INTERVIEWS: DILIP CHERIAN NUPUR SHARMA ALOK SANWAL People centric structures Articulation is a natural talent Government is no more selective crumble, institutions survive. unless one spends years to master it. in communicating with media. Public Relations as a profession has come of age in India. Several leading consultancies are celebrating their silver jubilees. Our Time Is Corporate communications directors are getting a seat at the leadership table. In an era like this, it is heartening that India does not have its own media portal and a magazine that celebrates the profession. Reputation Today is one such endeavour, which we hope, will fill the gap through its sharp focus on offering more to Now the intelligent communicator of 2016. Why a print magazine? You may ask. Well, print is not dying in India anytime soon. And when it does, we will be flexible to move to an online-only version. The communications business needs a media outlet that offers it its due. A place to exchange ideas and insights with compelling content. Fortunately, couple of India trade media outlets do offer some space to Public Relations and another couple of international portals keep a close eye on India. In all this, an India-focussed point of view gets missed out. Hence, the need for a Made In India communications portal dedicated to the craft we are all proud practitioners of. The idea has been hovering around for a while but the ability to execute was taking time. After successfully organising four editions of PRAXIS, this seemed like a natural progression. The basic philosophy is the same as the theme of the first edition of the annual summit – Our Time Is Now! We want professionals to be able to carry around a copy of this magazine with pride. We want younger professionals to show this magazine to their parents. We want older professionals to show this to their children. We want corporate communications departments to keep a copy of this magazine in their office libraries. And we want consultancies to display this magazine at their reception for visitors to browse through. We are hopeful that this magazine will grow from strength to strength. And hopefully, move from a quarterly to a monthly in the years ahead. We hope you enjoy reading these pages and keep coming back for more. We have shared our philosophy so you get to know us better. We can only grow by receiving your constant feedback. There is a lot in store. Let’s start from here and take one swift step at a time.

  • Portsmouth Number List 2016
    Portsmouth Number List 2016 The RYA Portsmouth Yardstick Scheme is provided to enable clubs to allow boats of different classes to race against each other fairly. The RYA actively encourages clubs to adjust handicaps where classes are either under or over performing compared to the number being used. The Portsmouth Yardstick list combines the Portsmouth numbers with class configuration and the total number of races returned to the RYA in the annual return. This additional data has been provided to help clubs achieve the stated aims of the Portsmouth Yardstick system and make adjustments to Portsmouth Numbers where necessary. Clubs using the PN list should be aware that the list is based on the typical performance of each boat across a variety of clubs and locations. Experimental numbers are based on fewer returns and are to be used as a guide for clubs to allocate as a starting number before reviewing and adjusting where necessary. The list of experimental Portsmouth Numbers will be periodically reviewed by the RYA and is based on data received from the PY Online website (www.pys.org.uk). Users of the PY scheme are reminded that all Portsmouth Numbers published by the RYA should be regarded as a guide only. The RYA list is not definitive and clubs should adjust where necessary.

  • Twin Spinnaker Pole System W11012 String Launched with Twin Guys and Twin Sheets
    Twin Spinnaker Pole System W11012 String launched with twin guys and twin sheets Twin spinnaker pole arrangements have been used in various classes for a number of years. An early arrangement was used in Hornets and Scorpions in the 1980’s and a push-out/manual twin pole system has been used by Merlin Rockets for about 20 years. A string launched pole is essentially one where the crew pulls on a control line to set the pole. The 505 class in particular was using string launched single ended poles through the 1980’s to the early part of this century and around the mid-noughties sailors in Australia and the USA started working on string launched twin pole setups for the 505 to go along with their long poles and mega- spinnakers. An interesting article was published on Sailing Anarchy a few years ago at http:// forums.sailinganarchy.com/index.php?/topic/101399-zen-and-the-art-of-making- the-5o5-double-pole-system/ which shows the development of the systems to twin poles and twin guys. The advantage for the 505 is that it enables a wire to wire gybe to be completed successfully in windy conditions without the crew having to stand by the mast wrestling with the pole. The advantage of using twin guys/sheets over using the traditional twinning lines is that it is possible to pre-set the lazy guy so that as it becomes the new guy following a gybe it is no longer necessary to set and release the twinning lines (which takes time).

  • Centreboards – How They Work
    Gybing boards – how they work… By Strangler -I do not claim to …And a look at a few other things along the way. be an expert. There may well be ‘Foil’ is the common term for centerboards, rudders, keels and wings mistakes in the detail but (the type on airplanes, not 49ers!). To the aerodynamicist and hopefully the general principals hydrodynamicist they are all the same. This term is used here where are near enough correct. Comments on a postcard. relevant to centreboards and rudders. THE BASICS and non-gybing boards. A centreboard [CB] that is passing straight through the water does nothing for a sailboat [Fig 1] except cause drag (and decrease roll - if the hull rolls from side to side water has to slosh from one side of the board round to the other [Fig 2], this slows any rolling motion). CBs work by meeting the oncoming water at an angle (leeway angle) like an airplane wing, thus creating lift. So what does a CB do? If those nasty race officers did not make us slog our way upwind CBs would be of far less importance. But as it is, they are one ingredient in the witches brew that is the Black Art of sailing upwind fast. The underwater shape of a CB is designed solely with beating in mind – thats when the CB is needed most, when the side forces from the rig are greatest. The effect it has is like putting the boat on rails, making it go forwards rather than sliding sideways. Imagine a sailboat beating to windward, the sails are sheeted right in with the boom almost on the centreline.
