Team Ruff Rider Wins the Great Texas
Race
The morning was kicked off with an 8 AM Skippers Meeting and a 9 AM
start to the second annual Surfside to Galveston Dash. This year
there were 23 Dash teams, so the first line of 11 boats left the beach
at 9 AM and the second line of 12 boats left the beach two minutes later. Pat2
got a slower start, leaving about 15 minutes after the last Dash boat left
the beach. The
winds and surf were light, but getting out was not a problem and all
23 boats were on their way to East Beach in Galveston. For More

Team Ruffer Holds Lead in Great Texas 300
A
storm we saw on the radar finally hit us on Mustang Island and
brought with it heavy winds and quite a bit of rain. The temperature
also cooled off and after the storm passed, the wind died down significantly. Team Yost limped
their way across the finish line with no boom or main sail and a hole in
their spinnaker, followed a little over 30 minutes later by Team Salva
Vida Vela. Team Poison Girl came in about 20 minutes after that. Team
Rudderless made it in around 9 PM, with you guessed it, one rudder. Steve
Piche said that they came up on the back side of the storm and that’s
when things got nasty. Team Chums hit the darkened beach
about an hour and half later and Team Jack Flash finally arrived
about 35 minutes after that. Two
boats were lost. For more story and pictures, click

Skip Kaub Wins Wave Midwest Championships
Local sailor and fairly new to the game of catamaran racing, Skip Kaub
has slowly climbed the ladder toward racing success. An finally hit the
top rung by winning the regatta in a tie breaker with past National Champ,
Patrick Green. This fleet was loaded with hotshot sailors, but Kaub put
it all together in the light, fluky winds to prevail. For more story and
pictures, click here!
Gnarly Start and Only Two Casualties
The surf was pretty tough and most of the fleet did just
fine getting through it, except for Velocity 3. The drifted to shore, straightened
things up and headed back out, losing around 10 minutes. Another
boat capsized farther out . It was Velocity 2. They got it upright, did
a man overboard drill and started off, then capsized again. Meanwhile Mischa
Heemskerk on the Wildcat
zoomed off to a huge lead right off the start. For more Story, Video

The
Start Could be a Challenge on Second Leg of Tybee 500
Winds are expected to be around 20 mph and
higher today from the east. That means the surf is up and the wind is right
on the nose. Busting out through the waves may be a challenge for the
sailors today. Racing is very close
in time and still it is anybody's for the taking. Some of the fleet are
a couple hours behind already, but the top 10 are all in the hunt. Be
sure to watch the Streaming Live Video by Tad Pecorak as he will be on
the beach shooting the start. There you can watch the thrills and spills
of the start LIVE. For More story, pictures and streaming video,

And they are Off on the First Leg of the Tybee 500
16 Teams made up of four F18s and twelve Nacra20s, had a deepwater start

on the nose. This leg is going to be a long beat, and a long day. For more

Great Winds for Three Days in a Row, and Warm
The new format for the Tradewinds Midwinter National Cat Championships
worked extremely well. It was changed to a 3-day event and had separate
courses for the Spinnaker Boats and the Non-Spinnaker Boats. Winds seldom
dropped below 15 mph and only a few gusts over 20 mph, and all in releatively
flat water -- absolutely perfect conditions for catamaran sailing. For

Woehrle Wins North Americans
In his debute to the Wave Class, newcomer Jack Woehrle of Gainsville, Florida
showed he had the consistancy to take all the marbles. It all came down
to the last few races, but he nipped out past NA Champ, Rick White, by
only a few points. Interestingly,the competition was absolutely fierce.
You could not get closer racing. Just look at the number of bullets and
by whom. Six different boats took a first place finish:
Woehrle had 5 aces (three in a row), Rick White had 4 aces (three in
a row), Stan Woodruff had 4 aces,
4. Mark Scarpelli had 2 aces, Sharon Woodruff had an ace, Nelson Wright
had an ace, Scott Hubel just narrowly missed being the 7th boat with
an ace by a few inches. For more

Conditions as Lohmayer and Sonnenklar Win the 25th Annual Key Largo Steeplechase
This 110-mile mini-distance event has been ongoing for 25 years and has
attracted some of the greatest sailors of catamarans in the world. It was
no different this year, as many veterans and winners of the Tybee 500,
Worrell 1000 and Great Texas were there battling it out. Two-time Olympic
Silver Medalist, Randy Smyth, showed up with his new radical-designed trimaran.

