Extractions: Savannah News-Press After waiting years, decades even lifetimes for this moment, many Olympic sailors postponed their dreams one more day. Because of another round of thunderstorms, only three of eight classes set to begin competition in the Olympic regatta Monday got races in before the rains and lightning began. ''It's pretty frustrating, to prepare four years for this and not get to race on the first day,'' said Mexico's Laser entry Antonio Goeters. ''But then again, it makes things exciting.'' And while there wasn't much racing, Wassaw Sound and the nearby Atlantic definitely were exciting, if dangerous places to be Monday afternoon. Winds never reached a danger point, but visibility was near zero in the downpour, and lightning flashed almost constantly for 30 minutes. ''You could see it building all afternoon,'' New Zealand Mistral sailor Aaron McIntosh said. ''And when it broke, it really broke.''

Jay, a silver medallist in the 1984 Los Angeles Olympic Games, is the personal coach of the USA Open Tornado team, comprising John Lovell and Charlie Ogletree and husband of Pease Glaser, who is competing in the women's 470 class in Sydney. This is the first time Olympic sailing events are being held in a working port and only the second time in recent Olympic history, after Barcelona, that sailing has been visible from the shore at the host city.
Boardsailing - An Olympic Class History Boardsailing An olympic Class history by Bruce Kendall of New Zealand - dual Olympian isthe most 'one design' of any of the olympic sailing classes and the http://www.windsurfing.org/olympics01.htm
Extractions: Due to the big equipment performance differences found in other windsurfing classes Olympic Class Boardsailing is possibly the most pure type of athletic sail racing in the world - a real Olympic sport. Sadly, it is and possibly always will be little understood. Like all small craft sailing classes, the best informed spectators are the competitors. It has taken twenty years of two steps forward and one back for Olympic Boardsailing to get to the level it is now. As a consequence of the Olympic Boardsailing Class's current achievements, governments are allocating a lot of funding towards growing the sport. The current Olympic Class is a great asset to the sport of windsurfing. Let's look after it and keep the current Olympic Class for at least another Olympiad.
VOLVO Youth Sailing ISAF World Championship History A Brief history The Volvo Youth sailing ISAF World 80 until Briton Sally Cuthbert,first sailing with Storm New Zealand olympic Gold Medallist and 1995 America http://www.boatingoz.com.au/~vyhist.htm
Extractions: The Volvo Youth Sailing ISAF World Championship has been staged at different venues around the globe, ranging from New Zealand and Australia in the Southern Hemisphere (1983 and 1987 respectively) to Greece (1994) through to Cape Town (1998) and Finland (1999). The 2000 event to be held in Sydney is the thirtieth running of the championship. There have been a number of changes over the years, ranging from an increase in competitor numbers different boats and most significantly in 1990, classes for girls. Over the years the way the event is managed on and off the water has changed significantly, often leading other major events, including the Olympic Games. One of the key people behind those changes, who helped transform the stature of the event from a yearly gathering attended by only a selected few nations in the early eighties, to the professionally managed and well structured international regatta it is today was Briton, John Barker. Seeing the potential of the event to become a truly significant world regatta, Barker, a former Rear Admiral in the Royal Navy and one of the key figures behind the British effort in the Falklands conflict, became a pivotal force in transforming the face of what was then the IYRU Youth Worlds. He remained a champion of the event and Chairman of the ISAF Youth Sailing Committee until ill health forced his retirement in 1998. Coming into the organisation of the event in 1987 Admiral Barker was a driving force in the introduction of sponsorship and, in 1991, the use of short course racing with a two races per day format, only introduced at the Olympic Games for the first time in Savannah in 1996.

Extractions: HISTORY Carlyle Sailing Association is an Illinois Not-For-Profit Corporation formed in 1954 as Valley Sailing Association (VSA). The directors of VSA, aware of the shortcomings of the original location and the growth of sailboat racing, investigated sites at several of the lake projects being planned. The most attractive site was Lake Carlyle. The lake consists of 26,000 acres of water, approximately 8 miles-long and 3 miles-wide. The site is located about 55 miles east of St. Louis, Missouri. The directors of VSA spent hundreds of man-hours planning a new sailboat harbor. These efforts resulted in a lease agreement with the Illinois Department of Conservation for the present location. In the spring of 1971, the VSA Corporation moved two-thirds of its membership and assets to Carlyle Lake. Paved boat parking and drives, three jib cranes and 400 feet of dock comprised the major site facilities at the time of occupation. The building complement included a house trailer for the harbormaster, a utility shed, and a "his" and "hers" privy. Through the judicious balance of income and expenditure and participation by the membership, the amenities at CSA have expanded through the years. In 1973 a three-pod pavilion structure was completed. Nineteen seventy-four saw the installation of a rest room/shower facility by the State of Illinois. The harbormaster moved into a new residence in 1975 and an observation building providing shelter from the elements was erected in 1976. Over the years, barbecue pits, children's play area, landscaping, expansion of docks and cabin boat-parking areas, and beach facilities for catamarans were

