This is Volume I- Issue 4

It is hot out. I know summer is here when Ihave to pack extra shirts in my gear bag . Myfirst mate, wait a minute….my skipper, Leslie,tells me that when I spend all day on the watertaking photos, I have to change shirts beforeattending the awards party. According to her, noone wants to grant an interview to the smelly,sweaty guy, even if he is from that hot newsailing rag. We have been crewing together fora long time now and I get much of the credit forthat, because I listen to her.

It is warmer out now but cracker sailors arelucky here on the east coast of Florida. It mightbe hot but it is seldom unbearable, what with theseabreeze and all, and its rare that a lack of windwill cancel or even postpone a race here. Theweather element that certainly will sendeveryone back to the dock in a hurry is thepatented Florida afternoon thunderstorm.Mother nature must have a VHF radio and spinone of these ominus looking, electric boltthrowing, wind blowing, water dumpingboomers up as a way of humoring herself. Iswear she is listening in on the race committeetrying to figure out what the hell to do about theweather. The new apps we all have on ourphones don’t help either……Mark Boat this isthe RC over…….RC this is the Mark Boat, goahead, over…..what does it look like over where

you are? over….well I am about 200 yards fromyou and it pretty much looks like the world iscoming to an end, over……yup I can see that toobut I was looking at the radar and we only havethat one really bad cell to the north there, and asmaller one behind it, there is something tryingto bubble up to the east and I think the one to thesouthwest will miss us for the most part, afterthat it looks like we will have at least a 30minute window, over……RC this is the MarkBoat, roger that, if we have a 30 minute window,let’s get this party started, over…..

I had a really good time covering theTitusville Sailing Club’s Annual Regatta. Therace is open to PHRF and any other class thathas enough boats and wants a start.Unfortunately the only start they had was for theCatalina 22 class. Eleven boats showed up forsome spirited racing over two days. They hadeverything you could ask for in a regatta, a lot ofwind, boats retiring for repairs and coming backto affect the outcome, boats that had never wonbefore, winning, and a dramatic last race victoryto capture the coveted Pritchard Cup. Boy ohboy, and all of that in a fleet where about $2000will get you on the race course in your own boat.

I was talking to Joe Waters at Waters Sails inSouth Carolina about the cost of campaigning aboat and why that is a big reason numbers are

down at regattas everywhere. He said, “Bob,you can pull the bulb off the Farr 40 and load iton the trailer, buy the entire crew a matching setof foul weather gear and fly them off to meet theboat and that is yacht racing. That’s not whatwe do. We race sailboats.” Cheers Joe!

Sail Fast! - Bob

SYC Summer SailingIn 2014 the Smyrna Yacht Club organized two Junior Sailing Schools

in cooperation with the New Smyrna Beach Parks and RecreationDepartment.

The start dates were Monday June 9th and Monday June 23rd.The details of this course are on the town web site.The course is organized and run by the SYC Sailors, which is the wing

of Smyrna Yacht Club that maintains the Precision 15 fleet. The Precisionsare available to any club member, who passes the Skipper Test and theSYC club organizes a Spring Race Series as well as interclub competitions.The club has never had a need to publicize this course. All the instructorsand safety boat operators are SYC volunteers.

A first was the inclusion of junior instructors, who have completed thecourse many times and have the advantage of being able to relate moredirectly to students of a similar age.

This year we have coached 26 students and also joined with NewSmyrna Beach Sea Scouts to assist in their sail training.

A great way for young sailors to sail regularly and continue to improveis via the New Smyrna Beach Sea Scouts. They meet at the Boat & SkiClub on the North Causeway in New Smyrna Beach from 6 – 8 pm everyWednesday. You can call Richard Sturge on 386 690 8998 or emailSHIP495@AOL.COM.

Ruffe Wins TSC Regatta & Pritchard CupBullet in last race gives Mercury Rising the win over Go Daddy O!

