Commodore's Letter of Introduction to the MYC Handbook for 1988 Dear Commodore’s Letter of introduction to the MYC Handbook for 1988 Dear Member On May 30th, 1938 Bryan Andrews convened the meeting which resulted in the formation of the Mumbles Yacht Club. Now, fifty years later, we can look back on the progress made since that time and the success we have had in meeting the aspirations of the past, the present and future members and in following the Club's objectives of "encouraging yacht cruising and racing ...... and the provisioning of suitable accommodation for the use and benefit of members". Over the years various aspects of our sport have flourished and then diminished. During the '60s dinghy racing grew to be the main club activity. A mid week turnout for the club racing programme could exceed sixty boats. There followed a boom in cruiser racing. Boat numbers grew. The creation of the Yacht Haven solved the Mumbles mooring problems and contributed to the sustained growth in cruiser ownership. Then, as now, a large proportion of the cruiser owning membership had a prime interest in family cruising and day sailing. At the other end of the scale the fast growing sport of boardsailing has engaged the interest of young and not so young sailors. Of late the club has engaged in a policy of hosting, for various National class associations, major prestige events. Not least of the attractions for such guest bodies are the facilities afforded by the commodious club premises created and established so many years ago. Since 1979 the club has hosted two National, two World Dinghy Championships, one International Regatta and two National Boardsailing Championships. Through the fifty years of it's existence the club and it's membership has enjoyed the benefits of the hard work and dedication of a large number of workers. At this time I would like to make special reference to Mrs. Meg Stephens who has served the club as executive committee member, club secretary and latterly chairman and president of the ladies committee. A total term of service of some forty years. In passing I record that the ladies committee was formally organised in 1959 and has always rendered invaluable support. John Parfitt has given stalwart service for forty years -first as an executive committee member and for the last fourteen years as club secretary. This edition of the Handbook has been extended to include some historical and reminiscent content relating to the whole subject of sailing and racing in Swansea Bay. The narrative tries to stay close to the subject of people, past and present, and what they did and do in pursuit of our common interest in the sport and pastime of sailing - the reason for our coming together as members of the Mumbles Yacht Club. In this our fiftieth year we have a special programme of social events to celebrate the anniversary. On the water the major cruising event is the Cork Week and for the dinghy classes the GP14 and Laser Welsh Area Championships. I wish you all a full and fulfilling club year and good sailing. Commodore SAILING AND RACING IN SWANSEA BAY EARLY TIMES In the early nineteenth century numerous sailing matches were contested in the bay. In 1807 Swansea Pilot boats raced over a course from the harbour entrance to Mumbles and back. The event aroused great interest with numerous spectator boats lining the course. Sailing matches were regularly held through the summers of 1819 to 1828. Pilot boats comprised the main class with entries from Cardiff, Neath and Newport participating. There is a record of a return match being scheduled to take place at Penarth. Spectator interest was well maintained. On one occasion the Bristol-Swansea steam packet cruised the bay during the whole of one regatta day, permitting those willing to purchase tickets the opportunity to enjoy 'both the scenery of the delightful Bay and the manoeuvres of the boats'. Adding to the enjoyment of all, colours were hoisted on vessels, and on shore bands were playing. All this activity on the water was only part of a wide range of pleasurable diversions created and organised at a time when Swansea had aspirations to be a fashionable resort and tourist attraction rather than a trading town. During the second half of the nineteenth century the annual summer regattas were attracting entries of up to thirty boats. The majority were skiffs rigged with bowsprit, foresail and jib. The Bristol Channel Yacht Club was founded in 1875 and ran it's first regatta in June of that year. The classes raced were boats under 12 tons and boats over 12 tons. In 1890 the club commissioned ALERT and ALARM, the black and white yachts. These two well known boats were regularly sailed and campaigned until the 1920's Both were broken up and lost in 1926 In 1896 the BCYC sponsored and organised