Ten Yards
The South Westerly Course And The Existing 12 Knot Mistral Produced A Wind Angle Of 90 Degrees For The First Part Of The Race And Five Boats Ran One Another Off To The Left Side Of The Course While The Resulting Winner Alan Woodward Stuck To The Rum Line With The Other 4 Yachts Of The Ten Identical Beneteau First 45's.
Croatia Yacht Rally 2011 meandered toward its conclusion in Dubrovnik last week with a race from Korcula to Mljet, a distance of just 12 miles.
The 'Pearl of the Adriatic ', located on the Dalmatian coast, became a crucial Mediterranean sea power from the thirtheenth century onwards. Though seriously spoiled by a tremor in 1667, Dubrovnik managed to preserve its lovely Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque churches, priories, palaces and fountains. Damaged again in the 1990s by armed conflict, it is now the focus of a major restoration programme co-ordinated by UNESCO.
The 'Pearl of the Adriatic ', on the Dalmatian coast, was a very important Mediterranean sea power from the thirtheenth century onwards. Though seriously damaged by a tremor in 1667, Dubrovnik managed to preserve its beautiful Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque churches, priories, palaces and fountains.
Dubrovnik was founded in the first part of the seventh century by a grouping of refugees from Epidaurum, who established their settlement at the island and named it Laus. The Latin name Ragusa (Rausa), in use until the fifteenth century, originated from the rock (Lat. Lausa = rock). Opposite that location, at the foot of Srcic ; Mountain, the Slavs developed their own settlement using the name of Dubrovnik, obtained from the Croatian word dubrava, meaning oak woods. When the channel that separated these 2 settlements was filled in the 12th century they were united. From the time of its corporation the city was under the protection of the Byzantine Empire ; after the Fourth Crusade the town came under the sovereignty of Venice (1205-1358), and by the Deal of Zadar in 1358 it became part of the Hungarian-Croatian Dominion, when it was effectively a republican free state that reached its top in the fifteenth and 16th centuries. A commercial crisis in Mediterranean shipping and, more particularly, a devastating quake on Apr 1667 that levelled most of the public buildings, wrecked the welfare of the Republic. This dynamic quake came as a turning point in the city's development.
Dubrovnik is a surprisingly well-preserved example of a late-medieval walled town, with a regular street layout. Among the exceptional medieval, Renaissance and Baroque monuments within the impressive fortifications and the enormous gates to the town are the City Hall (now the Rector's Palace), dating from the eleventh century ; the Franciscan Monastery (completed in the 14th century, but now mostly Baroque in appearance) with its imposing church ; the extensive Dominican Monastery ; the cathedral (reconstructed after the 1667 quake) ; the customs house (Sponza), the eclectic appearance of which reveals the indisputable fact that it's the work of one or two hands over many years ; and several other Baroque churches,eg that of St Blaise (guardian saint of the city).
The first Global heritage preservation site consisted solely of the defences and the intra-mural town. It was later extended to include the Pile medieval commercial suburb, a planned development of the fifteenth century, and the Lovrijenac Fortress, located on a cliff, which was doubtless started as early as the eleventh century, but owes its present appearance to the fifteenth and 16th centuries. Also included were the Lazarets, built in the early 17th century to house potential plague-carriers from abroad, the late 15th-century Kase moles, built to protect the port against south-easterly gales, and the Revelin Fortress, dating from 1449, which was built to order the city moat on its northern side.
6 yachts finish in the same minute on the water!
The south westerly course and the prevailing 12 knot mistral produced a wind angle of 90 degrees for the first part of the race and five boats ran each other off to the left side of the course while the resultant winner Alan Woodward stuck to the rum line with the other four yachts of the 10 matching Beneteau First 45's. The fleet ultimately came together as the finish line approached and in the final analysis six of the ten yachts finished in the same minute on the water. The match racing hot shots filled up the last five placings.
The post-race dinner at the Scotch eaterie in Polace set the scene for a Roman style party, suitable because Polace boasts the remains of a Roman villa.
