Denn so war doch auch die bisherige Saison, oder nicht?! Doch langsam kommt es zurück, das Wasser, und unsere Boote schwimmen wieder, das Clubleben beginnt wieder etwas in Schwung zu kommen. Nebst dem verspäteten Einwassern und der nachträglichen GV fanden dieses Jahr noch keine Anlässe statt. Aus diesem Grund wird dieses Bul- letin wohl auch entsprechend schlank werden ;) Die guten News aber schonmal vorab: die restliche Saison soll nach ge- plantem Programm stattfinden! Wir freuen uns über eine rege Teilnahme und euch bald wieder zu se- hen! Bleibt gesund und häbet Sorg! Daniela und der Rest vom Vorstand 6 SCNI BULLETIN AUFRUF Helfer gesucht Endlich dürfen wir wieder Segelanlässe durchführen!! - nun fehlen uns dazu noch die nötigen Helfer!

Für folgende Anlässe sind noch Wettfahrtleiter gesucht: • Sommerregatta 8. August • Herbstregatta 5. September • Dinghy-Weekend 3./4. Oktober • Absegeln 17.

Veranstaltungen an Land sollten auch Plastikfrei sein, deshalb haben wir Gläser und Teller fürs Clubhaus organisiert. • Grosse Themen an der Verbandstagung war: Sicherheit auf dem Wasser, Förderung der Jugend und wie kann man sie im Club behalten, Mitgliederschwund und Überalterung in den Clubs. • Partner von Swiss Sailing gewähren zum Teil grosse Rabatte, z.B. Sunrise, weiter siehe https:// www.swiss-sailing.ch/partner/. TBSV • Mit den Mittwochstraining wurde jetzt begonnen. Am 27. Juni startet die erste TBSV-Regatta (TYC Lang- strecke).

Such assistance should be a key service to our members and therefore we are instigating access through a special link on the AYH website. Many of us will have started research in yacht club records and club libraries, which are often haphazard and incomplete.

  • History of Sailing at the Olympic Games
    OSC REFERENCE COLLECTION SAILING History of Sailing at the Olympic Games 19.10.2017 SAILING History of Sailing at the Olympic Games SAILING Paris 1900 Los Angeles 1984 Sydney 2000 Rio 2016 2-3t (Mixed) Flying dutchman (Mixed) Laser (Men) Nacra 17 (Mixed) INTRODUCTION Sailing was planned for the programme of the Games of the I Olympiad in Athens in 1896, but the events were not staged owing to the bad weather. It was then staged for each edition of the Games with the exception of those in St Louis in 1904. Women competed in the mixed sailing events as of 1900. Since the Games of the XXIV Olympiad in Seoul in 1988, some events have been reserved only for them. KEY STAGES Entry 1894: At the Paris Congress held in June, the desire was expressed for nautical sports (rowing, sailing and swimming) to be on the Olympic programme. Windsurfing 1980: At the 83rd IOC Session held in July and August in Moscow, it was decided to add a mixed windsurfing event (windglider) to the programme of the Games of the XXIII Olympiad in Los Angeles in 1984. Women’s 1984: At the IOC Executive Board meeting held in July and August in Los inclusion Angeles, it was decided to add the 470 dinghy event for women to the programme of the Games in Seoul in 1988. EVOLUTION IN THE NUMBER OF EVENTS 1900: 13 events (mixed) 1988: 8 events (1 men's, 1 women's, 6 mixed) 1908-1912: 4 events (mixed) 1992-1996: 10 events (3 men's, 3 women's, 4 mixed) 1920: 14 events (mixed) 2000: 11 events (3 men's, 3 women's, 5 mixed) 1924-1928: 3 events (mixed) 2004-2008: 11 events (4 men's, 4

  • Mid–Year Newsletter June 2014
    Mid–Year Newsletter June 2014 ‘Jezebel’ Antoni Perri’s home built traditional Whitehall design clinker winner of the Inverloch and District Lions Club Perpetual Trophy South Gippsland Yacht Club Commodore With the success of the first of the Classic Wooden Dingy Regattas behind us it is now the time to look to the future of this event. The Regatta has given great exposure to SGYC both in the local community and with sailors near and far but the momentum needs to be kept going. Much of the success of the event was the result of the enthusiastic contributions of the Inverloch and District Lions Club, Inverloch Rotary Club, Inverloch Historical Society, Inverloch and Melbourne business partners, Bass Coast Shire Council, members of South Gippsland and other yacht clubs and wooden dinghy enthusiasts. The Classic Wooden Dinghy Committee, a sub-committee of SGYC, is now looking for ways to attract more boats and a wider public audience for the 2015 Classic Wooden Dingy Regatta. I would encourage any interested club members to involve themselves in the planning by joining the Regatta committee. The future of the SGYC is very important for both myself and club members and an event such as this regatta engages with the community and exposes sailing to the wider public which inturn will attract new members and in particular juniors who are the club’s future. The Regatta’s purpose is to exhibit, on and off the water, examples of wooden dinghies once sailed around Victorian beaches but now quite rare. These classic wooden dinghies would be from the beginning of the 20 century to about 1970.

Thank you Sue CSIRO Alumni WA Chapter Revised June 2013 FOREWORD That science is a profoundly human activity is too often hidden by its neutral outward surface. When we scientists report our work in scientific papers there is frequently a sense of understatement as we strive for objectivity and rigour. Yet science draws from many wellsprings of human creativity and inspiration, as everyone involved in it knows deeply. Sometimes when one of its practitioners stands in front of an audience or a camera and speaks from the heart something may be heard of the exhilaration, but I regret that too little of this wonderment is made evident to those outside our domain.

  • CSC DINGHY SAILING MANUAL February 2021 Introduction
    CSC DINGHY SAILING MANUAL February 2021 Introduction There's no substitute for actual sailing if you want to learn to sail. This booklet is only intended as a technical reference, to reinforce sailing lessons. If you're new to sailing, relax—you're in good company. Most new members of the Cal Sailing Club do not know how to sail when they join. Put this book down until later, and go sailing. Credits Editor: John Bongiovani Author: John Bergmann Change History Anonymous. First published Edition. The club began about a century ago as an offshoot of a loose association of UC students and professors who were interested in sailing. Perhaps there was a manual—who knows? A manual for sailing was put together using a typewriter and hand drawn pictures, distributed in booklet format. The most memorable part was a cartoon telling how to get onto a Lido from the water, showing a shark. Fitting conveniently in a pocket, most copies were turned into pulp during the new owner's first lesson. Sometime in the 1970s. Various minor changes stemming from disputes over gybing and other pettifoggery. Sometime during the disco era. The advent of the computer in revising the manual, but keeping the same organization. Major discovery: pdf's don't fit in pockets. Sometime in the Clinton era. Major revisions to reflect the end of the Lido, which had served the club (poorly) since 1959. Sometime in the Bush II years V11. Joel Brandt June, 2011 Dinghy Manual. Cal Sailing Club February 2021 Page 2 V12 John Bergmann, updated content and format, added detail on the RS Ventures, March, 2016 V13 Made corrections, added content on Quests, added more figures, and added a table of figures.
