  • Portsmouth Number List 2019
    Portsmouth Number List 2019 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 via PY Online. 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.

  • Brigham Sailing Club
    Amaryllis -75 year old Brigham Sharpie restored by David Hamilton and racing again. maryllis, locally known as a “Brigham Sharpie”, was built around 1930 ago by Walter Silverwood, a founder member of the Brigham Sailing Club. Walter was an amateur boat Abuilder and one of a group of yachtsmen from the Hull area who sailed on the River Humber, Hornsea Mere and the Driffield Navigation from the early 1900s. The Humber Yawl Club Yearbook of 1933 records – “A few years ago, three or four men who sailed on the Upper Hull started a small boat club at Brigham for the purpose of arranging races each weekend. The project has grown considerably and there were at Brigham during the summer of 1933 a fleet of 13 boats – 3 sharpies, 4 open boats, 2 International 14s and 4 canoe-yawls” “All the boats are rigged with a single balanced lug, except “White Rose” and “Arline”, both of which are Bermudan sloops”. Amaryllis was built almost entirely from mahogany using plank on frame construction. The bot- tom, sides and deck were originally ¼” thick x 12” wide mahogany planks. The hull design closely resembles a Norfolk Punt, she is 16’ overall length and 4’6” beam. The single hollow pine mast carries a 175 square foot balanced lugsail bent on bamboo spar and boom. The mast, spar and boom are all original. She has a forward hinged centre-plate and a mahogany rudder blade which can be both raised to clear weed and shallows. Right Walter Silverwood Left Racing in 1930, Walter in Amaryllis closely followed by Gypsy.

The article provides an analysis of these issues which are indicative of the bilateral relationship in general. The analysis of the 1972-2010 period traces the reasons for the erosion of the implicit agreement in 1972 and 1978 between the two countries to shelve the territorial dispute, using Constructivist as well as Realist approaches. The second part contains a case study of the 2010 and the 2012/13 Senkaku incidents, the latter and most serious one started by Ishihara Shintaro, the right-wing Governor of Tokyo, when he declared in April 2012 his intention to have his local government buy some of the contested islands from its private owner which prompted the national government of Prime Minister Noda to buy them instead.
