RCYC Ideal 18 Handbook
Welcome to Sailing at RCYC
Introduction
RCYC sailors and staff have assembled the information in this handbook to start the discussion about sailing
club-owned boats at RCYC and to promote the programs available to members. This handbook is intended to be
a starting point from which the users of this handbook are encouraged to engage in discussions with other
sailors, members, and staff to further their knowledge of sailing.
The Ideal 18’s are an easy-to-handle two- or three-person keelboat ready to sail either white-sail or with
spinnaker. The boats are Club-owned, building a community of sailors and encouraging participation by
members who are non-boat-owners and boat-owners alike. The community of Ideal 18 sailors at RCYC are
collegial and encourage sharing of experience, with the aim of raising the level of sailing and racing among other
Ideal 18 Program members. In addition, the RCYC has a variety of programs to encourage members to further
their understanding of sailing, build on their practical experience, and encourage camaraderie among members.
The information in this handbook is intended to be an overview and is not meant to replace proper training and
experience in operating a boat. Sailing club-owned boats involves the sailor in making decisions involving many
variables including weather, ability, equipment, and surrounding objects or hazards. Sailors are reminded that
they are responsible for their actions and should take steps to be able to operate the boat safely and within
their limits.
Mission: The RCYC Ideal 18 programs promote an interest in sailing and on-the-water activities that extends
from basic sailing awareness and social enjoyment to the development of enhanced skills. The programs will
encourage members to become proficient in the management, maintenance, control and handling of their
yachts, in navigation, and in all matters pertaining to seamanship. The programs offer a variety of sailing
activities including pleasure day sailing, fleet racing, team racing, match racing, learn-to-sail training, learn-torace training, and competitive race training.
Vision:
The RCYC Ideal 18 programs will create
accessible opportunities for members who are
non-boat owners or boat owners alike to
pursue social enjoyment of the RCYC and
development of their pleasure sailing and/or
racing skills.

History
About the Ideal 18
The Ideal 18 idea came from Frank Shumway of Shumway Marine in Rochester. Frank and his wife sailed a “Bulls
Eye”, a 16-foot keelboat (designed by Nathaniel Herreshoff for Cape Cod Shipbuilding) in the winter months in
Florida, a boat now very dated. Shumway wanted a more modern design, a two-person club boat for Long Island
and the Great Lakes. That's how the story started. He then got Bruce Kirby to design it, and Ontario Yachts to
build them. The name came from a wooden 48-foot boat Frank’s grandfather commissioned in 1912 named
Ideal which was stationed in the Thousand Islands.
Frank Shumway’s BULLS EYE” 16’ keelobat, designed
by Nat Herreshoff in 1914
Frank Shumway’s grandfather’s launch Ideal after
which our Ideal 18’s are named.
The Ideal 18 keelboat was designed by Bruce Kirby as a strict one-design, accessible to sailors of all ages,
weights, skill levels, and competitive backgrounds. The emphasis is on strategy, tactical skills, and boat handling,
rather than tuning or special rigging.
The ¾ fractional sloop rig has no permanent or running backstays; instead, rig stability is generated by 15-degree
swept spreaders and a mast of large cross-section. Most sailors prefer to keep the upper and lower shrouds
fairly loose up to 15 knots. Upper tension ranges from about 180 lb. up to 300 lb; lowers are one or two turns
above hand-tight until 12 knots; thereafter, usually about 75% of upper tension.
The jib is self-tacking and roller-furling. When sailing to windward, the jib has a sheeting angle of about eight
degrees. The spinnaker is small for an 18-foot boat, easily handled by any size forward crewmember, with
standard “tweakers” (or “twings”), topping lift, foreguy, and Spectra sheet/guy. The spinnaker is stored in a
mesh bag on the port side of the cockpit.
No hiking straps are provided or allowed; in fact, sailors are required to keep their legs inside the boat. Because
of the prohibition on aggressive hiking and the heavy keel, a greater range of weights is competitive than in
most one-designs. In 5-15 knots, any weight is competitive.
Keels and rudders are identical with no fairing allowed, the mast steps and partners locations are fixed, and
headstay lengths are the same.

