part workshop that goes through the US Sailing Racing Rules of Sailing 2009-2012. If you are unable to make either of these dates, we are planning on having a repeat session during the late spring/early summer. That one will likely be a one-day workshop, but taking all day.

Commodore’s Corner We are now only one month away from the official launch date and it is snowing again. We have been lucky thus far with the warm weather and lack of significant snow. I just hope that Old-Man Winter does not try to hang on longer to make up for it! Some of us were lucky enough to escape for a brief time to some warmer weather and sailing over the winter. In fact, as this is published, I imagine that there is a large group enjoying some Pain Killers (the drink) or other varieties of rum drinks, on some sandy beach in the Caribbean. If you guys are reading this now, while down there, STOP! You shouldn’t be checking your email while on vacation! Enjoy the sun and the wind. Stay safe and happy. The closest I was able to get to that luxury this year was a recent trip to Florida, where some fellow ACSA members and Sandusky Sailing Club members joined forces to enter the 2012 Sailing World NOOD Regatta in St. Petersburg, FL. If you want to read more on that experience, you can find in in my article later in the newsletter, called Sailing in the NOOD. As we come into March, we are preparing for the many activities that precede the sailing season. The first of these is the Racing Rules Workshop. This is held the last two weeks in February on Wednesday nights (to help us get ready for Wednesday Night Red Cup racing). This is a two-

The next big event will be the Dock Pick/Dock Swap day. This is scheduled for Saturday, March 10 at Gordy’s restaurant in Westerville. This is the day that dockholders have the opportunity to move to any newly available docks and open docks are assigned to people on the wait-list. This is also the event where we hand out subleases for any that are available. Our Rear Commodore, Gordon Fowler has provided a much more detailed explanation about what to expect at the Dock Pick day, so please read his article. Another big activity will be our facility Work Party day on Saturday, March 24. There are plenty of tasks for everyone, so please come out and help. Again, our wonderful Rear Commodore, Gordon Fowler will be coordinating the activities on this day, so if you have any questions/suggestions/ comments, please let him know. Finally, I recently attended the Ohio Safe Boating Council (OSBC) quarterly meeting and had a chance to speak with ODNR about the ramp work. Everything is on schedule with the ramp work at the New Galena and Hollenback ramps. The Hollenback ramp is still scheduled to open on May 1, while the New Galena ramp (undergoing many more modifications) is on schedule to open on June 20. The new ramp facilities will provide much more area and dock space for the ramps, with the addition of new/wider ramp lanes and longer floating docks. There is a lot going on this month, so please keep your eye on theTwoList for information about Dock Pick day, the work party and all the other fun stuff the club is doing. I am looking forward to warmer weather so I can get my boat in the water! For those that are in the lower latitudes, please come home… we miss you. Remember, we have the March General Meeting on Monday March 5 at Gordy’s restaurant. Making Waves

Committee Training on the Race Committee Boat on April 18th and April 28th at 6:30 PM. You only need to attend one evening of this training. We plan on taking the race committee boat out on the water, giving everyone a chance to drive it, set an anchor, set a line, and run a start sequence. We will also work on docking, time permitting. Please try to send at least a crew member of two. If you can not attend and you need instruction, please try to get with me well in advance of your assigned Race Committee Night. If you choose to Race also during your Race Committee Night, be sure you have people who are comfortable in running the race committee boat.

Vice Commodore’s Report Sharla O’Keeffe

The warm weather makes me want to put the boat in the water and get ready to race. While we don’t have any races scheduled until April, we do have some racing activities coming up. On February 22 and 29 we will be presenting a free, two part racing rules seminar to any sail boat racers. The meeting will be from 6:30-9:00ish at Gordy’s. Our Commodore, Brent O’Keeffe, will be presenting this program. We always learn something new at these seminars and they are always worth attending. The official “Splash Day” may be April 1st, but with the ramps not being open until at least May 1, we will be postponing our Red Cup Series until May. Our first Red

JUN

Cup Race will be on May 2nd. First Race starts at 6:30 PM. The number of starts will depend on the number of participants. Keep an eye on the Two List for Registration information. Remember, signing up and paying for a full season saves money! $200.00 will pay for all three Red Cup Series’ and all weekend Regattas. As we have done for the past two years, if you register to race your boat name will by put into a hat and drawn for a date to serve as race committee. You may volunteer for a specific date if you wish to nail down a date early. A boat will receive the average of all of her races for a score for their race committee night. The Boat responsible for race committee is responsible for providing race committee who is capable of driving the race committee boat as well as running the start sequence and finishing boats. To prepare racers for this activity, there will be Race

