Sailboat 85' Mast; Bridge
65' Clearance
So you want to travel the ICW (Inter-Coastal Waterway) with a mast higher than 65 feet! This boat came in last night at Vero Beach. It has an 80 foot mast and 7 foot 10 inch draft. Each water bag weighs 2000 pounds.

Members' access to websites
Poul,
It was agreed at the UKWA
committee meeting on Saturday that members of overseas NCA's should
have access to the members only section of the UK Website. Bob Harland may
therefore make an occasional request to check that a subscriber is a
current member of the relevant NCA.
Best wishes, Ralph |

Uncle Al to present Upwind Sail Tuning Made Simple live at MSC on Sat 15 March From: Al Schonborn
[mailto:uncle-al3854@cogeco.ca] Hi, Gary:
... I had
hoped to get to this past Saturday's Gathering but the car logistics
couldn't be worked out. Looking forward to Sat 15 March where my topic
seems pretty open. Has anyone indicated any preference for what they'd
like to hear? We could make it an open Q/A period?
Or, Upwind Sail Tuning Made Simple would be a useful topic that I think is the best thing I have ever done. If it isn't too similar to this past Saturday's topic, I could bring the PDF version on a CD and we could go through it if you can get a projector and a screen? Have a look at it and see what you think. At the very least, you'll like the fact that it is illustrated with lots of CL pics from the - now defunct - Can Am regattas at Talk to
you soon,
Uncle
Al (W3854)

Hello Master
Sailor!
I think your presentation is extremely good and would probably like to take advantage of it. I will ensure a projector and screen are made available. There is a lot of information so I will speak to people and get an idea on what areas we want to focus on. Take care and will speak with you soon. Gary McIlroy

Hi, Gary:
Have polished the PDF
version - now posted
- and will be all set to go on the 15th. Obviously, there is no way I
should just read it to people. Instead, I thought I'd just go through
the major points, perhaps relying on the images and brief commentary to
get us through the whole thing. The best thing should be that people
can ask for explanations of what I have not made clear enough.
May possibly see you on
Saturday the 1st, but on the 15th for sure!!
Best regards,
Uncle Al (W3854)

The vote was overwhelmingly in favour - I don't have the
exact figures but something like 190 for and 22 against.
Now we can all get on with our lives.
Kind regards,
Gordon
Al's note: The CWA and USWA have already officially approved this solution, and the SWS has given its unofficial blessing. Ratification by NedWA is expected soon. In essence this means the solution is now WIC-approved! |
