Newsletter November / December 2005
Newsletter November / December 2005 United Buddy Bears in Seoul Fotomontage At the beginning of October, the circle of United Buddy Bears was opened in Seoul (Korea) in the presence of many VIPs from the world of politics, business, arts and culture. In his speech, the Ambassador of the Federal Republic of Germany in Korea, Michael Geier, emphasised the special symbolic power of the bear for Korea, as it represents the first mother in the Korean myth of the Creation. The Mayor of Berlin, Klaus Wowereit, sent a video message from the once divided city of Berlin to the guests at the opening ceremony: “15 years ago, the people of Germany were able to experience the joy of the peaceful reunification of our country. Today, we would wholeheartedly like to wish the people of Korea that they will also overcome the division in the not too distant future.“ It is for that reason that the 125 United Buddy Bears are promoting a peaceful coexistence at the Olympic Park on Peace Square until 9th November (the day when the Berlin Wall opened). South- and North Korea Hand in Hand Following long negotiations with the North Korean embassy in Berlin, the Buddy Bär Berlin GmbH was able to invite two renowned North Korean artists (see above) – with the kind support of Lufthansa – to Berlin. The bear was belatedly flown to Seoul, receiving a lot of attention as the sensational addition to the exhibition. On this occasion, the German Ambassador Michael Geier gave another speech on site, praising the great symbolism of the exhibition for the divided Korea. -
'Sprats and Minnows'
‘SPRATS AND M INNOWS’ SOME S & S SMALL FRY BY PATRICK MATTHIESEN Last year I touched on the ‘pocket cruiser-racer’ of approximately 30ft LOA which many had considered to be the smallest practicable size for minimal comfort and safety, particularly with the vastly more Spartan early designs. Yet, as has often been pointed out in the past, there is an equation which simply does not work and it is this: Enjoyment + HCF 1 = LOA + Beam + SA x (£+$+E). In fact there are many able mathematicians who would argue the converse and that is that maximum enjoyment experienced when sailing is the LCD 2 of LOA ÷ Cost. Thus, wise sailors have long known that they are faster onto the water, spend less time commissioning and therefore enjoy more sailing closer to the water if their boats are small. The headaches are lessened, equipment costs a fraction of that for larger vessels and most jobs can be executed on a ‘do it yourself’ basis 3 Manhasset Bay O.D. Construction plan Copyright S&S Inc. The very first S & S design #1, The Manhasset Bay O.D. falls into this category. The contract was arranged by Drake Sparkman, Olin and Rod’s future broker partner (the partnership was not formed till the following year) at the Larchmont Y.C. The boat is a daysailor/racer rather than a cruiser, but she was the first of the breed and S & S never lost sight of the impecunious family man who, by buying a pedigree product, might later move on to bigger, and some would say better, things. -

Don Boyko's Bio
Don Boyko's Bio Here is a little bit about myself. I‘ve been involved in sailing for a good portion my adult life, but have always been interested in sailing for as long as I can remember. I remember being fascinated watching the sailboats passing by my Grandparents home on the river north of Detroit, and I guess the seed was planted. Growing up I spent most of me weekends, and all of my summer vacations with my Grandparents. I had an older cousin that bought a 14’ dinghy, and he would take me sailing, then someone gave a buddy of mine an old wooden Lightning and we soon learned to always sail upstream so when the wind died, we wouldn’t have to paddle against the current to get home. Once my wife, and I, got our careers established and we had a few extra bucks, we purchased our first sailboat, a 13’ Chrysler Pirateer. The family had a lot of good times learning how to sail, but soon out grew the Pirateer, and slowly traded our way up to our first C-22. Our first C-22 was a 1980 model, and it opened new adventures for the family. One year I was working in St Louis while the family was back in Kansas City. I discovered the Alton Pool of the Mississippi River north of St Louis and after finding a slip at one of the yacht clubs, I decided to move the boat to St Louis and live on the boat during the week while I was on my assignment.