The RRSP Program
The idea of the RRSP program (Racing Resurgence Sailing Program) was conceived by Terry McLaughlin in 1991
when he felt that small boat racing had not been as active as it could be. He contacted a number of members to
participate in buying a fleet of Ideal 18’s, a class conceived as a club-owned boat, that were being purchased as
fleets by clubs on Long Island Sound. This resulted in the purchase of 13 boats by members and made available
to the club for the new RRSP program. The boats were owned either by a single member or by several members
who shared a boat.
Terry, with help from Dirk Kneulman and Andy Roy, started the program for Thursday-night club racing, which
turned out to be well attended and very successful.
A big part of the program was team racing on Friday nights, which was also well attended. As several of the
owners had also purchased trailers, they took the boats to regattas in Kingston and Long Island Sound. The Royal
Hamilton Yacht Club also ran a well-attended fall series on Saturday mornings for the Ideal 18’s, with racing as
late in the season as early December.
In the early 2000’s, all the owners donated the boats to the club. There was a downturn in participation a few
years ago, but with the refurbishment of the boats and new sails in 2010, attendance increased again. A great
boost was the now very active Women’s program that started in 2011.
With the resumption of team and possibly match racing, and the addition of a Learn-to-Sail program, the boats
will continue to see increased use and participation by members.

RCYC Ideal 18 Programs & Opportunities
The Ideal 18 Fleet & RRSP Program
Joining the Ideal 18 Fleet gives members wide access to the Ideal 18’s throughout the sailing season. This
program is for both racing helmsmen and crews with moderate to advanced racing experience.
The Ideal 18 Fleet holds a mixed-gender, all-ages competitive race fleet that races on Thursday nights through
the season, in four Saturday regattas in June, July and August, and in the Club Championship in September.
There is also a start on Friday nights for the TGIF Series. Members of the RRSP program can also book a boat for
cruising/family sailing depending on availability at the sailing office. (Link to RCYC Ideal 18 webpage)Individual
and family memberships that are available. (Link to RCYC Ideal 18 webpage)
The Saturday Regattas in June, July, August and September start at 12 noon, consist of five races, back-to-back,
windward/leeward twice around.
We welcome other club members to participate in the Saturday regattas as normally the boats are not fully
subscribed. There is a small entrance fee, where interested parties can register online or with the dock master.
First bookings are, however, reserved for RRSP members. (Link to the registration form.)
The weekly bookings of the boat will be done on the RCYC website. Program members who race regularly can be
assigned as Boat Captains, and they have first call for the boat they have been assigned. However, if the boat is
not booked 48 hours before the start gun of the Thursday night race or the Saturday Regattas, other program
members can book the boat.
Individual and family memberships are available.

Toronto Bay Invitational Regatta: July 23, 2016
Our club invites Lake Ontario sailing clubs to send a team to our one-day regatta to be sailed in Ideal 18’s in
Toronto Bay. The RCYC team to represent our club will be the winner of the mid-July Saturday Ideal 18 regatta. It
is our aim to engage with the other clubs in this event, followed by a dinner, to encourage small boat racing at
close quarters with multiple races in the shifty wind conditions that can exist in Toronto Bay. Six+ races are
sailed, windward/leeward, twice around. This regatta was held for the first time in 2014. The RCYC has created a
perpetual Trophy for this event.
Winners:
2014: Boulevard Club: Edmund Rees and Eric Langford
2015: Lake of Bays Sailing Club: Ian Brown and George Searle
Boat Captains
The RRSP Fleet and the Women’s Program designate regular race participants who want to use the same boat
for the season and are willing to accept responsibility for maintaining that boat in acceptable race condition.
Tasks include, but are not limited to the following areas.
Minor Maintenance – Ensure lines, halyards and cleats are in working order. Pump the bilge as required and
keep the boat reasonably clean. If small repairs or replacements of lines or deck gear are necessary, necessities
can be obtained from the Marine Store. Charge should be made to the Ideal 18 RRSP account. Report all other
maintenance/repair issues to the Sailing Office, preferably by e-mail.
Major Maintenance – Please report to the Sailing Office in person or e-mail, with copy to the Fleet Captain.
Hauling the boats for bottom cleaning – A boat captain may haul the boats and clean the bottom at her/his
discretion.
Rigging and De-Rigging in the Spring and Fall – The spring and fall rigging and de-rigging parties are held on
Saturday mornings in May and October and are staffed by volunteers from the various programs. It is highly
desirable that boat captains be present to check out the boats they have been assigned to, and report on any
repair or replacement requirements to the Sailing Office.
All of our programs are designed to help build confidence, competence and boat handling skills for beginners,
intermediate sailors and experienced racing skippers and crews. They provide a wide range of opportunities for
all who love sailing and want to be on the water.

