her fiery looks promise.
And it’s rare to find a new yacht that properly fulfills a dual-purpose role. Admittedly this design is skewed more towards racing, which will likely be the focus of most owners. But like its predecessor, the CS42, it features a fitted interior for occasional fair weather cruising – the modern shape of the new boat helps provide large volumes below decks (for a race boat) in a three-cabin layout.
Swan markets the ClubSwan 43 as ‘the perfect crossover’ because it targets three briefs: one-design events, handicap regatta ratings, and sports cruising. Some readers will remember it began life on the drawing board a couple of years ago as a 41-footer. But when the ORC band limits changed, Swan changed with it, extending this to a 43 as the Finnish boatbuilders wanted to be in the middle of Cat A for this international rating system.
Sea trials from the yard – but with race sails fitted and a hiking crew this time.
“ORC is getting bigger every year so this was our focus,” Nautor’s CEO Giovanni Pomati explained as we attended the launch and first sea trials from Swan’s Pietersaari yard.
Pomati described how Swan clients love to race in Nautor’s one-design circuit but also want to compete in high-profile regattas such as the Copa del Rey or Admiral’s Cup, and have the option of then cruising with their families. But he admits this is a mighty tall order: “As Juan K says – ‘you want a pig with five legs!’”
ClubSwan 43’s design versatility
“For me the way all these different aspects between performance, interior/cruising ability, and where the boat sits in terms of its performance to rating makes it a successful and beautiful sailboat,” muses Kouyoumdjian.
The visionary Argentinian naval architect has given the ClubSwan range a formidable boost since the CS50 launched in 2016. That was followed by the CS36 , the CS125 Skorpios (both of which have foils), the CS80 My Song, and now the CS28 and this CS43 both launching this season. He says the CS43’s hull is 500-700kg lighter yet 1.5m longer than its typical competitor.
Note the tidy deck layout and angles – top ergonomics
A novel feature, designed to suit those owners optimising their boat for ORC racing, is that the keel has a pocket in the top of the bulb to adjust the ballast without changing the whole keel (see page 84). This L-shaped keel is very thin at the leading edge, a high aspect shape to provide lift going upwind, and the design team calculates this will create much less leeway than a T-keel.
Another clever addition is to be found in the rig. The standard carbon mast is heavily raked with running backstays and a contemporary square-top mainsail for optimum performance in one-design racing. However, the masthead crane can be changed out to use a pinhead mainsail and fixed backstay, which is more practical when cruising. This fitting attaches with two pins, so you don’t need to de-rig the boat and can just hoist someone aloft.
“We spent a lot of time to simplify like this to swap from one configuration to another,” says head of sports activities Federico Michetti, who spearheaded the CS43 project.
Admittedly, I find the lines very cool indeed, with the flared aft sections, reverse sheer, chamfered coachroof and modern deck angles setting off an appealing, aggressive and sporty tone.

