Presidents Report HeinzStaudt,President n I March 1993,aNewAge started as far as the construction of the 470 is concerned. From that date all boats built haveto comply with the Building Specification, except where temporary variations (which comply with the current class rules) are permitted by the IYRU, upon application by the builder, on the grounds that they require further time to make necessary alterations to mould tools. There is now an additional reouirem e r r tt h a t a l l b u i l d e r ss h a l ls u b m i td e t a i l s of the actuai specification they intend to build to within the reouirements of the Building Specification, for approval brthe IYRU.The details must include information on each layer of glass reinforcement and resin used in all laminates, details of all other materiais used in the construction (e.g.types and grades of rvood, foam, adhesive,etc) and methods of construction

These details must be submitted as a written schedule or plan(s) and should be accompanied by actual samples where appropriate Once approved by the IYRU fhe builder willbe reauiredto build all boas b rhesubmitted speciJicationunrtl further cl-rangesare approved by the I\RU upon request by the builder. T h e i n t e n t i o n o l ' t h i sn e w r e o u i r e m e n t is to ensure that all queitions ol interoretation on construction matters are dealt with before the boats are built. and to prevent expensive "one-off" special boats by requiring builders to build all their boats in the same way. It exceptional circumstances the IYRU may approve two specifications for a builder (e.g. to produce more robust "student" models in addition to racing models). Most builders have already applied to the IYRU for permission to begin manufacture under the Buildins S p e c i l i c a t i o n a. t a l a t e r d a t e .T h e y w e r e authorised to do so,with the proviso that items which can be imnlemented immediatell re.g. minimum skin thickness),be indeed applied as of nor.v ln conjunction with the Building Specificationwe also modified our bare

hull weight philosophy. The bare huli weight will only be an instrument of quality control, in future, and will no Ionger be verified on the occasion of championships but at the builders premises only. In addition, many items weighed as part of the "bare hull" in the p a s t . w i l l c e a s et o b e s o w e i g h e d . The rule now reads: "The bare hull weight including stem fitting, shroud fitting and traveiler ba4 if fitred, shall nor be less than 86kgi' Although we were unable to obtain the inclusion in the Building Specification, of all ciass rule wording adopted b1'our General Assembiy Meeting, I am sure that our class can live with the specification as approved. We aiso have taken the chance to reword some of our rules and include some new rules and wordings as decided on our AGM 1992. Without entering into details of all pertinent changesI would like to stress the following points: Rule 723: Specification for control of the fore and aft mast bend and play sider.vavs at the level of mast partners.

Building Specification, Interpretation As would be the case with any such innovation, many queries reached us especially during the first several weeks with regard to the exact meaning of one term or another. And yet, we had tried so very hard to formulate everything most cleariy! Seepage xx for clarification of some of the more harder to grasp rules.

Qatar International Regatta (5-15Febru^ry 1993)

This regatta was sailed in the 470 and Laser classes. The organisers had succeeded in alreadygetting l2 nations (from Hong Kong to Europe) to compete in the second event of this typg which was certainly facilitated by the favourable conditions being offered with regard to air travel, accommodation, and catering arrangements. Another factor which certainly helped was the fact that supplied equipment was used, which was rotated among competitors as well (i.e. all crews sailed a number of different boats). The fleet was divided into 4 grouPs which subsequently sailed against one another: every morning and everY afternoon, one race was sailed, with 2 groups competing one against the other each time. The winner was the crew with the lowest total score under the Low-Point Scoring System (IYRQ Appen dix 82.2).

All in all, this must have been a most unusual combination of parametersfor top-class competitors, but in the absence of such arrangements most of them probably rvould have been unable to participate at alll With that in mind, I am sure that we will be faced with similar conditions from time to time in the future Sami Abu Sheikha, the Commodore of the organising Doha Sailing Association (who competed in the 470 class during the regatta) and all his team deserve our heartfelt thanks for their excellent organising work and for their courage in applying a novel concept.

The best three scoreswere obtained by the fbllowing crews: l.

Gold Fleet: Stefan Schneider/Tomas Stemmer,

Germany 2. Bettina Lemstrom/Charlotte Lemstrom,Finland 3. Farokh Thrapore/KeliyRao, India Silver Fleet: l. Lers Nyander/Karin Nyander, Sweden 2. Mohamed AlKaabi/Zaid Al Ali, Qatar 3. SamiAbu Sheikha/HassanMazroul Qatar I alsohad the pleasureat Doha,to meet saiiors from Sudan for the first time.

