Autumn is officially here, with winds that stuff up race courses. 2 weeks ago .. same scenario .. SW wind at Briefing .. RC set SE Course .. good call .. sure enough wind swung to SE for the racing on an excellent Course. This time .. the wind doggedly hung in at SSW, turning the Course to absolute crap. 2 weeks apart ..and sea breezes are officially finished. That’s racing .. in Autumn. Each Lap we would try to get a kite up, and it was possible by reaching up to the first Red Buoy, setting and sailing to next Red Buoy and dropping. But that did not equate to any gains, not for us or even the skiffs .. the time to set and drop not making up time, over a boat 2 sail reaching efficiently over in the tide…. Oh well .. Really dreadful sailing .. close reaching upwind.. overpowered in the windy bits, and 2 sail reaching back. In theory, in a One Design Fleet, a course turned to a reach- reach does not favour one boat over another .. no kites means no kites .. but in our mixed fleet, with as 2 sail, plus kiteless Spiders which still plane readily plus heavier boats like RLs that do not plane as well when winds drops down .. gives a total uneven mix. Obviously smashed the results as it does not carry a spinnaker handicap, and sailed a perfect 4 laps. Incy ‘smashing the results’ 2 Richmond River Sailing and Rowing Club website: www.rrsrc.com.au P.O. Box 963 Ballina 2478 Crossed the Line right behind , who had to match race all day to prevent from overtaking on an -favourable stretch, - which would have allowed control over . Then no way would be allowed to pass and would have gotten the Gun as well as the CBH win. Interesting to see how efficient that hull is in reaching conditions. was definitely faster than on certain reach angles .. that’s an 18’ boat outreaching a 23’ boat. Treasure Isle flanked by No Waiting adding some colour to the day Desperate attempts to ease the frustration by setting a kite when it just wasn’t on .. by and .. [and other Classes as well ] did not help in trying to match the specialist 2 sail boat So round and round we went [reached], the fleet led by the match race then , then and then 3 Richmond River Sailing and Rowing Club website: www.rrsrc.com.au P.O. Box 963 Ballina 2478 A kite setting by Run Rabbit Run in an attempt to get further ahead on the course Casual banter between Spudgun and Shades 4 Richmond River Sailing and Rowing Club website: www.rrsrc.com.au P.O. Box 963 Ballina 2478 But wait .. there’s more .. the fleet was split in half .. the lightweight reachers and the traditional TS’s, right? .. but the wind which had got up to maybe 20 in sections, now dropped out .. like zero .. in between the 2 types of boats finishing .. so and crossed the Finish Line, but the wind then zeroed ..preventing the RLs and Ian from finishing .. sat there and sat there … Crazy day. What else could go wrong .. Well … bit of a kerfuffle as the Rescue Boat went round to dinghies and cats to ask if they wanted a tow home in the zero wind, and started removing Marks as it appeared the wind had gone for the day so ..it’s over .. but .. in the confusion, the right of some boats to still race to the Finish – inside the SIs Time Limit .. was overlooked .. oh dear .. when something stuffs up it .. stuffs up .. It has to be said .. South West wind is a morning wind. The wind then either zeroes out or swings into another direction. For the SW wind at Briefing to hold thru the Sunday race to stuff up the Course, was unusual and no way a fault of the RC. The wind was actually SSW mostly .. a perfect stuff up wind .. like no way our river can handle that wind. Also we share the Course with other Divisions, and funny little short leg zig-zags to try to get a windward/Leeward section, like they do for the