Winnerboats Europe Class Results 2003 � World Champion 2002 - Women’S Fleet JUNE 2003 / 2 NEWSINTERNATIONAL EUROPE CLASS UNION From the President From France Dear Sailors ! Spring is traditionally a big period in sailing, and a lot of important events are sailed At Easter time I spent a week in Palma. I was in a few weeks. In France, as warming, the national regatta took place in April in Les as usual impressed over how the topsailors Sables d’Olonnes, and more than 120 competitors competed in light and medium winds. can handle our litlle difficult sailed dinghy.

However, Anne Marteau realized a good performance by taking the second place was very happy to see a lot of new faces in right behind Mathieu Derand who showed an outstanding speed in medium wind. Anne the class. That is perfect for the future. In was using a new hull built by Erplast.

WB-Sails has done a lot of research around Valérian Lebrun the Europe sail as part of their development work. In addition to the traditional on- water testing with 2 or 3 boats, both wind tunnel measurements and sophisticated computer simulation have been used, striving for faster shapes and more versatile sails. A digital video camera attached to the top of the mast is routinely used to record and analyze sail shape in all wind conditions. Wind tunnel testing An accurate scale model of the Europe dinghy was created for the wind tunnel testing. Actually the hull used was that of a 470 with a modified bow, since the hull was there from earlier tests and its exact shape is not that important. Much care was given to the design of the mast and the sails, produced in 1:4 scale to fit in the Helsinki University of Technology wind tunnel. The bending of the carbon mast, with sail groove and everything, was carefully engineered so that it was exactly the same as the real mast. In addition, its overall stiffness was adjusted so that the loading on the sailcloth would be similar to the real world sail when blown with a two times stronger wind than in reality. Thus we could use the same sailcloth as in the actual sails, Read more>>> JUNE 2003 INTERNATIONAL EUROPE CLASS UNION 1 — www.europeclass.org — >>> for both the horizontal and the radial Computer calculated wind design.

Computer simulation of the wind flow around sails has evolved quickly during the last few years. Sophisticated tools can give much more detailed information about what is happening around the sail than wind tunnel testing. However, wind tunnel testing Top view of the Europe with computer generated is essential in validating or qualibrating the streamlines around the flow software. In practice, the wind tunnel sail.

In South Moravia, about 30 km from Brno and 100 km from Vienna (Austria) the race was held from 9 to 11 May 2003. The Lake Nové Mlýny gave a hearty welcome to 46 competitors from Czech Republic, 8 from Austria, 1 from Slovakia. The wind conditions were not quite excellent but the weather was wonderful and sunny.

  • WBYC Membership Packet
    Willow Bank Yacht Club has been a fixture on the Cazenovia Lake shoreline since 1949. Originally formed as a sailing club, over the years it has become a summer home to many Cazenovia and surrounding area families. Willow Bank provides its members with outstanding lake frontage and views, docks, private boat launch, picnic area, beach, swimming area, swimming lessons, sailing lessons, children’s programming, Galley take-out restaurant and a lively social program. The adult sailing program at Willow Bank is one of the most active in Central New York. Active racing fleets include: Finn, Flying Dutchman, Laser, Lightning and Sunfish. Each of these fleets host a regatta over the summer and fleet members will often travel to other area clubs for regattas as well. Formal club point races are held on Sundays. These are races to determine a club champion in each fleet. This format provides for a fun competition within the fleets. On Saturdays, the club offers Free-for-All races which allow members to go out and get some experience racing in any class of sailboat. Adults also have sailing opportunities during the week with our Women of Willow Bank fleet sailing and socializing on Wednesday evenings and, on Thursday evenings, we now have an informal sailing and social program for all members. In addition, we offer group adult lessons and private lessons for anyone looking to learn how to sail. For our youngest members we have a great sand beach and a lifeguarded swimming area which allows hours of summer fun! Swimming lessons, sailing lessons, and Junior Fleet racing, round out our youth programs.