We are planning on the Ice Breaker Regatta on April 21st. We will see how many boats we have in the water and interested in racing to determine if the race is on the water or on the hard. Last but definitely not least, there are a couple of additions to the racing calendar that are in addition to the Calendar reviewed during the January General Membership meeting. The Women’s Regatta will be on June 2nd and September 8th. The Single Hand Regatta will be on June 3rd and the XX/XY has been changed from a two day race to a single day race on September 9th. All races currently scheduled are pending final approval from the State. Any changes will be posted on the Race Calendar so keep an eye on it. We are looking forward to another great racing season.

Sailing in the NOOD Brent O’Keeffe On February 14, instead of having a nice, cozy Valentines dinner with my beautiful wife, Sharla, we decided to hook up the boat trailer and jump in the trunk with Bob Sheppard and Allison Foreman to drive down to Tampa Bay for the 2012 Sailing World NOOD Regatta. The NOOD regatta is not to be confused with a NUDE regatta! Yes, we are fully clothed, in fact one day we were in foul weather gear, but more on that in a bit. The NOOD regatta is the National Offshore One Design (NOOD) racing which is held in six locations across the North American continent, bring together many classes of boats to compete in onedesign class racing over a long weekend. The regatta is held over Friday-Sunday, with a daily reception after racing and awards on Friday. So, back to the trip… After spending a few days earlier in the week getting the boat, Whatta Schock #101 ready, we loaded the motors, fuel, batteries and all our sailing gear and hit the road at about 5:00PM, just in time for rush hour traffic on 270.

AUG

After spending about an hour getting out of Columbus, it was smooth sailing (pun intended) to Florida. After many cups of coffee and gas-station junk food, we pulled into the St. Petersburg Yacht Club (SPYC) around noon the next day. We met our other teammates, Mike Fishbaugh and Kara Smith, both from Sandusky Sailing Club at the facility. Raising the mast went fairly smooth. The hardest part was keeping Bob away from the lines and making him watch, as he was still recovering from his surgery. He really wanted to help, but we wouldn’t let him. After getting the mast raised and the stays secured, we moved the boat over to the crane to lift it off the trailer and into the water. That too went ver smooth. Time for a celebratory rum drink… After loading the boat up, it was time to move the boat to the sailing docks, located in a different area. Unfortunately, nobody on the boat knew exactly how to get there, so we ended up going on a one hour cruise around the St. Petersburg pier area, trying to find the right place. Okay, maybe we should have waited for that rum drink. The next day was tune up and practice day. The weather was beautiful and wind perfect.

We got the boat tuned up, which includes ensuring the mast is centered and straight, the correct tension on the different shrouds and all the rigging properly run. We loaded up people and supplies and headed out to the bay to do some warm-up sailing and practice our boat handling skills. For the upwind maneuvers, we put up different sails, play with upwind trim settings, practice numerous tacks and pretended to be sailing against imaginary boats and such. We then moved on you flying the different spinnakers, getting a feel for their properties, while again, practicing many maneuvers, such as hoists, gybes and takedowns. We spend about 4 hours on the bay, enjoying the perfect 80 degree warm 12 kt winds and bright sun. This was a perfect day. That night we met up with some other fellow Ohio sailers and enjoyed some good stories and friendship. We agreed to all meet early the next morning and do some pre-race drills together and act as each other’s tuning partner. Day 1 - The next morning welcomed us with warm weather and zero wind. We arrived at the docks, at a prearranged time and the race postponement flag was hoisted and sounded on the SPYC yardarm. There was not enough wind to race. After a few

