Air pollution during an icy May has resulted in a ban on new open fireplaces in Tokoroa.
The town's air breached national environmental standards several times last month and as a result national regulations prohibiting the use of new open fireplaces will apply from May next year.
There were three instances from May 20 to May 23 in which Tokoroa exceeded its allowable levels of airborne particles, known as PM10.
A PM10 particle is less than 10 microns in diameter, or one-fifth of the diameter of human hair. The invisible airborne particles can lodge in people's lungs and cause serious health problems.
It is released into the air from burning solid fuels such as wood for home heating or via vehicle exhaust emissions in some cities.
Revisions to the National Environmental Standards for Air Quality state that from September 1 last year when the PM10 standard is breached in pollution testing, a ban on the use of new solid-fuel burning open fires will apply from a year later.
For Tokoroa, the first breach of the PM10 standard since then was in May.
People who already have open fireplaces installed before that date will be unaffected and can still use them. But the ban applies only to houses and other domestic buildings, not to commercial buildings.
Waikato Regional Council policy adviser Amanda Banks said the rule is intended to prevent new pollution sources, such as open fireplaces, in areas that already exceed the standards.
"Open fires also aren't very effective at keeping people warm and if you heat your home with one, you could be eligible for a free heating upgrade."
The regional council's Waikato Clean Heat Retrofit Programme is available for Tokoroa homeowners who have a community services card, and an adequately insulated home heated by a fireplace or an older style woodburner. Funding is still available and homeowners who think they qualify should contact Moetu Togia on 078850776 by Friday.
The programme offers free clean heat appliances to replace less efficient, more polluting forms of heating.
South Waikato District Council also offers schemes to help people change to clean heat appliances.
South Waikato District Council community development manager Amanda Hema said their Warm Homes Clean Air programme replaces old heating appliances with new energy-efficient ones and is fully funded.
It also manages the Heat Swap Scheme that is open to everyone in the district.
People can apply to have a new heating appliance installed, the council will pay for the project and the ratepayer pays the council back at an extremely low rate of interest over 10 years.
She said there are conditions with both schemes so homeowners should contact the council to see if they are eligible.

Wesebaum, Elyria, Qhio, assignors, by mesne assignments, to Koehring Company, Milwaukee, Wis, a corporation of Wisconsin Filed Aug. 10, 1962, Ser. No. 216,169 9 Claims. (Cl. 180-658) This invention relates generally, as indicated, to a brake and clutch assembly for crawler cranes and the like and more particularly to a steering and locking mechanism for the crawler treads of crawler cranes, shovels, and the like.
Crawlers for cranes or shovels are generally propelled by an engine mounted in the crane superstructure which revolves on top of the crawler carrier. Such superstructure is generally mounted on a turntable and the propelling mechanism comprises a vertically extending shaft positioned axially of the turntable geared to a horizontally extending propelling shaft mounted in the carrier frame. The ends of the propelling shaft are connected by means of jaw clutches to stub shafts drivingly engaged with the respective crawler treads at each side of the carrier frame, Steering is generally accomplished by supplying power to one tread only while braking or looking the other tread. Heretofore, the selective locking of the respective tread drives to accomplish the steering and to brake the machine during operation has been accomplished by ratchet and pawl mechanisms which are generally actuated entirely independently of the actuation of the steering jaw clutches.
It is accordingly a principal object of the present invention to provide a positive friction brake for the drives for the crawler treads of a crawler type crane, shovel or the like enabling a more positive steering and providing a positive lock for the crawler when the shovel, crane, or the like is in operation.
A further important object is the provision of a hydraulic clutch and brake assembly which will provide a positive clutch action for the steering of a crawler crane and the like locking the normally driven stub shaft when the steering clutch is released.
A further object is the provision of a friction brake for the drive for crawler treads for power shovels, cranes, and the like controlled by the same mechan sms operating the steering clutches of the crawler carrier.
Yet another object is the provision of a multiplate riction brake which will be positively released as the steering clutch is engaged and vice versa, will be positively engaged as the steering clutch is released.
Still another object is the provision in a crawler carrier for power shovels, cranes and the like of a hydraulically operated clutch and brake assembly employing hydraulic piston-cylinder assemblies to release such brake assemblies while engaging the steering clutches and spring echanisms to engage the brake when the steering clutches are disengaged.
