    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.

  • SLACKTIDE's Sea Trials: Breaking in Our T26x7 Part
    SLACKTIDE's Sea Trials: Breaking in our T26x7 Dave Zeiger © 2010 www.TriloBoats.com Part 1 of 4 Introduction Anke and I have just completed our first season's cruising SLACKTIDE in SE Alaskan waters. She's a 26' x 7' x 1', engine-free, junk ketch-rigged sailing barge of my design (plans and more pics at our website). She's not one of those curvacious barge-babes, either, but a four-square and unrepentant box barge. Years ago I read that it was once common to convert smallish box barges, originally built to service bridges, into sailing cruisers. My memory paraphrases the passage thus: These little yachts, generally gaff-rigged and sporting leeboards, were surprisingly beloved by their owners. They could be found tucked away in backwaters one would think only accessible to more able vessels.1 1 I think I read this in a book on small boat conversions, but have lost the source. If you know it, please drop me a line at [email protected]. --Thanks! I skimmed that passage in passing, along with its appealing pen and ink sketch of one, anchored in obvious contentment. Interesting, but I'd never seen such a barge – they seem to belong to times past. Yet the memory lay dormant for two decades before pushing through the mud of my id. Being by nature a penny pinching breed of sloth, I was finally led by circuitous routes back to the box barge. Plywood replaces the planks of yore, but like their inspirators, TriloBoats are, as boats go, extremely cheap and easy to build.

  • 2014 International Naples Sabot Junior Championship Regatta
    2014 INTERNATIONAL NAPLES SABOT JUNIOR CHAMPIONSHIP REGATTA Organizing Authority: International Naples Sabot Association (INSA) and the Balboa Bay Fleet Host: Newport Harbor Yacht Club (NHYC) August 4-7, 2014 SAILING INSTRUCTIONS 1 RULES 1.1 The regatta will be governed by the rule s as defined in the Racing Rule s of Sailing (RRS) and the INSA Class Rule s, including the Championship Guidelines. 1.2 USCG approved PFD’s shall be worn at all times by competitors while on the water, other than brief periods while adding or removing clothing. The ‘Y’ flag will not be flown. This modifies rule 40 and the preamble to Part 4. 1.3 The US Sailing prescriptions to rules 60, 63.2 and 63.4 are deleted. 1.4 Breaches of instructions which are annotated [NP] will not be grounds for a protest by a boat. This changes rule 60.1(a). If the jury concludes that a boat has broken one of these rules, or rule 55, it may impose a penalty other than disqualification. In these cases, the discretionary penalty, if less than disqualification, will be represented by the scoring abbreviation “DPI”. The penalty imposed by the jury in such case constitutes the “other penalty” in the first sentence of rule 64.1. 1.5 Other changes to rule s may appear in the relevant sailing instructions (SI). 2 NOTICE TO COMPETITORS 2.1 Notices to competitors will be posted online and on the official notice board located on the window proximal to the Flag Deck. 2.2 Any change in the sailing instructions will be posted not fewer than thirty (30) minutes before it will take effect, except that any change to the schedule of races will be made by 2000h on the day before it is to take place.

  • Sailing Course Materials Overview
    SAILING COURSE MATERIALS OVERVIEW INTRODUCTION The NCSC has an unusual ownership arrangement -- almost unique in the USA. You sail a boat jointly owned by all members of the club. The club thus has an interest in how you sail. We don't want you to crack up our boats. The club is also concerned about your safety. We have a good reputation as competent, safe sailors. We don't want you to spoil that record. Before we started this training course we had many incidents. Some examples: Ran aground in New Jersey. Stuck in the mud. Another grounding; broke the tiller. Two boats collided under the bridge. One demasted. Boats often stalled in foul current, and had to be towed in. Since we started the course the number of incidents has been significantly reduced. SAILING COURSE ARRANGEMENT This is only an elementary course in sailing. There is much to learn. We give you enough so that you can sail safely near New Castle. Sailing instruction is also provided during the sailing season on Saturdays and Sundays without appointment and in the week by appointment. This instruction is done by skippers who have agreed to be available at these times to instruct any unkeyed member who desires instruction. CHECK-OUT PROCEDURE When you "check-out" we give you a key to the sail house, and you are then free to sail at any time. No reservation is needed. But you must know how to sail before you get that key. We start with a written examination, open book, that you take at home.

An exciting summer of sailing, adventure, friendship, and fun awaits you whether you are a first-time sailor or are returning to continuing building your skills. We have worked hard to develop a youth sailing program that is fun, challenging, and safe. Our program is designed to teach solid sailing fundamentals, instill Corinthian spirit, and respect the marine environment. Our instructors are ready to challenge you to work hard, play hard and learn something new each day! There is tremendous satisfaction, pride and empowerment that come with learning to sail a boat on your own. This handbook has been designed to help you prepare for a great sailing experience and will also be a useful reference as your child progresses through the program. Learning to sail will be quite different than anything your kids have done before and the sport is loaded with unusual terms and equipment to learn about. We’ve included a lot of reference information in this guide that you can use with your kids. We are always looking for ways to improve what we do for the kids and an important way we gauge our success is by feedback from parents and our young sailors. Please contact me by phone or email with any comments, suggestions or issues you may have.

  • 32' Cruising Yacht
    LEGACY YACHTS 32’ CRUISING YACHT WHISTLER 32 DIMENSIONS LOA: 32' 0" LWL: 25' 10" BEAM: 10' 6" DRAFT: BOARD UP 3’ 10" DISPLACEMENT, 1/2 load: 11,923 lbs BALLAST (lead): 4,728 lbs SAIL AREA (100% foretriangle): 520 sq ft DISP/L RATIO: 309 SAIL AREA/DISP RATIO: 15.94 The first few boats were rigged as cat-ketches. This one is “readin’ both pages.” Shortly after designing the BAHAMA SANDPIPER I was hired by Crozier Fox, Tom Morris’s neighbor and also a boatbuilder, to design a 32 foot keel-centerboarder that he named the WHISTLER 32. His boatyard Able Marine had been building small trailerable sailboats and wanted to add something larger. A brilliant promoter named Garry Hoyt had spent a couple of years and a great deal of effort extolling the virtues of the cat-ketch rig. It’s a lot easier to steal an idea than to invent one and Cro and I just thought we’d grab a small chunk of the market Garry had created. The WHISTLER 32 had a lot of virtues and few flaws. As had become my habit I carved a half model and used it to develop her conservative, beamy hull shape. The keel was shallow and undulated aft to meet the bottom of the rudder. This was a shape with a lot of wetted surface which I matched with a big sailplan. I believe this combination makes the best possible offshore cruiser since the hull has significant “engagement with the water” and can press on when boats with less lateral plane are overwhelmed.
