MIT Sailing is Selling Dinghies & Gear

by Leave a Comment

 

The MIT Sailing Pavilion is selling a whole bunch of extraneous equipment.
Please forward this along to community program leaders who might be
interested in picking up some sailing equipment at very reasonable prices.
All equipment should be picked up from the MIT Pavilion ASAP as we do not
plan on packing and shipping any of it.

Fifteen 2004 Jibe Tech Tech Dinghies totally complete and ready to sail
with 3 year old full sized sails and 10 year old storm sails. These boats
are self rescuing and have been professionally maintained through out their
lives. All lines and halyards are current and these boats need absolutely
nothing. Side buoyancy tanks are maintained to minimize leaks and all boats
got buffed and tefloned twice annually during their lives with MIT.
Laminated ash tillers are bomb proof and make the rudders float.  $2500/
boat. Prefer to sell as a group. Twenty additional tech dinghies will
become available in mid June as we prepare for the 6th generation carbon
tech dinghy fleet to arrive. Perfect for day camps, adult or youth
learn-to-sail programs. Robust construction in every way.

One Jibe Tech carbon fiber tech dinghy with tapered aluminum mast and North
3DL mainsail with 2 reef points. Lighter than a Laser! Easy to roof top.
Complete at $3500.

Eighteen very nice FJ top covers built by Kinder Industries in RI. These
covers are between 2 and 4 years old and have tons of life left in them.
They are designed for boom off storage with generous wrap down along the
top sides. $120 each

Eighteen complete sets of colored mylar FJ sails. Yes, the most beautiful
looking sails are now making an exit from our program. We think the jibs
are quite beat up along the foot and the mainsails could probably go a bit
longer. Perfect for team racing or Red Sox pre game video shots. Jib sheets
are not included. Red, Blue, Grey, Yellow, Green, Orange. Also, one
prototype set of mylar FJ sails only used twice included. $1800 for all.

Eighteen 2007 North Dacron FJ mainsails with colored digits and viewing
windows. Windows are still good and these sails still have quite a bit of
life left in them, too. $200 for all of them and you carry them out.

A Test for Sailors Headed to the Olympic and Paralympic Rolex Miami OCR

by Leave a Comment

Miami, FL, USA

When US Sailing’s Rolex Miami OCR returns to Coconut
Grove, Fla., next week for its 23rd annual edition, top athletes from around
the world will be using it as an opportunity to jump-start ambitious sailing
goals for 2012, not the least of which, for some, is participation in this
summer’s London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games.  With racing scheduled
from Monday, January 23 through Saturday, January 28, the six-day Rolex Miami
OCR is the second of seven 2011-2012 ISAF Sailing World Cup regattas and
features elite-level competition in the classes selected for the Olympic and
Paralympic Games.  At the close of registration on Sunday, 532 sailors
representing 44 countries had registered.

Among the many international competitors–some with
Olympic berths secured and others still vying for spots on their national
teams–will be Marit Bouwmeester (The Netherlands), who finished 2011 on a high
note by winning both the Laser Radial class at the Perth 2011 ISAF Sailing
World Championships and the honor of representing her country in that class at
the Olympics.

“Everybody has been training really hard the past year,
so I think Rolex Miami OCR will be a tough battle again and it will probably
stay that way until the Games,” said Bouwmeester whose company out on the water
will include fellow podium finishers at the Worlds and Olympic representatives
Paige Railey (Clearwater, Fla., USA) and Evi Van Acker (Belgium). (Railey also
is the defending Rolex Miami OCR champion and has won the event four times.)

“It is definitely fun racing against all the good girls,”
said Bouwmeester, adding that 2012 will be her first-ever Olympic experience.
“I always spend two months in Miami and Fort Lauderdale to get my light-wind
training in. Miami is the complete opposite of what I’m used to, so it’s a nice
challenge and a good opportunity to learn.”

With 82 boats registered, the Laser class promises not to
disappoint as the typically largest fleet at the Rolex Miami OCR.  With
multiple potential winners embedded in the entry roster, Chris Dold and David
Wright stand out from among 13 Canadian entries that are here to participate in
their Olympic Trials, which started in Perth and will end with the next ISAF
Sailing World Cup regatta (the Trofeo S.A.R. Princesa Sofia MAPFRE) in March.

