    Willow Bank Yacht Club has been a fixture on the Cazenovia Lake shoreline since 1949. Originally formed as a sailing club, over the years it has become a summer home to many Cazenovia and surrounding area families. Willow Bank provides its members with outstanding lake frontage and views, docks, private boat launch, picnic area, beach, swimming area, swimming lessons, sailing lessons, children’s programming, Galley take-out restaurant and a lively social program. The adult sailing program at Willow Bank is one of the most active in Central New York. Active racing fleets include: Finn, Flying Dutchman, Laser, Lightning and Sunfish. Each of these fleets host a regatta over the summer and fleet members will often travel to other area clubs for regattas as well. Formal club point races are held on Sundays. These are races to determine a club champion in each fleet. This format provides for a fun competition within the fleets. On Saturdays, the club offers Free-for-All races which allow members to go out and get some experience racing in any class of sailboat. Adults also have sailing opportunities during the week with our Women of Willow Bank fleet sailing and socializing on Wednesday evenings and, on Thursday evenings, we now have an informal sailing and social program for all members. In addition, we offer group adult lessons and private lessons for anyone looking to learn how to sail. For our youngest members we have a great sand beach and a lifeguarded swimming area which allows hours of summer fun! Swimming lessons, sailing lessons, and Junior Fleet racing, round out our youth programs.

  • 2019 One Design Classes and Sailor Survey
    2019 One Design Classes and Sailor Survey [email protected] One Design Classes and Sailor Survey One Design sailing is a critical and fundamental part of our sport. In late October 2019, US Sailing put together a survey for One Design class associations and sailors to see how we can better serve this important constituency. The survey was sent via email, as a link placed on our website and through other USSA Social media channels. The survey was sent to our US Sailing members, class associations and organizations, and made available to any constituent that noted One-Design sailing in their profile. Some interesting observations: • Answers are based on respondents’ perception of or actual experience with US Sailing. • 623 unique comments were received from survey respondents and grouped into “Response Types” for sorting purposes • When reviewing data, please note that “OTHER” Comments are as equally important as those called out in a specific area, like Insurance, Administration, etc. • The majority of respondents are currently or have been members of US Sailing for more than 5 years, and many sail in multiple One-Design classes • About 1/5 of the OD respondents serve(d) as an officer of their primary OD class; 80% were owner/drivers of their primary OD class; and more than 60% were members of their primary OD class association. • Respondents to the survey were most highly concentrated on the East and West coasts, followed by the Mid- West and Texas – though we did have representation from 42 states, plus Puerto Rico and Canada. • Most respondents were male.

BARNES for the NATIONAL SAILING HALL of FAME The Executive Board of the International Lightning Class Association has approved a nomination to the National Sailing Hall of Fame for our founding father, John S. Barnes. Cited as an early promoter of one-design sailboat racing and founder of the Lightning Class, he is responsible for the establishment of the first high- volume production manufacturing company of one-design racing sailboats. Barnes is also recognized for the development and patenting of a vacuum bag molding process for sailboat production. Barnes has joined the queue, along with Tom Allen, Ed Adams, Bob Bavier, Jim Carson, Dave Dellenbaugh, Skip Etchells, Greg Fisher, Marty O’Meara, and Brad and Ken Reed, to join the fifteen Lightning Class members already inducted into the National Sailing Hall of Fame.

My subjects were presented within the broad scope of the forum, with emphasis naturally given to surge protection. Delivering this lecture at NBS marked a turning point in my career because it catalyzed the establishment of a program aimed at surge protection and EMI control which I joined in 1985, allowing me to continue my work in this area within the supporting environment of NBS (soon to become NIST) until my retirement in 2003. Such support for 18 years of original research and dissemination of results via contributions to IEEE, IEC, and UIE standards is gratefully acknowledged.

    204 Play – February 2020 Newsletter Commodore’s Corner Greetings to all. Warm wishes to all Hobie Sailors in Central New York. Actually, all this warmth might be overdoing it. This is not the regular winter weather we are used to. Skiers are getting by, and plow operators are struggling to get the snow they need. Meanwhile, we Hobie sailors are saying, “Just a couple degrees warmer and we can go sailing on Oneida!!” Before sailing on water, we need to come together and get a great CNY Boat Show going. Darcie of South Bay Sails and Kayaks has a signup doc on Facebook for everyone to sign up. The signup was first up on Sat. 2/1. As of Feb 3, there was one name. Our website will direct you to the same doc as on Facebook. Rob and Darcie count on support and we should not let them down. Sign up today! Looking at our calendar, we have the 44th Madcatter just around the corner in May. This is our premier event. We expect a big turnout of competitors, lots of fun, and great weather. (Well, two out of three ain’t bad.) A signup sheet for committees will be available at the February meeting. I am counting on those who helped last year to do the same this year. How you help is not in stone, changes are fine, but we need your support. Be sure to be a part of the experience! In addition to Madcatter, there are more regattas in the Division area: Oswego, Saratoga, and Hooper’s Harbor.

  • Does the Internet Reduce Corruption? Evidence from U.S. States and Across Countries
    Does the Internet Reduce Corruption? Evidence from U.S. States and across Countries Thomas Barnebeck Andersen, Jeanet Bentzen, Carl-Johan Dalgaard, and Pablo Selaya We test the hypothesis that the Internet is a useful technology for controlling corruption. In order to do so, we develop a novel identification strategy for Internet diffusion. Power disruptions damage digital equipment, which increases the user cost of IT capital, and thus lowers the speed of Internet diffusion. A natural phenomenon causing power disruptions is lightning activity, which makes lightning a viable instru- ment for Internet diffusion. Using ground-based lightning detection censors as well as global satellite data, we construct lightning density data for the contiguous U.S. states and a large cross section of countries. Empirically, lightning density is a strong instru- ment for Internet diffusion and our IV estimates suggest that the emergence of the Internet has served to reduce the extent of corruption across U.S. states and across the world. JEL Classification codes: K4, O1, H0 Corruption is commonly perceived to be a major stumbling block on the road to prosperity. Aside from retarding growth (Mauro 1995), corruption entails fiscal leakage, which reduces the ability of poor countries to supply essential Thomas Barnebeck Andersen (corresponding author) is professor at the Department of Business and Economics, University of Southern Denmark, Campusvej 55, DK-5230 Odense M.
