JOHN January 2nd., 3rd., 4th. TONER. 1988. Racing started at 1130 in ideal sailing conditions, a 10 -12kt. Southerly and a temperature of 23 C. Entries were divided into three 11 boat fleets and three seeding races sailed after which the boats were ranked into A, B, and C fleets. Racing at the top end of A fleet was as expected very close. In some of the races where the wind dropped to around 8kts. Bill Pettingell’s lightweight design was to the fore. In the perdominently medium breezes the Pandas seemed to have the edge. During the course of day 2 the wind got up to around the 15 – 18kt. range and the Ray Eades designs came into the picture. A total of 16 rounds of Championship races were sailed and the last two rounds of A fleet were a lesson to the rest of the skippers in defending your lead. Congratulations to Mike Newman on a well sailed series and a deserved First place. Pat Cox is to be commended on his Fourth place as he was carrying quite a few pounds more (in his boat) than the Pandas. Other notable performances were Paul McGilvray’s 7th. (sailing his WIFE’S boat) in only his second regatta, and Merrick Reese’s 12th. as the only Junior in the event. Trophies were presented by 0O.0.D. John Toner at aé# Barbecue on completion of racing.

January 5, 6, 7,8th. 1988. Twenty different designs were represented in this year’s event. Eleven Maltese Falcons of various Marks, were the most numerous, and judging by the number of orders placed for the Mk.3 version after Ron Attard blitzed the fleet, there will be flocks of them around by the end of the year !!. With an International entry again this year, interest centered on the performance of our local designs against the Rajah 2 , No Secret, RM1000’s, and Geoff Smale’s modified Bee. In the end our locals did extremly well- two Mk. 3 Falcons will be winging their way to New Zealand in the near future as well as one to Hong Kong. The weather for the four days was varied , day 1 was a good 65in. suit day with 12 – 15kts of Southerly wind and smooth water. Day 2. started with the first two heats having only one boat finish within the time limit, however the breeze picked up and remained in the 8 12kt. range for the remainder of the class racing. 0.0.D. Alan Drinkell got racing under way at 1130 sharp. The proscribed three rounds of seeding races were sailed, and at their completion the entries ranked into four fleets. 22 A total of 19 races were sailed and Ron Attard with 12 wins was the clear champion. His boatspeed in all conditions had to be seen to be believed. By the end of day 2 the fleets had stabilized and the racing in in each fleet was very tight.I managed to sail the last five races A fleet, and found it less hectic than the lower fleets, pity it took me three days to work my way up there!!. Trophies were presented at a Barbecue following racing, and Brian Carroll of UNIQUE SAILS presented the SAILS TROPHY to Ron Atterd as leader on points at the mid-point of the regatta.

In general the wind remained a Northerly of 15 20kts. with numerous gusts’ to 28kts.In one race on day 1 the entire A fleet failed to finish within the time limit due to the wind being too strong !!!. David Coode from England spent more time repairing his borrowed boat than he did sailing it!. Rob Guyatt’s new Brewer design (Vapour Trail) showed great speed and a lovely smooth action through the big chop, but had to miss some of the races in the heavier wind due to a failure of the internal structure. Watch out you RA skippers at the Vic Championships in March, Rob will return!. : Pat Cox and his Wigzzle Wogzle won their fourth RA National Title. Pat started with 3 wins in the seeding races and just kept on going. He didn’t have it all his own way and was pushed hard for most of the time by Geoff Wiseman. There were some unusual keel shapes to be seen. Brian Ealy had a winged keel a la Australia 2. Brett Hallett had a lifting body (early space shuttle shape) on his ORCA 2 design. This was this 10kg.

Shackles are rigging elements used for both standing and running gear. Wherever a shackle is located, the rigging may be opened, closed, modified, and prearranged parts exchanged. The versatile application of pekabe shackles ist already shown by the fact that they are used in unmodified form as components for a wide variety of items. So that the running gear actually runs… »Central to the pekabe range« are the well-proven model yacht blocks known since 1970. Developed by pekabe together with their ball-bearing mounted cord sheaves and sea water resistant NEOX lubrication. Ball-bearings offer up to ten-fold lower friction than plain bearings! pekabe basically use only brass and stainless steel material. The blocks feature elegantly designed, true to shape sideplates made of very hard plastic; the silk-matt surface contrasts outstandingly with the bright, nickel-plated brass components. Large cord sheave diameter assures easy running of guided cords and sheets. Small radius of shackle bow allows perfect alignment of blocks in the cord tension direction. The easy-guiding sideplates ensure the cords do not jam. Cord diameter may be up to max. 1,8 mm. 410 Single block. The single block, consisting of no fewer than 17 individual parts, is the most used on model yachts. 412 Single deck pulley. Two nuts and four washers (for above and below deck) are included with the block made of 18 parts; also small shims are supplied to lift the block (viewed from the side) on one side where required by the direction of cord tension. In plan view, the blocks centreline keeps the cords apart (see cover picture). In all there are 26 parts. 420 Double block. 422 Double deck pulley. Made of 28 individual parts. Nuts, washers and shims as for 412. Everything said about the direction of tension also applies to 422. 430 Triple block. Made of 41 individual parts! Jewel of the range! The shackles of blocks 410, 420 and 430 obviously are detachable to enable them to be directly inserted into eye-screws or 406. The spacers are designed so that they remain in place. On 420 and 430, the shackle thread represents the counterthread for the locking nut. If a block needs to be rotated 90°, a 402 ist used as link shackle ee eee eevee! 406 Hook-strap; tang. Versatile! Extremely lightweight 0,029 oz (0,83 g) but built for especially high load-carrying applications at decisive locations. The small drillhole marks the bending location (delivered flat). The long hole larger side fits M 2,6; it can take rigging hooks, swivel hooks, shackles, flat hooks and double flat hooks. Spacings of holes 1 to 3 corresponds to division of adjustable hook 451! Combined with 407, 9424, and 9421 gives 9 mm stepwise adjustment by 1 mm increments. 407 Universal-punched-strip. May be conveniently bent at each drillhole. Offers great versatility and stability. IMYRU RM National reese osport, 28th —30th may Gosport is easily accessible from all parts of the UK, the channel ports and Europe.

