On Another Tack…. A man appears before St. Peter at the pearly gates. "Have you ever done anything of particular merit?" St. Peter asks. "Well, I can think of one thing," the man offers. "I came upon a gang of macho pirates who were threatening a young woman. I directed them to leave her alone, but they wouldn't listen. So I approached the largest, meanest, nastiest one. I smacked him on the head, knocked the parrot off his shoulder, ripped out his ear ring and threw it on the ground and told him, 'Leave her alone now or you'll answer to me.'" St. Peter was impressed. "When did this happen?" The man replies, "Just a couple of minutes ago..." Jul-Oct 2015 Page 5 From The President ver the last few months there has been a signifi- cant amount of sailing activity including ranking O events, state champion- ships, national championships and a world championship that saw great representation from Australia. Craig Smith (12th), Glenn Dawson (26th), Allan Walker (58th), Kirwan Robb (28th) & Lyndsay Walker (35th) flew the flag for Australia at the re- cent IOM worlds in San Francisco and they certainly made us proud as well as a little enviable. Well done guys. Elsewhere around our country IOM state championships have been sailed in QLD, VIC & SA with Scott “Bomber” Backhouse winner in QLD and Craig Smith winner in both VIC and also SA. In South Australia, following their state titles the Marblehead Nationals were held with Dave Turton winning with his Mantra design RM ahead of fast finishing Lincoln McDowell. As we look to the second half of this year there are a number of events in the schedule. In Queensland the Eddie Cowell Regatta will be sailed on the Sunshine Coast at Club Kawana, this will be big! Already we see 26 boats entered from far and wide, 5 boats are expected from WA, others from NSW & Victoria and it would be no surprise to see the number of entrants in the high 30s or even into the 40’s. Escape the cold and head north to Queensland for the regatta to be held on 15/16 August. A month later and the NZ Nationals will be held in Hamilton, again it is cer- tainly appearing as though Australia will be well represented at this event with indications of ten or more Aussies heading across the ditch to take on the Kiwis! Page 6 Jul—Oct 2015 Our own Australian Nationals are well in the advanced stage of planning with the “croweaters” looking to show us an event to be remembered. The nationals will be at Harts Mill in Port Adelaide and is a new venue for SA which was trialled at the recent SA states & RM nationals and has proven to be a great venue with successful regattas run. Further details will be on the ARYA website. All the activity has not just been on the water, the ARYA committee has been working toward the finalisation of a revised constitution which will be presented at a SGM on the 7th July, in addition the committee are currently reviewing our Hazard and Risk Management process to ensure a safer envi- ronment for all of our competitors and of course we’ve recently introduced a PayPal payment option for all our registration fee payments which has no doubt made the entire process a whole lot easier. Next event for me is the Eddie Cowell followed by the NZ Nationals, I hope to see you there! Sean Wallis From The Secretary ince the last Radio Waves, the committee has been very busy con- tinuing work on a few issues and finding important new issues that need attention. S The boat registration process has been refined and seems to be working very well. The main change was for ARYA to introduce PayPal as the preferred form of payment and at the same time cancelling EFT pay- ments, which were the cause of most problems, and arguments. The Constitution has been refined by the committee and the states over the last few months. My thanks to Jul-Oct 2015 Page 7 Bruce Robbins who did most of the actual researching of SA Govt legal requirements and most of the actual writing of the changes. There was plenty of input by the states and some individuals. My thanks to all of the above. A Special General Meeting has been called for July 7, and will be con- ducted by phone hook-up between the committee and the states to define the direction to finalise the constitution ASAP.

I am based in WA and do not travel to East Coast events, where I know the class is stronger. However, hopefully there is enough information here to enable you to find out more information where I have not covered the boat that interests you. The photos in the article are either taken off the Australian Radio Yachting Association website or are mine. I hope I have not offended anyone by using their photos to help promote the class. The links provided through the article and at the end are specifically there to assist Europeans find supplies not readily available in the UK or close by.
