The 2.4 Metre originated from Stockholm 1983 by local yacht designers who used the "R Metre" rule to create a single-handed keelboat, 2.4mR. The helm sits down in the boat facing forward with all the controls within arms reach, the sailing is not physically demanding and racing is done in one open class with men, women, young and old, abled and disabled sailors racing together.

Boats available (aug 25, 2024), sarah douglas in ilca 6 brings home an 8th from the 2024 olympics.

After 9 races Sarah slipped into the medal race in 10th place. Gold and Silver were already established, Bronze was up for grabs but out of Sarah’s reach. This didn’t prevent her from fighting for that which was in reach and she jumped ahead of France and the US to land herself in 8th.  

Congratulations Sarah!!!

Eleven Boats Compete in the 2023 David Bleakney Ice Bowl at RVYC

Louise Anstey, December 2023

The Victoria Fleet held the 6 th annual David Bleakney Ice Bowl on December 28 th .   The forecasts leading up to the day were not encouraging.   ‘Showers and winds of 12 – 18 kts’.   That sounded unpleasant and was over our wind limit for this time of year, especially to enable a good portion of the fleet to participate.   To our surprise, when we arrived at our boats on race day, it was 11 °C (52 °F for our Southern friends) with a gentle breeze, but we could hear winds of 20 kts in nearby Haro Strait.   Nonetheless, the decision was made to race and end racing early if necessary.   So at 11.03 eleven keen 2.4 sailors started the 1 st race in a 5 kt SE’er.

For the first 3 races, finding a shift or a little more pressure were huge benefits on both the upwinds and the downwinds.   The tendency was for more stable wind on the right side of the course, whereas a shifty breeze coming off the shore was on the left.   An eagle eye could spot signs on the water, then the challenge was to place yourself to gain the best advantage.   I admit I found successes and failures on both side of the course.   Others must have had a similar experience: Jackie Gay’s results ranged from a high of 3 rd to a low of 7 th , Brian Robinson, more consistent with a high of 2 nd and low of 5 th , while Chris Anstey posted a high of 2 nd and low of 8 th .   Bruce Millar managed the conditions well, posting only 1 st s and 2nds.

By Race 4 the breeze increased to 6-8 kts with the occasional puff of 12 kts.   The upwinds were an interesting mix of the right offering more consistent wind and possibly more pressure, while beautiful starboard tack lifts and puffs occasionally graced those on the left.  

In Race 5 a significant chop was coming into the Bay on the right side of the course.   I had tacked onto port early to take advantage of the breeze on the right; however, part way up the beat I felt my speed did not match Bruce’s who was farther left and out of the chop.   I found a favourable shift and tacked onto starboard.   At the weather mark we rounding bow to stern; Bruce had the edge.   Chris and Jackie were next to round.   At the last windward mark the order was the same.   Chris went off to my right looking for the puffs and Jackie went to my left.   Interestingly, during the downwind Jackie made slow gains on Chris and myself.   Then, approaching the finish Chris began accelerating in a significant puff.   I moved closer to the puff and got a piece of it.   We crossed the line three abreast!  

By Race 6 the breeze increased and a noticeable swell was present under the usual chop.   The later was likely due to the wind strength increasing in the Strait.   If you took the right side of the course on the upwind and found a favourable shift to tack to the weather mark, either side of the bay was fine.   On the downwind the swell enabled a bit of surfing.   Jackie capitalized on this on the last downwind, catching up to me, and with one last surf crossed the finish line half a boat length ahead.

The racing was excellent all day.   The RC team under AJ Hesford adjusted the course and start line with the wind shifts.   Most of the fleet was on the line at every start, and all the way around the course there were competitors nearby.   Often two, three and four boats rounded marks one after the other.   At many marks and at the finish line, boats were overlapped.   That makes for fabulous one design racing!  

Final Results: 1 st Bruce Millar, 2 nd Louise Anstey, 3 rd Brian Robinson

Photos below are by Leslie Basham.

In the evening our Victoria 2.4 family gathered in the RVicYC Main Lounge in front of a warm fire for a delicious meal prepared by the Club chef.   We thanked our dear David for initiating this event 6 years ago.   The purpose being to celebrate sailing in December, ‘ because we can ’ on the West coast, and, more importantly, to enjoy each other’s company.

