  • Eight Bells: Carleton Mitchell - July 16, 2007 Newport Bermuda Race News 7/16/2007
    Race News Eight Bells: Carleton Mitchell - July 16, 2007 Newport Bermuda Race News 7/16/2007 (By John Rousmaniere) The winner of a record three straight Bermuda Races in Finisterre , a cruising sailor and powerboater of great accomplishment, and one of boating’s best and most influential writers and photographers, Carleton Mitchell died of heart failure on July 16, 2007, at his home in Key Biscayne, Florida. He was 96. Mitch (as he was always called) first sailed as a boy in an uncle’s racing sloop off New Orleans. He kept a scrapbook in which he pasted pictures of boats, and when he was 12 he answered an inquiry about his plans for a career by announcing, “I want to sail and write about it.” That dream survived college in Ohio and mundane jobs in the Depression (for a while he sold women’s underwear at Macy’s). It even survived a wretched experience in a leaky old ketch that almost sank in the Gulf Stream. When the ketch staggering into Nassau, he began his lifelong love affair with the Bahamas, where he later worked as a writer and photographer. (Photo Credit: John T. Hopf, 1958, copyright Mystic Seaport Carleton Mitchell Collection.) After wartime service in the U. S. Navy’s photography department, he bought one of John Alden’s old Malabar s and, renaming her Carib , sailed to the West Indies, which then were barely known by Ameri can sailors. Out of this cruise came the first of his seven books, Islands to Windward (1948), which introduced the charms of Caribbean sailing to Americans and fueled the enthusiasm that produced the first charter fleets.

    UNITED STATES PERFORMANCE HANDICAP RACING FLEET LOW, HIGH, AVERAGE AND MEDIAN PERFORMANCE HANDICAPS for the years 2005 through 2011 IMPORTANT NOTE The following pages lists base performance handicaps (BHCPs) and low, high, average, and median performance handicaps reported by US PHRF Fleets for well over 4100 boat classes or types displayed in Adobe Acrobat portable document file format. Use Adobe Acrobat’s ‘FIND” feature, <CTRL-F>, to display specific information in this list for each class. Class names conform to US PHRF designations. The information for this list was culled from data sources used to prepare the “History of US PHRF Affiliated Fleet Handicaps for 2011”. This reference book, published annually by the UNITED STATES SAILING ASSOCIATION, is often referred to as the “Red, White, & Blue book of PHRF Handicaps”. The publication lists base handicaps in seconds per mile by Class, number of actively handicapped boats by Fleet, date of last reported entry and other useful information collected over the years from more than 60 reporting PHRF Fleets throughout North America. The reference is divided into three sections, Introduction, Monohull Base Handicaps, and Multihull Base Handicaps. Assumptions underlying determination of PHRF Base Handicaps are explicitly listed in the Introduction section. The reference is available on-line to US SAILING member PHRF fleets and the US SAILING general membership. A current membership ID and password are required to login and obtain access at: http://offshore.ussailing.org/PHRF/2011_PHRF_Handicaps_Book.htm . Precautions: Reported handicaps base handicaps are for production boats only. One-off custom designs are not included. A base handicap does not include fleet adjustments for variances in the sail plan and other modifications to designed hull form and rig that determine the actual handicap used to score a race.
