Yes it's true.  The ISAF voted to only have monohulls in the 2012 Olympics (including windsurfers).  Go to  http://www.sail-world.com/index.cfm?SEID=2&Nid=38992&SRCID=0&ntid=0&tickeruid=0&tickerCID=0 for more info and to sign a petition.

Just a few shots from the last get together. What say we all make an effort to be at Orient III? It would be nice to get some more folks out there. - Posted GPJ 8-11-07

 

This year we hit a record for our participation in this event. There were 10 boats, and 30 LICSA volunteers. It also helped that we had the most cooperative winds in years.  This turned out to be a great tribute to Milt Dinhofer, who after 23 years is handing the coordination of the event over to Elliot Yablon. Great job Milt !!

aside our jobs and take the children out.

Somebody want to write an article about their experiences in this race?  I'd love to hear other people's observations, ferry crossings, idiot power boat stories, etc!

Winergy Power of Hauppauge has petitioned the US Army Corps of Engineers for permits to build either three 3.6-MW or two 5-MW combination mono-tower and jack-up tower station wind farm about 1500 feet off of Plum Island’s east side. The towers are 312 feet high, the rotor blade radius 207 feet. The towers would be spaced approximately 3100 feet apart covering approximately 200 acres.

I don’t know how you feel about wind farms, but I like ‘em and that seems like as good a place as any to put them. All the greenies seem to support wind farms, except when they’re located in their backyards (NIMBY), but you can’t have your cake and eat it too.

Regardless, you have until July 12 to make your feelings known. Address your letters to the following and you must note the Public Notice Number.

The complete proposal can be found HERE in PDF format.

The latest issue of Ocean Racing Magazine is out. As usual, some great images and it’s in the NXTbook format which — if you haven’t seen it — is very neat. Among other things, it offers peeks at two small multihulls coming down the pike: the Explorer 23 and the Multi 660. The latter is a 6.6-meter version (21 foot, six inch) of a 60-foot tri.

Thanks to the hard work of Greg Gove, we now have permission to use Orient Beach State Park for cat sailing!  We will post schedules of events shortly.  - Steve

 

Happened to pick someone up at the ferry on April 21 and the Orient Beach State Park was closed "due to storm damage."
 

Rich Crucet informed me that Hecksher Field 7 (our sailing beach) sustained considerable damage from the April 15th storm. It would be great if someone could go there, look at the site,  and visit with Joe Montori, the park manager. We need to find out what the plans are.  If the beach is scheduled to be closed, we should make sure that we begin the push for access to another beach in the park. - Malcolm

 

A format has been inserted in all the destinations. Anyone with knowledge of Greenport Harbor, Southold YC, Noyak Bay and Cedar Beach are welcome to complete the listings. I put some info in the Cedar Beach and Southold YC listings but all need completion. GPJ

On February 25th, Ray Krogman passed away in his home in Mattituck.  Ray was a catamaran sailor, boat builder and one of the greatest sailors I have ever met.  He currently holds the record time around Robin's Island on his Stiletto 30 "Whisper".  I believe it is 38 minutes, but not sure.  I had meant to ask him, but never got the chance.  He will be missed. 

The annual Race Around Shelter Island for 2007 will be held on Sunday, July 8th at the Southold Yacht Club! Thank you Ken Richter (again!)
