Highlights from Recent
Meetings
 Olympic Gold Part 2, and
34th Regatta Recap 2010--
April
Meeting Review
Naples' Trevor Moore, from the
 US Sailing
Alpha Graphics 49er team reported that his team mate Erik Storck suffered
pulled tendons in stong wind practice in Spain, but is on way to recovery.
Great Q&A session delved into team rapport and how the team divides duties
and makes decisions. He related that they continually work on building their
"playbook" of proven moves. Trevor working hard to keep his edge temporarily
teaming up with another split 49er team member... also with one member out on
injury recovery.
 Team now has new coach with
heavy 49er experience. With a couple of years to go for the Olympics, Trevor
has a positive outlook that Erik will be back on board soon in time for the
rest of this year's heavy schedule in Europe.
Help
support their Olympic campaign here as they have achieved
another milestone and are now US team Olympic members.
Meanwhile GCSC
Commodore Jim Gunderson reported that the 34th annual regatta ran a full race
schedule both days with separate race courses for the Melges 24 and Phrf
fleets. The club continues to make this event the Mega Sailing Event of the
Naples sailing year. The 35th annual Regatta is now in planning
stages.

 America's Cup/Olympics Update -- March Meeting Review and recap 2010
In perspective:
Bob Billingham related the vast differences in today's sailing with a detailed
comparison of the 2010 America's Cup to the 2012 Olympic Games. On one side it
was all about using $200 million a piece from a couple of "rich" guys to come
up with the best technology and a personal competition. On the other it is
searching for, and supporting, driven and dedicated younger sailors to
personally perform as the best in the world.
 Bob has the
unique qualification only a few other sailors in the US have ever achieved -
winning both an America's Cup and an Olympic Medal.
With the cup it was engineers, scientists, BMW
Composite Material Labs, Oracle software research with well subsidized check
books. With the Olympics it is individual athletes working for years to
personally achieve that combination of brain power and physical condition
needed to be compete individually and in small teams. Bob outlined the support
programs for the athletics including medical, psychology, coaching, physical
training and fund raising. |
 Saving Sailing
... Can Do! -- February Meeting Review and
recap 2010: Participation in sailing
is down 70% since 1979. Saving Sailing is a hot topic: when the book by the
same title burst onto the scene in October, it quickly garnered 5-star reviews
in the sailing media.
Author Nicholas Hayes' lively and fast moving presentation used
strong data to support his campaign to promote "the family that sails together,
stays together, with kids to benefit from a life long happy participation in
sailing." Dad of two teenagers, his top
 advice is to limit the amount of
time kids spend in front of cable TV and glued to a keyboard. Coordinate free
time of both parents and children to insure the family bonds together, he
explained, and naturally sailing is one of the best ways to achieve
this. SavingSailing.com. |
 In Search of Olympic Gold
January Meeting Review and recap 2010:
Erik Storck and Naples'
Trevor Moore, US Sailing Team AlphaGraphics 49er team, delighted the GCSC
audience with a spirited recap of their first year of a four-year campaign to
medal in the 2012 Summer Olympics in Weymouth GRB. Just the weekend earlier
they had moved up to the Gold Circle in the 49er 2010 World Championship in the
Bahamas and were the highest placing US team. Help support their campaign
here.
