EC12 Important
Notification
The following notice comes by way of the ARYA website,
and has been recreated here, in case affected persons are not aware of
the existence of official radio yachting body avenues of communication.
As stated in the body of the following notice, if anybody has any
information regarding the whereabouts of any EC12's, please get in touch
with the contact below via the email or phone.
This is an extremely positive move by the ARYA and they are to be
commended for taking this step.
|
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.

28 March 2008: - 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.
Kind Regards,
Rick West

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”)
Regards,
Graeme