How to Book an Ideal 18
Contributor: RCYC Staff
Whether you are a part of the Ideal 18 Fleet, a student or a participant in any other Ideal 18 program, when
sailing outside normal program times you must check out your Ideal 18 at the Sailing Office prior to leaving the
dock. At the Sailing Office, you will be required to fill out a waiver that will have all of the safety regulations and
restrictions outlined for your agreement and signature. A Dockmaster will take you on a walk-around of your
vessel to do an equipment and damage check – similar to a car rental.
***Things break and accidents happen so skippers must fill out an Incident Report (with the Sailing Office) to
report accidents, damage, missing parts, and all repair or equipment issues.***
*** All boats must be returned to the dock before sunset as they are not equipped with required navigation
lights***
Ideal 18 rentals are subject to boat availability, weather conditions and safety issues. The Ideal 18’s are available
for reservation:




Monday – Thursday 9 am – 4 pm
Friday – Sunday 9 am – Sunset (except during regatta blackouts). Reservations can be made online at the
RCYC Ideal 18 webpage.
On Program nights – program participants will have first priority for use of the Ideal 18’s.
Reservations are to be booked using the RCYC Online Booking service, and members are required to
meet staff on site prior to use of the boat. Staff will review the condition of the boat with the member,
will discuss general use of the boat, and help answer any questions the member may have.
Qualification Checkout
Whether you are a new member of the Ideal 18 section, just finished the women’s program or an ALTS Program,
the first time you take out an Ideal 18, you must do a short competence exam (private lesson) with one of the
RCYC Sailing Instructors. This exam will qualify you to operate the boat safely and return it in safe condition for
later users.
If you have completed a certified sailing course in the past, the competence exam will be a brief interview with
an instructor prior to leaving the dock. The minimum skills that are required to safely operate the boat are
outlined in the following table.

How to Set Up and De-rig
Ideal 18 Set-Up
Once you have checked out your Ideal 18, rigging the boat will be your responsibility.
Sails – RCYC staff will put the sails (jib & spinnaker) on boats that are registered for use. The mainsail is already
rigged on the boom of the Ideal 18.
RCYC staff developed a YouTube video to show students how to rig an Ideal 18. Please see the following link for
the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CJ17HBc-Qig&feature=youtu.be
Equipment – Always check your running and standing rigging prior to leaving the dock – are any of your halyards
skyed, sheets chafed? Do all of your cleats have bite, are you missing any shackles? Make sure your bilge is
empty. Make sure you have all safety equipment onboard.
**If you do find any issues with your vessel please report to the Sailing Office immediately.**
Getting underway – Once your vessel is rigged and wind conditions have been assessed, you may leave the
dock. Please proceed safely.
Ideal 18 De-rig
Returning to the dock – All sails must be lowered and jib furled prior to reaching the dock. Sails left half way up
may catch wind, so be sure to lower sails and control them to prevent unwanted movement of boat. Should you
have trouble lowering your sails, head your boat into the wind as this will reduce the pressure on the plastic
hanks in the mast track. Once sails are lowered and in control, you must paddle from a point approximately
halfway down the line of boats east of the Sailing Office. As you arrive at the dock, be sure to note the position
of your mooring lines so you can secure your vessel to the dock; mooring lines will include two spring lines, one
or two stern lines (depending on dock), and a bow clip line. You will know you have secured the boat correctly
when your vessel is floating straight in its slip and not rubbing against the dock.
De-rig – Once your vessel is secure at the dock, you can begin your de-rigging process. Your Main must be rolled
neatly along the boom – be sure to avoid any creases and tie it snugly but not harshly with a minimum of three
sail ties, forward, middle and aft, then put on the sail cover. Your Jib comes off the vessel completely. You will
then neatly roll it back into the bag (be sure the number on your jib matches the number on your bag) Your
Spinnaker will be packed into the spinnaker bag (again, with matching sail and bag numbers) neatly and ready
for easy rigging by the next user with the head, tack and clew at the top. Last but not least – be sure to centre
your tiller and secure the ends of the light retaining line to the pad-eyes on the stern.

