PRINTER-FRIENDLY FORMAT SAILING: Israel relishes its first gold Windsurfer sends waves of patriotism through his country August 26, 2004 BY MICHELLE KAUFMAN KNIGHT RIDDER OLYMPIC BUREAU ATHENS, Greece Windsurfer Gal Fridman swears he felt all of Israel and the 11 slain Israelis from the 1972 Munich Olympics pumping his board for him on a brilliantly sunny Wednesday. "As if I was somewhere else, and the board was moving by itself in the final meters." After he crossed the finish line and realized he had just won Israel's first gold medal ever in any sport, he wrapped himself in the Israeli flag and plunged into the water, his tears mixing with the salt water of the Saronic Gulf. More tears would come six hours later, during the waterfront medal ceremony, when several hundred Israelis packed a waterside arena and belted out "HaTikvah" (The Hope) as their flag rose to the top of the middle flagpole. Fridman, whose first name means "wave" in Hebrew, was mobbed by fans afterward and security guards had to escort him to safety. "I didn't expect to see so many Israeli people, it was amazing," said Fridman, 28, who won a bronze medal in Atlanta. "I feel inside the happiness of my country. I sang the anthem as loud as I could, but nobody could hear me because everyone was screaming."

Victorious, they deeded their trophy to the NYYC. It became known as the America 's Cup, giving its name to the oldest and most prestigious event in international sailboat racing. The United States won every America 's Cup (the event is irregularly held) between 1851 and 1983, when it was won by Australia. In the 1980s and 90s radical changes in boat design and charges of espionage and even sabotage roiled Cup competition. The United States regained the Cup in 1987, then lost it to New Zealand in 1995. New Zealand successfully defended in 2000 but lost to Switzerland in 2003. Since 1992, a new class of longer, lighter boats carrying more sail on a higher mast have been used in America 's Cup races. Ocean racing, an arduous and dangerous sport, especially in long-distance solo events, has gained increased notice. Major ocean racing events include the Newport-Bermuda Race, the Transpacific Race, and the Volvo Ocean Race (formerly the Whitbread Round the World Race). Francis Chichester circumnavigated the globe alone in 1967, making only one stop; a year later nonstop around-the-world solo sailing was initiated in a race called the Golden Globe. Today's ocean racers sail advanced multihulled yachts and are aided by such modern technology as sophisticated communication devices and satellite-generated weather reports. Sailboat racing has also been part of the Olympic Games since 1900; at present Olympic sailors compete in nine classes ranging from sailboards 12 ft 1 in. (3.7 m) in length to 26-ft 9-in (8.2-m) sloops. Sailing, traditionally a sport of the wealthy, has been opened to wider participation by modern methods of boatbuilding.

Modern Olympic History 19th-Century Revival Olympics by Year Famous Olympians Related Links Swimmer Aaron Piersol (US) with His Gold Medal The modern Olympic Games belong to our era. The way they are organized, their ceremonies and symbolism reflect modern reality, not ancient tradition. The Games are not only about the athletes. The Games are not just a question of records and numbers. Hidden behind the statistics, the medals, the records are important ideas, experiences, questions about participation and exclusion, rivalry and competition, victory and defeat, commitment and exertion, the athletic ideal and commercialization. The Games concern everyone participating in them, in whatever way. They have to do with individuals and social groups, cities and countries. They speak of symbols, heroes and myths. The 19th-Century Olympic Movement Baron Pierre de Coubertin, the man who inspired the revival of the Olympic Games Baron Pierre de Coubertin, a Frenchman, is justly given credit for establishing the modern Olympics, but it was England that revived the idea, and it was in England that Coubertin was introduced to it. As early as 1612, Robert Dover established an English version of the Olympic Games in the Cotswold Hills in Gloucestershire. Events included card games, chess, and dancing, as well as running, jumping, the hammer throw, pitching the bar, wrestling, and horse racing.

