On the shore stands a large wooden house dating back the late 1800s, painted in a warm gold tone, tucked into the pines. Right on the Page 4 water’s edge is a matching golden boat house from the early 1900s, home to Fleet News many memories, a few lake-front critters, and a crown jewel of the Albacore Page 5 world. Sailor Profi les Page 6 Such is the setting where Peter and I met Sharon and Tom Webb on Roll Tacking Made Easy July 1st this year. The Webbs are the new owners of this delightful property on Lake Spofford near Keene, New Hampshire. Sharon and Tom knew that Page 7 - 9 they and their children, Lauren and Jordan, would enjoy this picturesque History Corner New England retreat, but they didn’t quite know what to make of the antique Page 10 wooden sailboat that came with the boathouse. Tom snooped around this Summer Regatta Review: dry-docked boat a bit, combined it with some web-surfi ng, and found his way Admiral Byrd to Peter Duncan. Peter jumped at the opportunity to look at this boat, so we Page 11 drove from Vermont to Lake Spofford for a morning visit. What we found was VA Governor’s Cup a Fairey Marine wooden Albacore #124, dating back to 1956! “Her Grace” Page 13 nd was among the fi rst 10 Albacores imported to North America, and the 2 old- Fun Daze, Kerr Lake est known to exist. She is a perfectly preserved time capsule from the 1950’s! Page 14 - 15 The excitement built as Peter discovered the original mast, complete with the North Americans Fairey Marine stamp and serial numbers on every piece of metal. Equally im- pressive was the condition of the original set of Egyptian cotton sails, stamped Page 14 with “1956, G. Lucas & Son Sailmakers, Portsmouth England”. Can’t imagine how the mice hadn’t found a comfy home in those sails! It’s unclear when “Her Grace” last touched the water, but with Peter’s help, the Webb family decided to try and launch her during our visit. The unique boathouse has a hinged fl oor launch that lowers to the water between two concrete piers. Carefully they lowered this fl oor, and ever-so-delicately fl oated “Her Grace” out to the lake’s edge. With a few quick instructions on mast-step- ping and sail-rigging, she was launched at exactly 12 noon. In all her mahogany beauty, “Her Grace” looked most regal out on the water. She’s found a perfect new home where she’ll undoubtedly get the attention and nurturing she deserves. A fi tting launch day for a 50th birthday!

The challenges of the past year have been met, and I am pleased that the public can again access our senior staff, and licensing program at the new Boston office. Staff have worked diligently to complete the new commercial licensing system that brings DMF into the 21st century. Fishermen and seafood dealers have overwhelmingly supported this new format. DMF has not undergone restructuring for over 30 years. While the cliché, “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it,” may hold true in many instances, it does not apply very well to administra- tion of government agencies. Periodic evaluations and strategic changes are critical to overall effectiveness and contribute to longevity of professional organizations. For this reason I’ve devoted much of my first year as DMF’s Director to an examination of our functions, services we provide, and our available resources relative to the agency’s mission with reorganization in mind. A new organizational structure for the Division has been and protect the living marine resources, environment, and completed. It will be highlighted at DMF’s homepage after it fisheries that comprise it. The ex-vessel value of commer- is presented to our staff in April. Restructuring to make better cially-caught fish and direct expenditures related to recre- use of existing resources have forced me to make some ational saltwater fishing exceed a half billion dollars per year.

  • 2019 One Design Classes and Sailor Survey
    2019 One Design Classes and Sailor Survey [email protected] One Design Classes and Sailor Survey One Design sailing is a critical and fundamental part of our sport. In late October 2019, US Sailing put together a survey for One Design class associations and sailors to see how we can better serve this important constituency. The survey was sent via email, as a link placed on our website and through other USSA Social media channels. The survey was sent to our US Sailing members, class associations and organizations, and made available to any constituent that noted One-Design sailing in their profile. Some interesting observations: • Answers are based on respondents’ perception of or actual experience with US Sailing. • 623 unique comments were received from survey respondents and grouped into “Response Types” for sorting purposes • When reviewing data, please note that “OTHER” Comments are as equally important as those called out in a specific area, like Insurance, Administration, etc. • The majority of respondents are currently or have been members of US Sailing for more than 5 years, and many sail in multiple One-Design classes • About 1/5 of the OD respondents serve(d) as an officer of their primary OD class; 80% were owner/drivers of their primary OD class; and more than 60% were members of their primary OD class association. • Respondents to the survey were most highly concentrated on the East and West coasts, followed by the Mid- West and Texas – though we did have representation from 42 states, plus Puerto Rico and Canada. • Most respondents were male.
