  • Did You Know Flying Dutchman Class/Ben Lexcen/Bob Miller
    DID YOU KNOW The late Ben Lexcen designer of the famous “winged keel” on “Australia II,” was an RQYS Member from 1961 to 1968. When skippered by John Bertrand in 1983, “Australia II” became the first non - American yacht to win the America’s Cup in its then 132 year history. Bill Kirby FLYING DUTCHMAN CLASS/BEN LEXCEN/BOB MILLER In 1958, the Royal Queensland Yacht Club introduced the International Flying Dutchman Olympic Class two - man dinghy into its fleet. Commodore the late John H “Jock” Robinson announced in his Annual Report for the year that the striking of a levy to assist Australian Olympic Yachting at the 1964 Games at Naples had been approved unanimously. The 1961 – 1962 Australian Champions in the International Flying Dutchman Class were Squadron Members Craig Whitworth, skipper and Bob Miller, forward hand sailing in the “AS Huybers.” The boat was made available for Craig and Bob to sail via efforts of the late Past Commodore Alf Huybers, a well - known businessman of the time in Brisbane and proprietor of Queensland Pastoral Supplies. I was told recently by Bill Wright of Norman R Wright & Sons that Bob Miller was apprenticed as a Sailmaker to his Uncle, Norman J Wright, at the Florite sail loft run by George Manders and seamstress Mrs Lauman. Norman J Wright taught Bob Miller basic yacht design and they teamed up to design the first 3 Man 18 foot skiff “Taipan.” That was closely followed by the World Champion 18 Footer, “Venom” and I was also told by Bill the rig plan of “Taipan” and “Venom” closely followed that of a Flying Dutchman.

    8th 17 1837-2014 Australia Day Regatta Endorsed by Celebrating 92 YEARS OF BUILDING SUCCESS www.awedwards.com.au White Bay Cruise Terminal RAS Main Arena (Skoda Stadium) Newington College Liverpool Courthouse 8th 17 From the President This has been a time of double celebration for Sydney Harbour. In early October 2013, the International Fleet Review, which hosted ships from twenty nations, was a spectacular celebration of the 100th anniversary of the establishment of the Royal Australian Navy and commemorated the arrival of the first seven ships on 4 October 1913. Today’s celebration on Australia Day reminds us of our history, honours those who contributed to that history and celebrates the foundation of our nation. In doing so, we acknowledge the first Australians and pay respect to the Gadigal and Cammeragil people, recognising them as having been fine custodians of Sydney Harbour. On this 178th Australia Day Regatta on Sydney Harbour, hundreds of sailors and their families will participate in a wonderful spectacle on one of the world’s greatest waterways. The Anniversary Regatta, as it was then known, commenced in 1837 just one year after South Australia was proclaimed a colony and before Victoria, Queensland or Tasmania (it was still called Van Diemen’s Land) were formally declared provinces. There is no better way to mark the birth of a nation surrounded by sea and developed through our great maritime heritage than by participating in the Australia Day Regatta. We welcome all those who have entered their craft, large or small, old or new. With the support of our host clubs they will celebrate Australia Day on more than 20 different waterways.

  • On Taking Liberty
    On Taking Liberty: The Role of Emotion in Creating a Mimetic Illusion Ingle Knight BA (Hons) This thesis is presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of Murdoch University I declare that this thesis is my own account of my research and contains as its main content work which has not previously been submitted for a degree that any territory education institution. 2 Abstract Stories need to be told in such a way that they build and sustain a narrative momentum. We tend to think of the story as the art, and the telling of it as the craft of storytelling. The Russian formalists referred to them as the fabula, the stuff of the story, and szujet, the composition of the plot. This thesis is mainly concerned with the szujet, the praxis of telling a story, in the medium of drama. The dramatic performance of a story elicits from an audience a response that has much in common with the way we normally relate with other people. The principle difference between these two situations is with their motivation. We deal with other people for reasons and with motives of our own whereas we deal with dramatic performances for reasons and motives modulated and framed by someone else. These ulterior motives and reasons are usually masked from the audience by the conflict presented to them at the outset of the performance. The conflict evokes an emotional response from the audience and in this way engages them with the unfolding of the performed narrative. The emotional experience of an audience watching a dramatic performance is designed by the dramatist through a complex variety of dramaturgical techniques and devices employed in the narration.

There are not many of this class in Australia and she has been recognised as a Twister by travelling Englishmen. The Holman and Pye design evolved as a larger version of the Danish folk boat design.
