  • Rigging Tips by Pete Thorn
    Rigging Tips By Pete Thorn (T-1427) One day while crewing for ace Lightning skipper Tom Hudgns, I saw on his boat a safety device that really seemed to make a lot of sense: a down and dirty centerboard preventer. This device could probably be used on many small centerboard sailboats, but most especially the Tanzer 16! Sailors who have never fully capsized (otherwise known as "turning turtle") probably won't have much appreciation for centerboard preventers. (For a more complete description of capsizes, refer to Dave Permar's article in this manual.) The elegant simplicity and incomparable value of this inexpensive bit of rigging is best appreciated by the "fully capsized" sailor sitting on the bottom of his turtled boat, contemplating the thin flat plate centerboard held securely by gravity beyond the sailor's grasp. A centerboard preventer will "prevent" the board from sliding all the way back into the slot so you can grab it, pull it out to climb on and right the boat. Sailors of the most humble mechanical ability can easily install in this elegant device. The Lightning style preventer (found on Tom Hudgens Lightning and brilliantly copied by the author) costs less than $5 and takes less than 5 minutes to install. Just get a piece of 1/4" line about two feet long and a drill to drill two holes through the centerboard trunk cap suitable to pass the line through. The holes should be drilled between the 1st and 2nd forward screw pairs holding the teak wood cap on the trunk. Tie a knot in one end and reeve the line up through the bottom of one hole, around the forward end of the centerboard and down in the other hole.

  • 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.
