I heard something about this on the Radio Wedesday morning.
Reportedly the sailor was some 6 miles out the gate!  The
cruise ship made an attempt to throw him a line but was going
to fast, so they radioed the Coast Guard.  However, the 
sailor made it back under his own power!  They didn't say 
when he made it back -- I assumed he made it back on Tuesday
without spending the night out there, but I dunno for sure.  
I think they said the sailors name John Morris or something close.
The announcer said that he probably learned a lesson, but if he was 
anything like most of the windsurfers he knows, he probably 
went right back out.  Hehe, good one.

Anybody hear anything else?  Did he sail back, paddle or swim? 
Was he ok?  Did he lose equipment?  When did he make it back?
Enquiring minds want to know!

Which test was that? When the tiga 270 came out everybody seemed so be
saying that it was easily the fastest production board around, but
since then I have not heard much about it. The sputnik 270 seems to
dominate the world production speed events, so it gets a lot more
publicity, but I guess this could be down to the sailors who are

No, I agree, but it is more of a fashion thing. Flat to slight vee is "in".

Shoreline is a great place to learn to windsurf.  The winds are very light
in the AM and often get strong enough for shortboarding in the summer
afternoons if there is fog on the hills over Palo Alto.

Don't drink the water and you should have no problems.
On very warm August days in light wind, no wetsuit is needed.  Most other
days a shortie to a 4/3 is required depending on time of year.

$3 or $4.  You can get a season launch pass if you sail often.  A PFD is
required equipment.

Remove front end and get to justthe arms. I use a file to cut back the

This doesn't take too long and use a 'barstard' file which has
a rough cut to it.

Make sure you get grip to overlap on the outside of the boom.
This way the fingers dont lift up the overlap. Use a course sand

Although progrip does eventually get cut up, there is nothing else

i
Most modern sails are designed for large amounts of downhaul. THis means the
sail does not take its 'proper' shape until the downhaul is tightened just about
as tight as you can possibly get it.

The sahpe of the sail is maintained by the force on the downhaul, the bend in the
mast, and the batten tension. Sails which have a hih degree of tension in them are
more stable because they do not deform with gusts of wind and are easier to handle.

Once in its properly rigged state, putting more downhaul on the sail will flatten
it, and loposening it will make it fuller.  The purpose of the outhaul is primarily
to stabilize the clew. You should not need much tension on it and in fact some
modern sails actually requre a little negative outhaul.

Subject: Speed Sailing In The Gorge: The Real Poop!
Organization: Supercomputer Systems Division, Intel Corp.
Distribution: usa
Date: Wed, 30 Sep 1992 19:31:20 GMT

Since there has been some interest in the speed records posted at the
mouth of the Klickitat River in the Columbia River Gorge just west of
Lyle, Washington, I called a friend last night to get the REAL
information.

I talked with Charlie Escher who, wither Robert Hallman, has been
running the Jantzen/Windsurfing Hawaii Gorge Speed Series for Ken
Winner.  Charlie told me the latest spped mark was set, "a couple of
Saturdays ago."  He was probably refering to September 12th, although
it could have been the 19th.

The wind was blowing 30 to 35 MPH from a perfect direction for the
course.  The water was also low enough to expose the upwind sandbar
and block all the swell and chop across the course.

Sailing the course at 50.2 MPH was Ferris Hamilton.  He sailed a
Hi-Tech 15" (wide) speed needle, a custom Gaastra 4.7 speed sail and
an 8" True Ames Speed Series fin.  This is a raked-back fin!

Second that day was Brad Duffy at 49.1 MPH.  He was on a 4 year-old
16" CFX *polyester* board with a 5.0 North speed sail.  His fin, like
the next two finishers, was a 9 1/2" Rainbow Duff-fin.

Tied in third/fourth were Bruce Peterson and Rob Mulder on a 14"
Roberts speed needle and a 1995(!) version Sailworks speed sail.
That's right, folks.  You won't even be able to buy that sail until
LATE 1994.  At least, that's what Charlie said.

