Hi All,<br><br>Just so you know that there is at least some interest: I had looked forward very much to competitions like the uni games, but had already planned a trip back to Melbourne over that time-Easter (it would've helped if I had earlier notice of when the competitions were on). <br>
As far as competitions go, looks like I'll settle for the Uni Games in September. <br>However, could someone please post a list of all upcoming trips/competitions for this year, so I could put it on the website for everyone? From Alex's message, it seems like there are a lot of trips, and it would help people to keep track of them if there was a reference somewhere. <br>
<br>Thanks,<br>Vince<br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Mar 25, 2011 at 1:09 AM, <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:sailingclub-request@mailman.anu.edu.au">sailingclub-request@mailman.anu.edu.au</a>></span> wrote:<br>

Hi sailors,<br>
<br>
I can order one more set of racing outhaul and downhaul (not the vang, it's<br>
expensive and it becomes crucial only in heavy winds) as well as a new<br>
bailer to keep cockpit dry. I just need a message from someone committed to<br>
participate in the regatta and install the parts with my help. Please,<br>
contact me ASAP for it will take some time for the parts to be delivered.<br>
<br>

Hi sailors,<br>
<br>
There was an opinion that my proposal on the allocation of racing lasers was<br>
unfair, and there should be another way to distribute the best boats such as<br>
a "qualification race" or a ruffle. My proposal was based on the results of<br>
a series of twilight races throughout this season and Wallagoot Regatta.<br>
Sorry, if I offended other experienced sailors, I just didn't have a chance<br>
to observe you in a race.<br>
<br>
I leave it up to Jennie M. to lead further discussions on the matter of boat<br>
distribution and the format of the qualification races. Once the format is<br>
chosen I'll help with the organisation of the "qualifications".<br>
<br>
So far only three people have expressed their interest to participate in the<br>
Australian Uni Regatta, so at that point I don't see a problem with the<br>
allocation of the boats, but I could be wrong as always I am.<br>
<br>
I'm confirming to do a training session this Saturday at 13.00.<br>
The "qualifications" could be set as a part of the session if you agree on<br>
the format by this time.<br>
<br>
I was wrong that this week is the last week of the twilight savings, there<br>
is one more week when it's still possible to sail after work. So I might set<br>
one more twilight on it's usual time, if there is an interest.<br>
<br>
<br>

Hi sailors,<br>
<br>
There is a discussion on the boat allocation procedure in the committee,<br>
which as I think concerns more the potential regatta participants rather<br>
then only committee members. That's why I'm making it public to hear the<br>
opinion of interested people rather than just committee members who might<br>
not all participate.<br>
<br>
1. There is currently no problem with the boat allocation for there were<br>
only three people who expressed their interest in the event. Thus, if you're<br>
even slightly interested, please, send to me a message or wright your name<br>
down here<br>
<a href="https://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0Amzdi8zUl6sxdDN4cDl0aVg0c0Z3VzJiOTRUTnQwSGc&hl=en&authkey=CNbFuYkL" target="_blank">https://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0Amzdi8zUl6sxdDN4cDl0aVg0c0Z3VzJiOTRUTnQwSGc&hl=en&authkey=CNbFuYkL</a><br>
so that you will be sure that you can get to sail a boat you want and we<br>
could see if there is a problem with the number of boats - participants.<br>
Don't leave it till the last weekend before the race, for it could be hard<br>
to rearrange this things then.<br>
2. Below Jennie proposes three possible ways of boat allocation if there is<br>
a problem with it (which currently isn't).<br>
In my opinion, there is only one boat which makes a difference (Race I). The<br>
performance of other boats (provided they have proper control lines) will<br>
depend more on the skills of the sailors. I don't mind in-home races with a<br>
racing committee and the blood and urine tests of the contestants, or using<br>
a hat and so on, but, in my opinion, whatever we do should be done<br>
reasonably quick. I think that if people stuck on the stage of dividing the<br>
boats too long, they might loose more than if they would just grab a boat<br>
and spend more time sailing her, figuring out her potential problems, fixing<br>
them and tuning the boat with my help.<br>
<br>
I'm saying again we don't have too much time that we could waste.<br>
In a week we are having a coast trip.<br>
In two weeks Batemans Bay, which I'm ready to sacrifice to help people<br>
preparing their boats for the regatta and provide some more race training.<br>
In three weeks we'll be so loaded with the organisation duties, preparing<br>
the shed and so on that we won't have time to deal with the boat allocation<br>
let alone in-home races.<br>
<br>
Thus, in my opinion, it would be good if people would know what boat they'll<br>
be sailing and could start tuning her and train on this very boat not later<br>
than in a week from now.<br>
<br>
And last, I was criticised today so loud and endlessly that I'm not sure<br>
anymore whether I'm doing right things for the preparation to the regatta.<br>
I would appreciate, if you could send to me your feedback, so I would<br>
understand if I'm wrong or right, and either replenish my energy and will<br>
(which I all lost after arguing for a day over a problem which doesn't exist<br>
yet) to continue my activity or just shut up and leave it on the people who<br>
have better vision on this matter than me.<br>
