Lake Michigan Surf Newsletter Lake Michigan Sail Racing Federation April 2012 Issue 4 Lake Michigan SuRF Newsletter Nelson Sails His 60 th 100 Miler Race By Brian Chaltry Ed Nelson, a member of Marinette and Menominee Yacht Club, sailed his 60 th 100 Miler, hosted by his club, on July 21. Nelson has retired from the captain's spot and consistently sails as crew on Eagle XXX out of M&MYC. Folks may know him better by his former boat's name: Challenge. Nelson’s first 100 Miler was with his father in 1946 or 1947, when the schooner was a common rig, and sails were still made from cotton. One of his most memorable 100 Milers was a long one - the race started Saturday morning and finished at 1:30 AM the next day. He won by 17 seconds. By far, however, his favorite memory of the 100 Miler is winning the race on a 28' wood sloop that he built himself, about 10-15 years ago. Nelson’s kept a written personal memoir of his sailing experiences. He figures all in all he’s done 900 total races (not just 100 Milers). Be sure to congratulate him for this notable feat. Great Lakes Singlehanded Society Drops 2 Flares from Required List By Bill Tucker, Great Lakes Singlehanded Society Communicating Secretary On July 9 the Great Lakes Singlehanded Society Board approved the elimination of the 2 orange smoke flares from the GLSS required equipment list. This action is consistent with action taken by other race committees. It was the Board's feeling that the 4 SOLAS flares and 4 aerial flares, along with the other requirements, are adequate safety measures.

Turluck Macatawa Bay Yacht Club is on Lake Macatawa which boasts a channel cut and breakwater onto Lake Michigan, close to Holland, Michigan. This active club has offshore racing in concert with two other clubs on Lake Macatawa, Anchorage Marine Yacht Club and Bayshore Yacht Club.

In 2011 MBYC hosted the Canada’s Cup which was won by a Canadian team. They frequently host national level championship regattas. MBYC offers adult sailing lessons and a program focused on teaching women to sail as a standalone activity. Macatawa Bay Yacht Club has a full service club house, a new junior building, hoists, launch ramp, pool, and more. This family friendly organization features a slate of social events including the Commodore's Ball, 4th of July Lobster Boil, Pool Party, and Mother’s Day Brunch.

The LMSRF Youth Championship will be breaking the Optimist Class into Red, White, Blue and Green, as well as an overall Combined Trophy. Registration is on line this year at: http://yachtscoring.com/emenu.cfm?eID=702. NEW RULES FOR 2013 By Glenn T. McCarthy The Racing Rules of Sailing are up to be changed once every four years. Why is it locked for four years? So that Olympians practice under the same rules for the quadrennium so that there are no surprises. With the Olympics going on right now, it means that on January 1, 2013 we get some tweaks made to the game we've been playing for the past 3-1/2 years. When ISAF meets in Dublin, Ireland in November they will make the final changes for the next quadrennium. As soon as they are released publicly, we'll be here to report on them. Lake Michigan Sail Racing Federation2 August 2012 Newsletter S.S. KEEWATIN SAILS BACK HOME The S.S. Keewatin could be seen for years with a short glimpse at Douglas, Mich. when driving by on I-196. She sat as a maritime museum there since 1967, one of the last two Great Lakes Passenger ships. She was said to be the last true Edwardian Era Steamer from the era of the Titanic, Lusitania and Olympic. Tug boats pulled up on June 4, 2012 and towed her to the Township of Tay, Port McNicoll in Georgian Bay, Ontario, arriving on June 23, 2012. The S.S. Keewatin was built in Scotland in 1907 for Canadian Pacific Railway and served between Port Arthur/Fort William and Port McNicoll, carrying both passengers and freight. She returned back home to a 200 voice choir as part of the arrival celebrations in Canada. She is set to be restored, as the hull is steel and the upper deck is wooden, and planned to be the town’s centerpiece. She is expected to be re-opened to tours in April 2013 after restoration is complete.

Hayes Review by Glenn McCarthy Nicholas Hayes of Milwaukee wrote a book in 2009 titled " Saving Sailing ." Nick's profession is a researcher, and he brings numbers and data to the sport of sailing, rather than the common bar bull- hockey we all are accustomed to. For us to start rebuilding sailing, we really need to know where we came from and what causes success and what doesn't. The data is intermixed with Nick's own stories of sailing with his family (which he continues today). One of my favorite lines is (paraphrased), "The average American adult has 37 hours of free time each week (after working shopping, cleaning, chores, etc.). Sailors have chosen to use their 37 hours sailing." Doesn't that describe our lives as sailors? We have focused our free time into what we love to do. Sometimes it isn't easy, but the underlying theme throughout the book is that the sport must be a family activity. When it is, then it works great, as the family commitments are made to be on the boat! Personally I come from a sailing family. In this year's Chicago-Mackinac, I sailed with my daughter (Christina), niece (Laura), nephew (Neal), sister (Gail) and father (Gene) and a friend whose done 30+ Macs with us who is darn near family (Jack). All have been bitten by the sailing bug and it provides the opportunity for more family get togethers than anything else the family does. Back to the book. What I really liked about the book is the volume of information that is brought to the table. I liked the data and the numbers. What I liked most was that Nick did not attempt to draw conclusions or tell any of us how to fix the sport. That really must have been hard to do, but it was the best for him to do. The reader is left to think of new solutions using the data to guide them and build as many new programs to get this sport growing as they possibly can. I highly recommend reading this book and it is one to add to your book collection. http://www.amazon.com/Saving-Sailing-Choices-Families-Commitments/dp/1933987073 Lake Michigan Sail Racing Federation3 August 2012 Newsletter LONG DISTANCE RACE STRATEGY ONBOARD POROROCA by Andy Osvalds, Navigator and Glenn McCarthy, Watch Captain I board the GL 70, Pororoca , in her slip at the Chicago Yacht Club, just after dawn. The 104th contingent is still asleep or shaking off last night's festivities with a well iced Bloody Mary from the Mackinac Bar. I am the first of her thirteen crew aboard, except for a few overnight guests still checked in and asleep at Hotel Pororoca . "Those pipe berths really do rival the pillow-tops at the Palmer House up Monroe," I note to myself, estimating how much shut-eye I will get over the next 48 hours.

