In 2004 and 2008 the Women’s Olympic Sail- ing Teams competed in the Yngling. Thereafter the Olympic teams sold their boats in order to meet their need for other high-quality regatta – one grant per National Yngling Association boats.

6 Build New Ynglings

“Build New Yngling” – Based on the appeal by the International President, Walter Baumgartner, at the General Meeting of Suisse Yngling, a new chapter in the history of the Yngling started in January 2020.

Based on the boatyard’s extensive experience in equipping Olympic boats, and in combination with the boat owner’s ideas, the concept for the layout of trims and fittings was implemented, whilst measuring according to Class specifications guaranteed the Only two months later, the contract for construction of a genuine Yngling. the construction of the first Yngling to be built with vinylester resin, by means of vacuum infusion, was signed.

Less than three months later, the new Yngling was placed on its keel at the Only nine months after the call for the Mader boatyard in Germany. construction of new boats, the world’s youngest Yngling with the number SUI 500 embarked on its maiden voyage on Lake Thun in Switzerland.

Fortunately, there are alternative construction methods. Introduction by Walter Baumgartner: During the first The picture below shows how a Yngling was built half year regatta sailing in Switzerland – as in many at the Mader shipyard a few days ago. other countries – was not possible. To keep in touch with our members Jürg Wenger, Fleet Captain Lake Thun, created a quiz about sailing and boat building. Most of us have learned something new. Jürg introduced the first round as follows: “Regatta sailing is on hold. You still want to compete with other Yngling sailors? In that case our contest comes just in time. Test your knowledge and answer the questions. There will be a lucky draw amongst the senders with the correct answers to the questions and three senders will each receive a copy of the Yngling Magazine.“

Eligible are members of Suisse Yngling and friends Question: What is the name of this production method of the Yngling Class. Board members are excluded. used nowadays in the construction of modern boats?

ROUND 3 Even without the chance to present their brand-new Yngling to a broad public on the occasion of the Worlds in Berlin, Mader Boatyard continues building boats without interruption. The new hull is taking shape. In order to transmit the forces of the keel to the boat hull, to stiffen the hull as well as to support the floor respectively the double bottom, elements are installed in the bilge area. Question: What is this element called?

And now to the questions. ROUND 1 Question 1 What is a Weed Stick and what is it for? Question 2 In which regulations is the term Weed Stick found? a. Guidelines for the organisation of Swiss Yngling Class Championships b. Yngling Class Rules c.

The position of the vertical centre of gravity of the hull is checked.

Question 3 Since when are today’s usual three-digit country codes part of the sail number? a. At the turn of the millennium, starting from the year 2000, ISAF introduced standardized three-letter country codes. b. At the 1995 annual meeting of ISAF, it was decided to use three-digit country codes. After a transitional period of 4 years, from 31 March 1999, the three-digit code was obligatory when sails were re-measured. c. On November 10, 2000, the Yngling class was selected by the ISAF as the women’s Olympic keelboat class for the 2004 Summer Olympic Games in Athens. The Yngling class also had to adopt the three-digit country code that is mandatory for other Olympic boat classes. 13 The answers can be found on page 36. 3d printing for spare parts

