Many thanks for your input and please do continue to send your comments, articles, reports and remarks to [email protected]. Co-editor Casper made the trip to Altea with helmsman (and father) Fred and had a chat with Gines Romero, one of the Spanish top FD-sailors. It happened to turn out in a serious interview. Naturally you will find results from around the world, pictures and the equipment list of the WC. So what do we have for you this time? Of course, as ever, an enthousiastic letter from our President, Dott. Alberto Barenghi. We are greatful for his uplifting contribution. Dr. Gizmo shines his light on the cleat. The result is an interesting story about a guy called Curry and one of his many inventions. This should refresh your memories a bit. Our Chief Measurer John Best explains the ins and outs of some new rule changes. It seems that there is a bit of confusion, but let’s be confident that his explanation will be sufficient. We hope that this FD Bulletin will inspire you for the coming season. Be careful flying out on the water!

Congratulations and many thanks to the Centro de Alto Rendimento in Murcia, the Organizing Committee and to the FD Spanish Class for the excellent organization of the 2007 World Championships, in which 72 teams from 14 countries competed. Moreover, the increasing success of the Euro Cup and World Cup events show that the strategy to schedule the International races calendar with specific and advertised events, scheduled in different countries, seems to kindle the interest of the sailors to increase their participation in the races and to be involved in Class life. As always, many thanks to all the Clubs organizing the FD races every year, since they help our Class to support and go on to organize the classical events that have become a tradition in the annual FD fixtures. With regard to the women FD teams, my best congratulations to the German Peggy Bahr, the Spanish Dolores Sanchez-Herrero and the Dutch Tanja Heijink for their results and participation in the most important International races. With regard to the technical matters, the increasing number of carbon riggings adopted by teams from all countries (in the International races, more than 40% of the fleet adopted the carbon profiles) shows the success of this new tool in the technical development of the FD. The manufacturers, from different countries in the world (UK, Australia, Italia etc.), are going ahead to push the evolution of carbon riggings (mast, boom and spinnaker pole with different profiles, stiffness and fitting) to reach the best performance and reliability at the minimum weight that, according to the Class rules, will be 8.5 kg. The competition among the manufacturers and the increasing interest of the teams to 4 compare different technical solutions will allow the carbon riggings to have a further and fast evolution. With regard to Class life and promotion there is some important news. In spring 2008, the first three years of the sponsorship agreement between the IFDCO and Harken Sailing Wear will end. During these first three years of the sponsorship contract Harken Sailing Wear supplied our Class with several clothes of their sportswear collections. Two weeks ago I went to the Winch - Harken Sailing Wear headquarters, where I met the team managers. During that excellent meeting the IFDCO and Winch confirmed their reciprocal interest in their brands and so, we agreed to go on with a new sponsorship agreement until the end of 2012. In a few weeks Winch will show me the next spring-summer and fall-winter collections for 2008. Moreover, besides the actual Harken Sailing Wear, WINCH will add a further collection with several models inspired by the FD’s history and emotion. Those clothes, sporting both the Harken Winch and IFDCO logos, will be available for each FD Class member with a special discount. In detail, the Harken Crew Collection will always be available with several clothes (jackets, polos, gilets, t-shirts etc.) in several colours and sizes. Moreover, every year Winch will develop and produce fallwinter and spring-summer collections, in which some articles will be selected that show the IFDCO logo. As always, it will be possible to look at the Harken Sportswear Collections with the FD logo on the IFDCO website and in the FD Bulletin. Moreover, there will be a link between the IFDCO and the Harken website. Together with a lot of enthusiastic sailors who have granted the worldwide success of the FD Class Harken will be inspired by the most peculiar feature of the FD Class: to be sporting high-tech and innovative solutions. For the same reason, the IFDCO has chosen Harken Sailing Wear as brand to perform the sportswear for the FD teams. The IFDCO, selling the sportswear to the Class members, will collect money to spend for the Class promotion, advertisement and activity. For instance, it will be very important to help the young and new FD sailors, increase the participation to specific events and support the transport of boats attending the World Championships overseas. In 2007 the result of that strategy SLO-1 Luka Tomori & Urban Jan allowed the IFDCO to give a grant