  • February 2018 SYSCO Newsletter
    From the Front Call to Community: To Go Boldly, Part II February 2018 Truth to Power? Racer's Corner Racing Report February 2018 SYSCO Meeting Minutes Small Yacht Sailing Club of Oregon STARTING LINE CYC Sailing on Sunday spinnaker action! Photo courtesy of Jenn Thompson. From the Front Michael Morrissey, Commodore I just got off OB1 after a wild and wacky weekend sailing the Portlandia Cup sponsored by the Willamette Sailing Club. The general idea is to expose high school sailors to keelboat racing on the Columbia River. The WSC has run the Portlandia Cup for 4 years and it has taken on different formats. This year it was open to one-design boats that sail on the Columbia with an entry requirement of each boat having a high school student as part of the crew to qualify. Several SYSCO Merit-25s thought that this was a good idea and signed up for the races, to be run over a weekend in February. A Merit 25 owner from Newport, Greg Krutzikowsky, who coaches high school sailing on Yaquina Bay, worked with Tod Bassham and other Merits saying that he would join the races with some Yaquina Bay youths if we could find him a boat. Jim Caldwell, owner of Runaway, stepped up and graciously offered his vessel and suddenly, there were 4 Merits ready to pound the river with enthusiastic sailors from the Y generation. Other high schoolers were identified by the WSC. The idea was to have a number of races on Saturday and then join forces with SOS for the Sunday event.

Using Adobe Acrobat’s ‘FIND” feature, <CTRL-F>, information can be displayed for each boat class upon request. Class names conform to USPHRF designations.

This publication also lists handicaps by Class/Type, Fleet, Confidence Codes, and other useful information. Precautions: Handicap data represents base handicaps. Some reported handicaps represent determinations based upon statute rather than nautical miles. Some of the reported handicaps are based upon only one handicapped boat.

The Board had no choice but to negate the contract. Our earnest money has been returned. Someone else ha s already offered a contract and Walter Carrington's office expects it to be closed in two to three weeks. The Board is attempting to settle our legal battle with the Lakeland Hills Section One people by offering a compromise proposal. Lakeland Hills Section One is that group of property owners south of AYC property ~cross Rittenhouse Cove. 1\s you may have noticed there are three boat docks either floating or aground on the other side of the cove. Shortly after the founders of AYC purchased our present location they also purchased that tract of land from the 670 foot contour level to the edge of Rittenhouse Drive. The property owners in the Lakeland Hills Section One had and have an easement to use that tract of land for swimming, picnicing and boating.

  • Sailing Back from Hawaii: Twice the Fun for Half the Price by Paul Kamen
    Sailing Back from Hawaii: Twice the Fun for Half the Price By Paul Kamen If you are planning to ship your boat back from Hawaii after the 2014 Pacific Cup, you are about to miss half the fun and pay twice the price. Yes, I'm going to make the case for sailing your boat back to California, even if it's as small as a Moore 24. You will more than double your enjoyment of the North Pacific in summer, and you'll save the cost of shipping your boat home. But first: If you only have three weeks off work for the Pac Cup, stop here, because you can't do the return trip with a small boat on a tight schedule. To enjoy the passage you'll need to allow 30 days, and before that you'll need a couple of days after the awards banquet at Kaneohe (July 25) to re-provision. This means that you cannot count on being back at your desk before Monday September 1. If that's okay, read on. Why sail the uphill part of the trip when ships built like floating parking lots are ready to whisk your boat and trailer back to the mainland? Well, why do you want to sail to Hawaii in the first place, when there are airliners ready to get you there in five hours? The reasons are the same: It's fun, it's an adventure, and it's a tremendously satisfying achievement when it's over. And you save airfare and shipping costs.

  • 2013-06-13 Keel Boat Manual V1.8
    A BASIC MANUAL FOR KEEL BOAT SAILING AT CSC Keelboat Manual. Cal Sailing Club 2013-06-13 INTRODUCTION INTRODUCTION So you’ve been messing about in Dinghies for a while and have your Junior rating and you feel it’s time to start sailing on the keelboats. This is intended to be a guide to get you started and also as a reference as you go through some Wednesday night lessons or when getting private instruction. The material covered in this handout will continue to build on the basics learned in Dinghies with attention called to some of the big differences between the two. A keelboat is slower to respond, has a greater turning radius and, with a large mass, momentum will be a big factor in how the boat behaves. The fundamentals are not going to be covered here, as they are thoroughly discussed in the Colgate and other basic sailing books listed at the end of this manual. The most important skills to be learned are: the ability to recognize what the boat will be doing before it happens and planning maneuvers before executing them. Having a thorough understanding of basic sail mechanics will also be a good starting point for learning to sail keelboats. Keelboats and dinghies are not mutually exclusive! It is important to continue practicing on the smaller boats for several reasons. A Junior can get all the tiller time he/she wants to practice universal techniques such as proper sail trim, man overboard (MOB) recovery, rear facing jibes, anchoring and circles. It is also worthwhile to learn to handle a dinghy when overpowered so when the wind jumps up to 30 knots you will still feel very comfortable.