Safety
Contributor: RCYC Members and Staff
PFD’s or Lifejackets
Before sailing, be sure that you have as many PFD’s – commonly called lifejackets – as you have people as aside
from safety, police will levy a serious fine for each missing PFD). You are encouraged to have your own PFD for
safety and comfort, but a limited number are available for loan from the Sailing Office. You are encouraged to
wear your PFD on the dock and while sailing.
Suggested Gear List
In addition to your own life jacket and depending on weather conditions, we suggest that sailors dress in layers
(short or long sleeve shirt, sweatshirt, windbreaker, shorts or long pants). You should also bring the following:

Boat shoes or sneakers with
white soles (black soles mark up
the boat).



Sunglasses (polarized are best)
A hat to provide shade
Sunblock (SPF 15 or better)


Sailing gloves
Drinking water
And if it calls for rain, bring your rain gear (also available for sale at the RCYC Pro Shop).
Safety Gear for the Boat
Transport Canada requires that sail and power boats up to 6m (19’-8”) have the following safety equipment:



Personal Lifesaving Appliances
o One lifejacket or PFD for each person on board
o One buoyant heaving line at least 15 m (49’3”) long. Note that the spinnaker sheets can double
as this.
Vessel Safety Equipment
o One manual propelling device OR One anchor and at least 15 m (50 feet) of cable, rope or chain
in any combination. (Ideal 18 paddles meet this requirement).
o One bailer or manual bilge pump. Note that each Ideal 18 is equipped with a small plastic bucket
for bailing.
Navigation Equipment
o One sound-signalling device or appliance (this can be a whistle attached to your lifejacket).
For more information about these requirements, please see Transport Canada’s Safe Boating Guide, available
here: http://www.tc.gc.ca/publications/EN/TP511/PDF%5CHR/TP511E.pdf

Crew Overboard Procedure
There are several procedures for Crew Overboard. A simple and commonly referenced procedure recommended
for the CYA Basic Cruising Standard is the Reach/Tack/Reach Method. Other methods include the Quickstop
Approach, the Gybe/Heave-to, the Figure 8, the Circle and Luff up, and the Bow-tie.
After a crew falls in the water, the first action is to keep an eye on them and try to determine if they are okay.
The spotter should hail, “Are you okay?” If you are a crew who has fallen overboard, indicate with a hand signal
that you are okay! The skipper should sail a course to approach the crew overboard at low speed from the
leeward side. When the boat is in close proximity to the crew overboard, she or he should swim to the boat and
re-board via the stern, using a loop tied with the assistance of the skipper.
The skipper (or person on board) should use the following procedure with a person overboard:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
Hail “Crew Overboard” and throw a buoyant object into water.
Confirm crew overboard is okay/safe.
Change direction to a beam reach and adjust sheets as required.
Sail to nearest point where you can manoeuvre back to the crew overboard.
Tack boat.
Ease sheets and bear away to broad reach.
Sail towards crew overboard approaching on their leeward side. As you near, release sheets and head
towards close reach course so that boat stops near crew overboard.
8. The crew will then position themselves to enter the boat and with the assistance of the skipper, reboard. Re-boarding can be assisted using the following two methods:
a. Crew overboard to re-board by entering the boat via the open stern. The skipper can assist by
pulling on the straps of the crew’s PFD or clothing.
b. The skipper can tie a loop using either the mainsheet or spinnaker sheets. It is recommended
that the sheets be removed from their position (main blocks or spinnaker), tied around the
shroud and loop created in the free end.

