  • Portsmouth Number List 2016
    Portsmouth Number List 2016 The RYA Portsmouth Yardstick Scheme is provided to enable clubs to allow boats of different classes to race against each other fairly. The RYA actively encourages clubs to adjust handicaps where classes are either under or over performing compared to the number being used. The Portsmouth Yardstick list combines the Portsmouth numbers with class configuration and the total number of races returned to the RYA in the annual return. This additional data has been provided to help clubs achieve the stated aims of the Portsmouth Yardstick system and make adjustments to Portsmouth Numbers where necessary. Clubs using the PN list should be aware that the list is based on the typical performance of each boat across a variety of clubs and locations. Experimental numbers are based on fewer returns and are to be used as a guide for clubs to allocate as a starting number before reviewing and adjusting where necessary. The list of experimental Portsmouth Numbers will be periodically reviewed by the RYA and is based on data received from the PY Online website (www.pys.org.uk). Users of the PY scheme are reminded that all Portsmouth Numbers published by the RYA should be regarded as a guide only. The RYA list is not definitive and clubs should adjust where necessary.

  • August/September 2020 FO the TELLTALE SMOOTH SAILING SINCE 1956
    Folsom Lake Yacht Club August/September 2020 FO THE TELLTALE SMOOTH SAILING SINCE 1956 COMMODORE'S COLUMN The Lost Year It almost sounds like the name of a bad science-fiction movie ... The Lost Year. And, it sorta feels like one. We’ve been living through a seemingly unending disaster movie, for the past 6 months. While we sailors might have hoped for The Endless Summer, what we got is a cross between the Twilight Zone, Outbreak and Groundhog Day. And now, our skies are painted dirty white, soiled with wildfire smoke. What next, Hitchcock’s "The Birds?" No, Alfred Hitchcock never conceived anything as terrifying as 2020. No one would have believed this toilet-paper-hoarded, face-masked, quarantined, riot-stained, dirty-aired, triple- digited year. Before anyone concludes that I am discounting the seriousness of Covid-19 or the many disasters we've endured this year, I can assure you that the FLYC board and I, have taken the pandemic very seriously. Enough so, that most of our events got cancelled - Cam Cup, Trans Folsom Lake Yacht Club 1 Folsom Lake Yacht Club August/September 2020 Folsom, the entire Spring Series, Summer #1, Lady and the Tramp, KEMR, Bigs and Littles, Governor's Cup ... even the Cup Boat Regatta, and that's not even supposed to be a serious event. Well, at least it wasn’t a total loss. After instituting a Covid policy, and State Parks reopened the lake to boating, we did manage to salvage a few events. There was a great turnout for the last three race days of the Summer Sunset Series (if you have never sailed summer nights on Folsom Lake, you're missing one of life's great joys) and the Centerboard regatta also had perfect conditions.

Important Note The RS Vareo is an exciting boat to sail and offers fantastic performance. It is a light weight dinghy and should be treated with care. In order to get the most enjoyment from your boat and maintain it in top condition, please read this manual carefully. Whilst your RS boat has been carefully prepared, it is important that new owners should check that shackles, knots, mast step bolts etc. are tight. This is especially important when the boat is new, as travelling can loosen seemingly tight fittings and knots. It is also important to regularly check such items prior to sailing. Make sure that you have a basic tool kit with you the first time you rig the boat in case there are tuning / settings changes that you wish to make. First time out Apologies to all the highly experienced, race winning and world girdling yachtsmen amongst you for this last piece of advice! New boats always take some getting used to. If it is blowing the doors off and the waves are dumping on the beach, why not curb that impatience to get afloat in your new toy. If the conditions are favourable, the chances are that you’ll have far more fun and learn the techniques used in the RS Vareo much more quickly.
