  • Historical Portsmouth Number List
    Historical Portsmouth Number List 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 average performance of each boat across a variety of clubs and locations. The numbers in the PN list may not reflect the peak performance of each boat. Historical numbers are listed below and have been collated from the RYA's archive of PN lists. It should be remembered that the Portsmouth Yardstick number list has been through a number of changes and the numbers listed below have had conversion factors applied where needed. It should also be remembered that whilst all efforts are taken for PN's not to drift, relative performance of older boats may be quite different to modern classes. The numbers are given as a starting point to help clubs arrive at a fair number and if these numbers are used then they should be reviewed regularly. Users of the PY scheme are reminded that all Portsmouth Numbers published by the RYA should be regarded as a guide only.

  • 'British Small Craft': the Cultural Geographies of Mid-Twentieth
    ‘British Small Craft’: the cultural geographies of mid-twentieth century technology and display James Lyon Fenner BA MA Thesis submitted to the University of Nottingham for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy August 2014 Abstract The British Small Craft display, installed in 1963 as part of the Science Museum’s new Sailing Ships Gallery, comprised of a sequence of twenty showcases containing models of British boats—including fishing boats such as luggers, coracles, and cobles— arranged primarily by geographical region. The brainchild of the Keeper William Thomas O’Dea, the nautical themed gallery was complete with an ocean liner deck and bridge mezzanine central display area. It contained marine engines and navigational equipment in addition to the numerous varieties of international historical ship and boat models. Many of the British Small Craft displays included accessory models and landscape settings, with human figures and painted backdrops. The majority of the models were acquired by the museum during the interwar period, with staff actively pursuing model makers and local experts on information, plans and the miniature recreation of numerous regional boat types. Under the curatorship supervision of Geoffrey Swinford Laird Clowes this culminated in the temporary ‘British Fishing Boats’ Exhibition in the summer of 1936. However the earliest models dated back even further with several originating from the Victorian South Kensington Museum collections, appearing in the International Fisheries Exhibition of 1883. 1 With the closure and removal of the Shipping Gallery in late 2012, the aim of this project is to produce a reflective historical and cultural geographical account of these British Small Craft displays held within the Science Museum.

That led me to re-read years of yearbooks and what a publication it is. Where else would you find tales of derring do on the high seas and burnt burgers in the same publication? The yearbook is a true collaboration, Doug Lamont who puts it together, would have nothing without the contributions from members and support from our generous sponsors and advertisers.

  • Pre-Modern Sri Lankan Ships and Shipping
    1 [ E:RESEARCH] 2002 SHIPS AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF MARITIME TECHNOLOGY IN THE INDIAN OCEAN. Parkin,D. and Barnes,R. (eds.) RoutledgeCurzon, London, 2002. ISBN 0-7007-1235-6 (Papers read at the second conference in the series The Indian Ocean: Transregional creation of societies and cultures organized by the Institute of Social and Cultural Anthropology, University of Oxford, and held at St.Anthony’s College, in May 1998) Chapter 5 PRE - MODERN SRI LANKAN SHIPS Somasiri Devendra Introduction There are many references to Sri Lankan ships in the historical records of Sri Lanka, as well as other countries. Yet, we have little idea of the appearance or structural characteristics of the early vessels. This paper, which tries to find an answer to these questions, is presented in two parts. Part 1 states the hypothesis and the path followed to test it. Part 2 describes the traditional ships that survived into this century. The inland watercraft, which are important 2 for a fuller appreciation of this subject, is not dealt with here as I have dealt with them at length elsewhere. (Devendra 1995: 211-238) PART I Hypothesis All Sri Lankan ships and watercraft developed from two basic forms that evolved out of the interaction between the inshore maritime environment and the biological resources of the island. Shared cultural links with, and technological forms prevalent in, south India were the other parameters. When Sri Lankan vessels eventually ventured farther out into the ocean, these basic forms underwent further and greater modification to fit the new environment. Contacts with foreign ships calling at Sri Lanka and experiences gained by sailing in foreign waters, exposed Sri Lankan mariners to types of craft and technologies that had originated in different parts of the Indian Ocean (and beyond).
