The Commodore’s Corner
John Pfanner, Commodore
As I sit down to write this
month’s Commodore’s
Corner, I almost feel like I
am writing a letter home
with an update on how
things are going. However,
EYC has over 200 homes
and the letter is not about
me, but it is about our
wonderful Club—how we can make it better,
how we can make it more beautiful, and how we
can make it more fun.
This month my comments fall into three
categories: thank yous, the club grounds, and
upcoming events. First, thank you to John Demers for leading the skillful demolition of three
old floating docks and to Russell Petersen for
hauling away the debris. A half dozen other willing volunteers assisted in this tough, day-long
project. Many thanks to all who helped with this
much needed demolition.
Our Open House on May 9 was well advertised and organized, thanks to chairs Bill and
Nadine Powell. We received two, if not more,
new members for our efforts. Thanks also go to
Membership chairs Mark and Sheena Schroeder and all the volunteers that helped out. Our
next Open House is Saturday, June 20. On a
side note, a couple who saw our Open House
sign on Clear Lake Road were disappointed to

learn that we did not actually have a house for
sale. Unfortunately they weren’t interested in
joining EYC.
On the safety side of club projects, thank you
to Paul Stephens and Glen Hughes for installing a transition ramp on the A/B dock ramp.
Thank you, Paul and Glen! Glen is also responsible for getting the club a drink and snack machine placed on the Yot Pot deck. And while we
are talking Yot Pot deck, you will notice a newly
installed metal cabinet which will house club
radios, a public address system, racing support
materials and such. There is now a local-use
club telephone and our AED (Automated External Defibrillator) on the Yot Pot deck. Thank you,
Dave Brown, Leta and Terry Sellers.
We have a lot of news when it comes to
EYC grounds—and some more thank yous,
too. Thanks to all the volunteers—work party
people or not—for a great job of cleaning up
our grounds. Unsightly debris is being removed
from every nook and cranny. We are clearly taking more pride and responsibility for how our
club looks. Again, thank you all, and keep up
the good work.
At the May 12 Board meeting, the trustees
unanimously approved Mike Gerot’s design for
a west side trailer row parking, irrigation and
planting plan. Fifteen hundred dollars was allocated for plantings and another $1,500 for irrigation. Estimated completion time for this project is Spring 2016.
In preparation for our Memorial Day Regatta
on May 23 & 24, boat/trailer owners are reminded to remove their boats/trailer from the center
island by Saturday, May 16. The island will be
mowed on May 17.
Also on May 17, the west fence trailer and
boat parking area and the east side parking
areas will be mowed, as needed. The vegetation needs to be kept short for fire safety reasons. This is also part of our effort to keep the
grounds looking presentable. Please do not use
herbicide to address this issue. At our last board
meeting, the board unanimously approved a rule
change that would allow the Port Commission
to charge a boat/trailer owner $25 if their boat/
trailer has to be moved to mow. If the Port Commission has to move and mow under a boat or
boat trailer because there is vegetation growing
up through the trailer frame, you will be charged.
Our trailer committee members are Sue
Bloom, Dave and Kay Lee Brown, Rex Ballenger and Mark and Sheena Schroeder. The
trailer committee has suggested that the membership reconsider the policy of not allowing
slide-out trailers. For example, if a slide-out only
protruded on to the owner’s deck area and did
not unduly restrict passageways and lake views,
we might consider authorizing slide-outs on a
case-by-case basis. Please send or email your
comments to Sue Bloom (sksbloom@yahoo.
com) by May 30. The Board will consider this issue at the June 8 board meeting.
Trash collection is becoming a bit of a problem. We need everyone’s help in addressing this
issue. First, we are going to have our grounds
care contractor empty some of our high volume garbage cans more frequently. Second, if a
member is hosting a high trash volume event or
a trailer owner has collected a lot of trash, bag
the trash and put it in the metal dumpster which
is located in the cage north of the clubhouse.
Large trash bags are available in the bottom
drawer located at the east end of the clubhouse
kitchen.
Lastly, we had a catamaran sustain some unexplained damage. We do not