[This morning I talked with Tad Craig who works at Northwave.  He said
Bob Camp was 5th in the competition at around 48.6 MPH on a Seatrend
15" speed needle with a bulb tail, a STOCK 4.7 Northwave RX Slalom
sail and a Race-Tec fin (also raked-back)].

GENERAL OBERVATIONS

Charlie mentioned that the blade fins have just not been as fast as
the smaller raked-back fins!  No one this year has gone over 40 MPH
with a blade fin on the Klickitat course,  In fact, 80% of the sailors
are using the Duff-fin.  All of these fins are relatively thin and
generate very little lift.

Charlie said something about the fins having a 6% chord.  Does anyone
out there know if that is a reasonable figure and exactly what it
means?

Speed needles are 20 to 25% faster that slalom boards.  The fastest
production slaloms are peaking out around 40 MPH.

Charlie believes the big fin for next year will be the HAS Tuttle fin.
HAS stands for High Aspect Slalom.  It's currently being produced down
to around 10 1/2" but plans are for faster versions down to about 9"
for next year.  This fin is dramatically swept back.  Charlie says,
"It looks kinda' like a boomerang."

So, that's the straight poop from a reliable source.

I bought an engraver (about $12) and engraved all my boards and aluminum
masts with my driver's license number.  I then wrote my license number
on all my sails with a laundry marker.  I also have an inventory at home
of all my valuables.  From the discussion about insurance, I should

Reply-To: jmunkki@vipunen.hut.fi (Juri Munkki)
Organization: Helsinki University of Technology
Date: Sun, 4 Oct 1992 09:23:40 GMT

Some of you may remember my article on finding the right mast for the
North sails that I have. I came to the conclusion that the North constant
curve masts gave better results than the flex tops even though officially
North recommended the flex tops.

I have the 1993 "North Sails News" in front of me and it seems that now
North has 5 different flex curve classifications. The mast that I'm using
now (that I found to be optimal with my Gamma 5.5 and Infinity 5.0) has
"Mast Curve 2". Of course the new sails may require different masts, but
according to North, MC2 is ok for the Infinity 5.0 and Prisma 5.0. For the
5.5, the recommend MC3 or MC4.

The new classification do not prove that I was right or wrong, but they do
show that selecting a mast for a modern can be really tough.

----

The conditions here have been quite unusual. Usually I get to use my 3.6
once or twice during September. This year, I sailed twice in September.
Once with the 5.5 and once with the 6.5 (mostly non-planing). This
year has indeed been strange. (July is normally the "off" month, but this
year I sailed more in July than in any other month.

We got pretty good wind also (mid-NJ). I sailed wednesday morning on a 4.8

they were on 3.5's and 4.5's (heavyweights). The winds were mostly NE to E
so you had to go to the right places for the heavy air. Trixies and local

Tell me about it! Saturday morning (8:30) I was on the beach rigging my 4.8 
frantically when all of a sudden the wind died! Just fifteen minutes prior I 
called the hotline and it was a steady 24knots with gusts to 39. At the waters

somewhere hit a switch and the wind went from 39 knots to 8 knots INSTANTLY! 
It did not go over 12 knots after that the rest of the weekend.

Yes - wind chill protection.  I sail in the winter and when I take a rest I
find it is much warmer to leave the vest on.  Sometimes I put a windbreaker 
over it for added protection.

It even helps out on "cold SF summer days".

Generally, they mark the channel, on either side, although not necessarily.
They generally use different shapes or colors to distinguish one side or the
other so you can make sure you are on the correct side of them.

The rest of the stuff I don't know off-hand, but you can trot down to 
West Marine, on San Antonio
Drive, almost to 101 (going North on San Antonio) and look at the marine
maps they have for sale. You can get quite a lot of interesting info from
the maps, such as the depth changes. If you can't decipher the  marine map
symbols, you can ask one of the clerks for help.

great for a 150-180ish man, but it's way too floaty for me.  It's time for me 
to clear out some more space in my garage.  So I'm selling it for 
$550 (hull & footstraps only).
