Box 963 Ballina 2478 Newsletter Items, Idle Gossip, etc to [email protected] (Deadline midnight Monday) RACING – Sunday 3 Sept Trailables 1st CC 040917 (Thanks Colin H – Ed) 1st day back .. to hear what mates have been doing in our Winter .. too see the Club improvements … check out the new Rescue Boat … see new faces & new boats.. A sunny day with a light gusty Northerly, forecast to build to 20knots late afternoon., & slack tide just turning to run in. The uncertain wind put the course down near the ferry, which always in gusty coming across the streets & buildings. Father’s Day had depleted the fleets, & Trailables were Reg Shades & Rabbit. It is always an impossible task to set a true windward Leeward on that course & wind .. just can’t get the last bit of angle. The work easily laid in one tack, but does keep crews guessing as to whether to just crack off a tad, or keep height all the way, but .. anyway .. a drag race. Rick & Millsey set a good Line, but it the leg is about who has clear air, the boat behind always trying to pinch above, & the boat to Leeward doomed. The wind held pretty true, so by the 4th final lap we all had the work leg pretty well figured out, where to free up & where to harden. Downwind, apart from the odd surprise, the 20knots never turned up, & no gybes .. made it another drag race. We all had some bursts off good pressure, so some rides thinking is this wind gonna keep sending me .. but most bursts of speed were fairly short, then back to watching for the next gust. Reg [Bill & Zac] did a better job of the day, & got the gun, with us other 2 not far behind. Nice to be back on the water, but let’s hope we don’t have to use that drag race course too often for CCs. MONOS Congratulations, Des, on another win! Roy looked great, in his new 125. Graeme T, with daughter at the helm of their NS/MG, made it to the Start-line, and back, without mishap (well done, folks). 3 Richmond River Sailing and Rowing Club website: www.richmondriver.yachting.org.au P.O. Box 963 Ballina 2478 Newsletter Items, Idle Gossip, etc to [email protected] (Deadline midnight Monday) RACING – Sunday 3 Sept Cont’d) Cat Chat no 1 season 17/18 (Thanks Dave – Ed) Hi All and welcome to the new season. Huey did his best to get us into the swing (or swim) of things with a good ol’ blustery northerly. The course was set upstream of the RSL due to concerns about the rock wall coming into play. As is the norm for said conditions it was not pretty. While the wind strength wasn’t overly high there were the usual freight train bullets coming down the streets and between the buildings. The top mark was the usual lottery causing a number of missed roundings and whoops, let’s try that again scenarios. It was thanks to two of these that Sweet As… managed to overcome an abysmal start and pass first Neo and then No Waiting. Good to see Roy back on the water, albeit minus one hull. Roy is now showing his skills in a very pretty, refurbished 125 dinghy which used to belong to the club. After plumbing the depths with his mast for a while at the start line I’m not sure how many more swims he had before eventually retiring. Hopefully friendlier conditions next time Roy! Will we see the kite? Welcome back to Geoff on Neo too after an absence towards the end of last season. Others testing the water temp with a swim were Col and Norm. Col later related difficulties righting Shore Thing as neither of his righting ropes were tied on properly. Hmmm! Results have been posted so I won’t dwell on them. Suffice to say if you make a bum start all is not lost. Especially on our river. Not much away action to report on from the winter break. Most of the regulars bar me went to Wivanhoe to get lost in the mist and drift around in mostly light conditions. Yours truly took part in the Humpybong Winter Bash on the Sunday only for the marathon. A pleasant day out on Bramble Bay in 6-8kts of breeze. Definitely one for the calendar in future years if there’s a bit more wind. Will Richards scored a third at the Cootharaba All Boats on his Taipan and was also seen zipping around on a kite board? Most notable traveller story has to go to Zac who voyaged all the way to Poland for the “A” class worlds and scored a respectable 42nd out of 125 entrants. Zac sailed all races and came 11th and 9th in the first two. Well done young man. Ian Mitchie also attended finishing somewhat further back due to a couple of dnf’s. Helen and I are off to Townsville at the end of this month for a bit of a break, Sweet As... in tow, for the QUEENSLAND NACRA TITLES. No H is not taking up sailing with me again, opting to laze the days away in a hammock with a book while I brave the big chop on Cleveland Bay. The plan is to include a round Maggie Island race which will be awesome