Better than expected windconditions made for some excitingracing at the Titusville SailingClub’s Annual Regatta held June7th & 8th in Titusville. Weatherforecasts called for 3-4 knot NWwinds clocking to the ESE by theafternoon. The shifts held truehowever by race time the breezehad built to a steady 8-10 knots onthe course south of the 406causeway. While the regatta was open toall who wanted to race, only thespirited Catalina fleet of 11 boatsmade it to the start line. The shocker of the first daywas when Randy Palowski’s GoldRush had to retire from the racecourse for boat repairs before the first starting signal. Gold Rush is alwaysa heavy favorite so with skipper and crew back at the dock repairing theboat’s bulkhead, it was anyone’s regatta. TSC Commodore Carl Jones, sailing the club owned boat, Discovery,took the bullet in the first race, walking away from the fleet in the freshbreeze. Unfortunately Discovery could not continue the magic roundingout the day with two 5th place finishes. Al Pivonka sailing Boat got off to a rough start finishing 7th in the firstrace but rebounded nicely to win the next race and finish 2nd in the thirdrace to stay in contention. At the end of the day it was Dave Ottavianni’s Go Daddy O however,who was sitting in first place. Ottaviani and crew turned in a better thansolid day sailing to 2nd and 4th place finishes before taking the gun in the

last race of the day for a sevenpoint total and the regatta lead. Lurking in the shadows wasBrad Ruffe’s Mercury Risingwith two 3rd place finishessandwiching a 2nd for an eightpoint total. Skipper and crewKirk Ketterer were nipping atOttavianni’s heels. The forecast for light windsheld true on Sunday as the RCwas only able to get one race offin the diminishing breeze. GoldRush was repaired and on theline winning the start and gettingoff to an early lead. Needing notonly to beat Go Daddy O butalso needing a win, Ruffe managed to catch Pawlowski at the finalwindward mark putting Gold Rush in between himself and Ottavianni whowas close behind in 3rd place. The boats would cross the finish line in thatorder giving Mercury Rising the low point score and regatta win, includingthe coveted Pritchard Cup. “After the race Randy told me that he did notknow how I caught up to him and I told him that I didn’t either,” said thehappy Mercury Rising skipper in a post-race interview. “It was a greatregatta and the class is a lot of fun,” he added. See “TSC Results” Page 6

Dave Ottavianni’s Go Daddy O sailed a superbregatta coming up just shy of winning it all.

The Flying Scot By Bob Seay

Designed in 1957 by Gordon "Sandy"Douglass, who also designed the Thistleand Highlander, the Flying Scot is anextremely popular 19-foot dinghy withmain, jib, and spinnaker. It has a low-displacement hull with a flat tapered shapein the stern which allows her to plane whenthe wind speed reaches 15 knots (meaningthe boat is not limited to her waterline hull-speed). With over 200 square feet of sailarea, she has the "engine" to move well inany wind speed. With nearly 6100 boatsbuilt and over 100 fleets racing acrossNorth America, the boat definitely hasstaying power. As a matter-of-fact, it wasthe first ever centerboard dinghy inductedinto the American Sailboat Hall of Fame, an honor it received in 1998.

The Flying Scot was the last of Douglass’ “big three” still populardesigns. The Thistle came first in 1945 and then the Highlander a fewyears later in 1951. The Flying Scot was the first of Douglass's boats togo into fiberglass production and has been built that way from thebeginning. The boat can be sailed alone or with a crew. For racing, acrew of two or three sailors is the norm. For day sailing, due to its largecockpit, the Flying Scot can carry as many as eight adults.

The Scot, as it is referred to by its sailors, is built by Flying Scot, Inc.,(formerly the Gordon Douglass Boat Company) located in the westernMaryland town of Deer Park and owned by the husband and wife team ofHarry and Karen Carpenter. Harry and Karen are avid Flying Scot sailorsand actually met at a regatta on Smith Mountain Lake near Roanoke, VA.Harry grew up sailing the Scot, mostly on Deep Creek Lake close by theboat’s factory. While in college he worked as an instructor at the

company’s sailing school and in 1978 hewas hired by then owner, Eric Ammann,on a full-time basis. In 1991 Harry andKaren had the opportunity to purchase thecompany. They have run it since, with thehelp of Office Manager Dee Burns and ateam of dedicated craftsman charged withbuilding the boats. With Harry’s nearlylife long association with the Scot andcompany that builds it, you would be hard pressed to find another boatbuilt by a more experienced and knowledgeable builder.

The Scot is known for its stability and ease of handling. Her slightlytunneled hull design, hard bilges and weighted centerboard provide astrong righting moment. With over 600 lbs. of reserve buoyancy, theFlying Scot is unsinkable. The wide side deck and seat allow the Scot totake a knock-down with little or no water in the boat, and one person caneasily right her in the water.

New Flying Scots start at around $20K for a boat built for racing(basic and radical racing packages are offered), less for one built for daysailing. Flying Scot, Inc. has a very good website explaining the orderingprocess and it is never hard to reach live person there for help.

