In the Bronze Fleet emphasis is on fun. The objective of this regatta is to offer younger and less experienced sailors the opportunity to sail and participate at the O’pen Skiff events without feeling the need or burden to sail in the more competitive and arduous Gold and Silver Fleets. 2. Sailing will be a mixture of adventure sailing, racing, freestyle and any other form of sailing that the organizers deem fit. 3. Sailors will benefit from a high level of coaching throughout the event. 4. Sailors entering the Bronze Fleet should be of a beginning level of sailing 5. Bronze Fleet racing is intended to be run dependent on weather forecasts and prevailing winds. Should the conditions be such that racing is an option this will be conducted on a separate course. 6. The Bronze Fleet will consist of a variety of activities, led by appropriately qualified activity leaders/rules advisors (in an approximate ratio of 1:10 on the water). These activities may include both, shore and on-water based skills, coaching and on-water games. 7. Parents, guardians and friends are encouraged to come and spectate but please refrain from coaching/communicating with sailors and allow the qualified coaches to deal with any issues/circumstances that arise. Silver Fleet Guidelines 1. Whether a sailor is to sail in the Silver or Gold fleet at a regatta can be a difficult decision for parents. Here are some guidelines for when entering such an event.

  • The International Flying Dutchman Class Book
    THE INTERNATIONAL FLYING DUTCHMAN CLASS BOOK www.sailfd.org 1 2 Preface and acknowledgements for the “FLYING DUTCHMAN CLASS BOOK” by Alberto Barenghi, IFDCO President The Class Book is a basic and elegant instrument to show and testify the FD history, the Class life and all the people who have contributed to the development and the promotion of the “ultimate sailing dinghy”. Its contents show the development, charm and beauty of FD sailing; with a review of events, trophies, results and the role past champions . Included are the IFDCO Foundation Rules and its byelaws which describe how the structure of the Class operate . Moreover, 2002 was the 50th Anniversary of the FD birth: 50 years of technical deve- lopment, success and fame all over the world and of Class life is a particular event. This new edition of the Class Book is a good chance to celebrate the jubilee, to represent the FD evolution and the future prospects in the third millennium. The Class Book intends to charm and induce us to know and to be involved in the Class life. Please, let me assent to remember and to express my admiration for Conrad Gulcher: if we sail, love FD and enjoyed for more than 50 years, it is because Conrad conceived such a wonderful dinghy and realized his dream, launching FD in 1952. Conrad, looked to the future with an excellent far-sightedness, conceived a “high-perfor- mance dinghy”, which still represents a model of technologic development, fashionable 3 water-line, low minimum hull weight and performance . Conrad ‘s approach to a continuing development of FD, with regard to materials, fitting and rigging evolution, was basic for the FD success.

  • 420 Tuning Hints
    420 Tuning suggestions College of Charleston 2012 Boat Setup on land: 1) Before sailing check that your shroud pin/ring dings are taped and secure, your tiller extension universal is solid, there’s no wiggle in your pintles and your hiking straps knots secure. 2) Tie your main halyard to the head of your main with a figure eight through the headboard grommet and then a half hitch back around the halyard. (see picture) 3) Hoist your jib and tension the rig tightly by placing a foot on the bow and pulling on the head stay while your team mate tensions the jib halyard. Don’t be afraid to over tension at this point as you’ll double check and most likely reset the tension once on the water. It’s easier to loosen once sailing than to tighten it! 4) Hoist your main and tension the halyard tightly. Use the 2:1 purchase to sock it up tight to the top of the mast. Again, it’s much easier to set it up tight on the dock than to rehoist once sailing! Set up on the water, before the start: 1) Trim your sails and head upwind. 2) Watch/study your leeward shroud as it is your guide to proper rig tension (through jib halyard tension). 3) Ideally the leeward shroud will just start to slacken to the point a slight wiggle (not more than ½”) is visible when the main is sheeted to maximum trim for the breeze/conditions at that time. Note: The advantage of using the “leeward shroud wiggle” is that you can gauge the amount of tension based on a given condition.
