  • November 2014
    November 2014 Dec 1 BOG Meeting Dec 13 WSC Holiday Party Windycup Club Champion Roger Kerr Crew Bryan Wutzke Commodore’s Report November 2014 Well, this is my first report as Commodore and I have some large shoes to fill. I want to thank Terry for his service to the club and feel a little more comfortable having him as Past Commodore in a nice advi- sory position. I would like to thank IV McNamara (Rear Commodore), Harvey and Marsha Baker (Activities Captains), and Roger Adams (Fleet Captain) for accepting their position on the board. We have an unpleasant duty that needs to be addressed this month. With the increase of about every- thing, we are proposing about a 9% dues increase. Our current lease with the Corp of Engineers having run out quite a long time ago and now just getting updated we are looking at about three times the ex- pense. One of our break-waters is about at its end of functionality and is going to need to be replaced soon. To counter-balance these upcoming needs and just the increase in our day to day needs, we feel that this increase is needed to provide the current status quo. I am one that does not want to spend any more money than I have to, but if you look at what we get for the money that is spent belonging to Windycrest it is quite a deal. I would like to invite any member of Windycrest to our December meeting to voice their opinion on this matter.

  • History of the Beaver Lake Sailing Club
    HISTORY OF THE BEAVER LAKE SAILING CLUB The White River Runs Through It By Tom Jones By all accounts the White River has always been a beautiful river, home to big catfish and lined with walnut and cherry trees. Native Americans, and later homesteaders, lived along its banks enjoying the limestone bluffs, the forested hills and the verdant valleys. In the midst of this beauty, however, there was a frightful downside. For all its natural beauty, the river could turn deadly on occasion. Flooding that endangered property, homesteaders, Native Americans and livestock seems always to have been a recurring threat. As early as 1911, the possibility of building a dam on the upper portion of the White River had been considered. Although nothing was done at the time, federal, state and local governments, being slow to act, the notion of damming the river remained a topic for consideration. Finally, a series of floods in the 1920s and 1930s, especially the Great Flood of 1927, which devastated six southern states, including Arkansas, led Congress and the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers to reconsider the earlier flood control projects. In time, the White River Basin was one of those areas recommended for development. In 1929, the Army Corps of Engineers began a flood-study of the area. And so began the arduous process to secure the authority, the expertise, and the funds to build a series of reservoirs along the White River. The area of the country we are talking about is substantial. The Missouri Department of Conservation provides the best description of the White River Basin, explaining that the area “… originates in northwest Arkansas (AR), southeast of Fayetteville, in the Boston Mountains.

    UNITED STATES PERFORMANCE HANDICAP RACING FLEET LOW, HIGH, AVERAGE AND MEDIAN PERFORMANCE HANDICAPS for the years 2005 through 2011 IMPORTANT NOTE The following pages lists base performance handicaps (BHCPs) and low, high, average, and median performance handicaps reported by US PHRF Fleets for well over 4100 boat classes or types displayed in Adobe Acrobat portable document file format. Use Adobe Acrobat’s ‘FIND” feature, <CTRL-F>, to display specific information in this list for each class. Class names conform to US PHRF designations. The information for this list was culled from data sources used to prepare the “History of US PHRF Affiliated Fleet Handicaps for 2011”. This reference book, published annually by the UNITED STATES SAILING ASSOCIATION, is often referred to as the “Red, White, & Blue book of PHRF Handicaps”. The publication lists base handicaps in seconds per mile by Class, number of actively handicapped boats by Fleet, date of last reported entry and other useful information collected over the years from more than 60 reporting PHRF Fleets throughout North America. The reference is divided into three sections, Introduction, Monohull Base Handicaps, and Multihull Base Handicaps. Assumptions underlying determination of PHRF Base Handicaps are explicitly listed in the Introduction section. The reference is available on-line to US SAILING member PHRF fleets and the US SAILING general membership. A current membership ID and password are required to login and obtain access at: http://offshore.ussailing.org/PHRF/2011_PHRF_Handicaps_Book.htm . Precautions: Reported handicaps base handicaps are for production boats only. One-off custom designs are not included. A base handicap does not include fleet adjustments for variances in the sail plan and other modifications to designed hull form and rig that determine the actual handicap used to score a race.

  • US Sailing Rig Dimensions Database
    ABOUT THIS CRITICAL DIMENSION DATA FILE There are databases that record critical dimensions of production sailboats that handicappers may use to identify yachts that race and to help them determine a sailing number to score competitive events. These databases are associated with empirical or performance handicapping systems worldwide and are generally available from those organizations via internet access. This data file contains dimensions for some, but not all, production boats reported to USPHRF since 1995. These data may be used to support performance handicapping by affiliated USPHRF fleets. There are many more boats in databases that sailmakers and handicappers possess. The USPHRF Technical Subcommittee and the US SAILING Offshore Office have several. This Adobe Acrobat file contains data mostly supplied by USPHRF affiliated fleets, a few manufacturers, naval architects, and others making contributions to database. While this data file is generally helpful, it does contain errors of omission and inaccuracies that are left to users to rectify by sending corrections to USPHRF by way of the data form below. The form also asks for additional information that anticipates the annual fall data collection from USPHRF affiliated fleets. Return this form to the USPHRF Committee c/o US SAILING. How do you access information in this data file of well over 5000 records for a specific boat? Use Adobe Acrobat Reader’s ‘FIND” feature, <CTRL-F>. Information currently in the file will be displayed for each Yacht Type/Class upon request. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________