After many years off from the sailing community, one-time Tornado ace from
the 70's era returned to guess what? A Wave! After sailing in the North

Green Again Rolls to Capture Another Championship
Patrick Green of Put-in-Bay, Ohio again sailed a nearly flawless series
to capture the Hobie Wave Atlantic Coast Championships held at Nor'banks
Sailing at Duck, NC in the Outer Banks. Seas were fairly flat for the amount
of wind experienced. On the first day the winds were around 25 mph, but
with gusts as high as 37 mph. For more stories and pictures, click here!
Bryan and Christina Perrin Capture Shark Nationals
4th Time in a Row
A warm front rolled through the area on the last day of
sailing, bringing southerly winds of 15-20 mph winds with a few gusts to
24 mph. This was when the two teenage boys, Eric Perrin and Patrick Turbett,
got it all together, taking first in both races and moving them up into
second place overall in the standings.
Meanwhile Pattenaude/Couch broke their boom while jibing at the reaching mark
and had to limp back to port. That dropped them out of the money to 6th place
overall. Braddon and Bennett broke a centerboard on the way to the race course,
but held on just enough to still hold on to 3rd place overall. For more

Mike Fahle Ekes Out a Victory at the Wave North Coast
Championships
The wind was howling at 15-20 mph for most of the first
day of the regatta and the seas were steep and close together, making
for some tough sledding. Mike Fahle, who has only been a bride’s
maid at the Nationals, showed he is ready to make a comeback after
being out of t he class for a while. After 3 races on the first he
held a slight lead with finishes of 5-1-1 over past-National Champ,
Patrick Green, and past-North American and World Champ, Rick White,
each tied with 10 points.
Day two had winds a bit lighter, but still blowing around 15 mph, yet the seas
had subsided a bit. Fahle was struck with some bad luck. For more Story

TCDYC Takes all the Marbles in Great Texas
The morning started was kicked
off with an 8 AM Skippers Meeting and a 9 AM start to the second annual
Surfside to Galveston Dash. This
year there were 13 Dash Boats and 12 of the 13 left the beach first,
most with help from a GT300 sailor. The last boat to leave
the beach, Team Brian, returned briefly to the beach due to some
boat issues. After
readjustments were made, they quickly headed out through the surf. The
twelve GT300 boats were ready and waiting when the horn sounded at
10 AM, and all headed out through the surf with no problems. For

This
is turning out to be a GREAT race! This
morning the wind was blowing pretty good and the waves were curling into
the shore. All 12 boats lined up and at the sound of the horn,
headed off through the surf. A collision occurred between Team
Yost Auto and Team Chums, leaving Team Yost with a gash in their hull. They
headed back to the shore for a quick fix with Gorilla Tape. About
15 minutes later, after repairs were made, Team Yost headed back out

Team Sailboat
Shop Takes the Lead in Great Texas
This morning 12 teams left the beach
at Mustang Island, while Team Tybok Racing waited back to see how they
negotiated through the rough surf. After
seeing that all the teams had no problems getting out, Team Tybok headed
out for a sail. Team Royal Orange had some problems with the main
sail popping out, so they returned to the beach. After two attempts
at locking it in, they were on their way as well. For

It was extremely close racing at Indianapolis both on the race track
and on the waters of Eagle Reservoir. The top three sailors were nearly
in a tie by the end of the regatta. The troops were treated with passes

a Rules Seminar and dinner. What a great regatta hosted by Skip Kaub.

It
was an Awesomely Wild Finish for the Tybee 500
Boats were flying across the finish line one
right after the other, all heated up under spinnaker in winds over 15
mph, sliding up the beach just missing unknowing spectators. Chuck Bergeron
was yelling, "Get back, everyone. Get Back!" TCDYC has really
gotten it all together these final few legs, taking line honors only seconds
ahead of the Dutch Team Whike For More Stories and Pictures,

They
are Off Early on the Final Leg to Tybee Island
Race Officials called for an early start
today and so the teams set off through mild surf and 7-8 mph winds. Three
teams managed to struggle through the surf, but all got out in a reasonable
fashion. The Dutch team apparently is not used to getting up early. Their
boat was still sitting up by the brush and not even close to the beach
with 3 minutes to go before the start. Then with less than a minute to
go they were running the boat to their pole position. It didn't appear
that they were dressed yet, nor had any of their gear ready to go. But,
they shoved off right on time anyway. I guess you can be a bit Cavalier
after their performance yesterday -- starting in 24th position and winning
the line honors. For Stories and Pictures, Click

