    windwardle The Official Newsletter of the Spring 1988 International Sunfish® Class Association Vol. II, No. 6 · ~ : . .I RETROSPECT: Jack Evans Looks Back (Part 1) ~ by Charlot Ras-A/lard It's hard to believe that the Sunfish (and its predecessor, the Sailfish) dates back 40 years. Twenty­ five North American champions have been crowned, and countless sailors from the America's Cup on down have raced the 'Fish at some point. Few had the vantage points that Jack Evans had. The scoreboard shows he garnered four Sailfish national titles between 1967 and 1970, was runner up at the 1974 Force 5 North Americans, won the first Super Sunfish North American Championship in 1975, sailed the C-Ciass catamaran, Weathercock, at the 1972 Little America's Cup in Australia, and, of course, earned the right to sail with a silver Sunfish on his sail at the 1972 North Americans at Sayville. Evans gained another perspective through his work " wearing many hats" at Alcort from 1969-1977, most notably as Class Secretary from 1969-1975. He later went on to: design and market the Phantom, become a Regional Sales Representative for Hobie, write the book " Techniques of One-Design Rac­ ing, " and testify in a Congressional hearing on the merits of Micron 33 while working at International Paint, Inc. Currently, he is employed by Beckson Marine, Inc. in Bridgeport, Connecticut. ) caught up with Jack at the 1988 New York Boat Show and later at his home in Guilford, Connecticut, reuniting after a "few" years.

Here he describes the work behind the mast section on the 1974 America's cup defender. Eds.) The America's Cup is defended and challenged by men sailing the most advanced boats afloat, and no 12-Meter skipper would want to go to the starting line with anything but the fastest boat and best equipment that designers and builders can produce. Since very small differences in boatspeed can mean the margin between victory and defeat, every part of the boat (hull, rigging, and sails) is reviewed and studied for any possible improvement. Much was written last summer and fall about hull shape (with the disappointment of the Chance-designed Mariner) and about sails (the Kevlar mainsails and the Hood versus North competition).