Local Hazards
Toronto has a busy harbour with many hazards, but can be a safe place to sail when you plan for these items.
Some common considerations to keep in the back of your mind include:
Airport – There are large white buoys near the airport. Boats are forbidden to enter this area. A fine up to
$10,000 may be levied for boats entering this area.
Ferries and Club Launches: Toronto has many ferries and that operate a predetermined route. City ferries have
a legal right of way over an Ideal 18 while club launches are attempting to maintain their schedules, so please
avoid them and keep a safe distance from their route.
Other Boats: Toronto is a busy harbour with many sailors both experienced and inexperienced. You are required
to obey the rules of the road when you are sailing any boat. If you are unsure of the applicable rule, keep clear.
Make an alteration of course that is clear and unambiguous so others understand your intentions.
Overhead and Underwater Power Lines and Cables: There are overhead and underwater power lines and cables
that could prevent you from getting to your destination. They are commonly marked and must be avoided.
Shallow Waters: The Ideal 18 draws a little more than 3 feet (about 1 meter), but Toronto Harbour has areas
that are shallow. Take a moment to view the partial map below to see where shallow waters and hazards are
located.
Weather and Wind: The weather and wind can make your sailing experience enjoyable, but can also put you
into danger. Prior to sailing the boat, you are required to check the weather and make sure you are ready for the
forecast and are comfortable to operate the boat safely.
Page 16 of 28
Sailing Area
The Club-owned boats are intended to be operated inside Toronto Harbour. Should an RCYC staff member be
accompanying the boats, they have additional range. Otherwise, to increase the area where the boat can travel,
a float plan must be submitted and approved by RCYC staff.

Navigation Basics
This section provides a basic overview of the rules of the road from the Collision Regulations. For a more in
depth review of the Collision Regulations, please see the following URL:
http://www.qp.gov.sk.ca/documents/english/Regulations/federal/c1416.pdf
General Navigation Best Practices
When sailing an Ideal 18 and there is no one in sight, some common things that you should do include:




Look Out: There should be at least one person on the boat keeping an eye on your surroundings. Things
to look out for include: other boats, hazards, aids to navigation (buoys), and obstruction to navigation.
Don’t forget to watch for shallow water.
Safe Speed: The Ideal 18 is not a fast boat, but the speed of the boat should always be held to a rate at
which the skipper and crew are in full control and can take appropriate action.
Avoid Collision: Should you think there is any risk of collision with another boat, hazard, or other object,
immediately do what is necessary to neutralize the issue. If required, stop.
Navigating a Narrow Channel: When sailing in and out of the RCYC basin, you are navigating a narrow
channel with shallows on either side. You should remain clear of big boats that may have trouble
changing direction. Also, it is customary to sail on the starboard (right) side of the channel much as we
drive on roads.

When Sailing In Sight Of Another Boat
Sailing – Starboard over Port
When sailing vessels have the wind on different sides, the
vessel with the wind on its port (left) side must keep out of
the way of the other
Note – If a sailing vessel has the wind on its port (left) side
and the operator is not sure if the other vessel has the
wind on its port or starboard (right) side, the first boat
must keep out of the way of the other.
Vessel A keeps clear of vessel B.
Sailing – Leeward over Windward
When both sailing vessels have the wind on the same side,
the vessel to windward* must keep out of the way of the
vessel to leeward.
* The windward side is opposite to the side that carries the
mainsail.
Vessel B. keeps clear of vessel A.
Under Motor – General Rules
If a power-driven vessel approaches within the Port Sector,
maintain your course and speed with caution.
If any vessel approaches within the Starboard Sector, keep
out of its way. (Note: This rule may not always apply if one
or both vessels are sailboats.)
If any vessel approaches the Stern Sector, maintain your
course and speed with caution.
A power-driven vessel keeps clear of a sailing vessel.

