Afew years ago I heard the call ofthe sea again I spent the first eight
years of my adult life in and aroundnuclear submarines in Virginia andHawaii and fell in love with the oceanI enjoyed many things about sub-marines but concluded that sailing ontop of the water was much more enjoy-able than being below the surfaceAmong other things sunsets observedthrough a periscope were no match forthose experienced from the deck of asmall boat As much as I enjoyed sea-side living Midwestern roots and alovely St Paul girl led me to Minnesotain 1995 Kids and careers dominatedthe next thirteen years We owned a fewboats sailed the city lakes inMinneapolis and chartered once a sum-mer on Lake Superior Recently Idropped out of the rat race to stay homewith my daughters and decided to dosomething fun before it was too late(see ldquoSo You Want to Be a SailingInstructorrdquo Northern BreezesOctNovDec 2008) I began teachingAmerican Sailing Association (ASA)Basic Keelboat classes for NorthernBreezes Sailing School in the summerand Coastal Navigation and MarineWeather in the winter in addition toworking part time in the school office
I enjoyed teaching and learning theropes of the sailing business Familyschool and work kept us in Minneapolisdespite the short season The sea wascalling but there were always other pri-orities Lake Superior became a willingsurrogate for the salt water that Icraved The open water occasionalrough conditions and terrific cruisingonly a few hours drive from home keptme satisfied As my interest experienceand confidence in sailing instructiongrew I knew it was time to move up theladder In the ASANorthern Breezeshierarchy that meant teaching BasicCoastal Cruising and BareboatChartering onboard the schoolrsquos live-aboard yachts in Bayfield Wisconsin
But there was one major hurdle Toteach on Lake Superior (or any of theGreat Lakes or oceans) you need to belicensed by the US Coast GuardFurther motivation to advance was theopportunity to break into the instructorranks for Northern Breezesrsquo classes inthe British Virgin Islands I can think offew better jobs than getting paid to sailin the Caribbean in the winter I wasdetermined to succeed and thought thatit couldnrsquot be that hard to get a licenseespecially for an ex-Navy guy Iresearched the requirements andlearned that it wouldnrsquot be as easy as Ithought But I did it Herersquos how
Let me publicly state here that mywife Kathleen is a keeper She wasamazingly supportive and knew howmuch I loved teaching sailing despite
the belief of many that it is a ldquoplayrdquo jobI also need to thank my daughtersDanielle and Amy who put up with anabsentee father for much of last sum-mer while I taught on the evenings andweekends and logged hours in goodweather and bad
The first decision was what type ofCoast Guard license to get The lowest-level license required to teach on theGreat Lakes is an Operator ofUninspected Passenger Vessels(OUPV) which restricts you to six pay-ing passengers and vessels smaller than100 gross tons This license is usuallyreferred to as a ldquoSix-Packrdquo a term Irsquomtold the Coast Guard dislikes To carrymore than six passengers or to operateinspected vessels (usually larger boatslike ferries tugs and tour boats) you

need a Masterrsquos license which carry atonnage limit typically 25 50 100 or200 gross tons Licenses are furthersubdivided by geography such asInland (lakes and rivers) Great Lakesand Near Coastal waters (up to 100nautical miles offshore) For any levelof license I would need to submit thefollowing items (details can be found atwwwuscgmil) bull Signed application (Coast Guard
form 719B)
bull Conviction statement and writtendisclosure of felonies and drugarrests
bull Three letters of recommendation
bull Physical examination (Form 719K)

bull Documented CPR and First Aidtraining

bull Merchant Mariner Oath signedand notarized
bull Pass a series of written examina-tions
bull Evidence of appropriate sea serv-ice (Form 719S)
bull $145 Evaluation and Issuance Fee(payable at wwwpaygov)
The list of requirements lookeddaunting although none were too diffi-cult taken individually Like so manytasks it was just a matter of time andmoney What I wasnrsquot expecting wasthat the most obvious prerequisite-boat-ing experience-would end up being thebottleneck
The minimum experience neededfor an OUPV (Six-Pack) or Master
Inland was 360 days on the water sinceage 15 with 90 of those days in the pastthree years For a Great Lakes endorse-ment 90 days had to be on thosewaters A ldquodayrdquo is a minimum of fourhours underway (not at anchor or at thedock) and you cannot claim multiplefour-hour ldquodaysrdquo in any one calendarday No problem I thought I didnrsquotgrow up in a boating family but withalmost a decade in the Navy and yearsof day sailing experience it was just amatter of filling out the forms WrongThere were a couple of catches Thefirst was the phrase ldquoappropriate seaservicerdquo Appropriate meant similarlysized vessels to what I wanted thelicense for in my case teaching on 30-40 foot sailing yachts Nuclear sub-marines are small by warship standardsbut at nearly 7000 tons they are muchtoo large to be considered similar to a

Exam review with Captain Ted Gephart Superior Marine Training
10-ton sailboat Conversely our 16-foot J-scow was unballasted and hadonly a paddle for auxiliary power Toosmall Catch number two was the CoastGuardrsquos bias for sea service on federalwaters The logic here was that youwere getting a license to operate onwaters under federal authority so thatrsquoswhere your sea time should be Mycharter experience on Lake Superiorcounted as did my two seasons owninglarger boats on Lake Pepin and the StCroix River There was also some ridetime on OPBs (Other Peoplersquos Boats)but in the end I could only come upwith about half of the necessary 360days and was frustrated that the major-ity of my experience did not qualify Toclaim sea time on your own vessel(s)you must submit a Coast Guard Form719S plus proof of ownership such astitle bill-of-sale or insurance docu-ments To claim time on OPBs youneed to get the ownerrsquos signature on theform Sea service documentation isessentially on the honor system sincethe Coast Guard doesnrsquot have the
resources to audit everyonersquos claimedexperience The temptation to fudge thenumbers was strong and Irsquom sure ithappens but I decided to take the highroad In hindsight cheating would haverobbed me of some wonderful newadventures and friendships and Irsquomglad I did it the right way
So I got busy sailing My plan wasto log 180 days on the water over twoyears Ninety days in 2008 and 100 in2009 pretty ambitious for the shortnorthern sailing season I taught class-es chartered and sailed on OPBs I vol-unteered for boat deliveries traveled toFlorida in the winter took advancedsailing classes signed up for grouptrips and basically agreed to go any-where with anybody to get out on thewater I sailed new cruising groundsvisited new harbors sailed after darkdid overnight passages and met lots ofnew people And I got plenty of single-handed experience on my own twoboats which was useful as an instructorfor when (not if) you have to take overfrom students The amount of new
experience and confidence I gained wasbreathtaking I often sailed in marginalconditions that probably would havekept me ashore if I hadnrsquot needed thesea time Few of us enjoy sailing insnotty weather but thatrsquos where the realskills are earned Of course therersquos a

fine line between courage and foolhar-diness but that judgment comes fromexperience and education and I wasgetting plenty of both The reality isthat I am a much better sailor andinstructor for having followed the rulesPlus I had so much fun that I kept onsailing even after hitting the magicnumber of 360 and ended up with fivedays of overkill
In the off season I bought a studyguide and hit the books Candidateshave to pass written tests on Rules ofthe Road General NavigationCharting Deck Seamanship and SafetyHere my Navy experience was veryuseful as Uncle Sam had taught me alot of the material when I was trainingfor the submarine fleet Navigation andcharting hadnrsquot changed much since Ilearned them in the 1980s and much ofthe firefighting safety and deck sea-manship topics were also reviewAdditionally my ASA courses rein-forced some of the material includingthe Rules of the Road which required apassing score of 90 for all levels oflicenses I had originally planned tostudy on my own then I learned that Iwould have to travel to one of the CoastGuardrsquos 17 Regional ExaminationCenters (RECs) to take the tests The
nearest RECs to my Minneapolis homewere St Louis Missouri and ToledoOhio The other option was to take theexams at an authorized school and therewere a couple near the Twin Cities
So there I was in April of 2009 lis-tening to Captain Ted Gephart ownerof Superior Marine Training Therewere 15 students in the class mostlypower boaters from Minnesota andWisconsin although three of us weresailors and one student had traveledfrom Missouri Ted plowed through thehuge volume of material in the 60-hourclass with energy and humor Sometopics were dry and tedious such as theCode of Federal Regulations whileothers like marine weather were moreinteresting We covered Rules of theRoad every day until we could justabout recite the book Hands-ondemonstrations on life rafts and riggingblocks and tackles were useful andthere was plenty of charting practice tobreak up the textbook lessons Becausethe sea time for an OUPV and InlandMasters license were the same I decid-ed to upgrade Superior Marine offeredthe Masterrsquos course for an additionalfee and three more days of classesCaptain Ted also incorporated theAuxiliary Sail and Assistance Towing
material and exams into the Masterscourse so I got those endorsements tooHe even arranged for on-site drug test-ing and medical exams for those thatneeded them Tuition also includedindividual consultation on the applica-tion process supported by Tedrsquos 20-plus years of experience trainingprofessional mariners
I was slowly checking things offmy list A new brainchild of bureaucra-cy is the Department of HomelandSecurityrsquos Transportation WorkerIdentification Credential (TWIC)Originally conceived to control accessto secure areas of commercial ports itis now required for all licensed mer-chant mariners including Great Lakessailing instructors The TWIC is aphoto ID card with a chip containingbiometric and personal information Itrsquosimpressive and official-looking but itcost me $145 and a couple of trips to aRoseville Minnesota office park I alsoneeded to take an oath and get it nota-rized Three letters of recommendationwere required for new applicants frompeople (preferably not relatives) whocan attest to onersquos character and suit-ability for the duties of Captain orMaster Irsquom happy to say that it wasnrsquottoo hard to find three friends whothought I would make a good captain(Thanks Julia Brian and Thom)
When the sailboats were hauled outin October it was time to assemble myapplication and send it in I applied fora 50-ton Masterrsquos license I had origi-nally wanted a 100-ton ticket but youneeded 90 days of service on vessels of51 gross tons or higher or 180 days onvessels over 334 tons according to therules For a 50-ton license only oneday on a vessel larger than five tons isrequired Interestingly a Coast Guardton is based on interior volume not dis-placement

One week $60 and another urine sample later I faxed thenew test results (yes they were negative) to my examiner apleasant lady in West Virginia who was very helpful andunderstanding The NMC sent me regular updates via e-mailand had a website where I could log in anytime and check thestatus of my application My phone calls got returned and Ihad a very positive experience dealing with the Coast GuardBy mid-December I had my license It looks like a red pass-port complete with holographic images embedded in thepages and a clear pocket in the back for my TWIC card
The whole process cost me several thousand dollars andmany spring summer and fall days away from my familyWould I do it all over again Absolutely It opened up newteaching opportunities previously forbidden by law raised mypay grade separated me from other ASA instructors and gaveme a cool title Sure the designation feeds the ego but thereal value for me was the experience gained in accumulatingthe sea time I thought I already had I am a much more confi-dent and capable sailor and instructor for having met all of therequirements as written I suppose thatrsquos why theyrsquorerequired Officially I am a 50-ton Inland and Great Lakes

Often I chat withboaters regarding a
wide range of boat-smarttopics fog being one Thattopic came to the forefrontafter a fog bank shroudedthe waters off Manisteeduring the Salmon Splash333 fishing TournamentThe captains I spoke withemphasized safety and situ-ational awareness whenoperating in fog in otherwords boat smart
Manisteersquos 2009Salmon Splash 333 Best ofthe Best boasted a $10000first-place price Needlessto say fog was not goingto deter anglers from pur-suing the grand prize evenit meant running in fogwhich they did on the sec-ond day of the tournament In all therewere 58 boats in the tournament
With that many boats picking theirway through the fog in close proximitythe chance for collisions seemed immi-nent yet none occurred or at least nonethat were reported Several captains Ispoke with told me they lost fishinglines severed when boats crossed theirstern ldquoBut that comes with the territo-ryrdquo said one captain referring to thefog especially when fishing linesextend well off the stern
What impressed me about theanglers I spoke with and the tourna-ment guidelines is that safety ruledMatthew Salerno and his brother Tonywho won the $10000 prize aboard theirboat Living a Dream told me they trollat about 25 knots with a forward look-out at all times Safety equipment isreadily at hand and the crew is familiarwith its use
Communicating with other tourna-ment boats is prohibited whether it bea cell phone or marine radio unless inthe event of an emergency These
anglers were literally on their own andalone in the fog ldquoWe kept our eyes onthe radar at all timesrdquo said MattSalerno Not all the boats howevercarried radar but still kept safe by fol-lowing a basic navigation rule
Rule 6 of the Navigation Rulesstates ldquoEvery vessel shall at all timesproceed at a safe speed so that she cantake proper and effective action toavoid collision and be stopped within adistance appropriate to the prevailingcircumstances and conditionsrdquo
One of the conditions addressed inthe rules is state of visibilityApparently these anglers some ofwhom were Coast Guard licensed cap-tains understood the rules and so com-plied However not all the boaters onthe lake that day
were part of the tournament norexercising boat smarts one such boaternearly slammed into one of the tourna-ment boats
ldquoWe were fishing a mile off BigPoint Sable in a hundred and thirty feetof water when out of the fog emerged
this 35-foot powerboatheading right at us pullinga dingy off its sternrdquo saidthe captain of the tourna-ment boat Katch-Me ldquoWewaved our arms andhollered as he bore downon usrdquo The captain figuresthe boat was travelingabout 15 knots
One of the crewmanaboard believes the boatoperator was not expect-ing to encounter in fog afleet of boats on LakeMichigan on a Thursdaymorning Thursday morn-ing or Saturday afternoonhas little to do with main-taining a proper lookoutand using all availablemeans to avoid a collisionin fog Also towing a
dinghy behind a boat in fog is not toobright Another boat could run over thetow line and foul its prop(s) or theboater pulling it might snag the towingline while backing down to avoid a col-lision
What I find disturbing about thisincident is that the tournament boaterswere using all means available toassure not only their own safety butthat of their fellow anglers Then alongcomes a boater who seems oblivious tothe safety of others or worse yet wasjust boat stupid
I suspect it is the latter untilboaters are required to boat smart thosethat do must keep a very sharp lookoutfog or not

Waves are like snowflakes No twoare exactly the same and therefore
you have to treat each one as a unique anddifferent entity The same is true in thebig picturemdashevery sequence of wavesyou face during a race will be at least alittle different from anything you haveever seen before So you must continual-ly work at finding the optimal paththrough the waves you face
When you get to the race course it ishelpful to ask a few questions to under-stand the waves and how they will affectyour race
bull Are the waves perpendicular to thewind direction If the waves are flowingin the same direction as the wind thenyou will generally have symmetry fromtack to tack But If not you will need toset things up differently on each tack
bull Are you going faster or slower thanthe waves downwind Figure out if thewaves are helping you (ie theyre goingfaster than you) or hurting you (yourefaster than them) Also do surfing condi-tions exist This is key to knowing if youare allowed to pump your sails Here arefurther explanations of some of theseconcepts
28 Visit Northern Breezes Online wwwsailingbreezescom - JuneJuly 2010
Key wave conceptsby David Dellenbaugh
bull Whats causing the waves The sizeand shape of waves will depend onwhether they are caused by wind currentor boats You could have smooth swellsfrom a storm far away steep chop when astrong breeze blows over shallow wateror when current flows against the windor random chop from motorboats in aspectator fleet
bull Are the waves the normal size thatyou would expect for the wind velocityFor various reasons the waves might belarger or smaller than normal (see below)This could have huge implications forsteering trimming and sailing the boat
Check for wave asymmetry When youre racing upwind are the waves equal on each tack They are usually similar on port andstarboard tacks because waves are created by the wind and therefore they come from that directionHowever this is not always the case Sometimes the waves are not perpendicular to the wind andthis can have a huge impact on the way you sail your boat
There are several reasons why waves may be different from tack to tack bull Windshifts - If the waves are at first aligned with the wind any change in wind direction will
make them unaligned (at least for a while)This is very common bull Presence of nearby land - If there is land to windward of the course it could affect how waves
move across the racing area bull A distant storm -When youre racing on the ocean there are often swells coming from a direc-
tion thats very different from your sailing wind bull Cross-current - If you have a strong current that is not aligned with the wind it often creates
waves that arent square to the wind When you first start sailing in your race area check to see if the waves are the same on each
tack If not make the appropriate sail trim adjustments For example you will have to make your sailsfuller and more twisted on the bumpier tack (which goes more directly into the waves) On the other(smoother) tack you may be able to trim your sails much flatter and tighter You can point higher onthis tack too and keep your weight a little farther forward
There are also strategic implications of wave asymmetry For example if port tack is smootherit might mean the wind has shifted to the right When wave asymmetry is caused by a persistentwindshift its better to sail the smoother tack first since that will take you in the direction where thewind is shifting
Motorboat waves It would be hard to run most sailboat raceswithout motorboats but it sure would be nice ifwe could run them without motorboat wakesUnfortunately waves from motorboats are afact of life in most racing venues and the goodsailors simply figure out how to handle them
Motorboat waves differ from wind gener-ated waves in several important ways They areoften steeper and closer together (and thereforecan potentially hurt your speed much more)Boat waves typically hit you at strange angles(rather than straight with the wind) And fortu-nately they usually come and go pretty quickly
The first rule for maintaining speedthrough waves is to hit them at an angle(instead of head on)This is normally worthdoing even if it requires a significant alteration inthe course you have been sailing In fact it mayeven make sense to tack or jibe so big waveshit your stern rather than your bow
The second rule of thumb for motorboatwaves is to make sure you are going fast justbefore you hit them In other words be proac-tive by bearing off (or heading up on a run)easing (or trimming) your sails moving weightaft etc Dont wait until the first wave hits youbefore making these changes
As I mentioned above you ideally want tohit motorboat waves at an oblique angle andfully powered up But sometimes you cant doboth When the waves are coming at you paral-lel to the wind you have to make a choice Itsusually better to hit waves at an angle even ifyou have to pinch up and lose a little speedThis seems better than bearing off for speedand hitting the waves head on
Waves relative to windIn any wind velocity there is a certain size andshape of waves that you normally see with thatamount of wind In a five-knot breeze forexample the water surface should be almosttotally flat In 18 knots of wind however youexpect to see fairly good-sized waves withwhitecaps
But as every sailor knows you dontalways get normal sea conditions You mightsee bigger or smaller waves than whats typicalfor that wind velocity and this will affect howyou set up and sail your boat
When Im racing I categorize the wavestate in three general ways
1) Normal waves for the wind 2) Morewind than waves and 3) More waves thanwind Heres a closer look at each
More wind than waves This is almost always a fun condition for sailing(unless youre trying to do a windy jibe) Itsgreat (or painting and speed and makes stay-ing in the groove pretty easy
Here are several times when you are like-ly to see this condition
bull A building breezemdashthe breeze is up butthe waves havent had time to build yet
bull An offshore breezemdashthe water is flatteras you get closer to land because there is lessfetch for the waves to build
bull Current flowing with the wind When you have more wind than waves
you can trim your sails flatter and harder thanyou normally would in that breeze You shouldsail most boats as flat as possible and go formaximum height (pointing)
More waves than wind This is almost always a tough condition for sail-ing (unless you are sailing downwind withenough breeze to surf) It makes finding thegroove difficult and it quickly separates thegood sailors from the rest
You will typically see this condition withbull A dying breezemdashthe breeze always
changes faster than the wave state bull An onshore breezemdashwhen the wind is
blowing toward the shore it usually has a longfetch for the waves to build
bull Current flowing against the wind bull Lots of motorboat wakes (the worst) When you have more waves than wind be
careful about trimming too hard or pointing toohigh Err on the side of twist power and footingso you keep going fast

Watch for leeway caused by waves Waves make sailboats go up and down and they also push boats to leeward
The difference between the course you steer and the course you make goodthrough the water is your leeway angle The size of this angle is a result of
many factors such as heel angle wind velocity boat design and waveheight Though leeway for racing boats is usually not more than a few
degrees it will get slightly larger as the waves get bigger The main place where you will notice leeway is in relationto fixed objects like marks Your laylines are wider for
example in waves so you must allow a little extra distance before tacking
One place where its easyto see how much the waves pushyou to leeward is at the starting lineWhen boats attempt to luff in place on the line
they often slide much farther to leeward thanthey think Thats one reason why there
is often a significant line sag when thewaves are big
Go fast upwindin waves
Except for those few times when youare able to ride a motorboat wake
coming from behind waves are neverhelpful when youre racing upwind Itsalways faster to sail in flatter water andthat should be your first rule of thumbon beats
Sailing fast in waves requires ateam effort that involves the drivertrimmers and the rest of the crew Youhave to look ahead for waves that arecoming shift gears and find the bestway to steer through them
There are three basic strategies fordealing with waves upwind You cansail directly through the waves steerover the waves or try to avoid thewaves More likely you will do somecombination of the above
Going straight through waves isusually the best option when the wavesare everywhere and too small to steeraround The bigger and heavier yourboat the more likely you are to takethis approach since its often impossibleor slow to turn your rudder for individ-ual waves
This is not a great option for biggerwaves but sometimes it is your onlychoice (eg when all the waves are bigand steep) In that case try to keep the
boat going a little faster than usual upthe beat The most costly mistake is tobe too slow when you hit a bad wave
Anticipation is important The keyto maintaining speed through badwaves is to shift gears before you get tothem That means you need enoughwarning to power up your sail planbefore the bow digs into the first wave
Steering over the waves is a goodidea when they are larger and spacedfarther apart and when going straightthrough them is slow The smaller andlighter your boat the more effectivethis is
The basic technique for sailingover waves is to head up on the frontside and bear off the back side In other

words luff toward the wind a little asyou go up the wave and then bear offaway from the wind as you go down theback side The steeper the wave and thefaster your speed over the waves themore sharply you will have to turn yourhelm and your boat
In boats that are light enough to beaffected by the positioning of crewweight combine the steering with arotational movement of your bodiesLean aft (and maybe in a little) as yougo up the wave Then lean out and for-ward as you go over the top and downthe back side
Avoiding waves is always the pre-ferred option This works well whenyou have identifiable areas of badwaves such as boat wakes or sets ofespecially large steep waves Sinceyou can never avoid all waves youmust use this in concert with otherways to sail through waves but thisstrategy should always be a part of yourupwind plan
The techniques that work best inwaves are often subtle enough that younever know how well they are workinguntil you measure your performanceagainst nearby boats So test your wavestrategy before the start and continue toevaluate it during the race If youre notfast change something and try again
Put your weight in the right places One of the reasons why waves make a boat gomore slowly is because they cause it to hobby-horse which disrupts the air flow around itssails and the water flow around its foils This isespecially harmful in lighter air
The main goal of positioning your weightin waves therefore should be to reduce hobby-horsing Keep your crew together as much aspossible and near the middle of the boat In lightair the ideal spot is right at the top of the keelsince that is the point around which the sailplan hull and foils pivot When conditions arebumpy and light its not unusual for crews to sitdown below on the cabin sole (in bigger boats)or to crouch down inside the cockpit (one-designs)This reduces the range of motion ofthe mast and keelcenterboard
In heavy air the crew cant be inside theboat of course Instead they should sit tightlytogether like the crew on the boat above Thefore-and-aft position of their weight depends onthe boat wind strength and wave shapeGenerally the crew should be at least slightlyfarther aft when its rough (than when its flatwith the same wind velocity) to keep the bowfrom plowing into waves
If youre racing upwind in waves and youthink your weight is positioned perfectly but youarent going fast try moving your crew a littlefarther apart Sometimes the boat doesnt clickwith the natural frequency of the wavesmdashbutdifferent crew spacing may improve this har-mony (and therefore your speed)
These waves are unusually large uniform and rounded on top so its not necessary tosteer around them very much The ideal course would be a gradual slight arc to windwardon the approaching face of the wave followed by a similar bearing off down the back side
How much to steer in wavesWhen youre sailing upwind waves will
always slow you down so you should avoidthem as much as possible (see below)However when you turn your rudder to steeraround waves the drag you create will alsomake you go slower Therefore you are alwayssearching for the optimal tradeoff betweenusing a lot of rudder and missing waves versususing less rudder and hitting waves
The only true way to judge whether youare doing a good (fast) job of this is by com-paring your performance to that of a nearbyboat Thats why its critical when you havewaves to train with another boat if possible andto tune up with a competitor before every raceWhile you are doing this try different steeringtechniques to see what is fastest in the unique
conditions that you have on any dayThe last thing you
want to do in awavy race is
to be look-ing for
the groove as you come off the starting line Several factors influence the tradeoff of
how aggressively you should steer (ie howquickly and how far you should turn the rud-der) Here are two important considerations
bull Size and shape of the waves - Are thewaves big small rounded or crested Howsteep and close together are they You donthave to steer much in small waves or even bigswells but medium-size waves can present atough challenge especially when theyre steepandor close together
bull Characteristics of your boat - Is yourboat large or small (relative to the waves) lightor heavy Does it turn easily Does it have anarrow bow that cuts easily through the wavesor a fat bow that slams into waves All thesefactors affect the tradeoff of hitting a wave ver-sus turning to miss it
One thing thats true for all boats andwaves is that when you turn the boat its bestto do this with as little rudder as possibleReduce drag by steering with sail trim and bodyweight For example use windward helm toallow the boat to carve its own turn to windwardon the front of the wave Then at the top of thewave hike out hard and ease the mainsheet ortraveler to help bear off down the back side Ifyou can turn the boat without so much dragthen the tradeoff moves in the direction of steer-ing to miss more waves

Afew years ago I heard the call ofthe sea again I spent the first eight
years of my adult life in and aroundnuclear submarines in Virginia andHawaii and fell in love with the oceanI enjoyed many things about sub-marines but concluded that sailing ontop of the water was much more enjoy-able than being below the surfaceAmong other things sunsets observedthrough a periscope were no match forthose experienced from the deck of asmall boat As much as I enjoyed sea-side living Midwestern roots and alovely St Paul girl led me to Minnesotain 1995 Kids and careers dominatedthe next thirteen years We owned a fewboats sailed the city lakes inMinneapolis and chartered once a sum-mer on Lake Superior Recently Idropped out of the rat race to stay homewith my daughters and decided to dosomething fun before it was too late(see ldquoSo You Want to Be a SailingInstructorrdquo Northern BreezesOctNovDec 2008) I began teachingAmerican Sailing Association (ASA)Basic Keelboat classes for NorthernBreezes Sailing School in the summerand Coastal Navigation and MarineWeather in the winter in addition toworking part time in the school office
I enjoyed teaching and learning theropes of the sailing business Familyschool and work kept us in Minneapolisdespite the short season The sea wascalling but there were always other pri-orities Lake Superior became a willingsurrogate for the salt water that Icraved The open water occasionalrough conditions and terrific cruisingonly a few hours drive from home keptme satisfied As my interest experienceand confidence in sailing instructiongrew I knew it was time to move up theladder In the ASANorthern Breezeshierarchy that meant teaching BasicCoastal Cruising and BareboatChartering onboard the schoolrsquos live-aboard yachts in Bayfield Wisconsin
But there was one major hurdle Toteach on Lake Superior (or any of theGreat Lakes or oceans) you need to belicensed by the US Coast GuardFurther motivation to advance was theopportunity to break into the instructorranks for Northern Breezesrsquo classes inthe British Virgin Islands I can think offew better jobs than getting paid to sailin the Caribbean in the winter I wasdetermined to succeed and thought thatit couldnrsquot be that hard to get a licenseespecially for an ex-Navy guy Iresearched the requirements andlearned that it wouldnrsquot be as easy as Ithought But I did it Herersquos how
Let me publicly state here that mywife Kathleen is a keeper She wasamazingly supportive and knew howmuch I loved teaching sailing despite
the belief of many that it is a ldquoplayrdquo jobI also need to thank my daughtersDanielle and Amy who put up with anabsentee father for much of last sum-mer while I taught on the evenings andweekends and logged hours in goodweather and bad
The first decision was what type ofCoast Guard license to get The lowest-level license required to teach on theGreat Lakes is an Operator ofUninspected Passenger Vessels(OUPV) which restricts you to six pay-ing passengers and vessels smaller than100 gross tons This license is usuallyreferred to as a ldquoSix-Packrdquo a term Irsquomtold the Coast Guard dislikes To carrymore than six passengers or to operateinspected vessels (usually larger boatslike ferries tugs and tour boats) you

fine line between courage and foolhar-diness but that judgment comes fromexperience and education and I wasgetting plenty of both The reality isthat I am a much better sailor andinstructor for having followed the rulesPlus I had so much fun that I kept onsailing even after hitting the magicnumber of 360 and ended up with fivedays of overkill
In the off season I bought a studyguide and hit the books Candidateshave to pass written tests on Rules ofthe Road General NavigationCharting Deck Seamanship and SafetyHere my Navy experience was veryuseful as Uncle Sam had taught me alot of the material when I was trainingfor the submarine fleet Navigation andcharting hadnrsquot changed much since Ilearned them in the 1980s and much ofthe firefighting safety and deck sea-manship topics were also reviewAdditionally my ASA courses rein-forced some of the material includingthe Rules of the Road which required apassing score of 90 for all levels oflicenses I had originally planned tostudy on my own then I learned that Iwould have to travel to one of the CoastGuardrsquos 17 Regional ExaminationCenters (RECs) to take the tests The
nearest RECs to my Minneapolis homewere St Louis Missouri and ToledoOhio The other option was to take theexams at an authorized school and therewere a couple near the Twin Cities
So there I was in April of 2009 lis-tening to Captain Ted Gephart ownerof Superior Marine Training Therewere 15 students in the class mostlypower boaters from Minnesota andWisconsin although three of us weresailors and one student had traveledfrom Missouri Ted plowed through thehuge volume of material in the 60-hourclass with energy and humor Sometopics were dry and tedious such as theCode of Federal Regulations whileothers like marine weather were moreinteresting We covered Rules of theRoad every day until we could justabout recite the book Hands-ondemonstrations on life rafts and riggingblocks and tackles were useful andthere was plenty of charting practice tobreak up the textbook lessons Becausethe sea time for an OUPV and InlandMasters license were the same I decid-ed to upgrade Superior Marine offeredthe Masterrsquos course for an additionalfee and three more days of classesCaptain Ted also incorporated theAuxiliary Sail and Assistance Towing

Often I chat withboaters regarding a
wide range of boat-smarttopics fog being one Thattopic came to the forefrontafter a fog bank shroudedthe waters off Manisteeduring the Salmon Splash333 fishing TournamentThe captains I spoke withemphasized safety and situ-ational awareness whenoperating in fog in otherwords boat smart
Manisteersquos 2009Salmon Splash 333 Best ofthe Best boasted a $10000first-place price Needlessto say fog was not goingto deter anglers from pur-suing the grand prize evenit meant running in fogwhich they did on the sec-ond day of the tournament In all therewere 58 boats in the tournament
With that many boats picking theirway through the fog in close proximitythe chance for collisions seemed immi-nent yet none occurred or at least nonethat were reported Several captains Ispoke with told me they lost fishinglines severed when boats crossed theirstern ldquoBut that comes with the territo-ryrdquo said one captain referring to thefog especially when fishing linesextend well off the stern
What impressed me about theanglers I spoke with and the tourna-ment guidelines is that safety ruledMatthew Salerno and his brother Tonywho won the $10000 prize aboard theirboat Living a Dream told me they trollat about 25 knots with a forward look-out at all times Safety equipment isreadily at hand and the crew is familiarwith its use
Communicating with other tourna-ment boats is prohibited whether it bea cell phone or marine radio unless inthe event of an emergency These
anglers were literally on their own andalone in the fog ldquoWe kept our eyes onthe radar at all timesrdquo said MattSalerno Not all the boats howevercarried radar but still kept safe by fol-lowing a basic navigation rule
Rule 6 of the Navigation Rulesstates ldquoEvery vessel shall at all timesproceed at a safe speed so that she cantake proper and effective action toavoid collision and be stopped within adistance appropriate to the prevailingcircumstances and conditionsrdquo
One of the conditions addressed inthe rules is state of visibilityApparently these anglers some ofwhom were Coast Guard licensed cap-tains understood the rules and so com-plied However not all the boaters onthe lake that day
were part of the tournament norexercising boat smarts one such boaternearly slammed into one of the tourna-ment boats
ldquoWe were fishing a mile off BigPoint Sable in a hundred and thirty feetof water when out of the fog emerged
this 35-foot powerboatheading right at us pullinga dingy off its sternrdquo saidthe captain of the tourna-ment boat Katch-Me ldquoWewaved our arms andhollered as he bore downon usrdquo The captain figuresthe boat was travelingabout 15 knots
One of the crewmanaboard believes the boatoperator was not expect-ing to encounter in fog afleet of boats on LakeMichigan on a Thursdaymorning Thursday morn-ing or Saturday afternoonhas little to do with main-taining a proper lookoutand using all availablemeans to avoid a collisionin fog Also towing a
dinghy behind a boat in fog is not toobright Another boat could run over thetow line and foul its prop(s) or theboater pulling it might snag the towingline while backing down to avoid a col-lision
What I find disturbing about thisincident is that the tournament boaterswere using all means available toassure not only their own safety butthat of their fellow anglers Then alongcomes a boater who seems oblivious tothe safety of others or worse yet wasjust boat stupid
I suspect it is the latter untilboaters are required to boat smart thosethat do must keep a very sharp lookoutfog or not

Waves are like snowflakes No twoare exactly the same and therefore
you have to treat each one as a unique anddifferent entity The same is true in thebig picturemdashevery sequence of wavesyou face during a race will be at least alittle different from anything you haveever seen before So you must continual-ly work at finding the optimal paththrough the waves you face
When you get to the race course it ishelpful to ask a few questions to under-stand the waves and how they will affectyour race
bull Are the waves perpendicular to thewind direction If the waves are flowingin the same direction as the wind thenyou will generally have symmetry fromtack to tack But If not you will need toset things up differently on each tack
bull Are you going faster or slower thanthe waves downwind Figure out if thewaves are helping you (ie theyre goingfaster than you) or hurting you (yourefaster than them) Also do surfing condi-tions exist This is key to knowing if youare allowed to pump your sails Here arefurther explanations of some of theseconcepts

Key wave conceptsby David Dellenbaugh
bull Whats causing the waves The sizeand shape of waves will depend onwhether they are caused by wind currentor boats You could have smooth swellsfrom a storm far away steep chop when astrong breeze blows over shallow wateror when current flows against the windor random chop from motorboats in aspectator fleet
bull Are the waves the normal size thatyou would expect for the wind velocityFor various reasons the waves might belarger or smaller than normal (see below)This could have huge implications forsteering trimming and sailing the boat
Check for wave asymmetry When youre racing upwind are the waves equal on each tack They are usually similar on port andstarboard tacks because waves are created by the wind and therefore they come from that directionHowever this is not always the case Sometimes the waves are not perpendicular to the wind andthis can have a huge impact on the way you sail your boat
There are several reasons why waves may be different from tack to tack bull Windshifts - If the waves are at first aligned with the wind any change in wind direction will
make them unaligned (at least for a while)This is very common bull Presence of nearby land - If there is land to windward of the course it could affect how waves
move across the racing area bull A distant storm -When youre racing on the ocean there are often swells coming from a direc-
tion thats very different from your sailing wind bull Cross-current - If you have a strong current that is not aligned with the wind it often creates
waves that arent square to the wind When you first start sailing in your race area check to see if the waves are the same on each
tack If not make the appropriate sail trim adjustments For example you will have to make your sailsfuller and more twisted on the bumpier tack (which goes more directly into the waves) On the other(smoother) tack you may be able to trim your sails much flatter and tighter You can point higher onthis tack too and keep your weight a little farther forward
There are also strategic implications of wave asymmetry For example if port tack is smootherit might mean the wind has shifted to the right When wave asymmetry is caused by a persistentwindshift its better to sail the smoother tack first since that will take you in the direction where thewind is shifting
Motorboat waves It would be hard to run most sailboat raceswithout motorboats but it sure would be nice ifwe could run them without motorboat wakesUnfortunately waves from motorboats are afact of life in most racing venues and the goodsailors simply figure out how to handle them
Motorboat waves differ from wind gener-ated waves in several important ways They areoften steeper and closer together (and thereforecan potentially hurt your speed much more)Boat waves typically hit you at strange angles(rather than straight with the wind) And fortu-nately they usually come and go pretty quickly
The first rule for maintaining speedthrough waves is to hit them at an angle(instead of head on)This is normally worthdoing even if it requires a significant alteration inthe course you have been sailing In fact it mayeven make sense to tack or jibe so big waveshit your stern rather than your bow
The second rule of thumb for motorboatwaves is to make sure you are going fast justbefore you hit them In other words be proac-tive by bearing off (or heading up on a run)easing (or trimming) your sails moving weightaft etc Dont wait until the first wave hits youbefore making these changes
As I mentioned above you ideally want tohit motorboat waves at an oblique angle andfully powered up But sometimes you cant doboth When the waves are coming at you paral-lel to the wind you have to make a choice Itsusually better to hit waves at an angle even ifyou have to pinch up and lose a little speedThis seems better than bearing off for speedand hitting the waves head on
Waves relative to windIn any wind velocity there is a certain size andshape of waves that you normally see with thatamount of wind In a five-knot breeze forexample the water surface should be almosttotally flat In 18 knots of wind however youexpect to see fairly good-sized waves withwhitecaps
But as every sailor knows you dontalways get normal sea conditions You mightsee bigger or smaller waves than whats typicalfor that wind velocity and this will affect howyou set up and sail your boat
When Im racing I categorize the wavestate in three general ways
1) Normal waves for the wind 2) Morewind than waves and 3) More waves thanwind Heres a closer look at each
More wind than waves This is almost always a fun condition for sailing(unless youre trying to do a windy jibe) Itsgreat (or painting and speed and makes stay-ing in the groove pretty easy
Here are several times when you are like-ly to see this condition
bull A building breezemdashthe breeze is up butthe waves havent had time to build yet
bull An offshore breezemdashthe water is flatteras you get closer to land because there is lessfetch for the waves to build
bull Current flowing with the wind When you have more wind than waves
you can trim your sails flatter and harder thanyou normally would in that breeze You shouldsail most boats as flat as possible and go formaximum height (pointing)
More waves than wind This is almost always a tough condition for sail-ing (unless you are sailing downwind withenough breeze to surf) It makes finding thegroove difficult and it quickly separates thegood sailors from the rest
You will typically see this condition withbull A dying breezemdashthe breeze always
changes faster than the wave state bull An onshore breezemdashwhen the wind is
blowing toward the shore it usually has a longfetch for the waves to build
bull Current flowing against the wind bull Lots of motorboat wakes (the worst) When you have more waves than wind be
careful about trimming too hard or pointing toohigh Err on the side of twist power and footingso you keep going fast

