What the Heel?

Dear Admiral Mudgeon,

I really like to make my boat heel way over when I'm sailing, it is so muchfun!  I've been told that making it heel over too much doesn't make me gofaster.  Is this true?  I feel like I'm going really fast...

Sincerely,

Moe Tippen

Dear MoeYes, heeling is fun, especially when your inexperienced crew is

scrambling to the high side and screaming. Personally I like to get them onthe foredeck, jibe, roundup, and dump them in the water. And while that isgreat fun, it will seldom win any races.

So the question becomes do you want to have fun or do you want to gofast? I am not saying that the two are mutually exclusive but there is certainlevel of sophistication in appreciating real boat speed. I can have a greattime for a while with a bottle of MD 20/20, but there are better wines.When you know that you are sailing your boat at the very top of its speedpotential, it might take a little higher level of concentration, but that is funlike very little else. So in general, yes, flatter is faster.

Upwind, the boat that is upright presents deeper foils to the water, andminimizes undesirable leeway. Less heeling also means less weather helmand consequently less drag. I didn’t realize how important that was until asail maker demonstrated how lightly he holds the tiller. Different hulldesigns may have different optimum heel angles, but I don’t recall any boatdesigner actually specifying what that number is. The top sailors of anyclass of boat will usually have an optimum heel angle that they strive for. I find that five to ten degrees is good for me in most of the monohullboats that I sail, however there are notable exceptions. Some of the wingkeel boats like the Hunter 23 seem to point a little better with more heeling,because the wing has an angle that tends to pull the boat to windward whenheeled. I find the Precision boat line to perform better upwind with moreheel than I am used to. I have sailed the Precision 18, 21, 23, and the 27,enough to know that there is a maximum heeling angle beyond which boatspeed suffers greatly. Like seriously, not fast. I went sailing on a S2 9.1 Grand Slam in medium breeze and my jobwas trimming the mains’l. This boat had an impressive array ofinstruments. I was astounded to see that easing the main to attain tendegrees of heel instead of twenty degrees of heel resulted in a speedincrease of half a knot. I’m not saying that this is always the case becausethere are other factors to consider. In my tiny little world of

experimentation, on that day, in those conditions, half a knot was an eyeopener.

As a sailboat heels the shape of the hull tends to turn a boat towindward. This requires the rudder to be further from the center line tocompensate and maintain a straight course. The further from centerline therudder is the greater the drag through the water. More drag is less speed.Drag has some other potential benefits but speed is not one of them.

I have a friend that seems to have perfected sailing his boat flat. I ammystified by how he can keep the boat fully powered up and perfectly flat.My best efforts to copy his technique invariably result in beingunderpowered and going slow. That groove in which the sails are fullypowered and the boat is flat continues to elude me. (I am working on it)

There is a lot of information available about this in many books, sailingmanuals and on-line. So, yes I have a great time with the rail in the waterand in certain conditions it seems to be the only possible way to sail. So, ifyou want to scare, excite, or just make the crew squeal, power up, sheet in,and use both hands on the tiller. If you want to go fast, then learn to sail theboat with a light touch on the tiller.

Surveyor’s Corner – Hoses, Hoses,Hoses By Blue Squared Maritime’s John Gallagher

Hoses – we “see” them all of the time but seldom “look”at them for anything other than getting in the way ofwhatever you are trying to reach. There are hoses for exhaust,oil lines, fuel lines, engine cooling, raw water, fresh water,gray water drains, waste discharge, wash downs, etc.

As a surveyor I am particularly interested in hoses of alltypes and sizes as a hose failure can become catastrophic in avery short period of time. The two items of most concern arewater intrusion or fire risk. Realize that your engine isbasically a very powerful pump – air and water travel throughthe exhaust and raw water travels through the block, via theraw water pick-up pump and engine water pump, for cooling.A 20-30hp diesel engine can pump up to 3000 gallons-per-hour, quite a bit more than the 500gph bilge pump can handlecausing a “Mayday” to come forthwith (inoperative bilgepumps are another story). Additionally, fuel or oil line failure can cause afire which will quickly become out of control in less than a minute. Dieselmay have a lower flash point than gas but does burn and oil will flameup in a hurry.