of € 900 to every container shipped to Spain from overseas, attending the Worlds in Mar Menor. That represents just the first step of the IFDCO’s activities to support our teams. Anyway, that process requires time and the cooperation of Class members, National Secretaries, etc. to show and improve the advantages to the sailors. Again in 2008, the IFDCO will be engaged in selling the sailing wear in order to give grants to support the IFDCO’s activities, in particular the shipping of containers to the next Worlds in New Zealand. With regard to the sailing activity in 2008, besides the classical races—and particularly the Euro Cup events—we’ll meet in Rabac (Croatia) next May to attend the European Championships there. The meeting in Rabac will be the best chance to award the Euro Cup and Dawes Cup for 2007. Moreover, we will have the Competitors Hearings, the National Secretaries’ meeting and the AGCM. With regard to the sailing activity in 2008, however, the most important news will be the Vintage Yachting Games: the event that has been proposed one year ago by Dutch sailor Rudy den Outer, ex FD sailor and currently Soling helmsman. Rudy proposed to create and organize a event comparable to the Olympic Games, aimed at the former Olympic Classes. For this reason he contacted me for the Flying Dutchman. The event will be organized every four years, like the Olympiade. The first edition will be held in Medemblik, Holland, on 2027 September 2008. I showed this proposal to the IFDCO Officers at the last AGCM and the National Secretaries’ Meeting in Spain and it was agreed to join the Vintage Yachting Games. The other Classes involved will be: Europe, O-Jolle, Soling and Dragon. The aims of the VYG have been explained, as well as the selection criteria to adopt by every Flying Dutchman Bulletin 154 CRO-51 Tin Matulja & Robin Matulja Interview with Gines Romero - Altea, 9 February 2008 Ten years ago the Spanish FD class was almost history. Today Spain has one of the most active Flying Dutchman fleets around the world. The man responsible for this success is Gines Romero, the well-known helmsman of the ESP-6. We tried to see what he had to say about all this himself. (by Casper Schaaf) Class, through the International Classes and their National Secretaries. The VYG goal will be to have 2 boats per Country in every Class. Personally, I think that the VYG represent a particular event that is excellently suitable to remember the history of our Class and advertise and promote our Class to the media, network, sponsors and to the sailors. With regard to the Measurement Committee, according to my proposal, the VYG decided to appoint John Best as Chief Measurer in the event. Anyway, the Notice of Race for the VYG 2008 is quite ready and will be sent to every FD National Secretary in a few days. The season 2008 will go on with the classical races and the “Conrad Gulcher Trophy”, a classical event for the FD Class, as always organized by the Loosdrecht Sailing Club. Finally, we ‘ll have the World Championships in Napier, New Zealand during the Christmas holidays. Many sailors seem interested to attend the Worlds and, as always, Frank Nooijen will be engaged to provide us with the best solution for transportation. Strengthened by the IFDCO’s team approach and the friendship among all the Officers, Commodores, Sub Committees and National Secretaries, we will continue to promote, advertise and develop the FD Class in every way. Together with new sponsorships to support Class activities and events it is very important to promote the FD Class to the media, network and sponsors and to improve the IFDCO website. For this purpose it was agreed to develop the website’s graphics and aesthetic aspects: it is quite ready and will be online in a few weeks. Let’s commit ourselves all together, in order to support and quicken every process to advertise the FD! Finally, let me thank all the FD sailors and the IFDCO Officers engaged in the life and activities of our Class. I ‘m looking forward to meeting all of you and I wish everyone good sailing in 2008! Alberto Could you introduce yourself? My name is Gines Romero. I started to sail when I was four years old, with my father on the Mar Menor. In what kind of boat? We had a very old wooden boat, very strong and heavy; 5 metres or something. I broke my first mast there on the Mar Menor – a wooden mast – with my father. I started racing more or less seriously in the 420 and I tried my first Flying Dutchman in ‘76 in a Spanish championship when I was 17 years old. Francisco Martinez, now ESP-81, was my crew; he was 19 years old. We were third! We came from the 420 and only one week before the championship we tried the FD. We’d lent a boat, we did this race and it was okay. And afterwards? After the 420 I sailed the 470 from 1982 until 1989. Then from ‘89 till ‘94 I sailed the Soling and finally the FD again, during the European Championship in Murcia in 1997, eleven years ago. Besides that I did some Vaurien and Snype as well, but seriously only 420, 470, Soling and FD. I heard you were quite successfull in the Soling. Yes, I prepared the Barcelona Olympics in Soling. I