Clare Southwell, the owner and skipper of the Formula Fifteen was awarded the Ballina Shire Australia Day Sporting Achievement of the year Award at a ceremony held at the Lennox Head Cultural Centre on Australia Day. Nominated by Michael Wiley, Clare earned her award principally through her achievement as one of the crew of the 18ft skiff that won the Queensland State Titles for that powerful class. The achievement was all the greater because it made her one of only two women in Australia and three worldwide who sailed the class. And while we couldn’t check it enough to make it part of the nomination, very likely the first woman in the 120 year history of the class to be part of a title winning crew. Her participation in the Sydney Hobart race was icing on the cake of a significant year of achievements for Clare. The award was all the more meaningful for Clare because the ceremony was live streamed and her parents back in the UK were able to watch the announcement of her as the winner and the presentation of the award.

Box 963 Ballina 2478 Race Reports for 24/1/21 Gennaker Report (Michael Wiley) Many thanks to Ian Bowles for photos from the tower 3 Richmond River Sailing and Rowing Club website: www.rrsrc.com.au P.O. Box 963 Ballina 2478 The January long weekend (and a repair of 's mast) reduced the gennaker fleet to four 15's, the FX and four RS100's. That exciting feeling on the beach – just before launching 4 Richmond River Sailing and Rowing Club website: www.rrsrc.com.au P.O. Box 963 Ballina 2478 It was a good line, but the outgoing tide made it hard to time the distance to the start properly, with several boats having to gybe away and circle back in the last 15 seconds, making for a ragged start. The gennakers jockey at the start with the Monos and Trailers gathering for theirs But it made little difference to the positions by half way up the first leg. Dealing with the variables of getting the best of the tide, lifts and wind strength was somewhat of a lottery requiring pragmatism and luck more than an application of dogged principles and no-one was able to hold onto a lead for long; at least until the fleet settled down enough that the lead boat had a reasonable chance of applying a loose cover on the fleet. By the first rounding of the top mark, Liam and Ewan in the FX had worked through to the lead with Michael and Tara in being the first Fifteen, closely followed by the rest of the Fifteens. You Only Live Once finding a gust Barry and Anna used a combination of their light weight and bringing through a gust to catch on the next run, making for a close rounding of the bottom mark. Some good tactical decisions gave 5 Richmond River Sailing and Rowing Club website: www.rrsrc.com.au P.O. Box 963 Ballina 2478 a narrow lead up the next work until disaster struck in the form of the port side trapeze lines giving way at the hounds, dumping both Barry and Ann in the tide and leaving the boat on its side. A lengthy in water repair job to make fast the trapeze wires and effect a makeshift repair to the broken tiller extension left them well behind and out of contention with back as the lead Fifteen. On the next run, Clare and Rick in came through to challenge with a close and exciting twin wire downwind speed dual resulting as , sitting on s windward transom, tried to take its wind and sail through it. That game came to an end when a cat snuck up under both boats unseen. As its bow appeared just in front of 's, Clare was forced into an emergency bear away, causing a capsize to windward. , with an extra boat length of warning managed a more controlled, if still alarming, bear away to squeeze between the mast tip of and the transom of the cat to continue on its way. In the mean time, Daniel and Pip in , until then dicing with the other leading Fifteens, had suffered the exquisite torture of finding their own private wind hole and could only watch as the other boats raced ahead and closed the gap from behind. At least 's capsize let catch up and a close tussle resulted between and for the rest of the race, with coming out on top. But the last half of the race was something of a procession, with the FX crossing the line first and being the first Fifteen and Bill in being the first RS100, closely followed by Garry in . The conditions on the day favoured the RS100's for handicap results with taking overall honours, followed by Vince in and being the first Fifteen in third place overall. Catamaran Report (Jonathan Horsley) Sunday morning was light southeast to east breeze and the intermediate sailing had a good session. Before briefing the wind died completely and one of our cats out for a practice sail had to get a tow in from a friendly trailer sailor who had also got caught in the no wind situation. The situation started to improve with a light 6 Richmond River Sailing and Rowing Club website: www.rrsrc.com.au P.O. Box 963 Ballina 2478 easterly starting and the course was set based on the predicted easterly breeze. As the start time approached the wind settled into a highly variable 5 -10 knots from the ENE. The Cat fleet numbered seven. The fleet included , , , , , and . It was good to see back on the water after last weekend’s incident. The start line was set off the bottom buoy. Most cats opted for a starboard Start. The start was badly impacted when a gennaker arrived at the port end just as the fleet was to start and destroyed the port end starters options, also a trailer interrupted the starboard end at the same time. This left to lead the fleet with a carefully timed run dodging the interfering boats. Both and had their starts totally disrupted by the non-starting boats. The first work showed the advantage of being able to point high as pulled away from the fleet, reaching the top buoy with a clear lead. The incoming tide continued to run and made the first work slow for some. Once off the wind continued to ease away from the fleet.

