NO REFUNDS – ALL SALES ARE FINAL. If you have made auction purchases, you must pay the amount in full before you leave the auction area the day of the auction. However, if you need to make arrangements to pay for your purchase please see one of the Boat Auction Committee members or Y Staff. All boats and merchandise available for auction have been donated, as is, to the Y. The Y has limited knowledge of the condition of the boats, etc. and has shared that information with the bidders. The Y is not able to accept any responsibility for the condition of the items sold. NAVIGATION RULES CONDITIONS OF SALE In most cases, there is an established a Reserve Price on donated items in this Auction. This is a confidential, conservative price arrived at in consultation with the Boat Auction Committee and a comparison of market values for similar boats. Please note: This Reserve Price is usually below the Estimated Market Value , which is supplied only as a guideline for all Bidders at this Auction. Whereas the Y would like to sell all the Boats/Items presented at the Auction, this is not an Absolute Auction. All items do not have to be sold; nor is it a Yard Sale: live and absentee bidding is encouraged. Consequently, any item can be “retired” by the Auctioneer on behalf of the Y. This is termed a Reserve Auction in the State of Maine. When an item is “retired,” the Y reserves the right to offer it for sale via various means3 at its disposal. The Y reserves the right to sell a boat or item, before or after the day of the auction if, at the sole discretion of the Y, making such a sale would benefit the Y. There are no Boats/Equipment/Items at this Auction “On Consignment.” All items have been donated to the Y and are up for competitive bidding and none is from other sources. BIDDER’S NOTICE When the Y has been informed or discovers relevant information about a boat or an engine, we will tell you what we have been told. But we do not guarantee the condition or the accuracy of information reported about any boat or item. All appraisals are today’s Estimated Market Values for this Auction. These prices are only guidelines; however, they tend to be lower than average for similar boats being offered elsewhere at this time. All items on this Inventory List will be offered for bid today, unless otherwise noted on the list or announced by the Auctioneer. If no one bids on a particular item, the item will be retired from the Auction and sold privately outside this Auction. Some items have Reserve (Minimum) Prices. If these minimums are not met, the Y reserves the right to retire the boat/items from the Auction and to sell it privately outside the Auction. We ask that people not intending to bid, step back from the front rows so that those who are bidding can see and hear the Auctioneer, and so that we may also hear and see those trying to bid. The Auctioneer can only recognize bidders that he can see. Please interrupt the Auctioneer at any time with your questions or requests for clarification. We want you to enjoy yourselves and buy a boat. ABSENTEE BIDS OR PRE-AUCTION Absentee Bids are encouraged. These bids, are recorded and will be presented by the Auctioneer, who, during the Auction process will clearly point to himself as a participating Absentee Bidder…calling aloud that participating Absentee Bid. POST-AUCTION PURCHASES OF ITEMS Sealed bids can be submitted for any boats that remain unsold at the conclusion of the live auction. The Boat Auction Committee will consider sealed bids the week after the auction and if accepted the bidder will be notified. In the case of multiple bidders with the same price on the same item, bidders will be asked to submit another bid in writing and (the Y will provide forms for doing this) by a determined time. The highest bid will be accepted. LASTLY…..BID HIGH AND BID OFTEN! Please remember that proceeds from this Auction help send kids to Summer Camp. 4 OUR FLEET OF BOATS & NAUTICAL ITEMS 5 Note: Estimated Market Value Range | EMV • To Be Determined | TBD 1986 TANZER 22’ “RIPPLE” EMV: TBD This fiberglass sloop has fin keel and tiller steering.

Lake Townsend is a small reservoir just outside of Greensboro, N.C. The lake has very little Jim Cook and his daughter Nora development along the shoreline, with a golf Cook in W10873 followed by Jim and Linda Heffernan in W1066 course on one side and trees on the other, which (above) fly their spinnakers in makes it a gorgeous place to sail. It also helps keep light winds during the Mayor’s the boat traffic down, so sailing in lighter winds is Cup on Lake Townsend. Jim and Nora (left) at the mark. The duo actually possible. went on to win the Sept. 26-27 Entries for the regatta were restricted by the regatta.

