  • Racing Association Had Awarded the International Regatta in 1907 to Seattle, So the Contest for the Alexandra Cup Was Held There Early in July
    CHAPTER 5 Early International Races SAIL AND POWER As fae as the kecords go, the first international race in which a Vancouver yacht took part was in Bellingham Bay, at Fairhaven, on July 4th, 1891. The local contender was the Siren, a five-ton cutter, 30 feet overall, with 1200 square feet of sail area. She was specifically designed and built by Capt. Billy Watts, founder of Vancouver Shipyard, to outrace all comers. She had her workout in Burrard Inlet on Dominion Day 1891, when Watts outsailed Andy Linton's famous speed queen May, which was skippered by the old maestro, Walter Graveley. So Watts sailed to Bellingham with a crew consisting of J. W. McFie, Dr. Bob Mathison, D. S. McKenzie, Dr. C. H. Gatewood and Jim McKay. At Fairhaven he picked up a local man who knew the tides. The six competing boats included the Ariadne of Herreshoff design, considered the queen of Puget Sound waters. The race started at 10 a.m., with a nice westerly breeze of about ten knots. The first leg, six miles, was sailed with a started sheet. Siren jockeyed herself into the windward berth and boomed off with mainsail, two jibs and a club topsail. "After getting in the lead in the first half mile," Captain Watts recalled many years after, "the lug of the mast band at the shrouds pulled out, so I took in the kites. J. W. McFie, carrying a marlinspike and a piece of new one inch manila, went up that shroud like a cat and had the shroud fastened in less than five minutes.

  • L'attività Del CSTN Non Si Ferma Mai!
    7 7 L’attività del CSTN non si ferma mai! Il 28 maggio abbiamo partecipato ad Amalfi, nella splendida cornice dell’Antico Arsenale della Repubblica marinara, ad una interessante giornata di studio su musei, biblioteche e centri studi a vario titolo legati alla risorsa mare anche in ambito culturale. Venerdì 24 maggio in rappresentanza della Presidenza Nazionale, hanno visitato il “Centro Studi” l’Amm. Pietro Fabrizi (Vice Presidente Nazionale) e l’Amm. Paolo Bembo (Direttore della Rivista LNI e membro del Comitato Scientifico del CSTN). I graditi ospiti, accolti dal Direttore del CSTN Professoressa Rosaria Rosini e dai collaboratori presenti, alla fine della visita si sono congratulati per le attività svolte e per l’importanza della struttura. Grazie ancora una volta alla Sezione di Napoli e al suo fattivo Presidente Vaglieco, il CSTN è stato dotato di una nuova e capiente scaffalatura e di una nuova fotocopiatrice. “Corsaro II” in Oceano Pacifico MASSIMO MINERVINI (Prima parte) LA MARINA E LA VELA La Marina Militare Italiana, come le principali marine di altre nazioni, ha sempre dato importanza alla vela per la preparazione marinaresca dei propri ufficiali. La vela, come il nuoto e la voga sono, infatti, da sempre, attività sportive obbligatorie per tutti gli allievi in Accademia e la prima crociera di addestramento, al termine del primo anno di studi, si svolge sulla nave a vela Amerigo Vespucci. Preparazione marinaresca necessaria anche se, attualmente, le navi e le unità militari in particolare, hanno raggiunto una complessità tale da rendere necessarie conoscenze tecniche approfondite.