Watch for leeway caused by waves Waves make sailboats go up and down and they also push boats to leeward
The difference between the course you steer and the course you make goodthrough the water is your leeway angle The size of this angle is a result of
many factors such as heel angle wind velocity boat design and waveheight Though leeway for racing boats is usually not more than a few
degrees it will get slightly larger as the waves get bigger The main place where you will notice leeway is in relationto fixed objects like marks Your laylines are wider for
example in waves so you must allow a little extra distance before tacking
One place where its easyto see how much the waves pushyou to leeward is at the starting lineWhen boats attempt to luff in place on the line
they often slide much farther to leeward thanthey think Thats one reason why there
is often a significant line sag when thewaves are big
Go fast upwindin waves
Except for those few times when youare able to ride a motorboat wake
coming from behind waves are neverhelpful when youre racing upwind Itsalways faster to sail in flatter water andthat should be your first rule of thumbon beats
Sailing fast in waves requires ateam effort that involves the drivertrimmers and the rest of the crew Youhave to look ahead for waves that arecoming shift gears and find the bestway to steer through them
There are three basic strategies fordealing with waves upwind You cansail directly through the waves steerover the waves or try to avoid thewaves More likely you will do somecombination of the above
Going straight through waves isusually the best option when the wavesare everywhere and too small to steeraround The bigger and heavier yourboat the more likely you are to takethis approach since its often impossibleor slow to turn your rudder for individ-ual waves
This is not a great option for biggerwaves but sometimes it is your onlychoice (eg when all the waves are bigand steep) In that case try to keep the
boat going a little faster than usual upthe beat The most costly mistake is tobe too slow when you hit a bad wave
Anticipation is important The keyto maintaining speed through badwaves is to shift gears before you get tothem That means you need enoughwarning to power up your sail planbefore the bow digs into the first wave
Steering over the waves is a goodidea when they are larger and spacedfarther apart and when going straightthrough them is slow The smaller andlighter your boat the more effectivethis is
The basic technique for sailingover waves is to head up on the frontside and bear off the back side In other
30 Visit Northern Breezes Online wwwsailingbreezescom - JuneJuly 2010
words luff toward the wind a little asyou go up the wave and then bear offaway from the wind as you go down theback side The steeper the wave and thefaster your speed over the waves themore sharply you will have to turn yourhelm and your boat
In boats that are light enough to beaffected by the positioning of crewweight combine the steering with arotational movement of your bodiesLean aft (and maybe in a little) as yougo up the wave Then lean out and for-ward as you go over the top and downthe back side
Avoiding waves is always the pre-ferred option This works well whenyou have identifiable areas of badwaves such as boat wakes or sets ofespecially large steep waves Sinceyou can never avoid all waves youmust use this in concert with otherways to sail through waves but thisstrategy should always be a part of yourupwind plan
The techniques that work best inwaves are often subtle enough that younever know how well they are workinguntil you measure your performanceagainst nearby boats So test your wavestrategy before the start and continue toevaluate it during the race If youre notfast change something and try again
Put your weight in the right places One of the reasons why waves make a boat gomore slowly is because they cause it to hobby-horse which disrupts the air flow around itssails and the water flow around its foils This isespecially harmful in lighter air
The main goal of positioning your weightin waves therefore should be to reduce hobby-horsing Keep your crew together as much aspossible and near the middle of the boat In lightair the ideal spot is right at the top of the keelsince that is the point around which the sailplan hull and foils pivot When conditions arebumpy and light its not unusual for crews to sitdown below on the cabin sole (in bigger boats)or to crouch down inside the cockpit (one-designs)This reduces the range of motion ofthe mast and keelcenterboard
In heavy air the crew cant be inside theboat of course Instead they should sit tightlytogether like the crew on the boat above Thefore-and-aft position of their weight depends onthe boat wind strength and wave shapeGenerally the crew should be at least slightlyfarther aft when its rough (than when its flatwith the same wind velocity) to keep the bowfrom plowing into waves
If youre racing upwind in waves and youthink your weight is positioned perfectly but youarent going fast try moving your crew a littlefarther apart Sometimes the boat doesnt clickwith the natural frequency of the wavesmdashbutdifferent crew spacing may improve this har-mony (and therefore your speed)
These waves are unusually large uniform and rounded on top so its not necessary tosteer around them very much The ideal course would be a gradual slight arc to windwardon the approaching face of the wave followed by a similar bearing off down the back side
How much to steer in wavesWhen youre sailing upwind waves will
always slow you down so you should avoidthem as much as possible (see below)However when you turn your rudder to steeraround waves the drag you create will alsomake you go slower Therefore you are alwayssearching for the optimal tradeoff betweenusing a lot of rudder and missing waves versususing less rudder and hitting waves
The only true way to judge whether youare doing a good (fast) job of this is by com-paring your performance to that of a nearbyboat Thats why its critical when you havewaves to train with another boat if possible andto tune up with a competitor before every raceWhile you are doing this try different steeringtechniques to see what is fastest in the unique
conditions that you have on any dayThe last thing you
want to do in awavy race is
to be look-ing for
the groove as you come off the starting line Several factors influence the tradeoff of
how aggressively you should steer (ie howquickly and how far you should turn the rud-der) Here are two important considerations
bull Size and shape of the waves - Are thewaves big small rounded or crested Howsteep and close together are they You donthave to steer much in small waves or even bigswells but medium-size waves can present atough challenge especially when theyre steepandor close together
bull Characteristics of your boat - Is yourboat large or small (relative to the waves) lightor heavy Does it turn easily Does it have anarrow bow that cuts easily through the wavesor a fat bow that slams into waves All thesefactors affect the tradeoff of hitting a wave ver-sus turning to miss it
One thing thats true for all boats andwaves is that when you turn the boat its bestto do this with as little rudder as possibleReduce drag by steering with sail trim and bodyweight For example use windward helm toallow the boat to carve its own turn to windwardon the front of the wave Then at the top of thewave hike out hard and ease the mainsheet ortraveler to help bear off down the back side Ifyou can turn the boat without so much dragthen the tradeoff moves in the direction of steer-ing to miss more waves

Afew years ago I heard the call ofthe sea again I spent the first eight
years of my adult life in and aroundnuclear submarines in Virginia andHawaii and fell in love with the oceanI enjoyed many things about sub-marines but concluded that sailing ontop of the water was much more enjoy-able than being below the surfaceAmong other things sunsets observedthrough a periscope were no match forthose experienced from the deck of asmall boat As much as I enjoyed sea-side living Midwestern roots and alovely St Paul girl led me to Minnesotain 1995 Kids and careers dominatedthe next thirteen years We owned a fewboats sailed the city lakes inMinneapolis and chartered once a sum-mer on Lake Superior Recently Idropped out of the rat race to stay homewith my daughters and decided to dosomething fun before it was too late(see ldquoSo You Want to Be a SailingInstructorrdquo Northern BreezesOctNovDec 2008) I began teachingAmerican Sailing Association (ASA)Basic Keelboat classes for NorthernBreezes Sailing School in the summerand Coastal Navigation and MarineWeather in the winter in addition toworking part time in the school office
I enjoyed teaching and learning theropes of the sailing business Familyschool and work kept us in Minneapolisdespite the short season The sea wascalling but there were always other pri-orities Lake Superior became a willingsurrogate for the salt water that Icraved The open water occasionalrough conditions and terrific cruisingonly a few hours drive from home keptme satisfied As my interest experienceand confidence in sailing instructiongrew I knew it was time to move up theladder In the ASANorthern Breezeshierarchy that meant teaching BasicCoastal Cruising and BareboatChartering onboard the schoolrsquos live-aboard yachts in Bayfield Wisconsin
But there was one major hurdle Toteach on Lake Superior (or any of theGreat Lakes or oceans) you need to belicensed by the US Coast GuardFurther motivation to advance was theopportunity to break into the instructorranks for Northern Breezesrsquo classes inthe British Virgin Islands I can think offew better jobs than getting paid to sailin the Caribbean in the winter I wasdetermined to succeed and thought thatit couldnrsquot be that hard to get a licenseespecially for an ex-Navy guy Iresearched the requirements andlearned that it wouldnrsquot be as easy as Ithought But I did it Herersquos how
Let me publicly state here that mywife Kathleen is a keeper She wasamazingly supportive and knew howmuch I loved teaching sailing despite
the belief of many that it is a ldquoplayrdquo jobI also need to thank my daughtersDanielle and Amy who put up with anabsentee father for much of last sum-mer while I taught on the evenings andweekends and logged hours in goodweather and bad
The first decision was what type ofCoast Guard license to get The lowest-level license required to teach on theGreat Lakes is an Operator ofUninspected Passenger Vessels(OUPV) which restricts you to six pay-ing passengers and vessels smaller than100 gross tons This license is usuallyreferred to as a ldquoSix-Packrdquo a term Irsquomtold the Coast Guard dislikes To carrymore than six passengers or to operateinspected vessels (usually larger boatslike ferries tugs and tour boats) you

need a Masterrsquos license which carry atonnage limit typically 25 50 100 or200 gross tons Licenses are furthersubdivided by geography such asInland (lakes and rivers) Great Lakesand Near Coastal waters (up to 100nautical miles offshore) For any levelof license I would need to submit thefollowing items (details can be found atwwwuscgmil) bull Signed application (Coast Guard
form 719B)
bull Conviction statement and writtendisclosure of felonies and drugarrests
bull Three letters of recommendation
bull Physical examination (Form 719K)

bull Merchant Mariner Oath signedand notarized
bull Pass a series of written examina-tions
bull Evidence of appropriate sea serv-ice (Form 719S)
bull $145 Evaluation and Issuance Fee(payable at wwwpaygov)
The list of requirements lookeddaunting although none were too diffi-cult taken individually Like so manytasks it was just a matter of time andmoney What I wasnrsquot expecting wasthat the most obvious prerequisite-boat-ing experience-would end up being thebottleneck
The minimum experience neededfor an OUPV (Six-Pack) or Master
Inland was 360 days on the water sinceage 15 with 90 of those days in the pastthree years For a Great Lakes endorse-ment 90 days had to be on thosewaters A ldquodayrdquo is a minimum of fourhours underway (not at anchor or at thedock) and you cannot claim multiplefour-hour ldquodaysrdquo in any one calendarday No problem I thought I didnrsquotgrow up in a boating family but withalmost a decade in the Navy and yearsof day sailing experience it was just amatter of filling out the forms WrongThere were a couple of catches Thefirst was the phrase ldquoappropriate seaservicerdquo Appropriate meant similarlysized vessels to what I wanted thelicense for in my case teaching on 30-40 foot sailing yachts Nuclear sub-marines are small by warship standardsbut at nearly 7000 tons they are muchtoo large to be considered similar to a

10-ton sailboat Conversely our 16-foot J-scow was unballasted and hadonly a paddle for auxiliary power Toosmall Catch number two was the CoastGuardrsquos bias for sea service on federalwaters The logic here was that youwere getting a license to operate onwaters under federal authority so thatrsquoswhere your sea time should be Mycharter experience on Lake Superiorcounted as did my two seasons owninglarger boats on Lake Pepin and the StCroix River There was also some ridetime on OPBs (Other Peoplersquos Boats)but in the end I could only come upwith about half of the necessary 360days and was frustrated that the major-ity of my experience did not qualify Toclaim sea time on your own vessel(s)you must submit a Coast Guard Form719S plus proof of ownership such astitle bill-of-sale or insurance docu-ments To claim time on OPBs youneed to get the ownerrsquos signature on theform Sea service documentation isessentially on the honor system sincethe Coast Guard doesnrsquot have the
resources to audit everyonersquos claimedexperience The temptation to fudge thenumbers was strong and Irsquom sure ithappens but I decided to take the highroad In hindsight cheating would haverobbed me of some wonderful newadventures and friendships and Irsquomglad I did it the right way
So I got busy sailing My plan wasto log 180 days on the water over twoyears Ninety days in 2008 and 100 in2009 pretty ambitious for the shortnorthern sailing season I taught class-es chartered and sailed on OPBs I vol-unteered for boat deliveries traveled toFlorida in the winter took advancedsailing classes signed up for grouptrips and basically agreed to go any-where with anybody to get out on thewater I sailed new cruising groundsvisited new harbors sailed after darkdid overnight passages and met lots ofnew people And I got plenty of single-handed experience on my own twoboats which was useful as an instructorfor when (not if) you have to take overfrom students The amount of new
experience and confidence I gained wasbreathtaking I often sailed in marginalconditions that probably would havekept me ashore if I hadnrsquot needed thesea time Few of us enjoy sailing insnotty weather but thatrsquos where the realskills are earned Of course therersquos a

fine line between courage and foolhar-diness but that judgment comes fromexperience and education and I wasgetting plenty of both The reality isthat I am a much better sailor andinstructor for having followed the rulesPlus I had so much fun that I kept onsailing even after hitting the magicnumber of 360 and ended up with fivedays of overkill
In the off season I bought a studyguide and hit the books Candidateshave to pass written tests on Rules ofthe Road General NavigationCharting Deck Seamanship and SafetyHere my Navy experience was veryuseful as Uncle Sam had taught me alot of the material when I was trainingfor the submarine fleet Navigation andcharting hadnrsquot changed much since Ilearned them in the 1980s and much ofthe firefighting safety and deck sea-manship topics were also reviewAdditionally my ASA courses rein-forced some of the material includingthe Rules of the Road which required apassing score of 90 for all levels oflicenses I had originally planned tostudy on my own then I learned that Iwould have to travel to one of the CoastGuardrsquos 17 Regional ExaminationCenters (RECs) to take the tests The
nearest RECs to my Minneapolis homewere St Louis Missouri and ToledoOhio The other option was to take theexams at an authorized school and therewere a couple near the Twin Cities
So there I was in April of 2009 lis-tening to Captain Ted Gephart ownerof Superior Marine Training Therewere 15 students in the class mostlypower boaters from Minnesota andWisconsin although three of us weresailors and one student had traveledfrom Missouri Ted plowed through thehuge volume of material in the 60-hourclass with energy and humor Sometopics were dry and tedious such as theCode of Federal Regulations whileothers like marine weather were moreinteresting We covered Rules of theRoad every day until we could justabout recite the book Hands-ondemonstrations on life rafts and riggingblocks and tackles were useful andthere was plenty of charting practice tobreak up the textbook lessons Becausethe sea time for an OUPV and InlandMasters license were the same I decid-ed to upgrade Superior Marine offeredthe Masterrsquos course for an additionalfee and three more days of classesCaptain Ted also incorporated theAuxiliary Sail and Assistance Towing
material and exams into the Masterscourse so I got those endorsements tooHe even arranged for on-site drug test-ing and medical exams for those thatneeded them Tuition also includedindividual consultation on the applica-tion process supported by Tedrsquos 20-plus years of experience trainingprofessional mariners
I was slowly checking things offmy list A new brainchild of bureaucra-cy is the Department of HomelandSecurityrsquos Transportation WorkerIdentification Credential (TWIC)Originally conceived to control accessto secure areas of commercial ports itis now required for all licensed mer-chant mariners including Great Lakessailing instructors The TWIC is aphoto ID card with a chip containingbiometric and personal information Itrsquosimpressive and official-looking but itcost me $145 and a couple of trips to aRoseville Minnesota office park I alsoneeded to take an oath and get it nota-rized Three letters of recommendationwere required for new applicants frompeople (preferably not relatives) whocan attest to onersquos character and suit-ability for the duties of Captain orMaster Irsquom happy to say that it wasnrsquottoo hard to find three friends whothought I would make a good captain(Thanks Julia Brian and Thom)
When the sailboats were hauled outin October it was time to assemble myapplication and send it in I applied fora 50-ton Masterrsquos license I had origi-nally wanted a 100-ton ticket but youneeded 90 days of service on vessels of51 gross tons or higher or 180 days onvessels over 334 tons according to therules For a 50-ton license only oneday on a vessel larger than five tons isrequired Interestingly a Coast Guardton is based on interior volume not dis-placement

One week $60 and another urine sample later I faxed thenew test results (yes they were negative) to my examiner apleasant lady in West Virginia who was very helpful andunderstanding The NMC sent me regular updates via e-mailand had a website where I could log in anytime and check thestatus of my application My phone calls got returned and Ihad a very positive experience dealing with the Coast GuardBy mid-December I had my license It looks like a red pass-port complete with holographic images embedded in thepages and a clear pocket in the back for my TWIC card
The whole process cost me several thousand dollars andmany spring summer and fall days away from my familyWould I do it all over again Absolutely It opened up newteaching opportunities previously forbidden by law raised mypay grade separated me from other ASA instructors and gaveme a cool title Sure the designation feeds the ego but thereal value for me was the experience gained in accumulatingthe sea time I thought I already had I am a much more confi-dent and capable sailor and instructor for having met all of therequirements as written I suppose thatrsquos why theyrsquorerequired Officially I am a 50-ton Inland and Great Lakes

Clean Vessel Act GrantsHelp Marinas Keep WatersClean and Healthy
US Fish and Wildlife Service actingDirector Rowan Gould announced
on May 7 2010 $128 million will beawarded to 31 states under the CleanVessel Act grant program in 2010 Thegrants will be used to fund the construc-tion and installation of sewage pumpoutfacilities and floating restrooms to pur-chase pumpout boats and to provide edu-cational programs for recreationalboaters as they have been since the pro-grams inception in the early 1990s
Clean Vessel Act funding supportsthe construction of facilities in communi-ties that depend largely on recreationalboating for their economy - and dependon clean water for their health and thehealth of their environment said GouldIn a time of economic uncertainty thesegrants also provide an immediate invest-ment in construction jobs and infrastruc-ture that provide lasting value for recre-ational boaters state agencies and localcommunities
To date the program - administeredby the US Fish and Wildlife Service -has awarded more than $172 million tostates to install thousands of sewagepumpout stations In addition manystates now rely upon mobile sewagepumpout boats to make the sewage col-lection process more efficient and con-venient for boaters A number of statesalso have begun installing floating rest-rooms and pumpout stations in high useareas of lakes and coastal waters
Funding for the CVA program comesfrom the Sport Fishing and Boating TrustFund formerly known as the Aquatic

Often I chat withboaters regarding a
wide range of boat-smarttopics fog being one Thattopic came to the forefrontafter a fog bank shroudedthe waters off Manisteeduring the Salmon Splash333 fishing TournamentThe captains I spoke withemphasized safety and situ-ational awareness whenoperating in fog in otherwords boat smart
Manisteersquos 2009Salmon Splash 333 Best ofthe Best boasted a $10000first-place price Needlessto say fog was not goingto deter anglers from pur-suing the grand prize evenit meant running in fogwhich they did on the sec-ond day of the tournament In all therewere 58 boats in the tournament
With that many boats picking theirway through the fog in close proximitythe chance for collisions seemed immi-nent yet none occurred or at least nonethat were reported Several captains Ispoke with told me they lost fishinglines severed when boats crossed theirstern ldquoBut that comes with the territo-ryrdquo said one captain referring to thefog especially when fishing linesextend well off the stern
What impressed me about theanglers I spoke with and the tourna-ment guidelines is that safety ruledMatthew Salerno and his brother Tonywho won the $10000 prize aboard theirboat Living a Dream told me they trollat about 25 knots with a forward look-out at all times Safety equipment isreadily at hand and the crew is familiarwith its use
Communicating with other tourna-ment boats is prohibited whether it bea cell phone or marine radio unless inthe event of an emergency These
anglers were literally on their own andalone in the fog ldquoWe kept our eyes onthe radar at all timesrdquo said MattSalerno Not all the boats howevercarried radar but still kept safe by fol-lowing a basic navigation rule
Rule 6 of the Navigation Rulesstates ldquoEvery vessel shall at all timesproceed at a safe speed so that she cantake proper and effective action toavoid collision and be stopped within adistance appropriate to the prevailingcircumstances and conditionsrdquo
One of the conditions addressed inthe rules is state of visibilityApparently these anglers some ofwhom were Coast Guard licensed cap-tains understood the rules and so com-plied However not all the boaters onthe lake that day
were part of the tournament norexercising boat smarts one such boaternearly slammed into one of the tourna-ment boats
ldquoWe were fishing a mile off BigPoint Sable in a hundred and thirty feetof water when out of the fog emerged
this 35-foot powerboatheading right at us pullinga dingy off its sternrdquo saidthe captain of the tourna-ment boat Katch-Me ldquoWewaved our arms andhollered as he bore downon usrdquo The captain figuresthe boat was travelingabout 15 knots
One of the crewmanaboard believes the boatoperator was not expect-ing to encounter in fog afleet of boats on LakeMichigan on a Thursdaymorning Thursday morn-ing or Saturday afternoonhas little to do with main-taining a proper lookoutand using all availablemeans to avoid a collisionin fog Also towing a
dinghy behind a boat in fog is not toobright Another boat could run over thetow line and foul its prop(s) or theboater pulling it might snag the towingline while backing down to avoid a col-lision
What I find disturbing about thisincident is that the tournament boaterswere using all means available toassure not only their own safety butthat of their fellow anglers Then alongcomes a boater who seems oblivious tothe safety of others or worse yet wasjust boat stupid
I suspect it is the latter untilboaters are required to boat smart thosethat do must keep a very sharp lookoutfog or not

Waves are like snowflakes No twoare exactly the same and therefore
you have to treat each one as a unique anddifferent entity The same is true in thebig picturemdashevery sequence of wavesyou face during a race will be at least alittle different from anything you haveever seen before So you must continual-ly work at finding the optimal paththrough the waves you face
When you get to the race course it ishelpful to ask a few questions to under-stand the waves and how they will affectyour race
bull Are the waves perpendicular to thewind direction If the waves are flowingin the same direction as the wind thenyou will generally have symmetry fromtack to tack But If not you will need toset things up differently on each tack
bull Are you going faster or slower thanthe waves downwind Figure out if thewaves are helping you (ie theyre goingfaster than you) or hurting you (yourefaster than them) Also do surfing condi-tions exist This is key to knowing if youare allowed to pump your sails Here arefurther explanations of some of theseconcepts

Key wave conceptsby David Dellenbaugh
bull Whats causing the waves The sizeand shape of waves will depend onwhether they are caused by wind currentor boats You could have smooth swellsfrom a storm far away steep chop when astrong breeze blows over shallow wateror when current flows against the windor random chop from motorboats in aspectator fleet
bull Are the waves the normal size thatyou would expect for the wind velocityFor various reasons the waves might belarger or smaller than normal (see below)This could have huge implications forsteering trimming and sailing the boat
Check for wave asymmetry When youre racing upwind are the waves equal on each tack They are usually similar on port andstarboard tacks because waves are created by the wind and therefore they come from that directionHowever this is not always the case Sometimes the waves are not perpendicular to the wind andthis can have a huge impact on the way you sail your boat
There are several reasons why waves may be different from tack to tack bull Windshifts - If the waves are at first aligned with the wind any change in wind direction will
make them unaligned (at least for a while)This is very common bull Presence of nearby land - If there is land to windward of the course it could affect how waves
move across the racing area bull A distant storm -When youre racing on the ocean there are often swells coming from a direc-
tion thats very different from your sailing wind bull Cross-current - If you have a strong current that is not aligned with the wind it often creates
waves that arent square to the wind When you first start sailing in your race area check to see if the waves are the same on each
tack If not make the appropriate sail trim adjustments For example you will have to make your sailsfuller and more twisted on the bumpier tack (which goes more directly into the waves) On the other(smoother) tack you may be able to trim your sails much flatter and tighter You can point higher onthis tack too and keep your weight a little farther forward
There are also strategic implications of wave asymmetry For example if port tack is smootherit might mean the wind has shifted to the right When wave asymmetry is caused by a persistentwindshift its better to sail the smoother tack first since that will take you in the direction where thewind is shifting
Motorboat waves It would be hard to run most sailboat raceswithout motorboats but it sure would be nice ifwe could run them without motorboat wakesUnfortunately waves from motorboats are afact of life in most racing venues and the goodsailors simply figure out how to handle them
Motorboat waves differ from wind gener-ated waves in several important ways They areoften steeper and closer together (and thereforecan potentially hurt your speed much more)Boat waves typically hit you at strange angles(rather than straight with the wind) And fortu-nately they usually come and go pretty quickly
The first rule for maintaining speedthrough waves is to hit them at an angle(instead of head on)This is normally worthdoing even if it requires a significant alteration inthe course you have been sailing In fact it mayeven make sense to tack or jibe so big waveshit your stern rather than your bow
The second rule of thumb for motorboatwaves is to make sure you are going fast justbefore you hit them In other words be proac-tive by bearing off (or heading up on a run)easing (or trimming) your sails moving weightaft etc Dont wait until the first wave hits youbefore making these changes
As I mentioned above you ideally want tohit motorboat waves at an oblique angle andfully powered up But sometimes you cant doboth When the waves are coming at you paral-lel to the wind you have to make a choice Itsusually better to hit waves at an angle even ifyou have to pinch up and lose a little speedThis seems better than bearing off for speedand hitting the waves head on
Waves relative to windIn any wind velocity there is a certain size andshape of waves that you normally see with thatamount of wind In a five-knot breeze forexample the water surface should be almosttotally flat In 18 knots of wind however youexpect to see fairly good-sized waves withwhitecaps
But as every sailor knows you dontalways get normal sea conditions You mightsee bigger or smaller waves than whats typicalfor that wind velocity and this will affect howyou set up and sail your boat
When Im racing I categorize the wavestate in three general ways
1) Normal waves for the wind 2) Morewind than waves and 3) More waves thanwind Heres a closer look at each
More wind than waves This is almost always a fun condition for sailing(unless youre trying to do a windy jibe) Itsgreat (or painting and speed and makes stay-ing in the groove pretty easy
Here are several times when you are like-ly to see this condition
bull A building breezemdashthe breeze is up butthe waves havent had time to build yet
bull An offshore breezemdashthe water is flatteras you get closer to land because there is lessfetch for the waves to build
bull Current flowing with the wind When you have more wind than waves
you can trim your sails flatter and harder thanyou normally would in that breeze You shouldsail most boats as flat as possible and go formaximum height (pointing)
More waves than wind This is almost always a tough condition for sail-ing (unless you are sailing downwind withenough breeze to surf) It makes finding thegroove difficult and it quickly separates thegood sailors from the rest
You will typically see this condition withbull A dying breezemdashthe breeze always
changes faster than the wave state bull An onshore breezemdashwhen the wind is
blowing toward the shore it usually has a longfetch for the waves to build
bull Current flowing against the wind bull Lots of motorboat wakes (the worst) When you have more waves than wind be
careful about trimming too hard or pointing toohigh Err on the side of twist power and footingso you keep going fast

Watch for leeway caused by waves Waves make sailboats go up and down and they also push boats to leeward
The difference between the course you steer and the course you make goodthrough the water is your leeway angle The size of this angle is a result of
many factors such as heel angle wind velocity boat design and waveheight Though leeway for racing boats is usually not more than a few
degrees it will get slightly larger as the waves get bigger The main place where you will notice leeway is in relationto fixed objects like marks Your laylines are wider for
example in waves so you must allow a little extra distance before tacking
One place where its easyto see how much the waves pushyou to leeward is at the starting lineWhen boats attempt to luff in place on the line
they often slide much farther to leeward thanthey think Thats one reason why there
is often a significant line sag when thewaves are big
Go fast upwindin waves
Except for those few times when youare able to ride a motorboat wake
coming from behind waves are neverhelpful when youre racing upwind Itsalways faster to sail in flatter water andthat should be your first rule of thumbon beats
Sailing fast in waves requires ateam effort that involves the drivertrimmers and the rest of the crew Youhave to look ahead for waves that arecoming shift gears and find the bestway to steer through them
There are three basic strategies fordealing with waves upwind You cansail directly through the waves steerover the waves or try to avoid thewaves More likely you will do somecombination of the above
Going straight through waves isusually the best option when the wavesare everywhere and too small to steeraround The bigger and heavier yourboat the more likely you are to takethis approach since its often impossibleor slow to turn your rudder for individ-ual waves
This is not a great option for biggerwaves but sometimes it is your onlychoice (eg when all the waves are bigand steep) In that case try to keep the
boat going a little faster than usual upthe beat The most costly mistake is tobe too slow when you hit a bad wave
Anticipation is important The keyto maintaining speed through badwaves is to shift gears before you get tothem That means you need enoughwarning to power up your sail planbefore the bow digs into the first wave
Steering over the waves is a goodidea when they are larger and spacedfarther apart and when going straightthrough them is slow The smaller andlighter your boat the more effectivethis is
The basic technique for sailingover waves is to head up on the frontside and bear off the back side In other
30 Visit Northern Breezes Online wwwsailingbreezescom - JuneJuly 2010
words luff toward the wind a little asyou go up the wave and then bear offaway from the wind as you go down theback side The steeper the wave and thefaster your speed over the waves themore sharply you will have to turn yourhelm and your boat
In boats that are light enough to beaffected by the positioning of crewweight combine the steering with arotational movement of your bodiesLean aft (and maybe in a little) as yougo up the wave Then lean out and for-ward as you go over the top and downthe back side
Avoiding waves is always the pre-ferred option This works well whenyou have identifiable areas of badwaves such as boat wakes or sets ofespecially large steep waves Sinceyou can never avoid all waves youmust use this in concert with otherways to sail through waves but thisstrategy should always be a part of yourupwind plan
The techniques that work best inwaves are often subtle enough that younever know how well they are workinguntil you measure your performanceagainst nearby boats So test your wavestrategy before the start and continue toevaluate it during the race If youre notfast change something and try again
Put your weight in the right places One of the reasons why waves make a boat gomore slowly is because they cause it to hobby-horse which disrupts the air flow around itssails and the water flow around its foils This isespecially harmful in lighter air
The main goal of positioning your weightin waves therefore should be to reduce hobby-horsing Keep your crew together as much aspossible and near the middle of the boat In lightair the ideal spot is right at the top of the keelsince that is the point around which the sailplan hull and foils pivot When conditions arebumpy and light its not unusual for crews to sitdown below on the cabin sole (in bigger boats)or to crouch down inside the cockpit (one-designs)This reduces the range of motion ofthe mast and keelcenterboard
In heavy air the crew cant be inside theboat of course Instead they should sit tightlytogether like the crew on the boat above Thefore-and-aft position of their weight depends onthe boat wind strength and wave shapeGenerally the crew should be at least slightlyfarther aft when its rough (than when its flatwith the same wind velocity) to keep the bowfrom plowing into waves
If youre racing upwind in waves and youthink your weight is positioned perfectly but youarent going fast try moving your crew a littlefarther apart Sometimes the boat doesnt clickwith the natural frequency of the wavesmdashbutdifferent crew spacing may improve this har-mony (and therefore your speed)
These waves are unusually large uniform and rounded on top so its not necessary tosteer around them very much The ideal course would be a gradual slight arc to windwardon the approaching face of the wave followed by a similar bearing off down the back side
How much to steer in wavesWhen youre sailing upwind waves will
always slow you down so you should avoidthem as much as possible (see below)However when you turn your rudder to steeraround waves the drag you create will alsomake you go slower Therefore you are alwayssearching for the optimal tradeoff betweenusing a lot of rudder and missing waves versususing less rudder and hitting waves
The only true way to judge whether youare doing a good (fast) job of this is by com-paring your performance to that of a nearbyboat Thats why its critical when you havewaves to train with another boat if possible andto tune up with a competitor before every raceWhile you are doing this try different steeringtechniques to see what is fastest in the unique
conditions that you have on any dayThe last thing you
want to do in awavy race is
to be look-ing for
the groove as you come off the starting line Several factors influence the tradeoff of
how aggressively you should steer (ie howquickly and how far you should turn the rud-der) Here are two important considerations
bull Size and shape of the waves - Are thewaves big small rounded or crested Howsteep and close together are they You donthave to steer much in small waves or even bigswells but medium-size waves can present atough challenge especially when theyre steepandor close together
bull Characteristics of your boat - Is yourboat large or small (relative to the waves) lightor heavy Does it turn easily Does it have anarrow bow that cuts easily through the wavesor a fat bow that slams into waves All thesefactors affect the tradeoff of hitting a wave ver-sus turning to miss it
One thing thats true for all boats andwaves is that when you turn the boat its bestto do this with as little rudder as possibleReduce drag by steering with sail trim and bodyweight For example use windward helm toallow the boat to carve its own turn to windwardon the front of the wave Then at the top of thewave hike out hard and ease the mainsheet ortraveler to help bear off down the back side Ifyou can turn the boat without so much dragthen the tradeoff moves in the direction of steer-ing to miss more waves

Afew years ago I heard the call ofthe sea again I spent the first eight
years of my adult life in and aroundnuclear submarines in Virginia andHawaii and fell in love with the oceanI enjoyed many things about sub-marines but concluded that sailing ontop of the water was much more enjoy-able than being below the surfaceAmong other things sunsets observedthrough a periscope were no match forthose experienced from the deck of asmall boat As much as I enjoyed sea-side living Midwestern roots and alovely St Paul girl led me to Minnesotain 1995 Kids and careers dominatedthe next thirteen years We owned a fewboats sailed the city lakes inMinneapolis and chartered once a sum-mer on Lake Superior Recently Idropped out of the rat race to stay homewith my daughters and decided to dosomething fun before it was too late(see ldquoSo You Want to Be a SailingInstructorrdquo Northern BreezesOctNovDec 2008) I began teachingAmerican Sailing Association (ASA)Basic Keelboat classes for NorthernBreezes Sailing School in the summerand Coastal Navigation and MarineWeather in the winter in addition toworking part time in the school office
I enjoyed teaching and learning theropes of the sailing business Familyschool and work kept us in Minneapolisdespite the short season The sea wascalling but there were always other pri-orities Lake Superior became a willingsurrogate for the salt water that Icraved The open water occasionalrough conditions and terrific cruisingonly a few hours drive from home keptme satisfied As my interest experienceand confidence in sailing instructiongrew I knew it was time to move up theladder In the ASANorthern Breezeshierarchy that meant teaching BasicCoastal Cruising and BareboatChartering onboard the schoolrsquos live-aboard yachts in Bayfield Wisconsin
But there was one major hurdle Toteach on Lake Superior (or any of theGreat Lakes or oceans) you need to belicensed by the US Coast GuardFurther motivation to advance was theopportunity to break into the instructorranks for Northern Breezesrsquo classes inthe British Virgin Islands I can think offew better jobs than getting paid to sailin the Caribbean in the winter I wasdetermined to succeed and thought thatit couldnrsquot be that hard to get a licenseespecially for an ex-Navy guy Iresearched the requirements andlearned that it wouldnrsquot be as easy as Ithought But I did it Herersquos how
Let me publicly state here that mywife Kathleen is a keeper She wasamazingly supportive and knew howmuch I loved teaching sailing despite
the belief of many that it is a ldquoplayrdquo jobI also need to thank my daughtersDanielle and Amy who put up with anabsentee father for much of last sum-mer while I taught on the evenings andweekends and logged hours in goodweather and bad
The first decision was what type ofCoast Guard license to get The lowest-level license required to teach on theGreat Lakes is an Operator ofUninspected Passenger Vessels(OUPV) which restricts you to six pay-ing passengers and vessels smaller than100 gross tons This license is usuallyreferred to as a ldquoSix-Packrdquo a term Irsquomtold the Coast Guard dislikes To carrymore than six passengers or to operateinspected vessels (usually larger boatslike ferries tugs and tour boats) you

need a Masterrsquos license which carry atonnage limit typically 25 50 100 or200 gross tons Licenses are furthersubdivided by geography such asInland (lakes and rivers) Great Lakesand Near Coastal waters (up to 100nautical miles offshore) For any levelof license I would need to submit thefollowing items (details can be found atwwwuscgmil) bull Signed application (Coast Guard
form 719B)
bull Conviction statement and writtendisclosure of felonies and drugarrests
bull Three letters of recommendation
bull Physical examination (Form 719K)

bull Documented CPR and First Aidtraining

bull Merchant Mariner Oath signedand notarized
bull Pass a series of written examina-tions
bull Evidence of appropriate sea serv-ice (Form 719S)
bull $145 Evaluation and Issuance Fee(payable at wwwpaygov)
The list of requirements lookeddaunting although none were too diffi-cult taken individually Like so manytasks it was just a matter of time andmoney What I wasnrsquot expecting wasthat the most obvious prerequisite-boat-ing experience-would end up being thebottleneck
The minimum experience neededfor an OUPV (Six-Pack) or Master
Inland was 360 days on the water sinceage 15 with 90 of those days in the pastthree years For a Great Lakes endorse-ment 90 days had to be on thosewaters A ldquodayrdquo is a minimum of fourhours underway (not at anchor or at thedock) and you cannot claim multiplefour-hour ldquodaysrdquo in any one calendarday No problem I thought I didnrsquotgrow up in a boating family but withalmost a decade in the Navy and yearsof day sailing experience it was just amatter of filling out the forms WrongThere were a couple of catches Thefirst was the phrase ldquoappropriate seaservicerdquo Appropriate meant similarlysized vessels to what I wanted thelicense for in my case teaching on 30-40 foot sailing yachts Nuclear sub-marines are small by warship standardsbut at nearly 7000 tons they are muchtoo large to be considered similar to a

