(Executive Vice-President), (General Secretary/Treasurer), Racing Rules Committee), limyRO> Roy Gardner (Chairman (Chairman Technical Committee), Gilles Vuillemin, Horst Kronke, (Nominated Members). IYRU_ Affiliation. Following submissions by seven National Yachting Authorities, the Permanent Committee of the IYRU have agreed to accept the control of International Model Yachting under their Union’s umbrella in the form of a division. It was unanimously agreed that this decision by the IYRU was an important step forward for International Model Yachting and a most satisfactory achievement of the IMYRU aims and objectives of the past few years. The conditions of affiliation of the IMYRU to the IYRU were stated in a letter from Mike Evans, Executive Director IYRU to our President dated 8th December 1988. During discussion the P.C. resolved the following: It was considered unnecessary to go to the IMYRU membership for approval for the changes required because the P.C. was given a clear mandate at the 1982 General Meeting at Dunkirk to follow this course of action, and it was discussed at subsequent P.C. meetings. Jan Dejmo gave a presentation to the meeting explaining how the IYRU works and how the new Model Yacht Division would fit within the IYRU organisation (schematic diagrams are attached with these minutes). Naviga have been kept informed of developments and have been invited by the IMYRU to become part of the IYRU transition. This will be discussed by the Naviga Praesidium at their meeting to be held in Vienna in February. Horst Kronke proposed that because of the cost of travelling he should brief the Nauticus representative at Naviga, Walter Hille, who will. be attending the meeting. i A sub committee was formed to deal with drawing up a new Constitution which will be sent out to National Authorities for approval by postal vote. The sub-committee is: Norman Hatfield (Chairman), Jan Dejmo, Roy Gardner, Gilles Vuillemin and a Naviga representative if Naviga wishes to become part of the new organisation. It was agreed that the new name of the Yacht Racing Division. IMYRU would be IYRU Model Style and Logo. Jan Dejmo agreed to design a new letter heading the IYRU logo. incorporating Racing Rules Appendix. Appendix this is to be is too included in the at the printers.

The system of having class secretaries has worked well. The job description of class secretaries will be formalised. It is anticipated that these secretaries will be the focal point for the formation of Class Associations and when these Associations are formed they will become the class specialist to the Class Association Committee. The procedure for the formation of Class Associations was discussed. It was resolved that a National Class Association should contact other National Authorities sailing the particular class of yacht. If the other National Authorities agree, a small representative committee should be formed, who first of all should draw up a Constitution for the Class Association. This would be forwarded to the ?.C. for approval. Rule Interpretation. Resolved that in future when a request for interpretation by either the T.C. or R.R.C. has been received, such requests are made public in Model Yachting News. Acquaints. Resolved that in future Model Yachting News publish as an IMYRU acquaint the important decisions made and items currently being discussed. Alternative Racing Rules. At the request of the Swedish Yachting Association Jan Dejmo and Hans Lagneus have written the Alternative Rules regarding rightof-way rules. It was intended as simplified rules for youth but would be useful to any yachtsman. They will be translated into English and will be available from Jan Dejmo to anyone who requests a copy. The P.C. gave guidance to the R.R.C. on the maximum number of heats per race and this should be reduced as far as possible, depending on the potential frequency clashes and sailing conditions. It was recommended that there should be no more than 5 heats/race if only one course is used. Future Championships. 1) European RM, Italy 2-9th September 1989.

A letter had been received from Hans Kukula, General Secretary, Naviga, thanking the IMYRU for the invitation to participate in the ERMC Italy and WRMC Las Palmas. He regretted the fact that they could not be combined IMYRU/ Naviga championships but accepted the situation. Naviga have decided to hold their own championships in Poland 5-14 August 1990 for 1m, RM and R10r classes to which IMYRU members are However, Naviga have suggested that the lm and R10r invited. should be combined IMYRU/Naviga World Championships. It was agreed that the President should reply, accepting the invitation to the Naviga Championships but pointing out that it is as yet too early to consider a World Championship for the One Metre Class as it has not yet been officially adopted as an International Class by IMYRU. Furthermore, the P.C. was not in favour of holding another combined event as in Berlin but hoped that future Championships would be held in the name of one world authority, that is under the umbrella of IYRU.