The day was a beautiful celebration of our 2023 season!

2023 Canadian 2.4mR Championship

Peter Wood, Class President

The 2023 Canadian 2.4mR Championship was held September 22 -24 at The National Yacht Club in Toronto, Ontario. The fleet of 26 boats was the largest ever at a Canadian 2.4mR National Championship and attracted entries from Puerto Rico, United States as well as British Columbia, Quebec and Ontario.

Eight races were held over three days however one race was not scored due to Race Committee error. Conditions were perfect under sunny skies with easterly winds ranging from 6 to 20 knots. The final had especially fine wind and waves allowing for exciting surfing on the downwind legs.

In the end Jeff Linton from Davis Island Florida gave everyone a lesson winning six of the seven races and placing second in the other. In second place was Rudy Trejo of Chicago IL. Third Place went to Bruce Millar of Victoria British Columbia.

General Information About Boat Launching:

There are three (1 ton, 2 ton, and 5 ton) hoists. The 1 ton and 2 ton hoists will be utilized for the regatta. The 5 ton hoist will be reserved for club members. There is a large paved area surrounding the hoists. 

General Information About the Racing Area:

Average Wind Direction during November: North to East Average Wind Speed: 7-12 Knots Average Water Depth: 10 Feet Tides: Rise or Fall Up to 2.5 Feet or 0.75 Meters The shoreline can have some influence, however, the area is large enough to sail clear of the shore. If a cold front passes through, which is somewhat rare in November, wind can become strong and gusty. In a North, East, and West wind, the water is protected from large wave build up, and therefore is considered flat water. There is a very small chance of a Southerly wind direction, which can produce greater wave heights.

Travel and Local Information:

The yacht club is located approximately 15 minutes from Tampa International Airport. 

There is adequate parking for trailers and cars at the yacht club. The club is located about 3 km from several large brand hotels. There also may be private home/room rentals available nearby through Airbnb or VRBO. November is still considered low season, therefore, rates can be very reasonable. 

Deadline for housing request is 9/5/2022 and you must be registered and paid in full.  The request does not guarantee housing.

PROTON - about 2.4 mR class

History of the 2.4mr class.

The first boats of this class were designed in 1980 after America’s Cup regatta sailed off Newport (USA). The first boats were designed as miniaturized 12 Meter Class yachts Illusion and Shadow built in the United Kingdom. Two independent East- and West Coast-based American builders designed then the boats called Milmeter and Defender. In Europe the beginning of 2.4mR Class dates back to 1986 in Scandinavia. Well-known yacht designers Odd Lindqvist, Peter Norlin and Hakan Södergren designed small, one-man yacht based on large 12 and Six Meter Classes boats. New construction was measured and defined by formula that have resulted with 2.4 – according to international measurement rules. In 1986 disabled Swedish doctor Claes Hulting took two Mini 12 Meter Class boats to Fremantle (Australia), just before start of the 12 Meter Class regatta. During this prestigious regatta his yachts succeed and shortly afterwards their mass production has been initialized by local boat building industry. Popularity of small one-man yachts forced their formalizing. In 1988 IYRU has sanctioned definitively all measurement rules of the 2.4mR Class. Shortly afterwards majority of disabled sailors learned that sailing by this class of the boats is the only way to one-handed sailing and gives equal chances to compete against able-bodied sailors.

ABOUT THE 2.4mR

The 2.4mR is a one-person keelboat that offers even the most accomplished competitive sailors a unique opportunity to test their sailing skills. As complex and challenging as an Etchells or a Dragon without the high maintenance costs or the need for crew, it can be used as a platform to further develop team and fleet racing.

Controls in front of the sailor – both hand and foot steering capable Ideal for adapted sailing, for people of any gender, with or without disabilities.

Sailed without a spinnaker, uses a whisker pole for the jib.

A development class Governed by the 2.4mR rule, closely related to the 12mR rule used in America’s cup and shape often resembles the larger sister.

One of the few classes with international status, controlled by World Sailing

Australia's largest 2.4mR fleet is found in Melbourne. Based at the Royal Brighton Yacht Club RBYC in Victoria on Port Phillip Bay.

Currently there are 13 2.4's in the fleet and constantly growing with both abled and disabled sailors having a large background of sailing experience.