The
Start from Dayton was Horrid
It was ten minutes before the first boat could
manage to get through the surf, set the spinnaker and finally get going.
One by one, little by little, a boat here, a boat there. It is now 25
minutes after the official start and there are still 10 boats that have
not negotiated the surf and attained flat water. Three boats have returned
with broken parts -- mostly rudders. Having the
pole position seemed to pay off for Royal Green -- they and Jake's Seacats
Team were the first to get their kites up and running. Royal Yellow got
in the mix as well. . For more story, Click

They
Finally Arrive in Daytona
It was amazing.., using the tracking information it was apparent that
most of the fleet made pretty good time until they got to Ponce Inlet.
And then they all just died there.That was at 4PM. We easily expected
the fleet in by 5PM and at 6PM on the outside guess.No,
it was around 7PM when the first team drifted through the very choppy
surf. And it was Team Royal Green with Leondro Spina and Jamie Livingston
taking the line honors for the first time.Many-time
winner of this and the Worrell 1000, Kenny Pierce was ground crew for
the Royal Teams. He said, "I knew they had it in them. Leondro was
saying he just wanted to finish, but I told him that he was better than
that." Livingston, of course, if a very seasoned sailor of these
events and we all felt for sure he "knew the way." For more

They
are off to Daytona Beach -- 4th Leg of the Tybee 500
There was very little surf and very little wind.
Consequently there was absolute chaos as they simply could not break through
the waves. The surf would knock the fleet backward by two feet for every
foot they gained. Finally, they all made it and the boats headed out around
Cape Canaveral and the NASA Launch site. Had they fleet been here a few
days earlier, they would have had to trail around the Cape, as Security
would not let them within 125 miles of the area when they are about to
launch a shuttle. For more Story and pics, click

are Off to Cocoa -- 3rd Leg of the Tybee 500
Without mishap the fleet blasted through some mild surf and were off without
much ado. Seacats sat offshore working on something for several minutes
and then finally got underway.The fleet all started on port tack to get
through the small surf because the wind was blowing on shore from the
northeast. While Royal Yellow had the pole position, the Dutch Team, who
was about half way down the line, tacked first to startboard, ducked sterns
and got off to a nice lead. Yellow appeared to have blown the tack, but
got it going and were about 50 yards behind in second spot.For More Story

Light Air
Continues the Second Leg of Tybee 500
Again the wind is out of the SE 5-10 mph. As for our reporting on these
first two legs it appears we are AWOL. It was looking good to have the
Media Bus raring to go late last evening, but alas, that was not to be.
It may not be done until a week or so from now. So, it is now Plan B,
C, or D. Plan B entails using our Honda Odyssey and pulling our two boats
with it, but it needs to have a transmission cooler added before doing
so. Now, it appears the vehicle and I will be ready to roll at 11AM, hopefully

and Great Sailing at Pensacola Midwinters
Good breeze and 70 degree temps gave all 31 teams their

three races, and provided warm up races for the N20's and open fleet in

races were burned off quickly allowing for plenty of prep time for an

Ashby
is Perfect on the Fourth Day of
A-Cat Worlds and Races Canceled on Friday. Ashby Wins
In winds of around 10-12 mph, light chop and no kelp,
Glenn Ashby of Australia sailed two near-perfect races to take a 2-point
lead over USA’s Lars Guck in the 2007 A-Cat World Championships
in Islamorada, Florida in the Florida Keys.
In both races today Ashby managed to stretch out his lead. In the second
race he was challenged closely by Luc Du Bois of Sweden
For the first Ashby held the lead all the way around with Guck staying
close a first, but fading. Scotty Anderson of Australia was in the mix
of things. Pete Melvin of the USA had a bad first leg, but made it back
to the low teens in position around the last weather mark, but managed
to finish in 9th place thereby maintaining a solid 3rd place overall.

Pete Melvin of the USA has moved into a pretty solid 3rd place. Other
Americans are Matt Struble, Charlie Ogletree and Phil Kinder, who hold
