Spring is starting to show up here in the Midwestand a sailors thoughts are drawn to the upcomingsailing season. Whether a racer, a cruiser, or just afair winds sailor, the warmer (and longer) days area relief after the cold and mostly indoor activitiesof winter.It seems the east is a little ahead of us as they hadtheir LNYC regatta with nine boats in attendance.Reports are that it was very breezy on Saturday andno races were held. As disappointing as that may have been, I am glad theracers considered the conditions and used appropriate judgment. Although Ifeel I can sail in many conditions, there is always that nagging suspicion thatthere is a weak shroud, spreader, halyard or chainplate just waiting to fail at thenext big gust. Now is a good time to inspect your boat and be prepared.I had the pleasure of attending North Americas at Huntington Lake last July. Ifyou have not made a NA’s, it is a great way to meet and compete against someof the best SJ sailors in the country. This year, the Midwest is having NA’s inOctober on Lake Hefner at the Oklahoma City Boat Club. OCBC will do a finejob as they have hosted many national regattas. Lake Hefner is almost circular,so no matter where the wind is from, a good course can always be set. It wouldbe great to have representatives from the east and the west so it can truly be aNA’s. Also, I would like to see some of our Canadian SJ friends. With thefavorable exchange rate, now would be a great time to visit and extend yoursailing season a little.It looks like Western and Eastern Nationals are being held at the same time thisyear. I am torn as to which one to attend. The Eastern is much closer, so thatwill probably be my choice, but the Western folks really did a great job makingthe visitors feel welcome.By the way, I saw a note that the Seattle NOOD is tentatively planning for a SanJuan fleet. Please keep us informed. If someone will lend me a boat, I mayattend. A number of years ago at the NOOD in Houston some of the Midwestsailors entered their San Juan’s and had a great time.I want to take this opportunity to thank Jim Hubbard for his great San Juanwebsite. I check it several times each week and have found it to be a greatresource for information about our great boat.If anyone has questions or comments (concerns or criticisms), feel free tocontact me at [email protected]. Or call me at 620-627-2132. Thanks, -Neal Barkley

West Vice-Commodore- Chris Popich

Hello All,I might as well get the introductions out of theway. My name is Chris Popich and I sail withFleet 1 - Seattle. I’ve sailed since the early 1970s,actually owning a SJ21 from ’76 - ’77. From theearly 80s until 1998 I took a sabbatical fromsailing. Swim team, Little League, softball andsoccer with my kids took up any spare time.Practices and tournaments replaced cruising and

regattas. The bonus from all those activities is that my 3 kids were reallylearning all the attributes that make great crew, and now as young adults it’spayback time for all those hours on the field. I never have to single hand. I’ve been active with the fleet since 1998 when I rescued #40 from under an oldfir tree nearby in Federal Way (south of Seattle). Old “Wooglin” cleaned upnicely and after hundreds of trips to the marine store for all those small brown$100.00 paper sacks, I had her set up just the way I wanted. During that processI’ve tried to help our small group of sailors try and build the fleet. You wouldthink that would be an easy task in a sailing hotbed like Seattle, but not so.Since we are not affiliated with a yacht club, getting exposure for our boats isour biggest challenge. Most sailors in the Northwest have heard of the San Juan21 but don’t know we are still active. In setting up our sailing schedule we’vetried to showcase the boat where there are lots of potential owners crewing onthose expensive racing machines. This year could be our best chance yet toshow off when we participate in the Sailing World - Sperry Topsider NoodRegatta at Shilshole Bay. So far we have 8 boats committed, but we need more.Think about it. We’ll have more information once the NOR comes out. Fornow you can go to www.sailingworld.com/nood_regatta.jsp?location=2637.Check it out!In the 10 years I’ve been involved with fleet 1 there has been a gradual increasein participation. It has been slow, but it’s going in the right direction. Whatstarted out as 3-5 boats on a Saturday has now become 8-10. 1 or 2 races a dayhave become 3-5. We’ve actually had to book a larger room for our monthlymeetings. With our spring and fall series, along with 5 Road Warrior regattas,we’ll most likely get in close to 70 starts. I think I might even convince some ofour members to do the Western Nationals. They really should experience onebefore they get to host one again. It’s only at a Nationals that you can get a truefeel for what SJ21 sailing is all about. Mark your calendars now and do try toattend one of this year’s big three.For now, as the weather starts to warm up, it’s time to start pulling the covers offour boats and getting them ready for the upcoming season. This has newmeaning for me this spring since I have a new boat to put together. I didn’t plan

