Box 963 Ballina 2478 Autumn weather at last and what a pleasant day to sail! A South East course was set with a start near the RSL but the breeze direction was confused just prior to the cat start with it going completely South West. This didn’t last long and we pretty much had a Sou-Easter when the hooter went. As usual got a good start and lead the way. had parked near the line and was in a good position when the hooter went but stalled when the breeze went light in that period. The majority of the race seemed to have some wind shifts towards the South at times, balancing these shifts with the slow outgoing tide early in the race helped to sort out a race order fairly early on. up front, newcomer Claudia Juan sailing the club laser next, until Grace and Graeme Turner overtook her. Alter Ego made the most of the conditions . Not long after the start 2 Richmond River Sailing and Rowing Club website: www.rrsrc.com.au P.O. Box 963 Ballina 2478 On the second leg Cameron in overtook with his Impulse loving the tight reach wind angle. Graeme Hodgins in got going as well, settling into third spot fairly early on. Graeme Hodgins in ‘Retro’ After a slow start Des’s relished the leg running past the club, catching and overtaking . By the time and were eyeing off the bottom mark, it was apparent that it was a two horse race up front, with right on the tail of . Grace and Graeme really pushed Alter Ego for line honours 3 Richmond River Sailing and Rowing Club website: www.rrsrc.com.au P.O. Box 963 Ballina 2478 Meanwhile, Steffen didn’t have a crew to sail with in the Pacer until Kirah was suggested and they did very well to be rigged and there in time to start in . They didn’t have a great start but they got out onto the track and settled into a good sailing rhythm by the second triangle. Both reported enjoying the race very much. It’s wonderful to see ‘learn to sailors’ getting out there and racing! Hopefully they’ll race in the next pacer race as well. But… where were Peter and Susie today, three pacers would have been great! Steffen and Kirah, rigged and sailed at the last minute Claudia Juan in her first club race in Black Pearl and had a fun race in ‘Penny Puffin’ The order didn’t change again apart from overtaking on the second work, which lasted only for a couple of legs as Des’s superior downwind speed took hold again. Colours of the day 4 Richmond River Sailing and Rowing Club website: www.rrsrc.com.au P.O. Box 963 Ballina 2478 The day went to the speedy solo sailed , with the also speedy not too far behind. Wilful Intent battling Alter Ego Despite ’s good race, Trent and Daisy just couldn’t reign them in. Thank you to Rolly, Ric and Blade in the rescue boat, Gunter in the tower and Chris and Nick Larson in the kitchen. 5 Richmond River Sailing and Rowing Club website: www.rrsrc.com.au P.O.

Box 963 Ballina 2478 A fleet of four fifteens and three RS100’s fronted for the start. Notable in the F15 fleet were Laura & Francine again sailing and Clare, making her first return to sailing after 23 years on the sideline and crewing with Dan Bradford on . It was a good starting line, minimising the crowding and barging at the boat end, with all the boats getting a good start, with the possible exception of which understandably took a more conservative approach. Numero Uno Once again, the fifteens quickly moved out into air which was clear of any influence from the other monos, even if there were still affected by the disturbance of the light winds by the large sailed Trailer and Cat fleets that got away ahead of them. For the first work and much of the first run Michael & Tara in , Barry & Anna in and Daniel & Clare in enjoyed a close tactical battle with many changes of lead. 7 Richmond River Sailing and Rowing Club website: www.rrsrc.com.au P.O. Box 963 Ballina 2478 Mr Bond in good breeze But by the bottom of the first run, had fallen back, leaving the other two to continue the battle. Meanwhile, Garry in RS100 was quick out of the blocks and again lead the Rs100’s up the first work. The first lap was tight between the three RS100's. Vince then got in the groove in to pull ahead on each upwind leg, while not yielding his progress on the downwind legs. Vince under kite 8 Richmond River Sailing and Rowing Club website: www.rrsrc.com.au P.O. Box 963 Ballina 2478 Up the front, pulled ahead of on the next work and for a while looked as though it was going to romp away. But in the shifty winds, nothing was certain. Repeatedly came charging in from behind to narrow the gap or even take the lead, only for to get ahead again. Trade Secret greeting Tango One spectacular example was a gust that hit both boats half way down the third run, pushing them both double wired under spinnaker toward the rock lee wall past the RSL. The same old duelling pair 9 Richmond River Sailing and Rowing Club website: www.rrsrc.com.au P.O. Box 963 Ballina 2478 With about to T-bone the rocks, it was forced to drop its kite and reach up for sea room while sneakily dumped its main and rolled the front of its kite to claw its way out of trouble (Michael was heard to concede to Barry after the race he might also have had the benefit of a lightening of the gust). At the top mark, turning down for the last run, was less than a boat length ahead when fouled its tack and capsized. That should have settled the race. But again, a spectacular twin wire run by and a spinnaker drop problem by at the bottom mark brought them back together at the end of the run for a close battle up the last work. The finish would have been much closer had Michael not fallen out the back of while trying to be too clever in executing a fast tack. Fast work by Tara saved a capsize and fast swimming by Michael brought him back to the boat, but the result in favour of was settled. In the RS100’s, Vince's lead was unassailable until, oh no ... the spinnaker halyard knot failed on the last run down the Straights of Ramada. Duncan Never Say Die took the lead to finish a minute ahead of Vince. Duncan putting in the hard work Garry came in about five minutes later unintentionally dropping his kite on the finish line, due to hitting the quick release rope. 10 Richmond River Sailing and Rowing Club website: www.rrsrc.com.au P.O.

This left 9 cats at the start of the race, which was well contested although was behind the fleet, possibly slowed by the weight of the cameras. 12 Richmond River Sailing and Rowing Club website: www.rrsrc.com.au P.O.

  • SHAPE Takes You on Tour Through the Gurit World, Discovering Just That: New Materials, New Markets, New Ways!
    The Gurit Magazine Issue 07, September 2010 Introducing RENUVOTM – The new blade repair system. B3 SmartPacs introduced to the American market. Inauguration of the new Tooling production campus at Red Maple. Ground transportation relies on composite materials. Customer development – the partnership approach. Dear Reader What does it mean to be a global company? There are many ways of defining this, and many apply to Gurit: We not only serve attrac- tive global markets but are also locally present in many different areas of the world. Today, more than half of our colleagues work at Gurit production sites in Asia. This is remarkable, especially consid- ering that it was just four years ago that we opened the first fac- tory in China. This summer we had the great pleasure of officially inaugurating a quantum-leap expansion at our Tooling equipment factory in Taicang: Red Maple has added a whole new manufacturing cam- pus allowing for the manufacture of next-generation blade moulds for wind turbines of up to 7 MW. This new set–up allows us to take the Tooling business to a global level, selling an increasing number of moulds to customers in and outside of China. In addition, we have also extended our core material kitting capabilities in Tianjin where preparations are now under way for the installation of Gurit’s first PET extruder to manufacture our new PET based fam- ily of structural core materials. Being – or going – global is also true for Marine: We have success- fully extended our marketing reach by targeting new international boat building markets in the Mediterranean and the Middle East and through the international roll out of the B3 SmartPac Engineer- ing and Materials package across the globe.

EDITORIAL: NOTE: Please copy, attach and email all of your friends who can then email the editor to receive their free monthly eTillerscope newsletter. Hello there, Allow me to introduce myself. 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.