Four key items to look for when inspecting your hoses: (1) Crack-ing along the outer walls – clear indication of wear and certain failureat some point. (2) Bulging – especially prevalent on exhaust (check theentire hose, exhaust manifold to thru-hull. (3) Corrosion at the fittingpoints or on the clamps – all exhaust hoses along with raw water hosesbelow the vessel’s water line should be double clamped withSTAINLESS STEEL CLAMPS, NO EXCEPTIONS. (4) Old fuel lines,

fuel lines older than 5-10 years (permanufacturer specs) need to be replaced.Consult your local surveyor to determinespecs).

Hose maintenance is a top priority,often overlooked, that can save you from abad day on the water . . . or it can save yourlife.

Smooth sailing to all,John Professional surveyor John

Ocala Sailing Club News from Charlene Johnson The Ocala sailing Club has been active since the first of the year. Wewound up our Fall Rum Race Series with Ed Sims in first place, PaulStraub in second place, Jim Edens in third place. However, all captainsentered in the series had their names put into a hat for the drawing for thebottle of Rum. It was our own Commodore, Art Twitchell whose namewas pulled from the hat. So who was the winner??!! J A hale and hearty group of about 17 sailors on four boats cruisedacross Lake Harris from Leesburg to the Hideaway Grill for lunch andgreat music on February 7th . The picture shows a great day on the water!So what if the wind was a bit light and the two motorized boats had tohaul the other two to shore in order to make our reservations AND getback by dark?! Also, the Spring Rum Race series commenced in Februaryand runs through March. This final prep for our Annual Regatta will endon March 14th But the biggest news is that our Notice of Race is posted to ourwebsite for the club’s annual event, the Harpoon National and Lake WeirInvitational which will be held April 17th – April 19th this year. It willrun out of the Kiwanis Club on the east side of Lake Weir. This is alwaysa great event, open to all. Water levels are up thanks to great rain. MCScows, Catamarans, San Juans and Catalinas are typical entries besides ofcourse the Harpoons. You can find the NOR on our website,www.ocalasailingclub.org.

MYC Spring Regattas from Dean WhiteMelbourne Yacht Club is hosting two Spring Regattas, April 18-19 &

April 25-26.With two weekends of sailing all types of boats on the Indian River

Lagoon - which typically has a good sea breeze and smooth waterconditions - these spring regattas offer something for all sailors.  Smallboats will sail April 18-19 from Melbourne Yacht Club (venue changefrom previous years).  Four or more boats make up a one design class.One designs usually sailing are Lasers, Sunfish, 420 as well asPortsmouth.  J/24, C-22, PHRF racing and Cruiser classes will make upthe Big Boat weekend on April 25-26.

Ft. Pierce Yacht Club Racing Scene from Mike O’TooleFort Pierce Yacht Club February racing took an unfortunate hit as the

Annual Regatta originally scheduled for the weekend of 13-15 Februaryhad to be postponed due to forecast strong winds and rough seaconditions offshore and in the Fort Pierce inlet entry. The Regatta hasbeen rescheduled for the weekend of 6-8 March and we are lookingforward to intense competition as the fleet is adding new members andseveral longer term competitors have gotten their boats up to racing trim. Despite the disappointment of postponement of the Regatta, the

philosophical nature of the group came to the fore and we decided to goahead with the planned pre-race Friday night barbecue anyway. Thedecision turned out to be a good call, as nearly sixty racers and other Clubmembers turned out for the event and organizers were delighted with theparty atmosphere and good fellowship. We will be scheduling similarrace related events with open invitations to the full membership includingthe rescheduled Annual Regatta on March 6th to 8th and the Pre-RaceBarbecue for the Fort Pierce to Port Canaveral Race on March 13th.All was not lost on the February racing scene however, as the second raceof the Winter Series, the Mardi Gras, took place as scheduled on 8February on the near offshore racing venue. Winds were light, but fairlysteady and sea conditions were moderate. A gradual shift of breeze fromSE to East favored the boats which took a position further offshore andlifted them to the 10A turning mark in good order, helping Mike O’Toole“Varmint” and Diane Korbey “Déjà vu” to first and second placerespectively. They were followed by Alberto Grubicy “Sin Fronteras” inthird, Ed Nebinger “Snow Bird” fourth and Howard and Janet Woodward“Tulius” in fifth position. Korbey’s new (to them) Freedom 35 is provingto be a force to be reckoned with, scoring first and second place finishesin the last two races.