Qualifying Systemfor the 1996 Olympic Regatta The IOC had required the IYRU i.a.,to ensurethat the number of competitors )e i n s a i l i n g e v e n t s( f o r a l l c l a s s e s b limited to 143. Prior to that, the IYRU had already d e c i d e d t h a t s u b s t i t u t ec o m p e t i t o r s would not be allowedat the 1996events. l r r e m a i n st o b e s e e n n o w w h a t procedureis to be applied in the event r h a t t h e l i m i t o f 4 4 3 a t h l e t e sw e r e exceeded.In the light of the growing interestof nationsin olympic sailracing (i.e.as a result of our own efforts),one may safely assumethat the number of

entries will continue to increase at least as far as boards and dinghies are concerned. We therefore have to expect that at least in those events,qualifiers will be required. Apart from the material requirement for qualifiers, in my opinion, they can also be used specifically for the spin-off purpose of promoting the idea of olympic sailing as well as the classes involved, as long as the following system is applied: The Olympic Regatta stdttswith thefirst race of the qualifier; it ends with the last race sailed in Savannah. Qualifierswillbe so located, in regional terms, that it will not only be (tttractive for all sailing nations to compete in them, but that nations will actually be able to do so. One may safely expect that on this basis, a minimum of 70 nations would compete in our class in the Olympic Regatta as such, while we could neverthelessmeet the IOC requirements to limit the number of Savannah competitors (in our class, 3C crews for meris eventsand 25 Ior rvomen s events). The question would then be secondary whether world champions and ranking list "firsts" will qualify automaticall)' (which I would be in favour ol). The IYRU is to take the final decision on the subjectby its meetings in the first week of November 1993.

Olympic Classes If I was able to sleep relatively well in London prior to the final decisionof the IYRUregardingthe Olympic classesIbr 1996,then that was due to the fact that we had persistentlyworked towardsthis election for a long time. In dctailI wish to addressthoseaspects which, in the final analysis,militated in favourof the 470being confirmedasthe Olympic classfor the eventsDoublehanded Dinghy Men and Doubleh a n d e dD i n g h y W o m e n i n t h e 1 9 9 6 Olympics,which mayrvellbe a yardstick f o r f u t u r ed e c i s i o n sc o n c e r n i n gt h e Games2000.

If Olympic sailing is to continue to r e p r e s e n tt h e w o r l d w i d e s a i l r a c i n g community (which I sincerelyhope) then it has to be in boatswhich can be

) ( )l

sailed - and are in fact being sailed all over the World! We will therefore have to continue to ensuie, as National Class Associations, that fleets are kept as large as possible, rather than limiting our efforts exclusively to fostering Olympic teams. The outcome of the London meeting has shown that classeswhich became "lean classes"through such policies, have to fear for their survival as Olympic classes. Not only is the 'f 70 being sailed by thousands of sailors at widely different perforrnance levels: that statement is also true for more than 60 countries in all continents. And it is also salled in all r e g i o n a l c h a m p i o n s hi p s . O n e o f o u r h i g h e s tp r i o r i t i e sm u s t therefore consist in ensuring that this will continue to be the same. We must continue to perceive ourselves as the driving force for the development of yacht racing especially in those countries where regatta-type sailing is not as yet an everyday activity. We have to initiate support, and - if necessary - organise,clinics and racing events. Another fact which was already clearly demonstrated at the London meetings is, that if Olympic regattas were to be reduced in future to a very few events, then the classesto be selected must of necessitybe those which really are being sailed \\brldwide. London has clearly shown that the price of a boat is indeed an essential criterion. In the case of the 470, the price/performance ratio was felt to be still acceptablg but we have to watch out. At any rate, the cost of our boat must not be allowed to stand in the way of its further evolution, and in that respect,our

Supplied material in the 1996Olympics The IYRUClassPotricyand Organisation Committee(CPOC) decidedat its meetingon 23 and 24 May, 1993,that Mistral and Laserwill be the only types of equipmentto be supplied.While a final decisionwill only occur in early N o v e m b e r ,1 9 9 3 , w h e n t h e I Y R U PermanentCommitteewill vote on the issue,we haveto expecta decisionalong the lines of the CPOC vote.

