a STAR BOATS-Finale at Lake Springfield The final weekend for Chicago starboaters ended as normal in Springfield with the fourth district finale on October I I -12. This year's finale was another unforgettable series for the 80 skippers

and crews. Bill Parks came awaY the winner as the premier C.Y.C. represen-

tative.

I was convinced that proper preparation was the key to success at a regatta

in foreign seas so I arrived at Lake Springlield at about 8:00 P.M. Friday evening and stepped the mast in the dark. Saturday morning I was the first with sails bent on and I had repaired a few items and cold tuned the rig in the lot prior to proceeding to the hoist. As my boat was beginning to get wet, Bill Parks pulled into the lot with his unprepared boat in tow, 30 minutes before the harbor start. Bill left Springfield wrth a confident glou'. first place trophl and 39 .lealous skippers in his path * hrle I lefr *ith a last place finish. and a customrzed t*o'piece mast. PreF aration mav not be the ansner.

ing a disabled boat allowed me to take

full advantage of Agnes Wright's binoculars to view the first race. Bill and Bob had their boat on a steadY Plane

down the first reach in the flat seas.

Others got on a plane but Parks & Co. sustained it with unbelievable balance.

The reaches were nearly breathtaking to watch from shore but the beats were most interesting. On rare occasions a Star race becomes a boat speed test and in this case the untamed Shrew had a speed margin that was perceptible from a good distance away Betrv lcCourte (guest of the Nugents)

if only from the size and length ofthe

bow wave. The first race ended with

Bill a full minute ahead of the second place boat and the onlY boats close during the whole race were Bill Wright and Todd Cozzens.

The race course is only 100 yards off the club house of the Island Bay Yacht Club which provides not only an excel-

lent view for the gallery but allows contestants to come in and dock for lunch between races. This seems much more civilized than wdnging your soaked

sandwich from a box lunch while trimming the mainsheet.

The second race was sailed in winds

not dissimilar from the first. The race probably both made and destroYed Mark Kastell's entire summer. With the help of good boat sPeed and aPpropriate use of the shifts Mark became the pacer for the first five of the six legs only to lose out on the shifts on the final beat. Parks was first and Jack

Rickard, our Wilmette friend, was second.

The continuing ritual of the Saturday evening cocktails party was carried on in Springfield at the elegant quarters of Sharon and Rob Penrod.

The Penrods proved a bit surprised to

find seven members of the Chicago contingent at their door 30 minutes

before the scheduled commencement of the festivities.

Knight Coolidge convinced us all that Jack Daniels was already there, and somebody must be the first to park

in the driveway anyway. In true Star tradition it was an excellent party.

Sunday morning's breeze was both docile and fickle. Dave Cornes was so convinced the breeze was totally innocuous, he put his boat in the water for the first time since June of this year.

Dave had been waiting for the light air just so he could beat Parks, which he nearly did. Todd Cozzens narrowlY missed a third place finish only to see the wind depart when he was three lengths from the finish line. Bill Parks finished tenth to give him onlY a one

point edge for the regatta.

It was a well run regatta on an

enjoyable sailing lake, and Susan and I will be there in '81.

Tl Stuns lndustry With New Loran C Feature Texas lnstruments has just announced that the TI 9900 Loran Receiver will be

compatible with the NEW SYNTHESIZED SPEECH accessory to be available in 1981.

Imagine, you will be able to purchase an accessory (9900's will not be

factory equipped) which will call out warnings and provide spoken course data-"You are three tenths of a nautical mile to the right of the rhumb line." or "Your course is 63o true at a speed of 7.2 knots."

The feature will allow programming

of 160 words and 60 phrases into 4 different speech modes. Frequency of spoken output is variable from continuous to 60 minute delay.

Also included in this accessory will be the Input/ Output interface for connecting an Autopilot to the Loran.

This unbelievable option includes a plug-in, water tight speaker and case.

Sailing Association met at the Belmont station on November 10. The group voted to change the name to Chicago Women's Yachting Association so that women of power boat persuasion would feel welcome. The group will concentrate on improving the boating skills through study and practice. Lectures will be given on seamanship, boat handling, knots and splices, rules and tactics, weather watching and basic navigation. Summer will

bring opportunity to practice with

boats of the racing fleet on balmy (we hope) summer evenings.

Next meeting will be December 8, at Belmont. The textbook is "Chapmans" and chapter 9 will be discussed, and first lesson in basic navigation will be demonstrated. Meetings are from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. No food service on

I said earlier that Jimmy Hoddle would get revenge on LALLA and he sure did! Master Hoddle on BRITA is the new season champion, having won the A and C series championships, and

coming in a close second to JAVELIN

on the B series championshiP. In the light air, he was able to set the pace going up wind and destroy every-

one on the down wind legs. In the heavy air, he was not intimidated although I must admit that LALLA was more than a match for him in the heavier air. Congratulations to Jimmy and BRITA on their stunning victory.