Woollahra Sailing Clubs History With Sydney winning the olympic bid for 2000, Woollahra sailing Club has brimmedwith the large influx of Overseas Teams requiring boat space and varying http://www.wsc.aust.com/index/Club_History/woollahra_history.htm
Extractions: Woollahra Sailing Club is one of the most predominant and successful dinghy sailing clubs in Australia. Centrally located on elegant Sydney Harbour ( Racing area for the Sydney 2000 Olympics) ,Woollahra Sailing Club has a range of excellent facilities including a large concrete launching ramp, a new wharf and crane, a sizable boat storage yard, and a club house (which accommodates a canteen, change rooms, and a function room overlooking the harbour). The Club has many different classes of small boats, sail boards, and kayaks within its grounds but mainly conducts racing for Lasers, Radial Lasers, Tasars, 29ers, 49ers, Manly Juniors, and Flying Elevens. However, Woollahra Sailing Cub had a very humble beginning, being founded at a meeting on the 8th of May 1953 by seven enthusiastic Moth Class sailors resonating from the Woollahra Municipality, with Victor Friezer becoming President and Henry Arthur being appointed Club Captain. Racing during this period was typically conducted on Sunday Morning and consisted of no more than seven or eight boats sailing short courses in Rose Bay. In December 1958, Woollahra Sailing Club underwent a decisive change. It moved locations from a shed near the Rose Bay Police Station and took up occupancy over the other side of the Bay in the old RAAF officers' Canteen Building of the Rose Bay Flying Boat Base which was leased to the Club by Woollahra Council. Until 1974, the appearance of the Club house was that of a quintessential weatherboard building . Inside enclosed the smaller boats, with a number of the larger boats being stored on the grassed area. With the acquisition of the new Club House membership numbers leaped ahead.

Extractions: Advertisement Dateline: 08/07/00 The 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney, Australia mark the return of sailing to the Olympics. While the sport has been a part of the Olympics since 1900, powerboats briefly muddied the waters and until this year the baggage-laden term yachting was used to describe the event. With dinghies comprising two-thirds of the Olympic boats, competitive sailing is hardly a rich-man's sport, but is as accessible as almost any other Olympic event. Olympic sailing pits boats of a single class against one another, racing in a number of heats. In the open classes such as Solings and Lasers, men and women can compete equally, while in other classes, like the Mistral sailboard, there are separate men's and women's event. In addition there is a single handed men's dinghy the Finn, and a single handed women's dinghy the Europe. The sailing races take place on the waters of Rushcutter Bay , east of Sydney. There are four different

Extractions: Mike Horn '63 The Harvard Sailing Team competes at the high level it does today because past team members and coaches gave so much to Harvard Sailing. Mike Horn, Harvard Sailing's coach from 1965 to 1997, should receive the most credit for producing some of Harvard's best sailors, and paving the way for it to produce many more. Mike first sailed at Harvard as a student - class of '63. A distinguished sailor, he was inducted into the Harvard Varsity Club Hall of Fame in 1991 along with teammate Carter Ford. Barbara Grant '73 Janice Stroud '73 Both these women set standards for women's sailing. Barbara Grant was an A-division skipper in three consecutive National Dinghy Championships, and helped Radcliffe to it's 1972 win at Nationals. Although All-American status was not available to women during her career, she was one of the first women selected to the ICSA Hall of Fame. Perhaps Janice's greatest accomplishment was her performance at the 1972 National Dinghy Championships. Mike Horn stated that her record "simply will never be equaled - 12 firsts and two seconds in 14 races, winning the division by 34 points." Along with Grant, Janice was one of the first women selected to the ICSA Hall of Fame.

Extractions: A number of GUST members went to the Southampton Boatshow to look at the new boats and (in some cases) to look at the other visitors and stand personnel. After ducking and diving through Southampton to try to avoid the traffic we spent some time talking to charter companies to host the Euro Cup regatta in 2003. Unfortunately we found that most only have small numbers of keelboats but we have alternatives of looking at larger boats and sleeping on board which will reduce costs. We also spent some time at the Laser stand looking at the new SB3 keelobat which we're looking at using for GUST sailing in 2003. The advantages of the SB3 are:-
