One day they went to her place and made love all afternoon. Exhausted, they fell asleep and woke up at 8 PM. A The man hurriedly dressed and told his lover to take his socks, shoes and trousers and wet them in the sink. He put them back on and drove home. "Where have you been?" his wife demanded. "I can't deceive you. I'm having an affair with my secretary. We had sex all afternoon.'" She looked down at his damp socks, shoes and trousers and said: "You lying bastard! You've been out sailing again!" Nov—Feb 2017 Page 5 From The President t would appear that not much happens in Radio Sail- ing in 4 months. Not much except for a couple of World I Championships, a European Championship, a US Nationals and numerous State Championship events. Australia has been well represented at both the 10R & Marblehead Worlds with Lincoln McDowall (12th), David Turton (31st), Andy Reid (38th), Jeff Byerley (47th) and David Thomas (49th) in the Marblehead Class while in the 10R, Garry Bromley (7th), Andy Reid (11th), David Turton (19th) and Jeff Byerley (28th). In addition, Lindsay Walker & David Turton represented us at the IOM European Championship while Tim Brown flew the flag at the IOM US Nationals. It takes a lot of effort to even prepare an interstate trip with an IOM let alone fly half way around the world with a 10R or Marblehead. Well done all of you, you have done us proud! Of particular note was that ‘bloke with no boat’ attending the Mar- blehead & 10R Worlds this, on the back of his attendance at the IOM Worlds in San Francisco, and while I think he considers himself as some sort of coach, I’m leaning toward ‘serial pest!’ Well done Secretary for another terrific performance! This year’s Eddie Cowell IOM Regatta on the Sunshine Coast has proven once again to be one of the largest events on our calendar Page 6 Nov—Feb 2017 boasting 42 entries from across Australia and included five sailors from New Zealand. Congratulations to Paul Jones who won the event in perfect sailing conditions. Next year’s event looks to be even bigger than ever with the event penned in to being a three day event! Victoria hosted the 2016 RC Laser Nationals at Yarrawonga Yacht Club over the weekend of 17-18 September and was won by Kirwan Robb with Graham Brown 2nd and Scott Mitchell 3rd. The event was organ- ised by PLRMYC and while conditions were not ideal for the weekend it is understood a good time was had by all. As I mentioned, there has been numerous State Championships and the reports are on the ARYA website but congratulations to our win- ners: VIC IOM State Champion Kirwan Robb WA A Class State Champion Glenn Dawson QLD IOM State Champion Garth Halton VIC RC Laser State Champion Scott Fleming QLD A Class State Champion Peter Morris SA 10R State Champion Tim Arland ACT 10R State Champion Stephen Sedgeman SA A Class State Champion Tim Arland TAS RM State Champion Stuart Dawes WA 10R State Champion Sean Wallis SA RM State Champion Scott Mitchell NSW RM State Champion Scott Condie Our Race Management Committee continues to be active and as I re- ported previously they have been tasked with reviewing our Standard Notice of Race, Sailing Instructions as well as a Race Management Nov—Feb 2017 Page 7 Policy for the running of our events. The Standard NOR & Sailing Instructions covering events in 2016 was completed and in use while with the introduction of the Racing Rules of Sailing for 2017-2020 the committee are reviewing the required changes to be implemented for events during this period. The Race Management Policy document has been completed and is now being reviewed by the Executive Committee and barring some minor changes will be implemented in the near future. The work by this team while exhaustive, will provide a concrete base for consistency in the running of ARYA events and I once again thank the team for their efforts. As we look to the future we still have a number of major events on New from Hales Micro: Surface Mount Block SMB-1 Blocks are supplied with two 2mm stainless steel washers, two plastic 2mm flange washers, a plastic 3mm washer and a M2 x 12mm stainless steel bolt and nut.