Other objects and advantages of the present invention will become apparent as the following description proceeds.
To the accomplishment of the foregoing and related ends, the invention, then, comprises the features hereinafter fully described and particularly pointed out in the claims, the following description and the annexed drawings setting forth in detail a certain illustrative embodiment of the invention, this being indicative, however, of but one of the various ways in which the principle of the invention may be employed.
In said annexed drawings:
FIG. 1 is a side elevation of a crawler crane in accordance with the present invention;
3,171,504 Patented Mar. 2, 1965 FIG. 2 is an enlarged bottom view of the crawler carrier for such crane with one crawler tread removed;
FIG. 3 is an enlarged transverse vertical section partially broken away with parts removed for clarity of illustration taken substantially on the line 3-3 of FIG. 2;
FIG. 4 is a fragmentary enlarged horizontal section taken substantially on the line 44 of FIG. 3;
FIG. 5 is an enlarged vertical section taken substantially on the line 5-5 of FIG. 3;
FIG. 6 is an enlarged vertical section taken substantially on the line 6-6 of FIG. 5; and
FIG. 7 is a schematic piping diagram of the hydraulic actuating system of the present invention.
Referring now to the annexed drawings and more particularly to FIG. 1, there is shown a crawler type crane in accordance with the present invention which includes a crane superstructure 1 mounted on a crawler carrier 2 for rotation about the vertical axis of turntable 3. The crane superstructure 1 has pivoted to the front thereof at the boom foot 4 an operating boom 5 which may be employed with a clamshell hoisting mechanism, a drag line, or other type lifting mechanism. In place of the boom 5, a shovel or back hoe attachment may readily be substituted. A prime mover in compartment 6 may be employed to operate the hoisting drum for elevation of the boom 5 and the load carried thereby and also the drive of the crawler carrier 2 so that the machine may be propelled over the ground 7.
Referring now additionally to FIGS. 2 and 3, the shifting of a jaw clutch on a turntable travel shaft will engage the crawler carrier drive which includes a pinion (not shown) in meshing engagement with the gear 10 mounted on the vertically extending travel shaft 11 extending coaxially through the turntable 3. Such vertical shaft 11 may be mounted in special tapered roller bearings 12 secured in housing 13 mounted on the top frame plate 14 of the carrier carbody shown generally at 15 in FIG. 2. The carbody 15 comprises two major transverse beams 16 and 17 which interconnect the two carrier side frames 18 on which the respective crawler treads 19 are mounted. Gusset plates or the like 20 may be provided rigidifying the structure and longitudinally extending beams 21 and 22 may be provided interconnecting the transverse beams 16 and 17 providing a rigid Center box-like frame for the crawler propelling mechanism.
The carrier side frames 18 each include a box-like frame structure 24 which has mounted on the top thereof the idler rollers 25. The open bottom of the frame 24 is provided with a series of transverse stub shafts 26 with the weight supporting idler rollers 27 being rotatably mounted thereon with bushings 28 or other suitable anti-friction means being provided. The front of the side frames is provided with the end roller 29 and the rear of the frames is provided with the drive sprocket 30. The treads 19 are provided with a central interior track formed by the upstanding projections 31 and 32 on each of the hingedly interconnected tread plates which fit on either side of the idler rollers 25, 27 and the end idler roller 29. However, these projections engage between specially formed laterally projecting teeth 33 in the sprocket that the crawler treads may be driven thereby.
Drive from the vertically extending travel shaft 11 to the treads is effected through a horizontal propelling shaft 35 mounted in tapered roller bearings 36 and 37 in the plates 38 and 39 respectively of the central box frame. On each end of the propelling shaft, there is provided a sliding jaw-type steering clutch 40 (only one being shown in FIG. 3) which connects tthe ends of such propelling shaft to coaxially mounted drive stub shafts 41 and 42. These shafts which project through the longitudinally extending beams 21 and 22 are pro vided with drive sprockets 43 on their projecting ends about which are trained heavy-duty drive chains 44 which drive the chains 44 to drive the treads 19. The inward- 1y projectingends of each shaft 46 may be mounted in collar 50,supported by adjustable rod 51' properly supporting the shaft 46 and maintaining the proper tension of chain 44. A bottom cover plate will'normally.
be provided bridging the plates 38 and 39 so that the gears 48 and 49 maybe immersed in an oil bath. To
facilitate this bath, special seals may be provided for the propelling shaft projecting through the housing plates 38 and 39.