The whole of the northern end of Mljet is a nationwide park and the lay day was spent walking through the luxuriant pine forests that surround Lake Jezero.
The next and last race was set on a course across to Kobas on the mainland but dawn broke on a glassy sea with very little prospect of wind. Around twelve nevertheless , and to everyone's surprise, a twelve knot south easterly filled in around 1pm and the fleet worked across the passage on a flat sea in perfect summer conditions. Once again the fleet split and those that stayed to sea caught the yachts looking for non-existent lifts along the shore. After a run to the finish the yachts again finished in a 'heap'.
The cunning Alan Woodward of the Royal Brighton Yacht Club stayed out of the match racing frays between Roger Hickman, Steve Barlow from the Royal Sydney Yacht Squadron and David Buckman from the Port Lincoln Yacht Club. Alan finally won the day on handicap from Alan Hare, a racing amateur who delighted in leading the famous Roger Hickman for a large part of the last race.
The final 2 nights at the opulent Dubrovnik Palace Hotel saw a gentle wind down from an impressive rally sailed in perfect conditions.
The 2012 Croatia Yacht Rally will be run by Mariner Boating during the same fourteen days of 2012 and will likely be augments by a new event in Croatia to the north of Split in the Kornati Islands. The Croatia Kornati Yacht Rally will be sailed in the 1st 2 weeks of Sep. Again a matched fleet of yachts will be used, all with battened mains, triple spreader rigs, folding propellers and deep keels. Three double cabins will provide spacious accommodation and a fourth twin cabin will be offering storage for bag.
Details of the 2012 Croatia Yacht Rally are available online and details of the Croatia Kornati Yacht Rally will soon be available, writes tagza.com.

Fumbling Towards Ecstasy $4.83 Pre-Lilith Fair, McLachlan had critical acclaim and a cult following but was otherwise just another hard-working female singer/songwriter--one who wasn't blasting down doors with overt sexuality or popping along in front of a male Svengali. Similar in their emotional urgency to her more recent work but delightfully less polished, these folk-rock songs are surprising gems. If not for McLachlan's po... |

Whole Nine Years/The Whole Ten Yards - $12.99 Includes:The Whole Nine Yards (2000), MPAA Rating: R The Whole Ten Yards (2004), MPAA Rating: PG-13 The Whole Nine Yards In this black comedy, a criminal discovers a market for murder in the suburbs. After doing time in prison, mobster Jimmy the Tulip (Bruce Willis) moves to a suburban neighborhood. But Jimmy's new neighbors (Rosanna Arquette and Matthew Perry) soon figure out who he is. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi The Whole Ten Yards Bruce Willis and Matthew Perry reprise their roles as a killer for hire and a dentist with a bad case of nerves in this sequel to the comedy hit The Whole Nine Yards. Former hitman Jimmy "The Tulip" Tudeski (Bruce Willis) has retired from his life of crime and is living a quiet life of cooking and housekeeping in Mexico, despite the fact his wife, Jill (Amanda Peet), a would-be hired killer, still wants to keep her hand in the business. Tudeski has been able to convince the authorities he's dead thanks to dental records falsified by his former neighbor Nicholas "Oz" Oseransky (Matthew Perry), who lives in Los Angeles. But Oseransky discovers that not everyone is fooled by Tudeski's handiwork when his wife, Cynthia (Natasha Henstridge), is kidnapped by Lazlo Gogolak (Kevin Pollak) and his goons. Gogolak is a high-ranking member of the Hungarian mafia, and Tudeski previously murdered his son, so he's abducted Cynthia in order to get Oseransky to reveal the hired killer's current whereabouts. But Tudeski has come to like the quiet life, and isn't so sure he wants to face Gogolak and his crew for the sake of a jittery dentist who once did him a favor. Most of the principle cast of The Whole Nine Yards returned for this sequel, though director Howard Deutch stepped in to replace Jonathan Lynn, who was working on The Fighting Temptations when The Whole Ten Yards went into production. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi |
