Hi, Performance question. Have any of the races fleet 46 has run, been with spinnaker and boats on the wing together and how did they compare? Thinking of a new deck, and one without a tube, for my own purposes. Thanks

Fleet 46 has for many years raced with only two sails by tradition rather than any local rules. During the 2009 Invitational one of the competitors did use a chute on one downwind and one broad reach leg but against the other lead boats little advantage was gained. It should be noted that there is interest amongst the fleet to bring back our ability to launch the chutes so we can compete with other fleets which use them. Also important is the fact that Fleet 46 sails most weekends in light breezes.

Holiday Greetings
The first significant snow has fallen and the lake is beginning to freeze around the edges. These are certain signs that the holiday season is upon us. At this time of year it is my hope that you are blessed by joining family and friends, sharing warm moments, each other's company, reminiscence of warm days of summer and looking forward to the return to the lake we love so much. - Pete and the rest of the Cinq Mars family.

Ladies and Gents,
The 110 Class Leadership has been working on a revision of the sail measurement portion of the rules book to eliminate some previously conflicting sections that made it difficult for the sailmakers to be sure the sails would "measure in" without copying other other sails. This made it difficult for sailmakers who had not in the past built 110 sails, but were creatively trying to interpret the rules.
Below is a proposed set that is being considered. As we all need to be aware of these rules for any off lake racing and we have a vested interest in keeping our fleet as competitive as possible in our local competitions I'm asking you for comments and observations. In turn what you send to me I will forward onto the class leadership for consideration. Please note the illustrations did not get included so where you see "S-1 or ... S-6" those are pictures which will eventually be in the new rules book.
Also note that if you create a Facebook account and send me an e-mail with our name and boat info I will respond with and invite to join the ALYC 110 Sailors Group which is a place we can share photos and discuss Lake activities like 2010 sailing lessons, Turnabout or other training boats, Lake racing points systems to encourage travelling participation in the larger 110 Class events and other topics of interest.

It is recommended, but not required, that sail dimensions be initially controlled at the fleet level. To this end, each fleet should require that all sails be measured before being used in fleet competition.
1.5 District Competition:
For District Championship competition, sails shall conform to the regulations set forth below. At the option of the host fleet, sails shall be measured prior to competition or such measurement may be waived on the basis of fleet measuring according to Section 1.4 above.

Final Results - Season 2009
The "Ghost Fleet" has completed the 2009 season with the Labor Day races this past Sunday. The Labor Day regatta was won by the 245 Malihini with two wins and a third for a total of 5 points. We had five boats complete the minimum of twenty races this season with four other boats also competing whenever they could. The 2009 Championship went to the 245 Malihini for the third year in a row. This ties the 3 straight championships in the early 1960's by Bucky Wheaton in the 35 boat. There was a hotly contested 2nd place between the 698 and the 35 boat and it was settled on the last day of racing, with the 698 Red Witch nosing out the 35 Nymph by three points. A couple of highlights occured during our races this weekend. The 240 Scoop pulled off his best finish of the season when he took 3rd place in the first race and the 545 Jumpin-Jack-Flash took a first in the second race with Steve Luby at the helm and his wife participating in her first race as crew.
It was another successful season here at the lake and all the sailors had a great time. We look forward to another great time in 2010.
Thanks to everyone for all their help and special thanks to Cassidy Ricci, our official starter for the season. Great job !!
Final Standings:
1st - 245 Malihini
2nd - 698 Red Witch

FLEET 46 Regatta Results
FLEET 46 Regatta Results
First of all, thank you very much for all your help.
We held the Fleet 46 first annual "Ghost Fleet" regatta on Aug. 15th and 16th. We had ten boats competing for the title. Unfortunately, the lake winds were very low and we were only able to get in three races on Saturday, but Sunday was a little better and it actually improved as the day went on, and we were able to get in four races on Sunday. One of the highlights of Sunday races took place in the 6th race when the "Old Timer" Bucky Wheaton ( 80 plus years old ) nosed out the boat with his two sons crewing for a 4th place finish and pushing his sons into a 5th place finish. A loud cheer went up from all the boats in the fleet. Another highlight took place in the 7th race when Cal Brower overtook the regatta winner, Dave Allen, at the finish line for his only first place finish. The cook out at the Patterson's cottage on Friday night was a chance to meet all the sailors and the Porterhouse steak cook out at Bill and Lauren Wheaton's cottage on Saturday night was a great success with over 50 people attending. Even though the wind wasn't as strong as we all would have liked, everyone had a fun weekend and we look forward to establishing an annual regatta every year.
The final standings, after throwing out one race and counting six finishes:
1st - 245 Malihini 9 pts
2nd - 545 Jumpin-Jack-Flash 16 pts
3rd - 35 Nymph 18 pts
4th - 525 DejaVu 19 pts
5th - 698 Red Witch 24 pts
6th - 699 Red Baron 36 pts
7th - 35 Yankee 40 pts
8th - 272 Eagle 46 pts
9th - 240 Scoop 48 pts
10th - 507 Independence DNS
Look forward to a bigger and better regatta next year.