10-ton sailboat Conversely our 16-foot J-scow was unballasted and hadonly a paddle for auxiliary power Toosmall Catch number two was the CoastGuardrsquos bias for sea service on federalwaters The logic here was that youwere getting a license to operate onwaters under federal authority so thatrsquoswhere your sea time should be Mycharter experience on Lake Superiorcounted as did my two seasons owninglarger boats on Lake Pepin and the StCroix River There was also some ridetime on OPBs (Other Peoplersquos Boats)but in the end I could only come upwith about half of the necessary 360days and was frustrated that the major-ity of my experience did not qualify Toclaim sea time on your own vessel(s)you must submit a Coast Guard Form719S plus proof of ownership such astitle bill-of-sale or insurance docu-ments To claim time on OPBs youneed to get the ownerrsquos signature on theform Sea service documentation isessentially on the honor system sincethe Coast Guard doesnrsquot have the
resources to audit everyonersquos claimedexperience The temptation to fudge thenumbers was strong and Irsquom sure ithappens but I decided to take the highroad In hindsight cheating would haverobbed me of some wonderful newadventures and friendships and Irsquomglad I did it the right way
So I got busy sailing My plan wasto log 180 days on the water over twoyears Ninety days in 2008 and 100 in2009 pretty ambitious for the shortnorthern sailing season I taught class-es chartered and sailed on OPBs I vol-unteered for boat deliveries traveled toFlorida in the winter took advancedsailing classes signed up for grouptrips and basically agreed to go any-where with anybody to get out on thewater I sailed new cruising groundsvisited new harbors sailed after darkdid overnight passages and met lots ofnew people And I got plenty of single-handed experience on my own twoboats which was useful as an instructorfor when (not if) you have to take overfrom students The amount of new
experience and confidence I gained wasbreathtaking I often sailed in marginalconditions that probably would havekept me ashore if I hadnrsquot needed thesea time Few of us enjoy sailing insnotty weather but thatrsquos where the realskills are earned Of course therersquos a

fine line between courage and foolhar-diness but that judgment comes fromexperience and education and I wasgetting plenty of both The reality isthat I am a much better sailor andinstructor for having followed the rulesPlus I had so much fun that I kept onsailing even after hitting the magicnumber of 360 and ended up with fivedays of overkill
In the off season I bought a studyguide and hit the books Candidateshave to pass written tests on Rules ofthe Road General NavigationCharting Deck Seamanship and SafetyHere my Navy experience was veryuseful as Uncle Sam had taught me alot of the material when I was trainingfor the submarine fleet Navigation andcharting hadnrsquot changed much since Ilearned them in the 1980s and much ofthe firefighting safety and deck sea-manship topics were also reviewAdditionally my ASA courses rein-forced some of the material includingthe Rules of the Road which required apassing score of 90 for all levels oflicenses I had originally planned tostudy on my own then I learned that Iwould have to travel to one of the CoastGuardrsquos 17 Regional ExaminationCenters (RECs) to take the tests The
nearest RECs to my Minneapolis homewere St Louis Missouri and ToledoOhio The other option was to take theexams at an authorized school and therewere a couple near the Twin Cities
So there I was in April of 2009 lis-tening to Captain Ted Gephart ownerof Superior Marine Training Therewere 15 students in the class mostlypower boaters from Minnesota andWisconsin although three of us weresailors and one student had traveledfrom Missouri Ted plowed through thehuge volume of material in the 60-hourclass with energy and humor Sometopics were dry and tedious such as theCode of Federal Regulations whileothers like marine weather were moreinteresting We covered Rules of theRoad every day until we could justabout recite the book Hands-ondemonstrations on life rafts and riggingblocks and tackles were useful andthere was plenty of charting practice tobreak up the textbook lessons Becausethe sea time for an OUPV and InlandMasters license were the same I decid-ed to upgrade Superior Marine offeredthe Masterrsquos course for an additionalfee and three more days of classesCaptain Ted also incorporated theAuxiliary Sail and Assistance Towing
material and exams into the Masterscourse so I got those endorsements tooHe even arranged for on-site drug test-ing and medical exams for those thatneeded them Tuition also includedindividual consultation on the applica-tion process supported by Tedrsquos 20-plus years of experience trainingprofessional mariners
I was slowly checking things offmy list A new brainchild of bureaucra-cy is the Department of HomelandSecurityrsquos Transportation WorkerIdentification Credential (TWIC)Originally conceived to control accessto secure areas of commercial ports itis now required for all licensed mer-chant mariners including Great Lakessailing instructors The TWIC is aphoto ID card with a chip containingbiometric and personal information Itrsquosimpressive and official-looking but itcost me $145 and a couple of trips to aRoseville Minnesota office park I alsoneeded to take an oath and get it nota-rized Three letters of recommendationwere required for new applicants frompeople (preferably not relatives) whocan attest to onersquos character and suit-ability for the duties of Captain orMaster Irsquom happy to say that it wasnrsquottoo hard to find three friends whothought I would make a good captain(Thanks Julia Brian and Thom)
When the sailboats were hauled outin October it was time to assemble myapplication and send it in I applied fora 50-ton Masterrsquos license I had origi-nally wanted a 100-ton ticket but youneeded 90 days of service on vessels of51 gross tons or higher or 180 days onvessels over 334 tons according to therules For a 50-ton license only oneday on a vessel larger than five tons isrequired Interestingly a Coast Guardton is based on interior volume not dis-placement

One week $60 and another urine sample later I faxed thenew test results (yes they were negative) to my examiner apleasant lady in West Virginia who was very helpful andunderstanding The NMC sent me regular updates via e-mailand had a website where I could log in anytime and check thestatus of my application My phone calls got returned and Ihad a very positive experience dealing with the Coast GuardBy mid-December I had my license It looks like a red pass-port complete with holographic images embedded in thepages and a clear pocket in the back for my TWIC card
The whole process cost me several thousand dollars andmany spring summer and fall days away from my familyWould I do it all over again Absolutely It opened up newteaching opportunities previously forbidden by law raised mypay grade separated me from other ASA instructors and gaveme a cool title Sure the designation feeds the ego but thereal value for me was the experience gained in accumulatingthe sea time I thought I already had I am a much more confi-dent and capable sailor and instructor for having met all of therequirements as written I suppose thatrsquos why theyrsquorerequired Officially I am a 50-ton Inland and Great Lakes

Often I chat withboaters regarding a
wide range of boat-smarttopics fog being one Thattopic came to the forefrontafter a fog bank shroudedthe waters off Manisteeduring the Salmon Splash333 fishing TournamentThe captains I spoke withemphasized safety and situ-ational awareness whenoperating in fog in otherwords boat smart
Manisteersquos 2009Salmon Splash 333 Best ofthe Best boasted a $10000first-place price Needlessto say fog was not goingto deter anglers from pur-suing the grand prize evenit meant running in fogwhich they did on the sec-ond day of the tournament In all therewere 58 boats in the tournament
With that many boats picking theirway through the fog in close proximitythe chance for collisions seemed immi-nent yet none occurred or at least nonethat were reported Several captains Ispoke with told me they lost fishinglines severed when boats crossed theirstern ldquoBut that comes with the territo-ryrdquo said one captain referring to thefog especially when fishing linesextend well off the stern
What impressed me about theanglers I spoke with and the tourna-ment guidelines is that safety ruledMatthew Salerno and his brother Tonywho won the $10000 prize aboard theirboat Living a Dream told me they trollat about 25 knots with a forward look-out at all times Safety equipment isreadily at hand and the crew is familiarwith its use
Communicating with other tourna-ment boats is prohibited whether it bea cell phone or marine radio unless inthe event of an emergency These
anglers were literally on their own andalone in the fog ldquoWe kept our eyes onthe radar at all timesrdquo said MattSalerno Not all the boats howevercarried radar but still kept safe by fol-lowing a basic navigation rule
Rule 6 of the Navigation Rulesstates ldquoEvery vessel shall at all timesproceed at a safe speed so that she cantake proper and effective action toavoid collision and be stopped within adistance appropriate to the prevailingcircumstances and conditionsrdquo
One of the conditions addressed inthe rules is state of visibilityApparently these anglers some ofwhom were Coast Guard licensed cap-tains understood the rules and so com-plied However not all the boaters onthe lake that day
were part of the tournament norexercising boat smarts one such boaternearly slammed into one of the tourna-ment boats
ldquoWe were fishing a mile off BigPoint Sable in a hundred and thirty feetof water when out of the fog emerged
this 35-foot powerboatheading right at us pullinga dingy off its sternrdquo saidthe captain of the tourna-ment boat Katch-Me ldquoWewaved our arms andhollered as he bore downon usrdquo The captain figuresthe boat was travelingabout 15 knots
One of the crewmanaboard believes the boatoperator was not expect-ing to encounter in fog afleet of boats on LakeMichigan on a Thursdaymorning Thursday morn-ing or Saturday afternoonhas little to do with main-taining a proper lookoutand using all availablemeans to avoid a collisionin fog Also towing a
dinghy behind a boat in fog is not toobright Another boat could run over thetow line and foul its prop(s) or theboater pulling it might snag the towingline while backing down to avoid a col-lision
What I find disturbing about thisincident is that the tournament boaterswere using all means available toassure not only their own safety butthat of their fellow anglers Then alongcomes a boater who seems oblivious tothe safety of others or worse yet wasjust boat stupid
I suspect it is the latter untilboaters are required to boat smart thosethat do must keep a very sharp lookoutfog or not

Waves are like snowflakes No twoare exactly the same and therefore
you have to treat each one as a unique anddifferent entity The same is true in thebig picturemdashevery sequence of wavesyou face during a race will be at least alittle different from anything you haveever seen before So you must continual-ly work at finding the optimal paththrough the waves you face
When you get to the race course it ishelpful to ask a few questions to under-stand the waves and how they will affectyour race
bull Are the waves perpendicular to thewind direction If the waves are flowingin the same direction as the wind thenyou will generally have symmetry fromtack to tack But If not you will need toset things up differently on each tack
bull Are you going faster or slower thanthe waves downwind Figure out if thewaves are helping you (ie theyre goingfaster than you) or hurting you (yourefaster than them) Also do surfing condi-tions exist This is key to knowing if youare allowed to pump your sails Here arefurther explanations of some of theseconcepts
28 Visit Northern Breezes Online wwwsailingbreezescom - JuneJuly 2010
Key wave conceptsby David Dellenbaugh
bull Whats causing the waves The sizeand shape of waves will depend onwhether they are caused by wind currentor boats You could have smooth swellsfrom a storm far away steep chop when astrong breeze blows over shallow wateror when current flows against the windor random chop from motorboats in aspectator fleet
bull Are the waves the normal size thatyou would expect for the wind velocityFor various reasons the waves might belarger or smaller than normal (see below)This could have huge implications forsteering trimming and sailing the boat
Check for wave asymmetry When youre racing upwind are the waves equal on each tack They are usually similar on port andstarboard tacks because waves are created by the wind and therefore they come from that directionHowever this is not always the case Sometimes the waves are not perpendicular to the wind andthis can have a huge impact on the way you sail your boat
There are several reasons why waves may be different from tack to tack bull Windshifts - If the waves are at first aligned with the wind any change in wind direction will
make them unaligned (at least for a while)This is very common bull Presence of nearby land - If there is land to windward of the course it could affect how waves
move across the racing area bull A distant storm -When youre racing on the ocean there are often swells coming from a direc-
tion thats very different from your sailing wind bull Cross-current - If you have a strong current that is not aligned with the wind it often creates
waves that arent square to the wind When you first start sailing in your race area check to see if the waves are the same on each
tack If not make the appropriate sail trim adjustments For example you will have to make your sailsfuller and more twisted on the bumpier tack (which goes more directly into the waves) On the other(smoother) tack you may be able to trim your sails much flatter and tighter You can point higher onthis tack too and keep your weight a little farther forward
There are also strategic implications of wave asymmetry For example if port tack is smootherit might mean the wind has shifted to the right When wave asymmetry is caused by a persistentwindshift its better to sail the smoother tack first since that will take you in the direction where thewind is shifting
Motorboat waves It would be hard to run most sailboat raceswithout motorboats but it sure would be nice ifwe could run them without motorboat wakesUnfortunately waves from motorboats are afact of life in most racing venues and the goodsailors simply figure out how to handle them
Motorboat waves differ from wind gener-ated waves in several important ways They areoften steeper and closer together (and thereforecan potentially hurt your speed much more)Boat waves typically hit you at strange angles(rather than straight with the wind) And fortu-nately they usually come and go pretty quickly
The first rule for maintaining speedthrough waves is to hit them at an angle(instead of head on)This is normally worthdoing even if it requires a significant alteration inthe course you have been sailing In fact it mayeven make sense to tack or jibe so big waveshit your stern rather than your bow
The second rule of thumb for motorboatwaves is to make sure you are going fast justbefore you hit them In other words be proac-tive by bearing off (or heading up on a run)easing (or trimming) your sails moving weightaft etc Dont wait until the first wave hits youbefore making these changes
As I mentioned above you ideally want tohit motorboat waves at an oblique angle andfully powered up But sometimes you cant doboth When the waves are coming at you paral-lel to the wind you have to make a choice Itsusually better to hit waves at an angle even ifyou have to pinch up and lose a little speedThis seems better than bearing off for speedand hitting the waves head on
Waves relative to windIn any wind velocity there is a certain size andshape of waves that you normally see with thatamount of wind In a five-knot breeze forexample the water surface should be almosttotally flat In 18 knots of wind however youexpect to see fairly good-sized waves withwhitecaps
But as every sailor knows you dontalways get normal sea conditions You mightsee bigger or smaller waves than whats typicalfor that wind velocity and this will affect howyou set up and sail your boat
When Im racing I categorize the wavestate in three general ways
1) Normal waves for the wind 2) Morewind than waves and 3) More waves thanwind Heres a closer look at each
More wind than waves This is almost always a fun condition for sailing(unless youre trying to do a windy jibe) Itsgreat (or painting and speed and makes stay-ing in the groove pretty easy
Here are several times when you are like-ly to see this condition
bull A building breezemdashthe breeze is up butthe waves havent had time to build yet
bull An offshore breezemdashthe water is flatteras you get closer to land because there is lessfetch for the waves to build
bull Current flowing with the wind When you have more wind than waves
you can trim your sails flatter and harder thanyou normally would in that breeze You shouldsail most boats as flat as possible and go formaximum height (pointing)
More waves than wind This is almost always a tough condition for sail-ing (unless you are sailing downwind withenough breeze to surf) It makes finding thegroove difficult and it quickly separates thegood sailors from the rest
You will typically see this condition withbull A dying breezemdashthe breeze always
changes faster than the wave state bull An onshore breezemdashwhen the wind is
blowing toward the shore it usually has a longfetch for the waves to build
bull Current flowing against the wind bull Lots of motorboat wakes (the worst) When you have more waves than wind be

Watch for leeway caused by waves Waves make sailboats go up and down and they also push boats to leeward
The difference between the course you steer and the course you make goodthrough the water is your leeway angle The size of this angle is a result of
many factors such as heel angle wind velocity boat design and waveheight Though leeway for racing boats is usually not more than a few
degrees it will get slightly larger as the waves get bigger The main place where you will notice leeway is in relationto fixed objects like marks Your laylines are wider for
example in waves so you must allow a little extra distance before tacking
One place where its easyto see how much the waves pushyou to leeward is at the starting lineWhen boats attempt to luff in place on the line
they often slide much farther to leeward thanthey think Thats one reason why there
is often a significant line sag when thewaves are big
Go fast upwindin waves
Except for those few times when youare able to ride a motorboat wake
coming from behind waves are neverhelpful when youre racing upwind Itsalways faster to sail in flatter water andthat should be your first rule of thumbon beats
Sailing fast in waves requires ateam effort that involves the drivertrimmers and the rest of the crew Youhave to look ahead for waves that arecoming shift gears and find the bestway to steer through them
There are three basic strategies fordealing with waves upwind You cansail directly through the waves steerover the waves or try to avoid thewaves More likely you will do somecombination of the above
Going straight through waves isusually the best option when the wavesare everywhere and too small to steeraround The bigger and heavier yourboat the more likely you are to takethis approach since its often impossibleor slow to turn your rudder for individ-ual waves
This is not a great option for biggerwaves but sometimes it is your onlychoice (eg when all the waves are bigand steep) In that case try to keep the
boat going a little faster than usual upthe beat The most costly mistake is tobe too slow when you hit a bad wave
Anticipation is important The keyto maintaining speed through badwaves is to shift gears before you get tothem That means you need enoughwarning to power up your sail planbefore the bow digs into the first wave
Steering over the waves is a goodidea when they are larger and spacedfarther apart and when going straightthrough them is slow The smaller andlighter your boat the more effectivethis is
The basic technique for sailingover waves is to head up on the frontside and bear off the back side In other

words luff toward the wind a little asyou go up the wave and then bear offaway from the wind as you go down theback side The steeper the wave and thefaster your speed over the waves themore sharply you will have to turn yourhelm and your boat
In boats that are light enough to beaffected by the positioning of crewweight combine the steering with arotational movement of your bodiesLean aft (and maybe in a little) as yougo up the wave Then lean out and for-ward as you go over the top and downthe back side
Avoiding waves is always the pre-ferred option This works well whenyou have identifiable areas of badwaves such as boat wakes or sets ofespecially large steep waves Sinceyou can never avoid all waves youmust use this in concert with otherways to sail through waves but thisstrategy should always be a part of yourupwind plan
The techniques that work best inwaves are often subtle enough that younever know how well they are workinguntil you measure your performanceagainst nearby boats So test your wavestrategy before the start and continue toevaluate it during the race If youre notfast change something and try again
Put your weight in the right places One of the reasons why waves make a boat gomore slowly is because they cause it to hobby-horse which disrupts the air flow around itssails and the water flow around its foils This isespecially harmful in lighter air
The main goal of positioning your weightin waves therefore should be to reduce hobby-horsing Keep your crew together as much aspossible and near the middle of the boat In lightair the ideal spot is right at the top of the keelsince that is the point around which the sailplan hull and foils pivot When conditions arebumpy and light its not unusual for crews to sitdown below on the cabin sole (in bigger boats)or to crouch down inside the cockpit (one-designs)This reduces the range of motion ofthe mast and keelcenterboard
In heavy air the crew cant be inside theboat of course Instead they should sit tightlytogether like the crew on the boat above Thefore-and-aft position of their weight depends onthe boat wind strength and wave shapeGenerally the crew should be at least slightlyfarther aft when its rough (than when its flatwith the same wind velocity) to keep the bowfrom plowing into waves
If youre racing upwind in waves and youthink your weight is positioned perfectly but youarent going fast try moving your crew a littlefarther apart Sometimes the boat doesnt clickwith the natural frequency of the wavesmdashbutdifferent crew spacing may improve this har-mony (and therefore your speed)
These waves are unusually large uniform and rounded on top so its not necessary tosteer around them very much The ideal course would be a gradual slight arc to windwardon the approaching face of the wave followed by a similar bearing off down the back side
How much to steer in wavesWhen youre sailing upwind waves will
always slow you down so you should avoidthem as much as possible (see below)However when you turn your rudder to steeraround waves the drag you create will alsomake you go slower Therefore you are alwayssearching for the optimal tradeoff betweenusing a lot of rudder and missing waves versususing less rudder and hitting waves
The only true way to judge whether youare doing a good (fast) job of this is by com-paring your performance to that of a nearbyboat Thats why its critical when you havewaves to train with another boat if possible andto tune up with a competitor before every raceWhile you are doing this try different steeringtechniques to see what is fastest in the unique
conditions that you have on any dayThe last thing you
want to do in awavy race is
to be look-ing for
the groove as you come off the starting line Several factors influence the tradeoff of
how aggressively you should steer (ie howquickly and how far you should turn the rud-der) Here are two important considerations
bull Size and shape of the waves - Are thewaves big small rounded or crested Howsteep and close together are they You donthave to steer much in small waves or even bigswells but medium-size waves can present atough challenge especially when theyre steepandor close together
bull Characteristics of your boat - Is yourboat large or small (relative to the waves) lightor heavy Does it turn easily Does it have anarrow bow that cuts easily through the wavesor a fat bow that slams into waves All thesefactors affect the tradeoff of hitting a wave ver-sus turning to miss it
One thing thats true for all boats andwaves is that when you turn the boat its bestto do this with as little rudder as possibleReduce drag by steering with sail trim and bodyweight For example use windward helm toallow the boat to carve its own turn to windwardon the front of the wave Then at the top of thewave hike out hard and ease the mainsheet ortraveler to help bear off down the back side Ifyou can turn the boat without so much dragthen the tradeoff moves in the direction of steer-ing to miss more waves

Afew years ago I heard the call ofthe sea again I spent the first eight
years of my adult life in and aroundnuclear submarines in Virginia andHawaii and fell in love with the oceanI enjoyed many things about sub-marines but concluded that sailing ontop of the water was much more enjoy-able than being below the surfaceAmong other things sunsets observedthrough a periscope were no match forthose experienced from the deck of asmall boat As much as I enjoyed sea-side living Midwestern roots and alovely St Paul girl led me to Minnesotain 1995 Kids and careers dominatedthe next thirteen years We owned a fewboats sailed the city lakes inMinneapolis and chartered once a sum-mer on Lake Superior Recently Idropped out of the rat race to stay homewith my daughters and decided to dosomething fun before it was too late(see ldquoSo You Want to Be a SailingInstructorrdquo Northern BreezesOctNovDec 2008) I began teachingAmerican Sailing Association (ASA)Basic Keelboat classes for NorthernBreezes Sailing School in the summerand Coastal Navigation and MarineWeather in the winter in addition toworking part time in the school office
I enjoyed teaching and learning theropes of the sailing business Familyschool and work kept us in Minneapolisdespite the short season The sea wascalling but there were always other pri-orities Lake Superior became a willingsurrogate for the salt water that Icraved The open water occasionalrough conditions and terrific cruisingonly a few hours drive from home keptme satisfied As my interest experienceand confidence in sailing instructiongrew I knew it was time to move up theladder In the ASANorthern Breezeshierarchy that meant teaching BasicCoastal Cruising and BareboatChartering onboard the schoolrsquos live-aboard yachts in Bayfield Wisconsin
But there was one major hurdle Toteach on Lake Superior (or any of theGreat Lakes or oceans) you need to belicensed by the US Coast GuardFurther motivation to advance was theopportunity to break into the instructorranks for Northern Breezesrsquo classes inthe British Virgin Islands I can think offew better jobs than getting paid to sailin the Caribbean in the winter I wasdetermined to succeed and thought thatit couldnrsquot be that hard to get a licenseespecially for an ex-Navy guy Iresearched the requirements andlearned that it wouldnrsquot be as easy as Ithought But I did it Herersquos how
Let me publicly state here that mywife Kathleen is a keeper She wasamazingly supportive and knew howmuch I loved teaching sailing despite
the belief of many that it is a ldquoplayrdquo jobI also need to thank my daughtersDanielle and Amy who put up with anabsentee father for much of last sum-mer while I taught on the evenings andweekends and logged hours in goodweather and bad
The first decision was what type ofCoast Guard license to get The lowest-level license required to teach on theGreat Lakes is an Operator ofUninspected Passenger Vessels(OUPV) which restricts you to six pay-ing passengers and vessels smaller than100 gross tons This license is usuallyreferred to as a ldquoSix-Packrdquo a term Irsquomtold the Coast Guard dislikes To carrymore than six passengers or to operateinspected vessels (usually larger boatslike ferries tugs and tour boats) you

The list of requirements lookeddaunting although none were too diffi-cult taken individually Like so manytasks it was just a matter of time andmoney What I wasnrsquot expecting wasthat the most obvious prerequisite-boat-ing experience-would end up being thebottleneck
The minimum experience neededfor an OUPV (Six-Pack) or Master

10-ton sailboat Conversely our 16-foot J-scow was unballasted and hadonly a paddle for auxiliary power Toosmall Catch number two was the CoastGuardrsquos bias for sea service on federalwaters The logic here was that youwere getting a license to operate onwaters under federal authority so thatrsquoswhere your sea time should be Mycharter experience on Lake Superiorcounted as did my two seasons owninglarger boats on Lake Pepin and the StCroix River There was also some ridetime on OPBs (Other Peoplersquos Boats)but in the end I could only come upwith about half of the necessary 360days and was frustrated that the major-ity of my experience did not qualify Toclaim sea time on your own vessel(s)you must submit a Coast Guard Form719S plus proof of ownership such astitle bill-of-sale or insurance docu-ments To claim time on OPBs youneed to get the ownerrsquos signature on theform Sea service documentation isessentially on the honor system sincethe Coast Guard doesnrsquot have the

fine line between courage and foolhar-diness but that judgment comes fromexperience and education and I wasgetting plenty of both The reality isthat I am a much better sailor andinstructor for having followed the rulesPlus I had so much fun that I kept onsailing even after hitting the magicnumber of 360 and ended up with fivedays of overkill
In the off season I bought a studyguide and hit the books Candidateshave to pass written tests on Rules ofthe Road General NavigationCharting Deck Seamanship and SafetyHere my Navy experience was veryuseful as Uncle Sam had taught me alot of the material when I was trainingfor the submarine fleet Navigation andcharting hadnrsquot changed much since Ilearned them in the 1980s and much ofthe firefighting safety and deck sea-manship topics were also reviewAdditionally my ASA courses rein-forced some of the material includingthe Rules of the Road which required apassing score of 90 for all levels oflicenses I had originally planned tostudy on my own then I learned that Iwould have to travel to one of the CoastGuardrsquos 17 Regional ExaminationCenters (RECs) to take the tests The
nearest RECs to my Minneapolis homewere St Louis Missouri and ToledoOhio The other option was to take theexams at an authorized school and therewere a couple near the Twin Cities
So there I was in April of 2009 lis-tening to Captain Ted Gephart ownerof Superior Marine Training Therewere 15 students in the class mostlypower boaters from Minnesota andWisconsin although three of us weresailors and one student had traveledfrom Missouri Ted plowed through thehuge volume of material in the 60-hourclass with energy and humor Sometopics were dry and tedious such as theCode of Federal Regulations whileothers like marine weather were moreinteresting We covered Rules of theRoad every day until we could justabout recite the book Hands-ondemonstrations on life rafts and riggingblocks and tackles were useful andthere was plenty of charting practice tobreak up the textbook lessons Becausethe sea time for an OUPV and InlandMasters license were the same I decid-ed to upgrade Superior Marine offeredthe Masterrsquos course for an additionalfee and three more days of classesCaptain Ted also incorporated theAuxiliary Sail and Assistance Towing
material and exams into the Masterscourse so I got those endorsements tooHe even arranged for on-site drug test-ing and medical exams for those thatneeded them Tuition also includedindividual consultation on the applica-tion process supported by Tedrsquos 20-plus years of experience trainingprofessional mariners
I was slowly checking things offmy list A new brainchild of bureaucra-cy is the Department of HomelandSecurityrsquos Transportation WorkerIdentification Credential (TWIC)Originally conceived to control accessto secure areas of commercial ports itis now required for all licensed mer-chant mariners including Great Lakessailing instructors The TWIC is aphoto ID card with a chip containingbiometric and personal information Itrsquosimpressive and official-looking but itcost me $145 and a couple of trips to aRoseville Minnesota office park I alsoneeded to take an oath and get it nota-rized Three letters of recommendationwere required for new applicants frompeople (preferably not relatives) whocan attest to onersquos character and suit-ability for the duties of Captain orMaster Irsquom happy to say that it wasnrsquottoo hard to find three friends whothought I would make a good captain(Thanks Julia Brian and Thom)

Often I chat withboaters regarding a
wide range of boat-smarttopics fog being one Thattopic came to the forefrontafter a fog bank shroudedthe waters off Manisteeduring the Salmon Splash333 fishing TournamentThe captains I spoke withemphasized safety and situ-ational awareness whenoperating in fog in otherwords boat smart
Manisteersquos 2009Salmon Splash 333 Best ofthe Best boasted a $10000first-place price Needlessto say fog was not goingto deter anglers from pur-suing the grand prize evenit meant running in fogwhich they did on the sec-ond day of the tournament In all therewere 58 boats in the tournament
With that many boats picking theirway through the fog in close proximitythe chance for collisions seemed immi-nent yet none occurred or at least nonethat were reported Several captains Ispoke with told me they lost fishinglines severed when boats crossed theirstern ldquoBut that comes with the territo-ryrdquo said one captain referring to thefog especially when fishing linesextend well off the stern
What impressed me about theanglers I spoke with and the tourna-ment guidelines is that safety ruledMatthew Salerno and his brother Tonywho won the $10000 prize aboard theirboat Living a Dream told me they trollat about 25 knots with a forward look-out at all times Safety equipment isreadily at hand and the crew is familiarwith its use
Communicating with other tourna-ment boats is prohibited whether it bea cell phone or marine radio unless inthe event of an emergency These
anglers were literally on their own andalone in the fog ldquoWe kept our eyes onthe radar at all timesrdquo said MattSalerno Not all the boats howevercarried radar but still kept safe by fol-lowing a basic navigation rule
Rule 6 of the Navigation Rulesstates ldquoEvery vessel shall at all timesproceed at a safe speed so that she cantake proper and effective action toavoid collision and be stopped within adistance appropriate to the prevailingcircumstances and conditionsrdquo
One of the conditions addressed inthe rules is state of visibilityApparently these anglers some ofwhom were Coast Guard licensed cap-tains understood the rules and so com-plied However not all the boaters onthe lake that day
were part of the tournament norexercising boat smarts one such boaternearly slammed into one of the tourna-ment boats
ldquoWe were fishing a mile off BigPoint Sable in a hundred and thirty feetof water when out of the fog emerged
this 35-foot powerboatheading right at us pullinga dingy off its sternrdquo saidthe captain of the tourna-ment boat Katch-Me ldquoWewaved our arms andhollered as he bore downon usrdquo The captain figuresthe boat was travelingabout 15 knots
One of the crewmanaboard believes the boatoperator was not expect-ing to encounter in fog afleet of boats on LakeMichigan on a Thursdaymorning Thursday morn-ing or Saturday afternoonhas little to do with main-taining a proper lookoutand using all availablemeans to avoid a collisionin fog Also towing a
dinghy behind a boat in fog is not toobright Another boat could run over thetow line and foul its prop(s) or theboater pulling it might snag the towingline while backing down to avoid a col-lision
What I find disturbing about thisincident is that the tournament boaterswere using all means available toassure not only their own safety butthat of their fellow anglers Then alongcomes a boater who seems oblivious tothe safety of others or worse yet wasjust boat stupid
I suspect it is the latter untilboaters are required to boat smart thosethat do must keep a very sharp lookoutfog or not

Waves are like snowflakes No twoare exactly the same and therefore
you have to treat each one as a unique anddifferent entity The same is true in thebig picturemdashevery sequence of wavesyou face during a race will be at least alittle different from anything you haveever seen before So you must continual-ly work at finding the optimal paththrough the waves you face
When you get to the race course it ishelpful to ask a few questions to under-stand the waves and how they will affectyour race
bull Are the waves perpendicular to thewind direction If the waves are flowingin the same direction as the wind thenyou will generally have symmetry fromtack to tack But If not you will need toset things up differently on each tack
bull Are you going faster or slower thanthe waves downwind Figure out if thewaves are helping you (ie theyre goingfaster than you) or hurting you (yourefaster than them) Also do surfing condi-tions exist This is key to knowing if youare allowed to pump your sails Here arefurther explanations of some of theseconcepts

Key wave conceptsby David Dellenbaugh
bull Whats causing the waves The sizeand shape of waves will depend onwhether they are caused by wind currentor boats You could have smooth swellsfrom a storm far away steep chop when astrong breeze blows over shallow wateror when current flows against the windor random chop from motorboats in aspectator fleet
bull Are the waves the normal size thatyou would expect for the wind velocityFor various reasons the waves might belarger or smaller than normal (see below)This could have huge implications forsteering trimming and sailing the boat
Check for wave asymmetry When youre racing upwind are the waves equal on each tack They are usually similar on port andstarboard tacks because waves are created by the wind and therefore they come from that directionHowever this is not always the case Sometimes the waves are not perpendicular to the wind andthis can have a huge impact on the way you sail your boat
There are several reasons why waves may be different from tack to tack bull Windshifts - If the waves are at first aligned with the wind any change in wind direction will
make them unaligned (at least for a while)This is very common bull Presence of nearby land - If there is land to windward of the course it could affect how waves
move across the racing area bull A distant storm -When youre racing on the ocean there are often swells coming from a direc-
tion thats very different from your sailing wind bull Cross-current - If you have a strong current that is not aligned with the wind it often creates
waves that arent square to the wind When you first start sailing in your race area check to see if the waves are the same on each
tack If not make the appropriate sail trim adjustments For example you will have to make your sailsfuller and more twisted on the bumpier tack (which goes more directly into the waves) On the other(smoother) tack you may be able to trim your sails much flatter and tighter You can point higher onthis tack too and keep your weight a little farther forward
There are also strategic implications of wave asymmetry For example if port tack is smootherit might mean the wind has shifted to the right When wave asymmetry is caused by a persistentwindshift its better to sail the smoother tack first since that will take you in the direction where thewind is shifting
Motorboat waves It would be hard to run most sailboat raceswithout motorboats but it sure would be nice ifwe could run them without motorboat wakesUnfortunately waves from motorboats are afact of life in most racing venues and the goodsailors simply figure out how to handle them
Motorboat waves differ from wind gener-ated waves in several important ways They areoften steeper and closer together (and thereforecan potentially hurt your speed much more)Boat waves typically hit you at strange angles(rather than straight with the wind) And fortu-nately they usually come and go pretty quickly
The first rule for maintaining speedthrough waves is to hit them at an angle(instead of head on)This is normally worthdoing even if it requires a significant alteration inthe course you have been sailing In fact it mayeven make sense to tack or jibe so big waveshit your stern rather than your bow
The second rule of thumb for motorboatwaves is to make sure you are going fast justbefore you hit them In other words be proac-tive by bearing off (or heading up on a run)easing (or trimming) your sails moving weightaft etc Dont wait until the first wave hits youbefore making these changes
As I mentioned above you ideally want tohit motorboat waves at an oblique angle andfully powered up But sometimes you cant doboth When the waves are coming at you paral-lel to the wind you have to make a choice Itsusually better to hit waves at an angle even ifyou have to pinch up and lose a little speedThis seems better than bearing off for speedand hitting the waves head on
Waves relative to windIn any wind velocity there is a certain size andshape of waves that you normally see with thatamount of wind In a five-knot breeze forexample the water surface should be almosttotally flat In 18 knots of wind however youexpect to see fairly good-sized waves withwhitecaps
But as every sailor knows you dontalways get normal sea conditions You mightsee bigger or smaller waves than whats typicalfor that wind velocity and this will affect howyou set up and sail your boat
When Im racing I categorize the wavestate in three general ways
1) Normal waves for the wind 2) Morewind than waves and 3) More waves thanwind Heres a closer look at each
More wind than waves This is almost always a fun condition for sailing(unless youre trying to do a windy jibe) Itsgreat (or painting and speed and makes stay-ing in the groove pretty easy
Here are several times when you are like-ly to see this condition
bull A building breezemdashthe breeze is up butthe waves havent had time to build yet
bull An offshore breezemdashthe water is flatteras you get closer to land because there is lessfetch for the waves to build
bull Current flowing with the wind When you have more wind than waves
you can trim your sails flatter and harder thanyou normally would in that breeze You shouldsail most boats as flat as possible and go formaximum height (pointing)
More waves than wind This is almost always a tough condition for sail-ing (unless you are sailing downwind withenough breeze to surf) It makes finding thegroove difficult and it quickly separates thegood sailors from the rest
You will typically see this condition withbull A dying breezemdashthe breeze always
changes faster than the wave state bull An onshore breezemdashwhen the wind is
blowing toward the shore it usually has a longfetch for the waves to build
bull Current flowing against the wind bull Lots of motorboat wakes (the worst) When you have more waves than wind be
careful about trimming too hard or pointing toohigh Err on the side of twist power and footingso you keep going fast