Referring now particularly to FIGS.'3, 4 and 5, it will be seen that the projecting shaft 41 is provided with splines so that the sprocket 43 is splined to the clutch element 71 to the left asseen in FIG. 4 disengaging the steering clutch 40. V
Opposing the pressure of the springs 89- and 90 are two pistons 92 and 93 engaging the opposite side of the spring base plate 75 anddisposedwithin cylinders 94 and 95 respectively fitted within openings 96 and 97 in the web 67 of the beam 21. The ends of the cylinders projecting through the beam web 67 are closed by cylinder base plates 98 and 99 and suitable gaskets 100 and 101' are employed ,to provide the proper.v seal for the I bli'ncl'end of the cylinders. Such cylinder base plates end of such shaft and snap or lock rings '61 may be employed to maintain the sprocket properly axially positioned on such shaft. The shaft 41 is provided with an annular shoulder 63 and bushings 64 and ;65 support such shaft for rotation on opposite sides of such shoulder within sleeve 66 which surrounds the shaft 41 and projects through the web 67 of thebeam 21. is supported for rotation at its; inner end by means of the bushing 68 surrounding the projecting portion 69 of the propelling shaft 35 which projects through the jaw clutch element 70. Accordingly the shaft 41 is internally supported at. its inner end and externally supported at 7 its outer end. A sliding jaw clutch element 71 is splined to the inner end of the shaft 41 having teeth thereon adapted to mate with the teeth of the jaw clutch element 70 splined to the outer end of the propelling shaft '35.? The jaw clutch element 71 is freely longitudinally' movable along the shaft 41 due to the spline fit thereon and is provided with an annular flange .or projection 72 having split thrust washers 73 on both sides thereof. Enclosing the thrust washers there is provided a split collar 74 which is accordingly locked for longitudinal movement with the jaw element 71. The split collar 74 which is secured to the jaw clutch element 71 is in turn securedto a spring base plate 75 by four support members 76 fastened by elongated screws 77. Shims or the like 78 may be provided between the support members and thesplit collar 74. In this manner, the spring base plate 75 is mounted for movement with the split The shaft 41 are fastened to the beam webj67 by two'screws each shown at 102 and 103.- Each cylinder base plate may be provided with a tapped opening 104 for connection of an elbow of the hydraulic pipingsystem.
As seen more clearly at the top of FIG. 4, each piston92 and 93 is provided with a shoulder 106 and packings 107 may be interposed between the shoulder and the wall of the cylinder. "It can'now be seen that hydraulic pressurewithin the cylinders 94 and 95 will move thepistons to the right as seen in FIGJ4 moving the cylinder base plate also to the right compressingsprings 89 and 90 and moving the split collar 74 andthus the jaw element 71 into engagesplit collar 74, and the jaw clutch element 71 is limited spring backing plates 85 and 86 are provided on each 7 and 86 and adjustment of the pressure obtained by'the' four pairs of springs 89 and 90 surrounding each stud through 83 with the spring 90 being coaxially.disposed within the spring 89 of each pair.
such springs tends to move the springbase plates .75 to the left as seen in FIG. 4. This spring pressure also, of course, tends tomove the splitcollar Maud the jaw The'springs then ex.- tend from the spring base plate 75 to. the twov spring backing plates and 86 ,and the pressure exerted by by stop screws 1l0'and 111 mounted on the split collar 74 which may be adjusted to engage the cover plate 112 of the -bearing.3,6.' To make the proper' adjustment for the illustrated embodiment, the. shims 78 may be I removed or added between the members 76 and the'split collar 74 to obtain /s'inch plus or minus J/ inch clearance betweenthe jaw clutches. When the proper clearance is thus obtained, the stop screws are set at inch clearance between the heads and the cover plate 112.
