  • 2021 MELGES MC ZENDA UNIVERSITY Lake Eustis Sailing Club · Eustis, Florida March 9-10, 2021
    2021 MELGES MC ZENDA UNIVERSITY Lake Eustis Sailing Club · Eustis, Florida March 9-10, 2021 Step into the Zenda University (ZU) course, get tuned up and start your 2021 MC Scow campaign off right! The Melges instructors have been developing new ways to teach you how to go fast. PURPOSE / MISSION To further progress and promote MC Scow racing for those who are eager to learn and take in professional knowledge within a casual, fun atmosphere, ultimately making individuals better sailors by encouraging the enjoyment of the sport of sailing to the fullest. “Zenda University (ZU) was a great experience for a new skipper like me. I had crewed for other boats in a prior life but had not skippered many races until last year. ZU was what I needed to get more competitive and comfortable on the racecourse. Having Andy and Jim instruct during actual races was invaluable. They helped me get my rigging tuned and helped me with sail trim so my boat speed was competitive. We practiced a lot of crowded starts and mark roundings so the chaos was like a regatta. I went home with a list of things to practice and how to practice them. That two days has given me more confidence in my decision-making abilities on the racecourse. There were many times during the races that I was contemplating a tactical decision but wasn't sure if I was right or not. Having Andy tell me to do something that I was already thinking was a huge boost to my confidence. After ZU, I am now racing with my home fleet instead of chasing them from a leg behind.

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.

  • 2019 Commodore, Western Michigan Yachting Association
    2 A Message From the Commodore 90th Annual WMYA Regatta Welcome WMYA Sailors! Thank you for joining us at the White Lake Yacht Club for another great Western Michigan Yachting Association Championship Regatta. My first WMYA regatta was 22 summers ago on Torch Lake racing my E scow with Jack Rillema and Jamie Duncan. I still remember how amazing it was to see all the different classes and age groups sailing together. We would race the E and then watch the other fleets and kids race. Some sailors would even race in multiple fleets! There was great competition and new friendships in the making. Then after all that we would hang out with family and friends. I’ll never forget that first year camping with the wives and kids (thank you Karolyn and Kim) and how the SLYC camping contingent had so much fun and could stay up so late. I was hooked, what a great regatta! So let’s make some new memories this year at White Lake. Thanks to all the WMYA and WLYC volunteers that make this regatta happen. We apologize in advance for the lack of beach this year but Mother Nature wanted to test our creativity. If you need anything just ask, and we will be happy to help out. So let’s have some more fun, be safe, and enjoy this week sailing at the Westerns! Sincerely, Don Nelson 2019 Commodore, Western Michigan Yachting Association 90th Annual WMYA Regatta 3 HaveHave aa GreatGreat Regatta!Regatta! Photo Credit: Sean Fidler Robert P. Terry, D.D.S.