dinghies at Harwood, is just not possible at Ballina in mixed fleets. Next CC is after Easter .. and .. the RC is determined to somehow force the unforgiving winds into a magic Course, and we will get revenge on Sunday’s little reach-around. Serenity when the going was good 5 Richmond River Sailing and Rowing Club website: www.rrsrc.com.au P.O. Box 963 Ballina 2478 Gennaker Report (Duncan Dey and Michael Wiley) Moments after the start With a Southerly breeze the committee was never going to be able to set a windward-return course. We were left to sail in a soldier’s course of alternative port and starboard reaching legs. The line up at the reaching start was a little ragged, but the fleet got away quickly with Formula Fifteens (Barry and Francine), (Tom and Brendan) and (Michael and Tara) breaking away from the rest to turn the first mark in a tight group. F15 (Daniel and Steffen) was trapped behind RS100 (Duncan) for the whole reach to the first mark, as can happen on a reach. 6 Richmond River Sailing and Rowing Club website: www.rrsrc.com.au P.O. Box 963 Ballina 2478 and elected to sail under jib and mainsail towards the next mark while thought the spinnaker was worth a go. It turns out chose poorly as a gust drove them towards the Northern shore, losing time and dropping them behind the lead pack. Half way down the Ramada narrows had a go at the kite, followed quickly by , the latter wanting to defend its lead. This turned out to be a better choice as both boats took off and powered towards the bottom mark. Trade Secret powering up Although they were driven to the North by gusts, by the time the kites came down to avoid t-boning the rocks they were close to the mark. Toxic finished up with a third 7 Richmond River Sailing and Rowing Club website: www.rrsrc.com.au P.O. Box 963 Ballina 2478 With Garry out of town, the RS100 race was a dual between and (Vince). led for the first lap, holding out by covering it for the second tight reach south to Mobbs Bay entrance. Vince took the lead on the second loose reach to The Residence (blue clad 18m-high building under construction on River Street). Vince in a two horse race Duncan on the move 8 Richmond River Sailing and Rowing Club website: www.rrsrc.com.au P.O. Box 963 Ballina 2478 Vince expanded the gap on Duncan by about a minute per lap for two laps, ie 4 reaches. The wind dropped out for the last lap and the RS100 gap remained fixed till the finish. For three laps, the F15 race became a procession; with leading by a mere stone’s throw. The crews worked furiously to keep the boats flat and going fast with the knowledge the slightest error would change the lead and, with the boats constantly sailing in the power zone (or as the more dramatic cat sailors call it – the death zone), bring on a probable capsize. On the second lap was seen to once again make a poor spinnaker choice and was driven towards the Ballina wharf where it capsized and took a while to recover. At the front, the race’s defining moment occurred at the start of the last upriver leg. rounded just ahead of , but while easing the vang, was hit by a gust and capsized; following that with another capsize as it negotiated the leg. When rode out the gust, that left it clear ahead and able to sail a conservative race to the finish, followed by Michael and Tara back in Mr Bond 9 Richmond River Sailing and Rowing Club website: www.rrsrc.com.au P.O. Box 963 Ballina 2478 Further back in the F15's, managed to hang on to be the third boat, with coming fourth. Dan and Steffen in Numero Uno Wind failures favour the front of the fleet and reaching favours the F15's so, despite sailing well on the day and not capsizing like a couple of the F15's, the RS100's came in last (fifth and sixth) places on yardstick.