It can now'be seen that there is provided the steering clutch operated by the hydraulic piston-cylinder assemblieswhich will drive the jaw clutchjelements into proper engagement and when the hydraulic pressure is relieved, the four sets of compression springs 89 and will positively disengagethe steering clutch. When the steering clutch is disengaged, it is desirable to have the tread driven by the particular clutch locked against movement. When steering the crane carrier, the disengaged tread has to be locked in order to turnlthe' crawler and when no power istransmitted to the crawler tread during a digging or working operation, it is also desirable to have the tread locked against movement in that considerable. force in backhoe, shoveling or clamshell line operations can be obtained upon the machine which would tend to move the machineover the ground. To provide the automatic locking of, the treadjwhen the steering clutch is disengaged, there is provided the plate brake assembly shown i generally at 115. As seen in FIG. 4, the splines'116 on rotation with the shaft 41 three brake plates 117, all
identical in form. The outline'of these plates may be seen in dotted line in FIG. 5 and they are substantially square withflattened corners as indicated at 118. These three plates are slidably secured to the splines 116' of the shaft 41 and, of course, rotate therewith. Alternating with the rotating brake plates 117 are brake'plates 119 held against rotation by four key members 120, '121, 122 and 123 which are secured .to thetop and bottom flanges of the beam 21." The key members are provided 'with a bottom sloping face which may be .sh-immed up by a spacer 124 with both the-key element and the spacer being welded or otherwise suitably secured to the beam flange. The non-rotating brake plates 119 are provided with cut-out corners as indicated at 125 with the sharp outer edge of the cut-out portion being beveled as shown at 12 6. The spring base plate 75 may similarly be recessed along its top and bottom edges to receive the keys 120 through 123. The outer stationary plate 119 butts up against the sleeve 66 and may be secured thereto. In any event, the shaft 41 will extend freely through the stationary plates 119. If the spring base plate 75 is counted as a stationary plate, it will be seen that the three rotating plates 117 have non-rotating brake plates on each side thereof. Circular friction plates 130 may be secured to the opposite sides of the interior stationary plates 119 and to the insides of the outer stationary plate and the spring base plate 75 by suitable fasteners such as the flat head rivets shown at 131. In this manner, for one complete brake assembly, twenty-four such circular friction plates are required. It can now be seen that the shaft 41 has stacked thereon four stationary plates, three plates 119 and one plate 75 and three rotating brake plates 117 interposed therebetween. When the hydraulic cylinders extend the spring base plate 75 to engage the clutch 40, the brake will be released, but when the hydraulic fluid pressure is relieved and the springs 89 and 90 disengage the clutch 40, they will also drive the brake plates into frictional engagement with each other locking the shaft 41 against rotation and accordingly the treads driven thereby.
It will be understood that the shaft 42 driving the opposite tread 19 will be similarly connected to the horizontal propelling shaft so that either tread of the crawler may selectively be driven one at a time for steering or both for propelling the crawler carrier. When the steering clutches for each shaft 41 and 42 are disengaged, the brake mechanism illustrated will lock the respective shafts and, of course, the respective crawler treads against movement.
As seen in FIG. 7, the hydraulic fluid for the pistoncylinder assemblies may be provided through two vertically extending conduits 135 and 136 extending through a rotary seal 137 positioned at the centerline of rotation of the turntable 3. The vertically extending shaft 11 normally will be hollow and such conduits 135 and 136 will extend therethrough from the hydraulic system in the crane superstructure 1 to the respective hydraulic cylinders. From the rotary seal, the conduit 136 connects with piping 138 and 139 with a T 140 being provided from which hydraulic hoses 141 and 142 are connected to the hydraulic cylinders 94 and 95, respectively. The conduit 135 may similarly be connected to the hydraulic cylinders 143 and 144 operating the clutch and brake assembly for the shaft 42. In this manner, the operators cab need be provided only with two valves for the conduits 135 and 136 enabling the selective driving engagement to the crawler treads 19 and when the steering clutches are disengaged, the treads will automatically be frictionally locked against movement by the brake assemblies shown.
Other modes of applying the principle of the invention may be employed, change being made as regards the details described, provided the features stated in any of the following claims or the equivalent of such be employed.

