SUMMARY:Zoom Meeting No 4 – The 'Paradox' - a 14 foot cruising boat
DESCRIPTION:Paradox miniature cruising yacht (in Salcombe harbour)\nAlastair Law will tell us about building and sailing his 14 foot (4.27m) sailing boat\, an example of the Paradox design by Matt Layden. (www.microcruising). \nAlastair’s boat\, ‘Little Jim’ was the first Paradox to be built in the UK. Alastair has sailed it extensively on the south and south west coasts of the UK and finds it ideal for his purposes. \nThe Paradox design is: \n\nSeaworthy for estuary and coastal cruising.\nBetter able to protect its crew from adverse weather than most boats of this size – can be sailed entirely from ‘down below’.\nRobustly constructed – strengthened underneath to take the ground.\nAble to carry a lot of provisions and equipment – Alastair caries an inflatable tender and a folding bicycle on his one.\nComfortable for a solo sailor to spend time on board\, including overnight.\nReasonably easy for transport by road trailer.\nFaster to windward than many people would imagine that it could be.\n\nBut its not a boat for family sailing! \nSee under ‘website’ below for the link to join this meeting (actually the same link as for our previous Zoom meetings)  No password required to join the meeting\, just click on the link a little before (say a few minutes before)  the meeting start time or if you need the meeting reference number it is the 10 digit number at the end of the link.

SUMMARY:Zoom Meeting No 3 - Building a sliding seat rowing boat
DESCRIPTION:At our previous Zoom meeting John Perry covered the design for a sliding seat rowing boat and showed video demonstrating the design features.  For this follow on meeting John will describe the construction of the boat and include a few pictures of the boat in use.  This will be a slightly shorter presentation than last time\, so there should be good opportunity for questions and discussion. \nNote that the time of this meeting is later in the day than the previous meeting – this may make it easier for members on the far side of the planet.  (the time given for the meeting is British Summer Time) \nFor the link to join the meeting see ‘event website’ below.  (the link is the same as for our previous Zoom meetings)

SUMMARY:Zoom meeting - Design & Construction of a Sliding Seat Rowboat
DESCRIPTION:Design and Construction of a Sliding Seat Rowing Boat \n– presentation by John Perry followed by questions/discussion \nThis rowing boat was first launched May 2017 and since then has had frequent use on the estuaries of Devon and Cornwall and also camping trips on rivers in the UK and France.  These are some of the features: \n\nDesigned for a single rower with or without a passenger\, this required two rowing positions to maintain longitudinal balance.\nFolding outriggers allow coming alongside quays and lock walls.\nStorage space for camping equipment.\nDetachable wheels for launch/recovery and for portaging.\nArrangements for easy loading onto car roof rack.\n3mm plywood construction with external glass epoxy sheathing\n\nFor those who are not familiar with Zoom: \nTo join the meeting wait until a few minutes before the start time then click the link provided in this meeting announcement (under ‘Website’\, below). If you already have Zoom software installed on your computer or other internet device then your email client should then direct you to Zoom when you click this link and you can then join the meeting. If you click the above link but you don’t have the Zoom software installed then I think you will be prompted to download and install the software before you can join the meeting so it is probably best to already have the software installed before you try to join Zoom meetings. You can get the free Zoom software at www.zoom.us/download – the software you need  for a Windows or Apple computer is the top button in the list\, it is labelled ‘Zoom Client for Meetings’.  If you want to use Zoom on a smartphone there are Zoom apps available for Apple and Android.    Zoom can be used with almost any device capable of accessing the internet but it probably does work best on a computer since a larger screen will give you a view of everyone present. \nBeing in a Zoom meeting you can almost forget that you are not in the same room as the othe participants.  You see the other participants and can talk to them.  The ‘mute’ facility is quite important\, when you are not speaking to the meeting is a good idea to mute yourself so that background noise from your environment is not transmitted to the meeting but remember to unmute yourself if it is you who are speaking to the meeting!  When a presentation is being given the host may mute everyone except the person giving a presentation. \nWe are grateful to one of our members for hosting our Zoom meetings on a commercial account\, this means that we do not have the time limit that applies to free accounts.