“It’s going to be fun to watch these guys fight it out
for their Olympic Trials,” said Rob Crane (Darien, Conn., USA) who is coming
off a jam-packed 2011 schedule that culminated with him winning an Olympic
berth for the U.S. team after pulling off amazing 1-2 finishes on the last
competition day in Perth to beat out his teammates for the spot.

“After my own experience in Perth, it will be fun to
watch other people handle that situation,” said Crane.  “I train with the
Canadian team a lot, and I’m good friends with all those guys. It’s great to
race against them, but for this regatta their concern is beating out each other
for the Olympic spot.”

The fleet also is densely packed with well-known names
from around the globe such as Alsogaray (ARG) and Bruno Fontes (BRA), as well
as up-and-comers such as Charlie Buckingham (Newport Beach, Calif., USA).

Traveling more than halfway around the globe are 2011
World Champions and Australia’s representatives for the Olympic Games in the
470 Men’s class  Mathew Belcher and Malcom Page. “After spending the
better part of the decade trying to gain Olympic selection, London will be my
first (Games),” said Belcher, adding that his teammate Malcolm Page crewed (for
skipper Nathan Wilmot) to win an Olympic Gold medal in Beijing (2008).

“We have and will be working hard to prepare ourselves to
defend Australia’s Gold from Beijing, and the Rolex Miami OCR 2012 will provide
us with the opportunity to gain high level racing before heading over to
Europe,” said Belcher, who will be going up against some power houses who are
constantly battling each other in the top-ten at international events,
including Olympic-bound Stu McNay (Boston, Mass., USA) with crew Graham Biehl
(San Diego, Calif., USA); Lucas Calabrese with Juan Maria de la Fuente (ARG);
and Matthias Schmid with Florian Reichstaedter (AUT).  “We are a little
isolated in Australia and don’t get the level of competition that our
competitors can get access to. For us, it’s important to fly almost 30 hours
and transport our equipment to Miami to compete for only a five-day regatta.
That’s how much we like coming to Miami and how important we think doing this
event is.”

Hannah Mills and Saskia Clark (GBR), in the 470 Women’s
class, are always a good run for the money, and after a podium finish in Perth
they will no doubt share in some epic battles against World Champions Lisa
Westerhof and Lobke Berkhout (NED). The USA’s team of Amanda Clark(Shelter
Island Heights, N.Y., USA)  and Sarah Lihan Fort Lauderdale, Fla., USA)
edged out USA’s Erin Maxwell and Isabelle Kinsolving Farrar during a
tie-breaker in Perth, which earned them their berth at the Olympic Games.

As always, the Star class is shining with world-renowned
champions, and perhaps the best-known names attending are two-time Olympic gold
medalists Robert Scheidt and Bruno Prada (BRA), who just wrapped up 2011 with
their second straight title at the Star World Championships (as part of the
ISAF Sailing World Championships in Perth).  Though Scheidt and Prada are
used to fleet-topping performances, they also know not to discount the tough
competition that consistently rotates into the top ten at this event, including
Xavier Rohart with crew Pierre Alexis Ponsot (FRA) and Hamish Pepper with Maz
Salminen (SWE). The USA’s Olympic-bound Star sailors Mark Mendelblatt and Brian
Fatih (both Miami, Fla.) also will be in attendance and using their local
knowledge to try to dominate on Biscayne Bay.

Nico Luca Marc Delle Karth and Nikolaus Resch (AUT) are
top players in the 49er fleet, and in Perth, Denmark had a handful of teams in
the medal race, so it doesn’t go unnoticed that Allan Norregaard and crew Peter
Land have thrown their hat into the Rolex Miami OCR ring along with Jonas
Warrer (Denmark’s gold medalist in Beijing) and Seren Hansen.  Erik Storck
(Huntington, N.Y., USA) and Trevor Moore (Pomfret, Vt./Naples, Fla., USA) who
were inches away from bronze in Perth, are on an upward spiral and expecting to
accomplish big things at the Rolex Miami OCR.  But all is not for the
veterans at this event.  U.S. up-and-comers Ryan Pesch (Chicago, Ill.,USA)
and Trevor Burd (Vineyard Haven, Mass. USA), are looking to retain their status
on the US Sailing Development Team, along with Frederick Strammer (Nokomis,
Fla.) and Zachary Brown (Nokomis, Fla., USA), who have been training and living
in Miami for several months and are making a push for the 2016 Olympic Games.

