Winds stayed in the 12 MPH range with typical Atlanta Yacht Club gusts for pretty much all of Saturday and Sunday, creating some great conditions for the Juniors, Gold and Blue fleets. The lake was, shall we say, depth challenged as it can be this time of year. But that was a minor nuisance because about the only gasoline burning boats on the lake were the committee, rescue, mark, and spectator boats. Friday started off with Karl Andersen’s annual golf tournament. Ten players competed for the coveted green PFD. Pem Williams, Christa Ross and Steve Ross edged out the other teams to take top honors.

Midge Verplank reminisces about Chuck Harrett I first met Chuck in 1947 when he took some Spring Lake sailors into his parent's home in Grand Rapids. We were there to participate in the Grand Rapids-Spring lake Yacht Clubs inter club regatta. He was promoting sailing and establishing friendships as a teenager, and he never stopped doing it during his whole life. We competed head to head for several years, tough competition on the water, but always a renewal of the friendship after the race. When I was Commodore of the Western Michigan Yachting Association in 1967 Chuck was selected by the Grand Rapids Yacht Club to represent them on the board of directors.

  • 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.

The MC Southwest Regional Championship and steak dinner is in two weeks pre register @ mcscow.org to sail or RSVP on our website for dinner. The Windycup and Club Meeting BBQ is a month away. The Sail for Steve regatta was a great success! Everything came together for a perfect afternoon of sailing. We did not reach Steve’s hopes of having 50 boats out, there was close to 40. A superb team made it possible for Steve to ride on the committee boat during the regatta, Steve was extremely happy about getting on the water! I am certain we can get 60 boats out there next year! Thank You to Paul Foerster, all the Sailors, Volunteers and Donors for making this event come together and raise over $10k for APSO. We have plenty of nice sailing days left until old man winter comes down, don’t sleep on it. Cheers! Drew Ziegler Charity Regatta Review The 2018 “Sail for Steve” Charity Regatta is history and again was a booming success.
