Race Report, Fall 5

Thursday, September 18th, 2008

Report from Gosling #17

Team: Tom Derecktor, Peter Stalkus, Sharon Mooney, Susan Mortgu

Pre-race wind checks showed a swing between 190-205, with stronger pressure center channel and occasionally right side. Low water was at 15:36; the flood developed a bit late, but came in strong due to the moon tide.

At the start most boats, including 145 (1st) and 108 (3rd) went for pin end probably for tidal relief and left wind favor. Our original plan was to go 30 percent pin end and look for a clear lane above the fray and extend on a long starboard beat. At the four minute mark we altered our plan as the pressure appeared to move more center-right. We started mid-line, were held on starboard tack by two boats a little longer than desired but once clear, tacked to port in a nice lane of pressure and left shift in center channel. This consolidated our position favorably with the 6-8 boats heading to the Dumplings on the Jamestown side. Meanwhile, most of the fleet fought each on the left (Newport) side. 145 followed by 108 excelled by working left shifts and avoiding the soft spots off Fort Adams. We stayed on the center/right side of the course, worked a few shifts in pressure to offset the developing flood tide and transitioned across to Hammersmith in good pressure, but hit wild shifts as we neared the mark, which we rounded in 3rd position. 145 had a flawless first leg and launched into the lead.

On the down wind leg the flood was well established, making it worthwhile to work the center channel. We found more pressure in the center that added to the tidal boost, and managed to get by 108 who went further left. The sloppy conditions from a few power boats and the decreasing breeze put the pressure on to “heat it up” and keep the boat tracking. Heading low was very slow; we kept our pole 2 to 4 ft off the headstay the whole leg. We rounded the last mark in 2^nd place, with 145 already half-way to the finish.

The last beat tightened up the 6 leading boats. We hung on port for most of the leg, favoring the right side with minimal tacking. 201, 108, and 245 were close behind, but we managed to hang on to second place for the finish.

Setup

800# on the uppers
Barely hand-tight lowers
47” on the headstay datum

Observations:

Our teamwork has steadily improved this season. The combination of Peter (or Phil’s) tactics, Susan’s chute work, and Sharon’s foredeck acrobatics is phenomenal, making any driver look good.
Actively recording the shifts is helpful visualizing the trends (although Peter, who contributed heavily to the commentary above, does it in his head).
Playing the backstay with the changes in pressure has had a huge impact
Thanks to Hull Commandos for keeping our bottom clean

Congratulations to Ted Fisher & Crew for a perfect race on 145. Thanks to Robin and the RC Team for another beautiful race on the Bay.

Bullet Blog, Fall Race 4

Thursday, September 11th, 2008

To quote one of the literary greats, John Burnham, “Shields don’t like sailing with other Shields. That’s something Charlie Levy always told me, and it’s true. You almost always go faster when you’re in your own patch of wind”; an excerpt from http://www.northsailsod.com/class/shields/shields_teamprofile1.html

That being said, I don’t have anything tactical, tuning, or revealing, just this: the need to keep clear air heading into this ebb was going to be critical (and don’t tack too much!). We were able to nose out with a good start at the boat, and stayed middle-left of the beat, finding the wind was best right in the middle of the channel approaching the bridge. Every time we looked around, it appeared either side of the course was doing better, then much worse, then better again. After lee-bowing 217 and then passing under the bridge, we noticed #1 had come out of the right side looking fast, and we crossed over to the Coaster’s Island side of the course; approaching the windward mark, the guys coming in from the left side (101, 33, 167) were looking great on port tack, and lifted. We were able to round first just inside 167.

Downwind we were able to keep our momentum and clear air, and a hot angle and the outgoing tide seemed to keep us pointing toward the bridge, and we headed to the middle of the channel again. After the bridge, 33 and a couple other boats had taken the low road along Rose Island, and could very well have been a whole lot closer, just one shift away. We managed to hold off 217, and worked to keep pressure on the kite in the lightening breeze. Someone correctly read the code flags on RC, and Robin later confirmed the downwind finish on the shortened course; a beautiful night finished even better.

Thanks to Race Committee for another great race!

2008 Nationals

Monday, September 8th, 2008

Fellow Shields Sailors - Please view the attached regarding upcoming Shields NationalsTHE DEADLINE FOR NATIONALS IS OCTOBER 1

The Shields Nationals this year are, for the first time ever, at the Tred Avon Yacht Club on Maryland’s Eastern Shore, October 15-18.

The web site is www.shieldsclass.com/2008/index.htm

After Oct. 1 there is a $75 late fee.To register, you need to have a certificate of compliance from me, which means you need to fill it out and get it to me in advance. Go to above website for Certificate of Compliance.

The entry fee is $550 which includes all dockage, launching, evening functions which includes a crab feast and the awards dinner (for four — extra folk are $115).

The sailing, on the Choptank River, should be like what we have been experiencing all summer, smooth water, lighter air, a great chance for anyone to bring home bragging rights FOREVER.

Already committed is 107 Grace; and I believe 201 Raven. I am sure there are others so let’s talk it up, and let’s keep the trophy in Fleet 9!