Carter Cameron

Growing up in Charleston, South Carolina, Carter fell in love with sailboat racing at a young age. He sailed Optis and Club 420s but his favorite racing boat was the Lightning. He sailed for the College of Charleston where he was coached by legendary sailmaker Greg Fisher. Carter was a skipper and starting heavy crew at Charleston and was nominated for the Robert H. Hobbs Sportsman of the Year in 2019 for college sailing. It was during his time at the College of Charleston that Carter realized his passion for the art of sailmaking and the science behind sail design. Carter graduated in 2019 and moved to Annapolis to work with Quantum Sails as a service sailmaker. He quickly integrated himself into the Mid-Atlantic one-design sailing scene, excelling in the Snipe and Lightning classes. Carter also has experience with Viper 640s, E Scows, and high school and collegiate dinghies. After spending 2 years at the loft in Annapolis, Carter moved to Quantum Sails San Diego to be a One Design Sailmaker under Mark Reynolds and George Szabo. In San Diego, Carter focuses on the production, R&D, and sales of One Design Sails with the goal of providing the best sails to our clients. Carter enjoys giving back to the sport. He's a member of the Under 30 Committee for the U.S. Snipe Class, and enjoys coaching clinics, running regattas, and leading webinars.

George Szabo

George grew up in San Diego racing Stars, Lasers and Snipes. As a kid, he made sails for his model boats before eventually taking a part-time job with Quantum during high school and college. He came on full-time in 1993 as a sailmaker and designer. Using the latest computer design programs, George is able to create the fastest, most efficient sails for smaller One Design boats. This technology, combined with his intimate understanding of One Design sailing, allows him to create the most versatile sails available. The San Diego loft designs a variety of One Design sails, including Thistle and Lido 14, but their specialties are Olympic Class Star and Snipe boats. George is the 2009 Star World Champion, as well as an 21-time National/North American Champion. In addition to his sail-making abilities and wins, he is also an accomplished keelboat tactician and trimmer.

Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs accused of sexual harassment and assault by producer on his latest album

Sean “Diddy” Combs was sued Monday in federal court by a producer on his most recent album, who accuses the music mogul of sexually harassing, drugging and threatening him over more than a year. The producer, Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones, says in the lawsuit that he lived and traveled with Combs from September 2022 to November 2023, during which time he recorded hours of video and audio of Combs, his staff and others “engaging in serious illegal activity.”

Among the allegations is that Combs forced Jones to procure sex workers and pressured him to engage in unwelcomed sex acts with them and others and that Combs gave laced alcoholic beverages to people who attended parties at his homes. 

The lawsuit includes what it says are screenshots from gatherings hosted at Combs’ homes that included underage girls and sex workers, some of whom he said were provided drinks that had been laced with drugs at Combs’ direction.

The suit, filed in U.S District Court for the Southern District of New York, also names Combs’ adult son, Justin; his chief of staff, Kristina Khorram; Universal Music Group CEO Sir Lucian Grainge; and former Motown Records CEO Ethiopia Habtemariam as defendants. Jones says in the lawsuit that Grainge, Habtemariam, Motown Records, Love Records and Universal Music Group effectively worked together with Combs in a “RICO enterprise” that “failed to adequately monitor, warn, or supervise” the actions of Combs, his son and his chief of staff. A RICO enterprise is any individuals or groups that act together to violate the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act.

Jones is seeking $30 million.

Representatives for Justin Combs, Khorram, Grainge, Motown Records and Love Records did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Habtemariam could not immediately be reached for comment.

An attorney for Combs said Jones’ “reckless name-dropping about events that are pure fiction and simply did not happen is nothing more than a transparent attempt to garner headlines.”

“We have overwhelming, indisputable proof that his claims are complete lies. Our attempts to share this proof with Mr. Jones’ attorney, Tyrone Blackburn, have been ignored, as Mr. Blackburn refuses to return our calls,” the attorney, Shawn Holley, said in a statement. “We will address these outlandish allegations in court and take all appropriate action against those who make them.”

Sean Combs arrives at the 2018 Met Gala.

The suit is the latest in a series of  damning allegations against Combs .

According to Jones’ lawsuit, in or about August 2022, Combs called Jones and requested that he produce several songs on the R&B album “The Love Album: Off the Grid,” which was released in September 2023 and was nominated for a Grammy.

“Mr. Jones agreed, and his life has been detrimentally impacted ever since,” the lawsuit says.