was in the pre-Olympic team, but wasn’t selected to go. I was successfull in Spain – among the best 6 teams or so - , especially with strong wind. Actually, I’ve always been at my best with a lot of wind, in the 470 as well. Internationally, though, I didn’t do so well. Actually, I see myself as a better trainer than a sailor. I know very well how to do it, but I don’t know how to do it, if you know what I mean. I prefer to teach others than to do it myself. I’m not very intuitive, I’m a worker. When I go well it’s because I train many hours and prepare the boat many hours, but I’m not so efficient. It’s exactly like the Bojsen-Møllers said: hours and hours upon the water and then you can do well. Some people do very well with not so many hours. Luis Doreste (winner of the Flying Dutchman gold medal in the Barcelona Olympics – CS), for example, sailed more with intuition than training. I think, in general, Spanish sailors are more intuitive than workers. Yes, if you look at Marco Sevila. He’s just 17 and already shows a lot of talent. Yes, he’s the future of the Spanish class. So you started sailing FD again in 1997. What made you decide to do that? Yes, after I’d stopped sailing for three or four years - because of my daughters and work and such things – I started again to sail the Flying Dutchman in 1997. You see, for me it’s impossible to stay without sailing. I was working too much during those years and I needed to sail again. I selected the Flying Duthman because it’s not an Olympic class. It’s the boat of my dreams, but not Olympic, which was perfect for me at that time. I was very tired of Olympic classes, with the Soling and 470. In both classes I tried to be in the Olympic Games – Los Angeles in 1984 and Barcelona in 1992 – but finally the environment was too competitive for me. And the Spanish FD class at that time? I became the Secretary of the class. The Spanish class was absolutely dead in 1997; there were only one or two other boats besides myself at that time. But we pushed and pushed, convinced one guy, another guy and now the class has about twenty boats. Not all of them sailing, but well. No, but you have some very good teams. There’s about 6 or 7 really good teams in Spain. Yes, two years ago in the Spanish champi- 5 Flying Dutchman Bulletin 154 onship we beat the record. We were sailing on the Mar Menor then and apart from a few foreign teams there were 17 Spanish boats in the water. I think that was the absolute record in the history of the Spanish Flying Dutchman class. So, since 1997 it’s been going upwards constantly? Every year a bit more? Well, in the last two years it’s been going a little bit down. I’m a bit tired: always pushing, pushing, pushing forwards, calling people to go to the races. If people needed a boat, I’d look for a boat here and there. It’s very hard work and I have my own work! What kind of work do you do? I work for big multinational consultancy firm, Cap Gemini, where I’m managing the Barcelona, Valencia and Murcia offices. I’ve been working with Cap Gemini for the last twenty years. And at the moment you are still the Spanish National secretary? Yes, but I’m trying to convince Javier Higuera – the crew of Dolores, ESP-9 – to take over the job. I can help him, but I prefer that he pushes. Otherwise I’m afraid the Spanish class may be going down again. In the last two years I’ve not been pushing the same as before. Last year’s World Championship, you still organised that? No, I didn’t, it was organised by the Murcia Federation. We helped a little bit, but the organisation was theirs. I thought they did quite a nice job. I don’t agree. I didn’t like the organisation. Why not? I thought it was a bit ordinary. The sailing was okay, but the organisation wasn’t so good. Yes, I suppose they didn’t really try hard for us. We were probably their tenth championship that year or something. Yes, this was the problem. They tried to do too many events in one year. But the venue there is fantastic, for sailing. The weather was not the usual weather in this stage of the year though. Only during the last day we sailed with the typical wind there. Normally the wind is more like the week before, during the Spanish Championchips. And what do you think about the Worlds in New Zealand? We want to go there. There are four or five teams interested in the possibility of going. We are talking to a shipping company about containers, but I’m not sure. Three or four Spanish boats should really be possible though. We’ll probably have to share a container with the Italians or something like that. Because of the container business the next Euro Cup in Altea will be a problem, I’m afraid. Yes, we should probably move the event. Maybe in March or April; maybe Easter, I don’t know. The best way to do it would be to send the containers directly from Napier to Valencia actually. But we’ll talk with the Altea sailing club and we’ll try to get it moved. Have you thought about the Europeans in Croatia already? Yes, we’ll organize some training weekends here in Altea to prepare for Croatia. The event is a bit early for me because I’m still working then, but I’ll certainly