in the right conditions. Any more starters….?? Tfn, Sweet As… 4 Richmond River Sailing and Rowing Club website: www.richmondriver.yachting.org.au P.O. Box 963 Ballina 2478 Newsletter Items, Idle Gossip, etc to [email protected] (Deadline midnight Monday) CLUB NEWS (cont’d) GOING……… GOING ……….GONE The water tank is gone…..next to go, is the ugly grey fence between the Club, and the new Pool PACER REPAIR TEAMWORK Many have chipped in to get our Club Pacers ready for the season. Graeme T, Simon & son, and I (Ed), got started last Sunday. Baz repaired a gooseneck, free of charge. Kynan is doing some fibreglass repairs, for free (under close female supervision ;-)). Tony, at Ballina Fibreglass was going to squeeze in the job, at an extremely cheap “Club” price, but Kynan beat him to it. 5 Richmond River Sailing and Rowing Club website: www.richmondriver.yachting.org.au P.O. Box 963 Ballina 2478 Newsletter Items, Idle Gossip, etc to [email protected] (Deadline midnight Monday) G'day Mark Earle dropped by the Club today, as he thought he'd find fellow water-people to whom he could promote the film of his 1985 expedition. He is planning a repeat journey (next year I think). This seems reasonable to me, as worth a brief mention in our newsletter if Phill or others agree. Cheers, Duncan PACER TROPHY SERIES Will YOU, and/or your kids, be the Champions? The inaugural Pacer Series Race dates are: 8/22 Oct, 5 Nov, 3 Dec, 18 Feb, 4/18 March, 29 April The Pacers will sail as part of the Mono fleet, in the normal afternoon races, but will only compete against one another.

  • Sailing Comprises Wind Propulsion of a Craft by Means of Sails Or Other Airfoils and Steering It Over Water, Ice Or Land, Depending on the Type of Craft
    Sailing - Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sailing From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Sailing comprises wind propulsion of a craft by means of sails or other airfoils and steering it over water, ice or land, depending on the type of craft. A sailor manages the force of the wind on the sails by adjusting their angle with respect to the moving sailing craft and sometimes by adjusting the sail area. The force transmitted from the sails is resisted by forces from the hull, keel, and rudder of a sailing craft, by forces from skate runners for an iceboat, and by forces from wheels for a land sailing craft to allow steering a course on a point of sail with respect to the true wind. While there are still some places in the world where sail-powered passenger, fishing and trading vessels are used, these craft have become rarer as internal combustion engines have become economically viable in even the poorest and most remote areas. In most countries sailing is enjoyed as a recreational activity or as a sport. Recreational sailing or yachting can be divided into racing and cruising. Cruising can include extended offshore and ocean-crossing trips, coastal sailing within sight of land, and daysailing.

    New Horizons Project: Seniors Interviewing Seniors - Valuing and Sharing Rural Narratives Citation: New Horizons Project: Seniors Interviewing Seniors - Valuing and Sharing Rural Narratives (268 pp.) Mersey Tobeatic Research Institute, Kempt, Nova Scotia 2015 Printed on 100% post-consumer paper New Horizons Project: Seniors Interviewing Seniors - Valuing and Sharing Rural Narratives INTRODUCTION Seniors Interviewing Seniors: Valuing and Sharing Rural Narratives was a project co-ordinated by the Mersey Tobeatic Research Institute (MTRI) in the summer and fall of 201. The communtiy-based project of provided seniors an opportunity to preserve the oral history of western Annapolis County and Queens County. The goal was to reach out to seniors and involve them in interviews relevant to their past livelihood in terms of their skills, knowledge and experience on topics such as past land use, lifestyles, forestry practices, farming, wildlife, and concerns for the future. Through sharing their memories and anecdotes, local seniors provided a comprehensive overview of the past lifestyles, communities and biospheres of these counties. This historical knowledge and information is important to record as it is in danger of being lost as our population ages and it will help in understanding changes in land use, and vegetation and animal populations in southwestern Nova Scotia. The project also addressed concerns regarding the isolation of seniors by encouraging their social participation and inclusion. The participants felt respected and valued as their knowledge, observations and opinions were sought. The information that seniors shared gave valuable insights that MTRI and others with interests in the biosphere and history of the area can use in future research and initiatives.