NEPHI — A man lost his right hand after his dune buggy rolled up to a dozen times down Sand Mountain at the Little Sahara Recreation Area in Juab County.
Juab County Sheriff Alden Orme says the Hyrum man, 37, lost control of the vehicle on Sunday. He was flown to a Salt Lake City hospital with serious injuries but is expected to survive.
Orme says the man was experienced, but it only takes being careless one time to cause an injury.
Orme says training in sand safety is available at the recreation area's visitor's center.

Pluralism in Economics and Research Assessment Systems
from Donald Gillies
For the last five years I have been conducting research into the effects of research assessment systems such as the research assessment exercise and the research excellence framework in the UK. There are now plans to introduce similar systems in other countries such as France and Italy. My first paper on this subject was published in the post-autistic economics review in 2006 (http://www.paecon.net/PAEReview/issue37/Gillies37.htm), and in December 2008, to coincide with the results of the last UK research assessment exercise, I published a book on this subject entitled: How Should Research be Organised? This is available here at amazon.co.uk and here at amazon.com.
The main result of my research is that research assessment systems have a systematic tendency to decrease the quality of the research output. Read more…

St. Simons Island, Georgia Christmas Ornament
Personalized Christmas Ornament
This ornament is a beautiful souvenir to commemorate a trip to St. Simons Island, Georgia. The St. Simons Island Light is an octagonal shaped, active lighthouse that regularly guides ships into St. Simons Sound and warns passing barges of sandbars that could run their boats aground. The artist here used a technique called the reverse painting process to paint the image you see on the inside of the clear glass ball. The outside surface of the ornament is smooth and you do not have to to worry about the paint wearing off. ST SIMONS ISLAND GA is permanently printed on this ornament. We can write a name and date this glass ball ornament for you too!
Material: Glass Ball

I think this series continues to be strong because the author has stayed true to the character she originally created. Mercy has matured, certainly, but she has not drastically changed. She's still a top notch mechanic, she's still not the biggest bad a@@ on the street, and she still worries about those she loves. Each book ties into the one before, but not with drastic cliffhangers that leave readers annoyed. More like loose ends that once pulled, unravel into a new story. Here, the plot stems from a book that Phin lent Mercy previously, and the unresolved status of Samuel. Some nasty Fae want the book, and now that Mercy has chosen Adam, Samuel's character comes to the fore front. This book has a lot of development of interpersonal relationships (Mercy is still dealing with Tim's assault), and a lot more detail on werewolf society (especially now that Mercy is part of a pack, and most of them are unhappy about it).
Briggs' writing is tight. She really gets a reader invested in the characters, and the story builds upon that. Familiar characters appear, but she resists throwing in a cameo for everyone we know. If they didn't have some say in the plot, they didn't appear. So, we get Zee and Bran, but Stefan is a no show. Though the fae plot was interesting, the strongest part of the book is the werewolf material.Read more ›
The most anticipated change is Mercy's relationship with Adam, the werewolf Alpha. Adam's pack is still not completely welcoming to a troublesome coyote and in this book a few pack members decide to meddle in Adam's and Mercy's relationship. One of the best aspects of Briggs' books is the real and growing relationship of Adam and Mercy. Briggs has declined to throw these two into each others arms instead giving her readers the pleasure of watching two people become a couple. Love does not conquer all but a strong Alpha werewolf and a coyote with a gun can sure reduce the number of their detractors. Loyalty to pack is a good thing, but for some it takes a well-placed bullet.
Mercy receives a call from Zee's son, Tad, about the fae bookseller she borrowed a book from in the last book. Phin gives Tad a cryptic message about Mercy and the book and now he isn't answering his phone. Mercy promises to look into it and quickly realizes that Phin might be in serious trouble or dead. And it isn't too long before Mercy realizes that if she can't figure out what happened to Phin the same thing might happen to her. A powerful and nasty fae wants the book and isn't about to let a little thing like a coyote stand in her way.
To add to Mercy's full calendar Samuel, Mercy's friend and the Marrock's son, has spiralled into a deep depression. If he can't be pulled out of it the Marrock or Adam will be forced to kill him before he falls into homicidal insanity.
