Extractions: Formerly known as yachting , the newly redubbed 2000 Olympic sailing competition was given the new name for a few reasons. Mostly because seven of the current classes of boats being used in Olympic competition are actually small dinghies or sailboards and are far from the definition of a yacht. Another reason Olympic officials decided on the switch was to

At least that's the impression you get if you go back a few years with some "oldtimers" of Stanford sailing. When it became apparent last year that the Stanford Sailing Association, with 350 members, was one of the biggest student organizations around, we wanted to find out why. It appeared there might be a clue in what had happened to participants in earlier, smaller and more sporadic Stanford sailing ventures. What we found out was that most of them are stil at it. It seems sailing is something you do all your life. At least it's a sport which doesn't end suddenly with a football knee. Furthermore, it's something you can do with your family, though some blue-water widows might argue that point.
Extractions: By STEVEN DOWNES SYDNEY (September 28, 2000 11:00 p.m. EDT http://www.sportserver.com ) - Poland's Robert Korzeniowski walked his way into the history books in Sydney on Friday morning, when he became the first man in Olympic history to win the 20km and 50km race walk double, retaining his title in the longest event on the athletics programme - another historic first. Latvia's Agars Fadejevs took silver, while Mexican Joel Sanchez finished with the bronze. Korzeniowski who took the event to a new level. The 32-year-old Krakow sports teacher won the 20km walk here last week in controversial style - when Mexico's Bernardo Segura was disqualified 11 minutes after he had crossed the line in the belief he had won the gold. But Friday's triumph was much more clear-cut. Korzeniowski finished in 3hr 42min 22sec, removing his sun glasses to reveal the sweat on his face in the baking Sydney sun.

Extractions: CofC Sailing - Circa 1967 In 1986 the College of Charleston Sailing Team won both the Intercollegiate Dinghy National Championship and the Leonard B. Fowle Trophy, awarded annually to the best overall sailing team in the nation. Only three other teams have ever won both honors in the same year. The team repeated as the Fowle Trophy winner in 1988 and in 1998, and has been second in that competition three times. Yet the sailing team has been recognized as a champion for many years. The team was formed in 1964 and was a founding member of the South Atlantic Intercollegiate Sailing Association (SAISA) in that same year. Since 1978, the team has qualified sixteen times for all annual national collegiate sailing championships, winning seven of those events. During that time the team produced more than thirty All-Americans and three Collegiate Sailors-of-the-Year. Many team alumni have found success at various national class championships and in international and Olympic competition. In the world of college sailing, the College of Charleston has developed a very special winning tradition.

Extractions: home Hall of Fame Affiliated Clubs The Committees ... About the Association The Story so far.... The class was designed over 30 years ago in New Zealand by John Spencer , who also designed the Cherub. It was not long before the class came across the Tasman and was being sailed on the east and west coasts of Australia by both girls and boys from 9 to 18 years of age. In 1964 the first N.S.W. State Championship was held at Northbridge, proudly won by "Echo", skippered by C. Wise from the Northbridge Sailing Club on Sydney's Middle Harbour. The inaugural National Championship followed in 1967 and crowned the first Flying Ant National Champion, "Radiant" skippered by J. Brown and crewed by F. O'Rourke from N.S.W. This was the start of the Australian Flying Ant Skiff Association, which now comprises of New South Wales, Queensland, Victoria and Western Australia. South Australia are trying to form a Flying Ant Association and race these exciting skiffs on our southern waters. The skiff has undergone many changes since those early days and the modern Flying Ant is a "State of the Art" racing machine. The Flying Ant is the ideal boat for juniors coming out of Sabots and Manly Juniors who want to sail a fast exciting planning skiff with a single trapeze and self draining cockpit, that will develop the skills needed to be able to progress to the 29er, 49er, 16' Skiff and the 18' Skiffs of the future.

Extractions: It was in the late 40's that the IYRU (now ISAF) instigated a new modern 2-man international dinghy, the Tornado. She was not a success as there was no leap forward compared to the existing pre-war classes. The Royal Loosdrecht Yacht Club, Conrad Gulcher's club, obtained half a dozen Tornados and found them very uninspiring to say the least! Conrad had always been very interested in dinghy sailing and had collected any documentation connected with it. Pre-war he had enjoyed some international sailing in Germany and the UK and he had made many friends in the dinghy sailing scene. He imagined that with modern construction methods, moulded ply, a better boat could be constructed. Being an Insurance Broker and not a designer he enlisted the help of Uus Van Essen, a naval architect and measurer for the Dutch Yacht Federation. They made a preliminary design and early in September 1951 it was sent to 30 top class helmsmen in Europe including Bossom (Z - SUI), John Cahmier (K -GBR), Charles Curry (K - GBR), Manfried Curry (G - GER), Ferry Laagwater (H - NED),Stewart Morris (K - GBR), Morits Skaugen (N - NOR) and Shorty Trimingham (KZB - BER), with the request to comment within two weeks. The measurements were similar to the 15m2 Wanderjolle of mid-European lakes and popular Flying Fifteen. By the end of September 23 responses had been returned with sufficient new and sound ideas to redesign the boat.

Extractions: Picture needed - does anyone have one ? The recent release in the United Kingdom of the film 'Titanic' has yet again brought the actions of her crew under public scrutiny. Unfortunately, this has also perpetuated myths about the principal officers such as Captain Smith and his First Officer William McMaster Murdoch. The film has incorrectly portrayed Murdoch as a corrupt man who shot two panicking passengers and then committed suicide by shooting himself. The 'Titanic''s Chief Officer, Henry Tingle Wilde, was born in 1872 at Walton, near Liverpool, England. Probably from about 1889, Henry Wilde served his sea apprenticeship, on sailing vessels of Messrs. James Chambers. After On gaining his Second Mate's certificate, he joined the Maranhan Steamship Company as 2nd Officer. He left that Company after obtaining his Master's certificate to join the the White Star Line. In that respect, his career is similar to that of William McMaster Murdoch. Henry Wilde served on the following ships of the White Star Line up to 1908, mainly on the Australian and North Atlantic runs. It will be noted that he and William Murdoch were both aboard the 'Arabic' and 'Medic', but at different dates to one another :-