    Issues of Validity, Subjectivity, and Reflexivity in Multimodal Literacy Research and Analysis

    Journal of Language and Literacy Education Vol. 15 Issue 1—Spring 2019 Issues of Validity, Subjectivity, and Reflexivity in Multimodal Literacy Research and Analysis David E. Low & Jessica Zacher Pandya Abstract: In this article we highlight analyses conducted in two qualitative literacy studies to discuss various implications of a blended, or hybrid, approach to multimodal analysis. By investigating several prominent frameworks commonly used together for the purpose of analyzing multimodal data, and describing our own experiences blending these frameworks, we determine& that a hybrid approach is not necessarily ineffective at producing data interpretations, but that it is insufficiently reflexive of the role researcher positionality plays in multimodal analysis. We conclude the article by offering recommendations for supplementing hybrid analytical approaches through data co-construction and increased attention to researcher positionality. Keywords: multimodality, multimodal literacies, visual analysis, data co-construction David E. Low is Assistant Professor of Literacy Education at California State University, Fresno. A former high school ELA teacher in Tucson, Arizona, David conducts research on how young people’s multimodal reading and composing practices – particularly through the medium of comics – facilitate various enactments of critical literacy.

  • The Quest for Donald Duck … a Lake of the Woods Wayfarer Cruise

    The Quest for Donald Duck … a Lake of the Woods Wayfarer Cruise

    The quest for Donald Duck … a Lake of the Woods Wayfarer Cruise I came back from the Wayfarer Rally at Killbear on Georgian Bay with increased determination to do some more local cruising. The other Thunder Bay Wayfarer owner and my regular racing crew Andy Ivancic and I had previously talked about sailing the Rossport Islands area east of Thunder Bay but as he was already on holidays in Kenora at the in-laws cottage, heading west seemed the logical thing to do. Lake of the Woods it would be. The boat was still in travelling mode after the return from southern Ontario so a bit more bearing grease and a mere 5hrs later, W9657 was at waters edge in a marina in Pine Portage Bay on the north-east corner of Lake of the Woods. The view of the lake from the highway through Kenora gives little impression of what lies beyond… Lake of the Woods is huge- about 60km by 105km in size, with 105,000 km of shoreline and a barely countable 14,542 islands. The northern portion is sculpted out of the volcanic and granitic rocks of the Canadian Shield and forms a maze of channels, rocky islands, peninsulas, and bays. The very different south borders on Minnesota and is shallow with sandy shores and extremely wide open. With a long history of aboriginal inhabitants, an early travel route west to the prairies, and turn of the century lumbering and gold mining the area also has an interesting past behind its recreational usage of today. No question the northern part appeared ideal for Wayfarer cruising and would provide multiple options for routes with the numerous islands and peninsulas helping to limit wave build-up, and offer lots of exploration potential.

    FURTHERDEVELS'NENT OF THETUNNY RIG E M H GIFFORDANO C PALNER Gi f ford and P art ners Carlton House Rlngwood Road Hoodl ands SouthamPton S04 2HT UK 360 1, lNTRODUCTION The idea of using a wing sail is not new, indeed the ancient junk rig is essentially a flat plate wing sail. The two essential characteristics are that the sail is stiffened so that ft does not flap in the wind and attached to the mast in an aerodynamically balanced way. These two features give several important advantages over so called 'soft sails' and have resulted in the junk rig being very successful on traditional craft. and modern short handed-cruising yachts. Unfortunately the standard junk rig is not every efficient in an aer odynamic sense, due to the presence of the mast beside the sai 1 and the flat shapewhich results from the numerousstiffening battens. The first of these problems can be overcomeby usi ng a double ski nned sail; effectively two junk sails, one on either side of the mast. This shields the mast from the airflow and improves efficiency, but it still leaves the problem of a flat sail. To obtain the maximumdrive from a sail it must be curved or cambered!, an effect which can produce over 5 more force than from a flat shape. Whilst the per'formanceadvantages of a cambered shape are obvious, the practical way of achieving it are far more elusive. One line of approach is to build the sail from ri gid componentswith articulated joints that allow the camberto be varied Ref 1!.

    Blast Reaching at the NSW States Photos Neil Waterman ©

    Blast Reaching at the NSW States Photos Neil Waterman © Volume 153 June 2006 NS14 Bulletin President’s Message First of all I would like to introduce myself to those who don’t know me as by virtue of being elected NSW President I am also the National President under the current constitution. This will change under the proposed revisions to the constitution whereby the President will be elected. I have been in NSs for 20 years mainly based at Northbridge although I have moved in and out of the Association as Hugh and Penny’s boat interests have changed (eg FAs, Lasers, MGs, 29ers, 16’ skiffs, and yachts). This has allowed me to have some exposure as to how other classes are run. For the last couple of seasons we have had three NSs in the family and I am keen to see the class get back to the strength it had a number of years ago. In this context I would like to outline a number of actions I think we need to take to help rejuvenate the class and bring the numbers participating at a class level back to where we used to be. There is no doubt there is a lot more competition for people’s time nowadays, but I feel that we have an opportunity to position this class as a great way for people to use the time they have. The key challenges are to get people sailing in regattas and to get people building new boats again. First, I think we need to market the NS14 using the strengths of the class to demonstrate that this class will suit a broad spectrum of sailors.
