BENETEAU
40.7
This
past weekend the One Design Open was held at RYC which included the Northeast
Championship for Beneteau 40.7's. Our 40.7 fleet has been very close all season
long and it's made up of seven very strong competitors.
It was a picture perfect weekend of sailing with steady winds from 12-19 knots
and very close racing. After 3 races on Saturday our team finished
The Northeast Champs from the Out Of The Blue team (in alphabetical order):

These were the guys on the boat but everyone from the "extended" crew
deserves credit for this. We have continued to improve as a team because the
amount of time we've been able to spend on the water and the quality of the
competition we sail against. It has been a cumulative effect that everyone on
the OOTB team should feel proud of.

8-METER WORLDS:
Kiki Voss Werner, finishing 4th in a 15 boat fleet at the 8 World’s against two brand new boats from Europe, said after the regatta: PICTURE OF GOLDEN FEATHER
“Steve:
I think the best testimony supporting the durability of Haarstick sails is
Golden Feather's performance at the 8metre worlds!! Our newest sails were
nine years old. We had several chuckles about the "Computer Cut"
label - (computers were new then I guess).
Thanks so much for your help and the advice you gave to Kirk Reynolds.
Hope to see you soon.
Kiki”

started computer cutting sails in 1973! That's right, 32 years ago, I setup a

“Tony,
The results have been finalized. Restless won her Division and corrected to
First in the Double Handed Fleet. The crew was Matt Richter and myself.
Our sail inventory is all Haarstick. The mainsail that you worked on for me was the first sail I replaced on the boat in 1997 or 98. I wish I had taken a picture of it when it was up. It still has a nice shape. The spinnaker is our 1/2 oz which was probably new in 2001 or 2002. The two pictures below were taken just after the start. The pole looks a little funky but we accelerated away from the fleet anyways.
Thanks,
Joe”

“Steve,
I thought you might like an update on the two sails I
purchased in the Spring of 2004. They were a Carbon,
153%, Lt/AP,#1
spinnaker. Whenever we used them in the 2004 season we
did well. This year the breeze has been light to
medium in just about all our races , consequently we
have used these sails in every race. They are both
still freakin' fast! I'm glad we don't have to race
against them.

“Hi,
guys,
Infinity (Alberg 30 #57) did it again, although this time the "chick"
(me)
was driving. Infinity found her get-up-and-go as usual, beating a
Catalina 27 scratch -- they rate 213 and we rate 225 :) -- in both 4-mile
races to take two bullets and win the PHRF C fleet in the
Women's Challenge last weekend.
Cheers,
Melissa Currier”

“Steve,
I can't thank you enough for getting that AirX Runner built so quickly
and at such a good price. Please pass the thanks along to your team for
their work. As far as the sail itself goes, just ask anyone in our
division at Saturdays Hospice Regatta about racing The Fish downwind. We
sometimes had some close racing on the first beat but always got to the
top mark first, then.GONE! It is a well designed, and very powerful
kite. And I trust that cloth well into the twenties.
At the NA s we had two days big wind. Lots of planning and surfing. Lots
of multiple wave surfs, lots of speed. We passed a lot of boats down
wind over those couple days with my 5 year old AirX Runner!
I'm also happy with the Carbon AP 153% . Concerned about the fullness
at first, I now feel it is the right sail for this pond. I notice the
acceleration out of tacks and the extra punch in the left-over slop and
I don't feel like we're paying for it with point.
So there you go, the first to bitch when things are less than perfect, I
want to make sure you know when I'm happy as well. I'm Happy!
Jay Tovey”

TALL RIG
To Steve Haarstick
“Steve
I want to thank you for having Eric Christensen sail with us over this past week-end at the Buffalo Yacht Club’s “Mayors Cup”. He really helped us out. We had a light weight crew for Saturday’s racing. This was help however, with winds in four to six knot range. We used our light #1 that is 6 years old. You really did a great job of recutting that Jib this past winter. That sail is really fast in that wind range. We used our 2 year runner down wind. That spinnaker never lets us down.
We were slow boat in the big boy’s fleet. I think that we kind of had them thinking. We were at both windward and leeward marks side by side. We had excellent boat speed upwind and down. Needless to say we won Saturday’s racing.
Sunday
was little different. It was basically hard on the wind back to