try to be there. And probably about 4 other Spanish teams as well. If I may ask, how old are you now? I’m 49, since last Sunday. And what are you plans for the future? Just FD? I plan to compete in the Flying Dutchman maybe 5 years more. I don’t think I’ll stay in the class until 60. Last year I bought a new boat which I plan to sail for another four or five years, but not a new boat. What did you sail with before this boat? The one I started with in 1997 was an old one I bought from Anton Schwarz, with a wooden deck, from 1985 I think. I sailed with that until the championship in Elba, in 2000. Before Gilleleje in 2001 I drove past Mader to pick up a new boat. That’s the boat Dolores is sailing with now, with the yellow deck. And so, last year I bought a new Mader. I think this will be my last Flying Dutchman boat. The boat is like my body though, it gets older but it’s still going on.

He died in 1953, just in time to witness the birth of our beloved FD. He actually sailed in one of the prototypes of the boat. Curry was, and probably still is, the most successful German born yacht racer. He bagged more than 1000 victories. But even more than through his yacht racing, Curry’s legacy lives on because of his work as a sailing-aerodynamics pioneer and through his inventions. It was Curry who first introduced a jib that overlapped with the mainsail. He, very successfully, first used this jib in a regatta near the Italian town of Genoa in the 1930’s. As a result of this success the ‘Genoa’, as it was henceforth called, remained there to stay. Curry’s true ticket to fame, however, was his invention of a device that nowadays is featured in multitude on almost any sailing boat: the cam cleat. In German, and also in the Dutch language, this cleat bears the name of its inventor: Curryklemme. Of course, Anglophonic sailors cannot stomach the thought of referring to a German and consequently never use the term. Rather would they honor Briggs Swift Cunningham II, who invented nothing less that the hole in the sail that proudly bears his name. The French, for whom the world ends at the frontiers of their beloved ‘Hexagon’, refrain from ever mentioning Curry’s name; they irreverently call the cleat a ‘taquet coinceur’. And the Italians? Well, are they aware that the Roman empire ceased to exist some time ago? Simple as its principle may seem, Curry’s cam cleat is a much cleverer device than meets the eye at first sight. Its secret lies in the geometry of its two jaws each of which is shaped like a part of a mathematical object called the logarithmic spiral. This spiral, shown in Fig. 1, has a number of distinguished features: it is a self similar graph, which means that from whatever distance it is viewed, it always looks identical. Secondly, if we look at the angle at which any part of the spiral intersects a straight line extending out from the origin to infinity, we see that this angle is always the same, as is immediately clear from Fig. 1. Likewise, the spiral intersects any circle at the same angle. This angle is called the pitch of the spiral. The spiral forms a constant-angle curve and it is this property that gives cam cleats their essential properties: they hold a variety of rope diameters and their holding power is independent of this diameter and they always hold tight, independent of the force on the rope. Also, the cleat is insensitive to the precise direction of the pull of the rope. A special logarithmic spiral is one with a pitch of about 170. This so-called golden spiral is closely related to the Fibonacci series and the Golden Ratio, both favorites in mathematics as well as in renaissance art. The pitch of the jaws of Curry’s cleat is slightly bigger, typically about 200. Fig. 1. A logarithmic spiral with a pitch of 100. Nature seems to have a preference for mathematical beauty and, indeed, logarithmic spirals appear all around us: for example in the shape of the shells of certain mollusks, in tropical storms (see Fig. 2), and in spiral galaxies. An interesting technical application is the so called ‘friend’, a device inserted into vertical cracks by rock climbers as protection against falls. The friend is basically an inverted cam cleat (see the drawing at the right of Fig. 2). How cam cleats work Let us have a look at exactly how the cam cleat manages to prevent a rope from slipping. Firstly, let us ignore the fact that the jaws of the cleat have a jagged inner edge and that the rope is fluffy and compressible. Now look at Fig. 3. The beak of the cleat is represented by two logarithmic spirals. Of course, in a real cleat the jaws form only a segment of the spiral, but as long as the rope diameter is in the right range this does not matter. If we analyze the forces on the rope and the cleat, we see the following: the rope is held taught by a tension force T. If the rope is not to slip, each cam of the cleat must supply half this force as a reaction force. This reaction force originates from the axel of the cam. Looking at Fig. 3 we see that the torque exerted by this pair of forces tends to make the blades of the cleat rotate. This rotation is prevented because the rope pushes