  • Topographical Compartment Analysis Tool to Analyze 1 Seacliff and Beach
    1 TopCAT – Topographical Compartment Analysis Tool to analyze 2 seacliff and beach change in GIS 3 4 Michael J. Olsen1*, Adam P. Young2, and Scott A. Ashford1 5 1. School of Civil and Construction Engineering, Oregon State University 6 2. Scripps Institution of Oceanography, University of California, San Diego 7 8 *corresponding author 9 220 Owen Hall 10 Corvallis, OR 97331 11 +1 (541)737-9327 12 [email protected] 13 14 15 Abstract 16 This paper discusses the development of a new GIS extension named the Topographic 17 Compartment Analysis Tool (TopCAT), which compares sequential digital elevation models 18 (DEMs) and provides a quantitative and statistical analysis of the alongshore topographical 19 change. TopCAT was specifically designed for the morphological analysis of seacliffs and 20 beaches but may be applied to other elongated features which experience topographical change, 21 such as stream beds, river banks, coastal dunes, etc. To demonstrate the capabilities of TopCAT 22 two case studies are presented herein. The first case examines coastal cliff retreat for a 500 m 23 section in Del Mar, California and shows that large failures comprised a large portion of the 24 total eroded volume and the average retreat rate does not provide a good estimate of local 25 maximum cliff retreat. The second case investigates the alongshore volumetric beach sand 26 change caused by hurricane Bonnie (1998) for an 85 km section in the Cape Hatteras National 27 Seashore, North Carolina. The results compare well (generally within 6%) with previous 1 28 investigations. These case studies highlight additional information gained through performing a 29 detailed, discretized analysis using TopCAT.

  • The International Flying Dutchman Class Book
    THE INTERNATIONAL FLYING DUTCHMAN CLASS BOOK www.sailfd.org 1 2 Preface and acknowledgements for the “FLYING DUTCHMAN CLASS BOOK” by Alberto Barenghi, IFDCO President The Class Book is a basic and elegant instrument to show and testify the FD history, the Class life and all the people who have contributed to the development and the promotion of the “ultimate sailing dinghy”. Its contents show the development, charm and beauty of FD sailing; with a review of events, trophies, results and the role past champions . Included are the IFDCO Foundation Rules and its byelaws which describe how the structure of the Class operate . Moreover, 2002 was the 50th Anniversary of the FD birth: 50 years of technical deve- lopment, success and fame all over the world and of Class life is a particular event. This new edition of the Class Book is a good chance to celebrate the jubilee, to represent the FD evolution and the future prospects in the third millennium. The Class Book intends to charm and induce us to know and to be involved in the Class life. Please, let me assent to remember and to express my admiration for Conrad Gulcher: if we sail, love FD and enjoyed for more than 50 years, it is because Conrad conceived such a wonderful dinghy and realized his dream, launching FD in 1952. Conrad, looked to the future with an excellent far-sightedness, conceived a “high-perfor- mance dinghy”, which still represents a model of technologic development, fashionable 3 water-line, low minimum hull weight and performance . Conrad ‘s approach to a continuing development of FD, with regard to materials, fitting and rigging evolution, was basic for the FD success.

  • 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.