SUMMARY:AYRS Zoom meeting
DESCRIPTION:Last weekend we held a first trial Zoom meeting for AYRS members in the south west of the UK.  For this locally based meeting we had no prepared agenda\, we just introduced ourselves and chatted about our boating interests  This went well\, so our next meeting is open to all and this time we will try having a more formal agenda – \nSo: \nAt 16:00 (London time) next Saturday AYRS member Kim Fisher will present the ‘Rescue Float’ project that he is carrying out in collaboration with AYRS member Chris Watson.   \nBriefly\, this is a project to develop a craft for use by beach lifeguards. Some beach lifeguards today are using surf boards\, others have RIBs or jet skis. The Rescue Float is intended to fit somewhere between these options – it is more suitable for carrying a casualty and possibly administering first aid than is a surf board but it is cheaper and easier to launch than a powered craft. The AYRS had a fine looking stand at the recent RYA dinghy exhibition and the ‘Rescue Float’ was the centre piece for the stand and attracted plenty of interest. \nQuestions can follow Kim’s presentation and we may also have some discussion about the way forward for any future Zoom meetings. \nThe link to join this meeting is below\, under Website.  If you need the meeting reference number it is the ten digit number in that link. \nFor those not familiar with Zoom: \nZoom is a video conferencing system that has been recommended to us by an AYRS member who works at the University of Plymouth – he has been using it regularly during the pandemic to give lectures to groups of up to about 70 students. \nIf you already have Zoom software installed on your computer or other internet device then your email client should direct you to Zoom when you click the link for the meeting\, allowing you to join the meeting which you should do a little before the published start time. If you try to join too early you may be asked to wait\, and you may be able to chat to others who are waiting for the meeting to start.  If you click the link but you don’t have the Zoom software installed then I think you will be prompted to download and install the software before you can join the meeting. Hence it is probably best to already have the software installed before you try to join Zoom meetings. \nYou can get the (free) software at www.zoom.us/download. The software you need for a Windows or Apple computer is the top button in the list\, it is labelled ‘Zoom Client for Meetings’. If you want to use Zoom on a smartphone there are Zoom apps available for Apple and Android. Zoom can be used with almost any device capable of accessing the internet but it probably does work best on a computer since a larger screen will give you a view of everyone present. \nIf you are listening to a presentation in a Zoom meeting it is probably best to ‘mute’ yourself so that any background noise in your surroundings is not conveyed to the meeting. However\, you need to remember to ‘unmute’ yourself if it becomes your turn to speak!

SUMMARY:Postponed - South West UK Local Group Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Clearly we have to postphone this meeting in line with current (20 March) government guidance on ‘Social Distancing’.   We look forward to a time when we are in a position to announce a revised date. \nIn the meantime\, I am considering the possiblity of a virtual meeting over the internet\, let me know if you would be interested or if you have suggestions for how this could be set up and run.  – John Perry \n———————————————————————————————- \nImportant note: Public parking within the tiny hamlet of Forder is almost non-existent. To avoid taking up the few parking spaces that are needed by residents we recommend parking near St Stephen’s church or the Cecil Arms pub in Saltash (which is where we plan to gather later for supper) and then walk down the hill to Forder. Access to the Community Hall is on foot via a private lane down the west side of Forder Creek. For bringing heavy items to the Community Hall it is permissible to drive down this lane\, there is space for a single vehicle to unload at the hall. \nForder is about a mile and a half south west from the centre of Saltash\, just across the Tamar into Cornwall. Access from other parts of south west UK is likely to be via the A38 trunk road. \nAYRS meetings are open to all\, so do invite friends who may be interested. \nWe have the use of the hall from 12:30 through to 18:00. Outline program as follows\, but don’t feel that you necessarily have to stay with us for the whole period. Attend for any part of the program or all of it. \n13:00 Gather at the hall for sandwich lunch – bring your own sandwiches or whatever\, we will provide tea\, coffee etc. \n14:00 We may take a short stroll in the vicinity of Forder – the hall is right on the waterside and there are nice footpaths through the local nature reserve and along the Lynher estuary. We will only include this activity if it is what those present would like to do at the time – the weather may influence this. \n15:30 Light refreshments followed by chat about boating and/or more formal presentations – let me know if you would like to contribute – sailing holiday snaps\, boat building / maintenance as well as actual yacht research are all good topics. We will have means to display digital photographs/video by USB but I don’t think the hall has WiFi. We would also like to include some discussion of future AYRS meetings in the West Country – if there is interest from local boat owning members we may be able to arrange an on-the-water gathering in the summer. \n17:30 to 18:00 Move up the hill to the Cecil Arms pub for supper – let me know if you would like to join us for supper so that I can book a table for 18:30. \nWe will share the cost of the hall/tea/coffee but will limit this to maximum £5:00 per head. \nFor further information contact John Perry – 07484 668904 (M) 01752 863730 (L)

SUMMARY:Annual General Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Follows on from the London Area Meeting. \nItems for the AGM MUST be submitted to the AYRS Hon Secretary (email: hon.sec@ayrs.org or post to: BCM AYRS\, London WC1N 3XX) as soon as possible\, and certainly before 21st December 2017.\nPapers for the AGM (Agenda\, Accounts\, Annual Report\, etc) will be found on this website. (AGM_2017_Agenda.pdf\,  AGM_2016_Draft_Minutes.pdf).\nNote: The average age of the Committee is now over 70! We need new\, younger\, people on the Committee\, who will be in a position to take up the reins of the Society (after a few years familiarisation) and take it forward into its seventh decade. We desperately need someone willing to act as Hon Secretary\, as Kim is resigning\, and would like someone with suitable DTP skills to take on the job of Editor.\nVolunteers welcomed (otherwise we’ll need to revive the Press Gang!) \n(Question and comments – see the Discussion Forum)