the first 'Royal' Regatta when the Royal Yacht BRITANNIA raced against the Emperor of Germany's METEOR and other J class yachts. During the event METEOR was dismasted. In 1909 the Town Authorities and the BCYC organised a regatta with a programme and prize list catering for six classes of yachts, trawlers and local small boats. Another event of note was the 1913 regatta jointly organised by the BCYC and the Mumbles Sailing Club. The entry included NORADA, MARQUITA, ISTRIA, BEATRICE, HYACINTH, EILEEN, and ZIMITA. The entry for the 1926 regatta included SHAMROCK, WHITE HEATHER, WESTWARD, and BRITANNIA. The Swansea Bay and Bristol Channel Yacht Clubs jointly organised the 1929 June Regatta. The entry for Race 1 was SHAMROCK, WHITE HEATHER, CAMBRIA, ASTRA and LULWORTH. The entry for Race 3 included PAMELA, helmed by Alfred Ley, and KELPIE, helmed by William Davies. In Race 4 the two boats entered were A. Williams' ELSIE and W. Symns' KINGFISHER. The regatta programme included swimming and rowing events and motor boat racing. Both PAMELA and KELPIE were commissioned and campaigned by Alfred Ley. They were regularly manned by members of the Mumbles Lifeboat crew and competed in events as far away as Anglesey. PAMELA'S Indian silk light weather sails were an example of the technology of the time. She was eventually lost on the rocks in Fishguard harbour. KELPIE passed into other hands and was eventually purchased by Bryan Andrews in 1934. MUMBLES YACHT CLUB Whilst sailing and racing activities continued through the thirties there was a lack of collective effort to encourage, maintain and improve the level of competition and no organisation to cater for the widening interest in sailing and the desire to participate in the sport. Bryan Andrews convened a meeting at the Pilot Hotel on May 30 1938, with a view to creating a club dedicated to promoting and encouraging regular racing cruising and allied activities. Thirty-five signatures appear on the attendance register for the inaugural meeting. On June 1 letters and proposal forms were circulated to all interested parties inviting enrolment for membership in the MUMBLES YACHT CLUB and requesting payment of a [half-a-crown, (2s 6d)] 12½p annual subscription. Headquarters was established at the Pilot Hotel. The first Commodore and the holder of membership card No. 1 was F.H. Treharne Thomas. The first committee comprised Messrs. Leyshon David, William Davies, N.W. Fischer, F.M.Morgan, Douglas Probert, W.W.Ward and Albert Williams together with the treasurer Trevor Evans and secretary Bryan Andrews. With a race organisation quickly established , a full racing programme was enjoyed throughout the 1938 season .The club racing fleet comprised the following :- Class 1. (over 20ft o/a.) Class 2. (under 20 ft o/a.) BARRACUDA Joe Worstall, Mendi Morgan, Campbell Johnson & John Varley CARLOTTA ELSIE A.E.J.Williams KATHLEEN A. McFarlane & HAPPY CHANCE. W. Morgan KELPIE Bryan Andrews OSPREY A.G.Bishop LUCY T. Evans NAOMI SHEARWATER J.C.Jeremiah PORCUS II E.R. Eaton VANNA S.H. Treharne Thomas SHRANGRHILA SILVER MIST The five set club courses included one offshore configuration 17 miles long. Light weather racing required the use of topsails, balloon staysails and jib topsails. Bill Simmons usually presided as Race Officer. One difficulty and restriction to mooring boats in Mumbles has been the lack of protection from strong easterly weather. This has always limited the expansion of sailing in the area. This was highlighted in May 1938 by Bryan Andrews by way of a letter to the S.W. Evening Post together with two very illuminating sketches of boats moored off Southend with and without a protective breakwater. His plea that "the authorities must use a little foresight and look beyond the objective of direct return on capital outlay. A little reflection would show that the indirect benefit from the improvement of facilities at Southend would be immeasurable", has never been answered. The club racing programme restarted in the spring of 1939 but ceased with the outbreak of war. KELPIE was recommissioned in the spring of 1940 and during the period of the phoney war engaged in a little gentle cruising - complete with Admiralty identification number. The boat was left on a Mumbles mooring, in the care of a local boatman, when the owner went away to war. During his absence KELPIE was lost. During the war another founding member David Gwyn Johns kept a watching brief on the club's affairs, in 1946 the club was re-activated with J.C.Leader being elected Commodore, Bryan Andrews Secretary and D.Gwyn Johns Treasurer. The headquarters was again in the 'back room' of the Pilot Hotel. Later a move was made to the Mermaid Hotel. A small hut on the 'promenade' served to accommodate the Race Officer and the necessary equipment.