Building Specification Many of our builders were unable to start building boats to the new building specification exactly on the 1 March 1993, because they were already '93 season. producing boats for the Some lessons were nevertheless Iearned and experience made, at this early point in time: l. At PARKER'sone feels sure that new boats will last substantially longer than boats built to earlier specifications. 2. At the Spa Regatta, Ronald Rensch/Thorsten Theuerkauf sailed a MADER boat built to the new specification and without a Iaulty start in the 2nd final series, they would have been sure to win the whole series.At no time did they have speed problems!

In 1991 the IOC inslsted that our sport be made more attractive from the TV point of view; if we failed to do so, we were threatened with the withdrawl of our Olympic status. It was against thatbackground that the debate mentioned ln the beglnning was intensified and at the November 1992 IYRU meetings, the following conclusion was reached:

- Shortercourses(itwas proposedthat 4 7 0 ss h o u l ds a i la " s p r i n gc o u r s eo' [ about 30 minutes' duration). - More races in the same day. * C}-rar-rges in course configuration. - Courses to be laid inshore. - As much on-the-water judging as possible. With the parameters outlined above, startswith fleets of 80 or more boats are not longer feasible and an additional qualficiation scheme prior to the finals had to be developed. It was further decided that trial runs should be arranged for, during the race s e r i e s o f t h e 1 9 9 3 s e a s o n ,a n d m o r e especially that the organisers of the Eurolymp events shouldbe invited to do so. T h c o n e o b j e c t i v e t h a t n l u s to v e r r i d c all others, for dnyone who is committed to our sport - active competitors and oificials alike - is the requirement that all our efforts have to be aimed ultimately at a system which will make sailing not u n e t t r a c t i v ct o t o d a ; ' sr a c i n gc o m m u n i r y and future competitors, but rather more attractive (if that is at ali possible!) What good does Olympic status to a sport rvhose active participants desert it? Palamos, Anzio, Hydres and Ivledemblik were the Eurolymp test regattas held so far; and as is often the casewith innovations, there are two sides to the coin. True, rvhen any established system undergoes radical changes,some cherlshed and larniliar habits must be thrown overboard. The essential question is rvl-retherthe overall result is right. Meanrvhilg severalthings have become quite clear: - Short courses several times a daY require much better condition and concentration than one long race per day, and racing would probably becLrrnemore

athletic. - With shorter courses,consideration regarding tactics and weather conditions plal'a less important role than rvith the actual courses. - Any mistake made at the start rvould be irrepairable, with any of the course configurations tested so far - F q u r p m e n tf a i l u r et h r o w sa c o m p e t i t o r out of the entire series. - lf we are expected to Provide TV v i e w e r s w i t h s p e c t a c u l a r s c e n e s ,t h e reaching leg and gybing marks must be maintained, as far as the 470 t's concerned!

SPARegattaL993 This year'sSPAREGATTArvasanother testeventfor new courseconiigurations and qualification formulae. Was it due to this being a post-Olympic year or was it because many of our competitors had not yet come to grips with a new set of conditions, that "only" 49 male and t7 female crews competed in this regatta? The future will tell. Due to the small number oi crews, women sailed under the conventional system; only men competed in gror-rps. It's an unusual slght, to be sure,when so few 'f 70's are at the starting line! The seriesbegan with raining and cold weather but the sun came out for the last two days and there was plenty of wind (up to 6 Bft on the final day). While it is true that there is r.ro consensus among sailors yet with regard to the pros and cons ofnew coursesand qualification systems, there rl'as u n a n i m o u s a g r e e m e n t t l - r a tt h e r a c e committee deservedpraise for irs superb, zero-error work.