A quick internet search turned up numerous used boats. A mid 80’srace boat in decent shape can be had for between $5K-$7K. We found asharp 2003 model that appeared ready to go for $12,500 while a 1970’sproject was for sale in the St. Augustine area for just $1500.

With large an active fleets in Jacksonville, Lake Eustis, Stuart,Melbourne, Sarasota, Miami, Charlotte and Tampa there is no shortage oflocal racing opportunities. The “Scot” may be just the ticket for someonewho wants to race and likes the lines of a classic and the performance of amodern sport boat. Thanks to Flying Scot, Inc., and the Flying Scot Sailing Association for providing information for this review.

Lake Eustis Sailing Club SailsticeSubmitted By Gus Chennells LESC

LESC put on a great sailing party this Sailstice! Besides perfectwind, there were 3 main events scheduled, with a break in between.First was the water battle with teams facing off by sailing directly ateach other from opposing marks, and rounding the marks 3 times. Thisgave 3 opportunities to douse the enemy with your water cannons,bombs, or any way you could. After returning to the docks, it seems thepounding continued on, with much fervor and excitement! Prizes wereawarded with me winning a nice T shirt for getting poured on the most!

After lunch weheaded out again foran individually timedrace on a course thatlooked to me like anapple, we started at thebottom of the core,sailed up thru the coreand out at the stem,turned right and sailedall the way around theapple, back to the stem and down thru the the core to finish. With thestrong wind it only took about 20 minutes. Back at the dock everyonethought it was way too much fun to only do once!

Back on shore we had a nice surprise with a live steel drum duetplaying sing-along Jimmy Buffet! What a hoot! The final event was a sunset raft-up on Monte's floating Tiki Bar untilit was dark; thanks to Ray for the Pina Coladas! It was crazy fun!!

Thanks to all 62 entries and to Sherry Magno coordinator, DeanGrimes worthy assistant, Ray Lagona course designer, Pirate Dave andDennis safety (and they were busy!) Dave Moring master ofceremonies, Monte cook and Tiki Bar, and Randy for providing Petuniapowerboat and general hooliganism!! Just wait till next year Randy!Sailors enjoyed a wide range of water activities at the LESC

Sailstice.

LESC Sailstice party-goers were treated to a steeldrum duo.

Hobie Fleet 80 Gaulden Reed Summer SizzlerPoints Regatta By Peter Haley

June brings the sizzle of thesummer as well as the annualGaulden Reed Summer SizzlerHobie Points regatta. The event isnamed after Gaulden Reed, DaytonaBeach’s legendary sailor, surfer andbusinessman. Gaulden once ownedAloha Marine, where Hobart“Hobie” Alter drove in with his newradical catamaran design the Hobie14, on the roof of his station wagon.Gaulden was the first Hobie dealerin the southeastern United States. Hobie Fleet 80, on the web atfleet80.com, hosts the catamaran

race each June. This year, there were approximately 30 boats from all overthe state of Florida. Racers spent Friday evening and Saturday morningrigging their crafts on the beach in front of Perry’s Ocean Edge Resort. The weather teased us with a beautiful morning; however, theinstability in the weather haunted the race committee. Thunderstorms keptpopping up in the wrong place. Even with two attempts to start racing,organizers were unable to get a race started. Thanks to S.R. Perrott, therewere loads of tasty beverages with which to sit back and enjoy thelightning show. On Sunday, the weather was more forgiving. Sailors were able to getfour races in, with wind speeds just under 10 knots. The sailors and visitorsto the beach were able to enjoy the colorful sails dancing along theocean all day.

Even though it looks like a glassy lake this photo was taken on the ocean asRichard Uschold & Amy Trainer were sailing their Prindle 18, SS Minnow backto the beach while storms rolled through the race area on Saturday. Wethought this was a cool shot.

Spotlight On The Lake Fairview MarinaA Sailing Haven in the Middle of Orlando

The Orlando area is home to a lot of entertainment venues and it goeswithout saying that a few are world famous. You can find Mickey &Donald there along with Shamu and even Harry Potter. But what’s a sailorto do when he wants to “haul the sheet in and ride on the wind” inOrlando?

