On Another Tack…. The Thirsty Sailor. A thirsty sailor runs from his boat to the nearest bar and shouts to the bar- tender, "Give me twenty shots of your best scotch, quick!" The bartender pours out the shots, and the sailor drinks them as fast as he can. The bartender is very impressed and exclaims, "Wow. I never saw anybody drink that fast." The sailor replies, "Well, you'd drink that fast too, if you had what I have." The bartender says, "Oh my God! What is it? What do you have ?" "Fifty cents !"

A special vote of thanks was also made to Rosco Bennett (Secretary) on his service to the association over the last year, Rosco invests a significant amount of time in support of the ARYA and I also thank Rosco personally for his support. Thank you to all of you who made it to Adelaide to support the na- tional events, I look forward to seeing you all again in the near future. Until next time….. Sean Wallis From The Secretary ince the last Radio Waves, we have been busy on a few fronts. The International Radio SSailing Association (IRSA) has tak- en a lot of our time. We have nominated Selwyn Holland for the secretary position and Glenn Daw- son for the Oceania reps position. We also nominated Graham Ban- tock for the Technical committee chairman position. There has also been a motion from Britain to change the terms and number of IRSA meetings. Germany has proposed an amendment and after discus- sion, Australia has seconded the amendment. The final voting on these positions has not occurred at the time of print. There has also been plenty of discussion re the proposed IRSA chang- es to 10R, A Class and Marblehead class rules. This discussion has been lively and at this stage, most seem to be against some of the Mar—Jun 2016 Page 7 fundamental changes. The hottest issue is the allowing of multiple certificated in the Ten Rater class. ARYA has three ranking periods open at the moment. And one has recently closed. Lindsay Walker will be representing Australia at the 2016 IOM European Championships in Vitoria, Spain in June. We all wish him fair winds for the regatta. We have six skippers nominated for the Marblehead worlds in Italy in September and eight skippers nominated for the Ten Rater worlds also in Italy in Oct. We still don’t know how many positions we will be assigned so good luck to all of those skippers for the Australian cham- pionships in Adelaide. We will also give all states as much notice as possible of the closing dates of expressions of interest as soon as a New from Hales Micro: Surface Mount Block SMB-1 Blocks are supplied with two 2mm stainless steel washers, two plastic 2mm flange washers, a plastic 3mm washer and a M2 x 12mm stainless steel bolt and nut.

However, hopefully there is enough information here to enable you to find out more information where I have not covered the boat that interests you.
