Notice to all EC12 owners
In the process of strengthening and bolstering our
class by interested parties, it has been revealed
that the record of details of all EC12 boats and
owners, held by the AYRA is hopelessly inadequate
and not up to par in comparison to all other class’s
records held by that body.
There is a push on at the moment in NSW and QLD to
increase competition and activity in our class and
revamp the flagging interest in this beautiful
design.
To that end it is hoped that all current owners of
boats will respond to the below mentioned contact
with their complete contact and boat registration
details ,irrespective of their understanding of
current adequacy of their boat’s registration
details.
Attached is the current list that the ARYA has on
file that is supposed to be the definitive record of
all the boats in Australia. We understand that this
list contains names of numerous deceased people and
frankly is not a happy state of affairs for the
class to be in.
So could all owners please respond to Peter Morris
at either email address
straw@focusqld.com
or by phone on 0428 832 888 to supply the relevant
information. Your assistance in this would be
greatly appreciated and will do wonders in helping
to revive the class.
Additionally even if you know of someone who owns a
boat or is the spouse or partner of someone who
owned a boat and you consider they would likely not
see this notice or be unlikely to respond to this
plea, please forward that info as well so that we
can chase them up for the record and any future
correspondence.
Again we stress how important this information is to
the future success of this class

I'm not sure what
information is required, but as far as I know, all EC12 hulls came with a
manufacturer's label including serial number attached to the interior of the
hull. e.g. An EC12 I acquired had the following information on its label.
ROY SILKS
EC 12
017
520-8886
I would imagine that information similar to the above,
along with the
boat owner's name,
address and
and as many contact details
as possible, would be what would be
required.
Please pass this message on to everybody you know. It really is a one-off
opportunity to get these beautiful boats out of the closet. And one never knows,
there might be a couple of dollars to be made by non-sailing owners passing on
their boats to other EC12 enthusiasts.

International Invitation to the 2009 Worlds Regatta
- USA
My profuse
apologies for the late post of this invitation from the East Coast 12
Meter Class - American Model Yachting Association
folks which was actually received by me on the 21st. If the New Zealand
Worlds in 2007 is anything to go by, this event will again be a great success.
Comments from Graeme below.
Hi Guys,
I have just received this from our US EC12 friends. If the event matches the NZ
Regatta NZL2006 it will be well worth the experience
I will also have Eddie list it on the Major Events page.

- EC12 Rules published! New EC12
Class Coordinator named!
The ARYA have
finally put their name to a set of EC12 Rating Rules. And not only that, but I
understand that a new coordinator for that class has also been named. And my
congratulations and best wishes go to Leigh Buttress-Grove on his appointment,
and thanks must go to Colin Ferguson, the previous class coordinator who I
understand put in a mighty effort in formulating the new rules.
Onward and upward! Let no
individual, or body of persons, now stop anyone, from the enjoyment and
challenge of sailing an EC12.

International
Invitation to the 2009 Worlds Regatta
Ladies and
Gentlemen,
It is my
pleasure to present this invitation on behalf of the US East Coast 12 Meter
Class to host the second Worlds Regatta event in the United States. The event is
scheduled for the first week of November 2009 in Charleston, South Carolina.
This invitation by email is being sent individually to each of these countries:
Australia, Canada, France, Sweden, New Zealand, the United Kingdom and the
United States. Please present this information to your members and groups.
The Notice of
Race and other information is posted on the US EC12 Class website in the Regatta
menu. The NOR is presented now with consideration for individual planning needed
for international travel that would surely include more than toy boat racing.
Details of the event will follow in time.

As the head of
the Class, I will be your host and available to whatever assistance you need. I
look forward to the event and visiting with all of you.

Results - Australian National EC12 Championships
Canberra 25-26 August 2007
Results above and comments below courtesy of Graeme
Turk.
The event went off very well with as usual for an EC12 Nationals good
camaraderie all round.
Weather conditions were mild with breeze from near nothing during the first race
which was timed out with the leader (Malcolm) around 4 boat lengths from the
finish to around top of A rig for the last two races on the Sunday.
The event was sailed as one fleet (17 starters I think) which made things
interesting on the start line.
It was clear from the start that Malcolm Kampe was on and his focus and
attention to detail throughout the weekend was an example to others on how to
sail a regatta to win.
At the end of sailing Saturday it was Malcolm in front by some 14 points from
Gary Declauzel with Graeme Turk some 3 of 4 points in arrears with Yeoman Sands
a few points further back.
The racing was rather intense amongst the top group on Sunday and a few skippers
were suffering from a few too many reds the night before but soldiered on.
At the cessation of racing on Sunday, after around 25 races, it was Malcolm
Kampe (Qld) 1st from Graeme Turk (Qld) 2nd and Gary
Declauzel (NSW) 3rd.
At the time Graeme wrote this, positions after the first three or four places
were not yet available - Ed.
Others to show form throughout the weekend were Yeoman Sands and Daniel Weizman
I am indebted to Ian Gilmour who loaned me a beautiful boat to contest the event
(Judged as “Best presented boat”)

Graeme
