Treat other persons and their property as you know they should be treated, and as you wish them to treat you and your property. 2. Regard the racing rules as agreements, the spirit and letter of which you should not evade or break. 3. Be gracious in victory and defeat. 4. Be cooperative and respectful.

  • What's So Great About Sailing the Gorge?
    What’s So Great About Sailing the Gorge? Bill Symes & Jonathan McKee Seattle native Jonathan McKee was one of the early pioneers of dinghy sailing in the Gorge. His accomplishments include two Olympic medals (Flying Dutchman gold in 1984, and 49er bronze in 2000), seven world championships in various classes, and two Americas Cup challenges. CGRA’s Bill Symes caught up with Jonathan to find out why he likes sailing in the Gorge. What makes the Gorge a special place to sail? It is really one of the legendary venues of the world. But it’s not really in the classic model because the local sailing community created it from scratch. It’s a pretty unique situation; it still has that home-grown feel to it, sort of a low key aspect which is different from sailing in San Francisco or someplace like that. It’s all about having a good time and enjoying the beautiful place that it is. But at the same time, there is consistently a very high level of race management. So even though the vibe is pretty relaxed, that doesn’t mean we don’t have really great racing. The focus is on the sailing. And, of course, getting better at sailing in stronger winds! That’s one thing the Gorge is uniquely suited for. How does this compare to other heavy air venues? It’s a low risk way to get better at strong wind sailing. A lot of the windy places are either not windy all the time or so windy that they’re really intimidating.

  • Guide to Sailing Gear Purchasing Sailing Gear Can Be Confusing and Brings up a Lot of Questions
    Guide to Sailing Gear Purchasing Sailing Gear can be confusing and brings up a lot of questions. The ones we hear the most often are ● What do I need to buy? ● Where can I buy it? Is it at west marine? ● This is very expensive, can I find it somewhere cheaper? ● My sailor lost this thing, do they really need it? We coaches got together and put this general guide to sailing gear to hopefully help all of you answer these very important questions. The first and most important thing is Sailing is a sport where you are at the mercy of the elements and the proper equipment and clothing make a world of difference in enjoying your time out on the water, or in certain cases, being able to survive it! How to choose Sailing Gear In order to choose the proper sailing gear what you need to understand are two main points – Where in the world are you, and what kind of sailing are you doing? This will dictate what kind of gear you will be getting into and from there what kind of budget you should be looking at. CGSC is situated in (sometimes) sunny Miami at the end of the Florida peninsula, sitting west of the Atlantic and right on Biscayne Bay. The average water temperature ranges from 71 degrees in February to 86 degrees in August. Average air temperatures vary between 68 and 85 degrees. Obviously this is not the maximum or minimum temperatures but average for the month and will give a good baseline to understand the climate of South Florida.

  • A Visual Analysis Framework for Dinghy Sailing: Towards Leveraging Recorded Training Sessions
    MASTER THESIS A visual analysis framework for dinghy sailing: Towards leveraging recorded training sessions This thesis is submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Computer Science by Gijs Martinus Wilhelmus REICHERT born in Alkmaar, the Netherlands iii Abstract A visual analysis framework for dinghy sailing: Towards leveraging recorded training sessions by Gijs Martinus Wilhelmus REICHERT Nowadays video plays an important role in the coaching of athletes across many dif- ferent sports. To make more use of the advantages videos can provide for coaching, the Dutch Sailing team is shifting from manually recording short videos towards continuously recording training sessions. This new recording approach provides opportunities and creates challenges at the same time. In this thesis we present a pipeline to address the problems with the stability of the recording and the first steps towards a Visual Analysis Framework, which leverages the available video data. New information is extracted from the video recordings by detecting and tracking the boat and sailors. Moreover, we semi-automatically highlight interest- ing intervals in time of a recorded training session. These are the first steps towards an extensive Visual Analysis Framework which has the potential to make the anal- ysis of the videos easier and provide the coaches with tools to improve the analysis of the performance of the sailors.

  • APPENDIX 1 Righting the Chichester Scow After Capsizing
    Flight Marine Limited - 1 - Chichester Scow APPENDIX 1 Righting the Chichester Scow after capsizing. Sooner or later most people experience a capsize. It's usually caused by an accidental gybe or by getting some part of the boat tangled with an obstruction. Here are a few tips that should enable righting of the Chichester Scow without external assistance. In a capsize the Chichester Scow initially remains in a 90 degree position. The buoyancy of the lug and mast sometimes keeps it in this attitude. It may have been possible to simply climb down from the windward side to stand on the centreboard and right the scow very quickly. However, it is also possible that the weight of the crew clinging to the hull will turn the scow to a fully inverted attitude. The centreboard will then fall back into it's case and another righting method must be employed. The scow floats quite high when inverted, so it is fairly easy to reach under the foredeck and find the painter, which should have it's bitter end tied through the foredeck cleat. Gather up the loose end of the painter and move it aft leading it inside one of the shrouds. Then throw the loose end over the inverted hull. Move round to the other side and grab the painter. Now push down on the underside of the gunwhale whilst pulling the other side up with the painter. Flight Marine Limited - 2 - Chichester Scow This starts the righting process. The gunwhale on the crew's side can be immersed further if the crew puts his/her feet on the underside of the gunwhale whilst maintaining tension on the painter.
