The Phuket Yacht Club at AoYon, near Cape Panwa, with a small but friendly beachside clubhouse, held its first dinghy and Hobie Cat Regatta last Sunday 21 December 2008. It was a beautiful sunny day with clear water, for sailing out in the bay beyond the oyster farm marked by the white buoys. The starter boat signaled the messages to the sailors in the regatta. There were only five Hobie Cats and Catamarans who started the race in breezy conditions. Katy, sailing secretary, of the club described some of the 20 boat and sailors: The Hobie boats, popular with beach hotels, can quickly reach speeds of over twenty-to-thirty knots in good winds.

Merv Owens, the new commodore of the club, was putting his feet up enjoying sailing in a bigger and heavier Catamaran. Katy described the other smaller dinghy boats in the other category: The Topaz, and their sailors, are built in the U.K. but seem to like the Phuket waters. Paul, the ex-commodore of the club, was also enjoying the Topaz experience. Adam Bowers, from U.K., was helping with the timing & organization of the regatta as he has good qualifications as coach of the successful British sailing crews including recent Olympic winners: After the first races they gave out sandwiches to the hungry sailors. Katy mentioned how they hope to attract more adult members to this friendly club : The second part of racing started after lunch. You could see the fun elements of small boat racing but to really appreciate the excitement both for foreigners, and also Thai people who seem a little reluctant to try this cheaper & easier form of sailing, I went on board with a Swedish-Thai family on a Topaz: Another crew on a Hobie Cat, Tony Knight and Grenville Fordham, MD of IMAGE asia, organizer of the annual Phuket Raceweek Regatta, told me how they were enjoying this new experience : If you want to also catch the sailing bug & learn some special skills from the GB coach, Adam gave more details of his expert training course to be held at the club this coming weekend: To get more details on how to get on board, on & off the water.

Yacht Broker $70.1 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles A yacht broker is a specialist agent who acts as a representative for the sale of a yacht or boat. The yacht broker is paid an agreed commission the sale price of a yacht and to this end markets the yacht for sale, fields buyer interest and act as a middle man in the negotiations. Yachting is very common in the Mediterranean and Caribbean Seas, which are also the most popular waterways for leisure boating being proximate to the large western populations of Europe and North America. A yacht charter broker may specialize in the sale of fully crewed luxury yachts or smaller bareboat yachts, or both. The term yacht broker can sometimes be confused with the term yacht charter broker. A yacht broker acts as an agent in the sale of yachts, rather than the sale of charter time on yachts. Occasionally a person will carry out both roles but more commonly a company as a whole will carry out both roles and employ both yacht charter brokers and yacht brokers. The roles are therefore normally specialised and distinguished. Author: Surhone, Lambert M./ Timpledon, Miriam T./ Marseken, Susan F.

Yacht Transport $65.33 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Yacht transport is the shipping of a yacht to a destination instead of sailing or motoring it. Yacht transport is an alternative to the traditional passaging (sailing or motoring) to reach desired destinations around the globe. Transport when compared to passaging is cost effective, safer and improves availability. For many dedicated sailors, passaging or an ocean crossing is a rite of passage, but it comes with many risks and expenses. For many serious cruisers, financial, business and family considerations argue against the longterm fulltime dedication that ocean crossings require. Yacht transport becomes an alternative when the destination and cruising(maritime) is more important than the passaging. Yacht transport generally eliminates costly, time consuming, and dangerous difficult ocean crossings, opening up cruising to more people. Container cruising, one approach to yacht transport, is significantly less expensive and has greater flexibility with respect to timing and destinations.

What do you make if these tax reform ideas?

Last spring, I had a friend visit me from Great Britain. She explained that the British government automatically deducts income taxes from people's checks and gives them the rebates each week. They don't file their income taxes annually like we do here in America. It's already done for them. Essentially, that was how they were able to prevent people from cheating on their taxes? Meanwhile, I have another idea. I say we should instill a progressive sales tax. The baseline sales tax should be a standard 8%. Meanwhile, it increases gradually as items become more expensive. That way when all these rich fat cats pay for yachts and condos, they'll be making contributions back to the community. They're the ones I hear complaining about paying taxes the most. Then many of them donate to charity over in Africa because it makes them look good. Freedom isn't free, people. Not only is it paid for in blood; it's also paid for in taxes. What do you make of this idea?

PAYE is the long established tax system in the UK, as in Pay As You Earn. It worked reasonably well, certainly better than the US system in my view. What you have been told about recently is called Working Families Tax Credits where you get progressively more tax back every week which was supposed to especially help the poor but has turned into a bureaucratic nightmare since introduced 8 years ago. In fact it expects people to predict their income for the coming year now and pay back over-payments after you've had and spent them! It never occurred to the rich/powerful that when you live hand to mouth you can't predict what you will be making month to month.
I only checked this link because I was fascinated that anyone could believe 2 nukes set off on the same day would kill us all! At the height of cold war testing 1000's were set off often several per day by the French w/out any noticeable effects on the atmosphere. Count on an all out exchange eventually followed by an all out ground war over the Southern hemisphere which will be fine..
