Everyone else did a Windward Return, 3 times bottom then home, slightly delayed with it’s addition to the Course…. each time … First lap, the wind was a bit light down there, and Patchy, but as it built a tad, and swung a bit North, the 2 Spiders got going and away from the fleet. The Course is all right under 20knots, but getting a flogging and maybe a bit tired. We know that track too well. It’s a challenge for the Race Committee to create a “different” [didn’t say better] Course on Pointscore days, for 4 different fleets on such a tiny river, but .. let’s see …no whingeing tho if it is too tricky for some ….. drew away from , and and stayed close all race long, very evenly matched for speed in these moderate conditions. prevailed in the end to cross the Line 43 seconds ahead of , but the winner on Corrected.

Of major concern on was to moderate liquid consumption in the heat, as a night afloat was planned. The thought of running out of liquids before passing out that night, would have been very stressful. Nice little sail .. CC next Sunday hopefully with full fleet. Catamaran Report (Nola and Chris Hallet) Left the beach in a light wind with 30 slow minutes to get to the start line and what a relief to see the Trailer flag flying! A few tacks here and there and away we went with 8 cats through the start. Leading was Michael in the class followed closely by , , , , , and all trying to find the best wind. Most of the fleet followed the north side to get the tide advantage with choosing the south side to get cleaner air to be 2nd around the 1st mark. The tussles continued throughout the race with & very close and interchanging positions while the class stayed in the lead. Mmm who put that marker buoy in that position with no wind and raging current ??? Oh well, had to slowly manoeuvre around two monos who were struggling near that dreaded buoy and let most of the cat fleet pass by while we were basically going backwards with a smirk from Col. After that, wind picked up and got their act together and gained ground to come a close 2nd to Michael over the line, then and then , and within 3 seconds of each other followed by and . Unfortunately Norm retired before the race and he thanks everyone involved with packing up his boat. Thanks to Roland and duty officers. 2 Richmond River Sailing and Rowing Club website: www.rrsrc.com.au P.O. Box 963 Ballina 2478 c Gennaker Report (Michael Wiley and Duncan Dey) A strong fleet of four 15’s and three RS100’s fronted the starter for the gennaker division. The strong outgoing tide, large fleet of combined monos and gennakers and light winds made for a very challenging start. To their credit (although accidental if you believe them), Laura and Francine in pretty well got the best of it down the port end while everyone else fought for the starboard end advantage. Most of the gennakers got away well, except maybe for Michael and Tara in who were a tad second rank. However, with their superior speed all four fifteens quickly managed to pull away into clear air from the chaos of the combined fleet with the RS100’s not far behind them. It was a difficult task to pick the optimum path to the first mark. The tide suggested you go left, but the boats going right often found better wind and and a Northerly lift and came out ahead. By going right Garry in soon found himself leading the RS100 trio. Out front, and Barry and Anna in settled down to their usual very close race with many changes of lead as close covering and gybing duals became the order of the day. Initially Daniel and Steffen in kept up with the leading pair, but soon fell back into a comfortable third spot, while found itself dicing with the RS100’s. As the race progressed Duncan in managed to work his way back to the front of the RS100 pack. The dramas increased on the third and last run where a couple of powerful gusts drove and into the shallows inside the red channel markers. lost a lot of time needing to douse its kite and reach up to go outside the mark while lost even more time capsizing on it as it struggled to claw it way around it with the kite up. ’s problems should have seen get a commanding lead. Instead it found itself rounding the last bottom mark hot on the tail of . It was then a drag race to the finish, with every gust, lift and knock producing subtle changes in the boats’ relative positions. The finale to a nail biting finish occurred when was forced low as it traversed the Ramada wind shadows leaving it needing to tack into the finish, while managed to stay higher for a direct line to the buoy. In the end, managed to tack across the bows of and take the gun by a few seconds. 3 Richmond River Sailing and Rowing Club website: www.rrsrc.com.au P.O. Box 963 Ballina 2478 also managed to claw its way back to the front of the RS100 contingent on the long last work, but not by enough to recover its handicap position, leaving to take the overall first place on handicap. Further back had a more difficult time traversing the unpredictable winds of the Ramada wind shadow, resulting in several capsizes and difficult recoveries. To their credit, Laura and Francine persisted to still score a fourth on handicap. Thanks to those laying the marks for keeping the windward buoy 100m away from the Services Club building. How about also keeping it 200m away from the despicable new even-taller waterfront building on Kerr Street. And how about the Club lobbies Council to prevent the next tall waterfront building? 4 Richmond River Sailing and Rowing Club website: www.rrsrc.com.au P.O. Box 963 Ballina 2478 Would racing be feasible on this stretch of the river in Northerly and Easterly courses if the shoreline fills with these large buildings? Monohull Report (Dave Scott) Note from Newsletter editor: Many thanks to Dave Scott who jumped in to write this report with no knowledge of this prior to sailing the race. Newsletter editor was unable to race due to riding out the storm of an unwelcome stomach bug. Dave Scott: Lovely day but not much wind so a bit of a mission to get to the start, which was way up the river towards the ferry. Oh for a spinnaker! - although even the F15’s weren’t making a lot of headway! The Trailer Sailors got away and then it was the mono’s turn – but hang on, the flag on the rescue boat was a C!! I assumed the starting order had been changed and I just hadn’t heard about it, but a couple of other mono sailors asked me what was going on, so who knows.