Maybe Briggs tried to put a little too much into this book because Samuel's storyline was not very fleshed out. It came across as flat and forced. And it just occurred to me why.Read more ›
The greatest disappointment of this book was Samuel's storyline. Mrs. Briggs has taken great care over the past five books making sure her readers grow attached to each and every one of her characters. This is one of her greatest talents. However in Sam's darkest moment we are given a resolution that we care nothing for. There is no emotional investment in "the answer." I wanted to care about the solution as much as I care about the character, Sam. I found myself detached from what could have been a very touching story.
If you love Mercy, you will undoubted enjoy this book, but like me you may find that the story was secondary. If you can, I would recommend waiting for the paperback. If you are a first time reader of the Mercy Thompson series start with the first book, fall in love with her and all her friends first. If you start here I doubt you will be back for more.

BONE FRACTURE IS a rare complication in modified electroconvulsive therapy (mECT). However, cases have been reported where wrist fractures have occurred during mECT.1,2 Here we report a similar case with major depression.
A Japanese 58-year-old female patient who had suffered from repeated major depressive episodes (MDE) for 7 years was transferred to our hospital for mECT. Despite successful treatment for the first two MDE with amoxapine, the third MDE did not fully respond to clomipramine, fluvoxamine or milnacipran and a combination of antipsychotics. There was no history of manic or hypomanic episodes. Her menopause was at the age of 50. Laboratory tests showed a marked increase in serum prolactin (275.6 ng/dL) probably by concurrent medication with risperidone 8 mg/day. Magnetic resonance imaging showed no organic brain diseases. The patient was diagnosed with recurrent, severe major depressive disorder with psychotic features. The 17-item Hamilton score was 35.
After all psychotropic drugs were discontinued, she received the bilateral ECT with Thymatron DG (Somatics, Inc.; Lake Bluff, IL, USA) and standard procedures using succinycholine 40 mg. A cuff on the right forearm was inflated prior to administration of succinycholine. The average internal pressure of the cuff was above 250 mmHg: enough to block the influx of it. There were no additional constraints on any part of the patient's body. The physician in charge and nursing staff confirmed no potentially harmful objects around the patient. The energy percent was incrementally elevated from 30% to 50%, resulting in the mean electroencephalographic and electromyographic endpoints of 44.7 s and 28.5 s, respectively.
Immediately after the fifth treatment following four successful treatments, however, she complained of a sharp pain in the right wrist. Orthopedic surgeons diagnosed a fracture of the distal end of radius (Smith fracture) and performed internal fixation. As her depression was still profound, we continued mECT with a cuff alternatively being applied to the opposite forearm. After completing 10 treatments, her depressive symptoms were significantly alleviated. She was diagnosed with severe osteoporosis by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) of the lumbar spine.3 Bone mineral density was 0.584 g/cm2. T-score and % peak reference were −3.9 and 58%, respectively, while Z-score and % age-matched were −1.8 and 70%, respectively. Serum levels of calcium, phosphorus, intact parathyroid hormone and 1, 25-dyhydroxyvitamin D3 were normal.
Thus, unrecognized osteoporosis may have attributed to the patient's fracture on the right radius.1,3 We should have continued mECT without the cuff method or with a cuff on the ankle to avoid further fracture of the left radius.1 Regarding this case, in addition to depression,4 concurrent hyperprolactinemia may have been another potential risk factor for fractures.5 Further research is needed for DXA as a pre-ECT examination.

From the initiative of some of the world's best sailors, the Star Sailors League (SSL), launched an international circuit of regattas in January 2013. This new league has been built on the existing circuit of over 220 International Star regattas around the world, using a unified world ranking, created based on the ATP World Tour
, established by tennis players in 1972. Drawing on this inspiration from tennis, the SSL also awards substantial prize money to the best-ranked sailors.

Star Sailors League Final - All set for Nassau action
by Alex D'Agosta on 5 Dec 2013
Star Sailors League Final - Nassau, Bahamas © Marc Rouiller
The ground-breaking Star Sailors League commences in Nassau, Bahamas, with the inaugural edition of the yearly Finals, held from Dec 3rd to the eighth.