I have received so many compliments on the boat, one of them even before I drove away from the parking lot where we did the hand-off.

  • How the Beaufort Scale Affects Your Sail Plan
    How the Beaufort scale affects your sail plan The Beaufort scale is a measurement that relates wind speed to observed conditions at sea. Used in the sea area forecast it allows sailors to anticipate the condition that they are likely to face. Modern cruising yachts have become wider over the years to allow more room inside the boat when berthed. This offers the occupants a large living space but does have an effect on the handling of the boat. A wide beam, relatively short keel and rudder mean that if they have too much sail up they have a greater tendency to broach into the wind. Broaching, although dramatic for those onboard, is nothing more than the boat turning into the wind and is easy to rectify by carrying less sail. If the helm is struggling to keep the boat in a straight line then the boat has too much ‘weather helm’ i.e. the boat keeps turning into the wind- in this instance it is necessary to reduce sail. Racer/cruisers are often narrower than their cruising counter parts, with longer keels and rudders which mean they are less likely to broach, but often more difficult to sail with a small crew. Cruising yachts often have large overlapping jibs or genoas and relevantly small main sails. This allows the sail area to be reduced quickly and easily simply by furling away some head sail. The main sail is used to balance boat as the main drive comes from the head sail. Racer cruisers will often have smaller jibs and larger main sails, so reducing the sail area means reefing the main sail first and using the jib to balance the boat.

  • The New York Sloop
    The New York Sloop The most important of the sloop-rigged small-boat types used in the fisheries was the New York sloop, which had a style of hull and rig that influenced the design of both yachts and work-boats for over thirty years. The New York boats were developed sometime in the 1830's, when the centerboard had been accepted. The boats were built all about New York Bay, particularly on the Jersey shore. The model spread rapidly, and, by the end of the Civil War, the shoal centerboard sloop of the New York style had appeared all along the shores of western Long Island Sound, in northern New Jersey, and from thence southward into Delaware and Chesapeake waters. In the postwar growth of the southern fisheries, during the 1870's and 80's, this class of sloop was adopted all along the coasts of the South Atlantic states and in the Gulf of Mexico; finally, the boats appeared at San Francisco. The model did not become very popular, however, east of Cape Cod. The New York sloop was a distinctive boat—a wide, shoal centerboarder with a rather wide, square stern and a good deal of dead rise, the midsection being a wide, shallow V with a high bilge. The working sloops usually had a rather hard bilge; but in some it was very slack, and a strongly flaring side was used. Originally, the ends were plumb, and the stem often showed a slight tumble home at the cutwater. V-sterns and short overhanging counters were gradually introduced in the 1850's, particularly in the boats over 25 feet in length on deck.

  • Study Plans (Both Are Covered Here for Simplicity)
    Your ‘Slingshot 16’ and ‘Slingshot 19’ Trimaran Free Study Plans (Both are Covered Here For Simplicity) …from Designer / Builder / Sometimes Sailor Frank Smoot (AKA ‘Trimaran Frank’) About The Boats: The ‘Slingshot 16’ is a 1-2 seater trimaran, and the ‘Slingshot 19’ is a 2-3 seater trimaran. Both boats been developed to sail in perfect balance. With the 2-seater setup, but boat can remain in ideal helm balance whether soloing or carrying a passenger, thanks to a unique sliding seat arrangement. You can also rig them both with several very different kinds of sail rigs, and with either folding or fixed amas. NOTE: The Slingshot 19 plans include full details to build both the folding akas and 19’ amas. NOTE: The basic Slingshot 16 plans include construction details for the standard 14’ cruising amas and one-piece (non-folding) akas. Supplementary plans are also available that include full construction details for the larger 16’ performance amas and also for folding akas for the Slingshot 16. NOTE: Plans for the 2-seater version of the Slingshot 16 are not yet available, but are in the works. About the speed of these two trimarans: You may not want to go 14 mph, but it’s nice to know your boat can safely do that. (It could probably do more, but somehow that seems fast enough for me.) You can choose among 5 different sail rigs, either stayed or freestanding (unstayed). And you can initially build the Slingshot 19 with fixed akas, then later convert to folding akas (for easy trailering) if you wish.