  • An Ambivalent Ground: Re-Placing Australian Literature
    An Ambivalent Ground: Re-placing Australian Literature James Paull A Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of the University of New South Wales 2007 PLEASE TYPE THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW SOUTH WALES Thesis/Dissertation Sheet Surname or Family name: PAULL First name: JAMES Other name/s: CAMPBELL Abbreviation for degree as given in the University calendar: PhD School: English, Media and Performing Arts Faculty: Arts Title: An Ambivalent Ground: Re-placing Australian Literature Abstract 350 words maximum: (PLEASE TYPE) Narratives of place have always been crucial to the construction of Australian identity. The obsession with identity in Australia betrays longstanding uncertainty. It is not difficult to interpret in this uncertainty a replaying of the deeper insecurities surrounding the settler community's legal and more broadly cultural claims to the land. Such insecurities are typically understood negatively. In contrast, this thesis accepts the uncertainty of identity as an activating principle, appropriate to any interpretation of the narratives and themes that inform what it means to be Australian. Fundamental to this uncertainty is a provisionality in the post-colonial experience of place that is papered over by misleadingly coherent spatial narratives that stem from the imperial inheritance of Australian mythology. Place is a model for the tension between the coherence of mythic narratives and the actual rhizomic formlessness of daily life. Place is the ‘ground’ of that life, but an ambivalent ground. An Ambivalent Ground approaches postcolonial Australia as a densely woven text. In this text, stories that describe the founding of a nation are enveloped by other stories, not so well known, that work to transform those more familiar narratives.

My name is Paul Pritchard, I’ve recently returned to the TS16 class after an absence of 16years, sailing from Saratoga with my partner Judith. There have been some significant changes to fleets and TS16 management in that time and at the recent National and NSW State Annual General Meetings I was asked to take up the positions of NSW Race Secretary and new Tillerscope editor taking over from Barrie Heath, Paul Foster and Richard Luckhurst. I would like to particularly acknowledge Barrie and his late wife Pam for their significant contributions to the TS16 Class as it is only through volunteers like this that an Association can exist. At the ripe old age of 83, I met with Barrie at his retirement Village last week and he still has his witty edge. He is still interested in whats going on in the TS world and after going over a few fond memories, Barrie transferred all of the photos and Tillerscope information collected and published from 1999 through to the last edition in 2013.

  • Vyc Yardsticks
    Yachting Victoria Inc ABN 26 176 852 642 2 / 77 Beach Road SANDRINGHAM VIC 3191 Tel 03 9597 0066 Fax 03 9598 7384 YACHTING VICTORIA YARDSTICKS - 2013-14 Date: 1st Oct 2013 Version: 1.0 INTRODUCTION These yardsticks are prepared to provide the fairest possible calculation of results for mixed fleet racing. New and modified classes appear every year and it is important to gather information and review results as quickly as possible. For dinghy classes there have been no changes to the original Yardsticks published for the 2013/14 season, as results for review have not been forthcoming. In the absence of race results data for dinghy classes and new internationally sourced classes, where there is yardstick data from overseas available, a comparison is made with other international classes to derive an equivalent Yachting Victoria yardstick value. This is explained further down in this document. Fortunately for catamaran classes, there has been significant work done by the Kurnell Catamaran Club in reviewing various catamaran ratings, as well as validating the ratings against the international SCHRS system. This work has now been incorporated into the YV yardsticks for catamaran classes. Much appreciation goes to KCC for this good work. Catamaran yardsticks are now contained in a separate document: “YV - Cat Yardsticks13_14 v1.0” USE OF THE YV YARDSTICKS A club which intends to run a race or event under the Yachting Victoria Yardstick system should include in the Notice of Race and in the Sailing Instructions clauses based on the following: 1 The version of the YV Yardstick System that is to be used in calculating the mixed class fleet racing results.