Watch for leeway caused by waves Waves make sailboats go up and down and they also push boats to leeward
The difference between the course you steer and the course you make goodthrough the water is your leeway angle The size of this angle is a result of
many factors such as heel angle wind velocity boat design and waveheight Though leeway for racing boats is usually not more than a few
degrees it will get slightly larger as the waves get bigger The main place where you will notice leeway is in relationto fixed objects like marks Your laylines are wider for
example in waves so you must allow a little extra distance before tacking
One place where its easyto see how much the waves pushyou to leeward is at the starting lineWhen boats attempt to luff in place on the line
they often slide much farther to leeward thanthey think Thats one reason why there
is often a significant line sag when thewaves are big
Go fast upwindin waves
Except for those few times when youare able to ride a motorboat wake
coming from behind waves are neverhelpful when youre racing upwind Itsalways faster to sail in flatter water andthat should be your first rule of thumbon beats
Sailing fast in waves requires ateam effort that involves the drivertrimmers and the rest of the crew Youhave to look ahead for waves that arecoming shift gears and find the bestway to steer through them
There are three basic strategies fordealing with waves upwind You cansail directly through the waves steerover the waves or try to avoid thewaves More likely you will do somecombination of the above
Going straight through waves isusually the best option when the wavesare everywhere and too small to steeraround The bigger and heavier yourboat the more likely you are to takethis approach since its often impossibleor slow to turn your rudder for individ-ual waves
This is not a great option for biggerwaves but sometimes it is your onlychoice (eg when all the waves are bigand steep) In that case try to keep the
boat going a little faster than usual upthe beat The most costly mistake is tobe too slow when you hit a bad wave
Anticipation is important The keyto maintaining speed through badwaves is to shift gears before you get tothem That means you need enoughwarning to power up your sail planbefore the bow digs into the first wave
Steering over the waves is a goodidea when they are larger and spacedfarther apart and when going straightthrough them is slow The smaller andlighter your boat the more effectivethis is
The basic technique for sailingover waves is to head up on the frontside and bear off the back side In other
30 Visit Northern Breezes Online wwwsailingbreezescom - JuneJuly 2010
words luff toward the wind a little asyou go up the wave and then bear offaway from the wind as you go down theback side The steeper the wave and thefaster your speed over the waves themore sharply you will have to turn yourhelm and your boat
In boats that are light enough to beaffected by the positioning of crewweight combine the steering with arotational movement of your bodiesLean aft (and maybe in a little) as yougo up the wave Then lean out and for-ward as you go over the top and downthe back side
Avoiding waves is always the pre-ferred option This works well whenyou have identifiable areas of badwaves such as boat wakes or sets ofespecially large steep waves Sinceyou can never avoid all waves youmust use this in concert with otherways to sail through waves but thisstrategy should always be a part of yourupwind plan
The techniques that work best inwaves are often subtle enough that younever know how well they are workinguntil you measure your performanceagainst nearby boats So test your wavestrategy before the start and continue toevaluate it during the race If youre notfast change something and try again
Put your weight in the right places One of the reasons why waves make a boat gomore slowly is because they cause it to hobby-horse which disrupts the air flow around itssails and the water flow around its foils This isespecially harmful in lighter air
The main goal of positioning your weightin waves therefore should be to reduce hobby-horsing Keep your crew together as much aspossible and near the middle of the boat In lightair the ideal spot is right at the top of the keelsince that is the point around which the sailplan hull and foils pivot When conditions arebumpy and light its not unusual for crews to sitdown below on the cabin sole (in bigger boats)or to crouch down inside the cockpit (one-designs)This reduces the range of motion ofthe mast and keelcenterboard
In heavy air the crew cant be inside theboat of course Instead they should sit tightlytogether like the crew on the boat above Thefore-and-aft position of their weight depends onthe boat wind strength and wave shapeGenerally the crew should be at least slightlyfarther aft when its rough (than when its flatwith the same wind velocity) to keep the bowfrom plowing into waves
If youre racing upwind in waves and youthink your weight is positioned perfectly but youarent going fast try moving your crew a littlefarther apart Sometimes the boat doesnt clickwith the natural frequency of the wavesmdashbutdifferent crew spacing may improve this har-mony (and therefore your speed)
These waves are unusually large uniform and rounded on top so its not necessary tosteer around them very much The ideal course would be a gradual slight arc to windwardon the approaching face of the wave followed by a similar bearing off down the back side
How much to steer in wavesWhen youre sailing upwind waves will
always slow you down so you should avoidthem as much as possible (see below)However when you turn your rudder to steeraround waves the drag you create will alsomake you go slower Therefore you are alwayssearching for the optimal tradeoff betweenusing a lot of rudder and missing waves versususing less rudder and hitting waves
The only true way to judge whether youare doing a good (fast) job of this is by com-paring your performance to that of a nearbyboat Thats why its critical when you havewaves to train with another boat if possible andto tune up with a competitor before every raceWhile you are doing this try different steeringtechniques to see what is fastest in the unique
conditions that you have on any dayThe last thing you
want to do in awavy race is
to be look-ing for
the groove as you come off the starting line Several factors influence the tradeoff of
how aggressively you should steer (ie howquickly and how far you should turn the rud-der) Here are two important considerations
bull Size and shape of the waves - Are thewaves big small rounded or crested Howsteep and close together are they You donthave to steer much in small waves or even bigswells but medium-size waves can present atough challenge especially when theyre steepandor close together
bull Characteristics of your boat - Is yourboat large or small (relative to the waves) lightor heavy Does it turn easily Does it have anarrow bow that cuts easily through the wavesor a fat bow that slams into waves All thesefactors affect the tradeoff of hitting a wave ver-sus turning to miss it
One thing thats true for all boats andwaves is that when you turn the boat its bestto do this with as little rudder as possibleReduce drag by steering with sail trim and bodyweight For example use windward helm toallow the boat to carve its own turn to windwardon the front of the wave Then at the top of thewave hike out hard and ease the mainsheet ortraveler to help bear off down the back side Ifyou can turn the boat without so much dragthen the tradeoff moves in the direction of steer-ing to miss more waves

Afew years ago I heard the call ofthe sea again I spent the first eight
years of my adult life in and aroundnuclear submarines in Virginia andHawaii and fell in love with the oceanI enjoyed many things about sub-marines but concluded that sailing ontop of the water was much more enjoy-able than being below the surfaceAmong other things sunsets observedthrough a periscope were no match forthose experienced from the deck of asmall boat As much as I enjoyed sea-side living Midwestern roots and alovely St Paul girl led me to Minnesotain 1995 Kids and careers dominatedthe next thirteen years We owned a fewboats sailed the city lakes inMinneapolis and chartered once a sum-mer on Lake Superior Recently Idropped out of the rat race to stay homewith my daughters and decided to dosomething fun before it was too late(see ldquoSo You Want to Be a SailingInstructorrdquo Northern BreezesOctNovDec 2008) I began teachingAmerican Sailing Association (ASA)Basic Keelboat classes for NorthernBreezes Sailing School in the summerand Coastal Navigation and MarineWeather in the winter in addition toworking part time in the school office
I enjoyed teaching and learning theropes of the sailing business Familyschool and work kept us in Minneapolisdespite the short season The sea wascalling but there were always other pri-orities Lake Superior became a willingsurrogate for the salt water that Icraved The open water occasionalrough conditions and terrific cruisingonly a few hours drive from home keptme satisfied As my interest experienceand confidence in sailing instructiongrew I knew it was time to move up theladder In the ASANorthern Breezeshierarchy that meant teaching BasicCoastal Cruising and BareboatChartering onboard the schoolrsquos live-aboard yachts in Bayfield Wisconsin
But there was one major hurdle Toteach on Lake Superior (or any of theGreat Lakes or oceans) you need to belicensed by the US Coast GuardFurther motivation to advance was theopportunity to break into the instructorranks for Northern Breezesrsquo classes inthe British Virgin Islands I can think offew better jobs than getting paid to sailin the Caribbean in the winter I wasdetermined to succeed and thought thatit couldnrsquot be that hard to get a licenseespecially for an ex-Navy guy Iresearched the requirements andlearned that it wouldnrsquot be as easy as Ithought But I did it Herersquos how
Let me publicly state here that mywife Kathleen is a keeper She wasamazingly supportive and knew howmuch I loved teaching sailing despite
the belief of many that it is a ldquoplayrdquo jobI also need to thank my daughtersDanielle and Amy who put up with anabsentee father for much of last sum-mer while I taught on the evenings andweekends and logged hours in goodweather and bad
The first decision was what type ofCoast Guard license to get The lowest-level license required to teach on theGreat Lakes is an Operator ofUninspected Passenger Vessels(OUPV) which restricts you to six pay-ing passengers and vessels smaller than100 gross tons This license is usuallyreferred to as a ldquoSix-Packrdquo a term Irsquomtold the Coast Guard dislikes To carrymore than six passengers or to operateinspected vessels (usually larger boatslike ferries tugs and tour boats) you

fine line between courage and foolhar-diness but that judgment comes fromexperience and education and I wasgetting plenty of both The reality isthat I am a much better sailor andinstructor for having followed the rulesPlus I had so much fun that I kept onsailing even after hitting the magicnumber of 360 and ended up with fivedays of overkill
In the off season I bought a studyguide and hit the books Candidateshave to pass written tests on Rules ofthe Road General NavigationCharting Deck Seamanship and SafetyHere my Navy experience was veryuseful as Uncle Sam had taught me alot of the material when I was trainingfor the submarine fleet Navigation andcharting hadnrsquot changed much since Ilearned them in the 1980s and much ofthe firefighting safety and deck sea-manship topics were also reviewAdditionally my ASA courses rein-forced some of the material includingthe Rules of the Road which required apassing score of 90 for all levels oflicenses I had originally planned tostudy on my own then I learned that Iwould have to travel to one of the CoastGuardrsquos 17 Regional ExaminationCenters (RECs) to take the tests The
nearest RECs to my Minneapolis homewere St Louis Missouri and ToledoOhio The other option was to take theexams at an authorized school and therewere a couple near the Twin Cities
So there I was in April of 2009 lis-tening to Captain Ted Gephart ownerof Superior Marine Training Therewere 15 students in the class mostlypower boaters from Minnesota andWisconsin although three of us weresailors and one student had traveledfrom Missouri Ted plowed through thehuge volume of material in the 60-hourclass with energy and humor Sometopics were dry and tedious such as theCode of Federal Regulations whileothers like marine weather were moreinteresting We covered Rules of theRoad every day until we could justabout recite the book Hands-ondemonstrations on life rafts and riggingblocks and tackles were useful andthere was plenty of charting practice tobreak up the textbook lessons Becausethe sea time for an OUPV and InlandMasters license were the same I decid-ed to upgrade Superior Marine offeredthe Masterrsquos course for an additionalfee and three more days of classesCaptain Ted also incorporated theAuxiliary Sail and Assistance Towing

The whole process cost me several thousand dollars andmany spring summer and fall days away from my familyWould I do it all over again Absolutely It opened up newteaching opportunities previously forbidden by law raised mypay grade separated me from other ASA instructors and gaveme a cool title Sure the designation feeds the ego but thereal value for me was the experience gained in accumulatingthe sea time I thought I already had I am a much more confi-dent and capable sailor and instructor for having met all of therequirements as written I suppose thatrsquos why theyrsquorerequired Officially I am a 50-ton Inland and Great Lakes

Often I chat withboaters regarding a
wide range of boat-smarttopics fog being one Thattopic came to the forefrontafter a fog bank shroudedthe waters off Manisteeduring the Salmon Splash333 fishing TournamentThe captains I spoke withemphasized safety and situ-ational awareness whenoperating in fog in otherwords boat smart
Manisteersquos 2009Salmon Splash 333 Best ofthe Best boasted a $10000first-place price Needlessto say fog was not goingto deter anglers from pur-suing the grand prize evenit meant running in fogwhich they did on the sec-ond day of the tournament In all therewere 58 boats in the tournament
With that many boats picking theirway through the fog in close proximitythe chance for collisions seemed immi-nent yet none occurred or at least nonethat were reported Several captains Ispoke with told me they lost fishinglines severed when boats crossed theirstern ldquoBut that comes with the territo-ryrdquo said one captain referring to thefog especially when fishing linesextend well off the stern
What impressed me about theanglers I spoke with and the tourna-ment guidelines is that safety ruledMatthew Salerno and his brother Tonywho won the $10000 prize aboard theirboat Living a Dream told me they trollat about 25 knots with a forward look-out at all times Safety equipment isreadily at hand and the crew is familiarwith its use
Communicating with other tourna-ment boats is prohibited whether it bea cell phone or marine radio unless inthe event of an emergency These
anglers were literally on their own andalone in the fog ldquoWe kept our eyes onthe radar at all timesrdquo said MattSalerno Not all the boats howevercarried radar but still kept safe by fol-lowing a basic navigation rule
Rule 6 of the Navigation Rulesstates ldquoEvery vessel shall at all timesproceed at a safe speed so that she cantake proper and effective action toavoid collision and be stopped within adistance appropriate to the prevailingcircumstances and conditionsrdquo
One of the conditions addressed inthe rules is state of visibilityApparently these anglers some ofwhom were Coast Guard licensed cap-tains understood the rules and so com-plied However not all the boaters onthe lake that day
were part of the tournament norexercising boat smarts one such boaternearly slammed into one of the tourna-ment boats
ldquoWe were fishing a mile off BigPoint Sable in a hundred and thirty feetof water when out of the fog emerged
this 35-foot powerboatheading right at us pullinga dingy off its sternrdquo saidthe captain of the tourna-ment boat Katch-Me ldquoWewaved our arms andhollered as he bore downon usrdquo The captain figuresthe boat was travelingabout 15 knots
One of the crewmanaboard believes the boatoperator was not expect-ing to encounter in fog afleet of boats on LakeMichigan on a Thursdaymorning Thursday morn-ing or Saturday afternoonhas little to do with main-taining a proper lookoutand using all availablemeans to avoid a collisionin fog Also towing a
dinghy behind a boat in fog is not toobright Another boat could run over thetow line and foul its prop(s) or theboater pulling it might snag the towingline while backing down to avoid a col-lision
What I find disturbing about thisincident is that the tournament boaterswere using all means available toassure not only their own safety butthat of their fellow anglers Then alongcomes a boater who seems oblivious tothe safety of others or worse yet wasjust boat stupid
I suspect it is the latter untilboaters are required to boat smart thosethat do must keep a very sharp lookoutfog or not

Waves are like snowflakes No twoare exactly the same and therefore
you have to treat each one as a unique anddifferent entity The same is true in thebig picturemdashevery sequence of wavesyou face during a race will be at least alittle different from anything you haveever seen before So you must continual-ly work at finding the optimal paththrough the waves you face
When you get to the race course it ishelpful to ask a few questions to under-stand the waves and how they will affectyour race
bull Are the waves perpendicular to thewind direction If the waves are flowingin the same direction as the wind thenyou will generally have symmetry fromtack to tack But If not you will need toset things up differently on each tack
bull Are you going faster or slower thanthe waves downwind Figure out if thewaves are helping you (ie theyre goingfaster than you) or hurting you (yourefaster than them) Also do surfing condi-tions exist This is key to knowing if youare allowed to pump your sails Here arefurther explanations of some of theseconcepts

Key wave conceptsby David Dellenbaugh
bull Whats causing the waves The sizeand shape of waves will depend onwhether they are caused by wind currentor boats You could have smooth swellsfrom a storm far away steep chop when astrong breeze blows over shallow wateror when current flows against the windor random chop from motorboats in aspectator fleet
bull Are the waves the normal size thatyou would expect for the wind velocityFor various reasons the waves might belarger or smaller than normal (see below)This could have huge implications forsteering trimming and sailing the boat
Check for wave asymmetry When youre racing upwind are the waves equal on each tack They are usually similar on port andstarboard tacks because waves are created by the wind and therefore they come from that directionHowever this is not always the case Sometimes the waves are not perpendicular to the wind andthis can have a huge impact on the way you sail your boat
There are several reasons why waves may be different from tack to tack bull Windshifts - If the waves are at first aligned with the wind any change in wind direction will
make them unaligned (at least for a while)This is very common bull Presence of nearby land - If there is land to windward of the course it could affect how waves
move across the racing area bull A distant storm -When youre racing on the ocean there are often swells coming from a direc-
tion thats very different from your sailing wind bull Cross-current - If you have a strong current that is not aligned with the wind it often creates
waves that arent square to the wind When you first start sailing in your race area check to see if the waves are the same on each
tack If not make the appropriate sail trim adjustments For example you will have to make your sailsfuller and more twisted on the bumpier tack (which goes more directly into the waves) On the other(smoother) tack you may be able to trim your sails much flatter and tighter You can point higher onthis tack too and keep your weight a little farther forward
There are also strategic implications of wave asymmetry For example if port tack is smootherit might mean the wind has shifted to the right When wave asymmetry is caused by a persistentwindshift its better to sail the smoother tack first since that will take you in the direction where thewind is shifting
Motorboat waves It would be hard to run most sailboat raceswithout motorboats but it sure would be nice ifwe could run them without motorboat wakesUnfortunately waves from motorboats are afact of life in most racing venues and the goodsailors simply figure out how to handle them
Motorboat waves differ from wind gener-ated waves in several important ways They areoften steeper and closer together (and thereforecan potentially hurt your speed much more)Boat waves typically hit you at strange angles(rather than straight with the wind) And fortu-nately they usually come and go pretty quickly
The first rule for maintaining speedthrough waves is to hit them at an angle(instead of head on)This is normally worthdoing even if it requires a significant alteration inthe course you have been sailing In fact it mayeven make sense to tack or jibe so big waveshit your stern rather than your bow
The second rule of thumb for motorboatwaves is to make sure you are going fast justbefore you hit them In other words be proac-tive by bearing off (or heading up on a run)easing (or trimming) your sails moving weightaft etc Dont wait until the first wave hits youbefore making these changes
As I mentioned above you ideally want tohit motorboat waves at an oblique angle andfully powered up But sometimes you cant doboth When the waves are coming at you paral-lel to the wind you have to make a choice Itsusually better to hit waves at an angle even ifyou have to pinch up and lose a little speedThis seems better than bearing off for speedand hitting the waves head on
Waves relative to windIn any wind velocity there is a certain size andshape of waves that you normally see with thatamount of wind In a five-knot breeze forexample the water surface should be almosttotally flat In 18 knots of wind however youexpect to see fairly good-sized waves withwhitecaps
But as every sailor knows you dontalways get normal sea conditions You mightsee bigger or smaller waves than whats typicalfor that wind velocity and this will affect howyou set up and sail your boat
When Im racing I categorize the wavestate in three general ways
1) Normal waves for the wind 2) Morewind than waves and 3) More waves thanwind Heres a closer look at each
More wind than waves This is almost always a fun condition for sailing(unless youre trying to do a windy jibe) Itsgreat (or painting and speed and makes stay-ing in the groove pretty easy
Here are several times when you are like-ly to see this condition
bull A building breezemdashthe breeze is up butthe waves havent had time to build yet
bull An offshore breezemdashthe water is flatteras you get closer to land because there is lessfetch for the waves to build
bull Current flowing with the wind When you have more wind than waves
you can trim your sails flatter and harder thanyou normally would in that breeze You shouldsail most boats as flat as possible and go formaximum height (pointing)
More waves than wind This is almost always a tough condition for sail-ing (unless you are sailing downwind withenough breeze to surf) It makes finding thegroove difficult and it quickly separates thegood sailors from the rest
You will typically see this condition withbull A dying breezemdashthe breeze always
changes faster than the wave state bull An onshore breezemdashwhen the wind is
blowing toward the shore it usually has a longfetch for the waves to build
bull Current flowing against the wind bull Lots of motorboat wakes (the worst) When you have more waves than wind be
careful about trimming too hard or pointing toohigh Err on the side of twist power and footingso you keep going fast

Watch for leeway caused by waves Waves make sailboats go up and down and they also push boats to leeward
The difference between the course you steer and the course you make goodthrough the water is your leeway angle The size of this angle is a result of
many factors such as heel angle wind velocity boat design and waveheight Though leeway for racing boats is usually not more than a few
degrees it will get slightly larger as the waves get bigger The main place where you will notice leeway is in relationto fixed objects like marks Your laylines are wider for
example in waves so you must allow a little extra distance before tacking
One place where its easyto see how much the waves pushyou to leeward is at the starting lineWhen boats attempt to luff in place on the line
they often slide much farther to leeward thanthey think Thats one reason why there
is often a significant line sag when thewaves are big
Go fast upwindin waves
Except for those few times when youare able to ride a motorboat wake
coming from behind waves are neverhelpful when youre racing upwind Itsalways faster to sail in flatter water andthat should be your first rule of thumbon beats
Sailing fast in waves requires ateam effort that involves the drivertrimmers and the rest of the crew Youhave to look ahead for waves that arecoming shift gears and find the bestway to steer through them
There are three basic strategies fordealing with waves upwind You cansail directly through the waves steerover the waves or try to avoid thewaves More likely you will do somecombination of the above
Going straight through waves isusually the best option when the wavesare everywhere and too small to steeraround The bigger and heavier yourboat the more likely you are to takethis approach since its often impossibleor slow to turn your rudder for individ-ual waves
This is not a great option for biggerwaves but sometimes it is your onlychoice (eg when all the waves are bigand steep) In that case try to keep the
boat going a little faster than usual upthe beat The most costly mistake is tobe too slow when you hit a bad wave
Anticipation is important The keyto maintaining speed through badwaves is to shift gears before you get tothem That means you need enoughwarning to power up your sail planbefore the bow digs into the first wave
Steering over the waves is a goodidea when they are larger and spacedfarther apart and when going straightthrough them is slow The smaller andlighter your boat the more effectivethis is
The basic technique for sailingover waves is to head up on the frontside and bear off the back side In other
30 Visit Northern Breezes Online wwwsailingbreezescom - JuneJuly 2010
words luff toward the wind a little asyou go up the wave and then bear offaway from the wind as you go down theback side The steeper the wave and thefaster your speed over the waves themore sharply you will have to turn yourhelm and your boat
In boats that are light enough to beaffected by the positioning of crewweight combine the steering with arotational movement of your bodiesLean aft (and maybe in a little) as yougo up the wave Then lean out and for-ward as you go over the top and downthe back side
Avoiding waves is always the pre-ferred option This works well whenyou have identifiable areas of badwaves such as boat wakes or sets ofespecially large steep waves Sinceyou can never avoid all waves youmust use this in concert with otherways to sail through waves but thisstrategy should always be a part of yourupwind plan
The techniques that work best inwaves are often subtle enough that younever know how well they are workinguntil you measure your performanceagainst nearby boats So test your wavestrategy before the start and continue toevaluate it during the race If youre notfast change something and try again
Put your weight in the right places One of the reasons why waves make a boat gomore slowly is because they cause it to hobby-horse which disrupts the air flow around itssails and the water flow around its foils This isespecially harmful in lighter air
The main goal of positioning your weightin waves therefore should be to reduce hobby-horsing Keep your crew together as much aspossible and near the middle of the boat In lightair the ideal spot is right at the top of the keelsince that is the point around which the sailplan hull and foils pivot When conditions arebumpy and light its not unusual for crews to sitdown below on the cabin sole (in bigger boats)or to crouch down inside the cockpit (one-designs)This reduces the range of motion ofthe mast and keelcenterboard
In heavy air the crew cant be inside theboat of course Instead they should sit tightlytogether like the crew on the boat above Thefore-and-aft position of their weight depends onthe boat wind strength and wave shapeGenerally the crew should be at least slightlyfarther aft when its rough (than when its flatwith the same wind velocity) to keep the bowfrom plowing into waves
If youre racing upwind in waves and youthink your weight is positioned perfectly but youarent going fast try moving your crew a littlefarther apart Sometimes the boat doesnt clickwith the natural frequency of the wavesmdashbutdifferent crew spacing may improve this har-mony (and therefore your speed)
These waves are unusually large uniform and rounded on top so its not necessary tosteer around them very much The ideal course would be a gradual slight arc to windwardon the approaching face of the wave followed by a similar bearing off down the back side
How much to steer in wavesWhen youre sailing upwind waves will
always slow you down so you should avoidthem as much as possible (see below)However when you turn your rudder to steeraround waves the drag you create will alsomake you go slower Therefore you are alwayssearching for the optimal tradeoff betweenusing a lot of rudder and missing waves versususing less rudder and hitting waves
The only true way to judge whether youare doing a good (fast) job of this is by com-paring your performance to that of a nearbyboat Thats why its critical when you havewaves to train with another boat if possible andto tune up with a competitor before every raceWhile you are doing this try different steeringtechniques to see what is fastest in the unique
conditions that you have on any dayThe last thing you
want to do in awavy race is
to be look-ing for
the groove as you come off the starting line Several factors influence the tradeoff of
how aggressively you should steer (ie howquickly and how far you should turn the rud-der) Here are two important considerations
bull Size and shape of the waves - Are thewaves big small rounded or crested Howsteep and close together are they You donthave to steer much in small waves or even bigswells but medium-size waves can present atough challenge especially when theyre steepandor close together
bull Characteristics of your boat - Is yourboat large or small (relative to the waves) lightor heavy Does it turn easily Does it have anarrow bow that cuts easily through the wavesor a fat bow that slams into waves All thesefactors affect the tradeoff of hitting a wave ver-sus turning to miss it
One thing thats true for all boats andwaves is that when you turn the boat its bestto do this with as little rudder as possibleReduce drag by steering with sail trim and bodyweight For example use windward helm toallow the boat to carve its own turn to windwardon the front of the wave Then at the top of thewave hike out hard and ease the mainsheet ortraveler to help bear off down the back side Ifyou can turn the boat without so much dragthen the tradeoff moves in the direction of steer-ing to miss more waves

Afew years ago I heard the call ofthe sea again I spent the first eight
years of my adult life in and aroundnuclear submarines in Virginia andHawaii and fell in love with the oceanI enjoyed many things about sub-marines but concluded that sailing ontop of the water was much more enjoy-able than being below the surfaceAmong other things sunsets observedthrough a periscope were no match forthose experienced from the deck of asmall boat As much as I enjoyed sea-side living Midwestern roots and alovely St Paul girl led me to Minnesotain 1995 Kids and careers dominatedthe next thirteen years We owned a fewboats sailed the city lakes inMinneapolis and chartered once a sum-mer on Lake Superior Recently Idropped out of the rat race to stay homewith my daughters and decided to dosomething fun before it was too late(see ldquoSo You Want to Be a SailingInstructorrdquo Northern BreezesOctNovDec 2008) I began teachingAmerican Sailing Association (ASA)Basic Keelboat classes for NorthernBreezes Sailing School in the summerand Coastal Navigation and MarineWeather in the winter in addition toworking part time in the school office
I enjoyed teaching and learning theropes of the sailing business Familyschool and work kept us in Minneapolisdespite the short season The sea wascalling but there were always other pri-orities Lake Superior became a willingsurrogate for the salt water that Icraved The open water occasionalrough conditions and terrific cruisingonly a few hours drive from home keptme satisfied As my interest experienceand confidence in sailing instructiongrew I knew it was time to move up theladder In the ASANorthern Breezeshierarchy that meant teaching BasicCoastal Cruising and BareboatChartering onboard the schoolrsquos live-aboard yachts in Bayfield Wisconsin
But there was one major hurdle Toteach on Lake Superior (or any of theGreat Lakes or oceans) you need to belicensed by the US Coast GuardFurther motivation to advance was theopportunity to break into the instructorranks for Northern Breezesrsquo classes inthe British Virgin Islands I can think offew better jobs than getting paid to sailin the Caribbean in the winter I wasdetermined to succeed and thought thatit couldnrsquot be that hard to get a licenseespecially for an ex-Navy guy Iresearched the requirements andlearned that it wouldnrsquot be as easy as Ithought But I did it Herersquos how
Let me publicly state here that mywife Kathleen is a keeper She wasamazingly supportive and knew howmuch I loved teaching sailing despite
the belief of many that it is a ldquoplayrdquo jobI also need to thank my daughtersDanielle and Amy who put up with anabsentee father for much of last sum-mer while I taught on the evenings andweekends and logged hours in goodweather and bad
The first decision was what type ofCoast Guard license to get The lowest-level license required to teach on theGreat Lakes is an Operator ofUninspected Passenger Vessels(OUPV) which restricts you to six pay-ing passengers and vessels smaller than100 gross tons This license is usuallyreferred to as a ldquoSix-Packrdquo a term Irsquomtold the Coast Guard dislikes To carrymore than six passengers or to operateinspected vessels (usually larger boatslike ferries tugs and tour boats) you

fine line between courage and foolhar-diness but that judgment comes fromexperience and education and I wasgetting plenty of both The reality isthat I am a much better sailor andinstructor for having followed the rulesPlus I had so much fun that I kept onsailing even after hitting the magicnumber of 360 and ended up with fivedays of overkill
In the off season I bought a studyguide and hit the books Candidateshave to pass written tests on Rules ofthe Road General NavigationCharting Deck Seamanship and SafetyHere my Navy experience was veryuseful as Uncle Sam had taught me alot of the material when I was trainingfor the submarine fleet Navigation andcharting hadnrsquot changed much since Ilearned them in the 1980s and much ofthe firefighting safety and deck sea-manship topics were also reviewAdditionally my ASA courses rein-forced some of the material includingthe Rules of the Road which required apassing score of 90 for all levels oflicenses I had originally planned tostudy on my own then I learned that Iwould have to travel to one of the CoastGuardrsquos 17 Regional ExaminationCenters (RECs) to take the tests The
nearest RECs to my Minneapolis homewere St Louis Missouri and ToledoOhio The other option was to take theexams at an authorized school and therewere a couple near the Twin Cities
So there I was in April of 2009 lis-tening to Captain Ted Gephart ownerof Superior Marine Training Therewere 15 students in the class mostlypower boaters from Minnesota andWisconsin although three of us weresailors and one student had traveledfrom Missouri Ted plowed through thehuge volume of material in the 60-hourclass with energy and humor Sometopics were dry and tedious such as theCode of Federal Regulations whileothers like marine weather were moreinteresting We covered Rules of theRoad every day until we could justabout recite the book Hands-ondemonstrations on life rafts and riggingblocks and tackles were useful andthere was plenty of charting practice tobreak up the textbook lessons Becausethe sea time for an OUPV and InlandMasters license were the same I decid-ed to upgrade Superior Marine offeredthe Masterrsquos course for an additionalfee and three more days of classesCaptain Ted also incorporated theAuxiliary Sail and Assistance Towing

Often I chat withboaters regarding a
wide range of boat-smarttopics fog being one Thattopic came to the forefrontafter a fog bank shroudedthe waters off Manisteeduring the Salmon Splash333 fishing TournamentThe captains I spoke withemphasized safety and situ-ational awareness whenoperating in fog in otherwords boat smart
Manisteersquos 2009Salmon Splash 333 Best ofthe Best boasted a $10000first-place price Needlessto say fog was not goingto deter anglers from pur-suing the grand prize evenit meant running in fogwhich they did on the sec-ond day of the tournament In all therewere 58 boats in the tournament
With that many boats picking theirway through the fog in close proximitythe chance for collisions seemed immi-nent yet none occurred or at least nonethat were reported Several captains Ispoke with told me they lost fishinglines severed when boats crossed theirstern ldquoBut that comes with the territo-ryrdquo said one captain referring to thefog especially when fishing linesextend well off the stern
What impressed me about theanglers I spoke with and the tourna-ment guidelines is that safety ruledMatthew Salerno and his brother Tonywho won the $10000 prize aboard theirboat Living a Dream told me they trollat about 25 knots with a forward look-out at all times Safety equipment isreadily at hand and the crew is familiarwith its use
Communicating with other tourna-ment boats is prohibited whether it bea cell phone or marine radio unless inthe event of an emergency These
anglers were literally on their own andalone in the fog ldquoWe kept our eyes onthe radar at all timesrdquo said MattSalerno Not all the boats howevercarried radar but still kept safe by fol-lowing a basic navigation rule
Rule 6 of the Navigation Rulesstates ldquoEvery vessel shall at all timesproceed at a safe speed so that she cantake proper and effective action toavoid collision and be stopped within adistance appropriate to the prevailingcircumstances and conditionsrdquo
One of the conditions addressed inthe rules is state of visibilityApparently these anglers some ofwhom were Coast Guard licensed cap-tains understood the rules and so com-plied However not all the boaters onthe lake that day
were part of the tournament norexercising boat smarts one such boaternearly slammed into one of the tourna-ment boats
ldquoWe were fishing a mile off BigPoint Sable in a hundred and thirty feetof water when out of the fog emerged
this 35-foot powerboatheading right at us pullinga dingy off its sternrdquo saidthe captain of the tourna-ment boat Katch-Me ldquoWewaved our arms andhollered as he bore downon usrdquo The captain figuresthe boat was travelingabout 15 knots
One of the crewmanaboard believes the boatoperator was not expect-ing to encounter in fog afleet of boats on LakeMichigan on a Thursdaymorning Thursday morn-ing or Saturday afternoonhas little to do with main-taining a proper lookoutand using all availablemeans to avoid a collisionin fog Also towing a
dinghy behind a boat in fog is not toobright Another boat could run over thetow line and foul its prop(s) or theboater pulling it might snag the towingline while backing down to avoid a col-lision
What I find disturbing about thisincident is that the tournament boaterswere using all means available toassure not only their own safety butthat of their fellow anglers Then alongcomes a boater who seems oblivious tothe safety of others or worse yet wasjust boat stupid
I suspect it is the latter untilboaters are required to boat smart thosethat do must keep a very sharp lookoutfog or not

Waves are like snowflakes No twoare exactly the same and therefore
you have to treat each one as a unique anddifferent entity The same is true in thebig picturemdashevery sequence of wavesyou face during a race will be at least alittle different from anything you haveever seen before So you must continual-ly work at finding the optimal paththrough the waves you face
When you get to the race course it ishelpful to ask a few questions to under-stand the waves and how they will affectyour race
bull Are the waves perpendicular to thewind direction If the waves are flowingin the same direction as the wind thenyou will generally have symmetry fromtack to tack But If not you will need toset things up differently on each tack
bull Are you going faster or slower thanthe waves downwind Figure out if thewaves are helping you (ie theyre goingfaster than you) or hurting you (yourefaster than them) Also do surfing condi-tions exist This is key to knowing if youare allowed to pump your sails Here arefurther explanations of some of theseconcepts

Key wave conceptsby David Dellenbaugh
bull Whats causing the waves The sizeand shape of waves will depend onwhether they are caused by wind currentor boats You could have smooth swellsfrom a storm far away steep chop when astrong breeze blows over shallow wateror when current flows against the windor random chop from motorboats in aspectator fleet
bull Are the waves the normal size thatyou would expect for the wind velocityFor various reasons the waves might belarger or smaller than normal (see below)This could have huge implications forsteering trimming and sailing the boat
Check for wave asymmetry When youre racing upwind are the waves equal on each tack They are usually similar on port andstarboard tacks because waves are created by the wind and therefore they come from that directionHowever this is not always the case Sometimes the waves are not perpendicular to the wind andthis can have a huge impact on the way you sail your boat
There are several reasons why waves may be different from tack to tack bull Windshifts - If the waves are at first aligned with the wind any change in wind direction will
make them unaligned (at least for a while)This is very common bull Presence of nearby land - If there is land to windward of the course it could affect how waves
move across the racing area bull A distant storm -When youre racing on the ocean there are often swells coming from a direc-
tion thats very different from your sailing wind bull Cross-current - If you have a strong current that is not aligned with the wind it often creates
waves that arent square to the wind When you first start sailing in your race area check to see if the waves are the same on each
tack If not make the appropriate sail trim adjustments For example you will have to make your sailsfuller and more twisted on the bumpier tack (which goes more directly into the waves) On the other(smoother) tack you may be able to trim your sails much flatter and tighter You can point higher onthis tack too and keep your weight a little farther forward
There are also strategic implications of wave asymmetry For example if port tack is smootherit might mean the wind has shifted to the right When wave asymmetry is caused by a persistentwindshift its better to sail the smoother tack first since that will take you in the direction where thewind is shifting
Motorboat waves It would be hard to run most sailboat raceswithout motorboats but it sure would be nice ifwe could run them without motorboat wakesUnfortunately waves from motorboats are afact of life in most racing venues and the goodsailors simply figure out how to handle them
Motorboat waves differ from wind gener-ated waves in several important ways They areoften steeper and closer together (and thereforecan potentially hurt your speed much more)Boat waves typically hit you at strange angles(rather than straight with the wind) And fortu-nately they usually come and go pretty quickly
The first rule for maintaining speedthrough waves is to hit them at an angle(instead of head on)This is normally worthdoing even if it requires a significant alteration inthe course you have been sailing In fact it mayeven make sense to tack or jibe so big waveshit your stern rather than your bow
The second rule of thumb for motorboatwaves is to make sure you are going fast justbefore you hit them In other words be proac-tive by bearing off (or heading up on a run)easing (or trimming) your sails moving weightaft etc Dont wait until the first wave hits youbefore making these changes
As I mentioned above you ideally want tohit motorboat waves at an oblique angle andfully powered up But sometimes you cant doboth When the waves are coming at you paral-lel to the wind you have to make a choice Itsusually better to hit waves at an angle even ifyou have to pinch up and lose a little speedThis seems better than bearing off for speedand hitting the waves head on
Waves relative to windIn any wind velocity there is a certain size andshape of waves that you normally see with thatamount of wind In a five-knot breeze forexample the water surface should be almosttotally flat In 18 knots of wind however youexpect to see fairly good-sized waves withwhitecaps
But as every sailor knows you dontalways get normal sea conditions You mightsee bigger or smaller waves than whats typicalfor that wind velocity and this will affect howyou set up and sail your boat
When Im racing I categorize the wavestate in three general ways
1) Normal waves for the wind 2) Morewind than waves and 3) More waves thanwind Heres a closer look at each
More wind than waves This is almost always a fun condition for sailing(unless youre trying to do a windy jibe) Itsgreat (or painting and speed and makes stay-ing in the groove pretty easy
Here are several times when you are like-ly to see this condition
bull A building breezemdashthe breeze is up butthe waves havent had time to build yet
bull An offshore breezemdashthe water is flatteras you get closer to land because there is lessfetch for the waves to build
bull Current flowing with the wind When you have more wind than waves
you can trim your sails flatter and harder thanyou normally would in that breeze You shouldsail most boats as flat as possible and go formaximum height (pointing)
More waves than wind This is almost always a tough condition for sail-ing (unless you are sailing downwind withenough breeze to surf) It makes finding thegroove difficult and it quickly separates thegood sailors from the rest
You will typically see this condition withbull A dying breezemdashthe breeze always
changes faster than the wave state bull An onshore breezemdashwhen the wind is
blowing toward the shore it usually has a longfetch for the waves to build
bull Current flowing against the wind bull Lots of motorboat wakes (the worst) When you have more waves than wind be
careful about trimming too hard or pointing toohigh Err on the side of twist power and footingso you keep going fast