Once these are determined, the of the appropriate rule is, in most cases, a matter course. It yachts will come is extremely into contact unlikely with in each full size other, or sailing with that marks, or will be involved in any incident involving a_ potential infringement of a Rule, without the skipper and crew being aware of the fact. Therefore the provision that yachts which are involved in an incident, as a result of which there is no protest and neither yacht performs an alternative penalty, must be disqualified is based on the assumption that such failure to take action is an attempt to evade the Rules rather than the result of ignorance of the incident. The one situation in which a full size yacht can reasonably argue that her crew were not aware of the infringement is the premature start. Here IYRR provides for the Race Committee to inform premature starters of their by fairly, have as is possible, similar size manned yachts.

If Observers are used I hope that IMYRU will decide that they should be used only in an active role.

The intention to use passive observation should be a conscious decision, announced in the Notice of Race, and not an improvised expedient to meet a last minute shortfall of menp ores A Note by Russell 27 Potts 8 Sept 1987 ACTIVE AND PASSIVE RACING SUPERVISION The “administration of justice” in yacht racing is unique in two aspects: 1. Competitors have the possibility to be their own judges by re-rounding a mark or accepting an alternative penalty, and 2. A protest hearing is not an exceptional occurance. I have found a fundamental difference in approach in RC yachting between the skipper who have a “full-size” background and those who haven’t. Those who haven’t, often don’t realise the consequences of the above mentioned principles and want to see active judges like for example in football. However, this is an error of thought as yacht racing belongs to the type of sports where competitors shall move from one point to another as fast as possible without breaking the rules. It is not a sport where a referee can stop the process, distribute a penalty and then start the game again like in ball sports. Active judging creates problems in yacht racing and let me take an example. Two yachts touch and the judge decides that yacht B shall do penalty turns. Consequently yacht A continues to sail the course. B does not accept the decision and protests A. After the race there is a protest hearing and B manages to satisfy the jury that she was the right of way yacht. A is then disqualified and does not now have the opportunity to do penalty turns. This is to show that active judging can’t be employed in yacht racing without restriction the jury’s freedom of action. Restricting in the way that the jury should not be permitted to disqualify a yacht that they have found infringed a rule if the yacht was deemed to hold right of way by the active judge be to at the time of the incident. Another possibility would of course by an active judge shall be final, but this decide that decisions taken would completely change the whole structure. Further, I have found that experienced yacht judges are reluctant to act as active judges as they find it very difficult to do it in an accurate and fair way in match racing, even more difficult in team racing and almost impossible in fleet racing. The heat racing systems used in RC yachting is in this respect to be regarded as something in between team racing and fleet racing. Most of what is said here about active judging also applies to “active observing”. Another example: Two yachts touch and neither protests or do penalty turns. A third yacht then protests both yachts (IYRR 33). I can then imagine two alternatives. Either the observers have not seen the incident, but the involved yachts will argue that there was no call from the observers, or one of the observers saw the incident and will the consequently tell that there was no contact (otherwise he should have called). Apart from the confusion and possible aggra- vation, the third yacht will now have the possibility to lodge her protest if neither still has not protested the other, or done penalty turns. Ii the third yacht manages to satisfy the jury that there was a contact, both involved yachts will be disqualified. Again the problem can only be solved by either restricting the jury’s freedom of action or by deciding that the observers’s decisions shall be final. Active judging and observing also makes it difficult to decide what is: “at the first reasonable opportunity after the incident” (IYRR 68.2) and “a yacht that realises that she has infringed a rule of Part IV shall acknowledge her infringement by immediatly starting to get clear..” (Appendix 3 – 1.2). It must also be rememberred that observers not generally have the rule knowledge and experience of a race judge. The observers will also be regarded as part of the race committee (IYRR 1.2 and 1.4) 28 and a yacht that feels that she has been mislead by a call from an observer can then ask for redress (IYRR 69). Further, an observer that finds that a yacht has infringed a rule will initiate a protest committee protest (IYRR Part IV Definitions and 70.2). Considering these facts, I think it is very unsuitable to observers (active or passive). A practical in most is consequence cases, a call will it found over his or that are too her and if mark, course It is race is try happens, they will turns protest or to observing However, seems racing to suit cases be sail more another the risk rules. skippers. heat. the to The to sail don’t is marginals re-round reason a protest have skippers bigger prepared I skippers observing with yacht. of If to there that the sometimes get will the Sometimes, observing that is is that the This event is is hearing a of and a increase used they rule is of how the It is and not feeling the to destroy the competitors tike trying active race just to but joy follow increase to cure the the rule a is it to seems and is generally to be. it will like to settled. not exceptional satisfied that find out used to dangerous goal to must avoid approach be correct to any by preventing protest taking to the observer.