We are excited about the upcoming back to back racing eventsscheduled in March beginning with the re-scheduled FPYC AnnualRegatta on the weekend of 6-8 March, followed in short order by theresurgence of what we hope to be an annual event jointly sponsored byMelbourne YC, Port Canaveral YC and Fort Pierce YC on 13-15 March.The intent is to race this year from Fort Pierce to Port Canaveral,followed by a race next year from Port Canaveral to Fort Pierce, thenalternating the race origins and destinations in future years. We arepleased to be part of what could become a significant Treasure Coastracing event and the three clubs welcome participation from interestedracers representing other regional yacht clubs.

At press time it appears that one or both of the above races mighthave to be postponed for a couple of weeks due to the unfortunate sinkingof a barge in the Fort Pierce Inlet and the resulting hazard to navigation.For updates or to enter any FPYC upcoming races, please contact FPYCRace Captain, Mike O’Toole at: <motoole@intaero.org>

Gold Rush Takes Catalina 22 Mid-Winters

The top three finishers at the Catalina 22 Mid-Winters hosted by theIndian River Yacht Club Feb 28 & March 1st, come from the select groupof usual suspects when it comes to C22 racing in central Florida. RandyPawlowski’s Gold Rush topped that group with a dominating performance,scorring five bullets in five races, to walk away with the overall 1st placeaward. Dave Ottaviani’s Go Daddy-O and Brad Ruffe’s Mercury Risingfinished tied for the second spot but Go Daddy-O took the trophy on a tiebreaker. Ruffe, coming off a win in the Catalina 22 Florida Championshiplast month, settled for 3rd. Racing was cancelled on Saturday due to poor weather conditions andwas rescheduled for an earlier start on Sunday which allowed the RC to getoff five races in much better conditions.

Canals By Dean Vanderbleek

“We have felt the incision of our lack of foresight many times in the past. Ihave but one question to ask – WHY? Why must we continually subjectourselves to the dangers of environmental catastrophe? If we are notcapable at this time to adequately manage our resources with the qualitynecessary to secure our future, then I say to you, is all the knowledgeacquired in recent years to be wasted on the experiences of our pastactivities or are we to profit by them?”-Fred Waldinger, Florida Department of Air & Water Pollution Control,November 1970. Official Statement issued regarding the St. Johns – IndianRiver Canal Proposal.

THE CROSS FLORIDA BARGE CANALNearly every long-time central Florida resident is aware of the failed

effort to build the Cross-Florida Barge Canal. Monolithic concretesupports for a bridge that was never built over a portion of the canal thatwas never dug still stand south of Ocala in the median of US Highway 441near the small community of Santos. The idea of such a canal was firstproposed by Philip II of Spain in 1567. It was repeatedly considered overthe years but found to be economically unviable. Secretary of War John C.Calhoun once again proposed a canal in 1818 in order to solve the lossesdue to shipwrecks and piracy. Over the centuries politicians and shippingmerchants discussed desire to avoid the treacherous route around theFlorida Keys by cutting across the state’s midsection from the Gulf ofMexico to the Atlantic Ocean. In the late 1950’s and early 1960’s, whenFlorida was growing by leaps and bounds and the Federal Governmentwas investing in interstate highway and waterway transportation projects,funding was allocated and work was started on the shipping short cut. 74million dollars was spent digging the west and central portions to the Gulfof Mexico and Ocklawaha River and building locks and bridge supportsbefore conservationists convinced officials to stop the digging. PresidentNixon’s executive order in 1971 killed federal funding for construction,and the project was officially cancelled in 1991. Few folks in the arearemember the associated St. Johns – Indian River Canal project proposedin conjunction with the Cross Florida Barge Canal that was shelvedwithout a single shovel of dirt.

