  • Historical Portsmouth Number List
    Historical Portsmouth Number List The RYA Portsmouth Yardstick Scheme is provided to enable clubs to allow boats of different classes to race against each other fairly. The RYA actively encourages clubs to adjust handicaps where classes are either under or over performing compared to the number being used. The Portsmouth Yardstick list combines the Portsmouth numbers with class configuration and the total number of races returned to the RYA in the annual return. This additional data has been provided to help clubs achieve the stated aims of the Portsmouth Yardstick system and make adjustments to Portsmouth Numbers where necessary. Clubs using the PN list should be aware that the list is based on the average performance of each boat across a variety of clubs and locations. The numbers in the PN list may not reflect the peak performance of each boat. Historical numbers are listed below and have been collated from the RYA's archive of PN lists. It should be remembered that the Portsmouth Yardstick number list has been through a number of changes and the numbers listed below have had conversion factors applied where needed. It should also be remembered that whilst all efforts are taken for PN's not to drift, relative performance of older boats may be quite different to modern classes. The numbers are given as a starting point to help clubs arrive at a fair number and if these numbers are used then they should be reviewed regularly. Users of the PY scheme are reminded that all Portsmouth Numbers published by the RYA should be regarded as a guide only.

They have been found to contribute to adverse life outcomes (such as poor Adolescent Mental Health (AMH) problems with a educational achievement) and serious disruptions to CYP's lives and those of their families . It is estimated from Office of National Statistics population survey data that, at any one time, four in 100 of CYP, have a focus on Self harm, Eating Disorders and Anxiety and clinically diagnosable or relevant emotional disorder (anxiety or depression). Some disorders such as anxiety may start when children are as young as 11 years. Earlier age of onset appears to be associated with Depression) greater severity and poorer long term outcomes . Concerns are heightened by the persistence of childhood or adolescent mental health issues into adulthood where up to a fifth of the adult population may be affected by a common mental disorder at any one time. Many of these conditions are managed in primary care and there are issues about the transition of care between primary and hospital care and appropriate settings to deliver care to children. There are also issues relating to those that do make contact but are lost to services from childhood to adulthood and between primary care and hospital care.

  • Broadreach July 2016
    Broadreach July 2016 Broadwater Sailing Club Affiliated to the RYA A large fleet of Miracles in some close racing at the Broadwater Open Meeting held in April Club sailors, John, Barry and Stewart ...neck and neck... Editorial Another summer is well underway and it’s great to see the lake as busy as ever. Spring saw several open meetings which allows the club to welcome guests from all parts of the country and try not to let them leave with all the prizes. So, we have reports from the regular Solo and Miracle events and also from the club’s very first Aero meeting. All these events were blessed with good weather, decent numbers and excellent organisation, which all helps to ensure that sail- ors have a nice time at the club and return the following year. Besides the racing events we have several pieces about our little piece of Middlesex. One article on the factors that affect the depth of our lake (courtesy of Dave Weatherhead), another on mapping the buoys and the creation of a smart new course board by our resident engineer and craftsman, Peter Joseph. Finally, we have a picture and a short piece about HS2 which I’m pleased to say shouldn’t impact us too much when they finally start work on it (assuming it gets approval later this year). Our regular member profile slot is about someone well known to many, especially if you’ve been a member for some time. Wolfgang Ansorge has a fun story to tell, particularly about how his passion for sailing has definitely been passed down to his children (after a shaky start) - something most parents would certainly like to emulate.

  • Mainsheet April 2008.Pub
    APRIL 2008 www.nssc.org.uk Racing has started for the hardy at Seaford. And I mean ‘hardy’. I can’t remember sailing off the beach in sleet and snow before! Hopefully it will have warmed up a bit by the time you read this. The work party weekends were a great success, with both sites looking much better thanks to the efforts of a pleasingly large number of workers. It made me start thinking just how many members are doing jobs around the place beyond the normal weekend duties. I won’t mention names, but these jobs include (but are by no means limited to): Bosuns’ team, maintenance of the buildings, berthing, disposing of abandoned boats, bar management, instructors, club house cleaning, school boat maintenance, site maintenance, mainsheet publication/distribution, duty rotas, sailing programs, administration, accounts, web site, training, social events, publicity, grass cutting, cadet organisation, people who carry a toolbox in the car just in case something needs fixing, etc. etc. etc.. Thanks to everyone for all the time you put in. It really is appreciated. The Open Day on 19th April needs more help from the members. We are opening up to members of the public to show them some of the attraction of sailing and our club in particular. If you can help during the day taking people for trial sails, displaying your boat, manning a side show for an hour or two or just be around to chat to visitors, your help would be very welcome. Also we need posters displayed beforehand in local shops and car windows.
