With the Tall Ships Challenge bringing more than 30 vessels to the Lakes in 2010 and festi- vals in Bay City, Green Bay and Chicago, it is sure to be a fun and exciting summer aboard these historic ships.

Pasty Fundraiser for TACS Sailing Program that serves those with Disabilities “Before my diving accident 30 years ago, I sailed a laser” said Steve Rutkowski. Steve is a quadri- plegic and sailor in TACS new adapted sailing program. Over the years Steve has tried to figure out how he could get back into sailing. Because of the TACS program at the Cornwell Sailing Center on Boardman Lake, Steve, and a dozen other individuals with disabilities were able to sail independently last summer. The boats, docks, and transfer lifts were designed to accommodate all individuals. Our special Access 303 boat allows participants to maneuver the boat with a joystick. Our goal is to have 100 participants sail in the adapted sailing program in the summer of 2010! For more information, to make a donation or to volunteer see www.tacsailing.com (select Adapted Sailing) We are having a pasty fundraiser to raise the funds to purchase our 2 nd Access 303 boat. When: Sat. Jan.23 rd (pasties will be made at the TBA Career Tech Center on Parsons Rd.) Pick up after 6:00 or from 11:00-2:00 on Sun. Jan 24 th . To Order, Sign up at GTYC or email Barb Hutchens at [email protected] or 231-649-7117 with your order. Pasties are $6.00 each or $5.00 if you order 10 or more. MERRY CHRISTMAS In northern Michigan we sure know how to have fun. Yes, this is a real picture taken 5 Dec 2009 and that is real snow on the bow of the boat and on the shore across the bay. Santa was delivered on a Cal 40 to a waiting dingy for a ride to shore. The Grand Traverse Yacht Club hosts a chil- dren's Christmas Party each year and Santa always arrives by sailboat. Santa and his elves sail or motor (if no wind) around the bay for several hours before coming to shore. Meanwhile, the children enjoy crafts and cookie decorating. As Santa gets close the children bundle up and go outside and enjoy the excitement of Santa's arrival. This has been going on for 10 to 12 years. I'm not sure, but I think Santa and his elves have more fun than the chil- dren. Some of the elves have been with Santa since the first year. Ginni The Leelanau Enterprise, Lake Leelanau, Michigan, 10 Dec 2009 Friday January, 22nd is Caribbean Night at the Club. The Social Commit- tee hasn't yet set the menu but they are planning on having a Salsa band there for live music. GTYC Friday Night Crew Dinners Will Begin in January! The Cruiser Fleet will start off on Friday, January 8th but Friday, January 29th is still open for anyone interested. Contact Steve at [email protected] with their boat name and theme for the dinner. Misc Ramblings …………………………………………………………...………………..PC40 HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! What a great year 2009 was with the new Club, lots of great events, many old friends, and plenty of new ones too. My compliments to Commodore Ken for an excellent reign and welcome to ‘pastdome’. I hope that you and Bev enjoy this ‘cruise’ for a long long time. Also, many kudos to Ian for a job well done, and to Jacque- lyn, Chris, and Chef Patrick for helping to make GTYC such an enjoyable place to be. Now on to 2010 — Our first season of the year is iceboating and it started this past Sunday at Birch Lake just north of Elk Rapids. It will be hard to top last season with the DN Worlds held on Torch Lake, but we are hosting the North Americans in the Central Lakes District and we always hope it will be nearby for those that like to come out and watch. The District Regatta is set for Jan 16/17 and the NAs set for Feb 27 thru Mar 06 with the GTIYC Fun Regatta later in March. Keep track at www.gtiyc.com or www.dnamerica.org/forum or come to a meeting the first Tuesday of each month. For last minute info call the ice hotline — 922-3836. There is usually an extra boat set up if you want to try it or a two-seater if you just want a ride. This is also the time of year that we should be refreshing our knowledge of the rules. Some significant changes to the RRS have been introduced effective Jan 1st. Check them out at www.sailing.org/30355 and also plan to at- tend the Rules Seminar in April hosted by Boyne City Yacht Club. As soon as the ice is out of Boardman Lake, the High School Sailing Teams will be practicing (yes, they wear dry suits) and heading to regattas throughout the Midwest. The teams are 9th - 12th graders from many of the area high schools and we also have 8th graders that practice with the teams. If you know anyone that might be inter- ested, watch for the organization meeting in the spring or let one of the TACS Board Members know.

  • 1 Sailboat Autopilot
    Sailboat Autopilot: Mainsheet Tender Module Jonathan Harris Engineering 90 2007 – 2008 Professor Fred Orthlieb 1 Abstract The Art of sailing a wind powered vessel relies heavily on the ability of the crew to trim the sails. Finding the right angle of the sail with respect to the vessel will apply the optimal amount of force with the least amount of drag on the boat. Using the idea that there is an optimal sail angle, a device has been constructed which based on wind direction relative to the boat calculates the optimal sail angle and adjusts the mainsheet accordingly. The tender is designed as a modular system that functions independent of an autopilot program that would be set to maintain a heading, hence it can be used with any autopilot system currently on the market or used independently with a sailor steering the vessel. 2 Acknowledgements Without the assistance of the Engineering Faculty and staff at Swarthmore College, this project would not be. I would like to thank the following professors for their assistance in bringing me to where I am today, and helping me complete this project.
