SUMMARY:Weymouth Speedweek 2021
DESCRIPTION:Weymouth Speed Week is the oldest and longest-running speed sailing event in the world. Held annually since 1972\, it has challenged sailors of a wide variety of wind-powered craft to sail as fast as they can over a distance of 500m with their speed being recorded as the average speed over that distance. \nToday’s competitors comprise kite boarders\, sail boarders and boaters. They compete over a 500m course laid out in Portland Harbour. The number of courses and their positions can vary each day according to the prevailing and anticipated wind conditions. Each course has a start line and each competitor is free to choose their best angle to maximise their speed. Each competitor’s run is now accurately measured by GPS with the recorded GPS data processed each day to generate the results for each of the competition classes. Competitors are also free to put in as many runs as they can; on a windy day\, the course can be a constant buzz as the competitors relentlessly charge up and down to find the best wind. \nSailing fast is not simply about sailing in strong winds; whilst strong winds provide the basis for a fast run\, a sailor’s ability to sail efficiently and consistently is highly important. Sailing fast in less-than-perfect winds presents an opportunity to demonstrate a sailor’s skill and judgement. \nWeymouth Speed Week is a unique event. All sailors with an interest in speed sailing are invited to compete and there are no restrictions upon the craft you may sail – experimental craft are particularly welcome. There are\, in fact\, few rules to who can compete; so long as your craft is wind-powered\, it is eligible. The event has attracted some of the world’s top professional and record-holding sailors over the years. The event allows first-time competitors to compete with professionals on the same course – not something normally offered by other events.

SUMMARY:Zoom meeting - talk by John Welsford - joint with the Dinghy Cruising Association
DESCRIPTION:A change of plan for our monthly Zoom meeting on 13th February – The new plan is that we attend a presentation by small craft designer John Welsford\, this presentation having been arranged by the Dinghy Cruising Association (see dinghycruising.org.uk)  The date and time that the DCA planned for this presentation happened to exactly coincide with the timing of our regular AYRS monthly Zoom meeting so arranging for AYRS members to join the DCA audience avoids a clash and gives us a chance to see a presentation by a well known designer of small sailing craft. For further information about the work of John Welsford see his website at: http://www.jwboatdesigns.co.nz \nAYRS members who would like to attend the presentation by John Welsford need to register for it ASAP by going to this link: \nhttps://www.dinghycruising.org.uk/agm.html \nFrom the above link you will see two registration forms\, one for the DCA AGM and a second one lower on the page for John Welsford’s talk. Unless you are a member of the DCA\, only fill in the second form then click the register button.  The simple form requires a name\, email address and DCA membership number. AYRS members should enter ‘AYRS’ for membership number.   In due course the DCA will email you a link to join the Zoom meeting.   The reason for having to register is that this talk may be popular so we need to know if there is a need to arrange a Zoom account upgrade to cater for more than 100 participants.

SUMMARY:RINA Webinar - INEOS TEAM UK: Developing the ultimate racing monohull for the 36th America's Cup
DESCRIPTION:Led by Sir Ben Ainslie\, a previous America’s Cup winner and the most successful Olympic sailor of all time\, INEOS TEAM UK was formed in 2018 to bring the America’s Cup home to Britain. We are delighted to welcome Nick Holroyd\, Chief Designer at INEOS TEAM UK as our guest speaker for this webinar. \nThe America’s Cup is the oldest international sports trophy in the world and the most expensive to win. It is a competing platform where the most advanced marine technologies\, strategic decision-making\, and sailing skills all meet in the dramatic performance of racing flying yachts. The AC75 Class Rule\, which defines the parameters within which teams can design an eligible yacht to compete in the next Cup\, has introduced some ground-breaking regulations. Not only has the type of craft changed dramatically\, from multihull catamaran to fixed-configuration monohull\, but new limitations on prototyping and physical testing were introduced that compel teams to fully rely on a digital twin to develop their boat. \nRegister now to learn how and why digitalization has become paramount in the race to develop the next winning America’s Cup yacht.
