Elsegood (5158, NICKY S.A.) take their Herons out to the start of a Heat in the 9th National Championships. January 1968 at St. Kilda, Melbourne. HERON NEWSLETTER, JUNE 1969 Page 1 TIME FOR A CHANGE - PHILLIP ROWE The last A .G.M. brought into office Charlie Hutchings as your new HERON NEWSLETTER EDITOR. This issue is a joint effort and a fantastic issue it is - quite the biggest editorial work ever completed by the Y.W.H.S.A. and something I am extremely proud to havehad a hand in. For me this is also a somewhat nostalgic occasion since I have sold my Heron and purchased a larger boat and hence my Heron sailing has come to an end, for the time being, at any rate. I have sailed a Heron now for nearly five years, three in Melbourne and two in Sydney and say with all sincerity that the Heron has been part of my family all that time, at least it has been pampered, nourished and loved as part of the family and at times has shared the living room and oil heater with us during bi-ennial spruce-ups. Not that there has not at times been friction about the Heron-, possibly because my first Heron arrived home the same day as our first child came home from hospital and my wife's attitude to priorities ever since has been coloured by that fact. However, our lives were dram- atically transformed from the first day we started sailing our Heron. Three years later when moving to Sydney we had so many friends as a result of our Heron sailing we found it very difficult to make the decision to leave. Of course we all know that one of the Heron's chief attractions is its family participation characteristics but this means different things to different people. For example, to some it means taking the children as crew during races but this is something I have never been able to do since my oldest is not yet five years. To me family participation means meeting adults of a similar age and inclination as far as sailing is concerned and enjoying the friendships that arise. - THIS IS ONE OF THE GREAT STRENGTHS OF THE HERON ASSOCIATION - you see it every- where, the same hard core of members at clubs and in the Association who turn up week after week, year after year. It is not just the Heron sailing which is the attraction, but it is the Heron which has brought the people together and will bold them together. So much for the hard core of membership but what about those who come and go. We know that there is a large annual turnover of members and one cannot help forming the im- pression that perhaps a little more could be done by everyone in helping new Heroners to assimilate. It is very easy to chat to your friends on the beach but takes a little more effort to go out of your way to welcome the newcomer. Perhaps this is because we think the Heron's attractions are self evident and no longer need to be promoted so vigorously, and as a consequence membership will continue to grow regardless - PLEASE DO NOT BE DECEIVED - THE SIGNS ARE THERE. Membership rate of growth has not been sustained in some states; competition from other classes is stronger and new materials are winning favour over plywood panels. It is not the winning of new members each year which is the problem, it is the retaining of old ones. AN INTRODUCTION - YOUR NEW EDITOR Redheaded, Fat (the more polite people say stout) and Forty Sailing experience - meagre. Had tremendous fun building a Heron in 1966; more fun in 1967 - learning how to keep the darn thing upright in any breeze over five knots; and still more fun in 1968 and 1969 when the penny finally dropped. Sails with Middle Harbour Heron Sailing Club, Sydney and was incidentally presented by his club at the Annual Prize-giving with a large jar of pickled onions for his pickling feats during the 1967 - 1968 season. Crewing services supplied by a 13 year old daughter and a 10 year old son, who once mutinied when an exasperated father, in demonstrating the fastest and best way of setting the whisker pole missed and poked the sharp end into his ear. • Persuaded to accept the Editorship by our President so as to represent the large number of Heroners who are relatively new to the sport and the boat itself. So please remember, its from members with backgrounds similar to that above - in other words, the mugs - that articles and queries on the boat and the sport are earnestly solicited. This then, combined with the wonderful information and advice that has always been so readily forthcoming from the more experienced and skilful members, will continue to make our News- letter a pleasure to receive. May I look forward to help from you all? CHARLES HUTCHINGS HERON NEWSLETTER, JUNE 1969 Page 2 PRESIDENT'S REPORT 1968-69 Last year, when I presented my first Presidential report to you, by reason of the timing of the issue of the Year Book, I was spared the need to speak to you at length - and you were spared the need to listen. This year, in view of the fact that the next issue of Heron Newsletter will be the Year Book issue, neither you nor I are lucky - it will be necessary for you to listen to me. It seems such a short time since I set out to write that first report that I am at a loss to know what I can say to add to it. It was, in fact, a report generated and accumulated over several years as General Secretary and said most of the things which I had long wanted to ram down the throats of a captive audience. Looking back on the 1968-69 season, it was, of course, a short year - it is only nine months since our last Annual General Meeting, a meeting at which we took the step of moving forward the Association administrative year, so as to make it fit more neatly and conveniently into the Yachting Year - so as to give the outgoing Committee the chance to give its report while its memories were fresh - so as to give the incoming workers more time, huddled round room heaters, to plan activities for balmier days.

Drawings © Peter Nicolson 1970. Baragoola in the 1980s, in her final years as a government-operated ferry. (Tony Prescott) INTRODUCTION The popular image of the Manly ferry during the present century has very much evolved around the "class" (to use a naval term loosely) of six very similar double-ended screw steamers built for the Port Jackson Co-operative Steamship Co. Ltd. and the Port Jackson and Manly Steamship Co. Ltd. between 1905 and 1922. These six steamers were to be eclipsed in size, speed, accommodation and glamour by the Scottish-built Dee Why and Curl Curl of 1928 (The Log, May 1977) and South Steyne of 1938 (The Log, August 1983, November 1983). However, the smaller boats were to prove more economically practical in the long-term and two of them, both to be described in this article, are still in service while the Scottish boats have been withdrawn. Up to the early years of this century, the Port Jackson company operated a fleet consisting almost entirely of paddle steamers. The reason for the relatively late transition to screw propulsion lay in the necessity of using double-ended ships due to the configuration of Sydney Harbour with its many coves and the difficulties of turning in the Circular Quay terminus. Smaller double-ended ferries had been found to operate quite successfully with screw propulsion, but the Manly service had speed and heavy weather requirements which necessitated fine bows on the ships.

    The Royal Institution of Naval Architects and Lloyd’s Register Given their common roots in the UK maritime industry, it is not surprising that throughout the 150 years in which the histories of both organisations have overlapped, many members of the Institution have held important positions within Lloyd’s Register. Such connections can be traced back to 1860, when the joint Chief Surveyors, Joseph Horatio Ritchie and James Martin were two of the 18 founding members of the Institution. The Lloyd’s Register Historian, Barbara Jones, has identified others who either worked for Lloyd’s Register in some capacity, or who sat on its Committees, and had a direct connection with the Institution of Naval Architects, later to become the Royal Institution of Naval Architects.

The answer is very low since the Arctic is quite often overcast. But nothing stops a serious eclipse chaser, even if the chances of seeing the eclipse are slim. Today’s eclipse chasers manage to travel nearly anywhere in the world to some of the most remote locations, viewing eclipses from land (or ice), on the ocean, on mountain tops, or high in the air aboard a jet aircraft. So for the 2015 total eclipse with the weather conditions expected to be marginal from land, eclipse viewing took to all types of viewing locations; on the land, on the sea and in the skies. I am certain that everyone that traveled to the eclipse has a great story (mine will be shared shortly), whether it was clear, or cloudy. For this eclipse only two land areas lay under the path of totality, with the centerline passing over just one. If you were selecting eclipses that had a high probability of clear skies, you would not have picked the one of 20 March 2015.