  • SHAPE Takes You on Tour Through the Gurit World, Discovering Just That: New Materials, New Markets, New Ways!
    The Gurit Magazine Issue 07, September 2010 Introducing RENUVOTM – The new blade repair system. B3 SmartPacs introduced to the American market. Inauguration of the new Tooling production campus at Red Maple. Ground transportation relies on composite materials. Customer development – the partnership approach. Dear Reader What does it mean to be a global company? There are many ways of defining this, and many apply to Gurit: We not only serve attrac- tive global markets but are also locally present in many different areas of the world. Today, more than half of our colleagues work at Gurit production sites in Asia. This is remarkable, especially consid- ering that it was just four years ago that we opened the first fac- tory in China. This summer we had the great pleasure of officially inaugurating a quantum-leap expansion at our Tooling equipment factory in Taicang: Red Maple has added a whole new manufacturing cam- pus allowing for the manufacture of next-generation blade moulds for wind turbines of up to 7 MW. This new set–up allows us to take the Tooling business to a global level, selling an increasing number of moulds to customers in and outside of China. In addition, we have also extended our core material kitting capabilities in Tianjin where preparations are now under way for the installation of Gurit’s first PET extruder to manufacture our new PET based fam- ily of structural core materials. Being – or going – global is also true for Marine: We have success- fully extended our marketing reach by targeting new international boat building markets in the Mediterranean and the Middle East and through the international roll out of the B3 SmartPac Engineer- ing and Materials package across the globe.

    8th 17 1837-2014 Australia Day Regatta Endorsed by Celebrating 92 YEARS OF BUILDING SUCCESS www.awedwards.com.au White Bay Cruise Terminal RAS Main Arena (Skoda Stadium) Newington College Liverpool Courthouse 8th 17 From the President This has been a time of double celebration for Sydney Harbour. In early October 2013, the International Fleet Review, which hosted ships from twenty nations, was a spectacular celebration of the 100th anniversary of the establishment of the Royal Australian Navy and commemorated the arrival of the first seven ships on 4 October 1913. Today’s celebration on Australia Day reminds us of our history, honours those who contributed to that history and celebrates the foundation of our nation. In doing so, we acknowledge the first Australians and pay respect to the Gadigal and Cammeragil people, recognising them as having been fine custodians of Sydney Harbour. On this 178th Australia Day Regatta on Sydney Harbour, hundreds of sailors and their families will participate in a wonderful spectacle on one of the world’s greatest waterways. The Anniversary Regatta, as it was then known, commenced in 1837 just one year after South Australia was proclaimed a colony and before Victoria, Queensland or Tasmania (it was still called Van Diemen’s Land) were formally declared provinces. There is no better way to mark the birth of a nation surrounded by sea and developed through our great maritime heritage than by participating in the Australia Day Regatta. We welcome all those who have entered their craft, large or small, old or new. With the support of our host clubs they will celebrate Australia Day on more than 20 different waterways.

This year Prescott’s son Lachlan can join the crew. He just missed the cut last year, turning 18 in January – a month too late. The Tasmanian is on his 29th Hobart, and before buying this Farr 40, last raced to Hobart on Shogun in 2012. This boat is Martin and Lisa Hill’s ex ‘Estate Master’, which he purchased in 2018, stiffening it up for offshore and IRC racing. Prescott renamed the boat ‘2 Unlimited’, in deference to his successful Melges 32 and SB20 one-design boats of the same name.

  • Endeavour Announcement
    COMPETITION GETS SERIOUS AS COMPETITORS STRIVE TO STAKE A CLAIM TO THE NEW VIRTUAL ENDEAVOUR TROPHY Last Monday marked the start of the Semi-Finals phase of the “RYA Volvo Dinghy Show SailX championship”, where the all-important points really start to count, as racers seek a place in the Live Final and the chance of winning the new “Virtual Endeavour Trophy”. The Semi-Finals run until 27 February during which time any points you score are worth three times more than they were in the Quarter- Finals phase. Even if you haven’t taken part so far there is still time to sign up and clinch those all important points which could see you stake a claim to a place in the Live Final to be held at the RYA Volvo Dinghy Show over the weekend of 3-4 March at Alexandra Palace, London. Each day five regattas take place (at 04.00, 10.00, 17.00, 19.00 and 21.30 GMT) and you only need to complete three regattas over the entire two-week period of the Semi-Finals phase, so, in theory, you could even register and qualify for the Finals just by competing of the last day! But remember racing is very competitive so it’s best to get started as soon as possible. If you want to see what it’s all about then check this video out www.youtube.com/user/SailXRacing or get sailing right away by visiting http://www.sailx.com/SailX3dEXPRESS.php. The individual winner of the RYA Volvo Dinghy Show SailX Championship 2012 will not only receive a selection of great prizes (full list to be announced at the end of this week) but they will also be the first ever recipient of the Virtual Endeavour Trophy, which has been especially commissioned for the championship by the Royal Corinthian Yacht Club, Burnham-on-Crouch.

Seve Jarvin and his 2016 team of John Winning Jr. and Nick Catley will set the benchmark, under the guid- ance of team manager Iain Murray, but racing during the first half of the 2015-2016 Season suggests that up to 8-10 teams have a realistic chance of taking the title away from Jarvin and Gotta Love It 7.