Memorial Day Potluck
May 30 6:30 pm
Memorial Day—first known as Decoration
Day—was originally observed on May 30.
At this month’s potluck, let’s remember and
honor the men and women who sacrificed their
lives while serving in our country’s military.
Bring a main dish, and salad or dessert to share with
members and guests. Please remember to bring your own table service.
The Commodore’s Corner
Reminder: The Ship Shape Committee reheats potluck
items, but does not cook them. If your dish needs to be
cooked, please do so before the potluck.
continued from page 4
know how this happened, but the message is
clear: if you are moving a boat and trailer, get
assistance, use a spotter, and be very careful
not to contact another boat.
Finally, a word about upcoming events at
the club. Memorial Day Regatta registrations
are ahead of last year at this point. This is a
very positive sign. Regatta chair Dean Mitchell has added a band in honor of our 75th year
as a yacht club. Come on out to the club on
May 23 and 24, race, sail or watch, and then
dance a little—it is all good fun. Christine
Kollmorgen, this year’s Sail School director,
states that plans for this year’s Diamond Jubilee Sail School are well under way. A limited
number of Sail School class slots are still available, so don’t delay in making your reservations.
Sorry for the extra-long “letter,” but there
are a lot of things going on to let you know
about! Hope to see you out at the club soon.

Happy Birthday, Dear Jo
photo by Rich Aaring
On April 26, about fifty people gathered at EYC to celebrate
the 60th birthday of long-time EYC bookkeeper Jo Walder.
Jo's parents were members of the club when Jo was born
and she was raised out here. She has held many offices and
worked on many committees over the years.
The highlight of the event was Jo singing the unofficial
Eugene Yacht Club Song with Commodore John Pfanner singing harmony (see page 15 for words and music). Many thanks
to Evert & Judy Slijper and Bob & Ina Swangard for organizing this event.
Thanks to All, from Jo
I would like to thank all those responsible for putting on my
party at the club. It was so much fun! And thank you to everyone who came. Some of you I hadn’t seen
in a long time, and it was great visiting and getting all the hugs and good wishes.
Evert Slijper and Ina Swangard sang a special Happy Birthday song to me in Dutch, which was a
real treat. I was happy to introduce a lot of people to the "yacht club song," which was well-received. I
think we will be singing it more often!
Remembering Betty Clark
Betty J. Clark, longtime EYC member, passed away on April 22,
2015 at the age of 87, after a long battle with pancreatic cancer.
She went through almost one year of chemotherapy, suffering the
difficult side effects of that treatment. But to the end she did not
complain and spent many hours with close friends and relatives
whenever possible.
Betty spent many years as a teacher before becoming a school
psychologist. Her 45 years as an educator allowed her to pursue and
achieve her desire to help children reach their highest goals. Betty’s
love for children was clearly
evident in all the many years
she spent helping out in the
EYC kitchen during Sail
School. She wanted to see as many kids a possible develop the
desire to sail and spend time on the water. This was her way of
passing on her love of spending time on the water with friends,
something she did regularly at EYC in her Catalina 22. Betty
was also an avid fisherwoman, making many yearly fishing trips
to Alaska. As a friend, sailor, fisherwoman, and dog lover, Betty
will be greatly missed.

We are in full swing: boats
are getting wet, racers are
racing, and Memorial Day
is a week away. I hope you
are all well into your season
as well. I, however, am not.
My boat is still on the hard.
And I am jealous of all of
you who have been out on
the water already. I hope to join you soon.
The remaining handbooks were mailed on
Monday, May 11, so everybody should have one
now. We have ten new picnic tables coming. They
are just like the ones we already have. They cost
about $200 each, so please be careful with them.
I have bought a box of clickers to open the gate.
If you do not have one, hit me up. They are only
$35. I hope to have them in the glass case soon
so you can buy some of our terrific EYC-branded
clothing at the same time. And we now have a
vending machine in the Yot Pot breezeway. It sells
all kinds of family-friendly drinks.
A big thank you to Dave Brown for teaching the rescue boat class again. I think about 18
people went through it this year. And thank you to
José Vega for putting in the new burners in the
grill. They work nicely.
The Northwest District Collegiate Dingy Elimination regatta was held at EYC on May 2. Twenty
races in one day! Congratulations to Western
Washington University and the University of British Columbia for securing the two spots back
east. In fourth were my Ducks and in third were
those pesky Beavers. OSU has had a great season and is sending a team to the Team Race Nationals, so congratulations to them. The UO Women’s team placed first at the Northwest Women’s
Qualifiers and is going to compete nationally as
well. EYC hosts both the UO and the OSU sailing teams, so congratulations to us as well. As a
long-time observer of small boat racing, I would
like to say that these kids are terrific sailors. The
www.eycmultihulls.com
Rich Aaring
level of sailing at the regatta was very high. They
knew their rules, and they are just nice to be
around. Our sport is in good hands for the future.
Money for moorage has been coming in fast
the last couple of weeks. Thanks. We are still
moving toward electronic billing. I am reminded of
the importance of this every time I spend $98 on
stamps for a billing cycle.
Get your work party in! And make sure I know
you did yours. Fill out one of those little blue slips.
They are in the clubhouse entryway. You can also
email me your hours if you wish (slowlaser@gmail.
com). There are organized work parties on May
16 and May 30, and one is also scheduled for
June 20. And let me give a special shout-out to
Nall Bodine who has been working on repairing
the west wall of the men’s room—and to all those
fellas who have been supervising him.
We have several new members and several
more in process. Please help make our newbies
feel welcome.
By the time this Bulletin comes out, our new
Emergency Cabinet should be functional.
Inside the Emergency Cabinet will be a Public Address loudspeaker system to be used in the case
of an emergency. It will have the rescue boat keys
and portable radios. It will likely have a first aid kit
(there are kits in the restrooms as well). It should
have phone numbers for emergency services and
information on emergency protocols. This new
cabinet is located in the Yot Pot breezeway next
to the ice machine. A gate key unlocks it.
As the season hits full stride I encourage you
to come out to the club and engage in some of
the organized
activities. Or
come out and
get yourself
on the water
someway. Or
come out and
just hang out.
Our club is a
nice place to
just be.