Good and bad surprises
Why have I harked on about the design and concept before describing what it’s like to sail? Because there’s an anti-climax looming… the first boat hadn’t quite been finished in time to give it a full test during our yard visit in June – we only managed a quick introductory sail, hence why this is only a ‘First Look’.
Ours were the very first sea trials of the first hull to launch. Although Swan had tried to finish as much of the interior as possible, it was certainly not complete (the aft cabins had no doors, the heads were unfinished and the sole boards were yet to be fitted). The bigger issue was that the sails had been held up in customs in Denmark, so our delivery sails comprised a pinhead main and a high-cut storm jib. Although I pleaded to borrow another yacht’s gennaker, the bowsprit still needed tackline fairleads and a bobstay fitting. So white Dacron sails only it was.
A joy to helm: the CS43 should slice to weather with narrow wetted surface and a keel which minimises leeway
Yet despite the equivalent of furnishing a carbon superbike with mountain bike wheels, we still had a delicious taster. We sailed in the tight confines of the channel to try and harness a confused wind as the light sea breeze began to stifle the offshores. This gave us a tricky yet fun mix of angles with winds gusting up from 8 to 17 knots.
And what a feeling this yacht gives you on the wheel – super direct and smooth! The Jefa steering linkage has a short run aft to a carbon stock and vinylester rudder, a deep, high aspect blade (to match the keel fin), which felt beautifully light and responsive.
Appetite whetter
The ClubSwan 43 proved noticeably quick to accelerate. We averaged 7+ knots upwind at 40° true in 12 knots (another half knot if you bear off 5-8°). Of course, the numbers are somewhat irrelevant with the sails we had and with no offwind options (indeed the polars suggest it should clock 8 knots in such conditions in one-design mode), but the feel and spark were very evident and pointed to genuinely potent capabilities.
Toby on the helm (with Dacron high cut jib).
While it has generous beam carried aft, look at the flare to the aft quarters: it leaves only a narrow wetted surface. It’s a slippery shape that should start planing when reaching in around 12 knots true wind. It will want a full hiking crew to establish how lethal the CS43 is upwind, but my impression is that intelligent use of crew weight, both lateral and fore and aft, could make a telling difference.
The wheel pedestals are twisted, which forces a double take at first, but proved effective as they’re at the ideal angle to grip when heeled and gain the helmsman space. The mainsheet trimmer has a comfortable space between the wheel and German-led mainsheet winch. Traveller control lines are led here to hand via camcleats on the central footbrace, although the endless line joining them can cause a tripping hazard.
The deck design and ergonomics are superb. The angles help to both give the CS43 a modern feel and work in a practical sense. For example, the chamfers on the coachroof make for a comfortable boat to sit up on the side deck or to walk on at heel, while a hiking crew will be grateful for the angled toerail join.
A compact galley but plenty of saloon and accomodation space in a smartly designed interior. Many of the panels are removable
Michetti is particularly happy with these ergonomics, especially those that help crew to feel safe at heel. The SeaDek foam decking in the cockpit is comfortable and grippy underfoot, the moulded-in non-slip decks effective, and there is a sturdy central longitudinal footbrace for crewmembers in the cockpit.
The winch layout is also well considered, particularly for racing. The coachroof winches have free spinning bases for cross-sheeting, and the runner winches are neatly set into the decks, again on an angle. The runners blocks are quite far inboard on the transom, but Michetti explains that the boom will never be eased too far with the apparent wind angles it will race at. The jib sheets lead through transverse tracks to give a very tight sheeting angle, while the running rigging runs through slanted grooves in the coachroof.
A lot of experience and forethought has gone into these details.
Keel pocket allows simple change of ballast weight
More clues to its raceboat focus include having the main and jib halyards on locks, which helps reduce mast compression, and the numbered gauges on the foam decking for the traveller. Making full use of the reverse sheer, the foredeck ramps down into a well to make the forestay attachment as low as possible.
The spacious cockpit has low backrests and short benches. In cruising mode there’s the option for a removable table and box seats to join the cockpit benches. A windlass can be fitted in the anchor locker and the bowsprit can be swapped with two bolts for a shorter version that includes twin anchor rollers.
Reverse sheer and flared aft quarters give an aggressive look
Clean styling
Below decks has a light, open feel, with good volumes and large aft cabins. Lucio Micheletti has done a good job with the minimalist interior styling and it is more cruising yacht than stripped-back raceboat. That said, the yard has gone to painstaking lengths to ensure it can be stripped without ruining the boat. Cork panels are used on the hull sides, for example, for noise insulation but they’re Velcroed-on so can be removed for racing.
There will be an option to close off the forward berth
In fact, pretty much anything that can be removable is, including the saloon table, the aft bed boards, the water tank bladders, even the headlining. This amounts to over 200kg in furniture and fittings.
The concept of stripping a luxury yacht may seem baffling but Michetti explains how competitive boats racing in ORC today all do this and are ‘bastardised’ with fake interiors and furniture. Hence it makes sense to design-in as many removable fittings as possible. For Swan’s one-design racing programme, yachts will have to have their interiors fitted. So this is a truly transformable model.
It’s also a practical wash down, wipe clean type interior, so should be able to handle spinnaker drops without ruining the finish. A string drop system can be fitted, led back to a block in the aft cabin so you can suck a kite in through the forward hatch. All deck hatch drainage is outside via neat wells on deck and it’s a deck-stepped mast, so the interior should stay dry.

The hatch on the forward watertight bulkhead opens to access the forepeak and chain locker. There will be an option to close off the forward berth with sliding doors, and Swan was still deciding whether to add headlinings in the aft cabins (which will also have fabric wardrobes). The CS43 is built using vacuum-infused vinylester with carbon reinforcements, a high modulus carbon Axxon rig, and a carbon bowsprit.

The ClubSwan 43 costs a whopping €820,000, yet the first three were signed before this first hull launched (the larger sister CS50 is €600,000 more and costs more to run, yet has sold nearly 30). So while this just might be one of the coolest new yachts I’ve sailed, for that exotic price it needs to be near perfect. And I can’t tell you if it is... yet. I can only say it’s got huge potential. Its pricing will render it a product for the lucky few, but that’s buying into the exclusive, unrivalled world of Swan’s regatta and one-design circuits. The Nautor badge will also carry a lot of weight in terms of aftersales value. Our sail was a mere amuse-bouche, when I’d have loved to try the full taster menu. While it was frustrating for Swan and us not to be able to sail it to its potential, I can say that there are very, very few yachts that feel this good on the wheel without even being set up properly! I eagerly await a re-run.

Prestigious Swan Yacht Club is under investigation over four boat pens built on the river without the approval of the Swan River Trust.