Watch for leeway caused by waves Waves make sailboats go up and down and they also push boats to leeward
The difference between the course you steer and the course you make goodthrough the water is your leeway angle The size of this angle is a result of
many factors such as heel angle wind velocity boat design and waveheight Though leeway for racing boats is usually not more than a few
degrees it will get slightly larger as the waves get bigger The main place where you will notice leeway is in relationto fixed objects like marks Your laylines are wider for
example in waves so you must allow a little extra distance before tacking
One place where its easyto see how much the waves pushyou to leeward is at the starting lineWhen boats attempt to luff in place on the line
they often slide much farther to leeward thanthey think Thats one reason why there
is often a significant line sag when thewaves are big
Go fast upwindin waves
Except for those few times when youare able to ride a motorboat wake
coming from behind waves are neverhelpful when youre racing upwind Itsalways faster to sail in flatter water andthat should be your first rule of thumbon beats
Sailing fast in waves requires ateam effort that involves the drivertrimmers and the rest of the crew Youhave to look ahead for waves that arecoming shift gears and find the bestway to steer through them
There are three basic strategies fordealing with waves upwind You cansail directly through the waves steerover the waves or try to avoid thewaves More likely you will do somecombination of the above
Going straight through waves isusually the best option when the wavesare everywhere and too small to steeraround The bigger and heavier yourboat the more likely you are to takethis approach since its often impossibleor slow to turn your rudder for individ-ual waves
This is not a great option for biggerwaves but sometimes it is your onlychoice (eg when all the waves are bigand steep) In that case try to keep the
boat going a little faster than usual upthe beat The most costly mistake is tobe too slow when you hit a bad wave
Anticipation is important The keyto maintaining speed through badwaves is to shift gears before you get tothem That means you need enoughwarning to power up your sail planbefore the bow digs into the first wave
Steering over the waves is a goodidea when they are larger and spacedfarther apart and when going straightthrough them is slow The smaller andlighter your boat the more effectivethis is
The basic technique for sailingover waves is to head up on the frontside and bear off the back side In other
30 Visit Northern Breezes Online wwwsailingbreezescom - JuneJuly 2010
words luff toward the wind a little asyou go up the wave and then bear offaway from the wind as you go down theback side The steeper the wave and thefaster your speed over the waves themore sharply you will have to turn yourhelm and your boat
In boats that are light enough to beaffected by the positioning of crewweight combine the steering with arotational movement of your bodiesLean aft (and maybe in a little) as yougo up the wave Then lean out and for-ward as you go over the top and downthe back side
Avoiding waves is always the pre-ferred option This works well whenyou have identifiable areas of badwaves such as boat wakes or sets ofespecially large steep waves Sinceyou can never avoid all waves youmust use this in concert with otherways to sail through waves but thisstrategy should always be a part of yourupwind plan
The techniques that work best inwaves are often subtle enough that younever know how well they are workinguntil you measure your performanceagainst nearby boats So test your wavestrategy before the start and continue toevaluate it during the race If youre notfast change something and try again
Put your weight in the right places One of the reasons why waves make a boat gomore slowly is because they cause it to hobby-horse which disrupts the air flow around itssails and the water flow around its foils This isespecially harmful in lighter air
The main goal of positioning your weightin waves therefore should be to reduce hobby-horsing Keep your crew together as much aspossible and near the middle of the boat In lightair the ideal spot is right at the top of the keelsince that is the point around which the sailplan hull and foils pivot When conditions arebumpy and light its not unusual for crews to sitdown below on the cabin sole (in bigger boats)or to crouch down inside the cockpit (one-designs)This reduces the range of motion ofthe mast and keelcenterboard
In heavy air the crew cant be inside theboat of course Instead they should sit tightlytogether like the crew on the boat above Thefore-and-aft position of their weight depends onthe boat wind strength and wave shapeGenerally the crew should be at least slightlyfarther aft when its rough (than when its flatwith the same wind velocity) to keep the bowfrom plowing into waves
If youre racing upwind in waves and youthink your weight is positioned perfectly but youarent going fast try moving your crew a littlefarther apart Sometimes the boat doesnt clickwith the natural frequency of the wavesmdashbutdifferent crew spacing may improve this har-mony (and therefore your speed)
These waves are unusually large uniform and rounded on top so its not necessary tosteer around them very much The ideal course would be a gradual slight arc to windwardon the approaching face of the wave followed by a similar bearing off down the back side
How much to steer in wavesWhen youre sailing upwind waves will
always slow you down so you should avoidthem as much as possible (see below)However when you turn your rudder to steeraround waves the drag you create will alsomake you go slower Therefore you are alwayssearching for the optimal tradeoff betweenusing a lot of rudder and missing waves versususing less rudder and hitting waves
The only true way to judge whether youare doing a good (fast) job of this is by com-paring your performance to that of a nearbyboat Thats why its critical when you havewaves to train with another boat if possible andto tune up with a competitor before every raceWhile you are doing this try different steeringtechniques to see what is fastest in the unique
conditions that you have on any dayThe last thing you
want to do in awavy race is
to be look-ing for
the groove as you come off the starting line Several factors influence the tradeoff of
how aggressively you should steer (ie howquickly and how far you should turn the rud-der) Here are two important considerations
bull Size and shape of the waves - Are thewaves big small rounded or crested Howsteep and close together are they You donthave to steer much in small waves or even bigswells but medium-size waves can present atough challenge especially when theyre steepandor close together
bull Characteristics of your boat - Is yourboat large or small (relative to the waves) lightor heavy Does it turn easily Does it have anarrow bow that cuts easily through the wavesor a fat bow that slams into waves All thesefactors affect the tradeoff of hitting a wave ver-sus turning to miss it
One thing thats true for all boats andwaves is that when you turn the boat its bestto do this with as little rudder as possibleReduce drag by steering with sail trim and bodyweight For example use windward helm toallow the boat to carve its own turn to windwardon the front of the wave Then at the top of thewave hike out hard and ease the mainsheet ortraveler to help bear off down the back side Ifyou can turn the boat without so much dragthen the tradeoff moves in the direction of steer-ing to miss more waves

fine line between courage and foolhar-diness but that judgment comes fromexperience and education and I wasgetting plenty of both The reality isthat I am a much better sailor andinstructor for having followed the rulesPlus I had so much fun that I kept onsailing even after hitting the magicnumber of 360 and ended up with fivedays of overkill
In the off season I bought a studyguide and hit the books Candidateshave to pass written tests on Rules ofthe Road General NavigationCharting Deck Seamanship and SafetyHere my Navy experience was veryuseful as Uncle Sam had taught me alot of the material when I was trainingfor the submarine fleet Navigation andcharting hadnrsquot changed much since Ilearned them in the 1980s and much ofthe firefighting safety and deck sea-manship topics were also reviewAdditionally my ASA courses rein-forced some of the material includingthe Rules of the Road which required apassing score of 90 for all levels oflicenses I had originally planned tostudy on my own then I learned that Iwould have to travel to one of the CoastGuardrsquos 17 Regional ExaminationCenters (RECs) to take the tests The
nearest RECs to my Minneapolis homewere St Louis Missouri and ToledoOhio The other option was to take theexams at an authorized school and therewere a couple near the Twin Cities
So there I was in April of 2009 lis-tening to Captain Ted Gephart ownerof Superior Marine Training Therewere 15 students in the class mostlypower boaters from Minnesota andWisconsin although three of us weresailors and one student had traveledfrom Missouri Ted plowed through thehuge volume of material in the 60-hourclass with energy and humor Sometopics were dry and tedious such as theCode of Federal Regulations whileothers like marine weather were moreinteresting We covered Rules of theRoad every day until we could justabout recite the book Hands-ondemonstrations on life rafts and riggingblocks and tackles were useful andthere was plenty of charting practice tobreak up the textbook lessons Becausethe sea time for an OUPV and InlandMasters license were the same I decid-ed to upgrade Superior Marine offeredthe Masterrsquos course for an additionalfee and three more days of classesCaptain Ted also incorporated theAuxiliary Sail and Assistance Towing
material and exams into the Masterscourse so I got those endorsements tooHe even arranged for on-site drug test-ing and medical exams for those thatneeded them Tuition also includedindividual consultation on the applica-tion process supported by Tedrsquos 20-plus years of experience trainingprofessional mariners

Often I chat withboaters regarding a
wide range of boat-smarttopics fog being one Thattopic came to the forefrontafter a fog bank shroudedthe waters off Manisteeduring the Salmon Splash333 fishing TournamentThe captains I spoke withemphasized safety and situ-ational awareness whenoperating in fog in otherwords boat smart
Manisteersquos 2009Salmon Splash 333 Best ofthe Best boasted a $10000first-place price Needlessto say fog was not goingto deter anglers from pur-suing the grand prize evenit meant running in fogwhich they did on the sec-ond day of the tournament In all therewere 58 boats in the tournament
With that many boats picking theirway through the fog in close proximitythe chance for collisions seemed immi-nent yet none occurred or at least nonethat were reported Several captains Ispoke with told me they lost fishinglines severed when boats crossed theirstern ldquoBut that comes with the territo-ryrdquo said one captain referring to thefog especially when fishing linesextend well off the stern
What impressed me about theanglers I spoke with and the tourna-ment guidelines is that safety ruledMatthew Salerno and his brother Tonywho won the $10000 prize aboard theirboat Living a Dream told me they trollat about 25 knots with a forward look-out at all times Safety equipment isreadily at hand and the crew is familiarwith its use
Communicating with other tourna-ment boats is prohibited whether it bea cell phone or marine radio unless inthe event of an emergency These
anglers were literally on their own andalone in the fog ldquoWe kept our eyes onthe radar at all timesrdquo said MattSalerno Not all the boats howevercarried radar but still kept safe by fol-lowing a basic navigation rule
Rule 6 of the Navigation Rulesstates ldquoEvery vessel shall at all timesproceed at a safe speed so that she cantake proper and effective action toavoid collision and be stopped within adistance appropriate to the prevailingcircumstances and conditionsrdquo
One of the conditions addressed inthe rules is state of visibilityApparently these anglers some ofwhom were Coast Guard licensed cap-tains understood the rules and so com-plied However not all the boaters onthe lake that day
were part of the tournament norexercising boat smarts one such boaternearly slammed into one of the tourna-ment boats
ldquoWe were fishing a mile off BigPoint Sable in a hundred and thirty feetof water when out of the fog emerged

One of the crewmanaboard believes the boatoperator was not expect-ing to encounter in fog afleet of boats on LakeMichigan on a Thursdaymorning Thursday morn-ing or Saturday afternoonhas little to do with main-taining a proper lookoutand using all availablemeans to avoid a collisionin fog Also towing a
dinghy behind a boat in fog is not toobright Another boat could run over thetow line and foul its prop(s) or theboater pulling it might snag the towingline while backing down to avoid a col-lision
What I find disturbing about thisincident is that the tournament boaterswere using all means available toassure not only their own safety butthat of their fellow anglers Then alongcomes a boater who seems oblivious tothe safety of others or worse yet wasjust boat stupid
I suspect it is the latter untilboaters are required to boat smart thosethat do must keep a very sharp lookoutfog or not

Waves are like snowflakes No twoare exactly the same and therefore
you have to treat each one as a unique anddifferent entity The same is true in thebig picturemdashevery sequence of wavesyou face during a race will be at least alittle different from anything you haveever seen before So you must continual-ly work at finding the optimal paththrough the waves you face
When you get to the race course it ishelpful to ask a few questions to under-stand the waves and how they will affectyour race
bull Are the waves perpendicular to thewind direction If the waves are flowingin the same direction as the wind thenyou will generally have symmetry fromtack to tack But If not you will need toset things up differently on each tack
bull Are you going faster or slower thanthe waves downwind Figure out if thewaves are helping you (ie theyre goingfaster than you) or hurting you (yourefaster than them) Also do surfing condi-tions exist This is key to knowing if youare allowed to pump your sails Here arefurther explanations of some of theseconcepts

Key wave conceptsby David Dellenbaugh
bull Whats causing the waves The sizeand shape of waves will depend onwhether they are caused by wind currentor boats You could have smooth swellsfrom a storm far away steep chop when astrong breeze blows over shallow wateror when current flows against the windor random chop from motorboats in aspectator fleet
bull Are the waves the normal size thatyou would expect for the wind velocityFor various reasons the waves might belarger or smaller than normal (see below)This could have huge implications forsteering trimming and sailing the boat
Check for wave asymmetry When youre racing upwind are the waves equal on each tack They are usually similar on port andstarboard tacks because waves are created by the wind and therefore they come from that directionHowever this is not always the case Sometimes the waves are not perpendicular to the wind andthis can have a huge impact on the way you sail your boat
There are several reasons why waves may be different from tack to tack bull Windshifts - If the waves are at first aligned with the wind any change in wind direction will
make them unaligned (at least for a while)This is very common bull Presence of nearby land - If there is land to windward of the course it could affect how waves
move across the racing area bull A distant storm -When youre racing on the ocean there are often swells coming from a direc-
tion thats very different from your sailing wind bull Cross-current - If you have a strong current that is not aligned with the wind it often creates
waves that arent square to the wind When you first start sailing in your race area check to see if the waves are the same on each
tack If not make the appropriate sail trim adjustments For example you will have to make your sailsfuller and more twisted on the bumpier tack (which goes more directly into the waves) On the other(smoother) tack you may be able to trim your sails much flatter and tighter You can point higher onthis tack too and keep your weight a little farther forward
There are also strategic implications of wave asymmetry For example if port tack is smootherit might mean the wind has shifted to the right When wave asymmetry is caused by a persistentwindshift its better to sail the smoother tack first since that will take you in the direction where thewind is shifting
Motorboat waves It would be hard to run most sailboat raceswithout motorboats but it sure would be nice ifwe could run them without motorboat wakesUnfortunately waves from motorboats are afact of life in most racing venues and the goodsailors simply figure out how to handle them
Motorboat waves differ from wind gener-ated waves in several important ways They areoften steeper and closer together (and thereforecan potentially hurt your speed much more)Boat waves typically hit you at strange angles(rather than straight with the wind) And fortu-nately they usually come and go pretty quickly
The first rule for maintaining speedthrough waves is to hit them at an angle(instead of head on)This is normally worthdoing even if it requires a significant alteration inthe course you have been sailing In fact it mayeven make sense to tack or jibe so big waveshit your stern rather than your bow
The second rule of thumb for motorboatwaves is to make sure you are going fast justbefore you hit them In other words be proac-tive by bearing off (or heading up on a run)easing (or trimming) your sails moving weightaft etc Dont wait until the first wave hits youbefore making these changes
As I mentioned above you ideally want tohit motorboat waves at an oblique angle andfully powered up But sometimes you cant doboth When the waves are coming at you paral-lel to the wind you have to make a choice Itsusually better to hit waves at an angle even ifyou have to pinch up and lose a little speedThis seems better than bearing off for speedand hitting the waves head on
Waves relative to windIn any wind velocity there is a certain size andshape of waves that you normally see with thatamount of wind In a five-knot breeze forexample the water surface should be almosttotally flat In 18 knots of wind however youexpect to see fairly good-sized waves withwhitecaps
But as every sailor knows you dontalways get normal sea conditions You mightsee bigger or smaller waves than whats typicalfor that wind velocity and this will affect howyou set up and sail your boat
When Im racing I categorize the wavestate in three general ways
1) Normal waves for the wind 2) Morewind than waves and 3) More waves thanwind Heres a closer look at each
More wind than waves This is almost always a fun condition for sailing(unless youre trying to do a windy jibe) Itsgreat (or painting and speed and makes stay-ing in the groove pretty easy
Here are several times when you are like-ly to see this condition
bull A building breezemdashthe breeze is up butthe waves havent had time to build yet
bull An offshore breezemdashthe water is flatteras you get closer to land because there is lessfetch for the waves to build
bull Current flowing with the wind When you have more wind than waves
you can trim your sails flatter and harder thanyou normally would in that breeze You shouldsail most boats as flat as possible and go formaximum height (pointing)
More waves than wind This is almost always a tough condition for sail-ing (unless you are sailing downwind withenough breeze to surf) It makes finding thegroove difficult and it quickly separates thegood sailors from the rest
You will typically see this condition withbull A dying breezemdashthe breeze always
changes faster than the wave state bull An onshore breezemdashwhen the wind is
blowing toward the shore it usually has a longfetch for the waves to build
bull Current flowing against the wind bull Lots of motorboat wakes (the worst) When you have more waves than wind be
careful about trimming too hard or pointing toohigh Err on the side of twist power and footingso you keep going fast

Watch for leeway caused by waves Waves make sailboats go up and down and they also push boats to leeward
The difference between the course you steer and the course you make goodthrough the water is your leeway angle The size of this angle is a result of
many factors such as heel angle wind velocity boat design and waveheight Though leeway for racing boats is usually not more than a few
degrees it will get slightly larger as the waves get bigger The main place where you will notice leeway is in relationto fixed objects like marks Your laylines are wider for
example in waves so you must allow a little extra distance before tacking
One place where its easyto see how much the waves pushyou to leeward is at the starting lineWhen boats attempt to luff in place on the line
they often slide much farther to leeward thanthey think Thats one reason why there
is often a significant line sag when thewaves are big
Go fast upwindin waves
Except for those few times when youare able to ride a motorboat wake
coming from behind waves are neverhelpful when youre racing upwind Itsalways faster to sail in flatter water andthat should be your first rule of thumbon beats
Sailing fast in waves requires ateam effort that involves the drivertrimmers and the rest of the crew Youhave to look ahead for waves that arecoming shift gears and find the bestway to steer through them
There are three basic strategies fordealing with waves upwind You cansail directly through the waves steerover the waves or try to avoid thewaves More likely you will do somecombination of the above
Going straight through waves isusually the best option when the wavesare everywhere and too small to steeraround The bigger and heavier yourboat the more likely you are to takethis approach since its often impossibleor slow to turn your rudder for individ-ual waves
This is not a great option for biggerwaves but sometimes it is your onlychoice (eg when all the waves are bigand steep) In that case try to keep the
boat going a little faster than usual upthe beat The most costly mistake is tobe too slow when you hit a bad wave
Anticipation is important The keyto maintaining speed through badwaves is to shift gears before you get tothem That means you need enoughwarning to power up your sail planbefore the bow digs into the first wave
Steering over the waves is a goodidea when they are larger and spacedfarther apart and when going straightthrough them is slow The smaller andlighter your boat the more effectivethis is
The basic technique for sailingover waves is to head up on the frontside and bear off the back side In other
30 Visit Northern Breezes Online wwwsailingbreezescom - JuneJuly 2010
words luff toward the wind a little asyou go up the wave and then bear offaway from the wind as you go down theback side The steeper the wave and thefaster your speed over the waves themore sharply you will have to turn yourhelm and your boat
In boats that are light enough to beaffected by the positioning of crewweight combine the steering with arotational movement of your bodiesLean aft (and maybe in a little) as yougo up the wave Then lean out and for-ward as you go over the top and downthe back side
Avoiding waves is always the pre-ferred option This works well whenyou have identifiable areas of badwaves such as boat wakes or sets ofespecially large steep waves Sinceyou can never avoid all waves youmust use this in concert with otherways to sail through waves but thisstrategy should always be a part of yourupwind plan
The techniques that work best inwaves are often subtle enough that younever know how well they are workinguntil you measure your performanceagainst nearby boats So test your wavestrategy before the start and continue toevaluate it during the race If youre notfast change something and try again
Put your weight in the right places One of the reasons why waves make a boat gomore slowly is because they cause it to hobby-horse which disrupts the air flow around itssails and the water flow around its foils This isespecially harmful in lighter air
The main goal of positioning your weightin waves therefore should be to reduce hobby-horsing Keep your crew together as much aspossible and near the middle of the boat In lightair the ideal spot is right at the top of the keelsince that is the point around which the sailplan hull and foils pivot When conditions arebumpy and light its not unusual for crews to sitdown below on the cabin sole (in bigger boats)or to crouch down inside the cockpit (one-designs)This reduces the range of motion ofthe mast and keelcenterboard
In heavy air the crew cant be inside theboat of course Instead they should sit tightlytogether like the crew on the boat above Thefore-and-aft position of their weight depends onthe boat wind strength and wave shapeGenerally the crew should be at least slightlyfarther aft when its rough (than when its flatwith the same wind velocity) to keep the bowfrom plowing into waves
If youre racing upwind in waves and youthink your weight is positioned perfectly but youarent going fast try moving your crew a littlefarther apart Sometimes the boat doesnt clickwith the natural frequency of the wavesmdashbutdifferent crew spacing may improve this har-mony (and therefore your speed)
These waves are unusually large uniform and rounded on top so its not necessary tosteer around them very much The ideal course would be a gradual slight arc to windwardon the approaching face of the wave followed by a similar bearing off down the back side
How much to steer in wavesWhen youre sailing upwind waves will
always slow you down so you should avoidthem as much as possible (see below)However when you turn your rudder to steeraround waves the drag you create will alsomake you go slower Therefore you are alwayssearching for the optimal tradeoff betweenusing a lot of rudder and missing waves versususing less rudder and hitting waves
The only true way to judge whether youare doing a good (fast) job of this is by com-paring your performance to that of a nearbyboat Thats why its critical when you havewaves to train with another boat if possible andto tune up with a competitor before every raceWhile you are doing this try different steeringtechniques to see what is fastest in the unique
conditions that you have on any dayThe last thing you
want to do in awavy race is
to be look-ing for
the groove as you come off the starting line Several factors influence the tradeoff of
how aggressively you should steer (ie howquickly and how far you should turn the rud-der) Here are two important considerations
bull Size and shape of the waves - Are thewaves big small rounded or crested Howsteep and close together are they You donthave to steer much in small waves or even bigswells but medium-size waves can present atough challenge especially when theyre steepandor close together
bull Characteristics of your boat - Is yourboat large or small (relative to the waves) lightor heavy Does it turn easily Does it have anarrow bow that cuts easily through the wavesor a fat bow that slams into waves All thesefactors affect the tradeoff of hitting a wave ver-sus turning to miss it
One thing thats true for all boats andwaves is that when you turn the boat its bestto do this with as little rudder as possibleReduce drag by steering with sail trim and bodyweight For example use windward helm toallow the boat to carve its own turn to windwardon the front of the wave Then at the top of thewave hike out hard and ease the mainsheet ortraveler to help bear off down the back side Ifyou can turn the boat without so much dragthen the tradeoff moves in the direction of steer-ing to miss more waves

fine line between courage and foolhar-diness but that judgment comes fromexperience and education and I wasgetting plenty of both The reality isthat I am a much better sailor andinstructor for having followed the rulesPlus I had so much fun that I kept onsailing even after hitting the magicnumber of 360 and ended up with fivedays of overkill
In the off season I bought a studyguide and hit the books Candidateshave to pass written tests on Rules ofthe Road General NavigationCharting Deck Seamanship and SafetyHere my Navy experience was veryuseful as Uncle Sam had taught me alot of the material when I was trainingfor the submarine fleet Navigation andcharting hadnrsquot changed much since Ilearned them in the 1980s and much ofthe firefighting safety and deck sea-manship topics were also reviewAdditionally my ASA courses rein-forced some of the material includingthe Rules of the Road which required apassing score of 90 for all levels oflicenses I had originally planned tostudy on my own then I learned that Iwould have to travel to one of the CoastGuardrsquos 17 Regional ExaminationCenters (RECs) to take the tests The
nearest RECs to my Minneapolis homewere St Louis Missouri and ToledoOhio The other option was to take theexams at an authorized school and therewere a couple near the Twin Cities
So there I was in April of 2009 lis-tening to Captain Ted Gephart ownerof Superior Marine Training Therewere 15 students in the class mostlypower boaters from Minnesota andWisconsin although three of us weresailors and one student had traveledfrom Missouri Ted plowed through thehuge volume of material in the 60-hourclass with energy and humor Sometopics were dry and tedious such as theCode of Federal Regulations whileothers like marine weather were moreinteresting We covered Rules of theRoad every day until we could justabout recite the book Hands-ondemonstrations on life rafts and riggingblocks and tackles were useful andthere was plenty of charting practice tobreak up the textbook lessons Becausethe sea time for an OUPV and InlandMasters license were the same I decid-ed to upgrade Superior Marine offeredthe Masterrsquos course for an additionalfee and three more days of classesCaptain Ted also incorporated theAuxiliary Sail and Assistance Towing
material and exams into the Masterscourse so I got those endorsements tooHe even arranged for on-site drug test-ing and medical exams for those thatneeded them Tuition also includedindividual consultation on the applica-tion process supported by Tedrsquos 20-plus years of experience trainingprofessional mariners
I was slowly checking things offmy list A new brainchild of bureaucra-cy is the Department of HomelandSecurityrsquos Transportation WorkerIdentification Credential (TWIC)Originally conceived to control accessto secure areas of commercial ports itis now required for all licensed mer-chant mariners including Great Lakessailing instructors The TWIC is aphoto ID card with a chip containingbiometric and personal information Itrsquosimpressive and official-looking but itcost me $145 and a couple of trips to aRoseville Minnesota office park I alsoneeded to take an oath and get it nota-rized Three letters of recommendationwere required for new applicants frompeople (preferably not relatives) whocan attest to onersquos character and suit-ability for the duties of Captain orMaster Irsquom happy to say that it wasnrsquottoo hard to find three friends whothought I would make a good captain(Thanks Julia Brian and Thom)

Often I chat withboaters regarding a
wide range of boat-smarttopics fog being one Thattopic came to the forefrontafter a fog bank shroudedthe waters off Manisteeduring the Salmon Splash333 fishing TournamentThe captains I spoke withemphasized safety and situ-ational awareness whenoperating in fog in otherwords boat smart
Manisteersquos 2009Salmon Splash 333 Best ofthe Best boasted a $10000first-place price Needlessto say fog was not goingto deter anglers from pur-suing the grand prize evenit meant running in fogwhich they did on the sec-ond day of the tournament In all therewere 58 boats in the tournament
With that many boats picking theirway through the fog in close proximitythe chance for collisions seemed immi-nent yet none occurred or at least nonethat were reported Several captains Ispoke with told me they lost fishinglines severed when boats crossed theirstern ldquoBut that comes with the territo-ryrdquo said one captain referring to thefog especially when fishing linesextend well off the stern
What impressed me about theanglers I spoke with and the tourna-ment guidelines is that safety ruledMatthew Salerno and his brother Tonywho won the $10000 prize aboard theirboat Living a Dream told me they trollat about 25 knots with a forward look-out at all times Safety equipment isreadily at hand and the crew is familiarwith its use
Communicating with other tourna-ment boats is prohibited whether it bea cell phone or marine radio unless inthe event of an emergency These
anglers were literally on their own andalone in the fog ldquoWe kept our eyes onthe radar at all timesrdquo said MattSalerno Not all the boats howevercarried radar but still kept safe by fol-lowing a basic navigation rule
Rule 6 of the Navigation Rulesstates ldquoEvery vessel shall at all timesproceed at a safe speed so that she cantake proper and effective action toavoid collision and be stopped within adistance appropriate to the prevailingcircumstances and conditionsrdquo
One of the conditions addressed inthe rules is state of visibilityApparently these anglers some ofwhom were Coast Guard licensed cap-tains understood the rules and so com-plied However not all the boaters onthe lake that day
were part of the tournament norexercising boat smarts one such boaternearly slammed into one of the tourna-ment boats
ldquoWe were fishing a mile off BigPoint Sable in a hundred and thirty feetof water when out of the fog emerged
this 35-foot powerboatheading right at us pullinga dingy off its sternrdquo saidthe captain of the tourna-ment boat Katch-Me ldquoWewaved our arms andhollered as he bore downon usrdquo The captain figuresthe boat was travelingabout 15 knots
One of the crewmanaboard believes the boatoperator was not expect-ing to encounter in fog afleet of boats on LakeMichigan on a Thursdaymorning Thursday morn-ing or Saturday afternoonhas little to do with main-taining a proper lookoutand using all availablemeans to avoid a collisionin fog Also towing a
dinghy behind a boat in fog is not toobright Another boat could run over thetow line and foul its prop(s) or theboater pulling it might snag the towingline while backing down to avoid a col-lision
What I find disturbing about thisincident is that the tournament boaterswere using all means available toassure not only their own safety butthat of their fellow anglers Then alongcomes a boater who seems oblivious tothe safety of others or worse yet wasjust boat stupid
I suspect it is the latter untilboaters are required to boat smart thosethat do must keep a very sharp lookoutfog or not

Waves are like snowflakes No twoare exactly the same and therefore
you have to treat each one as a unique anddifferent entity The same is true in thebig picturemdashevery sequence of wavesyou face during a race will be at least alittle different from anything you haveever seen before So you must continual-ly work at finding the optimal paththrough the waves you face
When you get to the race course it ishelpful to ask a few questions to under-stand the waves and how they will affectyour race
bull Are the waves perpendicular to thewind direction If the waves are flowingin the same direction as the wind thenyou will generally have symmetry fromtack to tack But If not you will need toset things up differently on each tack
bull Are you going faster or slower thanthe waves downwind Figure out if thewaves are helping you (ie theyre goingfaster than you) or hurting you (yourefaster than them) Also do surfing condi-tions exist This is key to knowing if youare allowed to pump your sails Here arefurther explanations of some of theseconcepts

Key wave conceptsby David Dellenbaugh
bull Whats causing the waves The sizeand shape of waves will depend onwhether they are caused by wind currentor boats You could have smooth swellsfrom a storm far away steep chop when astrong breeze blows over shallow wateror when current flows against the windor random chop from motorboats in aspectator fleet
bull Are the waves the normal size thatyou would expect for the wind velocityFor various reasons the waves might belarger or smaller than normal (see below)This could have huge implications forsteering trimming and sailing the boat
Check for wave asymmetry When youre racing upwind are the waves equal on each tack They are usually similar on port andstarboard tacks because waves are created by the wind and therefore they come from that directionHowever this is not always the case Sometimes the waves are not perpendicular to the wind andthis can have a huge impact on the way you sail your boat
There are several reasons why waves may be different from tack to tack bull Windshifts - If the waves are at first aligned with the wind any change in wind direction will
make them unaligned (at least for a while)This is very common bull Presence of nearby land - If there is land to windward of the course it could affect how waves
move across the racing area bull A distant storm -When youre racing on the ocean there are often swells coming from a direc-
tion thats very different from your sailing wind bull Cross-current - If you have a strong current that is not aligned with the wind it often creates
waves that arent square to the wind When you first start sailing in your race area check to see if the waves are the same on each
tack If not make the appropriate sail trim adjustments For example you will have to make your sailsfuller and more twisted on the bumpier tack (which goes more directly into the waves) On the other(smoother) tack you may be able to trim your sails much flatter and tighter You can point higher onthis tack too and keep your weight a little farther forward
There are also strategic implications of wave asymmetry For example if port tack is smootherit might mean the wind has shifted to the right When wave asymmetry is caused by a persistentwindshift its better to sail the smoother tack first since that will take you in the direction where thewind is shifting
Motorboat waves It would be hard to run most sailboat raceswithout motorboats but it sure would be nice ifwe could run them without motorboat wakesUnfortunately waves from motorboats are afact of life in most racing venues and the goodsailors simply figure out how to handle them
Motorboat waves differ from wind gener-ated waves in several important ways They areoften steeper and closer together (and thereforecan potentially hurt your speed much more)Boat waves typically hit you at strange angles(rather than straight with the wind) And fortu-nately they usually come and go pretty quickly
The first rule for maintaining speedthrough waves is to hit them at an angle(instead of head on)This is normally worthdoing even if it requires a significant alteration inthe course you have been sailing In fact it mayeven make sense to tack or jibe so big waveshit your stern rather than your bow
The second rule of thumb for motorboatwaves is to make sure you are going fast justbefore you hit them In other words be proac-tive by bearing off (or heading up on a run)easing (or trimming) your sails moving weightaft etc Dont wait until the first wave hits youbefore making these changes
As I mentioned above you ideally want tohit motorboat waves at an oblique angle andfully powered up But sometimes you cant doboth When the waves are coming at you paral-lel to the wind you have to make a choice Itsusually better to hit waves at an angle even ifyou have to pinch up and lose a little speedThis seems better than bearing off for speedand hitting the waves head on
Waves relative to windIn any wind velocity there is a certain size andshape of waves that you normally see with thatamount of wind In a five-knot breeze forexample the water surface should be almosttotally flat In 18 knots of wind however youexpect to see fairly good-sized waves withwhitecaps
But as every sailor knows you dontalways get normal sea conditions You mightsee bigger or smaller waves than whats typicalfor that wind velocity and this will affect howyou set up and sail your boat
When Im racing I categorize the wavestate in three general ways
1) Normal waves for the wind 2) Morewind than waves and 3) More waves thanwind Heres a closer look at each
More wind than waves This is almost always a fun condition for sailing(unless youre trying to do a windy jibe) Itsgreat (or painting and speed and makes stay-ing in the groove pretty easy
Here are several times when you are like-ly to see this condition
bull A building breezemdashthe breeze is up butthe waves havent had time to build yet
bull An offshore breezemdashthe water is flatteras you get closer to land because there is lessfetch for the waves to build
bull Current flowing with the wind When you have more wind than waves
you can trim your sails flatter and harder thanyou normally would in that breeze You shouldsail most boats as flat as possible and go formaximum height (pointing)
More waves than wind This is almost always a tough condition for sail-ing (unless you are sailing downwind withenough breeze to surf) It makes finding thegroove difficult and it quickly separates thegood sailors from the rest
You will typically see this condition withbull A dying breezemdashthe breeze always
changes faster than the wave state bull An onshore breezemdashwhen the wind is
blowing toward the shore it usually has a longfetch for the waves to build
bull Current flowing against the wind bull Lots of motorboat wakes (the worst) When you have more waves than wind be
careful about trimming too hard or pointing toohigh Err on the side of twist power and footingso you keep going fast

