Until Very Recently, I Haven't Had Much to Report About Our Sailing Campaign to Represent the USA in the 2008 Beijing Paralympic Games May • 2007 The Log www.rochesteryc.com Goal: USA Paralympic Sailing Team For Beijing Get Out On The Water! Until very recently, I haven't had much to report about our sailing campaign to represent the USA in the 2008 Beijing Paralympic Games. In January, we met with Lt. John Pucillo USN EOD, when he came to Miami for a "team tryout". I had made an appeal to the Wounded Warriors Project, explaining that our team had an opening and that we wanted to offer it to a recovering serviceman. I explained the classification system for sailing and requested help to find a leg amputee that was strong and agile. Lt. Pucillo (aka "Pooch") answered the call. Last May, Pooch lost his left leg above the knee, while serving in Iraq. The Best Way To Kick Off Your Weekend… Friday Night Genoa Only Races EOD is the acronym for Explosive Ordnance Disposal.

The race runs south past Miami and slowly bends towards the west along the Keys for 160 NMs. This year Meridian XI started in an easterly wind with all the boats jib reaching. Within a few miles boats started setting their reaching spinnakers. For Meridian that meant a FR0 (fractional zero). A similar boat to Meridian XI, the Dunning 42 Baby B., was the competition for Meridian for the complete race. Unfortunately, there was never a chance to compare speeds in the reaching spinnaker configuration because a squall hit soon after setting the sails. The squall took out the FR0, and when the FRO blew up the single fractional halyard also broke. Without that halyard we were not able to set the other reaching spinnaker, the A5. We watched the Dunning sail away from us with their zero set while we jib reached behind them. It seemed to take forever for the course to bend around far enough to set the masthead A 1.5 spinnaker and begin to make ground on Baby B. The Gulf Stream flows hard to the north just a short distance out from the reef.

Such assistance should be a key service to our members and therefore we are instigating access through a special link on the AYH website. Many of us will have started research in yacht club records and club libraries, which are often haphazard and incomplete.

  • Lyrics – Sailing Ships & Sailing Men
    Sailing Ships & Sailing Men Lyrics – Sailing Ships & Sailing Men The Day of the Clipper (Steve Romanoff/Outer Green Music) You can see the squares of canvas dancing over the horizon, You can hear the chanty wailing to the heaving of the men; You can feel the seas up to your knees and you know the sea is rising, And you know the clipper's day has come again, To the men on high, the bosun's cry commands a killing strain, Till every mother's son begins to pray; With a hearty shout, she comes about as she heads into the rain, And the ship has never seen a better day. Chorus: Sailing ships and sailing men will sail the open waters, Where the only thing that matters is the wind inside the main. Come all you loving mothers, keep your eyes upon your daughters, For the sails will mend their tatters and the masts will rise again. Wooden beams and human dreams are all that makes her go, And the magic of the wind upon her sails. She'd rather fight the weather than the fishes down below; God help us if the rigging ever fails. As the timber creaks, the captain speaks above the vessel's groan, 'Til every soul on board can hear the call; It's nothing but the singing of the ship inside her bones, And this is when she like it best of all. (Chorus:) Where the current goes, the clipper's nose is plowing fields of green; Where fortune takes the crews, we wish them well, Where men could be when lost at sea is somewhere in between The regions of a heaven and a hell.