Surprisingly enough, even with the numerous lakes in the Orlandometro area, there are not many places that cater to sailors. Of course youhave the popular sailing spots atLake Eustis and Lake Dora to thenorth, and Lake Monroe to theeast, but in town your best bet tofind a place to sail sits on theshores of Lake Fairview, just offof Orange Blossom Trail and LeeRoad. The Lake Fairview Marinais the place to head when you wantto go sailing in the “CityBeautiful.”

Brother and sister, Jay &Cynthia Johnson, purchased themarina in 2002. Cynthia and Jaywere both raised in the Orlando area. Their father, Charles Johnson, skiedfor "Cypress-Gardens" and instilled a passion in both of them for all waterrelated activities. These days Cynthia handles the day to day operations ofthe marina which includes new and used boat sales, consignment boatsales, boat rentals, sailing lessons, a full service department, slip rentals anddry storage. Cynthia is a sailor and you can hear the tone in her voicechange when she starts talking boats.

The marina is an authorized Hunter, Compac, Precision and LaserPerformance new boat dealer. They have many of these boats on display inthe yard. “Sailboats are about 70% of our boat sales business,” saidCynthia describing the boat dealer side of the operation. “Due to theeconomy we really saw a drop in new boat sales after 2008 but it is startingto show signs of improvement,” she added. The marina also has a goodselection of used boats for sale plus boats taken in on consignment. (Foranyone looking to join the expanding San Juan 21 fleet racing out of theLake Monroe Sailing Association, there is a race ready boat sitting in theyard at the marina for a good price.)

While it is a big part of the business, boat sales are not all that the LakeFairview Marina offers. They have a full service department that provides

boat repair and maintenance for both power and sailboats. They even offerfull restoration services, which was evident when we visted as technicianswere finishing up abeautifully restored CapeDory. Sailboat servicesinclude engine repair,rigging, brightwork, canvasand sails, fiberglass repairand painting. For trailersailors full trailermaintenance and repairservices are available aswell as parts for the do-it-yourselfer.

For residents of theOrlando area who don’t owna boat, and also visitors whoneed a break from the theme parks, the marina has a large fleet of rentalsail, power and pontoon boats. Kayaks and paddle boards are alsoavailable. For those who have not sailed before but want to learn, classesare offered as are private lessons. All instruction is conducted aboardstable Compac 16’s & 23’s. Lake Fairview Marina also has dry storagefor boats at reasonable rates. A public ramp is located right next doorenabling sailors to leave their masts stepped while stored. Fourteen wetslips are available in the small and well protected harbor. The Johnsons are involved in perpetuating the growth of sailing in thearea and volunteer marina resources to support such activities as theCentral Florida Yacht Club’s Clemen’s Cup , Beach Ball race and AnnualChristmas Boat Parade and the Orlando Sailing Club’s learn to sailprograms on LakeBaldwin. They alsosponsor four “OpenSail” days annuallyoffering up themarina’s boats for freesails and servinghotdogs and drinks inthe very cool tiki hutlocated adajacent to theharbor. If you are inOrlando and have theurge to go sailing,check out the LakeFairview Marina. Justshow up, you don’t needto bring anything. The friendly and knowledgeable staff will set you upwith what you need to take a break from city life and get out on the water.

The brother & sister team of Jay &Cynthia Johnson have owned and runthe Lake Fairview Marina since 2002.

Don’t Let July 4th Be YourUndoingBoatUS: Nation’s Birthday RequiresSpecial Caution

A long day on the water exposed tothe elements combined with crowdedwaterways and alcohol consumptioncould be a recreational boater’s ultimateundoing this July 4th holiday weekend.“It’s mayhem,” said BoatUSFoundation President Chris Edmonston,“So pull out all the stops and makesafety priority #1 to ensure you have awonderful time on the water.” BoatUS suggests these tips to enjoyAmerica’s birthday on on a boat:

Every boat owner becomes popular on July 4th because they’ve “gotboat”. Whoa, that doesn’t mean everyone can safely come aboard.Overloading combined with intense wake action always spells trouble onrecreational boating’s most highly-trafficked holiday. Keep to your boat’scapacity limit, ensure everyone has a seat inside the boat, and have a lifejacket for everyone aboard. Wearing life jackets, especially after thefireworks end when the risk of a nighttime collision is the greatest, is a wisemove.

Get all of the lights working: In the dark, the only way to determine aboat’s direction is by seeing its navigation lights. Fix any broken lightsbefore you go – and ensure they are visible from 360 degrees. You may besurprised to learn that just because the light switch is turned on, it doesn’tmean your nav lights can be seen from every quarter.

