    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.

This Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) is not intended, nor should it be used, as a local planning document by potentially affected communities. The exploration, development and production, and transportation scenarios described in this EIS represent best-estimate assumptions that serve as a basis for identifying characteristic activities and any resulting environmental effects. Several years will elapse before enough is known about potential local details of development to permit estimates suitable for local planning. These assumptions do not represent a Minerals Management Service recommendation, preference, or endorsement of any facility, site, or development plan. Local control of events may be exercised through planning, zoning, land ownership, and applicable State and local laws and regulations.

  • 2011 European Championships Circolo Vela Gargnano – May 2011
    Event Report 2011 European Championships Circolo Vela Gargnano – May 2011 The 2011 European Access Class Championships were conducted from Tuesday 24 to Sunday 29 May by Circolo Vela Gargnano at Bogliaco, Lake Garda, Italy. The event attracted the following entries: Class Entries Competitors Male Female Nations Access 2.3 Single Person 8 8 6 2 4 Access 303 Single Person 9 9 8 1 5 Access Liberty Single Person 7 7 5 2 3 Access 303 Two Person 12 24 16 8 4 SKUD 18 Two Person 5 10 6 4 4 TOTAL 41 57* 40 (70%) 17 (30%) 10 * One male competitor sailed in both single and two-person divisions Participating nations: AUS, ESP, FRA, GBR, HUN, ISR, ITA, NED, POR, SUI. Sailors with a disability comprised 80% of the competitors. There was a 93% increase in the number of competitors from the inaugural European Championships conducted in Port Camargue, France, in 2009 and entries were well above expectations. Eight of the ten nations achieved podium positions. Switzerland attended with a large and well supported team of 10 sailors competing in the Access 303 two person division. Portugal dominated the Access 2.3 fleet, providing 5 of the 8 entries. The UK contingent was also large and well supported, with entries in four divisions. At the conclusion of the event, GBR was awarded the European Championships Nations Trophy donated by Circolo Vela Gargnano. Schedule The dates of the regatta fitted well with ISAF Sailing World Cup (SKUD 18) events and National Championships in France, Portugal and the UK. Avoiding the peak holiday season also ensured accommodation options were more plentiful and less expensive.
