Laser sailors are back in action at the 2021 West Marine US Open Sailing Series in Fort Lauderdale. 

The four days of racing brought in a variety of conditions, from breezy to light and shifty. Four of our athletes stayed at the top of the scoreboard throughout the entirety of the event.

In the Laser fleet, Fillah Karim led the pack of Canadians throughout the beginning of the event until his teammate, Luke Ruitenberg caught up to him on the last day of racing. The final results put Luke in 5th and Fillah in 6th place, followed by Liam Bruce in 17th. 

In the Radial, Sarah Douglas stayed closed to her opponents. Scoring a bullet within the event, she finished in 3rd overall. 

Each Canadian athlete that attended this event went through a thorough COVID screening and have been following the Sail Canada High Performance Covid mitigation policies while on site to ensure their safety and the safety of others.

Stability Screening Alphabet Soup

Sail boats on the horizon.

This a primer on stability for offshore sailboat racing for the racer presented by Richard Hinterhoeller through Lake Ontario Offshore Racing.
January 19, 2021. Register here. (It’s free!)

Upon becoming co-race director for Marblehead-to-Halifax Ocean Race 2007, a potential competitor asked whether his boat would meet the stability requirements for the race. This was Richard’s introduction to, as coined by his Boston Yacht Club counterpart (the late) Geoff Smith, the alphabet soup of stability screening. Even with the aforementioned background, understanding this turned out to be a complex and time-consuming mission. With the goal of saving fellow race organizers and racers time, the webinar presentation “Stability Screening Alphabet Soup” will introduce the various stability screening systems, why they exist, what the acronyms mean and where to get these numbers.Richard is a mechanical engineer who also studied some naval architecture, skills which he applied during 12 years of building boats with his father. While briefly living in Halifax, Richard became race director for Route Halifax Saint-Pierre 2004 and has continued to in that role for offshore category 2 races. He is also involved with the Sail Canada Offshore Group (currently serving as chair) which provides continuity of resources and training across the country.