Paddlers, resist the urge: Stand up paddleboards, kayaks and canoes aregreat – but not in the middle of a nighttime fireworks display. Wearing aheadlamp or hanging glowsticks around your neck isn’t enough to be seenand may confuse other boaters. If you do insist on going out, stay very closeto shore and away from any boating traffic, have USCG-approved navlights, and keep clear of any channels, marinas or launch ramp areas.Assume that no one can see you. Patience is a virtue: Wait a little bit after the fireworks show ends forboating traffic to thin out before you haul anchor. It’s also better to passother boats astern to avoid anchor line entanglements – one of the topreasons why boaters will call for on water assistance from the TowBoatUSor Vessel Assist fleets. BoatUS reports their 24-hour dispatch call centerswitchboards (800-391-4869) light up like a Christmas tree after thefireworks shows end.

Check your dock: Before you invite everyone down to the lake house,ensure that any dock with electric service or a boat tied up to it isn’t leakingany stray current into the water. Minute amounts of alternating current infresh water can be hazardous to swimmers and lead to Electric ShockDrowning. An easy way to check your dock is with a circuit tester and aclamp meter. If in doubt, just shut off all electricity to the dock, relax, andenjoy the fireworks.

Boat Sober: While it’s embarrassing to be arrested for boating whileintoxicated, it also means the boat driver has forgotten his or herresponsibility to keep everyone aboard safe. Wait until after you’ve tied upfor the night before drinking, or one of the hundreds of law enforcementofficers assigned to increased patrols may have to remind you in a veryunpleasant, humiliating and costly way. Drunk driving on the water can costyou your car driver’s license, too.About BoatUS:

Boat Owners Association of The United States (BoatUS) is the nation’s leading advocate for recreational boatersproviding its over half-million members with government representation, services such as 24-hour dispatch, on waterboat towing as well as roadside assistance for boat trailers and tow vehicles, feature-packed boat insurance programs,money-saving benefits including marina and service discounts, and vital information that improves recreational boating.Its member-funded BoatUS Foundation is a national leader promoting safe, clean and responsible boating and offersrange of boating safety courses – including 33 free state courses – that can be found at BoatUS.org/courses.

Why Boats Sink10 Prevention Tips from BoatUS

When a boat sinks, that’s likely the end of her. That’s becauserepairs on a sunken boat often cost more than the actual value of theboat. So if boaters want to prevent a sinking at all costs, what can theydo? Boat Owners Association of The United States (BoatUS) recentlytook its first significant look since 2006 at its boat insurance claimsfiles to identify the causes of boat sinkings and found that most werepreventable. About two out of every three (69%) boats sink at the dockor mooring, while the remainder (31%) sink while underway.

Of all of the dock/mooring sinkings, 39% occur when some smallpart gives up the fight with water due to wear, tear and corrosion. Whenit comes to gradual leaks due to slowly failing parts, too many boatsexisted in a “zombie state” somewhere between floating and sinking,dependent upon the bilge pump, which merely postponed the sinkinguntil the pump failed or was overwhelmed. This one is a no-brainer:lack of maintenance is the factor here.

For boat sinkings while underway, the most common cause (43%)is hitting something – a log, the bottom or colliding with another boator dock. Some of these sinkings might have been avoided if some someextra care had been taken – and some can be chalked up to simply badluck.

Interestingly, low-cut transoms that were common on boats in the1990’s and a cause of sinkings is no longer much of a factor, ascontained splash wells separating the interior of the boat from thetransom are more common in boat designs today. However, beingswamped while tied stern-to waves remains a cause.

To prevent a sinking, here are ten tips from the boat owner’s group:● For inboard-outboard powered boats, inspect sterndrive bellows

annually and replace every three to five years. The shift bellows isusually the first to fail.

● For inboard powered boats, check the stuffing box every time youvisit the boat, and repack – rather than simply tighten down the nut– every spring.

● For engines with raw water hoses, replace them the moment theyindicate wear – such as when small cracks appear or they feel“spongy” when squeezed. Rusty hose clamps are also a concern andshould be replaced.

● Replace the engine cooling system impeller every two to threeyears.

● Inspect the boat’s cockpit and livewell plumbing – again look athoses, clamps, and cracked or broken fittings. Make sure you caninspect all such plumbing, and if you can’t, install inspection portsto make the task easier.

● Each season take are hard look at all below-waterline fittings,hoses, and clamps.