Crane Operating Procedure
Contributor: Tom Johannsen
This procedure is intended for use by boat captains for cleaning the bottom. Anybody else who wants to haul a
boat needs to clear this with the Sailing Office.
1. Detach boom with sail (gooseneck, boomvang, mainsheet) and store outside the boat. The reason for
this is to remove weight from the stern of the boat. The boat needs to tilt forward when hoisted so that
the rigging/stays are clear of the chain on the lift.
2. Of the two cranes in the dry-sail area, use the one located to the east. Position the boat at the dock with
the bow facing west.
3. Remove the floorboard. There are two attachment points in the keel area, The sling (available at the
Sailing Office) has two wires of equal length. Bring hook down and attach sling.
4. Also attach two lines from the hook to where the stays connect to the deck to assure the boat does not
swing to one side when hoisted and stays level. Sometimes it is a good procedure to also bring a line
from the hook to the transom to assure the boat tilts forward. Also have two lines – one at the bow and
one at the stern – attached so the boat can be controlled while it is lifted by the crane.
5. Hoist and swing boat so now the bow faces east. Bring boat down so the forward end of the keel comes
to sit on a piece of wood. Now the boat is ready to have the bottom cleaned.

Tips for Sailing the Boat
Upwind Sailing
Contributors: Michelle Mazzotta & Michael Egberts
Crew weight While sailing upwind in light winds, a leeward heel of 5-7
degrees is best. If sailing in winds above eight knots, it is best to sail the
boat as flat as possible. The skipper and crew should sit close together
about six or eight inches in front of the main sheet only moving back when
breeze builds.
Direction The boat can tack through 80 degrees, but it is usually better to
foot by easing the sails a bit and sailing lower than a closehauled course,
particularly when the waves build up.
Sail trim and controls Main sheet trim is more important than jib sheet
trim in all conditions. Keep the boom vang loose in light air. When sailing in
more than 15 knots, pull the vang as hard as possible and be prepared to use the sheet aggressively. The tight
boom vang will bend the mast and open a narrow slot between the main sail and job. In all wind conditions,
keep the outhaul tight. The Cunningham should not be set tight, but may need tightening as wind builds to
prevent creases forming in the luff of the mainsail. The fixed, non-adjustable bridle should be centered above
the centreline of the boat.
Jib setup The jib sheet should be set so the clewboard is about 1½ to 3 inches from the traveler block. The
location of the jib sheet attachment to the clewboard adjusts the jib in two ways – it changes the twist of the
leech and the tightness of the foot. Attach the jib sheet to the top hole of the clew board for wind conditions
between 0-3 knots, second hole from 4-8 knots, middle hole for 8-18, and fourth hole for 18+ knots. The jib
halyard tension normally is set at the dock, but can be adjusted on the water if required.
Sheeting while sailing The main is large enough that in winds above 12 knots, the boat may not bear off if the
main is sheeted in. If you find it hard to bear away on mark roundings or ducking another boat, ease the
mainsheet before the turn. In addition, minor course corrections may require aggressive sheeting of the mainsail
in puffy conditions. In puffy conditions with winds above 15 knots, it is faster ease the sheet and allow the
mainsail to luff. This will keep the boat driving faster than feathering up (sailing above a closehauled course with