Watch for leeway caused by waves Waves make sailboats go up and down and they also push boats to leeward
The difference between the course you steer and the course you make goodthrough the water is your leeway angle The size of this angle is a result of
many factors such as heel angle wind velocity boat design and waveheight Though leeway for racing boats is usually not more than a few
degrees it will get slightly larger as the waves get bigger The main place where you will notice leeway is in relationto fixed objects like marks Your laylines are wider for
example in waves so you must allow a little extra distance before tacking
One place where its easyto see how much the waves pushyou to leeward is at the starting lineWhen boats attempt to luff in place on the line
they often slide much farther to leeward thanthey think Thats one reason why there
is often a significant line sag when thewaves are big
Go fast upwindin waves
Except for those few times when youare able to ride a motorboat wake
coming from behind waves are neverhelpful when youre racing upwind Itsalways faster to sail in flatter water andthat should be your first rule of thumbon beats
Sailing fast in waves requires ateam effort that involves the drivertrimmers and the rest of the crew Youhave to look ahead for waves that arecoming shift gears and find the bestway to steer through them
There are three basic strategies fordealing with waves upwind You cansail directly through the waves steerover the waves or try to avoid thewaves More likely you will do somecombination of the above
Going straight through waves isusually the best option when the wavesare everywhere and too small to steeraround The bigger and heavier yourboat the more likely you are to takethis approach since its often impossibleor slow to turn your rudder for individ-ual waves
This is not a great option for biggerwaves but sometimes it is your onlychoice (eg when all the waves are bigand steep) In that case try to keep the
boat going a little faster than usual upthe beat The most costly mistake is tobe too slow when you hit a bad wave
Anticipation is important The keyto maintaining speed through badwaves is to shift gears before you get tothem That means you need enoughwarning to power up your sail planbefore the bow digs into the first wave
Steering over the waves is a goodidea when they are larger and spacedfarther apart and when going straightthrough them is slow The smaller andlighter your boat the more effectivethis is
The basic technique for sailingover waves is to head up on the frontside and bear off the back side In other
30 Visit Northern Breezes Online wwwsailingbreezescom - JuneJuly 2010
words luff toward the wind a little asyou go up the wave and then bear offaway from the wind as you go down theback side The steeper the wave and thefaster your speed over the waves themore sharply you will have to turn yourhelm and your boat
In boats that are light enough to beaffected by the positioning of crewweight combine the steering with arotational movement of your bodiesLean aft (and maybe in a little) as yougo up the wave Then lean out and for-ward as you go over the top and downthe back side
Avoiding waves is always the pre-ferred option This works well whenyou have identifiable areas of badwaves such as boat wakes or sets ofespecially large steep waves Sinceyou can never avoid all waves youmust use this in concert with otherways to sail through waves but thisstrategy should always be a part of yourupwind plan
The techniques that work best inwaves are often subtle enough that younever know how well they are workinguntil you measure your performanceagainst nearby boats So test your wavestrategy before the start and continue toevaluate it during the race If youre notfast change something and try again
Put your weight in the right places One of the reasons why waves make a boat gomore slowly is because they cause it to hobby-horse which disrupts the air flow around itssails and the water flow around its foils This isespecially harmful in lighter air
The main goal of positioning your weightin waves therefore should be to reduce hobby-horsing Keep your crew together as much aspossible and near the middle of the boat In lightair the ideal spot is right at the top of the keelsince that is the point around which the sailplan hull and foils pivot When conditions arebumpy and light its not unusual for crews to sitdown below on the cabin sole (in bigger boats)or to crouch down inside the cockpit (one-designs)This reduces the range of motion ofthe mast and keelcenterboard
In heavy air the crew cant be inside theboat of course Instead they should sit tightlytogether like the crew on the boat above Thefore-and-aft position of their weight depends onthe boat wind strength and wave shapeGenerally the crew should be at least slightlyfarther aft when its rough (than when its flatwith the same wind velocity) to keep the bowfrom plowing into waves
If youre racing upwind in waves and youthink your weight is positioned perfectly but youarent going fast try moving your crew a littlefarther apart Sometimes the boat doesnt clickwith the natural frequency of the wavesmdashbutdifferent crew spacing may improve this har-mony (and therefore your speed)
These waves are unusually large uniform and rounded on top so its not necessary tosteer around them very much The ideal course would be a gradual slight arc to windwardon the approaching face of the wave followed by a similar bearing off down the back side
How much to steer in wavesWhen youre sailing upwind waves will
always slow you down so you should avoidthem as much as possible (see below)However when you turn your rudder to steeraround waves the drag you create will alsomake you go slower Therefore you are alwayssearching for the optimal tradeoff betweenusing a lot of rudder and missing waves versususing less rudder and hitting waves
The only true way to judge whether youare doing a good (fast) job of this is by com-paring your performance to that of a nearbyboat Thats why its critical when you havewaves to train with another boat if possible andto tune up with a competitor before every raceWhile you are doing this try different steeringtechniques to see what is fastest in the unique
conditions that you have on any dayThe last thing you
want to do in awavy race is
to be look-ing for
the groove as you come off the starting line Several factors influence the tradeoff of
how aggressively you should steer (ie howquickly and how far you should turn the rud-der) Here are two important considerations
bull Size and shape of the waves - Are thewaves big small rounded or crested Howsteep and close together are they You donthave to steer much in small waves or even bigswells but medium-size waves can present atough challenge especially when theyre steepandor close together
bull Characteristics of your boat - Is yourboat large or small (relative to the waves) lightor heavy Does it turn easily Does it have anarrow bow that cuts easily through the wavesor a fat bow that slams into waves All thesefactors affect the tradeoff of hitting a wave ver-sus turning to miss it
One thing thats true for all boats andwaves is that when you turn the boat its bestto do this with as little rudder as possibleReduce drag by steering with sail trim and bodyweight For example use windward helm toallow the boat to carve its own turn to windwardon the front of the wave Then at the top of thewave hike out hard and ease the mainsheet ortraveler to help bear off down the back side Ifyou can turn the boat without so much dragthen the tradeoff moves in the direction of steer-ing to miss more waves

fine line between courage and foolhar-diness but that judgment comes fromexperience and education and I wasgetting plenty of both The reality isthat I am a much better sailor andinstructor for having followed the rulesPlus I had so much fun that I kept onsailing even after hitting the magicnumber of 360 and ended up with fivedays of overkill
In the off season I bought a studyguide and hit the books Candidateshave to pass written tests on Rules ofthe Road General NavigationCharting Deck Seamanship and SafetyHere my Navy experience was veryuseful as Uncle Sam had taught me alot of the material when I was trainingfor the submarine fleet Navigation andcharting hadnrsquot changed much since Ilearned them in the 1980s and much ofthe firefighting safety and deck sea-manship topics were also reviewAdditionally my ASA courses rein-forced some of the material includingthe Rules of the Road which required apassing score of 90 for all levels oflicenses I had originally planned tostudy on my own then I learned that Iwould have to travel to one of the CoastGuardrsquos 17 Regional ExaminationCenters (RECs) to take the tests The
nearest RECs to my Minneapolis homewere St Louis Missouri and ToledoOhio The other option was to take theexams at an authorized school and therewere a couple near the Twin Cities
So there I was in April of 2009 lis-tening to Captain Ted Gephart ownerof Superior Marine Training Therewere 15 students in the class mostlypower boaters from Minnesota andWisconsin although three of us weresailors and one student had traveledfrom Missouri Ted plowed through thehuge volume of material in the 60-hourclass with energy and humor Sometopics were dry and tedious such as theCode of Federal Regulations whileothers like marine weather were moreinteresting We covered Rules of theRoad every day until we could justabout recite the book Hands-ondemonstrations on life rafts and riggingblocks and tackles were useful andthere was plenty of charting practice tobreak up the textbook lessons Becausethe sea time for an OUPV and InlandMasters license were the same I decid-ed to upgrade Superior Marine offeredthe Masterrsquos course for an additionalfee and three more days of classesCaptain Ted also incorporated theAuxiliary Sail and Assistance Towing
material and exams into the Masterscourse so I got those endorsements tooHe even arranged for on-site drug test-ing and medical exams for those thatneeded them Tuition also includedindividual consultation on the applica-tion process supported by Tedrsquos 20-plus years of experience trainingprofessional mariners
I was slowly checking things offmy list A new brainchild of bureaucra-cy is the Department of HomelandSecurityrsquos Transportation WorkerIdentification Credential (TWIC)Originally conceived to control accessto secure areas of commercial ports itis now required for all licensed mer-chant mariners including Great Lakessailing instructors The TWIC is aphoto ID card with a chip containingbiometric and personal information Itrsquosimpressive and official-looking but itcost me $145 and a couple of trips to aRoseville Minnesota office park I alsoneeded to take an oath and get it nota-rized Three letters of recommendationwere required for new applicants frompeople (preferably not relatives) whocan attest to onersquos character and suit-ability for the duties of Captain orMaster Irsquom happy to say that it wasnrsquottoo hard to find three friends whothought I would make a good captain(Thanks Julia Brian and Thom)
When the sailboats were hauled outin October it was time to assemble myapplication and send it in I applied fora 50-ton Masterrsquos license I had origi-nally wanted a 100-ton ticket but youneeded 90 days of service on vessels of51 gross tons or higher or 180 days onvessels over 334 tons according to therules For a 50-ton license only oneday on a vessel larger than five tons isrequired Interestingly a Coast Guardton is based on interior volume not dis-placement

Often I chat withboaters regarding a
wide range of boat-smarttopics fog being one Thattopic came to the forefrontafter a fog bank shroudedthe waters off Manisteeduring the Salmon Splash333 fishing TournamentThe captains I spoke withemphasized safety and situ-ational awareness whenoperating in fog in otherwords boat smart
Manisteersquos 2009Salmon Splash 333 Best ofthe Best boasted a $10000first-place price Needlessto say fog was not goingto deter anglers from pur-suing the grand prize evenit meant running in fogwhich they did on the sec-ond day of the tournament In all therewere 58 boats in the tournament
With that many boats picking theirway through the fog in close proximitythe chance for collisions seemed immi-nent yet none occurred or at least nonethat were reported Several captains Ispoke with told me they lost fishinglines severed when boats crossed theirstern ldquoBut that comes with the territo-ryrdquo said one captain referring to thefog especially when fishing linesextend well off the stern
What impressed me about theanglers I spoke with and the tourna-ment guidelines is that safety ruledMatthew Salerno and his brother Tonywho won the $10000 prize aboard theirboat Living a Dream told me they trollat about 25 knots with a forward look-out at all times Safety equipment isreadily at hand and the crew is familiarwith its use
Communicating with other tourna-ment boats is prohibited whether it bea cell phone or marine radio unless inthe event of an emergency These
anglers were literally on their own andalone in the fog ldquoWe kept our eyes onthe radar at all timesrdquo said MattSalerno Not all the boats howevercarried radar but still kept safe by fol-lowing a basic navigation rule
Rule 6 of the Navigation Rulesstates ldquoEvery vessel shall at all timesproceed at a safe speed so that she cantake proper and effective action toavoid collision and be stopped within adistance appropriate to the prevailingcircumstances and conditionsrdquo
One of the conditions addressed inthe rules is state of visibilityApparently these anglers some ofwhom were Coast Guard licensed cap-tains understood the rules and so com-plied However not all the boaters onthe lake that day
were part of the tournament norexercising boat smarts one such boaternearly slammed into one of the tourna-ment boats
ldquoWe were fishing a mile off BigPoint Sable in a hundred and thirty feetof water when out of the fog emerged
this 35-foot powerboatheading right at us pullinga dingy off its sternrdquo saidthe captain of the tourna-ment boat Katch-Me ldquoWewaved our arms andhollered as he bore downon usrdquo The captain figuresthe boat was travelingabout 15 knots
One of the crewmanaboard believes the boatoperator was not expect-ing to encounter in fog afleet of boats on LakeMichigan on a Thursdaymorning Thursday morn-ing or Saturday afternoonhas little to do with main-taining a proper lookoutand using all availablemeans to avoid a collisionin fog Also towing a
dinghy behind a boat in fog is not toobright Another boat could run over thetow line and foul its prop(s) or theboater pulling it might snag the towingline while backing down to avoid a col-lision
What I find disturbing about thisincident is that the tournament boaterswere using all means available toassure not only their own safety butthat of their fellow anglers Then alongcomes a boater who seems oblivious tothe safety of others or worse yet wasjust boat stupid
I suspect it is the latter untilboaters are required to boat smart thosethat do must keep a very sharp lookoutfog or not

Waves are like snowflakes No twoare exactly the same and therefore
you have to treat each one as a unique anddifferent entity The same is true in thebig picturemdashevery sequence of wavesyou face during a race will be at least alittle different from anything you haveever seen before So you must continual-ly work at finding the optimal paththrough the waves you face
When you get to the race course it ishelpful to ask a few questions to under-stand the waves and how they will affectyour race
bull Are the waves perpendicular to thewind direction If the waves are flowingin the same direction as the wind thenyou will generally have symmetry fromtack to tack But If not you will need toset things up differently on each tack
bull Are you going faster or slower thanthe waves downwind Figure out if thewaves are helping you (ie theyre goingfaster than you) or hurting you (yourefaster than them) Also do surfing condi-tions exist This is key to knowing if youare allowed to pump your sails Here arefurther explanations of some of theseconcepts
28 Visit Northern Breezes Online wwwsailingbreezescom - JuneJuly 2010
Key wave conceptsby David Dellenbaugh
bull Whats causing the waves The sizeand shape of waves will depend onwhether they are caused by wind currentor boats You could have smooth swellsfrom a storm far away steep chop when astrong breeze blows over shallow wateror when current flows against the windor random chop from motorboats in aspectator fleet
bull Are the waves the normal size thatyou would expect for the wind velocityFor various reasons the waves might belarger or smaller than normal (see below)This could have huge implications forsteering trimming and sailing the boat
Check for wave asymmetry When youre racing upwind are the waves equal on each tack They are usually similar on port andstarboard tacks because waves are created by the wind and therefore they come from that directionHowever this is not always the case Sometimes the waves are not perpendicular to the wind andthis can have a huge impact on the way you sail your boat
There are several reasons why waves may be different from tack to tack bull Windshifts - If the waves are at first aligned with the wind any change in wind direction will
make them unaligned (at least for a while)This is very common bull Presence of nearby land - If there is land to windward of the course it could affect how waves
move across the racing area bull A distant storm -When youre racing on the ocean there are often swells coming from a direc-
tion thats very different from your sailing wind bull Cross-current - If you have a strong current that is not aligned with the wind it often creates
waves that arent square to the wind When you first start sailing in your race area check to see if the waves are the same on each
tack If not make the appropriate sail trim adjustments For example you will have to make your sailsfuller and more twisted on the bumpier tack (which goes more directly into the waves) On the other(smoother) tack you may be able to trim your sails much flatter and tighter You can point higher onthis tack too and keep your weight a little farther forward
There are also strategic implications of wave asymmetry For example if port tack is smootherit might mean the wind has shifted to the right When wave asymmetry is caused by a persistentwindshift its better to sail the smoother tack first since that will take you in the direction where thewind is shifting
Motorboat waves It would be hard to run most sailboat raceswithout motorboats but it sure would be nice ifwe could run them without motorboat wakesUnfortunately waves from motorboats are afact of life in most racing venues and the goodsailors simply figure out how to handle them
Motorboat waves differ from wind gener-ated waves in several important ways They areoften steeper and closer together (and thereforecan potentially hurt your speed much more)Boat waves typically hit you at strange angles(rather than straight with the wind) And fortu-nately they usually come and go pretty quickly
The first rule for maintaining speedthrough waves is to hit them at an angle(instead of head on)This is normally worthdoing even if it requires a significant alteration inthe course you have been sailing In fact it mayeven make sense to tack or jibe so big waveshit your stern rather than your bow
The second rule of thumb for motorboatwaves is to make sure you are going fast justbefore you hit them In other words be proac-tive by bearing off (or heading up on a run)easing (or trimming) your sails moving weightaft etc Dont wait until the first wave hits youbefore making these changes
As I mentioned above you ideally want tohit motorboat waves at an oblique angle andfully powered up But sometimes you cant doboth When the waves are coming at you paral-lel to the wind you have to make a choice Itsusually better to hit waves at an angle even ifyou have to pinch up and lose a little speedThis seems better than bearing off for speedand hitting the waves head on
Waves relative to windIn any wind velocity there is a certain size andshape of waves that you normally see with thatamount of wind In a five-knot breeze forexample the water surface should be almosttotally flat In 18 knots of wind however youexpect to see fairly good-sized waves withwhitecaps
But as every sailor knows you dontalways get normal sea conditions You mightsee bigger or smaller waves than whats typicalfor that wind velocity and this will affect howyou set up and sail your boat
When Im racing I categorize the wavestate in three general ways
1) Normal waves for the wind 2) Morewind than waves and 3) More waves thanwind Heres a closer look at each
More wind than waves This is almost always a fun condition for sailing(unless youre trying to do a windy jibe) Itsgreat (or painting and speed and makes stay-ing in the groove pretty easy
Here are several times when you are like-ly to see this condition
bull A building breezemdashthe breeze is up butthe waves havent had time to build yet
bull An offshore breezemdashthe water is flatteras you get closer to land because there is lessfetch for the waves to build
bull Current flowing with the wind When you have more wind than waves
you can trim your sails flatter and harder thanyou normally would in that breeze You shouldsail most boats as flat as possible and go formaximum height (pointing)
More waves than wind This is almost always a tough condition for sail-ing (unless you are sailing downwind withenough breeze to surf) It makes finding thegroove difficult and it quickly separates thegood sailors from the rest
You will typically see this condition withbull A dying breezemdashthe breeze always
changes faster than the wave state bull An onshore breezemdashwhen the wind is
blowing toward the shore it usually has a longfetch for the waves to build
bull Current flowing against the wind bull Lots of motorboat wakes (the worst) When you have more waves than wind be
careful about trimming too hard or pointing toohigh Err on the side of twist power and footingso you keep going fast

Watch for leeway caused by waves Waves make sailboats go up and down and they also push boats to leeward
The difference between the course you steer and the course you make goodthrough the water is your leeway angle The size of this angle is a result of
many factors such as heel angle wind velocity boat design and waveheight Though leeway for racing boats is usually not more than a few
degrees it will get slightly larger as the waves get bigger The main place where you will notice leeway is in relationto fixed objects like marks Your laylines are wider for
example in waves so you must allow a little extra distance before tacking
One place where its easyto see how much the waves pushyou to leeward is at the starting lineWhen boats attempt to luff in place on the line
they often slide much farther to leeward thanthey think Thats one reason why there
is often a significant line sag when thewaves are big
Go fast upwindin waves
Except for those few times when youare able to ride a motorboat wake
coming from behind waves are neverhelpful when youre racing upwind Itsalways faster to sail in flatter water andthat should be your first rule of thumbon beats
Sailing fast in waves requires ateam effort that involves the drivertrimmers and the rest of the crew Youhave to look ahead for waves that arecoming shift gears and find the bestway to steer through them
There are three basic strategies fordealing with waves upwind You cansail directly through the waves steerover the waves or try to avoid thewaves More likely you will do somecombination of the above
Going straight through waves isusually the best option when the wavesare everywhere and too small to steeraround The bigger and heavier yourboat the more likely you are to takethis approach since its often impossibleor slow to turn your rudder for individ-ual waves
This is not a great option for biggerwaves but sometimes it is your onlychoice (eg when all the waves are bigand steep) In that case try to keep the
boat going a little faster than usual upthe beat The most costly mistake is tobe too slow when you hit a bad wave
Anticipation is important The keyto maintaining speed through badwaves is to shift gears before you get tothem That means you need enoughwarning to power up your sail planbefore the bow digs into the first wave
Steering over the waves is a goodidea when they are larger and spacedfarther apart and when going straightthrough them is slow The smaller andlighter your boat the more effectivethis is
The basic technique for sailingover waves is to head up on the frontside and bear off the back side In other

words luff toward the wind a little asyou go up the wave and then bear offaway from the wind as you go down theback side The steeper the wave and thefaster your speed over the waves themore sharply you will have to turn yourhelm and your boat
In boats that are light enough to beaffected by the positioning of crewweight combine the steering with arotational movement of your bodiesLean aft (and maybe in a little) as yougo up the wave Then lean out and for-ward as you go over the top and downthe back side
Avoiding waves is always the pre-ferred option This works well whenyou have identifiable areas of badwaves such as boat wakes or sets ofespecially large steep waves Sinceyou can never avoid all waves youmust use this in concert with otherways to sail through waves but thisstrategy should always be a part of yourupwind plan
The techniques that work best inwaves are often subtle enough that younever know how well they are workinguntil you measure your performanceagainst nearby boats So test your wavestrategy before the start and continue toevaluate it during the race If youre notfast change something and try again
Put your weight in the right places One of the reasons why waves make a boat gomore slowly is because they cause it to hobby-horse which disrupts the air flow around itssails and the water flow around its foils This isespecially harmful in lighter air
The main goal of positioning your weightin waves therefore should be to reduce hobby-horsing Keep your crew together as much aspossible and near the middle of the boat In lightair the ideal spot is right at the top of the keelsince that is the point around which the sailplan hull and foils pivot When conditions arebumpy and light its not unusual for crews to sitdown below on the cabin sole (in bigger boats)or to crouch down inside the cockpit (one-designs)This reduces the range of motion ofthe mast and keelcenterboard
In heavy air the crew cant be inside theboat of course Instead they should sit tightlytogether like the crew on the boat above Thefore-and-aft position of their weight depends onthe boat wind strength and wave shapeGenerally the crew should be at least slightlyfarther aft when its rough (than when its flatwith the same wind velocity) to keep the bowfrom plowing into waves
If youre racing upwind in waves and youthink your weight is positioned perfectly but youarent going fast try moving your crew a littlefarther apart Sometimes the boat doesnt clickwith the natural frequency of the wavesmdashbutdifferent crew spacing may improve this har-mony (and therefore your speed)
These waves are unusually large uniform and rounded on top so its not necessary tosteer around them very much The ideal course would be a gradual slight arc to windwardon the approaching face of the wave followed by a similar bearing off down the back side
How much to steer in wavesWhen youre sailing upwind waves will
always slow you down so you should avoidthem as much as possible (see below)However when you turn your rudder to steeraround waves the drag you create will alsomake you go slower Therefore you are alwayssearching for the optimal tradeoff betweenusing a lot of rudder and missing waves versususing less rudder and hitting waves
The only true way to judge whether youare doing a good (fast) job of this is by com-paring your performance to that of a nearbyboat Thats why its critical when you havewaves to train with another boat if possible andto tune up with a competitor before every raceWhile you are doing this try different steeringtechniques to see what is fastest in the unique
conditions that you have on any dayThe last thing you
want to do in awavy race is
to be look-ing for
the groove as you come off the starting line Several factors influence the tradeoff of
how aggressively you should steer (ie howquickly and how far you should turn the rud-der) Here are two important considerations
bull Size and shape of the waves - Are thewaves big small rounded or crested Howsteep and close together are they You donthave to steer much in small waves or even bigswells but medium-size waves can present atough challenge especially when theyre steepandor close together
bull Characteristics of your boat - Is yourboat large or small (relative to the waves) lightor heavy Does it turn easily Does it have anarrow bow that cuts easily through the wavesor a fat bow that slams into waves All thesefactors affect the tradeoff of hitting a wave ver-sus turning to miss it
One thing thats true for all boats andwaves is that when you turn the boat its bestto do this with as little rudder as possibleReduce drag by steering with sail trim and bodyweight For example use windward helm toallow the boat to carve its own turn to windwardon the front of the wave Then at the top of thewave hike out hard and ease the mainsheet ortraveler to help bear off down the back side Ifyou can turn the boat without so much dragthen the tradeoff moves in the direction of steer-ing to miss more waves

Clean Vessel Act GrantsHelp Marinas Keep WatersClean and Healthy
US Fish and Wildlife Service actingDirector Rowan Gould announced
on May 7 2010 $128 million will beawarded to 31 states under the CleanVessel Act grant program in 2010 Thegrants will be used to fund the construc-tion and installation of sewage pumpoutfacilities and floating restrooms to pur-chase pumpout boats and to provide edu-cational programs for recreationalboaters as they have been since the pro-grams inception in the early 1990s
Clean Vessel Act funding supportsthe construction of facilities in communi-ties that depend largely on recreationalboating for their economy - and dependon clean water for their health and thehealth of their environment said GouldIn a time of economic uncertainty thesegrants also provide an immediate invest-ment in construction jobs and infrastruc-ture that provide lasting value for recre-ational boaters state agencies and localcommunities
To date the program - administeredby the US Fish and Wildlife Service -has awarded more than $172 million tostates to install thousands of sewagepumpout stations In addition manystates now rely upon mobile sewagepumpout boats to make the sewage col-lection process more efficient and con-venient for boaters A number of statesalso have begun installing floating rest-rooms and pumpout stations in high useareas of lakes and coastal waters
Funding for the CVA program comesfrom the Sport Fishing and Boating TrustFund formerly known as the Aquatic

Resources Trust Fund which is support-ed by excise taxes levied on certain fish-ing and boating equipment and boat fuels
Some of the major grant programawards made today include the follow-ing
Indiana $189345 - The IndianaDepartment of EnvironmentalManagement plans to increase the num-ber of pumpout stations at a number ofmarinas and increase awareness of theClean Vessel Act The Department willalso encourage marinas to increase publicawareness about the importance ofboaters adhering to acceptable sewagedisposal
Wisconsin $105000 - TheWisconsin Department of NaturalResources will provide financial assis-tance awards for the construction orreplacement of sanitary pumpout andwaste reception facilities along coastalwaters of Wisconsin Wisconsin will con-tinue educational efforts to improvepumpout and waste reception facility useby improving communications with mari-na operators

Often I chat withboaters regarding a
wide range of boat-smarttopics fog being one Thattopic came to the forefrontafter a fog bank shroudedthe waters off Manisteeduring the Salmon Splash333 fishing TournamentThe captains I spoke withemphasized safety and situ-ational awareness whenoperating in fog in otherwords boat smart
Manisteersquos 2009Salmon Splash 333 Best ofthe Best boasted a $10000first-place price Needlessto say fog was not goingto deter anglers from pur-suing the grand prize evenit meant running in fogwhich they did on the sec-ond day of the tournament In all therewere 58 boats in the tournament
With that many boats picking theirway through the fog in close proximitythe chance for collisions seemed immi-nent yet none occurred or at least nonethat were reported Several captains Ispoke with told me they lost fishinglines severed when boats crossed theirstern ldquoBut that comes with the territo-ryrdquo said one captain referring to thefog especially when fishing linesextend well off the stern
What impressed me about theanglers I spoke with and the tourna-ment guidelines is that safety ruledMatthew Salerno and his brother Tonywho won the $10000 prize aboard theirboat Living a Dream told me they trollat about 25 knots with a forward look-out at all times Safety equipment isreadily at hand and the crew is familiarwith its use
Communicating with other tourna-ment boats is prohibited whether it bea cell phone or marine radio unless inthe event of an emergency These
anglers were literally on their own andalone in the fog ldquoWe kept our eyes onthe radar at all timesrdquo said MattSalerno Not all the boats howevercarried radar but still kept safe by fol-lowing a basic navigation rule
Rule 6 of the Navigation Rulesstates ldquoEvery vessel shall at all timesproceed at a safe speed so that she cantake proper and effective action toavoid collision and be stopped within adistance appropriate to the prevailingcircumstances and conditionsrdquo
One of the conditions addressed inthe rules is state of visibilityApparently these anglers some ofwhom were Coast Guard licensed cap-tains understood the rules and so com-plied However not all the boaters onthe lake that day
were part of the tournament norexercising boat smarts one such boaternearly slammed into one of the tourna-ment boats
ldquoWe were fishing a mile off BigPoint Sable in a hundred and thirty feetof water when out of the fog emerged
this 35-foot powerboatheading right at us pullinga dingy off its sternrdquo saidthe captain of the tourna-ment boat Katch-Me ldquoWewaved our arms andhollered as he bore downon usrdquo The captain figuresthe boat was travelingabout 15 knots
One of the crewmanaboard believes the boatoperator was not expect-ing to encounter in fog afleet of boats on LakeMichigan on a Thursdaymorning Thursday morn-ing or Saturday afternoonhas little to do with main-taining a proper lookoutand using all availablemeans to avoid a collisionin fog Also towing a
dinghy behind a boat in fog is not toobright Another boat could run over thetow line and foul its prop(s) or theboater pulling it might snag the towingline while backing down to avoid a col-lision
What I find disturbing about thisincident is that the tournament boaterswere using all means available toassure not only their own safety butthat of their fellow anglers Then alongcomes a boater who seems oblivious tothe safety of others or worse yet wasjust boat stupid
I suspect it is the latter untilboaters are required to boat smart thosethat do must keep a very sharp lookoutfog or not

Waves are like snowflakes No twoare exactly the same and therefore
you have to treat each one as a unique anddifferent entity The same is true in thebig picturemdashevery sequence of wavesyou face during a race will be at least alittle different from anything you haveever seen before So you must continual-ly work at finding the optimal paththrough the waves you face
When you get to the race course it ishelpful to ask a few questions to under-stand the waves and how they will affectyour race
bull Are the waves perpendicular to thewind direction If the waves are flowingin the same direction as the wind thenyou will generally have symmetry fromtack to tack But If not you will need toset things up differently on each tack
bull Are you going faster or slower thanthe waves downwind Figure out if thewaves are helping you (ie theyre goingfaster than you) or hurting you (yourefaster than them) Also do surfing condi-tions exist This is key to knowing if youare allowed to pump your sails Here arefurther explanations of some of theseconcepts

Key wave conceptsby David Dellenbaugh
bull Whats causing the waves The sizeand shape of waves will depend onwhether they are caused by wind currentor boats You could have smooth swellsfrom a storm far away steep chop when astrong breeze blows over shallow wateror when current flows against the windor random chop from motorboats in aspectator fleet
bull Are the waves the normal size thatyou would expect for the wind velocityFor various reasons the waves might belarger or smaller than normal (see below)This could have huge implications forsteering trimming and sailing the boat
Check for wave asymmetry When youre racing upwind are the waves equal on each tack They are usually similar on port andstarboard tacks because waves are created by the wind and therefore they come from that directionHowever this is not always the case Sometimes the waves are not perpendicular to the wind andthis can have a huge impact on the way you sail your boat
There are several reasons why waves may be different from tack to tack bull Windshifts - If the waves are at first aligned with the wind any change in wind direction will
make them unaligned (at least for a while)This is very common bull Presence of nearby land - If there is land to windward of the course it could affect how waves
move across the racing area bull A distant storm -When youre racing on the ocean there are often swells coming from a direc-
tion thats very different from your sailing wind bull Cross-current - If you have a strong current that is not aligned with the wind it often creates
waves that arent square to the wind When you first start sailing in your race area check to see if the waves are the same on each
tack If not make the appropriate sail trim adjustments For example you will have to make your sailsfuller and more twisted on the bumpier tack (which goes more directly into the waves) On the other(smoother) tack you may be able to trim your sails much flatter and tighter You can point higher onthis tack too and keep your weight a little farther forward
There are also strategic implications of wave asymmetry For example if port tack is smootherit might mean the wind has shifted to the right When wave asymmetry is caused by a persistentwindshift its better to sail the smoother tack first since that will take you in the direction where thewind is shifting
Motorboat waves It would be hard to run most sailboat raceswithout motorboats but it sure would be nice ifwe could run them without motorboat wakesUnfortunately waves from motorboats are afact of life in most racing venues and the goodsailors simply figure out how to handle them
Motorboat waves differ from wind gener-ated waves in several important ways They areoften steeper and closer together (and thereforecan potentially hurt your speed much more)Boat waves typically hit you at strange angles(rather than straight with the wind) And fortu-nately they usually come and go pretty quickly
The first rule for maintaining speedthrough waves is to hit them at an angle(instead of head on)This is normally worthdoing even if it requires a significant alteration inthe course you have been sailing In fact it mayeven make sense to tack or jibe so big waveshit your stern rather than your bow
The second rule of thumb for motorboatwaves is to make sure you are going fast justbefore you hit them In other words be proac-tive by bearing off (or heading up on a run)easing (or trimming) your sails moving weightaft etc Dont wait until the first wave hits youbefore making these changes
As I mentioned above you ideally want tohit motorboat waves at an oblique angle andfully powered up But sometimes you cant doboth When the waves are coming at you paral-lel to the wind you have to make a choice Itsusually better to hit waves at an angle even ifyou have to pinch up and lose a little speedThis seems better than bearing off for speedand hitting the waves head on
Waves relative to windIn any wind velocity there is a certain size andshape of waves that you normally see with thatamount of wind In a five-knot breeze forexample the water surface should be almosttotally flat In 18 knots of wind however youexpect to see fairly good-sized waves withwhitecaps
But as every sailor knows you dontalways get normal sea conditions You mightsee bigger or smaller waves than whats typicalfor that wind velocity and this will affect howyou set up and sail your boat
When Im racing I categorize the wavestate in three general ways
1) Normal waves for the wind 2) Morewind than waves and 3) More waves thanwind Heres a closer look at each
More wind than waves This is almost always a fun condition for sailing(unless youre trying to do a windy jibe) Itsgreat (or painting and speed and makes stay-ing in the groove pretty easy
Here are several times when you are like-ly to see this condition
bull A building breezemdashthe breeze is up butthe waves havent had time to build yet
bull An offshore breezemdashthe water is flatteras you get closer to land because there is lessfetch for the waves to build
bull Current flowing with the wind When you have more wind than waves
you can trim your sails flatter and harder thanyou normally would in that breeze You shouldsail most boats as flat as possible and go formaximum height (pointing)
More waves than wind This is almost always a tough condition for sail-ing (unless you are sailing downwind withenough breeze to surf) It makes finding thegroove difficult and it quickly separates thegood sailors from the rest
You will typically see this condition withbull A dying breezemdashthe breeze always
changes faster than the wave state bull An onshore breezemdashwhen the wind is
blowing toward the shore it usually has a longfetch for the waves to build
bull Current flowing against the wind bull Lots of motorboat wakes (the worst) When you have more waves than wind be
careful about trimming too hard or pointing toohigh Err on the side of twist power and footingso you keep going fast

Watch for leeway caused by waves Waves make sailboats go up and down and they also push boats to leeward
The difference between the course you steer and the course you make goodthrough the water is your leeway angle The size of this angle is a result of
many factors such as heel angle wind velocity boat design and waveheight Though leeway for racing boats is usually not more than a few
degrees it will get slightly larger as the waves get bigger The main place where you will notice leeway is in relationto fixed objects like marks Your laylines are wider for
example in waves so you must allow a little extra distance before tacking
One place where its easyto see how much the waves pushyou to leeward is at the starting lineWhen boats attempt to luff in place on the line
they often slide much farther to leeward thanthey think Thats one reason why there
is often a significant line sag when thewaves are big
Go fast upwindin waves
Except for those few times when youare able to ride a motorboat wake
coming from behind waves are neverhelpful when youre racing upwind Itsalways faster to sail in flatter water andthat should be your first rule of thumbon beats
Sailing fast in waves requires ateam effort that involves the drivertrimmers and the rest of the crew Youhave to look ahead for waves that arecoming shift gears and find the bestway to steer through them
There are three basic strategies fordealing with waves upwind You cansail directly through the waves steerover the waves or try to avoid thewaves More likely you will do somecombination of the above
Going straight through waves isusually the best option when the wavesare everywhere and too small to steeraround The bigger and heavier yourboat the more likely you are to takethis approach since its often impossibleor slow to turn your rudder for individ-ual waves
This is not a great option for biggerwaves but sometimes it is your onlychoice (eg when all the waves are bigand steep) In that case try to keep the
boat going a little faster than usual upthe beat The most costly mistake is tobe too slow when you hit a bad wave
Anticipation is important The keyto maintaining speed through badwaves is to shift gears before you get tothem That means you need enoughwarning to power up your sail planbefore the bow digs into the first wave
Steering over the waves is a goodidea when they are larger and spacedfarther apart and when going straightthrough them is slow The smaller andlighter your boat the more effectivethis is
The basic technique for sailingover waves is to head up on the frontside and bear off the back side In other
30 Visit Northern Breezes Online wwwsailingbreezescom - JuneJuly 2010
words luff toward the wind a little asyou go up the wave and then bear offaway from the wind as you go down theback side The steeper the wave and thefaster your speed over the waves themore sharply you will have to turn yourhelm and your boat
In boats that are light enough to beaffected by the positioning of crewweight combine the steering with arotational movement of your bodiesLean aft (and maybe in a little) as yougo up the wave Then lean out and for-ward as you go over the top and downthe back side
Avoiding waves is always the pre-ferred option This works well whenyou have identifiable areas of badwaves such as boat wakes or sets ofespecially large steep waves Sinceyou can never avoid all waves youmust use this in concert with otherways to sail through waves but thisstrategy should always be a part of yourupwind plan
The techniques that work best inwaves are often subtle enough that younever know how well they are workinguntil you measure your performanceagainst nearby boats So test your wavestrategy before the start and continue toevaluate it during the race If youre notfast change something and try again
Put your weight in the right places One of the reasons why waves make a boat gomore slowly is because they cause it to hobby-horse which disrupts the air flow around itssails and the water flow around its foils This isespecially harmful in lighter air
The main goal of positioning your weightin waves therefore should be to reduce hobby-horsing Keep your crew together as much aspossible and near the middle of the boat In lightair the ideal spot is right at the top of the keelsince that is the point around which the sailplan hull and foils pivot When conditions arebumpy and light its not unusual for crews to sitdown below on the cabin sole (in bigger boats)or to crouch down inside the cockpit (one-designs)This reduces the range of motion ofthe mast and keelcenterboard
In heavy air the crew cant be inside theboat of course Instead they should sit tightlytogether like the crew on the boat above Thefore-and-aft position of their weight depends onthe boat wind strength and wave shapeGenerally the crew should be at least slightlyfarther aft when its rough (than when its flatwith the same wind velocity) to keep the bowfrom plowing into waves
If youre racing upwind in waves and youthink your weight is positioned perfectly but youarent going fast try moving your crew a littlefarther apart Sometimes the boat doesnt clickwith the natural frequency of the wavesmdashbutdifferent crew spacing may improve this har-mony (and therefore your speed)
These waves are unusually large uniform and rounded on top so its not necessary tosteer around them very much The ideal course would be a gradual slight arc to windwardon the approaching face of the wave followed by a similar bearing off down the back side
How much to steer in wavesWhen youre sailing upwind waves will
always slow you down so you should avoidthem as much as possible (see below)However when you turn your rudder to steeraround waves the drag you create will alsomake you go slower Therefore you are alwayssearching for the optimal tradeoff betweenusing a lot of rudder and missing waves versususing less rudder and hitting waves
The only true way to judge whether youare doing a good (fast) job of this is by com-paring your performance to that of a nearbyboat Thats why its critical when you havewaves to train with another boat if possible andto tune up with a competitor before every raceWhile you are doing this try different steeringtechniques to see what is fastest in the unique
conditions that you have on any dayThe last thing you
want to do in awavy race is
to be look-ing for
the groove as you come off the starting line Several factors influence the tradeoff of
how aggressively you should steer (ie howquickly and how far you should turn the rud-der) Here are two important considerations
bull Size and shape of the waves - Are thewaves big small rounded or crested Howsteep and close together are they You donthave to steer much in small waves or even bigswells but medium-size waves can present atough challenge especially when theyre steepandor close together
bull Characteristics of your boat - Is yourboat large or small (relative to the waves) lightor heavy Does it turn easily Does it have anarrow bow that cuts easily through the wavesor a fat bow that slams into waves All thesefactors affect the tradeoff of hitting a wave ver-sus turning to miss it
One thing thats true for all boats andwaves is that when you turn the boat its bestto do this with as little rudder as possibleReduce drag by steering with sail trim and bodyweight For example use windward helm toallow the boat to carve its own turn to windwardon the front of the wave Then at the top of thewave hike out hard and ease the mainsheet ortraveler to help bear off down the back side Ifyou can turn the boat without so much dragthen the tradeoff moves in the direction of steer-ing to miss more waves

