FJUS Nationals Masters Champion

John Snyder (Iowa State Sailing Club Faculty Advisor) and teammate Rayn Richardson (Alumnus of Iowa State Sailing Club) finished 2nd in International FJ Class National Championships, and won the FJUS Master’s Trophy (best over-40 year old skipper) for the second consecutive year, this time on Lake Erie at Catawba Island, OH July 16-18. It is only the third time in the history of the FJUS Master’s Trophy that it has been won by the same person on consecutive years. Sailing conditions were difficult: clear, hot, and very little wind. In the one race with better wind, they finished 1st, and were the only boat to beat the eventual Chamions in any race in the Regatta. They raced a rare wooden FJ (West System epoxy-impregnated) which John had just purchased in Cleveland over Memorial Day weekend, and had to hustle to have ready in time. The International FJ is similar to the “Club FJ” sailed by club and university teams, but has a lighter hull, a spinnaker for downwind sailing, a trapeeze for the crew, and planes much more easily.

Cowtown Classic
Hoover Yacht Club, Ohio
by Ron Stryker

A forecasted front (Sunday) with 30 mph steady and gusts to 51 mph motivated the 21 registered sailors to complete the six scheduled races in a marathon series of shortened courses on Saturday, Shifty East 8-15 mph winds with gusts to 18 mph made local knowledge non-existent.

Three races were sailed in the morning followed by lunch during which the much needed masseuses were kept busy. The three afternoon races were completed in an increasing breeze with light rain topping off the final race. What was slow: Starting early, 720s, and shooting the wrong corner.

During the break between sailing and dinner, the Masters and GMs pretended to feel fine while the amateurs expressed feelings of being a bit sore. Quote of the day: “I’m tired.” The prime rib dinner capped off a full day followed by awards presentation.

As we have done for the last three years, the cowtown and Cowan Lake’s ‘Cowan Scowin’ regatta in October will be scored together with the winner taking the State of Ohio Championship.
