On Sunday 2nd March the first round took place at the Cotswold MYC lake when twenty-five skippers (five from each club) took up the challenge. A race matrix had been devised whereby the skippers were divided into five groups, each group comprising of a skipper from each club, the allocation to a group being decided by means of a draw, each group sailing against the other groups in turn in a ten race series. At the end of the first round the names were again drawn to form five new groups and a further ten races were sailed. At the end of the day each skipper had sailed in eight races and with one discard the final results were calculated. The weather for the previous two Bees MYC and Swindon ra number of years the days had not been very good with strong winds and rain. However, on MB&YC have been combining to bold a series of 1M races. As the same names kept appearing at the front, a handicap system was devised to encourage the lesser skilled and this certainly opened up the competition. However, as the fleet only comprised eight or ten boats, the Cotswold MC decided to invite clubs from further afield. There was a positive response from the Oxford, Woodley and Sunday morning, after some early rain, the RAF Lynham Meteorological Office forecast, was for sunshine with high cloud and a wind strength of 13mph, gusting occasionally to 10mph. The prediction proved correct, giving ideal racing conditions. Skippers initially tried No.1 suits but this proved impractical and soon everyone was on No.2 suits. Occasionally the odd No.3 suit appeared although the variable wind strength did not make this the right choice overall. The race system allowed for a mixture of abilities to sail together although as one might expect the more experienced skipper soon appeared at the front. However, even for those there was a need to be keep a wary eye, in case a novice sailed off his proper course. Within the competition there is a team trophy that will be awarded to the team with the best score after all five events (one at each club) with three team members counting. After the first round the places are:- 1. Cotswold; 2. Swindon; 3. Oxford. Cotswold’s members were delighted with the response and everyone had a superb day of friendly racing.

I gathered so much information at and about the One Metre World Championship that it has taken a while to digest it. It has been a long time since we had anything like a thorough survey of who was sailing what in such an event: indeed it has been a long time since anyone set about such a mammoth task. In the past it was frequently a joint effort and the 1997 event was a similar situation. While I concentrated on chatting up the race organisation to gather race and sail usage data, Gary Cameron was doing the hard slog of gathering the details of who was using which boat, what radio they were using etc. The issue sees the publication on this side of the world of the data that Gary put together, added to some further information from the race organisation. I was wondering whether to prevail upon John (the Editor) to print the chart, but lakeside conversations convinced me that some of you might find the information interesting, as it is the first time we have had such a wealth of material about One Metres. Unfortunately we still have a few holes in the information but there remains a useful coverage of the equipment in use by the majority of the World Championship entries. I am indebted to Gary Cameron, Peter Haworth and Grant Watson in particular for giving me access to the information which allowed me to put this table together. That period around the other side of the world must have had a profound effect on me for I keep unearthing little thoughts that still MODEL BOATS VOL. 47 - No. 557 linger in my mind from New Zealand: like the overheard comment uttered from one Australian sounding skipper to a British Skipper (not me) during the second day of the event: “If you can’t win by fair means: you have to win by foul...!” Do you realise that it is now only two years until the next One Metre World Championship in Malta, although the European Championship moves into the same latitudes next year, when Opporto becomes the Portuguese venue for the intervening ISAF Regional Chapionship in 1998: so we had better start planning. They are both likely to be popular venues and, as the MYA didn’t exactly pack the top places in the last worlds, competition for the places is likely to be tough. Opening the accounts for that qualification started in Wales during March, then switched to the East coast in April - I went to both and report on one this month, the other next. South West District One Metre Ranking Race Twenty seven of the twenty eight entries gathered on a chilly Knapp Lakeside on Barry Island in South Wales for the first of invoked in radio events after at least the first the 1997 MYA One Metre Ranking races. Race Officer Andy Wright gave an admirably short briefing only punctuated by a question and sometimes the second general recall of a heat, requires that anyone on the course side of the start line during the one minute to start time period must return to the pre-start side around the marks delimiting the start line. It seems that this is a usual practice in the South West, but Andy was cautioned that the last ranking race where the Race about procedure which he had announced that was contrary to what is laid down in the SSIs. Andy had told us that the ‘round the ends’ rule was to be applied from the very start of the competition. This rule, usually 65 ' Top: Racing at the Euro Grand Prix was frequently as close as this: there are fourteen yachts in this shot as Woodstock and the rumoured deal that SSI was declared void.

Thus many places were lost and gained on the second, main, beat. The same proved to be true on the short dashes from the start and to the finish also. The heavy conditions proved too much for 66 Chris, Rob Vice, Tony Edwards, Rupert Jefferies and I had been having a fairly concentrated battle all day although the Chris and Rob affair had probably been the most directly obvious which had sometimes given the others a chance to sneak through and gain some places at their expense.