  • Canadian Pacific
    Canadian Pacific Isicrric $$$C+**&&^<st APTURE the thrills that surround a delightful voyage C of the Great Lakes by sailing into the golden west across Georgian Bay. Glamorous tales are told of this now famed Summer Waterway. In 1615, Champlain and his Indian friends blazed a trail to this Bay by way of Lake Nipissing and French River thinking to find a path to the Orient. That path was never completed, but in its stead is a story of Indian warfare, the martyrdom of Jesuit missionaries and the pluck and resourcefulness of explorers, fur traders and lumbermen. Over 30,000 islands dot the shores of Georgian Bay— islands among the oldest known to geologists. Of these the first easterly group is the Christian Islands — Faith, Hope and Charity — now Indian reservations of the Ojibway race. Far in the distance are the Blue Mountains of Collingwood, and to the right a group of rocky islands — the Westerns, where stands a friendly lighthouse. There is gentle beauty in the tree-clothed slopes of the shores, a sharp contrast to the rocky pine-clad islands. Canoes, yachts and sail­ boats ply to and from the mouth of the Severn River — summer cottages and camps form colourful patches along the shores. Westward is Bruce Peninsula where stands Cabot Head, the lime stone cliffs extending to Cape Hurd, and what looks like a flower pot stuck in the waters is Flower Pot Island. High on its rocky cliffs is perched a lighthouse. Still westward close to the boundary line is Cove Island. Midnight, the stars grow brighter, the moon sheds silver spangles across the bay.

  • Melges Promo
    # THE WORLD LEADER IN PERFORMANCE ONE DESIGN RACING # # MELGES.COM # # MELGES.COM MELGES BOAT WORKS, INC. was founded by Harry C. Melges, Sr. in 1945. Melges became an instant leader in scow boat design, production and delivery in the U.S., particularly in the Midwest. Harry, Sr. initially built boats out of wood. The first boats produced were flat-bottomed row boats, which provided a core business to keep his vision and the company alive. It wasn't long before he branched into race boat production delivering the best hulls, sails, spars, covers and accessories ensuring his customers stayed on the competitive cutting-edge. Melges (pronounced mel•gis), is one of the most reputable, recognized and respected family names in the sailing industry. The devotion, generosity, perseverance and passion that surrounds the name is undeniable. It will forever be a legendary symbol of quality, excellence and experience that is second-to-none. Early on Harry Sr.’s son, Harry “Buddy” Melges, Jr. was involved in operating the family boat building business. Over time, Buddy established an impressive collection of championship titles and Olympic medals. During the 1964 Olympics, Buddy was awarded a bronze medal in the Flying Dutchman and in 1968 won a gold medal at the Pan Am Games. In 1972, he won a gold medal in the Soling in Kiel, Germany — the Soling’s official debut in Olympic competition. In the years that followed, Buddy won over 60 major national and international sailing championship titles. They include the Star in 1978 and 1979; 5.5 Metre in 1967, 1973 and 1983; International 50 Foot World Cup in 1989; Maxi in 1991 and the National E Scows in 1965, 1969, 1978, 1979 and 1983.

In 1963 or so, my parents and our neighbors in partnership bought an early Tartan 27—the classic S&S design that launched the company. For years, we cruised and raced the boat all over the Northeast as a family of five and thought nothing of staying aboard for a week at a time. When my folks decided to move up in size, they sold the boat to another neighbor, who kept it for 30 years and cruised it all over New England. When he decided to sell, who should step up to buy the then-40-year-old boat but my nephew, who keeps it near Boston and sails it whenever he can…now with a new engine and new sails, but still the same 47-year-old cruiser. So the boat is still in the family.That says a lot about Tartan’s place in the American sailing scene. The boat building company, founded by Ohio native Charlie Britton in 1960, has always been focused primarily on solid, honest boats that appeal to families, whether they are cruising in a Tartan 37 or beating around the buoys in a Tartan Ten. While times change and designs evolve, that fundamental Tartan quality remains the same.In July, I had the chance to test sail the center-cockpit Tartan 5300 Luora, which belongs to Jeff and Linda Lennox.
