  • Current Guidelines and Regulations for Whale
    A REVIEW OF WHALE WATCH GUIDELINES AND REGULATIONS AROUND THE WORLD VERSION 2009 Carole Carlson Provincetown Center for Coastal Studies, Provincetown, MA. USA College of the Atlantic, Bar Harbour, Maine USA GUIDELINES FOR COMMERCIAL CETACEAN-WATCHING ACTIVITIES IN THE ACCOBAMS AREA Point 1 Scope of the Guidelines The ACCOBAMS Guidelines presented here address those cetacean-watching activities carried out for commercial purposes and subject to the jurisdiction of the Parties to ACCOBAMS. The Guidelines relate to all marine activities where funds are being generated from whale or dolphin watching and this may include research activities that have a commercial component 1. They are intended to serve as a framework for the development of more detailed guidelines by national and regional authorities 2 at a local level. The ACCOBAMS Guidelines should be used to identify what issues need to be addressed and how this may be appropriately done. Variations on this framework will be required to cater for different species 3, different geographical considerations and differences in other human activities within the area where whale watching is occurring or planned to occur. 1 This is one issue where the appropriate authorities should decide the scope of activities to be included within the guidelines. The options are a. All marine activities that include whale or dolphin watching as a means of raising funds, including all commercial and research activities; or b. All marine activities that include whale or dolphin watching as a means of raising funds, including all commercial activities but excluding primarily research activities, which should be separately licensed, perhaps by a special permit system.

  • Cadet Dinghy
    Cadet Dinghy “Viking” Appendix 2 THE CADET SQUADRON In the early 1930's, Cadet Members of the R.G.Y.C. competed in a conglomeration of small craft. Ern Armstrong recalls that when he joined the club in 1933, the cadet section was comprised of the 12 foot cadets, "Firey Cross", owned and sailed by John Boocock, on which Ern sailed for the last three races of the season and "Viking", owned by Tal and Jim Searle, "Tasma", a flat-bottomed ,low wooded hull approximately 14feet long, owned by the Club, "Teddy bear", a half-decked rather heavy boat owned by Geoff Wood, and "Westra", a semi-decked 12 foot cadet, owned by the McAllisters. At that time the boat storage shed was approximately 40 feet by 30 feet fronting the roadway outside the club opposite Transvaal Square, about in line with the eastern end of the present Junior Squadron clubhouse. In about 1935, two 14 foot boats were added to the fleet. These were "Mulluka", owned by Chick Fleet Snr., and sailed by Jim Ritchie and "NV", a 14footer with narrow beam and a high aspect mainsail built and skippered by Norm Wray. And two more 12 foot cadet dinghies were also added to the fleet, "Caress", built and skippered by Bob Curnow and "Dolphin ", owned and skippered by Wally Wiggs. About this time the Cadet section acquired half of the Sea Scout's shed owned by Mr. Ev Hurst, now the tender dinghy storage shed. This move avoided the long lift from the original shed on the roadway.

  • 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.

  • Commodore's Letter of Introduction to the MYC Handbook for 1988 Dear
    Commodore’s Letter of introduction to the MYC Handbook for 1988 Dear Member On May 30th, 1938 Bryan Andrews convened the meeting which resulted in the formation of the Mumbles Yacht Club. Now, fifty years later, we can look back on the progress made since that time and the success we have had in meeting the aspirations of the past, the present and future members and in following the Club's objectives of "encouraging yacht cruising and racing ...... and the provisioning of suitable accommodation for the use and benefit of members". Over the years various aspects of our sport have flourished and then diminished. During the '60s dinghy racing grew to be the main club activity. A mid week turnout for the club racing programme could exceed sixty boats. There followed a boom in cruiser racing. Boat numbers grew. The creation of the Yacht Haven solved the Mumbles mooring problems and contributed to the sustained growth in cruiser ownership. Then, as now, a large proportion of the cruiser owning membership had a prime interest in family cruising and day sailing. At the other end of the scale the fast growing sport of boardsailing has engaged the interest of young and not so young sailors. Of late the club has engaged in a policy of hosting, for various National class associations, major prestige events. Not least of the attractions for such guest bodies are the facilities afforded by the commodious club premises created and established so many years ago. Since 1979 the club has hosted two National, two World Dinghy Championships, one International Regatta and two National Boardsailing Championships.
