    www.tbyc.org • Edition 5 • April 2011 Spring has finally sprung and we have an abundance of exciting things planned for this year at TBYC! Firstly the Summer Glitter Ball on June 4th has had a huge response, and 170 of you have bought tickets - making it a massive sellout event! So ladies and gentlemen, have your sequins, diamonds and sparkles at the ready for what is guaranteed to be a fantastic night. April will be a busy month, not only for TBYC but also London, with the Royal Wedding on April 29th. We are planning a big Royal Wedding Party on that night with a red, white and blue “Back To The 80's” theme, so don't miss out on one of the biggest parties of the year! Not forgetting the Easter weekend hog roast on Sunday April 24th. Keep your eyes peeled for tickets and ticket discounts for those who buy them for both events. These will be on posters around the club and on the website. Let us know if you have been to any great events elsewhere and would like to see them at TBYC, whether it be a casino night, a cocktail party or beer tasting. Let us know - we would love to have your great ideas! Finally, we are going to start offering a combined ticket booking discount for certain events, like the hog roast and Royal Wedding party, and people who attend the Christmas party will receive a discount on tickets for New Year’s Eve. We hope this will encourage more ticket buying and bookings! Kylie Hello, I would like to introduce myself to you.

  • Vyc Yardsticks
    Yachting Victoria Inc ABN 26 176 852 642 2 / 77 Beach Road SANDRINGHAM VIC 3191 Tel 03 9597 0066 Fax 03 9598 7384 YACHTING VICTORIA YARDSTICKS - 2013-14 Date: 1st Oct 2013 Version: 1.0 INTRODUCTION These yardsticks are prepared to provide the fairest possible calculation of results for mixed fleet racing. New and modified classes appear every year and it is important to gather information and review results as quickly as possible. For dinghy classes there have been no changes to the original Yardsticks published for the 2013/14 season, as results for review have not been forthcoming. In the absence of race results data for dinghy classes and new internationally sourced classes, where there is yardstick data from overseas available, a comparison is made with other international classes to derive an equivalent Yachting Victoria yardstick value. This is explained further down in this document. Fortunately for catamaran classes, there has been significant work done by the Kurnell Catamaran Club in reviewing various catamaran ratings, as well as validating the ratings against the international SCHRS system. This work has now been incorporated into the YV yardsticks for catamaran classes. Much appreciation goes to KCC for this good work. Catamaran yardsticks are now contained in a separate document: “YV - Cat Yardsticks13_14 v1.0” USE OF THE YV YARDSTICKS A club which intends to run a race or event under the Yachting Victoria Yardstick system should include in the Notice of Race and in the Sailing Instructions clauses based on the following: 1 The version of the YV Yardstick System that is to be used in calculating the mixed class fleet racing results.

  • New Materials, New Designs and New Horizons for Velatura, SEIKO's
    March 26, 2009 New materials, new designs and new horizons for Velatura, SEIKO’s marine collection The SEIKO Velatura collection is designed to withstand the most severe challenge that a watch can face, racing on the open ocean. From its launch in 2007, Velatura has offered to the professional sailor an ever-growing selection of marine watches, each with the robustness and functionality required for survival in even the harshest conditions. For 2009, five new creations join the collection, each offering the same high level of specification as their illustrious predecessors. The new screw-down crown ensures 20 bar water resistance. For 2009, SEIKO’s support of the sport of sailing at the very highest level is also expanded. In addition to renewing the agreement with the 49er Association, SEIKO has concluded a new agreement with the 29erXX Association whose new-design skiffs are fast becoming accepted as the most exciting new class for the world’s leading women sailors. This new agreement is celebrated in the launch of a new series of Velatura models for women. SEIKO extends its support of the 49er Class, and begins a partnership with the all-new 29erXX. Ref. RLS0903-03 Page 1 The 2009 Velatura Yachting Timer: Lighter, tougher and even more resistant to the elements The undoubted star of the 2009 Velatura collection is the new Yachting Timer. The new version is even more robust than its 2008 predecessor. The case is made from titanium, covered with a new hard coating. The watch has a new screw-in crown system that ensures water resistance to 20 bar and it features a new combination strap in which leather and ballistic nylon are combined to offer a unique blend of elegance and strength.
