Page 2 EARLY HISTORY OF THE IDNIYRA On February 21 and 22, 1953 the Detroit Ice Yacht Club sponsored a regatta to bring the DN skippers together to help form an association. A meeting of the skippers was held at this regatta and two representatives from each club pres- ent were chosen to outline a constitution for the association. North Star Sail Club was represented by John Liston and Fred Kagel; Anchor Bay Ice Yacht Club by Tom King and A. J. Walker; Detroit Ice Yacht Club by William Sarns and Clifford Cartwright. The representatives met at the home of the Cartwrights the following Sunday afternoon and briefly outlined a constitution. William Sarns was elected to serve as temporary secretary and to compose the constitution. The secretary prepared a constitution and sent out copies to the represen- tatives in the following fall. They were returned to the secretary along with desired changes. The changes that the majority wanted were incorporated and 200 copies were printed. A copy was sent out to each individual who attended the first regatta and others who were interested. On January 17, 1954 the Northwestern Ice Yachting Association passed a resolution that they would accept the DN Association’s specifications for their DN races which are now included in their annual regatta. On January 7, 1954 the North Star Sail Club offered to be host for the annual regatta. There were no other offers so theirs was accepted. Sixty-two programs were sent out on February 1 for the regatta scheduled for February 20 and 21. On February 19 the regatta was transferred to Cass Lake because of poor ice at the North Star Club House on Lake St. Clair. The first five DN’s in this regatta were: (1) Jack Moran, (2) Skip Boston, (3) Paul Eggert, (4) Bill Sporer, and (5) Bill Sarns. The IDNIYRA was incorporated as a Non-Profit Corporation in the State of Michigan in 1962 for the following stated purpose. “To promote, protect and perpetuate DN one-design iceboating, to advance the art and skill of the DN Ice Yacht construction and sailing as well as the future development of the DN Class Ice Yacht and the sport of ice yachting on all the hard waters of the world.” IDNIYRA YEAR BOOK 2018 Page 3 IDNIYRA CORPORATE OFFICERS Richard Potcova US216 13790 Alton Dr Monroe, Michigan 48161-3847 Phone: 1-734-497-9047 Email: [email protected] North American Member Web Site https://ice.idniyra.org/ Webmaster: Deb Whitehorse [email protected] European Member Web Site http://www.icesailing.org Webmaster:

  • 1 Sailboat Autopilot
    Sailboat Autopilot: Mainsheet Tender Module Jonathan Harris Engineering 90 2007 – 2008 Professor Fred Orthlieb 1 Abstract The Art of sailing a wind powered vessel relies heavily on the ability of the crew to trim the sails. Finding the right angle of the sail with respect to the vessel will apply the optimal amount of force with the least amount of drag on the boat. Using the idea that there is an optimal sail angle, a device has been constructed which based on wind direction relative to the boat calculates the optimal sail angle and adjusts the mainsheet accordingly. The tender is designed as a modular system that functions independent of an autopilot program that would be set to maintain a heading, hence it can be used with any autopilot system currently on the market or used independently with a sailor steering the vessel. 2 Acknowledgements Without the assistance of the Engineering Faculty and staff at Swarthmore College, this project would not be.

Iran is located in an arid, semi-arid region. Due to the unfavorable distribution of surface water, to fulfill water demands and fluctuation of yearly seasonal streams, Iranian people have tried to provide a better condition for utilization of water as a vital matter. This paper intends to acquaint the readers with some of the famous Iranian historical water monuments. Keywords. Historic – Water – Monuments – Iran – Qanat – Ab anbar – Dam. Structures hydrauliques et gestion de l’eau en Iran : une perspective historique Résumé. L’Iran est situé dans une région aride, semi-aride. La répartition défavorable des eaux de surface a conduit la population iranienne à créer de meilleures conditions d’utilisation d’une ressource aussi vitale que l’eau pour faire face à la demande et aux fluctuations des débits saisonniers annuels. Ce travail vise à faire connaître certains des monuments hydrauliques historiques parmi les plus fameux de l’Iran. Mots-clés. Historique – Eau – Monuments – Iran – Qanat – Ab anbar – Barrage. I - Introduction Iran is located in an arid, semi-arid region. Due to the unfavorable distribution of surface water, to fulfill water demands and fluctuation of yearly seasonal streams, Iranian people have tried to provide a better condition for utilization of water as a vital matter. Iran is located in the south of Asia between 44º 02´ and 63º 20´ eastern longitude and 25º 03´ to 39º 46´ northern latitude. The country covers an area of about 1.648 million km2.

Previous investigations have revealed that the thicker and longer insulators are covered with ice, the icing degree becomes worse and icing accident probability increases. Therefore, an image processing method was proposed to extract the characteristics of the icicle length and Rg (ratio of the air gap length to the insulator length) of ice-covered insulators for monitoring the operation of iced outdoor insulator strings. The tests were conducted at the artificial climate room of CIGELE Laboratories recommended by IEEE Standard 1783/2009. The surface phenomena of the insulator during the ice accretion process were recorded by using a high-speed video camera. In the view of the ice in the background of the picture of fuzzy features and high image noise, a direct equalization algorithm is used to enhance the grayscale iced image contrast. The median filtering method is conducted for reducing image noise and sharpening the image edge.