Log In Victoria Home Maps What's New ... FAQ's History of Sailing in Victoria The sport of sailing in Victoria dates back to 1859; the first recorded sailing competition was held in Esquimalt by the Royal Navy, but failed due to lack of wind. Steamboat racing was also popular around this time. An interest in sailing was renewed in 1888, when eleven Victoria sailors decided that a sailing race should be part of the city’s celebration of Queen Victoria's birthday on May 24th. The race became the highlight of the annual celebration and it was not long before sailors from American ports on Puget Sound began to compete in the race, making the event international. The race was so popular that a decision was made to form a local yacht club to extend the racing season beyond one day. During the 1920's, fleets of International 14's and Stars regularly competed. Since 1930, Victoria has been host to the Swiftsure International Yacht Race. Beginning with an entry of only four boats, Swiftsure has become the largest annual offshore yacht racing event held in the Pacific Northwest, with a competitive fleet of 450 first-rate offshore racing yachts. Also, during the prohibition in the 1920’s and early 1930’s, the waters between Vancouver Island and southwestern BC were very active when mother ships would off-load cargo worth millions of dollars to high-speed yachts known as rum-runners. During the two World Wars local sailors and members of the Royal Victoria Yacht Club, many of whom were former naval officers, offered lectures on seamanship and navigation and organized a flotilla of pleasure boats which patrolled the coastal waters off Victoria on the prowl for enemy submarines. Six Meters, Dragons, Lightnings and Snipes were in vogue and popular for racing during the years following the Second World War.

Schoeman went into the semi-finals of the freestyle sprint having recorded the fastest time in the semi-finals of 21.99. In the final, however, he didn't enjoy the advantage he usually gets from the start, as Jason Lezak very nearly matched him. Ultimately, though, it was defending champion Gary Hall junior and Duje Draganja who got the better of the South African ace. The American clocked 21.93 to steal gold ahead of Draganja, who recorded 21.94. Schoeman finished in 22.02. The third place finish means Schoeman collected a medal of each colour at Athens 2004 - he also took gold in the 4x100 freestyle relay and silver for the 100 metres freestyle.

HOME NEWS PRESS VENUE ... LINKS In August of each year, sailors of all ages come from countries around the world to participate in one of international yacht racing's premier events: CORK- the Canadian Olympic-training Regatta, Kingston. CORK is a special opportunity for participants, organizers and sponsors to enjoy all that is best about the sport of sailing. CORK was started over a quarter century ago by a group of Canadian Olympic sailors who recognized that the City of Kingston, Canada, had ideal sailing conditions and a central North American location. It was (and is) the perfect venue for an annual world class sailing event. The first CORK regatta was a small multi-class sailing event held on the waters off Kingston in August of 1969. Today CORK has grown into a two-week long event, hosting over 20 classes and drawing more that 1,000 sailboats, more than 2,000 competitors and coaches from many countries as well as over 10,000 tourists and site-seers. The CORK venue spans the City of Kingston from its headquarters at Portsmouth Olympic Harbour (the site of the 1976 Olympic Sailing events) . CORK's Racing takes place on six courses which extend from the St. Lawrence River well out into Lake Ontario and cover a geographic area of over twenty square miles. Year after year, CORK continues to bring together sailors, volunteers, tourists, 'Friends of CORK', sponsors' representatives and the media - for two exciting weeks in the latter part of August.

2004 Olympic Sailing Home Newsletter Well the 2004 Olympic Games have come and gone and now it's time to sit back and see how the US faired against other nations on the water in Athens. With the US getting two medals out of a possible 11 different classes, people are starting to wonder if the US needs to change the way our sailors train. The US is one of three country teams with entrants in each boat type. 2004 Olympic Sailing by Oakley Jones III Here is how the US Sailing Team did in Athens: Class Skipper/Crew Place Medal 470 men Foerster/Burnham 1 of 27 Gold Medal Tornado Lovell/Ogletree 2 of 17 Silver Medal Europe Meg Gaillard 14 of 25 No Medal Laser Mark Mendelblatt 8 of 42 No Medal Finn Kevin Hall 11 of 25 No Medal 470 women McDowell/Kinsolving 5 of 20 No Medal Yngling Cronin/Filter/Haberland 10 of 16 No Medal Mistral Men Peter Wells 28 of 35 No Medal Mistral Women Lanee Beashel 16 of 26 No Medal Stars Cayard/Trinter 5 of 17 No Medal Wadlow/Spaulding 5 of 19 No Medal The team of Foerster/Burnham in the men's 470 class was the highlight of the US Sailing Team's stay in Athens. Paul Foerster, 41, and Kevin Brunham, 48, are the "old guys" in the 470 class and the oldest members of the US Sailing Team. This was their 1st gold medal in a career that has spanned many classes and many teammates. Going into the last race of the regatta they had a medal position sewn up, but what color medal depended on how they finished compared to the team from Great Britan who trailed by two points. Foerster/Burnham pounced on team GBR at the beginning of the race and forced them back in the pack. At the end of the race, Foerster/Burnham were over a minute behind the next place boat in second to last while the GBR was in last. Kevin Burnham was so excited that he did a back flip off the boat as soon as they crossed the finish line with the gold medal.