This spring, having replaced the standing rigging on my Yngling over the winter, I found myself having to acquire new spreader caps for a poorly documented fifty-year old boat (Figure 1). There seemed to be no chance of buying ‘genuine’ replacements, and I had resigned myself to either laboriously carving a plastic chopping board, or messily attempting to cast the old parts in epoxy resin, when I remembered that 3D printing has become widely available. 3D printing, as the name suggests, enables three-dimensional structures to be built up a layer at a time. The most common (and affordable) approach uses filaments of Figure 2 thermoplastic which are extruded hot from the print-head and harden on cooling. These now cost TinkerCad because it is reputable (belonging to the not much more than a normal inkjet printer, and there company Autodesk, Inc.) and since it runs in a web are also an ever-increasing number of commercial browser, it would work on my Macintosh and also has services which will print a design for you (uploaded as a reputation for simplicity, and is widely used (making a digital design file). it easy to find advice on-line). If, like me, you don’t Although I had little prior experience of using a CAD have much experience with CAD software then I program, it only took me an afternoon with the bits of would definitely recommend working through the the old spreader end cap, a Vernier calliper and the online tutorials to get used to the concepts and user TinkerCad® software to develop a shape that looked interface. Online services for printing will usually plausible (Figure 2). I chose the free online service accept a few different file formats — common options include .stl and .obj. If preparing a 3D file from general purpose software, be aware of the limitations of the Figure 1 3D printing. My biggest problem in developing the CAD model of my spreader end cap was not so much the use of the software, as the fact that my example end cap was broken and I wasn’t actually sure as to what it was for (e.g. should it grip the shrouds tightly, or should they be free to move through the end cap; I settled for a friction grip). I didn’t entirely trust my measurements, and I wasn’t sure what the dimensional tolerance on printing would be, so I had deliberately made my model slightly over size, in order to be able to sand the part to an exact fit. My lack of experience with CAD software and the limitations of TinkerCad meant that the model didn’t have chamfered edges so these would in any case have to be rounded off. As I had concerns about the ability of PLA to survive the summer temperatures and UV light here in Switzer- land, I chose to print my first parts in PETG (see Table 1) from a commercial online service and the parts duly arrived a few days later. It turned out to be quite a lot harder to sand PETG than wood, but after an hour or so of sanding I was pleased with the fit into the spreader. I then learnt the hard way that PETG (and 14 PLA) are somewhat brittle and broke the parts whilst trying to force the shroud through the clamping part into the groove foreseen for it within the end cap... In the meantime, I had learnt that a friend of mine had their own 3D printer (using PLA) and had quite some experience. They helped to make a slightly better CAD model (using FreeCad), and offered to also print the parts at slightly different sizes to save time with the fitting. It is possible to sand PLA or PETG by hand, but due to their low glass transition temperature (I.e. softening point) it is tricky to use an electric drill or abrasive tool such as a Dremel. If you have access to your own printer, a trial and error approach, adjusting the CAD model after each test fit is probably fastest. PLA and PETG come in a range of colours so I decid- ed to print the port and starboard endcaps in red and green, see Figure 3 and Figure 4. I had intended to wrap the endcaps in protective tape to protect the plastic from sunshine (and the sails from the end cap), but forgot to do this; after one season, the end caps still look OK. In summary, where not too much strength or flexibility is required, and no heat from friction will be generated, 3D printing using plastics can be used to economical- Figure 3 ly produce a variety of customised small parts around the boat e.g. hooks, shelves, cup-holders... For more If anybody is interested in reproducing such end money, professional services can also produce metal caps, I would be happy to supply a .stl file as a starting parts by 3D printing (e.g. using a to melt metal point. powder) and this capability, which has long been James Whitby used for prototyping, is now moving into mainstream Lake of Thun fleet, Switzerland manufacturing.

The Yngling continues to be one of the key one- design keelboat classes at RSYS and provides regular opportunities for close and competitive one-design racing, skills development, social engagement and connection with fellow Yngling sailors in Europe and the United States.

Last year, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we could sail only one event, the Dutch open Championships at Medemblik. We were very happy that this event took place. It was a beautiful weekend with fantastic weather: sun and wind. The first place was taken by Yska Mins (NED 353), second place by Maarten Jamin (NED 355) and the third place by R de Kler (NED 350). Because all other events were cancelled, the YCH had made an Yngling cycling shirt, for all Yngling sailors who (started to) cycle. It was sold well and in the Yngling whatsapp group came regularly pictures of sailors wearing them. But of course, most pictures in the WhatsApp group were memories of Yngling events. Hopefully in 2021 we can sail more than one event. We look forward to the new season and hope everybody stays healthy.

In conclusion quite a number of races could be sailed during this season in spite of the difficult conditions. My particular thanks goes to the organisers and helping hands who did not spare any effort to comply with the hygienic regulations, thus enabling our keen racing sailors to round their racing marks. O – Oh Man! Also bothered by Restrictions and Regulations? One really cannot say so. We are extremely lucky that our sport is done outdoors. With a little goodwill it was possible to comply with the preventive hygienic measures. Surely it would have been desirable for all race participants to attend the official Prize Giving instead of finding Regatta for this season on September 19th and out the race results online in “raceoffice” or 20th, 2020.

In the August 5-8, Alpena, Michigan US, each state set different responses and limitations to social and sporting events which seemed to change daily. Despite the changing conditions, each fleet was able to find a way to enjoy their Yngling. There were a number of single-handed and family boats that started the season, with most clubs finding a way to run full racing by the end of the summer. The 2020 North American Championship regatta scheduled to be held in Alpena, Michigan on Lake Huron was postponed until 2021. Yngling sailing was a much needed mental stress relief for many of us and we are thankful there was a way to make it happen this year. Social distancing picnics as well as outdoor yoga took place to maintain our camaraderie!
