Reid Stava Measures Eabd 1877 www.rochesteryc.co April • 2007 m A New Look For RYC n addition to the upstairs dining room, another exciting remodeling project has taken place at the IClub. New signs have been installed at the entry gates and doors, new placemats are in use in the dining room, and new coasters have been introduced in the bar. The banner of the Log and the website have been changed, and new window decals for your car and boat are available for purchase. Over the next few months, all the Club materials will be changed to incorporate our revised logo. Like the Club DVD premiered at the Grand Re-opening of the upstairs dining room, our logo is part of an effort to raise awareness and influence the public perception of our Club. It is a valuable marketing tool and we felt the revision should address the following issues: • CONTINUITY: The Club has a long history and the burgee has been associated with the Club since its beginning. For that reason, we felt it was important to continue to utilize the burgee as our logo. • IDENTITY: Presented alone, our burgee has no meaning to the general public. So a key requirement was Ingham Is One of World’s Top Finishers to incorporate our name into the design. We also wanted RYC’s Mike Ingham just finished the 2007 J/24 Worlds in to establish a signature typeface, so that our name would Puerta Vallarta taking second place, missing only the appear in the same typeface on all our materials. defending Worlds Champ Mauricio Santa Cruz of Brazil. • STYLE: The best logos reflect the qualities of the Mike and fellow RYC members Ernie Ferullo and Bobby companies and their products. The Rochester Yacht Club Bryant, along with master boat builder exstraordinaire, Curt is a well-established premium product. We wanted the Barnes, and friend Jon Faudre had a great regatta, finishing design to convey these qualities, as well as the friendliness and accessibility of the Club.

  • To My Friends in the UK I Seem to Have Promised Steve and Simon That I Would Write an Article on Tuning a Sonar for Your Website
    To My Friends in the UK I seem to have promised Steve and Simon that I would write an article on tuning a Sonar for your website. Since “tuning” alone is not enough to be useful, here are some of my thoughts on a number of factors that may improve upwind performance. I hope you find at least some of this helpful. Further, in an effort to counteract the current wave of American tribalism, I welcome any requests for clarification, or other discussion, either on your website forum or by email to [email protected]. Sheeting and Steering-Mainsheet and jib sheet trim are the most critical controls. In moderate conditions mainsheet wants to be trimmed so the upper leech telltale stalls about half the time. In light air you may want it to flow most of the time to maximize speed and get the keel working. In very heavy air you may not be able to keep it from flowing full time, which also helps drive through waves. Traveler should be adjusted so boom is on the centerline unless you’re overpowered. Every small puff opens the main leech and requires an immediate trim to restore the leech to its critical setting. Every lull requires an ease. Jib should be sheeted so all three luff telltales break at the same time but jib upper leech telltale should absolutely never stall. We do not cleat the jib sheet while sailing upwind, but always work to perfect its trim. In very light air I like to heel the boat to give some shape to the sails.

  • 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.