Port Captain Report
Gordon Mattatall, Port Captain
Remember as we move into the summer months to keep the area around
your boat clean and cut the grass. This also means the people that have
their boats on the back lot. And look at the little bits of trash that may
blow into your area. It only takes a second for all of us to pick up one
item and throw it away. If we all just pick up the little bit then no one
has to pick up a lot. Please be sure to take your empty cans and bottles
home, as we do not have anyone picking up the empties at this time.
We have regattas coming up and I would like to request that everyone get
their boats out of the center parking area. If you were not planning to put your
boat in over the next couple of weekends, please move it to the back row along
the fence on the west side of the grounds. This will open up the center parking area and give the club
a friendlier, more welcoming look.
Once again, I would like to ask that as you use the floating dock please check your hinge pins and
hairpin clips. The hairpin clips will break and can be replaced before the hinge pin falls out. The clips
are a lot less expensive than the pins. Currently we only have about 30 pins. We are ordering more
hairpin clips so that we will have a good supply.
As always, please check your OR registration and make sure you are up-to-date. We have several
Lasers and other boats that do not have current registration stickers or no registration stickers, so
please check to make sure yours is current.
Remember that we are a yacht club and not a storage lot for derelict boats. John Franklin will be
helping me this year with the policing of the boats that are on the grounds. Please be courteous to
John and if you have an issue, contact me as he is working on my behalf and not his own.
All the ice machines should be working in full swing. If you notice an issue please let me or Glen
Hughes know so we can address any ice-maker problems right away.
Work Parties Going, Boats are Moving, Grass Keeps Growing
Glen Hughes, Port Commissioner
EYC has a few more work parties scheduled to help get the grounds in their best possible shape
and to help you get your work party hours completed before the July 31 deadline.
The first work party is set for Saturday, May 16 starting at 9:30 am. There will also be work
parties on May 30 and June 20. There’s plenty of work to do, and most of it requires at least a
couple pairs of hands to get it done. Working together allows us to accomplish so much more.
Thanks to everyone who moved their boats and trailers out of the center parking area last weekend. This is an important step in preparing for upcoming summer events. Many of you have been
taking the time to keep the area under your boats/trailers maintained, which is also much appreciated.
There are several boats in every area of the club where the grass is very tall. This Saturday, May
16 we will have to use work party hours to maintain some of these areas. EYC will assess a fee of
$25 to the owners of these boats/trailers.