● Don’t forget the drain plug – you knew this one would be on thelist.

● Keep a good lookout and ask guests to help keep their eyes peeledfor deadheads. If you’ve grounded or hit something, consider ashort-haul to inspect the bottom or drive gear.

● Always pull trailerable boatsfrom the water when storms areforecast. These boats generallyhave too little freeboard tostand up to any kind of waveaction.

● Dock line management systemsthat keep the boat centered inits slip can prevent snags thatsometimes lead to a sinking.

No Need To Be Intimidated By RaceCommittee Duty by Admiral Mudgeon

Dear Admiral ‘Mudgeon’I have Race Committee Duty coming up, and I have not done it before.

Can you give me an idea of what to expect, what to do, and where to getthe info that I need?Sincerely,Drawn out of a Hat

Dear Drawn,What to expect? Well… There will be the compliments that you hear.“Good job!”, “Thanks to the Race Committee for a great job”. Questionsthat you hear at the competitor’s meeting; “What is the order of starts?”,“What is the class flag?”, “Do we have to start with the big boats?”,“Can’t you make the legs longer?”, “Can’t you make the legs shorter?”.Questions and comments on the water; “What does that flag mean?”,“What time is it?”, “ That line is awfully long.”, “That line is awfullyshort”, “Do we have to start with the big boats?”. There are comments thatthey think you won’t hear; “There is plenty of wind why don’t they startthe damn race?”, “You would think they could set a damn anchor”, “Arethey really gonna make us wait on that guy?”. “ They couldn’t set a squareline if (insert the reference of your choice here)”.

Most likely the line will be too short or too long, the course will be tooshort or too long, the start line will only be square between races, therewill only be a little wind in between races, no wind or a tornado andthunderstorms during the races, and the conditions will be perfect as soonas you get off the water. By the way, if you start the Compact 16 in withthe Farr 40’s you will probably get a lot of grief about not enforcing theTLE, as well you should.

What to do? Read the rule book, it has nearly everything that you needto know. It may protect you from the sea lawyers that are sailing. I havefound that the number of sea lawyers in a race is equal to the square root ofthe number of competitors, unless there is a problem then you may cubethat number. Many of the experienced racers have a pretty good handle onthe rules and all of them think they do, so you might want to brush up. Ifnothing else at least try to make sure that your copy of the rules is the onecurrently in effect.

There is a fair amount of information on-line about being racecommittee. The Lake Monroe Sailing Association has a power-pointpresentation on their web site. See flalmsa.org, About Us, RCPresentation. Or you may be able to get there with this

http://www.flalmsa.org/?page_id=1174. It is a little out of date but it has afair tongue in cheek review of the basics.

There are few better ways to observe and learn about sailboat racingthan working a committee boat so keep your eyes open and pay attention.There is a level of seriousness that must not be overlooked, racing can bedangerous in any form so proper protocol is important. Boat safety isultimately the responsibility of the skipper, but as the race officer you havesignificant responsibility also. So read the rules, pay attention, have somefun, and encourage the big boats to stay off of the little boats.

Contact Admiral Mudgeon at admmudgeon@waypointnews.com.

RC duty can be a lot of work but also a great learning experience & fun too.

NAUTICAL TERMS:Chart - a type of map which tells you exactly where you areaground.Displacement - when you dock your boat and can't find itafter the post-race party.

SYC Summer Solstice RegattaSpectators Get A Great Show In New Smyrna Beach Great venue, great weather, great racing and great party. That prettymuch sums up the Smyrna Yacht Club’s Summer Solstice Regatta heldJune 22nd in New Smyrna Beach.

“It was a beautiful day out on the ocean for the sailors participating inthe 3rd Annual Solstice Regatta.  Participating boats came from NewSmyrna Beach, Daytona Beach, Melbourne and St. Augustine. Thousandsof beach-goers enjoyed the colorful sight of sails against the blue skies ofNew Smyrna Beach during the day competitors and spectators agreed wasperfect for the race,” reported SYC’s Mary Jane Kollassa.

Twelve boats were on the line for Saturday’s “round the buoy” racing.The RC managed to get three races in under optimal conditions. NormChurch and the crew of Obsession jumped out to a quick lead winning thefirst two races in Division 1. Patrick Fisher-Carne drove PerpetualMotion to a win over Obsession in the last race but it was too little too lateas Obsession held on to win the division by one point.