The 470 Scene

74. A

Newsand Viewsfrom the Penof Colin Brewer

By now, most of you will have heard that the 470 beat off the rivals of new designs and old, making the play to become an Olympic Class. So it is for us, with great pleasure that we maintain our Olympic status, but of course the challenge will not go away, and with my own country there appears to be group intent on having their class in the Olympics primarily to promote the Lazer and the I-aser5000, does the world really need the domination of the one builder scenario, especially since given to understand that there are variables in weight distribution in these classes. Our class is growing stronger on a daily basis with more nations applying for intemational status,this is reallygood for us with an international, national class of 63 countries. Today as I sit in my office deliberating the pros/cons of the of the coming sailing season,the wind is biowing force seven, the seais rough, and it is hard to imagine what to look forward to. The Doha regatta is over, and again it was great resounding success with 80 470 teams competing. This is great news for the class in the Gulf region, and we must congratulate the Emir and the sailing administration which has set up a yegatta,which in its second year has

been able to attract such great numbers sailing. With good determination, this can become a regularevent in our international calendar This year our worlds are in France. It is the 30th anniversary of the class, approximatelyfive minutes ago in my time it was the 25th anniversary also in France and Quiberon. Sailing 470 in France always has that special appeal to it, the class started there, was developed there with great enthusiasm and skill, and our 25 year celebration proved to be a great regatta. This year, the format is very similar, enabling all sailors to stand a chance to qualif' for the worlds (even me!!). I must "lose weight" - is 80kg to heavy. Pleasesupport this worlds, the French have organised the regatta near Brest, which is one of the most beautiful Darts o f F r a n c e .s a i l i n g i n t h e A t l a n t i c O c e a n should prove to be very good for everyone. From the notice of race there is plenty of camping and hotel accommodation within the Sailing Area, so you must do everything you can to take part.

1993 1993 will see the start of many of our sailors Olympic campaigns with the build up culminating in the greatestgoal of all - taking part in the Olympics in Atlanta USA. In the oast edition of the Times we have asked several sailors to write an article on their campaign. No one responded, so I would like to request this again, with a specific request from a h e l m a n d c r e w w h o a r e s t a r t i n ga n Olympic campaign, a new team would

Goldspar Austra-lia Australian based mast manufacturer Goldspar Australia has been successfully building racing dinghy masts since 1979. Through the innovative techniques applied in the manufacture of masts, Goldspar was able to come up rvith a design that has created the successful image of all its masts. G o l d s p a rc a n d e s i g nm a s t s r o s u i r individual customer requirements for their boat and crew rveishts to achieve t h e l a s t e : tp o s s i b l ea l u m i n i u m m a s t s . However, using the data gained over the years, the standard Goldspar masts available for each individual class would present the best possible featuresfor an ail round purpose client base. The process of mast making used by Goldspar involves a special way of drawing and heat treating the tube in house which in turn gives the repeatable bend characteristics which are so desirable.

it. -

Held at the Rio de la Plata in Buenos Aires last Easter, co-organized by the National4T0 Association and the Club de Veleros Barlovento, this championship was a landmark event marking the end of an era of aged boats, small fleets and mature crews, and the birth of a new Class, young teams with access to modern boats (due to the new Argentine licencee) and all in a challenging environment. The Championship brought together22 teams - 17Argentinianand 5 Brazilian, eight of them being juniors and two female crews.They competedin seven races,rwo on eachofthe first three days and another on the fourth day.

Great Fun With a gusty North, the first two races were won by the Brazilians Alexandre P a r a d e d a- C i c e r o H a r t m a n n ( 1 9 9 1 SouthAmerican Champions),who also won the 3rd raceandweresecondin the fourth in which a 30 knot westerly broughtgreatfun to the fleet.That fourth race was won by Martin Billoch and

Barcelona'92 A reviewof the Olympicsby Gold MedallistTheresahbell "F''6 win a gold medal in the Olympic G,amesis the fin1l goal that " i.. any sportsman/woman wants to achieve.All of us know that it is not easy and that many factors count that cannot always be foreseen. However well prepared one might be, wind conditions, performance of equipment, psychological pressure and last, but not least, luck, which is a factor we cannot deny that exists. We arrivedatthe Olympic Gamesasone of the favouritecrewsfor the gold. We left behind many hours of training and preparationaswell as two recentlywon titles, World Champion and European Champion.Many hopeswereplacedon the SpanishSailingTeamand although we were conscious of this we tried to ignore it as if it was any other regatta.