BRITA won the Series A chamPionship with the wind howling at twenty to thirty knots. It was an A-4 and BRITA and LALLA each had a first and a second. It was a fast raceand the

and attempted to set her spinnaker.

BRITA blew by and LALLA was not able to catch her. You may ask where was JAVELIN. JAVELIN was not about to spend the summer sinking.

It was as if Neptune himself was riding with JAVELIN on the B series.

She posted A series firsts and tightened

up the whole fleet. Don Jirka was going for a third straight season's

championship and if any other boat wanted it, they were going to have to take it away from him.

The B series was a continuous set of match races between JAVELIN and BRITA. It was soon apparent that the season's championship would come

down to the last races of the C series.

By this time, LALLA still had a chance albeit remote. RUSH, with Karen Prendler back at the helm, and Gina and Bill Hall crewing, were caus-

ing the pack to take note that theY sailed in our fleet too. BRITA, however, pressed on, with JimmY at the helm and David Prendler on the foredeck. We could all hear their incessant

chatter, causing the bo4t to surge ahead and win the C series and the season's championshiP.

The season's highlights were fleet captain Tim von Aschwege assuring us all that in fact SOLVE did exist. Fleet secretary Kathy Doore assuring Tim that in fact his boat does exist.

The wild crazy summer rafting party and the Red Horse dinner, when on both occasions the 22 and Udell fleets proved that we are a strong 22 square meter association.

Very lovely!!

The leader board showed that ONDINE had to fight very hard to again win the Season Championship; His average score per race for the 8 requted races was 3 I 4 of a point. Rumor has it that his average winning time margin over the second place boat was two days. But John, Wait till next year-!

Did you see that 4 x 6 foot protest flag given to Craig Travis that says "Protest by Craig?" Next year the entire fleet is going to have one and they are all going to say'PROTEST ONDINE!'

Third place for the season that went by so quickly for this author, went to that venerable gentleman Doug Turnbull and SKIPJAK. Doug, look that one up in your dictionary, if you have one. The difference between second and third place was decided at the last

race of the year-and WINDJAK, skippered by Steve Ameluxen, beat Doug and SKIPJAK by 2 or 3 seconds for second place in the race and first in Series C. Jerry Hodlmair-a true sports-

man-felt so badly about Doug's narrow defeat that he gave Doug a hand-

Now that Dave has invested all that mental effort in these nice people, they are NOT available to others. We need them for the War of '81. This author is extremely indebted to Dave for racing the boat this year and keeping her competitive. The "Master Skipper", Peter McKinney, stepped aboatd to compete for the only two trophys he has never won, the Reimers and the Nutting. With Dave Kipley bleeding on the fordeck he carved out a clean sweep of all 3 races in the Reimers Regatta and a l-2-l finish in the Nutting for the first place trophy. He then bowed, accepted the accolades due and opened a sailing school-for tax reasons of course.

Mr. Protest, CraigTravis on VINST and FOCUS skippered by Tom Ryerson tied for 7 for the season. At times, both boats showed good potential with a 2 for FOCUS and a 3 for VI\ST.

Poor KONA is still crushed by the fact that her bottom has not been wet for 2 years. Bob Christie has worked hard and should have her ready by next year. In the mean time, he has been getting lessons in humility from Mayhew and Grolle,-neither one of whom is qualified to teach the subject.

UDELLS continued from page 8.

Udell fleet-and she does not even have the honor of the title. Maria, you are the most creative, hardest working, most energetic29year old I've everhad the pleasure of knowing. If you and Judy Housten will keep up the good

work, I'll be Fleet Captain again in 1981.

In the matter of sails. We all know that ONDINE's are much larger than ours so we will have a measuring party

on Friday December 5th at 6 p.m.

Hopefully, we can do this at Belmont where the unpure among you can get a drink. Only sails that have been measured may be used in 1981.

The word "spinnaker" is enough to start a conversation. Many yachts need new ones so we shall measure, read rules, plan and do battle and come up with a new 3 year plan that will work.

If you want your ideas heard, show up at Belmont on Friday, Oct. 24th at 6 p.m.

This author feels compelled to advise you that he has been resting during the 1980 season for the sole purpose of generating enough strength to humiliate you-all of you-in 1981. He is

even going to a sailing school to be taught by Dennis Conner this winter.

Ted Turner called and offered me lessons but I felt constrained to thank him while graciously declining. After all, he did lose this year!!

But enough of my secret plans. It shall suffice to caution you all to be on

your guard for the coming season as I intend to be shot frequently by the Winners Cannon. Actually, I could have raced a lot this year but Warwick, who never beats me, would not give me

a note for Norma saying it was all right. A rotten conspiracy!