THE ST JOHNS – INDIAN RIVER CANALThe St. Johns – Indian River Canal as requested by the US Army

Corps of Engineers in 1957 was a 35 mile long, 125’ wide by 8’ deepcanal extending from Sanford to Titusville. The proposed canal would linkthe Intracoastal Waterway and the Indian River just north of Titusvillewith the St. Johns River just south of Lake Harney. Combined with theCross Florida Barge Canal, the canal would have provided a shipping routeacross the Florida peninsula between the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf ofMexico. Construction was planned to begin in 1968 with an estimated costto complete of $27.5 million, and the canal was to open in 1971. However,delays to the Cross Florida Barge Canal project mounted and the projectedgroundbreaking was pushed back to 1970, then further. With conservationissues mounting against the project, especially with regard to spawningshad, construction never started. After the suspension of work on the CrossFlorida Barge Canal by President Nixon’s executive order, the CanalAuthority dissolved in 1973.

CAPE ATLANTIC ESTATES AND THE SOUTH COUNTYDRAINAGE DISTRICT

A spin-off speculative waterfront development known as Cape AtlanticEstates was proposed in 1967 by the Atlantic International InvestmentCorporation. 2.5 and 5 acre lots were offered for sale starting at $4,000each. The sales pitch involved flying perspective buyers over the area toshow the proximity of the Indian and St. Johns Rivers as well as theAtlantic Ocean. Individual investors from all over the US as well as

Europe, eager to buy land with potential ocean access in sunny Florida,took the pitch (hook, line and sinker!) and over 5000 lots were sold. Afterthe death of the St. Johns – Indian River Canal Authority in 1973, thedeveloper initiated the South County Drainage District in 1973. Severalsizeable dead-end drainage improvement, “canals to nowhere”, were dugand are still visible by motorists traveling on Interstate 95 through southVolusia and north Brevard counties. Conservationists and Brevard Countybiologists rallied against the work, and the Florida Department ofEnvironmental Regulation decided that no future dredging permits wouldbe issued. After several years of litigation and appeals, the AtlanticInternational Investment Corporation gave up on creation of the canalsystem. The platted lots are still documented in the North Brevard andSouth Volusia County plat books (though the promise of Atlantic Oceanaccess is long gone!) and the land-locked lots are still available forpurchase on Craigslist or through public auction for unpaid property taxes.

March 3, 1991 - Statewide - Many severethunderstorms and at least eight tornadoesstruck from Apalachicola to West Palm Beachas an intense squall line ahead of a cold frontswept across the State. Thirty-four severestorm reports were received, but propertydamage was minor. This outbreak isnoteworthy because the only injury was causedby 2.5" hail that crashed through the windowof a car, knocking the driver unconscious inVolusia County at Ormond by the Sea. This isbelieved to be the only serious injury from hailin Florida since 1959.March 7-9 - 1962 - Florida East Coast - Largewaves generated by winds of an intenseAtlantic storm pounded beaches along entireeast Florida coast during three day period.Tides along the coast at time of high tideranged two to 3 feet above normal. Waveaction caused considerable erosion and several beach roads and propertieswere inundated. Greatest damages occurred between Melbourne andMiami Beach. One death in Miami Beach occurred while fighting anelectrical fire caused when rising waters created a short circuit. Nearly alldamages resulted from heavy ground swells rather than high tides.March 10-11 1996 - Nassau, Duval, St. Johns and Flagler Counties - Astrong Nor'easter with winds of 50 to 60 mph caused damage from AmeliaIsland to Flagler beach. At Amelia Island, 6 to 12 feet of beach was lost onthe island's south end. Atlantic Beach - between one-third and one-half ofthe sand added during the previous summer's beach re-nourishment projectwas washed away. In St. Augustine Beach, about half of the beach re-nourishment project south of city hall was wiped out. In Flagler Beach,about 100 feet of the 840-foot pier was lost. Estimated property damagewas over $1 million dollars.March 12-13, 1993 – entire state of Florida - The "Storm Of The Century"roared across Florida producing a variety of severe and unusual weatherconditions for about 18 hours from late Friday the 12th through lateafternoon Saturday the 13th. A severe squall line raced eastward at over 50mph ahead of an intense low producing several tornadoes and strongdownbursts as it moved through the state and directly caused sevenfatalities. This was followed by an unprecedented (for the Gulf Coast)winter storm surge of nine to 12 feet in Taylor County, with storm surgesand/or tidal and wind driven flooding of five to 9 feet elsewhere along theGulf Coast to the Keys. This was followed by a period of eight to 12 hoursof high sustained winds of up to 50 mph with gusts to 70 mph, keepingtides much above normal along the west coast and causing severe beacherosion in many areas. As colder air poured in behind the intense low up tofour inches of snow fell in the panhandle from north of Pensacola toCrestview, and a trace to 3 inches of snow fell elsewhere across northFlorida. Record or near record low temperatures occurred over much of thestate the following two nights. Total number of fatalities from the stormwas 47, including 14 from storm surge and flooding, seven from tornadoesand/or strong downbursts, and four from high winds in the aftermath of thesquall line. Eleven people drowned offshore in the Gulf of Mexico afterstrong winds swamped or capsized ships (including seven crewmen from a200-ft Honduran freighter). Eleven others died during rescue operationsand cleanup activities. Total property damage was estimated at $l.6 billion.Additional Links