Champions After a wonderful opening ceremony,the final countdown was finishing. We were expected to win and we wanted to. We sailedfiom the Olympic port, just below t h e O l y m p i c V i l l a g e ,w h i c h a l l t h e Barcelonasailorsand citizenshad been hoping for such a long time and the organization on seaand ashorewas good, contributing to the successof the sailing. Even the wind decided to come to the Games! After a lot of tesringwehad decided on our equipment and were very confident about it: Nautivelahull, Proctorspars,a Russian rudder, a Spanish made

Barboleto centreboardand Toni Tio sailswith which we had worked closely for many years. We were convinced that this combination of equipment, together with our preparation and guided by coach, Toni Ripoll, was the best to try and win. Once the racing started, everything suddenly looked more difficult, after being disqualified in the first racg which meantthat it would be a nerve-wrecking serieswith no mistakes allowed from then on.

Hang on to Gold! When the last race came,we wanted to hang on to the gold medal wed longed for during such a long time and we managed it. Once we crossed the finishing line it was a greatsigh of relief, followed by an outburst ofjoy, which we sharedwith our training companions Jordi Calafatand Kiko Sanchez,who had won the mens'170gold minutesbefore. When we arrived at the harbour, there

ThewinnersRostrurlt. was a scene which I don t think I will ever forget. Hundreds of people gathered clapping and shouting in our honour. Our coach and team mates waited on the boat ramp, so we could all celebrate together..

Yeargoneby Now, nearly a year has gone by, it seems like yesterday, but at the sametimq very far away.Life continuesand the 470 class continues. In 3 years time, there will be a new fight for the medals in Atlanta. Let the best win!

The organising club, Doha Sailing Association, had invested in 12 brand new Parker 47Os and 49 new Lasers. Previously, the club had about 15 470s and 30 I-asers. A huge amount compared to Finnish clubs. The boats were all equally fitted and had similar sails and soars.The s a i l o r sb r o u g h t o n l y t h e i r o w n t r a p e z e harnessesand life jackets with them to Qatar New for 1993 was that the sailors were divided into fwo fleets: the Gold fleet for international level and the Silver fleet for club ]evel sailors. Both the Gold and the Silver fleet were divided into fourgroups. Two groups from each fleet sailed in the morning and the rest in the afternoon. Everybody had only one race a day. The regatta consisted of six races and the groups met each other twice.

Eventhoughthe eventtook placequite eariy on in the year,the weatherwas as

fine as the best summer day in Finland. We were told that during the weeks before the regattait had rained more than the previous ten years together.I suspect that somebody somewhere knew about the regatta...During our visit in Doha there was sun every day. It was 18-280C in the air and about 20oC in the water. Also the wind conditions were suitable; light to moderate wind forces, not too shifty and on some days there was a steady sea breeze. Only one race was postponed due to lack of wind, but the two days following the regatta were too windy to sail dinghies on. In 470 Gold fleet the German team Stefan Schneider and Tomas Stemmer started the regattaby winning their three first races.They sailed both intelligently and fast. As they almost had assured victory, they were polite to let other sailors win two of the remaining three racesthey participated in. The rnost even series was salled bi' the rvell knorvn Farokh Tarapore and Kellv Rao from India, they counted five second places and were third overall. Six teams got one or more first piaces. The top ten in the final results represented nine(!) different countrles. The situation in the Silver fleet was very exciting before the last race. Any of the three boats could win. The Swedish mixed team Lars and Karin Nylander won the regattaby winning the last race. Second and third place went to the host countly Qatar

Recreation When not sailing the people sunbathed and srvam in the hotel pools, played tennis and squash.In the evenings DSA had organized different social events l i k e a w e l c o m ep a r t y o . p e n in g c e r e m o n ) .

Supplied equipment ln the 470 class rve are not used to s a i l i n gw i t h s u p p l i e de q u i p m e n t .r t i s different but not at all impossibie to use somebody else'sboat. The skilis that are needed differ a little; you have to be good on trimming the boat yourself very quickly; you may have to steer different than you would like, due to the shape of the sails; you have to accept to do the manoeuvres in a new r,vayand not to biame the boat when the resultsare bad. '93 rnay Sailing with supplied boats in be an advantage in Savannah \996 ... Another with supplied advantage with supplied boats and especially supplied sails is that lhe organizers can sell space for advertisement.Sail the Gulf seemed to have many different sponsors judging by the varietl, of logos on the sails.
