Canoe sailing Sailing the International 10 Square Metre Canoe is the most exciting challenge in single-handed dinghy sailing, and it is also one of the oldest forms of the sport. The modern International Canoe, known affectionately as the IC, is a highly developed racing dinghy and among the fastest single-handed monohulls. One of the early canoe sailors was Warrington Baden-Powell, brother of the founder of the Boy Scout movement, and many other famous persons have been associated with canoe sailing, including Uffa Fox, a name synonymous with the development of the sailing dinghy. www.bcu.org.uk /disciplines/canoesailing.html   (672 words)

About the Cal Sailing Club CSC sailboat fleet as of November 1996 consists of eight 14-foot Lido's (used for basic instruction, racing, and recreational sailing); two Rhodes 19's (larger, drier, and greater capacity than the Lido); four Lasers and two Bytes (high performance single-handed dinghies); and one 470 and one JY-15 (very high performance dinghies). Sailing in these conditions requires considerable skill and experience, and as a result the tests which must be passed to achieve various qualification ratings in CSC are quite rigorous compared with those of most other sailing programs. Skipper rating is obtained by passing three tests: a written test covering terminology, basic sailing skills, and CSC rules (all covered in the CSC handbooks); a rigging test demonstrating ability to properly rig and launch a CSC boat; and a practical sailing test demonstrating skill and ability in boat handling. www.cal-sailing.org /aboutcsc   (2382 words)

NAUTICALweb - Record breaking in 1998 Records are much more organised in the sailing world and whilst there are different records for monohulls and multihulls and for single- handed and fully manned yachts, there are few size limitations. Just to prove that record breaking is not easy the first of the scheduled power attempts to be fastest around the world ended in near disaster, whilst the second was a political disaster, and the third has been delayed for nearly a year. For the Atlantic record, the UIM has specified that the record distance is from New York to the Lizard lighthouse off the south coast of England, not the Bishop Rock lighthouse which has been used for all the previous records. www.nautica.it /boatshow/records.htm   (310 words)

National Schools Sailing Association Regatta 2003 Weymouth and Portland Sailing Academy The Single-handed Trophy was sailed in Toppers, and Teams were allowed to enter a limited number of boats, proportionate to their overall entry size. For the practice sailing on Sunday, and the first five scheduled races sailed over Monday and Tuesday, the conditions were as near perfect as possible, with beautiful clear sunshine, sparkling sea and a south-westerly force 3/4, although a few competitors struggled at the top end of this wind scale. All the boats used were owned by the various sailing centres entering them, giving the competitors the opportunity to participate in and live the atmosphere of a Championship which they probably would not have been able to experience otherwise. www.nssa.org.uk /articles/2003/regreport.htm   (1871 words)