the mainsail sheeted all the way in).
Downwind Sailing
Contributors: Michelle Mazzotta & Michael Egberts
Downwind sailing is similar to other dinghies. If there is no
intention to sail with a spinnaker, sailors often will heel the boat
approximately 10 degree to windward. The heel will help balance
the helm, allowing the boat to sail straight and fast. As the wind
builds, the Ideal 18 may want to roll from side-to-side; should this
occur, increase boomvang tension and sail the boat without
windward heel. Crew weight should be forward of the middle of the
boat for all wind conditions, but the crew may move back in
stronger winds or if water comes over the bow.
Page 21 of 28
While sailing with spinnaker, the spinnaker pole should be set square to the apparent wind. Keep the spinnaker
in front of the boat and out from behind the wind shadow created by the mainsail. If the spinnaker repeatedly
collapses, try squaring the pole by adjusting the tension on the guy while easing the spinnaker sheet. If the boat
is rolling too much in heavy breeze, ease the pole forward and trim the leeward tweaker to gain more control.
Also move crew weight aft.
During gybes with the spinnaker flying, the crew will hand the spinnaker sheets to the skipper, release the guy
from the pole and pull the boom vang to gybe the mainsail. While the crew is doing this, the skipper will free-fly
the spinnaker and move it across the boat in sync with the mainsail movement. The skipper will also be steering
the boat, keeping clear of nearby boats.
Steps to Hoisting and Dousing the Spinnaker
Contributor: Women’s Sailing Program
Spinnaker Hoists and Douses based on two people in an Ideal 18.
Hoists
Douses
1. Crew sets the pole on the final approach to
the windward mark (make sure tweaker is set
on the guy and the pole is 90 degrees to the
mast).
2. Skipper to bear off around the mark and let
main sail out while the skipper has both
spinnaker sheets and the crew hoists the
spinnaker.
3. Once spinnaker is flying, crew to furl the jib.
4. Crew cleats guy and plays sheet on spinnaker.
1. Put sail controls back on that were let off.
2. Crew to unfurl jib and cleat for windward
position.
3. Crew gathers foot of the spinnaker on the
port side of the boat and releases spinnaker
halyard.
4. Crew to pulls the spinnaker down into the
bag, making sure the port side of the
spinnaker goes into the bag first.
5. Skipper to head up around mark and trim in
main (crew can help with main trim).
6. Crew to store pole or just put into boat to
stow later.
Spinnaker Hoists and Douses based on three people in an Ideal 18.
Hoists
Douses
1. Bow crew set pole on the final approach to
the windward mark (make sure tweaker is set
on the guy and the pole is 90 degrees to the
mast).
2. Bow crew to feed spinnaker tack out of bag
and middle crew pulls the spinnaker clew to
the leeward side of the jib.
3. Skipper to bear off around the mark and let
mainsail out while the middle crew takes
both spinnaker lines and the bow crew hoists
the spinnaker.
4. Once spinnaker is flying, bow crew to furl jib.
5. Middle crew to cleat guy and play sheet on
spinnaker.
6. Bow crew to “clean house” and adjust sail
controls accordingly.
1. Put sail controls back on that were let off.
2. Bow crew to unfurl jib.
3. Bow crew to put pole away while middle
crew free flies the kite.
4. Middle crew then gathers foot of the
spinnaker on the port side of the boat.
5. Bow crew to release the spinnaker halyard
once the middle crew calls for it and
spinnaker is taken down quickly.
6. Skipper to head up around mark and trim in
main (or middle crew can help with main
trim), bow crew to trim jib.

