アメリカスカップ番外編

5月26日から6月26日まで、1か月の長丁場レースだったアメリカスカップもEmirates Team New Zealandの勝利、最後はあっけない終焉となった。懐かしのバーミューダもまさに「兵（強者）どもの夢の跡」か。世界最高峰のハイテクレース故に情報量不足が否めなかった？ACも、ITの普及のお蔭で随分と身近になったことだけは確かである。
ファン各位には夜遅くまでお疲れ様でした。

当blogのACシリーズも、最後に『アメリカスカップ番外編』をお届けし、幕引きとします。

2016-11-17 アメリカズカップワールドシリーズ福岡大会のため、遂にランドローバーBAR チームが来日。日本の伝統スポーツに敬意を表するためにチームが向かったのは九重部屋。西洋から始まったヨットレースと日本の伝統の相撲という一見異なるスポーツですが、精神性と様式美はどこか似たところを感じさせます。境内にて勝利への祈りを捧げ、力士たちとの交流を行ったチームの心の準備は万全です。日本の皆さま、応援よろしくお願いします。https://www.youtube.com/results?q=%23bringthecuphome

VIDEO: Chinese Gybes are never tasty

*Chinese gybe  From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A Chinese gybe on a sailing vessel is a type of gybe where the upper section of the main sail moves across the boat, filling from the opposite side, whilst the lower section and boom remain on the original side of the vessel. It contrasts with a normal gybe, where the whole sail moves across the boat as the boat turns its stern through the wind. A Chinese gybe is usually induced by too little tension on the vang or kicking strap, allowing the boom to rise up and the leech of the sail to twist excessively.
The term can be used in a different sense, in which a Chinese gybe is a gybe caused when a boat rolls excessively to windward (usually when running downwind), causing an unexpected and/or uncontrolled change in course (specifically bearing off dangerously). This sense of the term is similar to death roll.

Has The Optimist Evolved Too Far?

Has The Optimist Evolved Too Far?
Scuttlebutt Sailing News
Published on April 16th, 2017

（オプティミストはそこまで進化しているの?）
The Optimist has introduced more kids to sailing than other boat, and is the dominant international class for youth competition. While the primary goal during the youth years is to instill the love of sailing, the influence of racing can impact the priorities.

As builders are vying to supply the fastest boats, there apparently remains enough wiggle room to improve on this 70 year old design. However, when new models come out, parents might need to step up to keep their kids from getting stepped on. This reality just hit Carlo Cagna as he shares in this report:
---------------------------------
Being how the Optimist is a one design class, should this be allowed? Is this a favoring of some kind to bigger builders? We visited the website of the manufacturer <  http://www.winneroptimist.dk/optimist/3d-star > and it’s real as they are advertising these faster boats.

How can the Optimist class accept this? I am eager to hear from others about this situation.

GEST COMMENTARY:
I just downloaded the Optimist price list and coming to terms with the fact that a fully rigged boat, on launching trailer, delivered would cost me in the region of $5000, or the price of several second-hand Flying Fifteens. If I were a parent I would, of course, need to factor in the cost of a RIB and a 4 x 4 to tow everything, together with spare sails and gear. Oh, and the price doesn’t include a paddle or a bailer. Having spent so much the additional dollars would not, one imagines, be a problem.

O'pen BIC "Un-Regattas" in North America

Subject: New element to O'pen BIC "Un-Regattas" in North America
Sent: Thu, Mar 23, 2017 8:32 am

All-
I thought you would like to see brief video of new element introduced at our North American "Un-Regatta" in Sarasota, Florida this past weekend. 
The idea is to bring some element of X-Games to Youth Sailing. The kids LOVED it.
https://vimeo.com/209150095
The "Bridge of Doom" was tested in Sarasota and will next be used at the America's Cup.
Full event video coming next.
Happy sailing,