SJ21Fleet 29 at the LESC George WashingtonBirthday RegattaBy Willie Blevins

Thanks to our selfappointed fleet captain,and his Chihuahua likepersistence, a full fiveboat class of San Juan21s from Lake MonroeSailing AssociationsFleet 29 attended theGWBR at the LakeEustis Sailing Club.LESC has a greatfacility, and Fleet 29enjoyed the hospitalitywe were shown. WhenJuan Too Many andOl’ Yeller rolled in Friday afternoon, LESC was packed with Flying Scottsfrom near and far. The Wayfarer fleet, 420s, prams, and several versionsof the Laser, were present in varied states of being rigged. We squeezedinto a parking spot, and stepped the mast, while complaining about thecold and the oversight of the beer committee to replenish the keg. Ienjoyed seeing several sailors I have known for many years, especiallyDavid Moring, since he knew where the rum was stored. The commutefrom Sanford to and from Eustis proved to be shorter and easier than Ianticipated so in general, everything was quite acceptable. The rest of theFleet 29 attendees, Justice, Irish Juan, and Black Jack chose to arriveSaturday morning.

Saturday morning’s forecast had been really ugly most of the week,with temperatures equal to the frozen regions north of Jacksonville beingpredicted. In addition there was to be enough breeze to cause bonenumbing wind chill. In reality the four winds must have agreed to be alittle more gentle and the clear blue sky allowed the sun to warm away atleast one layer of clothing. There was adequate time after the competitorsmeeting to finish rigging, launch and get to the course. Juan Too Manysailed out to the course with plenty of time for the critically important firstspinnaker set, and douse of the day.

The pin end was favored just the tiniest bit for the first start, and all theweather info was predicting the wind to back virtually all day. Thisinformation indicated that there just might be an opportunity for a portstart at the pin. Not always a good idea, especially considering the

competition this day, but the large Scott fleet required a fairly long line,and it just seemed like the right thing to do. As it happened we were fiveseconds late and still crossed everyone on port tack with plenty of room tospare. There wasn’t even any yelling.

We held our own upwind and down until the first leeward mark. Ol’Yeller managed an inside overlap with a late douse, which escalated into abad rounding, which covered us (Juan Too Many) and instead of footingoff I tried luffing, that was a bad choice. Ol’ Yeller got clear, sailed away,and we stopped, dropped, and got rolled for two places. Our perfect startended with a third place finish.In the second race, we managed to take note of the lifts that were beinghad on the left side of the course during the first upwind leg. We appliedthat knowledge on the second windward leg and were rewarded with abouta twenty boat length lead over the rest of the fleet at the windward mark.We finished well ahead of the San Juan cluster, and felt somewhatredeemed.

In the third race, the spin halyard got away from me at the first drop,the kite went under the boat and it felt like we ran aground. Black Jack hadsome spinnaker issues about the same time, but managed to recover morequickly than we did. I was actually quite pleased that we got the chuteback in the boat without any damage, and managed to deploy it again onthe final leg. We finished last, but we looked good.

