The lake was, shall we say, depth challenged as it can be this time of year. But that was a minor nuisance because about the only gasoline burning boats on the lake were the committee, rescue, mark, and spectator boats.

We were there to participate in the Grand Rapids-Spring lake Yacht Clubs inter club regatta. He was promoting sailing and establishing friendships as a teenager, and he never stopped doing it during his whole life. We competed head to head for several years, tough competition on the water, but always a renewal of the friendship after the race. When I was Commodore of the Western Michigan Yachting Association in 1967 Chuck was selected by the Grand Rapids Yacht Club to represent them on the board of directors.

  • Melges Promo
    # THE WORLD LEADER IN PERFORMANCE ONE DESIGN RACING # # MELGES.COM # # MELGES.COM MELGES BOAT WORKS, INC. was founded by Harry C. Melges, Sr. in 1945. Melges became an instant leader in scow boat design, production and delivery in the U.S., particularly in the Midwest. Harry, Sr. initially built boats out of wood. The first boats produced were flat-bottomed row boats, which provided a core business to keep his vision and the company alive. It wasn't long before he branched into race boat production delivering the best hulls, sails, spars, covers and accessories ensuring his customers stayed on the competitive cutting-edge. Melges (pronounced mel•gis), is one of the most reputable, recognized and respected family names in the sailing industry. The devotion, generosity, perseverance and passion that surrounds the name is undeniable. It will forever be a legendary symbol of quality, excellence and experience that is second-to-none. Early on Harry Sr.’s son, Harry “Buddy” Melges, Jr. was involved in operating the family boat building business. Over time, Buddy established an impressive collection of championship titles and Olympic medals. During the 1964 Olympics, Buddy was awarded a bronze medal in the Flying Dutchman and in 1968 won a gold medal at the Pan Am Games. In 1972, he won a gold medal in the Soling in Kiel, Germany — the Soling’s official debut in Olympic competition. In the years that followed, Buddy won over 60 major national and international sailing championship titles. They include the Star in 1978 and 1979; 5.5 Metre in 1967, 1973 and 1983; International 50 Foot World Cup in 1989; Maxi in 1991 and the National E Scows in 1965, 1969, 1978, 1979 and 1983.

  • SCOW Flying Scot Sail Locker
    Flying Scot Skipper Information File (SIF) Sailing Club of Washington Flying Scot Skipper Information File Adopted by the board: February 10, 2019 1 Safety First! Safety around the marina and on the water is the priority and responsibility for skipper and crew. Rules, regulations, experience and good judgment all contribute to a safe and enjoyable sailing experience. 2 Introduction This Flying Scot Skipper Information File (SIF) sets forth the skipper responsibilities and SCOW procedures for the use of the club’s Flying Scot sailboats. This SIF supplements the SCOW Skipper Requirements and Boat Use Policy, which contain general procedures for the use of all club boats. Skippers are required to be familiar with and follow these documents before operating the Flying Scots. This SIF is intended only to emphasize important procedures for using the Flying Scot. It is not a sailing instruction manual. Each skipper is responsible for being completely capable of launching, rigging, sailing, docking and retrieving the Flying Scots. This SIF is not a substitute for training and experience. 3 Expectations of all Flying Scot Skippers for Care of the Vessels Take pride in our boats by leaving them better than you found them after you sail. Remove all trash, wash inside and outside of the hull, and remove scuff marks. Stow equipment in the appropriate locations on the boat and in the sail locker. All Flying Scot Skippers are expected to participate in scheduled maintenance days. 4 Failure to Follow Club Rules Skippers who repeatedly fail to follow SCOW rules will have their skipper privileges suspended or revoked.

  • 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.