HISTORY Carlyle Sailing Association is an Illinois Not-For-Profit Corporation formed in 1954 as Valley Sailing Association (VSA). The directors of VSA, aware of the shortcomings of the original location and the growth of sailboat racing, investigated sites at several of the lake projects being planned. The most attractive site was Lake Carlyle. The lake consists of 26,000 acres of water, approximately 8 miles-long and 3 miles-wide. The site is located about 55 miles east of St. Louis, Missouri. The directors of VSA spent hundreds of man-hours planning a new sailboat harbor. These efforts resulted in a lease agreement with the Illinois Department of Conservation for the present location. In the spring of 1971, the VSA Corporation moved two-thirds of its membership and assets to Carlyle Lake. Paved boat parking and drives, three jib cranes and 400 feet of dock comprised the major site facilities at the time of occupation. The building complement included a house trailer for the harbormaster, a utility shed, and a "his" and "hers" privy. Through the judicious balance of income and expenditure and participation by the membership, the amenities at CSA have expanded through the years. In 1973 a three-pod pavilion structure was completed. Nineteen seventy-four saw the installation of a rest room/shower facility by the State of Illinois. The harbormaster moved into a new residence in 1975 and an observation building providing shelter from the elements was erected in 1976. Over the years, barbecue pits, children's play area, landscaping, expansion of docks and cabin boat-parking areas, and beach facilities for catamarans were

'AMICABLE' RESOLUTION New Zealander Russell Coutts, the most dominant skipper in America's Cup history, will not try for a fourth straight title in the 2007 regatta as part of a settlement with the Alinghi syndicate. Coutts was fired by the Swiss group in July after a falling out with syndicate head Ernesto Bertarelli over management of defense of the Cup in Valencia, Spain. The case between Coutts and Bertarelli the first European to win the America's Cup had been before the review board of sailing's governing body. But Alinghi released a statement Thursday saying Coutts and Bertarelli "have amicably settled their past disagreements. As part of this settlement, Russell Coutts shall not sail for another team in the 32nd America's Cup." Reached by cell phone, Coutts confirmed the announcement but said he was barred from elaborating. "Both sides agreed not to say anything," he explained. After he was fired, Coutts said Bertarelli, a biotech billionaire who was navigator during Alinghi's five-race sweep of Team New Zealand in March 2003, changed the eligibility rules in a deliberate bid to keep him from racing for another team in 2007. Alinghi said Coutts was fired for his repeated refusal to carry out his duties. Following Alinghi's victory off Auckland, Coutts had contract differences and refused to sail in exhibition regattas against U.S.-based BMW Oracle Racing in San Francisco and Newport, R.I.

International Flying Dutchman Class History It was in the late 40's that the IYRU (now ISAF) instigated a new modern 2-man international dinghy, the Tornado. She was not a success as there was no leap forward compared to the existing pre-war classes. The Royal Loosdrecht Yacht Club, Conrad Gulcher's club, obtained half a dozen Tornados and found them very uninspiring to say the least! Conrad had always been very interested in dinghy sailing and had collected any documentation connected with it. Pre-war he had enjoyed some international sailing in Germany and the UK and he had made many friends in the dinghy sailing scene. He imagined that with modern construction methods, moulded ply, a better boat could be constructed. Being an Insurance Broker and not a designer he enlisted the help of Uus Van Essen, a naval architect and measurer for the Dutch Yacht Federation. They made a preliminary design and early in September 1951 it was sent to 30 top class helmsmen in Europe including Bossom (Z - SUI), John Cahmier (K -GBR), Charles Curry (K - GBR), Manfried Curry (G - GER), Ferry Laagwater (H - NED),Stewart Morris (K - GBR), Morits Skaugen (N - NOR) and Shorty Trimingham (KZB - BER), with the request to comment within two weeks. The measurements were similar to the 15m2 Wanderjolle of mid-European lakes and popular Flying Fifteen. By the end of September 23 responses had been returned with sufficient new and sound ideas to redesign the boat.
