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 sailing to come up with some very functional and improved fittings and rigging techniques. For Instance— Special Hound fittings. No Super taper, considerably Special new spreaders.

ELMS SAILS FOR 1971 (The Fastest Yet) The winter regattas of Nassau, Miami and Clearwater have always been a testing ground for sail models the sailmakers hope to sell that year. All of the larger Snipe sailmakers or their agents are there, and the competition is fierce. This year we proved that there are no faster Snipe A sails made than ours. In the 17 races sailed the win ning Snipe used Elms Sails in scoring 10 firsts, 4 seconds and completing the series with 3, 5, and 9 for 17 races in all. Our new all purpose sails were used in all but three races. It proved fast in both heavy and light air, which means that you can get one set and cover almost every condition. You will also be able to race in lake com petition as well as open sea. In 1971 if you want full value for your $185.00 get the new, No. 1 Model, you will notice the improvement immediately.

Thus it was with Charlie Morgan when he tried out his new No. 19387, with the selfbailing cockpit, for the first lime. It was hot inSarasota for the Labor Day Regatta and the first race was light and shifty. Charlie decided to cool off a liltle between races by getting down to bare essentials. The second race squall that wiped out the fleet was sudden and vicious. While the boat is self-rescuing, the pants were not and went that-a-way through the holes in the transom. Charlie won the regatta, though, by a bare quarter of a point over BruceColyer. Francis Seavy was third. The presidency of Morgan Yacht Corporation, building his Heritage for the America's Cup trials, ocean racing in the SORC, racing Stars locally and abroad, have all kept Charlie out of Snipe competition for several years. But he isback now, so watch out Halloween, Midwinters, District IV, (Olympics?). Here comes Charlie! WINNING SAILS by LEVINSON SAILS PHONE 813-446-2695 i \ 900 N. OSCEOLA AVE. CLEARWATER.

    JÜRI AT THE FINN GOLD CUP - TALLINN 2013 - PHOTO VASILIY KRAVCHENKO Jüri Šaraškin – Grand Old Man of Estonian sailing „You can’t change the world, but you can change yourselF!“ This is what Jüri used to say and this was the first thing Finn superlegend August „Gus“ Miller remembered when talking about him. However, Jüri Šaraškin has made a big diFFerence, especially in sailing. Kersti Kaljulaid, President oF the Republic oF Estonia, decorated 112 people this year, marking the 101st anniversary oF Estonian independence. Jüri was a recipient oF the Order oF the White Star, 5th Class For his contribution to Estonian sailing. Article about Jüri was made in February 2019 by Piret Salmistu for Estonian Maritime Magazine PAAT Childhood in Pärnu Jüri was born in Pärnu on the 21st of September 1938. This is where he went to school and fell in love with the sea. Jüri’s uncle Anatoli Jansen was a vet but a huge fan of the sea and he gave Jüri a big toy yacht. They often went out on the sea together with his passionate seafarer friend Apolloni Tšernov who renovated old ships as a hobby. Jüri still talks about the trips the three of them took on Irida with great nostalgia and treasures Irida’s compass he salvaged when the ship was dismantled. JÜRI WITH HIS TOY YACHT – PHOTO: PRIVATE COLLECTION His first time on a yacht was quite random when he was in fifth grade. “We must have been good students, because our sports teacher took me and my classmate to Pärnu Yacht Club one day,” recalls Jüri.
