It is proven — having been used to win the world championship along with the U.S. Nationals. If you are replacing your old mast or getting a new boat, make sure it is with a Cobra. Why? Because— This mast is an improvement of the aluminum masts in use on Snipes today. The section is not unlike the other popular makes — but we have used our experience of Snipe to come up with some very functional and improved fittings and rigging techniques.

Collections have been good, since we continue to gain new members and our somewhat fascistic approach to gathering the money in has had the desired effect. The approach, of course, is very simple. We have a mas ter sheet posted on the bulletin board at the waterfront, on which results are posted immediately after each race. Each boat has a separate line. Three columns preceed the column for the first race — one each for (a) payment of dues; (b) weighing of hull; (c) measurement of sails. Unless the appro priate officer lias checked off compliance with each of these three requirements, no credit is given for that boat's partici pation in any race. The rule has been enforced in several instances, so far, including a case in which the boat that won the first race of the season was summarily ejected from the list for non-payment of dues. As might be anticipated, this has had a very healthy effect upon overall compliance with the class requirements. " Paul Festersen Iowa-Nebraska Fleet 309. 1969 CHAMPIONSHIPS

JULY 1970 SAILAWAY ABILITY This new feature now supposedly provided by the added buoy ancy required on all new Snipes has many advantages—and some problems. I'm sure Howie Richards gave the matter quite a bit of thought as he hung onto his nearly submerged BOB WLLLIAMS-a true lake champion wood hull out in Biscayne Bay several miles away from the Coconut Grove Sailing Club in March. The local people who 19C9 LAKE CHAMPIONSHIPS TULSA l.st Ted Wells had to spend a lot of time getting him back to shore probably HORNBLOWEK - Denver 1st Herb Herbert gave the matter some thought, too. There was just no way ROCKY MOUNTAIN - Denver 1st Bob Williams of getting the water out, out in the bay. OMAHA ( partial) 1st Ted WeUs OMAHA 2nd Bob Williams CSSA FROSTBITE 1st Bob Williams In our local fleet we have had some recent experience along CSSA FROSTBITE 2nd C. S. Reusch these lines—one occasion unfortunately involving me in wliat CSSA FROSTBITE l.st 4 years running LOTAWANA - Ks. City 1st C. a Reusch I hope turns out to be my annual capsize. Last year's cap LOTAWANA - Ks, City 3rd Bob Williams size was on the west coast, where I made the mistake of DISTRICT 2 3rd Bob Williams getting on the centerboarcl to help my crew right the boat. WICHITA FLEET 1st Bob Williams This procedure rights the boat momentarily—unfortunately OTHER CHAMPIONSHIPS it keeps going until it is upside down. NATIONALS Luder 21 Is seven places CSSA SPRING - Tulsa L21 Is . 2nd - 3rd CSSA FALL Luder 21 Is As a result of that experience, I have developed a procedure which, with a few refinements as a result of recent exper CAMERON RACING SAILS ience, works well. First—tie in the board limiting its move Developed for the Lake Sailor ment as much as you feel you can without losing too much 717 east i6t~ phcr.c 316-221-1774 performance. Tie the painter or another line, preferably at WINFIELD. KANSAS 67156 316-221-3175 least 5, 16" diameter and ten feet long, to the aft end of the centerboard trunk. As the boat goes over, the crew goes over the high side and the skipper goes into the water on the low side, shoving the centerboard all the way out if it isn't already there, and tossing to the crew the line from the cent Nl)W BUILDING erboard trunk, unless the crew has been able to take it with him as he bails out. The skipper also uncleats both sheets, gets all the way into the water even with the aft end of the cockpit, while the crew stands on the very bottom of the cent erboard, hanging onto the line from the trunk. As the boat Fl NER &FASTER comes up, he moves aft to facilitate drainage of water through the transom holes (if the boat has them). The procedure worked fine—(although it was anything but self-rescuing)— after we fished out a large plastic sack which had been under the after deck until it plastered itself over the drain holes, RJICING SNIPES effectively plugging them. We climbed back in and the suct ion bailer handled the rest of the water promptly. Another local episode involved a fairly old boat with side tanks. This boat apparently leaked some at the joint between the deck and the hull (most fiberglass boats do) and the owner had removed the handhole covers in the tanks. The initial capsize was followed by a comedy of errors involving several more capsizes caused by all sheets still being cleated, while the boat sank steadily lower in the water. The boat had been bought used; there were rumors that it had been damaged and \Hllr-l tliat it did not have adequate styrofoam in it: and when it was finally towed in, the bow was the only part of it out of the water and only barely so at that. It now lias the tanks sealed and lots of styrofoam added. If this hadn't happened about CALL RACING CRAFT fifty feet from the Club docks, it could have been serious. Post Office Box No. 50013 The moral of these stories is that there is no such tiling as a self-rescuing boat, and that the effectiveness of any type Indianapolis, Ind. 46250 of sailaway capability is greatly influenced by teclinique and Telephone 317-849-9377, procedures used by the occupants, and the care and main tenance of the boat, or lack thereof.
