WYA Squad Newsletter Spring 2014 WYA Squad Newsletter Spring 2014 The Windy Winter This winter we have seen endless Low pressure systems, howling gales, floods and high tides but we have made it through in one piece.

There tended to be a lack of response to changing conditions in the later races of the day as people got more tired, which though understandable, is not ideal. If you bear in mind that conditions change continuously, then by the final race in the day, you stand to make gains while everyone else is asleep. Awareness of changing conditions: Whilst some sailors were good at responding to different days, there was also a tendency to assume that because something was important yesterday, it would be important today too. It is much better to perform your own analysis before each race to en- sure you don’t make assumptions and miss things. This was particularly relevant with the changing effects of the thermals and the tides from day to day and even race to race. Laylines and rhumb lines: I saw some very bad laylines last week, and I also saw many reaches with the entire fleet above the rhumb line, and runs with the fleet all one side or the other. Trans- its to ensure you don’t sail further than you need are really important in these cases, and planning for how the tide might effect the different legs will also help (particularly important on Fri- day). You stand to gain many places by getting these things right.

How are you finding the 420? 420s are going great and a lot faster than Optimist’s! It’s been great fun learning to sail in a new boat with 2 other sails and another person! 2. Was there a big jump between optimist and 420 sailing? It felt like quite a big jump going from an Optimist to a 420 especially because it’s so much more tech- nical and physical than an Optimist. But whilst I was in my Optimist I also sailed Feva’s for a couple of years to learn how to sail a double handed boat and did some events 3. Who do you sail with and what class did they sail previously? I sail with Tilly Matthews who previously sailed Toppers and also comes from Cardiff Bay Club. It’s really convenient we sail nearby as in the summer we can train after school. 4. What squads are you currently part of? We are currently in the GBR Transitional Squad which is going great as there are both people who have previously been in Optimists and other boats like Cadets. We are also in the Welsh 420 Squad with a rec- ord number of 5 other boats! 5. Any advice for sailors looking to transition this year? If I had to give any advice for anyone who was looking to go from their Junior boat to a Youth boat, try out lots of different boats to find what you like and get lots of time on the water being a helm and crew to find what you prefer! And have fun! So You Thought You Were Busy……. The Viney Family’s Story It almost seems easy now! With just Matt and Jemma in 420 Squads (different boats of course!), Gareth now coaching and doing A levels, and Sam sailing a Feva locally, we even have the occasional weekend when we are both at home at the same time. The sailing Calendar is still very busy and most weekends have been tak- en up by Class training, Welsh Squad, GBR Transitional Squad or simply time on the water getting to grips with a new boat.

    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.