An appreciation by Madame Michelle Lahure. Horace Boussy was only twelve years old when he boarded a high-sea fishery ship for the first time. He sailed several times to Chile on board one of the big ships of the Bordes Company and consequently sailed round Cape Horn. put his kitbag on steamers and led an adventurous Colon, San Francisco, Cape Town, A few years after the first lasted over the world; Sydney… World War he put his bag ashore and worked as a locksmith for the gas company in St Denis, France. for sailing and devoted all life all Then he from then on he kept his spare time to model yachting, longing a passion that to his dying day A relentless worker, he came to learn all large number of model yachts. the ‘tricks of the trade’ and built a Little by little he perfected a rather personal technique of line building with wide planking, either architect’s designs, particularly in association with Louis Lucien Faure Dujarrie, or personal designs. He was also a sailmaker and equipped his own boats as well as his opponents. His passion for model sailing induced him to take part in international regattas as early as 1936. In 1963, twenty seven years later, he was rewarded for his efforts when he finally won the Yachting Monthly Cup, the only French victory in the A class World Championship, a race sailed for some 65 years by skippers from America, Norway, Germany, Holland, Belgium, Denmark, Sweden, Scot land, Ireland and England Getting ready for a race means that kind of weather conditions that the skipper are to be met such places in France suitable for that lake at Gosport tunes his boat up under every during a regatta. purpose for a vane boat There are no [except the Villevenard in the middle of the seventies] so in 1936 he arrived at with a fin and skeg boat of his own design which he proceeded to tune in early morning to late evening sessions before the race days, a tribute to his enthusiasm. Eighteen years later, in 1954, Horace Boussy was again one of the party, with a railway strike to contend with into the bargain. He used to travel by public transport from his home in La Plaine St Denis via Calais/Dover to London Victoria and onward to Gosport or Fleetwood carrying not a 6kg Marblehead but an A class in a 2.2m * .35m # .35m box, with a 20kg lead, and in his clothes case an evening suit for the dinner dance and also his wet weather wellingtons!!! From these deatils you can appreciate how strong his will favorite sport to the highest he was to the high standards England, level and at in which model was to practice his the same time how totally respectful yachting was then practised in and which he was trying to encourage in France Eventually in 1963 he won the Yachting Monthly Cup and the report he wrote in issue 115 of the french magazine Modele Reduit de Bateauis a monument of understatement regarding his victory. This rather impersonal report conceals a great happiness, that of adding his name to the twenty six previuos winners on the base of the perpetual trophy and that of leading France into the great names of Model Yachting. It would be tedious to mention all the french regattas and championships where Horace Boussy came first, urged on by his great rival and friend Rene Ramette In addition to his racing successes, anxious to raise France to the highest level, he published numerous articles in the French magazine MRB and took a very active part in the organisation of th sport as President of the Federation France de Voile He also dealt with international matters as President of IMYRU for a few years. 14 | In his later journeys great to places years Horace Boussy England he had particularly glad more than fifty visiting model he went visited to meet years of yachtsmen travelled round in the model the the widely; world several ocean going friends he sailing. in Perth at had He in was times travels made all finally the age of 91, addition in of order his over and died to youth the taken to his in see and he world ill various the was through Australia shortly afterwards.

On a smaller scale, and barely within the scope of this magazine, I have been sent details of some 1/87 scale kits for some of the big cats and tris, notably the Royale, Lada Poch and Saab Turbo, Ker Cadelac and Elf Aquitaine , with more to follow. Price of the kits with hulls in resin, rigging, decals trampoline etc, with plan of colour details is between £4.00 and £5.00, and sails are available as an extra for another £3.50 per set. If you want more info on these ‘plastic kits please contact the editor. Response to the publication of the smaller Tri in the last issue has been quite good, and I can now confirm it is possible to get Jet Services hulls at only One Metre length after a new mould has been made. The drawing in this issue of the Corrigou boat featured in the issue MYN33 on page 28 is intended for background info only, and is not available as a full size plan.

IMYRU sponsored international competitions will require adherence to the specification, with the first scheduled event the 1991 WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS, in June in the U.S.A.. In support of this improvement of the class rules, the American Model Yachting Association has placed on its 1989 Ballot a motion accepting the IMYRU EC/12 Rule for the class. The motion was made by the class secretary and seconded by 42 individual skippers including the current AMYA National Champion, Kelly Martin, and past Class Secretary, Carter Cain. General support for the rule appears to be growing with the realization that all hulls will be grandfathered, that the new rule would govern the 1990 U.S. Championships, and that substantial flexibility exists at the local fleet level to keep the fleets growing by emphasizing sailing rather than nitpicking. Voting will take place in August and is expected to bring out a larger percentage of the class than ever before. The OWNERS’ ASSOCIATION has embarked on an effort to produce a measurement certificate supporting the new rule, as well as a measurers guide. The secretary of the OWNERS’ ASSOCIATION (Rod Carr) is also maintaining a file in which questions and suggestions for fine tuning of the new rule will be collected. Care and protection of the rule must be a continual commitment, and all skippers with comments are requested to send them in. This column will begin a section devoted to class specification issues for presenting all contributions. The first step in this direction is the correction of an error which went uncorrected in the draft, though pointed out by many reviewers. The mast location of attachment is coincident with the jib correction will hopefully be issued by the The OWNERS’ ASSOCIATION has the upper side stays stay attachment.
