There will be a sign up sheet at the club or you can email me, Robyn Strickland at [email protected]. 1 Keowee Cup by Chris Zander This year’s running of the annual Keowee Cup was in my humble opinion a huge success. We had a great turnout of racers for both the recreational fleets (see next page) and the bouys course. I was PRO for the bouys course and my attention was focused there; however, I was amazed as the parade of racers left the docks and beaches for the starting line of their choice. Rob Kaiser managed the distance course, and with Judge Edith on board, the fleets were in very capable hands. They even managed to work around marks I audaciously set near their starting area. I can’t tell you what a blessing it is to have Edith in our midst, she’s a great resource and I sincerely hope she knows how much we enjoy and appreciate her presence. It is truly great to see the participation in our regular regattas and race series; the Flying Scots were out in force as usual, and it was great to see the Y-flyer and MC Scow duking it out with them. Our A fleet bouy racers really get your blood pumping too. With such fierce competition on some really impressive boats event the light conditions can make watching from the committee boat a nail biter. The weather was testy to say the least. After a lengthy postponement Saturday, we were able to get the racers started and worked them hard well into the afternoon. I suspect many were more than ready for dinner and a drink or two once we released them from the course. While the wind was not always on friendly terms with us on Sunday, the sunshine and temperature were absolutely perfect. At the awards ceremony, I had my mind on the health of a good friend and did a horrible job of thanking the people that made this regatta really work. I am going to try and correct that here. Jack and Becky Wise took care of registration; thank you both. On the water helping the bouy course were Kristen Goodman and my right hand man, David Strickland. Tony and Jessie have been a real fixture around race committee duty and they certainly showed their experience. New member Kent McKinney pulled duty both on a mark boat and took times and scores on the committee boat. I had a great time getting to know him; his lovely wife Suzy worked very hard with the entertainment and keeping bellys full. They are certainly a great addition to our KSC Family. Robin Strickland and Jennifer Strickland were absolutely everywhere -- committee boat, arranging dinner and lunch, making sure we all had a great time both on and off the water. 10-year-old Bedry (hope I’m spelling that right) was our signal master Sunday. Doug French managed the scoring so if you have an issue take it up with him. Seriously, he is alway willing to make sense out of those hieroglyphics and he is to be either commended or committed. Aziz helped out immensely on Saturday. Thanks to Terry Keene our race committee chair and to Sam Seacrest who is always lending a hand. Oh, and if you enjoyed breakfast Sunday, let our Commodore Adam Robinson know. He had a whole slew of folk busily feeding us and I for one can’t thank them enough. So all in all I’d say it was another great Keowee Cup in the books. Let’s see if we can top it come Turkeyshoot time! 2 Keowee Cup – Recreational Fleet Course by Rob Kaiser The recreational fleet consisted of nine mono-hulls ranging in size from Pat Riordan’s Hunter 30 to Christine Mercier in her O’Day 19 and three catamarans. The catamarans were given their own start sequence and the mono-hulls, while scored in their respective Blue or Green Fleets, started together. The first race on Saturday started at the ‘north’ research buoy with the boats racing out around Island #7 and back to a finish at the ‘north’ research buoy. The three catamarans got off first in a light, but fading, northerly breeze followed by the mono- hulls in the second starting sequence 7 minutes later. When the boats were about halfway up the first leg of the course to Island #7 the wind died down to almost nothing. After about twenty minutes, the wind shifted into the west and filled in allowing all boats to complete their race in a lovely 6 to 7 knot breeze. Adam Robinson crossed first in the catamaran fleet and Bill Hurni was first in the mono-hulls in his Capri 26. The second race on Sunday again started at the ‘north’ research buoy with the fleet set to go out around Island #5, back to the ‘north’ research buoy, back around Island #5 and finishing at the ‘north’ research buoy. Both Fleets started in a very light and patchy northerly. When the wind did not fill in as predicted the race was shortened after one lap around Island #5. Once again Adam Robinson was first to finish in the catamaran fleet and Bill Hurni was first to finish in his Capri 26.

The lake was, shall we say, depth challenged as it can be this time of year.

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.

  • 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.