Often I chat withboaters regarding a
wide range of boat-smarttopics fog being one Thattopic came to the forefrontafter a fog bank shroudedthe waters off Manisteeduring the Salmon Splash333 fishing TournamentThe captains I spoke withemphasized safety and situ-ational awareness whenoperating in fog in otherwords boat smart
Manisteersquos 2009Salmon Splash 333 Best ofthe Best boasted a $10000first-place price Needlessto say fog was not goingto deter anglers from pur-suing the grand prize evenit meant running in fogwhich they did on the sec-ond day of the tournament In all therewere 58 boats in the tournament
With that many boats picking theirway through the fog in close proximitythe chance for collisions seemed immi-nent yet none occurred or at least nonethat were reported Several captains Ispoke with told me they lost fishinglines severed when boats crossed theirstern ldquoBut that comes with the territo-ryrdquo said one captain referring to thefog especially when fishing linesextend well off the stern
What impressed me about theanglers I spoke with and the tourna-ment guidelines is that safety ruledMatthew Salerno and his brother Tonywho won the $10000 prize aboard theirboat Living a Dream told me they trollat about 25 knots with a forward look-out at all times Safety equipment isreadily at hand and the crew is familiarwith its use
Communicating with other tourna-ment boats is prohibited whether it bea cell phone or marine radio unless inthe event of an emergency These
anglers were literally on their own andalone in the fog ldquoWe kept our eyes onthe radar at all timesrdquo said MattSalerno Not all the boats howevercarried radar but still kept safe by fol-lowing a basic navigation rule
Rule 6 of the Navigation Rulesstates ldquoEvery vessel shall at all timesproceed at a safe speed so that she cantake proper and effective action toavoid collision and be stopped within adistance appropriate to the prevailingcircumstances and conditionsrdquo
One of the conditions addressed inthe rules is state of visibilityApparently these anglers some ofwhom were Coast Guard licensed cap-tains understood the rules and so com-plied However not all the boaters onthe lake that day
were part of the tournament norexercising boat smarts one such boaternearly slammed into one of the tourna-ment boats
ldquoWe were fishing a mile off BigPoint Sable in a hundred and thirty feetof water when out of the fog emerged
this 35-foot powerboatheading right at us pullinga dingy off its sternrdquo saidthe captain of the tourna-ment boat Katch-Me ldquoWewaved our arms andhollered as he bore downon usrdquo The captain figuresthe boat was travelingabout 15 knots
One of the crewmanaboard believes the boatoperator was not expect-ing to encounter in fog afleet of boats on LakeMichigan on a Thursdaymorning Thursday morn-ing or Saturday afternoonhas little to do with main-taining a proper lookoutand using all availablemeans to avoid a collisionin fog Also towing a
dinghy behind a boat in fog is not toobright Another boat could run over thetow line and foul its prop(s) or theboater pulling it might snag the towingline while backing down to avoid a col-lision
What I find disturbing about thisincident is that the tournament boaterswere using all means available toassure not only their own safety butthat of their fellow anglers Then alongcomes a boater who seems oblivious tothe safety of others or worse yet wasjust boat stupid
I suspect it is the latter untilboaters are required to boat smart thosethat do must keep a very sharp lookoutfog or not

Waves are like snowflakes No twoare exactly the same and therefore
you have to treat each one as a unique anddifferent entity The same is true in thebig picturemdashevery sequence of wavesyou face during a race will be at least alittle different from anything you haveever seen before So you must continual-ly work at finding the optimal paththrough the waves you face
When you get to the race course it ishelpful to ask a few questions to under-stand the waves and how they will affectyour race
bull Are the waves perpendicular to thewind direction If the waves are flowingin the same direction as the wind thenyou will generally have symmetry fromtack to tack But If not you will need toset things up differently on each tack
bull Are you going faster or slower thanthe waves downwind Figure out if thewaves are helping you (ie theyre goingfaster than you) or hurting you (yourefaster than them) Also do surfing condi-tions exist This is key to knowing if youare allowed to pump your sails Here arefurther explanations of some of theseconcepts

Key wave conceptsby David Dellenbaugh
bull Whats causing the waves The sizeand shape of waves will depend onwhether they are caused by wind currentor boats You could have smooth swellsfrom a storm far away steep chop when astrong breeze blows over shallow wateror when current flows against the windor random chop from motorboats in aspectator fleet
bull Are the waves the normal size thatyou would expect for the wind velocityFor various reasons the waves might belarger or smaller than normal (see below)This could have huge implications forsteering trimming and sailing the boat
Check for wave asymmetry When youre racing upwind are the waves equal on each tack They are usually similar on port andstarboard tacks because waves are created by the wind and therefore they come from that directionHowever this is not always the case Sometimes the waves are not perpendicular to the wind andthis can have a huge impact on the way you sail your boat
There are several reasons why waves may be different from tack to tack bull Windshifts - If the waves are at first aligned with the wind any change in wind direction will
make them unaligned (at least for a while)This is very common bull Presence of nearby land - If there is land to windward of the course it could affect how waves
move across the racing area bull A distant storm -When youre racing on the ocean there are often swells coming from a direc-
tion thats very different from your sailing wind bull Cross-current - If you have a strong current that is not aligned with the wind it often creates
waves that arent square to the wind When you first start sailing in your race area check to see if the waves are the same on each
tack If not make the appropriate sail trim adjustments For example you will have to make your sailsfuller and more twisted on the bumpier tack (which goes more directly into the waves) On the other(smoother) tack you may be able to trim your sails much flatter and tighter You can point higher onthis tack too and keep your weight a little farther forward
There are also strategic implications of wave asymmetry For example if port tack is smootherit might mean the wind has shifted to the right When wave asymmetry is caused by a persistentwindshift its better to sail the smoother tack first since that will take you in the direction where thewind is shifting
Motorboat waves It would be hard to run most sailboat raceswithout motorboats but it sure would be nice ifwe could run them without motorboat wakesUnfortunately waves from motorboats are afact of life in most racing venues and the goodsailors simply figure out how to handle them
Motorboat waves differ from wind gener-ated waves in several important ways They areoften steeper and closer together (and thereforecan potentially hurt your speed much more)Boat waves typically hit you at strange angles(rather than straight with the wind) And fortu-nately they usually come and go pretty quickly
The first rule for maintaining speedthrough waves is to hit them at an angle(instead of head on)This is normally worthdoing even if it requires a significant alteration inthe course you have been sailing In fact it mayeven make sense to tack or jibe so big waveshit your stern rather than your bow
The second rule of thumb for motorboatwaves is to make sure you are going fast justbefore you hit them In other words be proac-tive by bearing off (or heading up on a run)easing (or trimming) your sails moving weightaft etc Dont wait until the first wave hits youbefore making these changes
As I mentioned above you ideally want tohit motorboat waves at an oblique angle andfully powered up But sometimes you cant doboth When the waves are coming at you paral-lel to the wind you have to make a choice Itsusually better to hit waves at an angle even ifyou have to pinch up and lose a little speedThis seems better than bearing off for speedand hitting the waves head on
Waves relative to windIn any wind velocity there is a certain size andshape of waves that you normally see with thatamount of wind In a five-knot breeze forexample the water surface should be almosttotally flat In 18 knots of wind however youexpect to see fairly good-sized waves withwhitecaps
But as every sailor knows you dontalways get normal sea conditions You mightsee bigger or smaller waves than whats typicalfor that wind velocity and this will affect howyou set up and sail your boat
When Im racing I categorize the wavestate in three general ways
1) Normal waves for the wind 2) Morewind than waves and 3) More waves thanwind Heres a closer look at each
More wind than waves This is almost always a fun condition for sailing(unless youre trying to do a windy jibe) Itsgreat (or painting and speed and makes stay-ing in the groove pretty easy
Here are several times when you are like-ly to see this condition
bull A building breezemdashthe breeze is up butthe waves havent had time to build yet
bull An offshore breezemdashthe water is flatteras you get closer to land because there is lessfetch for the waves to build
bull Current flowing with the wind When you have more wind than waves
you can trim your sails flatter and harder thanyou normally would in that breeze You shouldsail most boats as flat as possible and go formaximum height (pointing)
More waves than wind This is almost always a tough condition for sail-ing (unless you are sailing downwind withenough breeze to surf) It makes finding thegroove difficult and it quickly separates thegood sailors from the rest
You will typically see this condition withbull A dying breezemdashthe breeze always
changes faster than the wave state bull An onshore breezemdashwhen the wind is
blowing toward the shore it usually has a longfetch for the waves to build
bull Current flowing against the wind bull Lots of motorboat wakes (the worst) When you have more waves than wind be
careful about trimming too hard or pointing toohigh Err on the side of twist power and footingso you keep going fast

Watch for leeway caused by waves Waves make sailboats go up and down and they also push boats to leeward
The difference between the course you steer and the course you make goodthrough the water is your leeway angle The size of this angle is a result of
many factors such as heel angle wind velocity boat design and waveheight Though leeway for racing boats is usually not more than a few
degrees it will get slightly larger as the waves get bigger The main place where you will notice leeway is in relationto fixed objects like marks Your laylines are wider for
example in waves so you must allow a little extra distance before tacking
One place where its easyto see how much the waves pushyou to leeward is at the starting lineWhen boats attempt to luff in place on the line
they often slide much farther to leeward thanthey think Thats one reason why there
is often a significant line sag when thewaves are big
Go fast upwindin waves
Except for those few times when youare able to ride a motorboat wake
coming from behind waves are neverhelpful when youre racing upwind Itsalways faster to sail in flatter water andthat should be your first rule of thumbon beats
Sailing fast in waves requires ateam effort that involves the drivertrimmers and the rest of the crew Youhave to look ahead for waves that arecoming shift gears and find the bestway to steer through them
There are three basic strategies fordealing with waves upwind You cansail directly through the waves steerover the waves or try to avoid thewaves More likely you will do somecombination of the above
Going straight through waves isusually the best option when the wavesare everywhere and too small to steeraround The bigger and heavier yourboat the more likely you are to takethis approach since its often impossibleor slow to turn your rudder for individ-ual waves
This is not a great option for biggerwaves but sometimes it is your onlychoice (eg when all the waves are bigand steep) In that case try to keep the
boat going a little faster than usual upthe beat The most costly mistake is tobe too slow when you hit a bad wave
Anticipation is important The keyto maintaining speed through badwaves is to shift gears before you get tothem That means you need enoughwarning to power up your sail planbefore the bow digs into the first wave
Steering over the waves is a goodidea when they are larger and spacedfarther apart and when going straightthrough them is slow The smaller andlighter your boat the more effectivethis is
The basic technique for sailingover waves is to head up on the frontside and bear off the back side In other
30 Visit Northern Breezes Online wwwsailingbreezescom - JuneJuly 2010
words luff toward the wind a little asyou go up the wave and then bear offaway from the wind as you go down theback side The steeper the wave and thefaster your speed over the waves themore sharply you will have to turn yourhelm and your boat
In boats that are light enough to beaffected by the positioning of crewweight combine the steering with arotational movement of your bodiesLean aft (and maybe in a little) as yougo up the wave Then lean out and for-ward as you go over the top and downthe back side
Avoiding waves is always the pre-ferred option This works well whenyou have identifiable areas of badwaves such as boat wakes or sets ofespecially large steep waves Sinceyou can never avoid all waves youmust use this in concert with otherways to sail through waves but thisstrategy should always be a part of yourupwind plan
The techniques that work best inwaves are often subtle enough that younever know how well they are workinguntil you measure your performanceagainst nearby boats So test your wavestrategy before the start and continue toevaluate it during the race If youre notfast change something and try again
Put your weight in the right places One of the reasons why waves make a boat gomore slowly is because they cause it to hobby-horse which disrupts the air flow around itssails and the water flow around its foils This isespecially harmful in lighter air
The main goal of positioning your weightin waves therefore should be to reduce hobby-horsing Keep your crew together as much aspossible and near the middle of the boat In lightair the ideal spot is right at the top of the keelsince that is the point around which the sailplan hull and foils pivot When conditions arebumpy and light its not unusual for crews to sitdown below on the cabin sole (in bigger boats)or to crouch down inside the cockpit (one-designs)This reduces the range of motion ofthe mast and keelcenterboard
In heavy air the crew cant be inside theboat of course Instead they should sit tightlytogether like the crew on the boat above Thefore-and-aft position of their weight depends onthe boat wind strength and wave shapeGenerally the crew should be at least slightlyfarther aft when its rough (than when its flatwith the same wind velocity) to keep the bowfrom plowing into waves
If youre racing upwind in waves and youthink your weight is positioned perfectly but youarent going fast try moving your crew a littlefarther apart Sometimes the boat doesnt clickwith the natural frequency of the wavesmdashbutdifferent crew spacing may improve this har-mony (and therefore your speed)
These waves are unusually large uniform and rounded on top so its not necessary tosteer around them very much The ideal course would be a gradual slight arc to windwardon the approaching face of the wave followed by a similar bearing off down the back side
How much to steer in wavesWhen youre sailing upwind waves will
always slow you down so you should avoidthem as much as possible (see below)However when you turn your rudder to steeraround waves the drag you create will alsomake you go slower Therefore you are alwayssearching for the optimal tradeoff betweenusing a lot of rudder and missing waves versususing less rudder and hitting waves
The only true way to judge whether youare doing a good (fast) job of this is by com-paring your performance to that of a nearbyboat Thats why its critical when you havewaves to train with another boat if possible andto tune up with a competitor before every raceWhile you are doing this try different steeringtechniques to see what is fastest in the unique
conditions that you have on any dayThe last thing you
want to do in awavy race is
to be look-ing for
the groove as you come off the starting line Several factors influence the tradeoff of
how aggressively you should steer (ie howquickly and how far you should turn the rud-der) Here are two important considerations
bull Size and shape of the waves - Are thewaves big small rounded or crested Howsteep and close together are they You donthave to steer much in small waves or even bigswells but medium-size waves can present atough challenge especially when theyre steepandor close together
bull Characteristics of your boat - Is yourboat large or small (relative to the waves) lightor heavy Does it turn easily Does it have anarrow bow that cuts easily through the wavesor a fat bow that slams into waves All thesefactors affect the tradeoff of hitting a wave ver-sus turning to miss it
One thing thats true for all boats andwaves is that when you turn the boat its bestto do this with as little rudder as possibleReduce drag by steering with sail trim and bodyweight For example use windward helm toallow the boat to carve its own turn to windwardon the front of the wave Then at the top of thewave hike out hard and ease the mainsheet ortraveler to help bear off down the back side Ifyou can turn the boat without so much dragthen the tradeoff moves in the direction of steer-ing to miss more waves

Clean Vessel Act funding supportsthe construction of facilities in communi-ties that depend largely on recreationalboating for their economy - and dependon clean water for their health and thehealth of their environment said GouldIn a time of economic uncertainty thesegrants also provide an immediate invest-ment in construction jobs and infrastruc-ture that provide lasting value for recre-ational boaters state agencies and localcommunities

Often I chat withboaters regarding a
wide range of boat-smarttopics fog being one Thattopic came to the forefrontafter a fog bank shroudedthe waters off Manisteeduring the Salmon Splash333 fishing TournamentThe captains I spoke withemphasized safety and situ-ational awareness whenoperating in fog in otherwords boat smart
Manisteersquos 2009Salmon Splash 333 Best ofthe Best boasted a $10000first-place price Needlessto say fog was not goingto deter anglers from pur-suing the grand prize evenit meant running in fogwhich they did on the sec-ond day of the tournament In all therewere 58 boats in the tournament
With that many boats picking theirway through the fog in close proximitythe chance for collisions seemed immi-nent yet none occurred or at least nonethat were reported Several captains Ispoke with told me they lost fishinglines severed when boats crossed theirstern ldquoBut that comes with the territo-ryrdquo said one captain referring to thefog especially when fishing linesextend well off the stern
What impressed me about theanglers I spoke with and the tourna-ment guidelines is that safety ruledMatthew Salerno and his brother Tonywho won the $10000 prize aboard theirboat Living a Dream told me they trollat about 25 knots with a forward look-out at all times Safety equipment isreadily at hand and the crew is familiarwith its use
Communicating with other tourna-ment boats is prohibited whether it bea cell phone or marine radio unless inthe event of an emergency These
anglers were literally on their own andalone in the fog ldquoWe kept our eyes onthe radar at all timesrdquo said MattSalerno Not all the boats howevercarried radar but still kept safe by fol-lowing a basic navigation rule
Rule 6 of the Navigation Rulesstates ldquoEvery vessel shall at all timesproceed at a safe speed so that she cantake proper and effective action toavoid collision and be stopped within adistance appropriate to the prevailingcircumstances and conditionsrdquo
One of the conditions addressed inthe rules is state of visibilityApparently these anglers some ofwhom were Coast Guard licensed cap-tains understood the rules and so com-plied However not all the boaters onthe lake that day
were part of the tournament norexercising boat smarts one such boaternearly slammed into one of the tourna-ment boats
ldquoWe were fishing a mile off BigPoint Sable in a hundred and thirty feetof water when out of the fog emerged
this 35-foot powerboatheading right at us pullinga dingy off its sternrdquo saidthe captain of the tourna-ment boat Katch-Me ldquoWewaved our arms andhollered as he bore downon usrdquo The captain figuresthe boat was travelingabout 15 knots
One of the crewmanaboard believes the boatoperator was not expect-ing to encounter in fog afleet of boats on LakeMichigan on a Thursdaymorning Thursday morn-ing or Saturday afternoonhas little to do with main-taining a proper lookoutand using all availablemeans to avoid a collisionin fog Also towing a
dinghy behind a boat in fog is not toobright Another boat could run over thetow line and foul its prop(s) or theboater pulling it might snag the towingline while backing down to avoid a col-lision
What I find disturbing about thisincident is that the tournament boaterswere using all means available toassure not only their own safety butthat of their fellow anglers Then alongcomes a boater who seems oblivious tothe safety of others or worse yet wasjust boat stupid
I suspect it is the latter untilboaters are required to boat smart thosethat do must keep a very sharp lookoutfog or not

Waves are like snowflakes No twoare exactly the same and therefore
you have to treat each one as a unique anddifferent entity The same is true in thebig picturemdashevery sequence of wavesyou face during a race will be at least alittle different from anything you haveever seen before So you must continual-ly work at finding the optimal paththrough the waves you face
When you get to the race course it ishelpful to ask a few questions to under-stand the waves and how they will affectyour race
bull Are the waves perpendicular to thewind direction If the waves are flowingin the same direction as the wind thenyou will generally have symmetry fromtack to tack But If not you will need toset things up differently on each tack
bull Are you going faster or slower thanthe waves downwind Figure out if thewaves are helping you (ie theyre goingfaster than you) or hurting you (yourefaster than them) Also do surfing condi-tions exist This is key to knowing if youare allowed to pump your sails Here arefurther explanations of some of theseconcepts

Key wave conceptsby David Dellenbaugh
bull Whats causing the waves The sizeand shape of waves will depend onwhether they are caused by wind currentor boats You could have smooth swellsfrom a storm far away steep chop when astrong breeze blows over shallow wateror when current flows against the windor random chop from motorboats in aspectator fleet
bull Are the waves the normal size thatyou would expect for the wind velocityFor various reasons the waves might belarger or smaller than normal (see below)This could have huge implications forsteering trimming and sailing the boat
Check for wave asymmetry When youre racing upwind are the waves equal on each tack They are usually similar on port andstarboard tacks because waves are created by the wind and therefore they come from that directionHowever this is not always the case Sometimes the waves are not perpendicular to the wind andthis can have a huge impact on the way you sail your boat
There are several reasons why waves may be different from tack to tack bull Windshifts - If the waves are at first aligned with the wind any change in wind direction will
make them unaligned (at least for a while)This is very common bull Presence of nearby land - If there is land to windward of the course it could affect how waves
move across the racing area bull A distant storm -When youre racing on the ocean there are often swells coming from a direc-
tion thats very different from your sailing wind bull Cross-current - If you have a strong current that is not aligned with the wind it often creates
waves that arent square to the wind When you first start sailing in your race area check to see if the waves are the same on each
tack If not make the appropriate sail trim adjustments For example you will have to make your sailsfuller and more twisted on the bumpier tack (which goes more directly into the waves) On the other(smoother) tack you may be able to trim your sails much flatter and tighter You can point higher onthis tack too and keep your weight a little farther forward
There are also strategic implications of wave asymmetry For example if port tack is smootherit might mean the wind has shifted to the right When wave asymmetry is caused by a persistentwindshift its better to sail the smoother tack first since that will take you in the direction where thewind is shifting
Motorboat waves It would be hard to run most sailboat raceswithout motorboats but it sure would be nice ifwe could run them without motorboat wakesUnfortunately waves from motorboats are afact of life in most racing venues and the goodsailors simply figure out how to handle them
Motorboat waves differ from wind gener-ated waves in several important ways They areoften steeper and closer together (and thereforecan potentially hurt your speed much more)Boat waves typically hit you at strange angles(rather than straight with the wind) And fortu-nately they usually come and go pretty quickly
The first rule for maintaining speedthrough waves is to hit them at an angle(instead of head on)This is normally worthdoing even if it requires a significant alteration inthe course you have been sailing In fact it mayeven make sense to tack or jibe so big waveshit your stern rather than your bow
The second rule of thumb for motorboatwaves is to make sure you are going fast justbefore you hit them In other words be proac-tive by bearing off (or heading up on a run)easing (or trimming) your sails moving weightaft etc Dont wait until the first wave hits youbefore making these changes
As I mentioned above you ideally want tohit motorboat waves at an oblique angle andfully powered up But sometimes you cant doboth When the waves are coming at you paral-lel to the wind you have to make a choice Itsusually better to hit waves at an angle even ifyou have to pinch up and lose a little speedThis seems better than bearing off for speedand hitting the waves head on
Waves relative to windIn any wind velocity there is a certain size andshape of waves that you normally see with thatamount of wind In a five-knot breeze forexample the water surface should be almosttotally flat In 18 knots of wind however youexpect to see fairly good-sized waves withwhitecaps
But as every sailor knows you dontalways get normal sea conditions You mightsee bigger or smaller waves than whats typicalfor that wind velocity and this will affect howyou set up and sail your boat
When Im racing I categorize the wavestate in three general ways
1) Normal waves for the wind 2) Morewind than waves and 3) More waves thanwind Heres a closer look at each
More wind than waves This is almost always a fun condition for sailing(unless youre trying to do a windy jibe) Itsgreat (or painting and speed and makes stay-ing in the groove pretty easy
Here are several times when you are like-ly to see this condition
bull A building breezemdashthe breeze is up butthe waves havent had time to build yet
bull An offshore breezemdashthe water is flatteras you get closer to land because there is lessfetch for the waves to build
bull Current flowing with the wind When you have more wind than waves
you can trim your sails flatter and harder thanyou normally would in that breeze You shouldsail most boats as flat as possible and go formaximum height (pointing)
More waves than wind This is almost always a tough condition for sail-ing (unless you are sailing downwind withenough breeze to surf) It makes finding thegroove difficult and it quickly separates thegood sailors from the rest
You will typically see this condition withbull A dying breezemdashthe breeze always
changes faster than the wave state bull An onshore breezemdashwhen the wind is
blowing toward the shore it usually has a longfetch for the waves to build
bull Current flowing against the wind bull Lots of motorboat wakes (the worst) When you have more waves than wind be
careful about trimming too hard or pointing toohigh Err on the side of twist power and footingso you keep going fast

Watch for leeway caused by waves Waves make sailboats go up and down and they also push boats to leeward
The difference between the course you steer and the course you make goodthrough the water is your leeway angle The size of this angle is a result of
many factors such as heel angle wind velocity boat design and waveheight Though leeway for racing boats is usually not more than a few
degrees it will get slightly larger as the waves get bigger The main place where you will notice leeway is in relationto fixed objects like marks Your laylines are wider for
example in waves so you must allow a little extra distance before tacking
One place where its easyto see how much the waves pushyou to leeward is at the starting lineWhen boats attempt to luff in place on the line
they often slide much farther to leeward thanthey think Thats one reason why there
is often a significant line sag when thewaves are big
Go fast upwindin waves
Except for those few times when youare able to ride a motorboat wake
coming from behind waves are neverhelpful when youre racing upwind Itsalways faster to sail in flatter water andthat should be your first rule of thumbon beats
Sailing fast in waves requires ateam effort that involves the drivertrimmers and the rest of the crew Youhave to look ahead for waves that arecoming shift gears and find the bestway to steer through them
There are three basic strategies fordealing with waves upwind You cansail directly through the waves steerover the waves or try to avoid thewaves More likely you will do somecombination of the above
Going straight through waves isusually the best option when the wavesare everywhere and too small to steeraround The bigger and heavier yourboat the more likely you are to takethis approach since its often impossibleor slow to turn your rudder for individ-ual waves
This is not a great option for biggerwaves but sometimes it is your onlychoice (eg when all the waves are bigand steep) In that case try to keep the
boat going a little faster than usual upthe beat The most costly mistake is tobe too slow when you hit a bad wave
Anticipation is important The keyto maintaining speed through badwaves is to shift gears before you get tothem That means you need enoughwarning to power up your sail planbefore the bow digs into the first wave
Steering over the waves is a goodidea when they are larger and spacedfarther apart and when going straightthrough them is slow The smaller andlighter your boat the more effectivethis is
The basic technique for sailingover waves is to head up on the frontside and bear off the back side In other
30 Visit Northern Breezes Online wwwsailingbreezescom - JuneJuly 2010
words luff toward the wind a little asyou go up the wave and then bear offaway from the wind as you go down theback side The steeper the wave and thefaster your speed over the waves themore sharply you will have to turn yourhelm and your boat
In boats that are light enough to beaffected by the positioning of crewweight combine the steering with arotational movement of your bodiesLean aft (and maybe in a little) as yougo up the wave Then lean out and for-ward as you go over the top and downthe back side
Avoiding waves is always the pre-ferred option This works well whenyou have identifiable areas of badwaves such as boat wakes or sets ofespecially large steep waves Sinceyou can never avoid all waves youmust use this in concert with otherways to sail through waves but thisstrategy should always be a part of yourupwind plan
The techniques that work best inwaves are often subtle enough that younever know how well they are workinguntil you measure your performanceagainst nearby boats So test your wavestrategy before the start and continue toevaluate it during the race If youre notfast change something and try again
Put your weight in the right places One of the reasons why waves make a boat gomore slowly is because they cause it to hobby-horse which disrupts the air flow around itssails and the water flow around its foils This isespecially harmful in lighter air
The main goal of positioning your weightin waves therefore should be to reduce hobby-horsing Keep your crew together as much aspossible and near the middle of the boat In lightair the ideal spot is right at the top of the keelsince that is the point around which the sailplan hull and foils pivot When conditions arebumpy and light its not unusual for crews to sitdown below on the cabin sole (in bigger boats)or to crouch down inside the cockpit (one-designs)This reduces the range of motion ofthe mast and keelcenterboard
In heavy air the crew cant be inside theboat of course Instead they should sit tightlytogether like the crew on the boat above Thefore-and-aft position of their weight depends onthe boat wind strength and wave shapeGenerally the crew should be at least slightlyfarther aft when its rough (than when its flatwith the same wind velocity) to keep the bowfrom plowing into waves
If youre racing upwind in waves and youthink your weight is positioned perfectly but youarent going fast try moving your crew a littlefarther apart Sometimes the boat doesnt clickwith the natural frequency of the wavesmdashbutdifferent crew spacing may improve this har-mony (and therefore your speed)
These waves are unusually large uniform and rounded on top so its not necessary tosteer around them very much The ideal course would be a gradual slight arc to windwardon the approaching face of the wave followed by a similar bearing off down the back side
How much to steer in wavesWhen youre sailing upwind waves will
always slow you down so you should avoidthem as much as possible (see below)However when you turn your rudder to steeraround waves the drag you create will alsomake you go slower Therefore you are alwayssearching for the optimal tradeoff betweenusing a lot of rudder and missing waves versususing less rudder and hitting waves
The only true way to judge whether youare doing a good (fast) job of this is by com-paring your performance to that of a nearbyboat Thats why its critical when you havewaves to train with another boat if possible andto tune up with a competitor before every raceWhile you are doing this try different steeringtechniques to see what is fastest in the unique
conditions that you have on any dayThe last thing you
want to do in awavy race is
to be look-ing for
the groove as you come off the starting line Several factors influence the tradeoff of
how aggressively you should steer (ie howquickly and how far you should turn the rud-der) Here are two important considerations
bull Size and shape of the waves - Are thewaves big small rounded or crested Howsteep and close together are they You donthave to steer much in small waves or even bigswells but medium-size waves can present atough challenge especially when theyre steepandor close together
bull Characteristics of your boat - Is yourboat large or small (relative to the waves) lightor heavy Does it turn easily Does it have anarrow bow that cuts easily through the wavesor a fat bow that slams into waves All thesefactors affect the tradeoff of hitting a wave ver-sus turning to miss it
One thing thats true for all boats andwaves is that when you turn the boat its bestto do this with as little rudder as possibleReduce drag by steering with sail trim and bodyweight For example use windward helm toallow the boat to carve its own turn to windwardon the front of the wave Then at the top of thewave hike out hard and ease the mainsheet ortraveler to help bear off down the back side Ifyou can turn the boat without so much dragthen the tradeoff moves in the direction of steer-ing to miss more waves

Often I chat withboaters regarding a
wide range of boat-smarttopics fog being one Thattopic came to the forefrontafter a fog bank shroudedthe waters off Manisteeduring the Salmon Splash333 fishing TournamentThe captains I spoke withemphasized safety and situ-ational awareness whenoperating in fog in otherwords boat smart
Manisteersquos 2009Salmon Splash 333 Best ofthe Best boasted a $10000first-place price Needlessto say fog was not goingto deter anglers from pur-suing the grand prize evenit meant running in fogwhich they did on the sec-ond day of the tournament In all therewere 58 boats in the tournament
With that many boats picking theirway through the fog in close proximitythe chance for collisions seemed immi-nent yet none occurred or at least nonethat were reported Several captains Ispoke with told me they lost fishinglines severed when boats crossed theirstern ldquoBut that comes with the territo-ryrdquo said one captain referring to thefog especially when fishing linesextend well off the stern
What impressed me about theanglers I spoke with and the tourna-ment guidelines is that safety ruledMatthew Salerno and his brother Tonywho won the $10000 prize aboard theirboat Living a Dream told me they trollat about 25 knots with a forward look-out at all times Safety equipment isreadily at hand and the crew is familiarwith its use
Communicating with other tourna-ment boats is prohibited whether it bea cell phone or marine radio unless inthe event of an emergency These
anglers were literally on their own andalone in the fog ldquoWe kept our eyes onthe radar at all timesrdquo said MattSalerno Not all the boats howevercarried radar but still kept safe by fol-lowing a basic navigation rule
Rule 6 of the Navigation Rulesstates ldquoEvery vessel shall at all timesproceed at a safe speed so that she cantake proper and effective action toavoid collision and be stopped within adistance appropriate to the prevailingcircumstances and conditionsrdquo
One of the conditions addressed inthe rules is state of visibilityApparently these anglers some ofwhom were Coast Guard licensed cap-tains understood the rules and so com-plied However not all the boaters onthe lake that day
were part of the tournament norexercising boat smarts one such boaternearly slammed into one of the tourna-ment boats
ldquoWe were fishing a mile off BigPoint Sable in a hundred and thirty feetof water when out of the fog emerged
this 35-foot powerboatheading right at us pullinga dingy off its sternrdquo saidthe captain of the tourna-ment boat Katch-Me ldquoWewaved our arms andhollered as he bore downon usrdquo The captain figuresthe boat was travelingabout 15 knots
One of the crewmanaboard believes the boatoperator was not expect-ing to encounter in fog afleet of boats on LakeMichigan on a Thursdaymorning Thursday morn-ing or Saturday afternoonhas little to do with main-taining a proper lookoutand using all availablemeans to avoid a collisionin fog Also towing a
dinghy behind a boat in fog is not toobright Another boat could run over thetow line and foul its prop(s) or theboater pulling it might snag the towingline while backing down to avoid a col-lision
What I find disturbing about thisincident is that the tournament boaterswere using all means available toassure not only their own safety butthat of their fellow anglers Then alongcomes a boater who seems oblivious tothe safety of others or worse yet wasjust boat stupid
I suspect it is the latter untilboaters are required to boat smart thosethat do must keep a very sharp lookoutfog or not

Waves are like snowflakes No twoare exactly the same and therefore
you have to treat each one as a unique anddifferent entity The same is true in thebig picturemdashevery sequence of wavesyou face during a race will be at least alittle different from anything you haveever seen before So you must continual-ly work at finding the optimal paththrough the waves you face
When you get to the race course it ishelpful to ask a few questions to under-stand the waves and how they will affectyour race
bull Are the waves perpendicular to thewind direction If the waves are flowingin the same direction as the wind thenyou will generally have symmetry fromtack to tack But If not you will need toset things up differently on each tack
bull Are you going faster or slower thanthe waves downwind Figure out if thewaves are helping you (ie theyre goingfaster than you) or hurting you (yourefaster than them) Also do surfing condi-tions exist This is key to knowing if youare allowed to pump your sails Here arefurther explanations of some of theseconcepts
28 Visit Northern Breezes Online wwwsailingbreezescom - JuneJuly 2010
Key wave conceptsby David Dellenbaugh
bull Whats causing the waves The sizeand shape of waves will depend onwhether they are caused by wind currentor boats You could have smooth swellsfrom a storm far away steep chop when astrong breeze blows over shallow wateror when current flows against the windor random chop from motorboats in aspectator fleet
bull Are the waves the normal size thatyou would expect for the wind velocityFor various reasons the waves might belarger or smaller than normal (see below)This could have huge implications forsteering trimming and sailing the boat
Check for wave asymmetry When youre racing upwind are the waves equal on each tack They are usually similar on port andstarboard tacks because waves are created by the wind and therefore they come from that directionHowever this is not always the case Sometimes the waves are not perpendicular to the wind andthis can have a huge impact on the way you sail your boat
There are several reasons why waves may be different from tack to tack bull Windshifts - If the waves are at first aligned with the wind any change in wind direction will
make them unaligned (at least for a while)This is very common bull Presence of nearby land - If there is land to windward of the course it could affect how waves
move across the racing area bull A distant storm -When youre racing on the ocean there are often swells coming from a direc-
tion thats very different from your sailing wind bull Cross-current - If you have a strong current that is not aligned with the wind it often creates
waves that arent square to the wind When you first start sailing in your race area check to see if the waves are the same on each
tack If not make the appropriate sail trim adjustments For example you will have to make your sailsfuller and more twisted on the bumpier tack (which goes more directly into the waves) On the other(smoother) tack you may be able to trim your sails much flatter and tighter You can point higher onthis tack too and keep your weight a little farther forward
There are also strategic implications of wave asymmetry For example if port tack is smootherit might mean the wind has shifted to the right When wave asymmetry is caused by a persistentwindshift its better to sail the smoother tack first since that will take you in the direction where thewind is shifting
Motorboat waves It would be hard to run most sailboat raceswithout motorboats but it sure would be nice ifwe could run them without motorboat wakesUnfortunately waves from motorboats are afact of life in most racing venues and the goodsailors simply figure out how to handle them
Motorboat waves differ from wind gener-ated waves in several important ways They areoften steeper and closer together (and thereforecan potentially hurt your speed much more)Boat waves typically hit you at strange angles(rather than straight with the wind) And fortu-nately they usually come and go pretty quickly
The first rule for maintaining speedthrough waves is to hit them at an angle(instead of head on)This is normally worthdoing even if it requires a significant alteration inthe course you have been sailing In fact it mayeven make sense to tack or jibe so big waveshit your stern rather than your bow
The second rule of thumb for motorboatwaves is to make sure you are going fast justbefore you hit them In other words be proac-tive by bearing off (or heading up on a run)easing (or trimming) your sails moving weightaft etc Dont wait until the first wave hits youbefore making these changes
As I mentioned above you ideally want tohit motorboat waves at an oblique angle andfully powered up But sometimes you cant doboth When the waves are coming at you paral-lel to the wind you have to make a choice Itsusually better to hit waves at an angle even ifyou have to pinch up and lose a little speedThis seems better than bearing off for speedand hitting the waves head on
Waves relative to windIn any wind velocity there is a certain size andshape of waves that you normally see with thatamount of wind In a five-knot breeze forexample the water surface should be almosttotally flat In 18 knots of wind however youexpect to see fairly good-sized waves withwhitecaps
But as every sailor knows you dontalways get normal sea conditions You mightsee bigger or smaller waves than whats typicalfor that wind velocity and this will affect howyou set up and sail your boat
When Im racing I categorize the wavestate in three general ways
1) Normal waves for the wind 2) Morewind than waves and 3) More waves thanwind Heres a closer look at each
More wind than waves This is almost always a fun condition for sailing(unless youre trying to do a windy jibe) Itsgreat (or painting and speed and makes stay-ing in the groove pretty easy
Here are several times when you are like-ly to see this condition
bull A building breezemdashthe breeze is up butthe waves havent had time to build yet
bull An offshore breezemdashthe water is flatteras you get closer to land because there is lessfetch for the waves to build
bull Current flowing with the wind When you have more wind than waves
you can trim your sails flatter and harder thanyou normally would in that breeze You shouldsail most boats as flat as possible and go formaximum height (pointing)
More waves than wind This is almost always a tough condition for sail-ing (unless you are sailing downwind withenough breeze to surf) It makes finding thegroove difficult and it quickly separates thegood sailors from the rest
You will typically see this condition withbull A dying breezemdashthe breeze always
changes faster than the wave state bull An onshore breezemdashwhen the wind is
blowing toward the shore it usually has a longfetch for the waves to build
bull Current flowing against the wind bull Lots of motorboat wakes (the worst) When you have more waves than wind be
careful about trimming too hard or pointing toohigh Err on the side of twist power and footingso you keep going fast

