    Portsmouth Number List 2019 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 via PY Online. 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.

SEE YOU IN GREECE ARYA Programs ARGONAUTICAL PARK The First ARYA Training Center Afissos / Pelion Discover the Beauty of Afissos Built in an amphitheatre style, Afissos is a coastal village and is one of the prettiest in the whole Pelion region. It is picturesque and alive with activity and colour along its harbour seafront with many tavernas and bars. In the shady village square wa- ter springs from the same fountain which, according to the legend, the Argonauts stocked up with water before their epic adventure to find the Golden Fleece. Afissos is surrounded by three wonderful beaches of Kalifteri, Lagoudi and beauti- ful Abovos. Surrounded by the beauty of the Pagasitikos Gulf and Mount Pelion (said to be the summer residence of the Gods of Olympus) Afissos is an ideal base for trips to the Mount Pelion Villages … you can see why people don’t just come here for the sailing. IFDS International ‘Challenger’ Multihull Championship 2007 The Argonautical Park in cooperation with the Maistrali Sailing Club organised with great success the IFDS IMC 2007 multi hull championship.

  • Supplementary SAILING INSTRUCTIONS for the Christmas Pursuit Race 20Th December 2020
    Supplementary SAILING INSTRUCTIONS for the Christmas Pursuit Race 20th December 2020 1. Sailors must sign on using the GWSC WebCollect website. 2. The course number will be announced over the PA and published on the website by 10h30 and on the port side of the Committee boat. See overleaf for courses. 3. For all starts, the starting line will be between the mast on the Committee boat displaying an orange flag and a Dan buoy carrying an orange flag. The starting line is not a gate on subsequent laps. 4. To alert boats that a race will begin soon, the orange starting line flag will be displayed with multiple sound signals at least one minute before a warning signal (numeral board zero) is displayed at 10h57. 5. The starting numeral board on the Committee boat shall display minutes after 10h57, changing with a sound signal every minute until 11h41 or for as long as there are starters in the area. 6. Boats start when the numeral board for their start is displayed. A full list of start times is available in the office. 7. Near the end of the race boats must keep within 50 metres of the centreline of their sailing leg to make sure they receive a finish, especially when beating or sailing downwind. 8. The race will end at 12h15. Finish ranking is the order of boats on the water at that time, the leader being finished from a RIB or other boat at 12h15. 9. Boats must continue sailing until finished with an individual sound signal from a RIB as soon as possible after 12h15.