Volunteer Needed to Measure Moorage Slip Depths
Mike Merrifield, First Trustee
I’m still looking for a volunteer to help record the depths of the slips on EYC docks. This information will be added to the spreadsheet of Fern Ridge Marina Slip Depths. Anyone using this link (http://
goo.gl?HqxxZ) can view the spreadsheet.
Nearly two years ago, Scott Coleman, owner of Underway LLC, recorded depth soundings at all
of the Richardson and Orchard Point slips and ramps. EYC member Ron Saylor got involved and put
together a spreadsheet with the data calculating the slip depth given a lake elevation as input. I made
the spreadsheet available online and integrated it with the live Army Corps of Engineers lake level
data. The spreadsheet shows the current slip depths based on the actual lake level.
Recently, I added a “Eugene Yacht Club” tab (look for it along the bottom after "Lake Elevation"
and click on the tab to make it active). Listed below the “Current Lake Elevation,” you find the depths
for EYC boat ramps and the hoist basin.
What this spreadsheet currently lacks are depth sounding data for all EYC slips, information that would be quite
useful for many members.
If you are interested and have the means to record the
depth in the middle of every slip on our docks, (along with
the date and time of recording), I would be able to update
the EYC tab to show actual slip depths. Please contact
This would probably not be the most efficient
me at 541-357-8901 or merrifie@gmail.com to help keep

EYC’s annual 4th of July celebration is coming!
This year we’ll have face painting, an old-fashioned parade, a

and, of course, one of the best fireworks shows around!
In order to have this much fun, we will need some volunteers!
If you’re interested in helping out, please contact Stephanie

Sail School Ready and Set to Go
Chris Kollmorgen, 2015 Sail School Director
Working together, an all-volunteer crew (45 people strong) will be providing a family sailing experience not to be forgotten at this year’s Diamond
Jubilee Sail School. We have 60 students signed up so far, which means we
have until June 1 to sign up 15 more!
The Catamaran class is full and unless we discover another volunteer
adult instructor, the centerboard class is full as well. There is still room in
Diamond Jubilee
Zuma and Laser Classes. Registration forms are at the end of the newsletter
Eugene Yacht Club
starting on page 22.
1940-2015
An all-instructor meeting will take place on Sunday, June 7 to finalize
class placements. Students will receive confirmation of their classes by June 8.
Parents, if your student is in a Laser class, please plan on coming to the Mandatory Laser Readiness Check on Sunday, June 21 in the afternoon near the Laser rack. Kay Lee Brown and Ron Fish
will be there to help ensure your boat is ready to sail the next morning when the fun begins. Scott
Coleman will be on the grounds to help register boats, too.
The following is the planned weekly schedule of events. We’ve done our part, and we trust that
Mother Nature will take care of the rest. We can’t wait to see you there!
Any questions, please contact me at kollmorgen@comcast.net.

Thursday Night Racing Notes
Michelle Wood, EYC JRC Chair
Hello all. Thanks very much to Rich Aaring who has been out early for every
Thursday night race this season to make sure keys, radios, and other needed
items were accessible and available to the Race Committee and Rescue Boat
operators. Soon (probably by June 1), we will have a new policy fully in place.
I will alert RC/Rescue crew to the changes as they occur when I send out reminders.
Also, thanks go to Nick Pierce, the TYC Race Chair, for picking up the raw
scores during all of spring series and posting them on the JRC website. Please,
Race Committee teams, continue to record all starts, times, and number of
boats in each fleet, and leave the results in the Committee Box on board the
sled. Thanks!
Racers, remember that on Thursday night the finish line is restricted but
the start line is not restricted. When you round the upwind mark, there is no tactical need to plan to
avoid the start line even if it is still in place.
I believe that burgers will be at Richardson in June. Please be alert to that change if you get hungry
next month and no one is cooking at EYC!
See below for RC and Rescue assignments for the next few weeks.

Lido Fleet 81
Becky Barker, Fleet Captain
Hello Sailors! I thought I would
catch you up on what your own
Lido Fleet 81 is up to. We’ve
had two tune-up nights under perfect conditions
and now we’re into the spring series of races. Our
first week’s races had three boats and this week
we had five boats with rigorous starts, exciting
roundings, and fast finishes.
We are anticipating a rather impressive turnout of Lidos for Emerald Cup on June 27 & 28. So
far we have four boats from Portland, four from
RESCUE
Dave Brown team
Sellers
Walkup
Burand
Swangard
Seattle, and some top guys from California. Why
not break out your Lido and join the fleet?
We’re looking forward to 2016 when we’ll host
the Lido National