back on the cams. The balance of torques requires that the size if this so called ‘normal’ force N be just ½T times the ratio of the two lever arms. This ratio is 1/ tan α, where a is the pitch of the spiral. For a = 200 the ratio is slightly bigger than 3 and it does not depend on the width of the gap between the jaws. The rope will stay put if the friction force that the cleat can supply is large enough. It is a wellestablished fact in physics that the maximum friction between two objects is just the normal force multiplied by a constant called the coefficient of friction. This friction coefficient depends on the two materials and to some extent on surface roughness. Thus, we find that our cleat works if the friction coefficient between our rope and the material of the cams is bigger than tan a or about 1/3. It clearly is. Even if we were to replace the rope by a Fig. 2. Examples of logarithmic spirals in nature and technology: Nautilus shell tropical storm and the cams of a ‘friend’, a device used as fall protection in rock climbing. 18 Flying Dutchman Bulletin 154 wooden rod, the cleat would still hold it. If you have a cam cleat in your tool box you can try it at home if you don’t believe me. The cleat will not hold a polished steel rod: The friction coefficient between this material and the aluminum of the jaws is below 1/3. You don’t have to be a rocket engineer to reinvent the wheel. It appears though that it helps if you want to reinvent the cam cleat. In 1978, a guy called Ray Jardine who was an aeronautics engineer, as well as a keen rock climber, invented the already mentioned ‘friend’, a spring loaded camming device for rock climbing based on the logarithmic spiral. These devices are designed to withstand shock loads of a falling climber which can easily exceed 10 times his body weight. As with our cleats, friends, in principle, always hold, because the friction coefficient between the aluminum blades and the rock exceeds the tangent of the pitch angle of the blades (which in this case is about 140). The normal force exerted by the rock on the cams can be several tons. Climbers can be fairly confident that the device does not slip and they can only hope that their friend can withstand the huge forces without breaking apart. Fortunately for them, most of the time their hope is vindicated. Fig. 3 Forces on the blades of a cam cleat: The ratio of the normal force N and the tension and friction forces T/2 is set by the nonrotation equilibrium of the blades. This ratio depends only on the pitch of the spiral and is equal to tan α. Anyway, the next time you sail and you pull in the sheet of your genoa and lodge it firmly into its Curryklemme, spare a thought for Herr Dr. Manfred. HARKEN Sponsorship letter HARKEN Sailing Wear recently signed an important sponsorship agreement to become Official Supplier of the International Flying Dutchman Class Organization. As of the autumn-winter collection in 2005-2006 HARKEN Sailingwear will offer several models inspired by the FD’s history and emotion. Together with a lot of enthusiastic sailors, who granted the worldwide success of the FD Class, we ‘ll reach the American, Australian and New Zealand coasts, as well as the European Lakes, the Mediterranean and the Northern European nations. Harken will be inspired by the most remarkable feature of the FD Class: competing in the race for high tech and innovative solutions. For the same reason IFDCO chose Harken Sailing Wear as sponsor to supply sportswear for the FD teams. Both parties are aware that research and innovation are invaluable in the sport of dinghy racing. Having our glances always aimed towards the future, together we’ll begin this experience. Dr. Gizmo 19 Flying Dutchman Bulletin 154 Measurement thoughts This year’s rule changes You will all be well aware that this year there are a few rule changes taking place. One, the mast weight, has been eagerly awaited, but there are various others which I will try to put into context. New Rule 58. The Weight of the Mast (excluding trapeze hooks, shroud length adjustment systems and baby stays) must not be less than a minimum of 8.5 kg. Mast corrector weights of lead must be permanently attached to the mast above the limit mark (band) No.1. The height of the centre of gravity of the mast must not be less than a minimum of 2500 mm above the top of Limit Mark (band) Number 1. The previous rule was crafted in 2004 to allow a period of transition for the class to adopt carbon masts. This transition period was scheduled to end in 2008, and so the carbon mast proviso is now superfluous. New Rule 90. RRS 50.4 shall not apply to the FD class. RRS 50.4 attempts to define the difference between headsails and spinnakers, but unfortunately no existing genoas or jibs qualify as headsails under this rule. Presumably, therefore, they have to be regarded as spinnakers and class rule 113 limits the sail inventory for a regatta series to only one spinnaker! Thus, in order for us to continue to use two genoas the class requires to be exempt from RRS 50.4 as is permitted by the RRS. New Rule 39. Weight The hull weight, including all fixed and moveable fittings (trapeze hooks, shroud length adjustment systems, and baby stays), buoyancy apparatus as prescribed in Rules 44-47 (whether removable or fixed) and running gear, but not including main, genoa and spinnaker sheets, must not be less than a minimum of 130.0 kg. The way this rule is now written is just to make it clear that these items, which would normally be part of the ERS defined rigging, are not included in the mast weight but must therefore be included in the hull weight. It will save all those long and involved discussions at measurement, sorry, regatta inspection and will allow us all to get on with our lives. 