Phil Cornett skippered his Pearson 31-1, Sail Away, to a win inDivision 2 with Incommunicado sailed by Dave Brangaccio finishing insecond place.

Kotchka, skippered by John Meehan, came out on top in a close battlein the Cruising Division.

Dean is a lifelong resident of East Central Florida and has worked as awriter, environmental professional and Wildland Firefighter. He also serves asRegional Temperature and Precipitation Weather Observer (RTP Co-Op) andStorm Spotter, National Weather Service, Melbourne FL, Weather Observer,Community Collaborative Rain Hail and Snow Network (CoCoRaHS), USA.Dean is a fellow sailor and also enjoys surfing and Florida history as well. Heis a graduate of FSU with a degree in Environmental Science.

This month’s column takes a look at a topic pertinent to sailing inFlorida, recognized as the “Lightning Capital of the North America” (nolonger the World). NASA released a study based on information from theTropical Rainfall Measurement Mission Satellite that showed Rwanda,Africa is the true lightning capital of the world. It receives nearly 2.5 timesas many lightning strikes as Florida.

From a sailor’s point of view, thunderstorms should be avoided. Giventhe frequency of thunderstorms (80-100 thunderstorm days/year),combined with the rapid propagation of individual storm cells in relation asailboat’s speed (up to 5 times as fast), close proximity lightning strikesare inevitable, and a direct hit is not as uncommon as one may think. InFlorida, Sea Grant document SGEB-17 suggests ground flash lightning canbe expected to hit from 4-20% of moored sailboats per year on inlandwaterways and lakes in the “Sunshine State”. Offshore cruising sailboatstypically get hit at least once in their lifetimes. Lightning does strike twice-a cruiser in the Indian Ocean was struck twice in 10 seconds, and therecord for total number of lifetime strikes to a single boat is five (inSarasota, Florida).

A well-grounded sailboat is as likely to suffer a strike as a poorly orungrounded sailboat. However, boats that have no protection system suffersignificantly more damage. A grounding system diverts the lightningcurrent through the path of least resistance, providing a continuousconducting path from the water to the mast tip to channel the energyreleased in a strike so it does not make its own explosive path throughfiberglass, teak, and crew members. When lightning strikes the mast of anungrounded sailboat, it charges all of the rigging without having aconducting path to channel the charge to the water. Destructive sparksoccur between the lower parts of the rigging (mast base, chain plates, andthe water. The amount of heat generated by lightning traveling through apoor conductor such as fiberglass turns the impeding material into a nicelyconducting plasma that is hotter than the sun’s surface! Of note, thesaltiness of the water the boat is in is also important, and damage is muchmore extensive for boats struck by lightning in fresh water than in saltwater because fresh water is less conductive.

The components of a sailboat’s grounding system are: 1) an airterminal at the mast tip; 2) down conductors, and; 3) grounding conductorsimmersed underwater.an.

July AveragesMean high/low temperatures: 89-92 / 71-74Average rainfall: 5-6”Average wind speed/direction: Southwest 7-9 mph

Notable Weather EventsOn July 3, 1992, a 27-mile-long rouge wave rolled onto the beach in

Volusia County at around 11 pm. The wave's extent was from OrmondBeach on the north, to New Smyrna Beach on the south. The crest was 18feet high and centered near the Daytona Beach pier. Sailboats crashed

ashore onto cars and many people suffered cuts and bruises from glass anddebris. Two people required hospitalization and 200 vehicles weredamaged (nighttime beach driving was allowed back then), and a total of75 injuries reported.

On July 4, 1970, lightning struck a rookie Volusia County lifeguard inOrmond Beach, and he died July 10.

On July 4, 1996, I personally witnessed a 32 year old man struck bylightning and immediately killed while watching fireworks on the MaxBrewer Bridge causeway in Titusville.

Meteorological Musings and Quote of the MonthAccurate weather forecasts and timely updates via the web, phone apps orweather radio will alert sailors to the likelihood, proximity and movementof thunderstorms. Constant sky observations while under way can readilyidentify towering cumulonimbus clouds building over Florida that mayeventually produce lightning. Counting the seconds between the flash andthunder (5 seconds = one mile) is a long-time and reliable way todetermine how far away lightning is as well as if it is approaching.Another way to detect lightning in the area is a cheap AM radio, whichwill crackle with static when thunderstorms are as far as 50 miles away.

“The trouble ain't that there is too many fools, but that the lightning ain'tdistributed right.” Mark Twain