Russ Petersen, Fleet Captain
It’s a new sailing year and we’re glad to finally be able to use the hoist again!
Some of us enjoyed the hot weather down at Folsom Lake while participating in the
Camellia Cup Regatta last month.
Here at home, the spring season has seen tight racing already with just a few
seconds separating boats! Our off-season training and schooling at our meetings
seems to be paying off.
We are looking for all you Santana 20 sailors to put your boat in the water and come out and have
fun with us on Thursday evenings! Just send me an email at russ9993@comcast.net and I will get you
help setting up your boat and give you some helpful hints to get you up and racing.
Hope to see you out there soon!
Test Your Rules Smarts
Boat L (a leeward boat) and Boat W (a windward boat) are approaching the starting line. Both are
on starboard with W near close-hauled and sailing slowly. L becomes overlapped not far to leeward
of W from clear astern. The two boats sail for a few seconds, on parallel courses. L then hails her
intention to luff. W immediately reacts by shoving her helm
down hard and tacking. During her maneuver, the port of
W’s transom contacts L near amidships.
In her protest, W claims that L
became overlapped too close thereby
denying W of “room to keep clear” as
required by Rule 15.
The protest committee found that when L
became overlapped, W was in fact keeping
clear because the boats were not on a collision
course and because L would not immediately hit
W if L changed course. The Protest Committee also
found that W had enough room to luff away from L
provided she luffed slowly. W is penalized for breaking
Rule 11 (a windward boat shall keep clear of a leeward boat). Was the Protest Committee correct?
Answer: When L becomes overlapped to leeward of W, she is initially obligated by rule 15 to give
W room to keep clear, which she does. W made an unnecessarily extreme luff and hit L. The Protest
Committee was correct.
Dave Perry adds that he was once on a protest committee for a similar case except that the
two boats were only a foot apart and L initiated the contact quickly after the overlap. Both boats
protested. The committee held in favor of the windward boat. And since there was contact, the
committee did not have the option of tossing the protests. Lesson one: avoid contact. Lesson two:
your odds in the room are at best 50-50. Lesson three: Settle it on the water.

OSU Sailing Update
Part of the OSU Sailing team competing at the
collegiate regatta held at EYC on May 2.
Sailing Team Race National Championships and
the Fleet Race National Championships. We will
have a rigorous five days on the water, sailing
out of the New York Yacht Club and competing
against numerous Ivy League teams who enjoy
countless resources. Team Race Nationals bring
together the top 16 schools in the country to
compete for the national title, while Fleet Race
Nationals tests the top 36. For us, these events
represent years of hard work, cold days, and
intense passion. We could not be more grateful
for the opportunity to sail alongside the best
sailors in the country.
We invite you to follow our experiences on our
Facebook Page, Oregon State Sailing and cheer
us on as we work to continue to grow and learn.
Please consider helping to lighten the financial
burden that nationals places on our sailors by

Four years ago, it was hard to
imagine that the Oregon State
University Sailing Team could
be where it is today. The team
was sparse, typically filling
only a single FJ at practice and
rarely making it to a regatta. If anyone had told
us that in just a couple years, we would be the
largest team in the Northwest Conference, even
we wouldn’t have believed it.
Progress was made with countless hours of
recruiting and an intense desire to share our love
for the sport of sailing. Our accomplishments
these past few years are impressive, especially
when you consider that we have no coach and
are, by every definition of the words, a studentrun organization. This drive and passion has led to
us earn the Northwest Team Race Championship
title this year with a very convincing 8-1 record.
As a team, we believe the core of what makes
us successful is the belief that everybody can
excel. We don’t buy into the idea that a great
team is made up of great freshmen. We believe
that it is a love of this sport, a desire to learn,
and a willingness to work hard that makes our
team successful. At this point, we are comprised
of a significant number of sailors who had never
been in a sailboat, and most of our team had
never raced prior to college. But through the OSU
Sailing program, we have come together as a
group of friends who not only love to sail together,
but who support one another in our victories both
on and off the water. Each one of us can imagine
that after graduation, we will not only continue
to sail, but continue to stay in touch with our
teammates. This is the foundation our team has
been built on, and it’s a formula that has clearly
and thoroughly worked.
On May 28 we will be off to Newport, Rhode
Island, to represent the Northwest at the College