March/April 7

on a new retrofit project but I just couldn’t pass it up. My wife, Chris, thinks Iactually prefer tinkering with these boats to sailing them. Hey, it’s good therapy.Anyway, past Fleet 1 member, Shelley Dahlgren decided to put his boat up forsale recently. Turns out he purchased #986 from a young couple in West Seattlein 1977. They were selling it because they were starting a family and had justbought a new house. Priorities I guess. Shelley sailed the boat in the Tri-Citiesbefore moving to Seattle in the late 80’s. He attended many Nationals and alsoserved as the Chief Measurer. The boat has lived in his garage the past 10 yearsas health issues prevented Shelley from taking her out. Well, our Fleet 1webmaster posted a couple pictures in the “For Sale” section of our website so Itook a look. The curtains in the picture looked a lot like those Chris had madefor a boat we owned in the 70s. Could it be? I had to give Shelley a call. All ofthose “First Boat” stories started to flash back, like the week of solid rain in theSan Juan Islands, with Chris 6 months pregnant, or the time we got locked in thecabin at anchor. So I set up a time to go check the boat out with my oldestdaughter. We met Shelley at the door and introduced ourselves. He asked Juliaher age…31…I think he was starting to put the pieces together. He rolled up thegarage door and there, 31 years later, sat my first sailboat! Shelley said he hadseveral people interested in the boat, but I think he knew he had already foundthe new owner. I now have 2 boats stacked up in the driveway. And one more“First Boat” story!Chris PopichSJ21 #40 / #986

March/April 9

The 2008 San Juan 21 Western Nationals are to be held July 10 to12 at Coos Bay (Oregon) Yacht Club

The 2008 regional competition for sailors/racers of SJ 21’s is beingheld once more at the charming and rustic facilities of the CoosBay YC on Ten Mile Lake in Southwestern Oregon. The groundsof the club are situated on a bluff overlooking the spectacularinland lake which is located just inland from the Pacific Ocean andthe Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area, 12 miles north of thetwin communities of Coos Bay and North Bend. The lake, with itsmany bays and inlets, is known for strong and shifting windsresulting from its coastal location and the numerous nearby hillsthat deflect the steady summer winds off the ocean. The sailing canbe challenging.

The Yacht Club is hosting the event for the sixth time (most re-cently in 2004) and the membership has a tradition of hosting avery enjoyable event that is highlighted by the traditional salmonbarbecue on the awards evening. The docks are close to the racecourse so sailors can not only sail to and from the docks, but goashore between races and enjoy the camaraderie of fellow sailorsand families.

Among the other features of the Regatta –- camping spots and RV sites on site for no charge- camping trailers for rent- nearby motels- SJ 21 charters available- nearby recreational opportunities ( world-class golf

courses; coastal dunes; estuaries, bays, lakes, and rivers;etc)

- casual setting with no daily travel necessary- all-inclusive price for registration

Early registration is encouraged. Additional information can befound on the club website of www.coosbayyachtclub.org. Ques-tions can be directed to Jon Richards, Regatta Chair([email protected]; 541-756-1768); as well as Tom or JeanKyle, Registration Chairs ([email protected])

Fleet 1 Spring Race #1Well, it didn’t rain heavily on us today, just a couple ofsprinkles as 8 boats took to the waters off Coulon Park.Winds were light and faded to nothing by the end of race #2.We got to test out the new start line pins and the automatichorn. The pins are much more visible than the old ones(these have fluorescent orange flags and sit higher off thewater) and the auto horn worked well relieving me of much ofthe pressure of getting a good start. It’s also quite loud. Ihave to flip the switch to start it and start my stopwatch so Ican’t plug my ears, I’ll need to start wearing hearing protec-tion during races but it’s well worth it.In Race #1, BoB got a great start and lead to the weathermark. I was thinking maybe he will step up and stop Wooglin.Unfortunately, Wooglin’s spinnaker put him ahead by theleeward mark and he settled for second.Mike Dukes aboard his new boat he has named “No Excuse”had crew for the day and was able to use his spinnaker tocome from behind and ended up third. Scout took fourth inboth the first and second races.In the second race, the winds died to nothing. Wooglin againtook first with No Excuse second and Bob Third.Jim Miller aboard Jessie, a new boat to Fleet 1 this year, waslate getting into the water so ended up getting a late start butdue to Charmed Juan hitting the finish line pin and had torefinish ended up in seventh in the first race and sixth in thesecond.There must of been some sort of altercation in the first racebetween Limpet and Habagat as Habagat did a 720 turn. Weonly have a 360 penalty rule so either he fouled twice or hereally did something bad and wanted to make amends.Limpet was 5th and Habagat 6th.Results are posted on the website at http://www.sj21fleet1.org/?Racing:2008_Race_scoring

LNYC SJ 21 Mid Winters Regatta 8, 9 March 2008

You know there probably will be some wind the next day when you aretrailering your boat to Lake Norman Yacht Club in a blinding rain storm (betterthan snow!) Friday afternoon. The wind forecast for Saturday was for sustainedwinds of 30 mph with gusts up to 50. Therefore, most of the skippers did not puttheir masts up on Friday.