In Finn class, the USA’s 2012 Olympic team member Zach
Railey (Clearwater, Fla.) is the front runner and expected to bring back the
gold, but he will have some tough competition from Brendan Casey (AUS) and
fellow US Sailing AlphaGraphics teammate Caleb Paine (San Diego, Calif., USA),
who has been posting consistent top-20 finishes as of late.

In the Men’s and Women’s RS:X classes, the fleets arerelatively small compared to past years, since many of the world’s top
windsurfers chose to bypass the long trip to Miami from the ISAF Worlds in
Perth and go straight to the 2012 RS:X European Windsurfing Championships,
scheduled for February in Portugal, and on to the RS:X World Windsurfing
Championships, scheduled for March in Spain.  Last year’s World Cup series
winner Nick Dempsey (GBR) could be all but guaranteed the gold in Men’s, as his
nemesis, Dorian van Rijsselberge (NED), who edged him out for the gold here at
the Rolex Miami OCR in 2011, is missing from the roster.   Still,
Dempsey will have to contest the likes of Ahmed Habash (EGY), who is a
four-time National Mistral Champion, and others such as Robert Willis (Chicago,
Ill., USA) whose time has come for shining on the international circuit. 
In the Women’s RS:X, Poland and Israel have traditionally been strong, which means
Malgorzata Bialecka (POL) and Maayan Davidovich (ISR) might have the nod, but
the strengths of USA’s Farrah Hall, who won her country’s Trials, cannot go
unpondered.  She is working her hardest to polish up for the Worlds, since
it is there that she must qualify her country in order to make her earned spot
on the USA’s Olympic team matter.

The newest Olympic class in the Games is Women’s Match
Racing, and at the Rolex Miami OCR it will be a fight between Olivia Price/Nina
Curtis/Lucinda Whitty and Nicky Souter/Jessica Eastwell/Katie Spithill for a
position on Australia’s Olympic team.  The country to beat, however, is
most definitely the USA.  In fact, during this quadrennium, there has not
been a single World Cup event where the U.S. has not been on the podium.
Anna Tunnicliffe (Plantation, Fla., USA) /Molly Vandemoer (Stanford,
Calif.) /Debbie Capozzi (Bayport, N.Y.) set the bar high in Perth by taking the
gold, but Sally Barkow (Nashotah, Wis.) / Elizabeth Kratzig-Burnham (Miami,
Fla.) / Alana O’Reilly (Charleston, S.C., USA) are proven stars as well. 
(Tunnicliffe is the current ISAF Rolex World Sailor of the Year and Rolex
Yachtswoman of the Year.)  France’s Claire Leroy/Elodie Bertrand/Marie
Riou and Great Britain’s Lucy Macgregor/Annie Lush/Kate Macgregor are other
safe bets for finishing in the top five. Talent-wise, match racing is one of
the strongest disciplines, and with 25 teams entered thus far, there are
several more who could go all the way, including Spain’s Tamara Echegoyen/Sofia
Toro/Angela Pumariega and Finland’s Silja Lehtinen/Silja Kanerva/Mikaela Wulff.

Fresh off of some fierce Paralympic competition at the
IFDS Worlds, which wrapped up this past weekend in Charlotte Harbor, Fla.,
sailors in the 2.4mR, SKUD-18 and Sonar classes are counting on top Rolex Miami
OCR performances to propel them to the next level.

The 2.4mR class is 29-boats deep, with already six more
boats attending than were seen at the Worlds, and it will be most interesting
to watch Mark LeBlanc (New Orleans, La., USA), John Ruf (Pewaukee, Wis., USA)
and Charles Rosenfeld (Woodstock, Conn., USA) battle for a berth on the U.S.
team for the 2012 Paralympic Games, which will be determined after the final
race here. Some international names to watch include the top three IFDS podium
finishers: gold medalist and defending Rolex Miami OCR champion Damien Seguin
(FRA), silver medalist Thierry Schmitter (NED) and bronze medalist Paul Tingley
(CAN).

