  • Yachting Victoria Yardsticks – Catamarans
    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 – CATAMARANS Date: 1 September 2015 Version: 1.0 INTRODUCTION Yachting Victoria Catamaran yardsticks are prepared to provide the fairest possible calculation of results for mixed fleet “Off the Beach” catamaran racing. The yardsticks have again been comprehensively reviewed for the 2015/16 season. Yardsticks published over the past few seasons for the more popular classes, with reliable high quality race results data, were predominantly derived using a “performance” based system, with data sourced and statistically analyzed from published results of major mixed fleet regattas, mixed “Class Championships” and to a lesser extent mixed fleet club racing. This methodology or “Performance” based analysis for these “popular” classes has been maintained for the current review. However, consistent with the 2014/15 review, an additional check or validation against the ISAF Small Catamaran Handicap Rating System (SCHRS – refer following Heading) was undertaken on all classes. Yardsticks for less popular classes, where reliable race data was unavailable or limited, are determined largely from SCHRS ratings. Regrettably though, with the exception of several well supported and popular classes, reliable and good quality race results data continues to be difficult to source (with some notable exceptions) and/or assessing the quality of various competing crews has been challenging. Furthermore, under a strictly performance based system only, new and/or modified classes cannot realistically be allocated a yardstick (even tentatively) in a timely manner, until club/regatta race results from at least several boats with well performed crews are assessed.

  • Weta Trimaran Flyer
    TheThe New New Weta Weta Performance Performance TrimaranTrimaran comes comes to to Canada! Canada! Be one of the first in Canada to own a New Zealand-developed Weta high performance trimaran! Six years of development and refinement by New Zealanders Roger and Chris Kitchen has resulted in the Weta, a high-speed trimaran that is easy to handle both on and off the water. Input into its development has come from world-renowned sailors and every component has been tested for strength and efficiency. First launched in 2003, the Weta is fast! Fully tuned, the boat will easily reach speeds of up to 15 knots and test even the most experienced sailor! But it’s also a great boat for teaching young and old alike to sail because its stable and simple to sail - and there’s no boom to hit your head! It’s well balanced and easy to helm on all points of sailing and tacks easily in even the lightest of breezes. The boat is lightweight, quick and easy to rig and packs up to the size of a laser for transport and storage. Fully rigged it only weighs 220 lbs (100 kg) and can be ready to sail in less than 20 minutes. There are only five lines to control all three sails and the mast is so light that kids can rig the Weta and launch it effortlessly from the specially- designed trailer. Features: Light and responsive on the helm Easy to tack Extremely stable in jibes and tacks Fast! Top recorded speed of 16.3 knots (18.6 mph) Less than 20 minutes rigging time Two piece carbon mast with boomless main Fully battened jib Roller furling gennaker (screecher) Easy to store and transport (disassembles to 4’ (1.7M) and fits on a specially designed beach trolley Pacific Winds Sailing Inc.

  • FEATURED: MULTIHULL FLEET Summer Is Behind Us for the Year As We Approach Fall
    AUSTIN YACHT CLUB TELLTALE September 2020 Sailing during Covid-19 Sail safe, stay healthy! Message from the Commodore Hopefully the heat of the FEATURED: MULTIHULL FLEET summer is behind us for the year as we approach fall. The City and County have recently moved from Covid Stage 4 Restrictions to Stage 3, and hopefully to Stage 2 soon. Unfortunately, given the orders from the City and County that limit gatherings, we have had to cancel the Annual Banquet for this year. Given the lack of sailing and other activity this year, we have also decided not to present most of the Annual Awards. In place of the Sailing Awards, we are asking for nominations for Special Service to the Club Awards for those who have gone above and beyond during this crazy year. Nominations can be submitted via the website. More details in this issue. The Board will review the nominations and make selections. However, take heart, the Blue Duck Award will be presented at the Annual Membership Meeting along with the Special Service Awards. The Blue Duck nomination form is also on the website. The Board is planning a couple of Covid-compliant regattas for the weekends of October 10th and 17th. See Vice Commodore Diane Covert’s column for more details. As of now, the Skippers meetings will be via Zoom before the regatta, and trophies acknowledged by Zoom afterwards. More details online and in this issue of the Telltale. Although we have had some much needed rain, not much of it has ended up in the lake, so look for dock moves starting very soon.

  • 2018) – Legendary Multihull Sailor, Randy Smyth (Fort Walton Beach, Fla.), Won His Record-Setting Fifth Career Hobie Alter Trophy for the U.S
    Final Report: FORT WALTON BEACH, Fla. (April 22, 2018) – Legendary multihull sailor, Randy Smyth (Fort Walton Beach, Fla.), won his record-setting fifth career Hobie Alter Trophy for the U.S. Multihull Championship this weekend in his hometown of Fort Walton Beach, Fla. The 2018 U.S. Multihull Championship was hosted by the Fort Walton Yacht Club in conjunction with the WetaFest. Smyth earned the title following three days of exciting racing on Choctawhatchee Bay in the Weta trimaran. Sunday’s fourth and final day of racing was canceled due to incoming storm fronts and Smyth’s one-point lead over Mike Krantz after (Flowery Branch, Ga.) stood for the victory. The 41 competitors (33 singlehanded, 4 doublehanded) tallied 10 races this week, Thursday through Saturday, in a variety of conditions. Smyth finished with 20 points, won three races, and never placed worse than fifth (throw-out) in any race. The performance was one point better than Krantz’s 21 points, who won four races, but his lone throw-out score was a 20 in race five. Robert Hodges (Covington, La.) finished in third place with 37 points. “It was a learning experience for us all as we were learning the Weta, and we were learning from each other all week. We had all the players on the same playing field at the same time,” said Smyth. “We had so many conditions as well – smooth water, choppy water, high wind, medium wind, light wind – it was really quite a test.” “There was a lot of enthusiasm here this week with new faces and world class caliber sailors,” he added.
