Western Reserve Model Yacht Club event to draw sailors from several states, Canada

Sep. 1—The Western Reserve Model Yacht Club, based at SPIRE Institute in Geneva, will host sailors from several states and Canada for a one-day competition on Sept. 21.

The club will hold pairs "match races" from 9 to 11 a.m. followed by fleet racing from 9 to 3 p.m., according to a news release.

Boats used for both events will be Soling 1 Meter one-design RC sailboats, 40 inches long and weighing 10 pounds. They sail by wind alone — no motors or propellers — and races are won by skill and tactics, since all boats are essentially equal, the club noted.

Match racing is most well-known as the format used for the full-scale boats' 37th America's Cup series finals. The America's Cup is to be contested this fall, in Barcelona, Spain, after a traveling series of fleet races to select the two finalists.

"Normally, we race as "fleets," where as many as 16 boats race at the same time. Match racing is where just two boats race, over much shorter course." Mike Wyatt, sailing director of the club, stated in the release. "We will have likely have as many as 120 pairs — "matches" — in just two hour, each race is about 5 minutes long.

"The America's Cup is now held using foiling single-hull boats," he added. "Our model boats are model keelboats, sailed in ponds and lakes, by one skipper using a radio transmitter to control the boat."

The event concludes with a fleet racing regatta through the afternoon. The same competitors will race using a single start, and longer races, usually lasting around 10 minutes each. Fleet races use the entire 5-acre SPIRE pond, while match races use a far smaller area of around 250 square feet.

The Western Reserve Model Yacht Club races from May to October every Tuesday evening, as well as two Saturdays a month, also at SPIRE, 5201 SPIRE Circle in Geneva. Spectators are welcome at those or the Sept. 21 event.

For more information visit the club's website at www.wrmyc.org . Interested people can also call the club at 440-478-8208.

YACHT RACING

Racing rules & advice, learning programs, results previous year, yachting classes of boats.

Here's what we sail on Lake Wendouree  

Lake Wendouree is a shallow lake and therefore the classes of yachts sailed are restricted by the depth of the water. These classes are sailed at Ballaarat Yacht Club; Jubilee  •  Lasers  •  Lightweight Sharpie  • Opti  •  Pacers  •  Paper Tiger Catamaran  The club conducts competition with class line honours and both yardstick and individual handicapping to promote fair and even competition. 

The Laser can be sailed comfortably in all wind conditions for any sailor weighing as little as 35kg. The class was created as a strict one-design dinghy where the true test, when raced, is between sailors and not the boats and equipment.

THE LIGHTWEIGHT SHARPIE Australian Lightweight Sharpies are a national one- design class with a long history of evolution. The class is quite unusual in comparison to the majority of other dinghies, due to its distinctive shape, size and complement of crew (three: including skipper, main hand and forward hand on trapeze).

PAPER TIGER CATAMARAN

The Paper Tiger Catamaran is a 4.3m (14ft) single-handed racing catamaran that provides exciting and close racing. Designed in 1967 as a training catamaran Ron Given, the designer, did not anticipate the competitive ability of those sailors who were attracted to the class. the Paper Tiger has been turned into a smooth racing craft.

THE JUBILEE

The Jubilee is a stable, all-weather 18 foot day boat, locally designed and made for Port Phillip Bay. It’s a one-design class which can be crewed by 2-4 people.  The first one ever built in 1935, is still sailing and still competitive on the water!

The Pacer is a 3.8m one design sloop rigged family dinghy, complete with spinnaker. The Pacer is the ideal performance family yacht, for two crew. With a lightweight hull, capable of high planing speed, wide beam and not excessive amount of sail these boats can provide responsive and relatively  high performance.  It is safe and stable boat and one of the most attractive and affordable yachts on the water.

The Opti, designed for junior sailors, safe and simple enough for an 8-year old, exciting and technical enough for a 15-year old. The Opti is not only the biggest dinghy class in the world, it is the fastest growing. Over 150,000 kids in over 100 countries cannot be wrong. The BYC  Takcers fleet sail the Opti.