110 Atlantics
FYI - I wanted to share the latest I have heard: Confirmation has just come in that there will be Atlantic's in Newport on August 8th & 9th.
The entrance fee for the two day event should be about $45 including hoist, storage, food.
This is Jazz Festival weekend at the Fort, so expect town to be busy. We have always been able to get in and out with boats easily despite that event. - Pete Cinq Mars

July 26 - Race Results
Looks like the Jumpin Jack Flash is going to be a 110 to reckon with. In her second debut with her new owner and captain, she took home one second and two firsts. One first place finish was after she crossed the line early, bumped into the Eagle, went back over the starting line and did a 360 then proceeded to chase down the fleet.
After the season is half over, the standings are:
1st - 245 Malihini 14 pts
2nd - 698 Red Witch 20 pts
3rd - 35 Nymph 24 pts
4th - 272 Eagle 47 pts.

Weekly Race Results - 7-12-09
It looks like a three boat race this season. After the Nymph's great day yesterday, three boats are in the hunt for first place with only two points between them. With 10 races completed:
1st - Malihini 11 pts
2nd - Red Witch 12 pts
3rd - Nymph 13 pts
4th - Eagle 28 pts
Notes:
Eagle has to be the prettiest gal at the dance with her new paint job, she just shines.
We are looking forward to seeing Jumpin Jack Flash out next weekend, Yankee, Independence and Scoop, too. Where are Red Baron, Anna, can we help get them out on the course, if so reach out to one of the racers and we may have spares or can offer advice or help.
We are also aware of several boats that are "on the hard" and need TLC from owners interested in joining us on the water. Again, let us know, particularly Pete Cinq Mars and we can assit those who would like to join in the sailing of this classic boat.

Sunday June 28th Race Results
Race results for starting day will be posted shortly. Awaiting Racing Director's official communications.
Five boats participated in light breezes. We were fortunate to have a breeze that allowed us to sail down to bouy 7 and use most of the rest of the lake through the three races. We saw a number of kayaks and pontoon boats out and are looking forward to having Independence racing with us next week. Jumping Jack, we hope will be on the course with us for the holiday weekend as are some other boats that who will round out our fleet. Scoop was reportedly the first 110 in the water this year. Eagle, Mahilini, Nymph, and Red Witch raced on this first day.
See below and on thru a link on this page information on the Invitational Regatta.

GHOST FLEET (46) INVITATIONAL REGATTA
The Ghost Fleet (46) Invitational Regatta is being organized as a three day event where International 110's from other racing fleets are invited to race on Alexanders Lake in August. We are expecting boats to begin arriving on the afternoon of Friday August 14th. We are looking to enlist help with launching and the docking of our guests. Response has been positive to our plans and people are already volunteering to provide support with donations of their time.
Dave Allen is our Racing Director and is coordinating efforts. I, Pete Cinq Mars will be coordinating registration and keeping the website for the regatta as current and complete as we can. Particulars for housing, food, social events and awards are being worked out and will be posted as they are nailed down.

First Day of Racing - June 28th 2 PM
Reports are that Scoop, Eagle, Nymph are already for a day of racing. I expect others are or will be, but these in particular I'm aware of... Red Witch is on her way in from Western MA having undergonen some repairs and rebuilding. There is much more to do to get her in top racing shape but time has caught up with the shop team and she needs to get in the water, now!
Anyways, first races are scheduled for 2 PM today.

Ghost Fleet to host Regatta
Hear Ye, Hear Ye, Hear Ye! I've been asked to announce that we have permission to organize a International 110 Regatta to host guest sailors for two days of racing on Lake Alexander in August. The details of whether the racing weekend will be August 8th or August 15th are yet still being worked out. We are excited to make this announcement. Lots to do to prepare for this event but I'm confident that we can together make this a racing weekend to remember. It being our first regatta hosting in too long to remember we hope you will help us make it a fun and welcoming event for our guests. More to follow as I know more details I will let you know. - Pete

2009 Season Planning
All,
It has been a long snowy winter, but the robins and cardinals are back so it is time to begin the preparations for another summer of sailing and racing on our fair lake. Just yesterday I got a call from my skipper letting me know he was ready to get started on Red Witch's season prep including a new mast.
A meeting of the race committee is being organized for early April and as I know more details I will post them. It would be nice if we can get enough boats in the water to begin racing a bit earlier this year.
The 110 Class website has been transferred to a different webmaster as Marty Brown has been busy this winter at the famous Landing School learning more about boatbuilding skills and the trade. Eli Slater has taken over and is working to get all the pieces of the new site working. The forum is already up and getting hits so take a look if you have a chance, I've updated the links on the left side of this page. Amongst the links are blgs for other fleets that are active. There are some rumblings about 110 sailing in New London.
If you are interested in purchasing new hardware for your 110 please drop me a line at petercinqmars@onebox.com as I too will be investing in hardware and perhaps we can pool our purchases like some of us did on the mast purchase last fall making it more reasonable through the sharing of the shipping costs. I will in turn reach out to several vendors who may make the items we are looking for and see if we can get a deal on the purchase of these parts.
One other note that I wanted to share is that the organization responsible for racing rules has released its new Rules Book to cover 2009-2012. More information can be obtained by going to their website USSAILING.ORG.
Looking forward to seeing you soon and being out on the water.
