  • Portsmouth Number List 2019

    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.

    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 .

Speziell die teilweise fehlende Ausstattung an notwendigen Ausbildungsmaterialien in den Segelklubs und deren entsprechenden Einsatzmöglichkeiten benötigen neue Wege der Demonstration und Präsentation. Im österreichischen Segelsport ist die Anzahl der segelnden Jugendliche überschaubar. Die traditionellen Trainingsformen (vgl. einseitig) halten viele potentielle Nachwuchsegler von einem Engagement im Segel / Regattasegelsport ab. Auch viele Segelvereine in Österreich haben das Problem zu weniger Kinder / Jugendlicher für ihre Nachwuchsarbeit.

    The 49Er Is the Two Person One-Design Skiff Which Has

    The Julian Bethwaite designed B14 has been built by Ovington boats since 2001. With the 29er, 49er, Musto Skiff and the 18foot skiff the world class range of skiffs now numbers five. The Boat Ovington's 'secret' in building long lasting epoxy boats is in our ability to apply a polyester gel coat to an epoxy laminate. The hugely popular B14 is a lightweight, 2 person, non-trapeze skiff with blistering performance and a strong international following. The boat enjoys a very large active fleet in the UK. Outstanding power to weight ratio is the key to the B14's blistering performance which is enhanced by a sophisticated rig. A wide range of body weights can remain competitive in all conditions and because of the light loads and easily driven hull form it returns an outstanding performance relative to effort. The Ovington B14 is made from epoxy resins using the unique tried and tested system that successfully makes the fastest Flying Fifteens and International 14s. There changes made to the deck mould to improve ergonomics and pole launching have revolutionised the strength of the hull and made handling the spinnaker easier.

    Our Year in Review

    Our Year in Review Annual Report 2018-2019 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF TRADITIONAL OWNERS belong holds the deepest respect for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people as the first people of this country, and we acknowledge that the prosperity of modern day Australia is built on lands stolen, never ceded. We acknowledge that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have survived and continue to endure the traumas of historical and systemic injustices on their lands and people. Yet we celebrate the world’s longest surviving cultures - testament to systems of belief and technological sophistication that supported the survival of more than 250 clans or ‘nations’ across the enormous range of environments that comprise this continent. We also honour the incredible resilience of our nation’s first people, and their often under- celebrated contributions to our nation’s economic, social and cultural development. We are proud that our Acacia Ridge heartland boasts one of South East Queensland’s strong- est Indigenous communities, and we are grateful for everything that they teach us. We are proud of the achievements, courage and resilience of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people we rub shoulders with every day. We are proud to be headquartered in a Queensland state electorate led by the first Indigenous woman to be elected to Queensland parliament. We aim to tread gently on these lands, to listen to the wisdom of our elders, and to do what we can to help bridge the gap and contribute to the preservation of culture and lingo. We pay our deepest respect to the Jagera people on whose land we are privileged to work, and pay our respects to Elders past, present, and emerging.
