  • Portsmouth Number List 2019
    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.

  • Rigging Lark 2252
    Rigging Lark 2252 Introduction This booklet was inspired by reading the Wayfarer guide to rigging and racing. The wayfarer guide includes a lot more information than just rigging and is worth a read even if you sail a different class. This guide describes how Lark 2252 is rigged and will hopefully help those new to Lark sailing that has an older boat. It is not the definitive way to rig and some things might change as I gain more experience sailing this exciting and rewarding class. If you have one of the Rondar Larks or are thinking about setting up the control lines and rigging from scratch then consult the rigging guide written by Simon Cox and available from the class website. Lark 2252 was built by Parkers in 1989. Although it is a MK2 much of the rigging is similar to the MK1s. I believe in keeping things as simple as possible and only having adjustable controls you actually adjust on the water. However, if you need to adjust controls they need to be easy to use and fall to hand. While the latest shiny gadgets and brand new sails may look nice, if your basic boat handling and tactics are poor you’ll still sail slowly whatever you spend. After all, what good are those £800 new sails if you’re always in someone’s dirty wind! Finally, join the class association, everyone is very friendly and helpful and you’ll be doing your bit to keep the class alive. Garry Packer 10th July 2004. Hull Make sure your hull is smooth; fill the worst imperfections with gel coat filler or epoxy and microballons and sand wet with 600 – 1200 paper.

  • Buying a Lark Barker, Parker, Rondar, Ovington
    Barker, Parker, Rondar, Ovington Buying a Lark Over the 40 years Larks have been in production over 2500 hulls have been made. Some of which are owned and raced regularly, however many are sitting in dinghy parks or garages providing a safe habitat for an abun- dance of wildlife. The materials used and build quality of the Lark means that virtually all of these hulls could be restored with minimum expense and therefore offer an excellent opportunity for sailors on a budget. This means you can buy a Lark second hand from as little as £50, they regularly come up on sites like E-bay, Apollo Duck and in Yachts and Yachting and Dinghy Sailing Magazine as well as on the lark web-site www.larkclass.org .

  • Brigham Sailing Club
    Amaryllis -75 year old Brigham Sharpie restored by David Hamilton and racing again. maryllis, locally known as a “Brigham Sharpie”, was built around 1930 ago by Walter Silverwood, a founder member of the Brigham Sailing Club. Walter was an amateur boat Abuilder and one of a group of yachtsmen from the Hull area who sailed on the River Humber, Hornsea Mere and the Driffield Navigation from the early 1900s. The Humber Yawl Club Yearbook of 1933 records – “A few years ago, three or four men who sailed on the Upper Hull started a small boat club at Brigham for the purpose of arranging races each weekend. The project has grown considerably and there were at Brigham during the summer of 1933 a fleet of 13 boats – 3 sharpies, 4 open boats, 2 International 14s and 4 canoe-yawls” “All the boats are rigged with a single balanced lug, except “White Rose” and “Arline”, both of which are Bermudan sloops”. Amaryllis was built almost entirely from mahogany using plank on frame construction. The bot- tom, sides and deck were originally ¼” thick x 12” wide mahogany planks. The hull design closely resembles a Norfolk Punt, she is 16’ overall length and 4’6” beam. The single hollow pine mast carries a 175 square foot balanced lugsail bent on bamboo spar and boom. The mast, spar and boom are all original. She has a forward hinged centre-plate and a mahogany rudder blade which can be both raised to clear weed and shallows.

  • 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.

  • Mid–Year Newsletter June 2014
    Mid–Year Newsletter June 2014 ‘Jezebel’ Antoni Perri’s home built traditional Whitehall design clinker winner of the Inverloch and District Lions Club Perpetual Trophy South Gippsland Yacht Club Commodore With the success of the first of the Classic Wooden Dingy Regattas behind us it is now the time to look to the future of this event. The Regatta has given great exposure to SGYC both in the local community and with sailors near and far but the momentum needs to be kept going. Much of the success of the event was the result of the enthusiastic contributions of the Inverloch and District Lions Club, Inverloch Rotary Club, Inverloch Historical Society, Inverloch and Melbourne business partners, Bass Coast Shire Council, members of South Gippsland and other yacht clubs and wooden dinghy enthusiasts. The Classic Wooden Dinghy Committee, a sub-committee of SGYC, is now looking for ways to attract more boats and a wider public audience for the 2015 Classic Wooden Dingy Regatta. I would encourage any interested club members to involve themselves in the planning by joining the Regatta committee. The future of the SGYC is very important for both myself and club members and an event such as this regatta engages with the community and exposes sailing to the wider public which inturn will attract new members and in particular juniors who are the club’s future. The Regatta’s purpose is to exhibit, on and off the water, examples of wooden dinghies once sailed around Victorian beaches but now quite rare. These classic wooden dinghies would be from the beginning of the 20 century to about 1970.