Saturday morning was bright sunshine and the winds were smack on. When theRC raised the AP, we decided to go to Plan B.

Zoe Dommel had determined the night before that the local brewery was havingtours Sat. afternoon. So the crews of Scuba Kat (SK), Road Runner (RR) andWhite Knuckles (WK) headed for the brewery for the tour and subsequentsampling. Highlight of the tour was to drink fresh beer right out of the fermenta-tion tank before the beer goes through final filtering and is carbonated forbottling. Carolina Blonde Brewery claims to be the largest mircro brewery or thesmallest major brewery in the Southeast.

Masts were raised and Juans splashed after returning from the tour.

Saturday eve the RC posted that the racing would start an hour earlier in anattempt to get three races in on Sunday. This was a double whammy to the crewsbecause of the change to DST Sat. night.

However, all the boats made it to the start on time.

Winds were forecast at 5 mph out of the West. There was some apprehensionthat with the light wind over the cold water that an inversion would develop asthe land heated up. However, the wind did remain on the water for three races,however, it was very shifty and constantly changing velocity.

In the first race, WK had a lead followed by SK at the leeward mark heading upthe right side of the course and the rest of the fleet was a minute or two behind.When they rounded the wind suddenly shifted to west and now they are liftedabove the finish line. SK and WK tacked to starboard in an attempt to head offRR. WK was able to cross just behind RR which immediately tacked on WK asthey headed for the finish line on a header. RR and WK had forgotten about SKwho was to leeward by a good length. When RR and WK next saw SK , she wastaking the sterns of RR and WK and by the time RR and WK tacked it wasalmost too late with RR just edging out SK by less than 6” for the win.

12 March/April

In the second race the RC set up a downwind finish. WK won the race with Ravenedging out RR by a foot.

The third race was won by WK who caughta left hand shift at the pin end and neverlooked back in the dying wind.

The real warrior of the event is CharlesSolvason (AKA “Curious Carlos”) whotrailered Raven all the way from Alabamafor the regatta.

The next regatta for Juaners in the immedi-ate area is the Tommy Whitesides MemorialRegatta at Lake Murray, SC on 19, 20April. Please plan on coming to enjoy thebrand new clubhouse at the ColumbiaSailing Club.

What happens when sails age?by Bill Lynn, reprinted from JYRA Newsletter as seen in Optinews

“Since you’re a sailmaker, would you write an article about when juniors shouldbuy new sails?” Well, you should buy new sails when your old ones don’t workright anymore, but since the only sure way to know is to lose a few races, let’slook at what sails are supposed to look like and what happens to them as theyget older. Then you should be able to tell when yours are about to stop workingright.As the sail gets older, the cloth breaks down, and the seams start to creep. Sailsdon’t like prolonged flapping, getting stuffed in bags, or having salt left onthem. All of these things will shorten their lives. As sailcloth breaks down, itloses some of the resin that makes the cloth stiff and it begins to stretch in funnyways. This, combined with seam creep, will cause a few things to happen.First, the position of the draft (the proper curve of the sail when filled withwind) will change. Ideally, the sail’s deepest point should be 40-50% of the wayback from the mast. 50% is okay in light air but any further back and you’llsuffer speed problems.At the same time the sail will get fuller. YOu can probably get away with this inlight air, but you’ll suffer in a breeze. You won’t be able to flatten a fuller sailand depower it, like yo could a newer sail. Your boat will heel more thaneveryone else, your daggerboard will be less effective, and you’ll feel likeyou’re side-slipping and can’t point well.Finally, the leech of the sail (the trailing edge) will start to flap when you sail ina medium breeze. Also, you’ll see a gard spot develop at the front end of thebatten pockets. The leech of the sail is probably the most critical part of the sailbecause it directly affects your pointing ability. You don’t want strange lumpsand flapping on the leach anymore than you would want them on your hull.They create drag and drag is bad.A popular misconception is that old sails are better than brand new ones. Oldsails are softer and, since they’re blown out, the draft has moved aft. Thesethings are somewhat desirable in light air, but a sail that is optimized for light airwill get killed in a breeze.While it is true that brand new sails usually get better after they have a fewhours on them, don’t get fooled into thinking that they aren’t as good.Where I sail, on Long Island Sound, we see more than our fair share of light air,but it’s a mistake to bank on that, because it can blow hammers and tongs everyso often. If your old sails are in reasonable shape, it may be a good idea to savethem for days when you know you won’t get abreeze, rather than simply usethem until they fall apart.