This brand new invitational event that is gathering an incredible list of champions is honored to feature 18 teams from 13 countries with a stunning track record: 12 Olympic medals from a total amount of 81 amongst all entries that also includes World Championships in Olympic Classes, America's Cup campaigns and Volvo Ocean Race teams.
It is the first time that most of these star legends, selected from the SSL Ranking List, will face each other again since the London 2012 Olympics and it's also a debut in this boat for three promising sailors that are coming from the Finn and Laser Standard classes. In addition, it is Robert Scheidt's first regatta after clinching his tenth Laser Standard World Championship in Oman.
The final entry list is: Xavier Rohart (FRA) with Pierre-Alexis Ponsot (FRA), Robert Scheidt (BRA) with Bruno Prada (BRA), Eivind Melleby (NOR) with Mark Strube (USA), Michael Hestbaek (DEN) with Claus Olesen (DEN), Flavio and Renato Marazzi (SUI), Johannes Polgar (GER) with Markus Koy (GER), Robert Stanjek (GER) with Frithjof Kleen (GER), Mark Mendelblatt (USA) with Brian Fatih (USA), Augie Diaz (USA) with John von Schwarz (USA), Mateusz Kusznierewicz (POL) with Dominik Zycki (POL), George Szabo (USA) with Craig Moss (USA) and Diego Negri (ITA) with Sergio Lambertenghi (ITA). These sailors are the top-seeded in the SSL Ranking List while Tomas Hornos (USA) with Joshua Revkin (USA) concludes the list as the most promising young skipper. Guest stars are Paul Cayard (USA) with Austin Sperry (USA), French Finn Bronze Medal in London 2012 Jonathan Lobert (FRA) with Pascal Rambeau (FRA), Finn World Champion Ed Wright (GBR) with Petter Morland Pettersen (NOR), Finn silver medalist at the World Championship, Pieter-Jan Postma (NED) with Edoardo Natucci (ITA) and the up-and-coming Laser Standard sailor Andy Maloney (NZL) with Tyler Bjorn (CAN).
Racing starts on Wednesday, December 4th with three days of qualification races. A maximum of four races per day are scheduled with a limit of nine for the first three days. The top ten boats of the qualification round will then battle it out on Saturday under an innovative format. After a first race with all ten finalists, the top seven will advance to second race whose top four will then hold a winner-take-all battle. The boat to cross the finish line first will be crowned champion of the inaugural Star Sailors League final.
Paul Hutton-Ashkenny, Regatta Chairman and Past Commodore, Nassau Yacht Club expressed his excitement in seeing his yacht club playing host to the inaugural Star Sailors League Finals:
'Our mission at the Nassau Yacht Club is to showcase what we believe to be the best sailing waters in the world with highly professional race management and legendary Bahamian hospitality. The Club and its members are delighted to be doing just that in hosting the highly prestigious Star Sailors League Finals, with so many of the best sailors in the world competing'.
'Sailing in The Bahamas is addictive, and we are thrilled to be welcoming back to the Bahamas many sailors who have competed here in past regattas. We are equally pleased to extend a special welcome to those who are sailing here for the first time, safe in the knowledge that we are sure to be also welcoming them back to The Bahamas in years to come'.
'The racecourse to the eastern end of New Providence Island offers truly exciting conditions. Consistent sailing breezes, in waters that need no local knowledge, offer an exhilarating ride that provide a challenging and fair test to all skippers and crews. It's an experience that always leaves competitors wanting more'.
It is also emblematic to hold this event on the home waters of the country's most famous athlete Sir Durward Knowles, a veteran star sailor, who won the first ever Olympic gold medal for The Bahamas. In 1947, he won the World Championships in sailing for the Star Class. In 1956, he went on to win the Olympic Bronze Medal along with Sloane Farrington, in Melbourne, Australia. He made Bahamian history in 1964 when, along with Cecil Cooke, he won the Olympic Gold Medal in Tokyo. Sir Durward continued competing in Olympic Sailing for a record of eight Olympics; the last being Korea in 1988 at the age of seventy, making him one of the oldest and most successful Olympians.
The culmination of the Star Sailors League lively competition is the huge 200.000 USD prize money purse that will be distributed on the last day to all the teams according to their final