After a few hours, we got restless and felt enough breeze to go around and sail on our own, while we waited for the Race Committee to agree with us. Just after we left the dock, we hoisted the main sail and the motor died (I accidentally left the vent on the tank closed). To our amazement, we were able to sail out to the bay without the motor. The wind was typical Alum Creek shiftiness, but finally settled into a nice steady 5-6 kt. breeze. The Race Committee finally agreed with our choice and decided to come out and join us and the dozen or so other boats on the bay, so they dropped the postponement and sent the rest of the boats out. After a coupe more hours, they set the course and started sending boats off. It was still fairly light air, so they decided on a short course with three legs. As we were the 5th start on our course and they were not doing rolling starts, it was about 45 min before we finally got to begin our race. The start went great. Our skipper, Mike put us in a great pole-position on the line, right next to the RC signal boat. Unfortunately, we were getting bad air from the boat to our leeward and we fell back to a third place position. Many of the boats ended up having to go back to restart, as they were called over the line early. The upwind leg was great. The air was light, and we were fast. We rounded the windward mark within one boat length of the 2nd place boat, Speed Racer and three boats of the first place, Schock Therapy. We hoisted the spinnaker and after about 5 minutes the wind shut off like a light switch. It was a tough battle, working our way down the course, trying to pass Speed Racer, while trying to protect ourselves from the boats behind us. After about an hour long battle, the decided to finish us at the leeward gate. It was very close, but Speed Racer was able to keep clear of the bad air we were sending her way and we finished in 3rd place. Tat was it for day 1. Day 2 – repeat of day 1. No wind, but this time, there really was zero wind… all day. We decided to try the trick of going out to the course to bring the wind with us. That didn’t happen. Instad we went out and floated around while the dolphins swam an jumped around us. It was a nice day to get a suntan. At 3:00, the Race Committee finally cancelled the races for the day and sure enough, not five minutes after they cancelled, the wind whipped up dead calm

SEPT

glassy water to a pleasant 5-7 kts. Oh well, off to the party and dinner reception. At least we are still in 3rd place. Day 3 – As predicted, a storm front cam through, brining with it 15-20 kt breeze, building to 20s, gusting to the 30s. It was honking and raining. We rigged the boat to be able to reef the mainsail. We got the blade jib ready to go. The races started on time and, as before we started about 45 min after the first fleets. The plan was to run as many races as possible today to make up for the lack of races on the earlier days. We were going to get a good workout! Again, Captain Mike put us in great position on the starting line, fast, and making up position on some of the boats that got ahead of us. Unfortunately, we got stuck in some bad air and slipped back a spot. The upwind was a great ride. We had a good balance of power and speed in the sails, but the wind was building fast and the waves big. At the windward mark, we were right in the middle of the pack. We decided that if we were going to be competitive, we needed to put up the spinnaker, instead of taking the safe route with jus the jib. The hoist went well and we cleared the jib fine, the the wind built even more. The boat was rigged more for lighter air and no downhaul on the spinnaker pole. As mike headed downwind we brought the pole back and tried to choke it down, but a gust grabbed the sail and sent the pole high. The trimmer tried to let the sheet run, but a knot jammed in the block and we started our death roll. After the third heavy roll, we rounded up and broached. Two crew were thrown to the low side, in the water, but still in the boat. The boom jibed and missed everyone, thank goodness.

start line, getting ready for the next race, the wind continued to build into the mid 25s, gusting into the 30s and we all decided, as a crew, that we had enough fun for the weekend. We preferred to not have anyone get hurt or break anything on the boat. I think Bob was happy with both of those reasons. We had come to Florida in February and sailed in the sun and wind, enjoyed some great times with even greater friends. We headed back to the docks. Back at the docks, we realized that we were exhausted, but, we still had a lot of work to do. Reversing the operation of getting the boat to sail is getting the boat to haul back to Ohio. We unloaded the boat and derigged all the lines, boom, sails and such. We headed over to the lift to pull the boat. After struggling a while pulling the boat, not realizing that the wet sails on the boat had changed the center of gravity. After figuring this out and pulling all the gear off the boat, it loaded onto the trailer just fine. Next we took the mast down and tied everything up for transport. Before hitting the road, we said our goodbyes to friends and took some showers to clean up. It was a long and tiresome drive back to the cold and snow in Ohio, especially after getting a sunburn! It was a great time and I recommend that anyone with some free time and a racing urge attend the regatta. It is an annual event around the same time every year. Big thanks to Bob Sheppard who arranged the whole program. I imagine it would be a whole other story just on arranging for such an even as this. We had a blast.

We were able to release the halyard to get the boat upright. After taking a crew inventory, we got the boat back upright and pulled the spinnaker back onboard, stowing it down below and making sure the rigging was ready to put it back up. We hoisted the jib and got back in the race. At this time, we had fallen back into last place, but not too far back. Our final upwind leg, we made up quite a bit of distance and were pressing close to the boat ahead, but were not able to pull enough magic out of the hat. We finished that race in last, with a few bruises. On the way back down the course to the