20 New Rule 33. Deck The deck shall not be higher than 10mm above the deck line and must also be below the deck line at the mast partners. The deck line is the imaginary line between the top of the transom at the centreline and the highest point of the stem (excluding stem fittings). Instruction: Erect a taut line 150 mm above both the stem and the top of the transom, i.e. parallel to the deck line. The mast partners must be at least 150 mm below this line and the rest of the deck at least 140 mm below this line. The original FD rule was that all the deck had to be below the deck line and gave the FD its aesthetically pleasing lines. Some years ago the rule was changed in order to emphasise that the mast partners were not allowed to support the mast at a point above the deck line. The rule 68, for band #1, was also changed to require this band to be below the deck level (so that this could be easily seen) rather than the deck line (which could be an arbitrary distance above the deck level). It was only recently realised that rule 33 allows an arched deck, similar to the 505, provided only that the mast partners are below the deck line. This is definitely not what the IFDCO wants. It would be ideal to go back to the original deck line, but unfortunately there are some FD’s bobbing about out there which now have decks which are some 10mm above the deck line, and so, to accommodate these boats the above rule has been written. Call it housekeeping. New Rules 49. The Trapeze Harness may be attached directly or indirectly to a trapeze wire or line but only by means of a single quick release system (2 seconds). The weight of the trapeze harness must not exceed a maximum of 4.0 kg and shall float after complete immersion. The trapeze harness is separate from and shall not constitute a personal buoyancy aid, as required by rule 78. 78. The following must always be carried on board: 2 paddles, minimum length 1000mm, each of minimum weight 0.25 kg. 2 adequate personal buoyancy aids, defined as devices worn around the upper part of the torso, capable of 50 N buoyancy and meeting the European CEN or an equivalent standard. The trapeze harness shall not be considered a personal buoyancy aid. It is important to emphasize that, although the trapeze harness must float, it is not a personal buoyancy aid. Furthermore, buoyancy added to the back and lower parts of a trapeze harness could lead to a crew floating upside down, or at least face down. The personal buoyancy aid must have floatation on the chest and be a separate item of equipment. New standards for PFD’s (personal floating devices) and the quick release hooks on trapeze belts are being developed and will no doubt be implemented by ISAF when completed. We were presented with a PFD with a trapeze hook attached to it, i.e. a combined device. This is not acceptable, as FD class rules require both a 50N PFD and the trapeze belt to float! Although buoyancy built into a trapeze harness is acceptable and essential, it does not qualify as a PFD. A separate PFD for the crew must be on board when racing, and worn when the Y Flag is flying. New Rule 71. Except when in the centre plane of the mast spar, the central axis of the boom spar shall intersect the mast spar centre plane at a distance of not more than 60mm from the aft edge of the mast spar. It was observed that a number of goosenecks had the vertical axis of rotation some distance from the aft face of the mast. No problem, this had the dual advantages of slackening the foot tension of the mainsail as one bore away and allowing the boom to be carried more square on the run. There is no intention to forbid this practice, but in the interests of safety it is suggested that this be limited, if allowed to go to excess this can and will put an unacceptable torque on the mast and could easily lead to mast failure. Specifying such a rule in other classes has lead to the above wording. The 60 mm limit was chosen by taking a walk around the boat park at an International regatta and based on common practice in the class. There you have it Ladies and Gentlemen. The rules may seem a dry old thing to write about, but they are there for our Health and safety. A bit like speed cameras really; they are there for your safety too! When Peter Hinrichsen drafted these rules he was doing a bit of housework, cleaning up the rule book and also ensuring that what we think of as an FD remains an FD. If anybody has any queries, both Peter and I can be quite easily contacted via e-mail or even snail mail.
