  • July Sou'wester for Email
    July 2005 Official Publication of Alamitos Bay Yacht Club memorial day re g a tta 2005 Volume 78 • Number 7 by Chris Ericksen Photos by Rich Roberts ne hundred fifty one boats in seventeen divisions competed in the 2005 ABYC Memorial Day Regatta the weekend of Saturday and Sunday, May 28-29. O The turnout was the largest for this regatta since 1981 and featured not only a total of 51 Naples Sabots but also 35 catamarans, the largest turnout for multihulls in recent memory. ABYC’s Memorial Day Regatta has replaced what was the Hurricane Gulch Regatta for the local Hobie Cat sailors, and so there were not only Hobie Tigers sailing in a combined Formula 18 catamaran fleet but also some vener- able Hobie 16’s, which are experiencing quite a renaissance. While ABYC members Jeff Newsome and Tom DeLong made the jump into Sixteen’s for the weekend, the winner was a team with a familiar last name: Alter. Jeff and Cody Alter won in the eleven-boat class invented by the legendary Hobie Alter while Newsome took third. The eleven Formula 18’s also saw some familiar names as Dan DeLave and Eileen Haubl took second to Keith and Kurt Christiansen among the 11 cats in the division. Even the top three A-Cats had familiar ABYC names: Pete Melvin topped the fleet ahead of Pease Glaser in second and Jay Glaser in third. On Alamitos Bay, there were five divisions of Naples Sabots. Current ABYC Club Champions Freddie and Fred Stevens were one-two in the Senior Sabots, but Fred IV carded five firsts in six races while Fred III won on a tiebreaker with Jane MacNaboe.

  • 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.

  • A Primer on Sailing the Lido 14 Down Wind
    A Guide To Rigging The Classic Lido 14 by John Papadopoulos The following guide describes the basics of rigging a Lido 14 sailboat. If you need more detail, please don’t hesitate to contact the author via E-mail at [email protected] Plugs: Though not rigging related, there are 4 plugs on most Classic Lido 14s. The primary plug is usually in the transom but can also be found forward of the centerboard trunk in very early models. The purpose of this plug is to drain the cockpit. Please install this from the inside of the cockpit! Lido 14s built prior to about 1962 only had flotation via the seats, which are air tanks. After 1962, an additional air tank was fitted in the bow of the boat – also called the bow tank. All air tanks have a hole in them to drain water that may collect inside the tank. The holes are plugged with ordinary stopper corks. Check the tanks for water by tipping the bow upward and downward and seeing if any water flows out. Always remove the air tank corks when going up or down in altitude so that the pressure doesn’t build up in the tanks. Stepping the mast: First, always inspect the shrouds for damage (see Bits & Pieces reference below) Pass the lower end of each shroud wires thru the deck fittings located approximately 1' aft of the mast near the gunwales. Place the terminal fitting on the end of the shroud wire inside the channel of the shroud chain plate and fasten with a 3/16” diameter clevis pin.
