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.

    8th 17 1837-2014 Australia Day Regatta Endorsed by Celebrating 92 YEARS OF BUILDING SUCCESS www.awedwards.com.au White Bay Cruise Terminal RAS Main Arena (Skoda Stadium) Newington College Liverpool Courthouse 8th 17 From the President This has been a time of double celebration for Sydney Harbour. In early October 2013, the International Fleet Review, which hosted ships from twenty nations, was a spectacular celebration of the 100th anniversary of the establishment of the Royal Australian Navy and commemorated the arrival of the first seven ships on 4 October 1913. Today’s celebration on Australia Day reminds us of our history, honours those who contributed to that history and celebrates the foundation of our nation. In doing so, we acknowledge the first Australians and pay respect to the Gadigal and Cammeragil people, recognising them as having been fine custodians of Sydney Harbour. On this 178th Australia Day Regatta on Sydney Harbour, hundreds of sailors and their families will participate in a wonderful spectacle on one of the world’s greatest waterways. The Anniversary Regatta, as it was then known, commenced in 1837 just one year after South Australia was proclaimed a colony and before Victoria, Queensland or Tasmania (it was still called Van Diemen’s Land) were formally declared provinces. There is no better way to mark the birth of a nation surrounded by sea and developed through our great maritime heritage than by participating in the Australia Day Regatta. We welcome all those who have entered their craft, large or small, old or new. With the support of our host clubs they will celebrate Australia Day on more than 20 different waterways.
