What has this complaint about injudicious comments achieved other than to bring the matter to the attention of a much, much wider audience? Nobody seems to be disputing the accuracy of the observations, only the lack of judgement in just when/where they were made. FKT Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Abbo 90 Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 22 hours ago, MRS OCTOPUS said: Volunteer abuse The delusions run deep in this cult don't they? Almost as big a lie as Trumps stolen election. 1. There was no abuse. 2. Your definition of volunteer is pretty loose if you include those parties that allege being abused. 3 There has never been an official hearing over this alleged abuse where all parties have been granted a fair hearing so it is an entirely untested allegation. 4. The alleged abuser is one of the greatest volunteers the club has ever had, there are very few that can compare. 5. One of the allegedly abused volunteers has been found guilty of assaulting a woman with a chair and has been expelled from the club. Puts a tiny dent in the credibility of the accusations wouldn't you say? Intelligent folks have drawn their own conclusions. The cult members are rabidly clinging to their version of events. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Recidivist 948 Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 I see from an update from Mark Hipgrave on his GoFundMe page (about the ongoing Matt Allen campaign to have him (MH) banned from the sport for life) that AS have been up to more shitfuckery in that matter also.

trt131 268 Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 I think there is more to the RTYC allegations than meet the eye. It looks like there is some deep resentment held against outsiders in Tas. How can to independent committees organised by World Sailing come up with such differing outcomes. Nothing in the two findings were even close to agreeing. Both from WS, so which one actually got it right.

So how come you get to have two goes at Mr Jones. You make a complaint to RYCT under its Constitution. Then you also make the complaint under Reg 32. Completely different regimes. Yet the evidence before one becomes evidence before the other. Something very wrong there. Contrast the "Rumble in Rocky" bar fight. The OA start a RRS 69 investigation on the complaint of the OA officer. An investigator and a Panel are appointed to hear it. Investigation begins and statements taken. Then it looks like the outcome might be embarrassing to some people. The OA and AS stop the RRS 69 proceeding and it is never concluded. The OA deals with only some of it members involved in house under its Constitution. Surely it has to one or the other, you can't shop until you get the right answer. But apparently you can if you work for Australian Sailing. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah I watched that. He's got some points, I'd agree. But the flip side is, what he's saying is nobody who moves to an area has the right to change things that the existing residents like. That's a pretty difficult position to justify really depending on what it is. Noise & lights - pffft. Suck it up, they were there first. Possible water pollution affecting downstream users is another thing altogether IMO. But first you need to prove it's happening. And I do wonder what a pig farmer does about keeping his pig shit out of the environment. The fish farming biz overall is a whole different and big can of worms. A lot of the same stuff was said about the 'sustainable' forestry biz. And look where that went. The fish farms are using the Channel and bays as their personal waste disposal system. They fucked up Macquarie Harbour to the point where even the other fish farmers started screaming. I've been here for 24 years. My GF is probably 5th or 6th generation Tasmanian at least. I know my place though - I'm a mainlander blow-in. Don't care. FKT Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I have high hopes for the new board direction. They have proposed a raft of governance changes aimed at vastly reducing the power of the Commodore and increasing the suitability of directors. Major reforms include the Commodore and Flags officers to be ineligible to be chairman of the board. (Commodore becomes a ceremonial position) , Direct election of Directors (instead of being appointed by the Commodore as they are now) and the GM will answer to the board, not just the Commodore. The most telling indication that a change of wind is occurring is this line from the information document sent out to members. "This will improve stability on the board through longer Chair tenure. The term of Commodore is generally only 2 years and as we have seen in the past a new Commodore can sometimes usher in their own agenda which may be counter to the long-term strategic interests and plans of the Squadron." Quite a smackdown for someone! Hopefully this will result in the flag officers never again being able to use their position to peruse a personal vendetta against a member. I think this board deserve congratulations for these reforms but they still need to get them past at a SGM. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That's if the Commodore has an agenda sometimes they've got no personality, drive or vision and the place stagnates! The move to a more 'corporate' structure is long overdue and the way I read the proposal is that there will be strong member input through the Committee structure and and as long as the Board vetting process is robust then I can't see why the membership wouldn't support it.

I am not sure that only allowing 'board approved' candidates to stand as a director has much chance of getting up. All the rest looks pretty good however and should be well received. It all needs to be enshrined in the constitution to be robust. Bylaws can and have been changed on a whim. Anyway it is up to the members to decide, not me! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

shaggybaxter 2,744 Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 In my searching for a sport where officials don't fuck over members to advance their personal agendas... Pulled my head out of fixing a CO2 bottle leak to find it was the current national champion handing me the spanners. He'd seen the previous run and noticed the car was a bit loose at the top end, so wandered over to say g'day. Stayed for 45 mins offering some tips. Didn't need to, just that sort of person. As we were chatting a start line official came up to discuss some safety matters about our dial in. If you run quicker than an 8 second you must wear a hanse device, which is a dirty great collar that acts as a neck brace (We were on a 8.01 dial in). They knew we were newbies so he stopped by to discuss size selection, rules and processes on how/when they enforce it and what we can or can't do. Super helpful. Didn't need to, just that sort of person. The next run was against the current state champion. We were begging for her to go easy on us, she was giving us shit for asking a girl to go easy on us. We ended up beating her by 0.001 sec, and she was the first to shake hands with a huge grin and and offer encouragement. Didn't need to, just that sort of person. I admit I've been on tenderhooks somewhat just waiting and waiting for one of these senior representatives or paid officials to ask me to do something dodgy or illegal. And how to limit the damage when I say no. Its been almost a year and nothing of the sort. No illegal requests, no vandalism, no warning phone calls to your clients, no abuse of the rules for personal agendas. Turns out this sport doesn't appear to need to.

Glen, Sometimes peoples just hang on way too long and just don't know when to leave. sometimes it's because they are to scare to move on, some think that they are too important and are full of themselfs and the other is that they are just no good at their job and are just riding the gravy train till retirement sucking up to anyone in power and just using people to improve their own self importance. Maybe it's time to move on and that your time is done in AS. Pulpit 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

JasonL 7 Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 Anyone in Sydney, able to shed some light on two very impossible to find anything out about, AS Affiliated yacht clubs? Both are in the very low end of the fees scale. Petes Yacht Club Fan You Yacht Club or are they "sub- clubs" under much larger long existing clubs? Both are included in the current NSW affiliated clubs listings, but, try to find out Who, What, Where! Or,,,,, is there something a bit secret squirrel going on, again.

Nothing particularly interesting. 20 valve 4age, some forged bits in the bottom end and 306 degree cams. Comes standard with quad throttle bodies so with a bit of port matching etc they breath pretty well. Not that hard to get impressive peak power numbers (at 8200 rpm for my engine) bit harder to have decent torque from 4krpm up. Chasing the midrange power was where the time and money went. (plus the forged crank after the last one was 3mm out of true). Peanuts compared to what Bigrpowr might have spent. Having it in a road car that weighs just under 520 kilos makes it kinda fun though.
