This year, US Sailing Event Chairman, Drew Daugherty, selected the Lightning sailboat and asked the Carlyle Sailing Association to host the event. Twenty skippers, who are the reigning National, International, or North American Champions of their respective classes, are invited to compete. As the reigning Y-Flyer International Champion, I was invited to represent our class. The regatta was managed with precision by Drew Daugherty and Regatta Chairman, Matt Burridge, as well as a cadre of volunteers. The regatta began Wednesday morning with registration and a Lightening overview, including sailing tips, for my crew, Pat Passafiume and Steve Roeschlein, and myself. The remainder of Wednesday was spent honing our skills with several hours of practice racing and sailing. The afternoon practice races brought winds from the north in the low teens, white capping waters and air temperatures in the mid 40’s with a very cloudy and gray sky. The practice race course was approximately nine-tenths of a mile to windward, a mile to a leeward gate, and one- tenth of a mile upwind to the finish.

ECONOMIC VALUE OF RECREATIONAL FISHING TO RHODE ISLAND HAS INCREASED Value now more than commercial fishing Recreational fishing appeals to our sense of adventure and builds a lifetime of memories with family and friends. It is also important to the Rhode Island economy! (See story on page 16) Proposed changes to coastal management of tautog States Schedule Hearings on Draft Amendment 1 The Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission (ASMFC) has announced that the states of Massachusetts through Virginia have scheduled hearings to gather public comment on Draft Amendment 1 to the Interstate Fishery Management Plan (FMP) for Tautog. The Draft Amendment proposes a fundamental change in tautog management, moving away from management on a coastwide basis towards regional management. In addition, Draft Amendment 1 proposes the establishment of a commercial harvest tagging program, as well as new goals and objectives, biological reference points and fishing mortality targets, and a stock rebuilding schedule. Specifically, Draft Amendment 1 proposes delineating the stock into four regions due to differences in biology and fishery characteristics, as well as limited coastwide movement.

  • The International Flying Dutchman Class Book
    THE INTERNATIONAL FLYING DUTCHMAN CLASS BOOK www.sailfd.org 1 2 Preface and acknowledgements for the “FLYING DUTCHMAN CLASS BOOK” by Alberto Barenghi, IFDCO President The Class Book is a basic and elegant instrument to show and testify the FD history, the Class life and all the people who have contributed to the development and the promotion of the “ultimate sailing dinghy”. Its contents show the development, charm and beauty of FD sailing; with a review of events, trophies, results and the role past champions . Included are the IFDCO Foundation Rules and its byelaws which describe how the structure of the Class operate . Moreover, 2002 was the 50th Anniversary of the FD birth: 50 years of technical deve- lopment, success and fame all over the world and of Class life is a particular event. This new edition of the Class Book is a good chance to celebrate the jubilee, to represent the FD evolution and the future prospects in the third millennium. The Class Book intends to charm and induce us to know and to be involved in the Class life. Please, let me assent to remember and to express my admiration for Conrad Gulcher: if we sail, love FD and enjoyed for more than 50 years, it is because Conrad conceived such a wonderful dinghy and realized his dream, launching FD in 1952. Conrad, looked to the future with an excellent far-sightedness, conceived a “high-perfor- mance dinghy”, which still represents a model of technologic development, fashionable 3 water-line, low minimum hull weight and performance . Conrad ‘s approach to a continuing development of FD, with regard to materials, fitting and rigging evolution, was basic for the FD success.