  • Current Guidelines and Regulations for Whale
    A REVIEW OF WHALE WATCH GUIDELINES AND REGULATIONS AROUND THE WORLD VERSION 2009 Carole Carlson Provincetown Center for Coastal Studies, Provincetown, MA. USA College of the Atlantic, Bar Harbour, Maine USA GUIDELINES FOR COMMERCIAL CETACEAN-WATCHING ACTIVITIES IN THE ACCOBAMS AREA Point 1 Scope of the Guidelines The ACCOBAMS Guidelines presented here address those cetacean-watching activities carried out for commercial purposes and subject to the jurisdiction of the Parties to ACCOBAMS. The Guidelines relate to all marine activities where funds are being generated from whale or dolphin watching and this may include research activities that have a commercial component 1. They are intended to serve as a framework for the development of more detailed guidelines by national and regional authorities 2 at a local level. The ACCOBAMS Guidelines should be used to identify what issues need to be addressed and how this may be appropriately done. Variations on this framework will be required to cater for different species 3, different geographical considerations and differences in other human activities within the area where whale watching is occurring or planned to occur. 1 This is one issue where the appropriate authorities should decide the scope of activities to be included within the guidelines. The options are a. All marine activities that include whale or dolphin watching as a means of raising funds, including all commercial and research activities; or b. All marine activities that include whale or dolphin watching as a means of raising funds, including all commercial activities but excluding primarily research activities, which should be separately licensed, perhaps by a special permit system.

  • Cadet Dinghy
    Cadet Dinghy “Viking” Appendix 2 THE CADET SQUADRON In the early 1930's, Cadet Members of the R.G.Y.C. competed in a conglomeration of small craft. Ern Armstrong recalls that when he joined the club in 1933, the cadet section was comprised of the 12 foot cadets, "Firey Cross", owned and sailed by John Boocock, on which Ern sailed for the last three races of the season and "Viking", owned by Tal and Jim Searle, "Tasma", a flat-bottomed ,low wooded hull approximately 14feet long, owned by the Club, "Teddy bear", a half-decked rather heavy boat owned by Geoff Wood, and "Westra", a semi-decked 12 foot cadet, owned by the McAllisters. At that time the boat storage shed was approximately 40 feet by 30 feet fronting the roadway outside the club opposite Transvaal Square, about in line with the eastern end of the present Junior Squadron clubhouse. In about 1935, two 14 foot boats were added to the fleet. These were "Mulluka", owned by Chick Fleet Snr., and sailed by Jim Ritchie and "NV", a 14footer with narrow beam and a high aspect mainsail built and skippered by Norm Wray. And two more 12 foot cadet dinghies were also added to the fleet, "Caress", built and skippered by Bob Curnow and "Dolphin ", owned and skippered by Wally Wiggs. About this time the Cadet section acquired half of the Sea Scout's shed owned by Mr. Ev Hurst, now the tender dinghy storage shed. This move avoided the long lift from the original shed on the roadway.

  • Portsmouth Number List 2016
    Portsmouth Number List 2016 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 typical performance of each boat across a variety of clubs and locations. Experimental numbers are based on fewer returns and are to be used as a guide for clubs to allocate as a starting number before reviewing and adjusting where necessary. The list of experimental Portsmouth Numbers will be periodically reviewed by the RYA and is based on data received from the PY Online website (www.pys.org.uk). Users of the PY scheme are reminded that all Portsmouth Numbers published by the RYA should be regarded as a guide only. The RYA list is not definitive and clubs should adjust where necessary.