Jones alleges that Combs sexually harassed and assaulted him while he lived with him at Combs’ homes in Florida, Los Angeles and New York, as well as on a yacht Combs rented in the U.S. Virgin Islands. The harassment and assault included “constant unsolicited and unauthorized groping and touching of his anus,” according to the lawsuit.

Jones says he was forced to work in Combs’ bathroom as Combs showered naked in a glass enclosure, according to the lawsuit.

When he raised concerns about the behavior to Khorram, Combs’ chief of staff, the lawsuit says, she dismissed them as “friendly horseplay, stating that those acts were Mr. Combs way of ‘showing that he likes you.’”

The lawsuit accuses Khoramm of aiding and abetting Combs’ sexual assault of Jones and of working with Combs “to groom him into accepting a homosexual relationship.”

Jones also alleges that he was forced to solicit sex workers and perform sex acts with them to please Combs. 

To aid in the alleged recruitment, Jones said, Combs provided him with “an exclusive Bad Boy baseball cap” and required him to wear it to a Miami establishment “as a signal to any sex worker he approached” that Combs was in town and had sent Jones to recruit them, the lawsuit says.

Jones alleges Combs, whom he describes in the suit as “forceful and demanding” and someone who does not take no for an answer, leveraged his power as one of the most influential people in hip-hop and business to intimidate him, including by threatening to inflict bodily harm if Jones did not comply with his demands.

On one occasion, Jones alleges, Combs forced him to watch as he displayed guns and bragged about getting away with shooting people. In a separate incident, Jones alleges, Combs shared that he was responsible for a shooting in a nightclub in New York City in 1999 with the rapper Shyne, born Jamal Barrow. A jury acquitted Combs of gun possession and bribery charges in connection with that incident, while Barrow was sentenced to 10 years in jail. Jones was terrified of Combs and felt he could not tell him no, according to the suit.

“Mr. Combs consistently made it clear that he has immense power in the music industry and with law enforcement,” the lawsuit says.

Jones says in the lawsuit that he has video and audio evidence to support some of the allegations. The lawsuit says that Combs required Jones to “record him constantly” and that on several occasions, Combs took Jones’ cellphone to record himself. As a result, Jones alleges, he has hundreds of hours of video and audio records of Combs, his staff and his guests “engaging in serious illegal activity.”

Jones says in the suit that he believes Combs also drugged him on Feb. 2, 2023. He alleges he woke up naked, dizzy and confused in bed with Combs and two sex workers.

In response to a request for comment, Jones’ attorney, Tyrone Blackburn, used a Latin phrase, “res ipsa loquitur,” which loosely translates as “the thing speaks for itself,” referring to the lawsuit.

Jones says in the suit that he was “under an implied work-for-hire agreement” and was not compensated for the songs he produced on “The Love Album.” As a result, the lawsuit says, Combs, Love Records, Motown Records and Universal Music Group were all unjustly enriched at his expense.   The labels did not immediately respond to requests for comment. 

Combs has been sued by four women who have accused him of sexual assault. Cassie, whose legal name is Casandra Ventura, said Combs physically abused her and forced her to have sex with male prostitutes while he masturbated and recorded the encounters. The lawsuit  was settled the day after it was filed . The settlement was “in no way an admission of wrongdoing,” Combs’ lawyer, Ben Brafman, has said.

Following Cassie’s lawsuit, two other women, Liza Gardner and Joie Dickerson-Neal, have alleged in lawsuits that Combs sexually assaulted them. And a woman identified as Jane Doe in court documents  said Combs and two other men gang-raped her when she was 17  and Combs was 34. 

Those three cases against Combs are still pending. In a statement in December, he denied the allegations, saying “enough is enough,” and called the claims against him “sickening.” 

“Let me be absolutely clear: I did not do any of the awful things being alleged. I will fight for my name, my family and for the truth,” he said in the statement.

The mounting allegations stand to harm Combs’ legacy and business empire. A day after Ventura filed her suit,  three of Combs’ former artists expressed support for her . The same month, Combs  stepped down as the chairman of Revolt TV . In December,  Hulu scrapped a reality television show  that was to have followed his family. And in January, Combs  withdrew his lawsuit against Diageo as part of a settlement  with the London-based spirits giant, which he had accused of racism.
