With spring kicking in we have seen group numbers swell from 8 regular sailors up to 14 on our best day. Just to give you all a snap shot of what a Wednesday sailing session is like, Our group is mostly made up from Opua school kids. Their bell rings at 3:00pm and somehow they manage to run around the back of the school, down the bank and magically appear at the youth shed at 1 min and 30 seconds past 3pm. Their bags get dumped in the back corner of the shed and a frenzied claiming of favourite boats begins. We pull out the Opua chase boat and hook it up to my green ute. I launch the chase boat and the kids start rigging, (thank goodness they can all do it themselves now) mums and dads remind them how to tie bowlines and they reach up high to deliver optimist masts to the awaiting sailors. We have a short briefing, decide if the tide is going to make sailing easy or hard today and we plan either drills and games, races or a destination sail depending on conditions. (The beginnings of trip planning and awareness of the conditions around them) Just as the kids trundle their boats down the ramp there is an second wave of sailors who arrive. some sprinting down the hill from the bus stop and other swept up by parents in cars. They grab the trapeze harnesses off the back of my ute and rig up while I escort the younger sailors out to the harbour and the freedom from their parents!!! As you can see once we are on the water its all about building confidence and having fun. Most of the learning happens during games or on an adventure sail, there are challenges like; “I bet you can’t stand up and sail”, followed by “yes I can.” And hey presto we are working on balance, coordination and being able to steer the boat whilst completing another task. There is heaps of capsizing almost never as a result of bad sailing, just a chance for a dip in the still very cold water. Tell Tales | 5 YOUTH SAILING Robbs Hielkema When we come ashore the parents and sailors take it upon themselves to wash and pack away their boats. In the last 2 months this has happened without any coach intervention and there is a real sense of accomplishment as the sailors are becoming pretty self suffi cient. As I retrieve the chase boat and wash it down, the kids get dry and we meet at the end for a debrief. Th e fi nal hurdle of the night is to back the chase boat into the shed with parents on each side of the door waving their arms in diff erent directions we carefully manoeuvre the boat with 3mm clearance on either side back into the safety of the Opua junior sailing shed. See you all again next Wednesday. If you or someone you know fancies a bit of that action then see later in this edition on how to get started and the various ‘Learn to Sail’ pathways available to children and young people through the Youth Training section of the club.

Michigan Fleet 38 has hosted national championships in 2015, 2009, and 2001. Bob designed banners for events and signs which have been used at boat shows and regattas. He was instrumental getting the Interlake in the finals of the Sears Junior Championships in 2014. Bob has always been the “go to” guy at Traverse City.

  • An Ambivalent Ground: Re-Placing Australian Literature
    An Ambivalent Ground: Re-placing Australian Literature James Paull A Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of the University of New South Wales 2007 PLEASE TYPE THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW SOUTH WALES Thesis/Dissertation Sheet Surname or Family name: PAULL First name: JAMES Other name/s: CAMPBELL Abbreviation for degree as given in the University calendar: PhD School: English, Media and Performing Arts Faculty: Arts Title: An Ambivalent Ground: Re-placing Australian Literature Abstract 350 words maximum: (PLEASE TYPE) Narratives of place have always been crucial to the construction of Australian identity. The obsession with identity in Australia betrays longstanding uncertainty. It is not difficult to interpret in this uncertainty a replaying of the deeper insecurities surrounding the settler community's legal and more broadly cultural claims to the land. Such insecurities are typically understood negatively. In contrast, this thesis accepts the uncertainty of identity as an activating principle, appropriate to any interpretation of the narratives and themes that inform what it means to be Australian. Fundamental to this uncertainty is a provisionality in the post-colonial experience of place that is papered over by misleadingly coherent spatial narratives that stem from the imperial inheritance of Australian mythology. Place is a model for the tension between the coherence of mythic narratives and the actual rhizomic formlessness of daily life. Place is the ‘ground’ of that life, but an ambivalent ground. An Ambivalent Ground approaches postcolonial Australia as a densely woven text. In this text, stories that describe the founding of a nation are enveloped by other stories, not so well known, that work to transform those more familiar narratives.

  • The Telltale
    COLUMBIA SAILING CLUB FEBRUARY 2015 the Telltale History of a Long Boat…Solera Charles Calhoun There are many boats on our property. Some are for the excitement of racing and some for the pleasure of cruising. Some are new and some show some age. But there’s one that is over 85 years old and has a racing PHRF rating of 156 as compared to a J24 rating of 168, or a J27 with a 126, or an Ultimate 20 rated 144. Keep in mind the lower the rating the faster the boat. That boat is named Solera and is owned by Bruce Seiffert. The original designer and builder, Starling Burgess, the son of the designer of three America’s Cup yachts, was a gunner’s mate in the Spanish-American War, invented a new type of machine gun, wrote three books of poetry while a Harvard, and opened a shipyard in Marblehead in 1905. In 1910 He built the first airplane to fly in New England, went on to build the first licensed aircraft company in America, built the first seaplane to take off and land on water and later designed a three wheeled car which according to many looked more like an egg than a car. In 1928 Burgess’s creativity lead him to build a 30 foot boat which he called the Atlantic. His marketing skills produced 80 orders which were racing the next summer. By 1930 the first fleet of 100 Atlantics was formed. Solera was given to young George Franklin as a high school graduation gift in 1929 and over a decade proved to be one of the premiere boats in her class winning club championships in 1930, 31, 33, 34, 35, 38, and (continued on page 7) PAGE 1 COLUMBIA SAILING CLUB FEBRUARY 2015 At The Helm Commodore J.C.