As is the case for the U.S. in 2.4mRs, so too is it that
the Rolex Miami OCR serves as the second part of the SKUD and Sonar Paralympic
Team Trials, where sailors keep their overall finish from the IFDS Worlds and
combine it with their overall finish here to determine who gets the Paralympic
berth.  Duking it out in SKUD class will be Jennifer French (St.
Petersburg, Fla., USA) and Jean-Paul Creignou (St. Petersburg, Fla., USA), who
took the silver medal at the Worlds, and three-time Rolex Miami OCR defending
champions Scott Whitman (Brick, N.J.) and Julia Dorsett (Boca Raton, Fla.).
With only seven boats in the fleet (there were eight at the
Worlds), including the World Champions Alexandra Rickham and Niki Birrell
(GBR), there will be pressure-cooker emphasis on putting boats between
themselves and the competition.

Having just won bronze at the Worlds, Rolex Miami OCR
defending champions John Robertson, Hannah Stodel and Steve Thomas (GBR) are
favored in the Sonar class.  John Twomey (IRE) also has made a name for
himself in this class as has Udo Hessels, Marcel van de Veen and Mischa Rossen
(all FRA), and all four American teams competing will have to step up their
game to successfully juggle toppling these hard-hitters as they go at it hard
to secure an Olympic berth.

US Sailing’s Rolex Miami OCR, established in 1990, is
open to boats competing in events chosen for the Olympic and Paralympic Sailing
Competitions. The 10 Olympic classes for 2012 are: Laser Radial (women), Laser
(men), Finn (men), Men’s RS:X, Women’s RS:X, 49er (men), Men’s 470, Women’s
470, Star (men) and Elliot 6m (women). The three Paralympic classes are: 2.4mR
(open), SKUD (mixed) and Sonar (mixed).

For fleet racing in the Olympic classes, the Rolex Miami
OCR will consist of a five-day opening series (Monday – Friday) and a
double-point medal race (Saturday). The top 10 finishers in the opening series
of each class will advance to the medal race. For match racing (Elliott 6m),
which makes its debut in the 2012 Olympic Games, the regatta will consist of an
opening series, a knockout series, and a sail-off for boats not advancing to
the knockout series.  Competitors in the Paralympic classes will have five
days of fleet racing (Monday-Friday) and no medal race.

Medals will be awarded to the top three boats in each
Olympic and Paralympic class on Saturday, January 28.

Regatta Headquarters will be located at the US Sailing
Center Miami, an official Olympic training center, in the Coconut Grove section
of Miami, Fla. Event organizers have partnered with the city of Miami to
provide world-class venues for competition. Additional hosts for the event
include Coral Reef Yacht Club, Key Biscayne Yacht Club, Coconut Grove Sailing
Club, Miami Rowing Club and Shake-a-Leg Miami. These sailing organizations host
classes onshore, as well as help run the on-the-water racing. The Coral Reef
Yacht Club also hosts the Opening and Closing Ceremonies.

Sail1Designer of the Month- January: Henry Marshall

by Leave a Comment

By Elizabeth Dudley, Airwaves writer
 

A 7th grader at Buckingham Brown  and Nichols school in Cambridge, Massachusetts, blue fleeter Henry Marshall is the overall Opti winner for the 2011 Orange Bowl hosted by Coral Reef Yacht Club in South Florida.  Beating out second place by only two points, and third place by only three, Marshall was excited but knows he has to keep a level head and look forward to his future events. Marshall was introduced to sailing at a very young age by his family.  He, his parents, and his brothers Jack and William took off around the time Marshal was in kindergarten and lived and sailed on a boat for two years. They visited places like the Caribbean and even sailed across the Atlantic Ocean to the Mediterranean.  Since then, and understandably so, Marshall has always loved being near the water.