Boat Setting Tips
Contributor: Terry McLaughlin
Terry McLaughlin sent these tips to Ideal 18 sailors in 2014. They provide a great introduction to boat settings
that can help you sail the boat faster.
Tweakers/Twings Always use them. Those who weren't using them were constantly reaching up to push the
pole forward on the guy to get it close to the tack of the spinnaker. The tweaker will ensure the pole stays
forward. Using the tweaker removes the need to use the pole downhaul, simplifying dealing with the pole. Make
sure the leeward tweaker is uncleated before hoisting the spinnaker. Make sure the pole is “jaws up”.
Jib Halyard Most people pull on the jib halyard at the dock and leave it there for the day or evening. It is an
important control of jib draft (maximum point of sail depth). Too much halyard tension (lines up the luff) in light
air moves the draft too forward and gives a poor entry to the sail. Too little halyard tension (lines perpendicular
to the luff) in stronger breeze allows the draft to move too far back. Make sure your halyard system allows you
to pop up on the foredeck and adjust the halyard before a race, between races or even during a race. A good
general rule is to set the tension to just take out the horizontal wrinkles. The amount of tension to do this will be
dramatically different out on the race course that at the dock in the lee of the trees.
Main Halyard Pull it as hard as you can. You are not pulling against the luff of the sail but against the shrunken
bolt rope in the luff.
Battens Sailing downwind with the top batten popped the wrong way is very slow. Always look up, especially
after a light air gybe when the batten may not pop on its own.
Spinnaker Pole Placement Storing the pole on the starboard side of the boom is a good idea in most wind
conditions. The night I was out the wind was 1-3 knots. In the extremely light air I would not store it on the
boom as the weight of the pole is tightening the mainsail leech a little bit and that is not what you want in those
conditions. As an aside – on the spinnaker takedown get rid of the pole early while the helmsman keeps the
chute flying. Jib out first then pole off. If you are rushed, don't bother to attempt to store the pole on the boom.
Throw it in the bottom of the boat, get the chute down before the mark, do a nice rounding and clean up the
pole on the beat when you have a chance.
Jib Furler Always furl your jib downwind. You need to make sure that the furling line and the jib sheets below
deck are set up so that all of the jib will furl yet you can still trim the jib in upwind as much as you need to.
Sailing downwind with two or three feet of jib pulled straight back in the middle of the foredeck is not good for
the spinnaker.

Tips for the First-time Racer
If you have not had a chance to race before, the primer below is a very basic introduction that can help you find
your way on a race course.
Setting the boat up correctly: The boat setting tips section written by Terry McLaughlin is a great primer for
setting up the boat for a race.
Have a plan: The skipper and crew should create a rough plan for how to sail the race. This will help you work
well together and help you make decisions when you interact with other boats or experience changes in the
weather.
Have a good start: Be on the line at go sailing fast. If you are not on the line at go, you have extra distance to sail
compared to your competitors and you will often be in their wind shadow.
Sail a straight line well: Having a perfect strategy and knowing every rule are only useful if you can sail your
boat as fast as the other boats on the same course. Sailing the boat with the sails trimmed correctly, ticklers
flying well, and clean air will help you sail a straight line fast and help to keep you with the fleet.
Sit forward in the boat: Unless it is so windy that the bow keeps digging in, sit forward in the boat. This keeps
the stern of the boat out of the water.
Basics of Rules: The following rules are a simplification of the Racing Rules of Sailing, but provide the basics.
Should you wish to learn more about the rules, consider sparking up a discussion following sailing!
1)
2)
3)
4)
5)
Starboard over Port – Port-tack boat must keep clear of starboard-tack boat.
Leeward over windward – Windward boat must keep clear of leeward boat.
Slower over overtaking – Overtaking boat must keep clear of slower boat.
A boat changing direction must keep clear of nearby boats.
Avoid contact!
Racing Rules of Sailing can be found at the following link:

John C. McConnell Trophy
International Star Class Trophy dedicated by Dr. F.L. Mills in 1939. Re-dedicated in honour of John C. McConnell
in 2013. Awarded annually to the crew of the winning boat in the August Ideal 18 Regatta.
Excerpt from October 2014 Kwasind:
Jack McConnell, who died in 2013, crewed for many skippers in
the Ideal 18 fleet and also on other boats in the Club. We all
loved his dedication to be a good crew.
As most trophies bear the skipper’s name, we thought it would
be appropriate to create a trophy for the crew. We selected
the Ideal 18 August regatta for this trophy, and Beverley
Darville, our Archivist, found the International Star Class
Trophy, created in 1939 by Dr. F.L. Mills, and dormant since
1970.
This trophy is now rededicated as the “Ideal 18 John C.
McConnell Crew Trophy". The first regatta was sailed in 2013,
and the trophy was awarded to Martha Henderson who
crewed for her father Paul.
In this year’s regatta, sailed August 23, eleven boats participated, one of the best turnouts we have had in the
recent past. Sailing five races in an easterly 10-12 knot breeze, each race was won by a different skipper. Will
Lockett and his daughter Gillian won, and the trophy was awarded by Alison McConnell, Jack’s daughter, to
Gillian Lockett.