A Memorable Memorial Day Regatta
Jo Walder, Unofficial Club Historian
In honor of EYC’s 75th anniversary, we are reprinting articles on EYC’s history. Originally published in June 2012, this one recalls a Memorial
Day Regatta more than fifty years ago.
The weekend of May 29-31, 1954 was the date
of a regatta hosted by the Eugene Yacht Club
at Fern Ridge Lake. Proudly boasting improved
facilities, including a new sea wall, slips, and an
electric launching crane, EYC invited sailors from
all over the Northwest to attend. According to
Commodore Walter LaDusire, this was the first
time the regatta included the state championship
races in the Lightning and Flattie classes. With 17
Lightnings in a fleet formed just a year prior, EYC
had the largest Lightning fleet west of Chicago.
The Race Committee was chaired by Manning
Barber, Sr. with assistance from William Wolfe.
a Flattie afloat on Fern Ridge
Sailors prepare their boat at EYC’s new and
improved “electric launching crane”
The race course was set as a triangular course
with a 5-6 mile total distance. One race was held
on Saturday, and two on Sunday. There were
starts for the following classes: International
14, Lightning, Flattie, Unlimited, Power Predicted
Log, and El Toro. On Monday, a “free for all” race
was held. There were 50 boats participating, and
about 200 people attending.
For those unfamiliar with Predicted Log races,
this is a race where the skipper of each boat
predicts exactly how long it will take to navigate a
prescribed course by setting certain speeds and
calculating wind and tide. There are certain check
points along the course, and the skipper must
also predict the precise moment when the skipper
feels the boat will pass these check points.

A free—at least for visitors—breakfast being prepared inside the original EYC Clubhouse
What’s a regatta without food? Lunch was served on Saturday and Sunday for visiting yachtsmen
only. Saturday dinner was at the clubhouse. Breakfast was served on Sunday, and it was free for visitors but 50 cents for members. Putting on these meals apparently required a huge team of people.
There were over 75 couples’ names listed on the various meal committees in a Register Guard story!
An Awards Banquet was held at the Laurelwood Golf Course on Sunday night. Cost was $2.50 per
person. The famous EYC Barber twins, Merrit and Manning, won the state Lightning championship.
Other EYC trophy winners were Barky Slocum in the El Toro fleet and Commodore Walter LaDusire in
Power Boats.
Incidentally, this regatta was not initially called “The Memorial Day Regatta” even though it was
held on the observed weekend of Memorial Day. The preferred name for the holiday gradually
changed from Decoration Day, first used in 1882 to honor Civil War dead, to Memorial Day, which became more common after World
War II. Memorial Day was not
declared the official name of this
holiday until 1967.
This photo was printed in The
Eugene Register-Guard with the
following caption:
“Manning and Merrit Barber,
Eugene twins, receive joint award
as champions in state championship Lightning class yachting
races in Eugene recently. Trophy is
presented by Commodore Walter
LaDusire of Eugene Yacht Club.
(Which twin is which? We don’t
know, do you?)”

Early Season Practice—with Spinnakers
Andrew Kerr, Sailing Coach
We have all been on boats where the spinnaker
collapses consistently on jibes or on takedowns
when the spinnaker pole is taken down. Keeping
the spinnaker filled through a jibe can be challenging, particularly on shifty days when the velocity is up and down, or in light air. It can make
for a tricky day on the water for everyone.
Here are two effective elements to practice
with a team early in the season related to spinnaker jibes and free-flying the spinnaker prior to
the takedown. These ideas can help, particularly if
you have a new trimmer or driver on your team.
Florida years ago. Before the start of the first race
of a three race day, the spinnaker pole broke and
was inoperable. So we raced all day with no pole
and we were fast. We kept the windward twing
well-eased and heeled the boat to windward
about 8-10 degrees. The bow person enjoyed the
day since all he had to do was call the wind!
The point, though, is that the pole is an extra
and ideally your team should be perfectly comfortable flying the spinnaker without it.

Spinnakers Free-fly Prior to Takedown
Have fun out there, and best of luck in your
next race!
photos by Richard Johnson
There are several key elements to remember
when free-flying the spinnaker prior to a takedown. First, if there’s enough wind, as soon as the
pole is stripped, pull the pole back to help stop
the spinnaker going behind the mainsail. Second,
if there’s enough wind, heel the boat to weather
slightly to stop the spinnaker rotating behind the
mainsail. And lastly, if there’s enough wind, the
driver needs to bear off to a run—almost by the
lee—to help the spinnaker fly from the mainsail.
The more confident the team is that the
spinnaker is going to free-fly effectively, the more
confident they are going to be in orchestrating an
effective take down and leeward mark rounding.
Just one more skill to practice in your quest for
that competitive edge!
With practice, flawless spinnaker takedowns and
jibes will become part of your sailing repertoire.