 

A member of Team FAST based out of Newport, Rhode Island since 2008, Marshall says he became addicted to the sport after sailing his first Green Fleet regatta.  He says “I loved the aspect of racing and I have always been very competitive by nature so [sailing] was a good fit”.  His brothers have also found and enjoyment in competitive sailing.  As with many sailing families, it is a family affair.

With Team FAST, practice days consist of a morning workout, six to eight hours on the water, and then a long debrief at the end of the day.  Marshall says he loves being a part of the team; that joining Team FAST was how he made his first transition from simple summer sailing to a more serious racing focus on the sport.  Although while school is in session he says does not get to sail nearly as much as he would like to.

For Marshall, FAST has changed the way he sails and clearly in a very positive way.  He says, “The coaches at FAST take personal interest in you and your style and really help you break it down to a simple problem or aspect”.  At only twelve years old, with a few good years left in an Opti, he has placed 21st at Opti Midwinters hosted by Southern Yacht Club in New Orleans, 18th at the IODA Asians in Singapore, 1st at CORK in Kingston, Ontario, and 4th at the Southeast Championships in Marco Island.  Focusing on being consistent and taking one race at a time he says is the key to his success: worrying about his performance minute by minute and not necessarily the regatta as a whole.

Two weeks ago in Miami, Marshall did just that: finishing top five in seven of the nine races.  When asked about his mindset after the two races where he finished out of the top five he said, “You just have to take your races one at a time and stay focused”. Going in to the final race of Orange Bowl, Marshall, who does not typically keep an eye on scores, was fully aware that he was in a position to win the regatta.  After calculating Will Logue’s scores, who was then in first, Marshall knew he had to place himself in the top five the final race and so said he “played a covering game around the gate”, keeping things conservative.  Earning himself a third place finish in the final race of the event, Marshall was successful.

But even with such an exciting win under his belt, Marshall is already looking ahead to his next event: the USODA Team Trials which will be hosted by Brant Beach Yacht Club in New Jersey in late April.  Doing well at this event is Marshall’s current short term goal.  He says, “I hope to do well there but there are some really great sailors in the Opti class who will be big names in sailing soon enough”. 
It seems to me though that Henry Marshal is one of those threats. Long term, Marshall hopes to continue competitive dinghy sailing in the United States as well as abroad with the hopes of reaching the top of the Opti circuit.  When asked what advice he might give young sailors looking to achieve success in their sailing he simply says, “Train hard. Never give up.”

Watch out for Henry Marshall, and Congratulations!!

2 Americans in the top 20 of 2011 Optimist World Championship

Singapore’s Kimberly Lim 2011 OptiWorlds Champion

Monday, 09 January 2012 02:33

The Delta Flag was raised at 10.41, meaning that racing would start at 11.41.
It didn’t take the 210 sailors long at all to get out onto the water. The wind was very mild, around 10 knots, but the sun came back out again.
Protests from yesterday’s racing had been processed and when the updated provisional results were published, there was a change on the leadership board. Ryan Lo had to give up his third position to Javier Arribas who was previously fourth.
The first fleet started the race at 1208, but all reaces were abandoned at 1308. The wind was too light for the strong current and sailors were not able to make progress around the course. At 1350 the Race Committee decided to start race 12 again, but at 1427 the very hard call was made to abandon all races for the day which means that the World Championships are over.
The 2011 World Champion Optimist Dinghy Sailing is Kimberly Lim from Singapore.