MODEL BOATS VOL. 47 - No. 557 Knapp Lake The South Wales MYC have quite a nice piece of water in the shape of the Knapp lake: it is not outstanding in the facilities available but is better than some. It has the advantage of being paved all around with a wooden, water level, bumper protecting the concrete edge for most of the perimeter. It’s somewhat irregular, trapezoidal shape would make vane free sailing tricky and the provision of three pontoons or bathing platforms at one end also provide something of a hazard to ‘shipping’. Another drawback appeared later during the afternoon whena trio of what looked like Mirror Dinghies with oars were launched at the windward end and just occasionally strayed down into the course area causing particular consternation in one B Heat as yachts tried take avoiding action. The lake has another advantage in that, like Bournville, it is wadable by anyone equipped with waist or chest length waders so placing marks and rescuing yachts is a reasonably easy process. The venue is to the south of Cardiff and approximately 20 minutes driving time away from the M4 junction 33. I noticed quite a number of hotels and motels on the way to the lake so it could make quite an interesting venue for a weekend event, provided those rowing boats did not proliferate.

Unfortunately, for several reasons - not the least of which was the lack of possession of what might be considered a currently competitive boat, I was unable to join in the fray as I was last year when Roger Stollery loaned me his fabulous Roar Edge. Never the less some thirty six entries were gathered together in three EORS heats for a total of fifteen races over the two days of racing in relatively light North West winds. The lake, opposite the Thorpe Water Park near Staines, was seen from an entirely different angle this year following some last minute bank side work by the landlords which had made the usual operating zone temporarily unusable. The whole organisation and launching operation was shifted to the diagonally opposite end of the lake which precluded some of the very long legged courses that Race Officer Roger Stollery has been known to set on this lake. The wind prevailing for most of the Easter Bank Holiday came in from that end of the lake so skippers were treated to some interesting twists and turns as they sailed into what is the narrow end of the lake with just a little vegetation and fencing to provide just a measure of ‘protection’. when the wind approached from just about every point of the compass. Torvald Klem showed that he is admirably at home in such conditions and gave an impressive demonstration of how the port end should be used for starting to get to the first mark with a sufficient lead to get home first. He was not By the finish of the penultimate race Torvald had a comfortable lead over Graham and completed the meeting with a gap of 14.3 points between them: reversing the finishing places in the 1996 Worlds. First day leader Christian Goubet could not repeat his consistency and found the variable Sunday alone however, and in race 13 Gordon Maguire showed what took him to the UK National winds just too much: he dropped to C heat towards the end of the meeting - and couldn’t get out: sounds familiar doesn’t it? He eventually finished the regatta in fifth place having been passed by “the come-back kid” which obviously suited French skipper, Champion slot with a similarly impressive first place. Gordon had gone into the second day with an impressive score: a ‘full house’ of 235 points after not starting in any race at all. He Christian Goubet, who put in a consistent performance, including three wins to end the World’ commitments on Saturday and could Marblehead development has gone there only sail on Sunday. His performance, to climb were only eight designs represented in the 36 from last up to twenty first, earned him the “Improver's Trophy” and saw him come out of entries: one of them has actually appeared in these pages several years ago and marked the return to ‘the circuit’ of Ian Cole. Stick was almost the original skinny UK Saturday morning started with the reigning World Champion, Graham Bantock, and the runner-up Torvald Klem stamping their mark on the meeting in rather blustery North West winds. As the day progressed the winds moderated to between 2 and 5 mph day in first place with 17.7 points. So well was he ‘in the groove’, reading the shifting winds and judging the lay lines, that he finished the last race of the day with a whole leg lead. Graham was in second place, five points adrift, and Torvald Klem a further 8.7 points back in fourth place. The ‘meat’ in the Bantock/Klem sandwich was Paul Jones almost equally spaced between them: while in fifth place was Martin Roberts. Sunday morning dawned with rather more variable winds than had been experienced on the first day, staying light from zero upwards.

But we are notin that game, are we? Along with this reintroduction we are to be ‘given’ another sliding scale of variable ‘time out’ times: so the longer the duration of the heat the more lea-way one has. What seems to have been forgotten is the overall time limit for a heat of 30 minutes. The iniquitous aspect of this, the one that will assuredly raise tempers and psychological pressure, is that instead of receiving a score for being in a position within a race commensurate with one’s last heat, even though one has failed to reach the line in time, one is now going to collect a whole fistful of points. The score for being ‘out of time’ will, from now on, be the same as for the ultimate transgression - being disqualified. That is, the total entry for the event, plus one. Just imagine: you have managed to fight your way up through the C heat, then the B heat to arrive in the A heat; then the wind turns into a fickle twister and you have the misfortune to be on the wrong side of the course while one of the light airs specialists gets a breeze. What happens? You are lumbered with a score which is exactly the same as if you didn’t bother to put your boat in the water at the start of the C heat. How would you feel - peeved, or what? That cannot be considered a just reward for all the effort: you would have been better off staying in the lower heat. Here we have a fine example of the not so subtle art of demotivation! Having now had the chance to both sail under, and read, EORS 97 I sat back and thought about it. It has a few good points, mainly carried over from the previous version, and I suppose the limitation to a maximum heat size of 18 yachts could be seen as an advance but it does impose some During the Euro Ranking meeting there was a fair bit of lakeside discussion going on about what is rumoured to be happening to the racing systems.

It has undeniably brought rigs being used were of the swing variety and a smoothness to the running of our radio there was an equally overwhelming use of regattas and, though it can present the serious limitations on large entries, requiring more heats than its predecessors. Of course the effect of more heats is to cut down on the number of races which can be achieved within any given race time. So we are likely to suffer less satisfactory regattas.