Sunday’s forecast was cold and windy, I was reluctant. The PRO toldme that the Wayfarer fleet had decided not to race so we would have ourown start, which was kind of encouraging and it did look like the rest ofthe group was sailing. So, we launched, only to find that the keel cable hadapparently broken during the retrieval on Saturday. After evaluating theproblem, and recognizing that the keel was in fact already down, weheaded for the start. Being almost late and slightly distracted by the bustedkeel cable I missed the change of course from four legs to five. At leastthose are the excuses that I am claiming. By the time I figured it out, wewere well out of contention for anything besides the big pickle.

In the last race we did better. By tacking on the shifts, and being(cough) conservative, we managed to get out front and stay there foranother bullet. We finished third overall and were pleased. LESC did afine job. Many thanks to them and my crew, Captain DJ McCabe of U-Sailof Central Florida, for a great regatta. I especially want to acknowledgeSan Juan Fleet 29 Captain Mike Loughlin for picking up the pom-pomsfrom our previous cheer leader and Fleet Captain Aggie Brown.

HSA Sailors Travel To Eustis from Steve Caron

Halifax Youth Sailing hasstarted the new year with alittle fun and a little frost bite.We welcomed our sailorsback on January 10 andstarted working toward ournext race, The GeorgeWashington Birthday Regattaat Lake Eustis Sailing Club. Practice concentrated ongood starts and lots of tacksand jibes. Coaches Ryan andAndrew Clarke, brothers, dida great job getting everybodyup to speed. HYS arrived atLake Eustis with seven sailorsready to compete in the Laserand 420 classes. Shifty lakewinds greeted the racers onSaturday with winds from theWest at 9-11 knots, but hey, at least there was wind. The race committeedid great job getting two races off before lunch and three during theafternoon session. The sailors did just as well, making progress with eachrace. Come day's end, all were tired, hungry and ready for the BBQ. Sunday arrived with a wind shift to the East at 12-14 knots. After afew capsizes, the races got started. The wind slowly decreased down to7-9 knots by the end of the third race. That was a wrap and we gave manythanks to the race committee. Time to get started packing up the gang. Iwould like to say congratulations on a well-sailed regatta to the sailorsthat participated; Emily Haws, Lauren LaBlanc, Brian Herbster, QuinnDuckett, Andrew Clark, Courtney Bertalli, and Dalia Lache. I also want tothank the parents of all my sailors. Without your support, the sailorswould not have, what I believe to be, an experience that will last alifetime. Time to get ready for the next regatta! March is pretty slow for HYS as far as travel goes, but we do have ourhome club race on the 28th, The Thunder Mug. Go towww.halifaxsailing.org, for the NOR. HYS plans on having plenty of theyouth sailors showing their stuff. The rest of the month will be spentimproving our boat handling and speed, along with spending more timelearning the rules of sailing and how to apply them. For those out there that have not given our sport a try, or are lookingto build on what you already know, make sure you keep your eye out forour Summer SailCamp dates and sign up.  Registration will be availablesoon at www.HalifaxYouthSailing.org. Until then, we will see you on thewater.

The first International Regatta sponsored by the Smyrna Yacht Club washeld in 1932 for both sail and powerboats. In those days, the SYC regattaswould draw spectators from 20,000 to 60,000. They came from all over theU.S. and Europe. Notable at many of these events were the Baron VonRothschild, and the undisputed king of unlimited hydroplane racing, GarWood. Racing at SYC continued through the 1930's, as the event sponsoredby SYC gained worldwide acclaim.

Sir Thomas Lipton is famous for his many America's Cup Challengeswith his famous "J boats." As a yacht racing enthusiast, Sir Liptonencouraged the sport by giving a number of prestigious trophies to yachtclubs around the world. In 1922, he donated a beautiful sterling cup toperpetuate the sport of yacht racing in the Central Florida area. The historyof this cup is shrouded in mystery up until 1941, at the beginning of WorldWar II, when the cup was placed in a bank vault for safety and forgottenuntil 1982. At that time, having sponsored International Lipton Cup regattasin the early 1930's, SYC adopted the cup in order to preserve the tradition.The trophy has resided in the trophy case at the SYC in a place of honor forover twenty years. Sir Thomas Lipton's Cup has banded SYC in a singleeffort to continuously stage a first class regatta, open to all those who wishto share the significance of the event.