Orange Bowl Youth Regatta c420, Laser, Radial, 4.7 & Opti Green Results

by Leave a Comment

ORANGE BOWL REGATTA ENDS WITH A BLIZZARD

South Florida may not have snowstorms but the white sails on Biscayne Bay looked like a blizzard of boats on the bay.   Today was the final day of racing for Miami’s 2011 Orange Bowl International Youth Regatta. There were 559 sailors completing four days of sunshine, sailing, swimming in the pool and social activities. In addition to sailing, there were card games going on in the Club house, kids playing catch with their Orange Bowl rubber balls on the lawn and coaches talking to their teams surrounded by parents and siblings.
The Optimist Red/Blue/White class was the largest class with over 200 sailors. They all had a great time. For London, England’s Robbie King, it was his third Orange Bowl Regatta. A top ranked Blue Fleeter, Robbie said: “it is a fun event and makes for great practice.” Robbie finished 8th in the Blue Fleet. J.J. Johnson is a very lucky Opti White Fleet sailor because last year a British gal won an Opti sailboat in the regatta raffle and could not ship it back to England. J.J.’s grandparents bought it and hid it in their garage. After J.J. successfully finished his FCAT school testing, his grandparents sent him to the garage where he found his great surprise. He named his boat Sea Dog. Simon Gomez came all the way from Columbia to sail in his first Orange Bowl. He is in the White Fleet. “I made some new friends”, Gomez said. “And I really liked Obie, the Orange Bowl mascot.”
The results are as follows:
The Laser Full-Rig class had some very competitive “Olympic type” racing going on. For the leader, Greg Martinez from Texas Corinthian Yacht Club outside of Houston, it was his 4th and last Orange Bowl. He won it by 18 points. “It is a good way to end it,” he said. “My favorite thing about the OB is all the new sailors…the new faces.” Eighteen year-old Greg plans to sail varsity next year in college. Eric Lawrence, Dodge Rees and Luke Muller followed him in the results.
In the 99 boat Laser Radial Class, Michigan’s Mitchell Kiss held onto first place with a 15 point lead. Avery Fanning from South Carolina was second with Puerto Rico’s Juan Perdomo in third place. Erika Reineke from Lauderdale Yacht Club was the top girl.
Florida’s St. Petersburg Yacht Club dominated the Laser 4.7 class with Patrick Shanahan, Liam McCarthy and Nic Baird in the top three.
The beginner (and younger) Optimist Green Fleet was “ladies first” with Miami’s Julia Johannson  (age 10) winning it all. Despite her challenging last two races, she managed to hold on to her lead over Santiago Pacheco from Santo Domingo and Alex Gonzalez from Florida’s Upper Keys and still won by 19 points.
The Optimist Red/Blue/White class lived up to its spirited image with the top three sailors finishing 3 points apart. Will Logue started out the day in 1st place but his 20th place in the last race pushed him down to 3rd. Blue Fleeter Henry Marshall and Blue Fleeter Wiley Rogers passed him with finishes in the last two races totaling 6 points and 8 points.
The 420s had a tight regatta with only 11 points between the top three teams. Chicago Yacht Club’s Alex Curtiss and Daniel Ron won it all followed by Charlie Lalumiere and Elizabeth Pemberton from Portland, Maine in 2nd and Jack Jorgensen and Savanna Brown from Santa Barbara, California were 3rd. The top 420 All-Girl Team was Allyson Donahue and Maddie Widmeier from Brigantine Yacht Club in New Jersey.
The trophies included the Magnus Liljedahl Sportsmanship Award. Magnus is CRYC’s Olympic Gold Medalist sailor. His award is for courteous actions and fairness with other competitors and the Race Committee. There were 41 nominations. This year it was presented to a team from California who were helpful to their fellow sailors by coaching them prior to the start. They also stood out when they were disqualified by a Black Flag (over the line early) and came back by the Race Committee Signal Boat to apologize for possibly leading others over the line early. They were Chris Villicich and Nikki Obel from Marina del Rey.

The regatta, an Orange Bowl Festival event, is hosted by Coral Reef Yacht Club (CRYC) in cooperation with Lauderdale Yacht Club (LYC), Biscayne Bay Yacht Club, Shake-A-Leg Miami and the US Sailing Center Miami. It is a huge undertaking with over 150 volunteers from the support clubs plus landside volunteers from the Orange Bowl Committee. The Regatta Chair Henry Chau says he could not have done it all without Assistant Chair Pat Ficaro,
Wendy Kamilar and PC Carol Ewing. The Principle Race Officers were CRYC’s Bill Scheuermann – Optimist Green Fleet, CRYC’s Jaime Ramon – Optimist Red/Blue/White and LYC’s Tom Lihan. Chief Judge was CRYC’s Sharon Bourke.
sponsors were McLaughlin, KO Sailing, Dinghy Locker @ Landfall, Laser Performance and the Orange Bowl Committee. The other sponsors are listed on the regatta website.
