  • 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.

    Comité International du Vaurien Comité International du Vaurien 2011 CIV Winter Meeting Paris, Sunday the 4th of December 2011 Minutes of Meeting The Meeting opens at 10:00. List of presents and e- mail addresses: see-attached sheets. Agenda: see appended sheet 1 Opening, President’s Communication The President welcomes the presents and the List of Presents is circulated: all present sign and check the e-mail addresses. Spain sent an email apologizing for not being present. Elections The President reminds that the 2012 Winter Meeting will involve elections for the renewal of many functions, and invite the CIV members to consider and propose new administrators. Also the President will have to be elected. Gianpiero Saggini announces his wish of not to being re-elected. Addresses The Communication with the associations is difficult for lack of updated e-mails. Each ASV must notify to the President Office's e-mail addresses of at least 2 persons (normally the President and Secretary), trogether with telephone and fax(optional) numbers, so that periodical checks for updated addresses can be done. 2 Minutes of Lembruch summer meeting The minutes are approved unanimously. 3 Finance – Treasurer's Accounts - Promotion The Treasurer reads the report on the financial year 2010. The synthesis of accounts sheet: Income € 1443, 00 Expenses € 1950, 69 Fortune € 905, 79 Total Balance = € 498, 10 Outstanding (2010- 2011) € 1800, 00 The Treasurer stresses the fact that the total balance is positive but could be better because a few country members such as The Netherlands, France and Spain didn’t pay the fee for 2011 nor 2010.

  • 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.