Watch for leeway caused by waves Waves make sailboats go up and down and they also push boats to leeward
The difference between the course you steer and the course you make goodthrough the water is your leeway angle The size of this angle is a result of
many factors such as heel angle wind velocity boat design and waveheight Though leeway for racing boats is usually not more than a few
degrees it will get slightly larger as the waves get bigger The main place where you will notice leeway is in relationto fixed objects like marks Your laylines are wider for
example in waves so you must allow a little extra distance before tacking
One place where its easyto see how much the waves pushyou to leeward is at the starting lineWhen boats attempt to luff in place on the line
they often slide much farther to leeward thanthey think Thats one reason why there
is often a significant line sag when thewaves are big
Go fast upwindin waves
Except for those few times when youare able to ride a motorboat wake
coming from behind waves are neverhelpful when youre racing upwind Itsalways faster to sail in flatter water andthat should be your first rule of thumbon beats
Sailing fast in waves requires ateam effort that involves the drivertrimmers and the rest of the crew Youhave to look ahead for waves that arecoming shift gears and find the bestway to steer through them
There are three basic strategies fordealing with waves upwind You cansail directly through the waves steerover the waves or try to avoid thewaves More likely you will do somecombination of the above
Going straight through waves isusually the best option when the wavesare everywhere and too small to steeraround The bigger and heavier yourboat the more likely you are to takethis approach since its often impossibleor slow to turn your rudder for individ-ual waves
This is not a great option for biggerwaves but sometimes it is your onlychoice (eg when all the waves are bigand steep) In that case try to keep the
boat going a little faster than usual upthe beat The most costly mistake is tobe too slow when you hit a bad wave
Anticipation is important The keyto maintaining speed through badwaves is to shift gears before you get tothem That means you need enoughwarning to power up your sail planbefore the bow digs into the first wave
Steering over the waves is a goodidea when they are larger and spacedfarther apart and when going straightthrough them is slow The smaller andlighter your boat the more effectivethis is
The basic technique for sailingover waves is to head up on the frontside and bear off the back side In other
30 Visit Northern Breezes Online wwwsailingbreezescom - JuneJuly 2010
words luff toward the wind a little asyou go up the wave and then bear offaway from the wind as you go down theback side The steeper the wave and thefaster your speed over the waves themore sharply you will have to turn yourhelm and your boat
In boats that are light enough to beaffected by the positioning of crewweight combine the steering with arotational movement of your bodiesLean aft (and maybe in a little) as yougo up the wave Then lean out and for-ward as you go over the top and downthe back side
Avoiding waves is always the pre-ferred option This works well whenyou have identifiable areas of badwaves such as boat wakes or sets ofespecially large steep waves Sinceyou can never avoid all waves youmust use this in concert with otherways to sail through waves but thisstrategy should always be a part of yourupwind plan
The techniques that work best inwaves are often subtle enough that younever know how well they are workinguntil you measure your performanceagainst nearby boats So test your wavestrategy before the start and continue toevaluate it during the race If youre notfast change something and try again
Put your weight in the right places One of the reasons why waves make a boat gomore slowly is because they cause it to hobby-horse which disrupts the air flow around itssails and the water flow around its foils This isespecially harmful in lighter air
The main goal of positioning your weightin waves therefore should be to reduce hobby-horsing Keep your crew together as much aspossible and near the middle of the boat In lightair the ideal spot is right at the top of the keelsince that is the point around which the sailplan hull and foils pivot When conditions arebumpy and light its not unusual for crews to sitdown below on the cabin sole (in bigger boats)or to crouch down inside the cockpit (one-designs)This reduces the range of motion ofthe mast and keelcenterboard
In heavy air the crew cant be inside theboat of course Instead they should sit tightlytogether like the crew on the boat above Thefore-and-aft position of their weight depends onthe boat wind strength and wave shapeGenerally the crew should be at least slightlyfarther aft when its rough (than when its flatwith the same wind velocity) to keep the bowfrom plowing into waves
If youre racing upwind in waves and youthink your weight is positioned perfectly but youarent going fast try moving your crew a littlefarther apart Sometimes the boat doesnt clickwith the natural frequency of the wavesmdashbutdifferent crew spacing may improve this har-mony (and therefore your speed)
These waves are unusually large uniform and rounded on top so its not necessary tosteer around them very much The ideal course would be a gradual slight arc to windwardon the approaching face of the wave followed by a similar bearing off down the back side
How much to steer in wavesWhen youre sailing upwind waves will
always slow you down so you should avoidthem as much as possible (see below)However when you turn your rudder to steeraround waves the drag you create will alsomake you go slower Therefore you are alwayssearching for the optimal tradeoff betweenusing a lot of rudder and missing waves versususing less rudder and hitting waves
The only true way to judge whether youare doing a good (fast) job of this is by com-paring your performance to that of a nearbyboat Thats why its critical when you havewaves to train with another boat if possible andto tune up with a competitor before every raceWhile you are doing this try different steeringtechniques to see what is fastest in the unique
conditions that you have on any dayThe last thing you
want to do in awavy race is
to be look-ing for
the groove as you come off the starting line Several factors influence the tradeoff of
how aggressively you should steer (ie howquickly and how far you should turn the rud-der) Here are two important considerations
bull Size and shape of the waves - Are thewaves big small rounded or crested Howsteep and close together are they You donthave to steer much in small waves or even bigswells but medium-size waves can present atough challenge especially when theyre steepandor close together
bull Characteristics of your boat - Is yourboat large or small (relative to the waves) lightor heavy Does it turn easily Does it have anarrow bow that cuts easily through the wavesor a fat bow that slams into waves All thesefactors affect the tradeoff of hitting a wave ver-sus turning to miss it
One thing thats true for all boats andwaves is that when you turn the boat its bestto do this with as little rudder as possibleReduce drag by steering with sail trim and bodyweight For example use windward helm toallow the boat to carve its own turn to windwardon the front of the wave Then at the top of thewave hike out hard and ease the mainsheet ortraveler to help bear off down the back side Ifyou can turn the boat without so much dragthen the tradeoff moves in the direction of steer-ing to miss more waves

Clean Vessel Act GrantsHelp Marinas Keep WatersClean and Healthy
US Fish and Wildlife Service actingDirector Rowan Gould announced
on May 7 2010 $128 million will beawarded to 31 states under the CleanVessel Act grant program in 2010 Thegrants will be used to fund the construc-tion and installation of sewage pumpoutfacilities and floating restrooms to pur-chase pumpout boats and to provide edu-cational programs for recreationalboaters as they have been since the pro-grams inception in the early 1990s
Clean Vessel Act funding supportsthe construction of facilities in communi-ties that depend largely on recreationalboating for their economy - and dependon clean water for their health and thehealth of their environment said GouldIn a time of economic uncertainty thesegrants also provide an immediate invest-ment in construction jobs and infrastruc-ture that provide lasting value for recre-ational boaters state agencies and localcommunities
To date the program - administeredby the US Fish and Wildlife Service -has awarded more than $172 million tostates to install thousands of sewagepumpout stations In addition manystates now rely upon mobile sewagepumpout boats to make the sewage col-lection process more efficient and con-venient for boaters A number of statesalso have begun installing floating rest-rooms and pumpout stations in high useareas of lakes and coastal waters
Funding for the CVA program comesfrom the Sport Fishing and Boating TrustFund formerly known as the Aquatic

Resources Trust Fund which is support-ed by excise taxes levied on certain fish-ing and boating equipment and boat fuels
Some of the major grant programawards made today include the follow-ing
Indiana $189345 - The IndianaDepartment of EnvironmentalManagement plans to increase the num-ber of pumpout stations at a number ofmarinas and increase awareness of theClean Vessel Act The Department willalso encourage marinas to increase publicawareness about the importance ofboaters adhering to acceptable sewagedisposal
Wisconsin $105000 - TheWisconsin Department of NaturalResources will provide financial assis-tance awards for the construction orreplacement of sanitary pumpout andwaste reception facilities along coastalwaters of Wisconsin Wisconsin will con-tinue educational efforts to improvepumpout and waste reception facility useby improving communications with mari-na operators

Often I chat withboaters regarding a
wide range of boat-smarttopics fog being one Thattopic came to the forefrontafter a fog bank shroudedthe waters off Manisteeduring the Salmon Splash333 fishing TournamentThe captains I spoke withemphasized safety and situ-ational awareness whenoperating in fog in otherwords boat smart
Manisteersquos 2009Salmon Splash 333 Best ofthe Best boasted a $10000first-place price Needlessto say fog was not goingto deter anglers from pur-suing the grand prize evenit meant running in fogwhich they did on the sec-ond day of the tournament In all therewere 58 boats in the tournament
With that many boats picking theirway through the fog in close proximitythe chance for collisions seemed immi-nent yet none occurred or at least nonethat were reported Several captains Ispoke with told me they lost fishinglines severed when boats crossed theirstern ldquoBut that comes with the territo-ryrdquo said one captain referring to thefog especially when fishing linesextend well off the stern
What impressed me about theanglers I spoke with and the tourna-ment guidelines is that safety ruledMatthew Salerno and his brother Tonywho won the $10000 prize aboard theirboat Living a Dream told me they trollat about 25 knots with a forward look-out at all times Safety equipment isreadily at hand and the crew is familiarwith its use
Communicating with other tourna-ment boats is prohibited whether it bea cell phone or marine radio unless inthe event of an emergency These
anglers were literally on their own andalone in the fog ldquoWe kept our eyes onthe radar at all timesrdquo said MattSalerno Not all the boats howevercarried radar but still kept safe by fol-lowing a basic navigation rule
Rule 6 of the Navigation Rulesstates ldquoEvery vessel shall at all timesproceed at a safe speed so that she cantake proper and effective action toavoid collision and be stopped within adistance appropriate to the prevailingcircumstances and conditionsrdquo
One of the conditions addressed inthe rules is state of visibilityApparently these anglers some ofwhom were Coast Guard licensed cap-tains understood the rules and so com-plied However not all the boaters onthe lake that day
were part of the tournament norexercising boat smarts one such boaternearly slammed into one of the tourna-ment boats
ldquoWe were fishing a mile off BigPoint Sable in a hundred and thirty feetof water when out of the fog emerged
this 35-foot powerboatheading right at us pullinga dingy off its sternrdquo saidthe captain of the tourna-ment boat Katch-Me ldquoWewaved our arms andhollered as he bore downon usrdquo The captain figuresthe boat was travelingabout 15 knots
One of the crewmanaboard believes the boatoperator was not expect-ing to encounter in fog afleet of boats on LakeMichigan on a Thursdaymorning Thursday morn-ing or Saturday afternoonhas little to do with main-taining a proper lookoutand using all availablemeans to avoid a collisionin fog Also towing a
dinghy behind a boat in fog is not toobright Another boat could run over thetow line and foul its prop(s) or theboater pulling it might snag the towingline while backing down to avoid a col-lision
What I find disturbing about thisincident is that the tournament boaterswere using all means available toassure not only their own safety butthat of their fellow anglers Then alongcomes a boater who seems oblivious tothe safety of others or worse yet wasjust boat stupid
I suspect it is the latter untilboaters are required to boat smart thosethat do must keep a very sharp lookoutfog or not

Waves are like snowflakes No twoare exactly the same and therefore
you have to treat each one as a unique anddifferent entity The same is true in thebig picturemdashevery sequence of wavesyou face during a race will be at least alittle different from anything you haveever seen before So you must continual-ly work at finding the optimal paththrough the waves you face
When you get to the race course it ishelpful to ask a few questions to under-stand the waves and how they will affectyour race
bull Are the waves perpendicular to thewind direction If the waves are flowingin the same direction as the wind thenyou will generally have symmetry fromtack to tack But If not you will need toset things up differently on each tack
bull Are you going faster or slower thanthe waves downwind Figure out if thewaves are helping you (ie theyre goingfaster than you) or hurting you (yourefaster than them) Also do surfing condi-tions exist This is key to knowing if youare allowed to pump your sails Here arefurther explanations of some of theseconcepts

Key wave conceptsby David Dellenbaugh
bull Whats causing the waves The sizeand shape of waves will depend onwhether they are caused by wind currentor boats You could have smooth swellsfrom a storm far away steep chop when astrong breeze blows over shallow wateror when current flows against the windor random chop from motorboats in aspectator fleet
bull Are the waves the normal size thatyou would expect for the wind velocityFor various reasons the waves might belarger or smaller than normal (see below)This could have huge implications forsteering trimming and sailing the boat
Check for wave asymmetry When youre racing upwind are the waves equal on each tack They are usually similar on port andstarboard tacks because waves are created by the wind and therefore they come from that directionHowever this is not always the case Sometimes the waves are not perpendicular to the wind andthis can have a huge impact on the way you sail your boat
There are several reasons why waves may be different from tack to tack bull Windshifts - If the waves are at first aligned with the wind any change in wind direction will
make them unaligned (at least for a while)This is very common bull Presence of nearby land - If there is land to windward of the course it could affect how waves
move across the racing area bull A distant storm -When youre racing on the ocean there are often swells coming from a direc-
tion thats very different from your sailing wind bull Cross-current - If you have a strong current that is not aligned with the wind it often creates
waves that arent square to the wind When you first start sailing in your race area check to see if the waves are the same on each
tack If not make the appropriate sail trim adjustments For example you will have to make your sailsfuller and more twisted on the bumpier tack (which goes more directly into the waves) On the other(smoother) tack you may be able to trim your sails much flatter and tighter You can point higher onthis tack too and keep your weight a little farther forward
There are also strategic implications of wave asymmetry For example if port tack is smootherit might mean the wind has shifted to the right When wave asymmetry is caused by a persistentwindshift its better to sail the smoother tack first since that will take you in the direction where thewind is shifting
Motorboat waves It would be hard to run most sailboat raceswithout motorboats but it sure would be nice ifwe could run them without motorboat wakesUnfortunately waves from motorboats are afact of life in most racing venues and the goodsailors simply figure out how to handle them
Motorboat waves differ from wind gener-ated waves in several important ways They areoften steeper and closer together (and thereforecan potentially hurt your speed much more)Boat waves typically hit you at strange angles(rather than straight with the wind) And fortu-nately they usually come and go pretty quickly
The first rule for maintaining speedthrough waves is to hit them at an angle(instead of head on)This is normally worthdoing even if it requires a significant alteration inthe course you have been sailing In fact it mayeven make sense to tack or jibe so big waveshit your stern rather than your bow
The second rule of thumb for motorboatwaves is to make sure you are going fast justbefore you hit them In other words be proac-tive by bearing off (or heading up on a run)easing (or trimming) your sails moving weightaft etc Dont wait until the first wave hits youbefore making these changes
As I mentioned above you ideally want tohit motorboat waves at an oblique angle andfully powered up But sometimes you cant doboth When the waves are coming at you paral-lel to the wind you have to make a choice Itsusually better to hit waves at an angle even ifyou have to pinch up and lose a little speedThis seems better than bearing off for speedand hitting the waves head on
Waves relative to windIn any wind velocity there is a certain size andshape of waves that you normally see with thatamount of wind In a five-knot breeze forexample the water surface should be almosttotally flat In 18 knots of wind however youexpect to see fairly good-sized waves withwhitecaps
But as every sailor knows you dontalways get normal sea conditions You mightsee bigger or smaller waves than whats typicalfor that wind velocity and this will affect howyou set up and sail your boat
When Im racing I categorize the wavestate in three general ways
1) Normal waves for the wind 2) Morewind than waves and 3) More waves thanwind Heres a closer look at each
More wind than waves This is almost always a fun condition for sailing(unless youre trying to do a windy jibe) Itsgreat (or painting and speed and makes stay-ing in the groove pretty easy
Here are several times when you are like-ly to see this condition
bull A building breezemdashthe breeze is up butthe waves havent had time to build yet
bull An offshore breezemdashthe water is flatteras you get closer to land because there is lessfetch for the waves to build
bull Current flowing with the wind When you have more wind than waves
you can trim your sails flatter and harder thanyou normally would in that breeze You shouldsail most boats as flat as possible and go formaximum height (pointing)
More waves than wind This is almost always a tough condition for sail-ing (unless you are sailing downwind withenough breeze to surf) It makes finding thegroove difficult and it quickly separates thegood sailors from the rest
You will typically see this condition withbull A dying breezemdashthe breeze always
changes faster than the wave state bull An onshore breezemdashwhen the wind is
blowing toward the shore it usually has a longfetch for the waves to build
bull Current flowing against the wind bull Lots of motorboat wakes (the worst) When you have more waves than wind be
careful about trimming too hard or pointing toohigh Err on the side of twist power and footingso you keep going fast

Watch for leeway caused by waves Waves make sailboats go up and down and they also push boats to leeward
The difference between the course you steer and the course you make goodthrough the water is your leeway angle The size of this angle is a result of
many factors such as heel angle wind velocity boat design and waveheight Though leeway for racing boats is usually not more than a few
degrees it will get slightly larger as the waves get bigger The main place where you will notice leeway is in relationto fixed objects like marks Your laylines are wider for
example in waves so you must allow a little extra distance before tacking
One place where its easyto see how much the waves pushyou to leeward is at the starting lineWhen boats attempt to luff in place on the line
they often slide much farther to leeward thanthey think Thats one reason why there
is often a significant line sag when thewaves are big
Go fast upwindin waves
Except for those few times when youare able to ride a motorboat wake
coming from behind waves are neverhelpful when youre racing upwind Itsalways faster to sail in flatter water andthat should be your first rule of thumbon beats
Sailing fast in waves requires ateam effort that involves the drivertrimmers and the rest of the crew Youhave to look ahead for waves that arecoming shift gears and find the bestway to steer through them
There are three basic strategies fordealing with waves upwind You cansail directly through the waves steerover the waves or try to avoid thewaves More likely you will do somecombination of the above
Going straight through waves isusually the best option when the wavesare everywhere and too small to steeraround The bigger and heavier yourboat the more likely you are to takethis approach since its often impossibleor slow to turn your rudder for individ-ual waves
This is not a great option for biggerwaves but sometimes it is your onlychoice (eg when all the waves are bigand steep) In that case try to keep the
boat going a little faster than usual upthe beat The most costly mistake is tobe too slow when you hit a bad wave
Anticipation is important The keyto maintaining speed through badwaves is to shift gears before you get tothem That means you need enoughwarning to power up your sail planbefore the bow digs into the first wave
Steering over the waves is a goodidea when they are larger and spacedfarther apart and when going straightthrough them is slow The smaller andlighter your boat the more effectivethis is
The basic technique for sailingover waves is to head up on the frontside and bear off the back side In other
30 Visit Northern Breezes Online wwwsailingbreezescom - JuneJuly 2010
words luff toward the wind a little asyou go up the wave and then bear offaway from the wind as you go down theback side The steeper the wave and thefaster your speed over the waves themore sharply you will have to turn yourhelm and your boat
In boats that are light enough to beaffected by the positioning of crewweight combine the steering with arotational movement of your bodiesLean aft (and maybe in a little) as yougo up the wave Then lean out and for-ward as you go over the top and downthe back side
Avoiding waves is always the pre-ferred option This works well whenyou have identifiable areas of badwaves such as boat wakes or sets ofespecially large steep waves Sinceyou can never avoid all waves youmust use this in concert with otherways to sail through waves but thisstrategy should always be a part of yourupwind plan
The techniques that work best inwaves are often subtle enough that younever know how well they are workinguntil you measure your performanceagainst nearby boats So test your wavestrategy before the start and continue toevaluate it during the race If youre notfast change something and try again
Put your weight in the right places One of the reasons why waves make a boat gomore slowly is because they cause it to hobby-horse which disrupts the air flow around itssails and the water flow around its foils This isespecially harmful in lighter air
The main goal of positioning your weightin waves therefore should be to reduce hobby-horsing Keep your crew together as much aspossible and near the middle of the boat In lightair the ideal spot is right at the top of the keelsince that is the point around which the sailplan hull and foils pivot When conditions arebumpy and light its not unusual for crews to sitdown below on the cabin sole (in bigger boats)or to crouch down inside the cockpit (one-designs)This reduces the range of motion ofthe mast and keelcenterboard
In heavy air the crew cant be inside theboat of course Instead they should sit tightlytogether like the crew on the boat above Thefore-and-aft position of their weight depends onthe boat wind strength and wave shapeGenerally the crew should be at least slightlyfarther aft when its rough (than when its flatwith the same wind velocity) to keep the bowfrom plowing into waves
If youre racing upwind in waves and youthink your weight is positioned perfectly but youarent going fast try moving your crew a littlefarther apart Sometimes the boat doesnt clickwith the natural frequency of the wavesmdashbutdifferent crew spacing may improve this har-mony (and therefore your speed)
These waves are unusually large uniform and rounded on top so its not necessary tosteer around them very much The ideal course would be a gradual slight arc to windwardon the approaching face of the wave followed by a similar bearing off down the back side
How much to steer in wavesWhen youre sailing upwind waves will
always slow you down so you should avoidthem as much as possible (see below)However when you turn your rudder to steeraround waves the drag you create will alsomake you go slower Therefore you are alwayssearching for the optimal tradeoff betweenusing a lot of rudder and missing waves versususing less rudder and hitting waves
The only true way to judge whether youare doing a good (fast) job of this is by com-paring your performance to that of a nearbyboat Thats why its critical when you havewaves to train with another boat if possible andto tune up with a competitor before every raceWhile you are doing this try different steeringtechniques to see what is fastest in the unique
conditions that you have on any dayThe last thing you
want to do in awavy race is
to be look-ing for
the groove as you come off the starting line Several factors influence the tradeoff of
how aggressively you should steer (ie howquickly and how far you should turn the rud-der) Here are two important considerations
bull Size and shape of the waves - Are thewaves big small rounded or crested Howsteep and close together are they You donthave to steer much in small waves or even bigswells but medium-size waves can present atough challenge especially when theyre steepandor close together
bull Characteristics of your boat - Is yourboat large or small (relative to the waves) lightor heavy Does it turn easily Does it have anarrow bow that cuts easily through the wavesor a fat bow that slams into waves All thesefactors affect the tradeoff of hitting a wave ver-sus turning to miss it
One thing thats true for all boats andwaves is that when you turn the boat its bestto do this with as little rudder as possibleReduce drag by steering with sail trim and bodyweight For example use windward helm toallow the boat to carve its own turn to windwardon the front of the wave Then at the top of thewave hike out hard and ease the mainsheet ortraveler to help bear off down the back side Ifyou can turn the boat without so much dragthen the tradeoff moves in the direction of steer-ing to miss more waves

Clean Vessel Act GrantsHelp Marinas Keep WatersClean and Healthy
US Fish and Wildlife Service actingDirector Rowan Gould announced
on May 7 2010 $128 million will beawarded to 31 states under the CleanVessel Act grant program in 2010 Thegrants will be used to fund the construc-tion and installation of sewage pumpoutfacilities and floating restrooms to pur-chase pumpout boats and to provide edu-cational programs for recreationalboaters as they have been since the pro-grams inception in the early 1990s
Clean Vessel Act funding supportsthe construction of facilities in communi-ties that depend largely on recreationalboating for their economy - and dependon clean water for their health and thehealth of their environment said GouldIn a time of economic uncertainty thesegrants also provide an immediate invest-ment in construction jobs and infrastruc-ture that provide lasting value for recre-ational boaters state agencies and localcommunities
To date the program - administeredby the US Fish and Wildlife Service -has awarded more than $172 million tostates to install thousands of sewagepumpout stations In addition manystates now rely upon mobile sewagepumpout boats to make the sewage col-lection process more efficient and con-venient for boaters A number of statesalso have begun installing floating rest-rooms and pumpout stations in high useareas of lakes and coastal waters
Funding for the CVA program comesfrom the Sport Fishing and Boating TrustFund formerly known as the Aquatic

Resources Trust Fund which is support-ed by excise taxes levied on certain fish-ing and boating equipment and boat fuels
Some of the major grant programawards made today include the follow-ing
Indiana $189345 - The IndianaDepartment of EnvironmentalManagement plans to increase the num-ber of pumpout stations at a number ofmarinas and increase awareness of theClean Vessel Act The Department willalso encourage marinas to increase publicawareness about the importance ofboaters adhering to acceptable sewagedisposal
Wisconsin $105000 - TheWisconsin Department of NaturalResources will provide financial assis-tance awards for the construction orreplacement of sanitary pumpout andwaste reception facilities along coastalwaters of Wisconsin Wisconsin will con-tinue educational efforts to improvepumpout and waste reception facility useby improving communications with mari-na operators

Often I chat withboaters regarding a
wide range of boat-smarttopics fog being one Thattopic came to the forefrontafter a fog bank shroudedthe waters off Manisteeduring the Salmon Splash333 fishing TournamentThe captains I spoke withemphasized safety and situ-ational awareness whenoperating in fog in otherwords boat smart
Manisteersquos 2009Salmon Splash 333 Best ofthe Best boasted a $10000first-place price Needlessto say fog was not goingto deter anglers from pur-suing the grand prize evenit meant running in fogwhich they did on the sec-ond day of the tournament In all therewere 58 boats in the tournament
With that many boats picking theirway through the fog in close proximitythe chance for collisions seemed immi-nent yet none occurred or at least nonethat were reported Several captains Ispoke with told me they lost fishinglines severed when boats crossed theirstern ldquoBut that comes with the territo-ryrdquo said one captain referring to thefog especially when fishing linesextend well off the stern
What impressed me about theanglers I spoke with and the tourna-ment guidelines is that safety ruledMatthew Salerno and his brother Tonywho won the $10000 prize aboard theirboat Living a Dream told me they trollat about 25 knots with a forward look-out at all times Safety equipment isreadily at hand and the crew is familiarwith its use
Communicating with other tourna-ment boats is prohibited whether it bea cell phone or marine radio unless inthe event of an emergency These
anglers were literally on their own andalone in the fog ldquoWe kept our eyes onthe radar at all timesrdquo said MattSalerno Not all the boats howevercarried radar but still kept safe by fol-lowing a basic navigation rule
Rule 6 of the Navigation Rulesstates ldquoEvery vessel shall at all timesproceed at a safe speed so that she cantake proper and effective action toavoid collision and be stopped within adistance appropriate to the prevailingcircumstances and conditionsrdquo
One of the conditions addressed inthe rules is state of visibilityApparently these anglers some ofwhom were Coast Guard licensed cap-tains understood the rules and so com-plied However not all the boaters onthe lake that day
were part of the tournament norexercising boat smarts one such boaternearly slammed into one of the tourna-ment boats
ldquoWe were fishing a mile off BigPoint Sable in a hundred and thirty feetof water when out of the fog emerged
this 35-foot powerboatheading right at us pullinga dingy off its sternrdquo saidthe captain of the tourna-ment boat Katch-Me ldquoWewaved our arms andhollered as he bore downon usrdquo The captain figuresthe boat was travelingabout 15 knots
One of the crewmanaboard believes the boatoperator was not expect-ing to encounter in fog afleet of boats on LakeMichigan on a Thursdaymorning Thursday morn-ing or Saturday afternoonhas little to do with main-taining a proper lookoutand using all availablemeans to avoid a collisionin fog Also towing a
dinghy behind a boat in fog is not toobright Another boat could run over thetow line and foul its prop(s) or theboater pulling it might snag the towingline while backing down to avoid a col-lision
What I find disturbing about thisincident is that the tournament boaterswere using all means available toassure not only their own safety butthat of their fellow anglers Then alongcomes a boater who seems oblivious tothe safety of others or worse yet wasjust boat stupid
I suspect it is the latter untilboaters are required to boat smart thosethat do must keep a very sharp lookoutfog or not

Waves are like snowflakes No twoare exactly the same and therefore
you have to treat each one as a unique anddifferent entity The same is true in thebig picturemdashevery sequence of wavesyou face during a race will be at least alittle different from anything you haveever seen before So you must continual-ly work at finding the optimal paththrough the waves you face
When you get to the race course it ishelpful to ask a few questions to under-stand the waves and how they will affectyour race
bull Are the waves perpendicular to thewind direction If the waves are flowingin the same direction as the wind thenyou will generally have symmetry fromtack to tack But If not you will need toset things up differently on each tack
bull Are you going faster or slower thanthe waves downwind Figure out if thewaves are helping you (ie theyre goingfaster than you) or hurting you (yourefaster than them) Also do surfing condi-tions exist This is key to knowing if youare allowed to pump your sails Here arefurther explanations of some of theseconcepts

Key wave conceptsby David Dellenbaugh
bull Whats causing the waves The sizeand shape of waves will depend onwhether they are caused by wind currentor boats You could have smooth swellsfrom a storm far away steep chop when astrong breeze blows over shallow wateror when current flows against the windor random chop from motorboats in aspectator fleet
bull Are the waves the normal size thatyou would expect for the wind velocityFor various reasons the waves might belarger or smaller than normal (see below)This could have huge implications forsteering trimming and sailing the boat
Check for wave asymmetry When youre racing upwind are the waves equal on each tack They are usually similar on port andstarboard tacks because waves are created by the wind and therefore they come from that directionHowever this is not always the case Sometimes the waves are not perpendicular to the wind andthis can have a huge impact on the way you sail your boat
There are several reasons why waves may be different from tack to tack bull Windshifts - If the waves are at first aligned with the wind any change in wind direction will
make them unaligned (at least for a while)This is very common bull Presence of nearby land - If there is land to windward of the course it could affect how waves
move across the racing area bull A distant storm -When youre racing on the ocean there are often swells coming from a direc-
tion thats very different from your sailing wind bull Cross-current - If you have a strong current that is not aligned with the wind it often creates
waves that arent square to the wind When you first start sailing in your race area check to see if the waves are the same on each
tack If not make the appropriate sail trim adjustments For example you will have to make your sailsfuller and more twisted on the bumpier tack (which goes more directly into the waves) On the other(smoother) tack you may be able to trim your sails much flatter and tighter You can point higher onthis tack too and keep your weight a little farther forward
There are also strategic implications of wave asymmetry For example if port tack is smootherit might mean the wind has shifted to the right When wave asymmetry is caused by a persistentwindshift its better to sail the smoother tack first since that will take you in the direction where thewind is shifting
Motorboat waves It would be hard to run most sailboat raceswithout motorboats but it sure would be nice ifwe could run them without motorboat wakesUnfortunately waves from motorboats are afact of life in most racing venues and the goodsailors simply figure out how to handle them
Motorboat waves differ from wind gener-ated waves in several important ways They areoften steeper and closer together (and thereforecan potentially hurt your speed much more)Boat waves typically hit you at strange angles(rather than straight with the wind) And fortu-nately they usually come and go pretty quickly
The first rule for maintaining speedthrough waves is to hit them at an angle(instead of head on)This is normally worthdoing even if it requires a significant alteration inthe course you have been sailing In fact it mayeven make sense to tack or jibe so big waveshit your stern rather than your bow
The second rule of thumb for motorboatwaves is to make sure you are going fast justbefore you hit them In other words be proac-tive by bearing off (or heading up on a run)easing (or trimming) your sails moving weightaft etc Dont wait until the first wave hits youbefore making these changes
As I mentioned above you ideally want tohit motorboat waves at an oblique angle andfully powered up But sometimes you cant doboth When the waves are coming at you paral-lel to the wind you have to make a choice Itsusually better to hit waves at an angle even ifyou have to pinch up and lose a little speedThis seems better than bearing off for speedand hitting the waves head on
Waves relative to windIn any wind velocity there is a certain size andshape of waves that you normally see with thatamount of wind In a five-knot breeze forexample the water surface should be almosttotally flat In 18 knots of wind however youexpect to see fairly good-sized waves withwhitecaps
But as every sailor knows you dontalways get normal sea conditions You mightsee bigger or smaller waves than whats typicalfor that wind velocity and this will affect howyou set up and sail your boat
When Im racing I categorize the wavestate in three general ways
1) Normal waves for the wind 2) Morewind than waves and 3) More waves thanwind Heres a closer look at each
More wind than waves This is almost always a fun condition for sailing(unless youre trying to do a windy jibe) Itsgreat (or painting and speed and makes stay-ing in the groove pretty easy
Here are several times when you are like-ly to see this condition
bull A building breezemdashthe breeze is up butthe waves havent had time to build yet
bull An offshore breezemdashthe water is flatteras you get closer to land because there is lessfetch for the waves to build
bull Current flowing with the wind When you have more wind than waves
you can trim your sails flatter and harder thanyou normally would in that breeze You shouldsail most boats as flat as possible and go formaximum height (pointing)
More waves than wind This is almost always a tough condition for sail-ing (unless you are sailing downwind withenough breeze to surf) It makes finding thegroove difficult and it quickly separates thegood sailors from the rest
You will typically see this condition withbull A dying breezemdashthe breeze always
changes faster than the wave state bull An onshore breezemdashwhen the wind is
blowing toward the shore it usually has a longfetch for the waves to build
bull Current flowing against the wind bull Lots of motorboat wakes (the worst) When you have more waves than wind be
careful about trimming too hard or pointing toohigh Err on the side of twist power and footingso you keep going fast

Watch for leeway caused by waves Waves make sailboats go up and down and they also push boats to leeward
The difference between the course you steer and the course you make goodthrough the water is your leeway angle The size of this angle is a result of
many factors such as heel angle wind velocity boat design and waveheight Though leeway for racing boats is usually not more than a few
degrees it will get slightly larger as the waves get bigger The main place where you will notice leeway is in relationto fixed objects like marks Your laylines are wider for
example in waves so you must allow a little extra distance before tacking
One place where its easyto see how much the waves pushyou to leeward is at the starting lineWhen boats attempt to luff in place on the line
they often slide much farther to leeward thanthey think Thats one reason why there
is often a significant line sag when thewaves are big
Go fast upwindin waves
Except for those few times when youare able to ride a motorboat wake
coming from behind waves are neverhelpful when youre racing upwind Itsalways faster to sail in flatter water andthat should be your first rule of thumbon beats
Sailing fast in waves requires ateam effort that involves the drivertrimmers and the rest of the crew Youhave to look ahead for waves that arecoming shift gears and find the bestway to steer through them
There are three basic strategies fordealing with waves upwind You cansail directly through the waves steerover the waves or try to avoid thewaves More likely you will do somecombination of the above
Going straight through waves isusually the best option when the wavesare everywhere and too small to steeraround The bigger and heavier yourboat the more likely you are to takethis approach since its often impossibleor slow to turn your rudder for individ-ual waves
This is not a great option for biggerwaves but sometimes it is your onlychoice (eg when all the waves are bigand steep) In that case try to keep the
boat going a little faster than usual upthe beat The most costly mistake is tobe too slow when you hit a bad wave
Anticipation is important The keyto maintaining speed through badwaves is to shift gears before you get tothem That means you need enoughwarning to power up your sail planbefore the bow digs into the first wave
Steering over the waves is a goodidea when they are larger and spacedfarther apart and when going straightthrough them is slow The smaller andlighter your boat the more effectivethis is
The basic technique for sailingover waves is to head up on the frontside and bear off the back side In other
30 Visit Northern Breezes Online wwwsailingbreezescom - JuneJuly 2010
words luff toward the wind a little asyou go up the wave and then bear offaway from the wind as you go down theback side The steeper the wave and thefaster your speed over the waves themore sharply you will have to turn yourhelm and your boat
In boats that are light enough to beaffected by the positioning of crewweight combine the steering with arotational movement of your bodiesLean aft (and maybe in a little) as yougo up the wave Then lean out and for-ward as you go over the top and downthe back side
Avoiding waves is always the pre-ferred option This works well whenyou have identifiable areas of badwaves such as boat wakes or sets ofespecially large steep waves Sinceyou can never avoid all waves youmust use this in concert with otherways to sail through waves but thisstrategy should always be a part of yourupwind plan
The techniques that work best inwaves are often subtle enough that younever know how well they are workinguntil you measure your performanceagainst nearby boats So test your wavestrategy before the start and continue toevaluate it during the race If youre notfast change something and try again
Put your weight in the right places One of the reasons why waves make a boat gomore slowly is because they cause it to hobby-horse which disrupts the air flow around itssails and the water flow around its foils This isespecially harmful in lighter air
The main goal of positioning your weightin waves therefore should be to reduce hobby-horsing Keep your crew together as much aspossible and near the middle of the boat In lightair the ideal spot is right at the top of the keelsince that is the point around which the sailplan hull and foils pivot When conditions arebumpy and light its not unusual for crews to sitdown below on the cabin sole (in bigger boats)or to crouch down inside the cockpit (one-designs)This reduces the range of motion ofthe mast and keelcenterboard
In heavy air the crew cant be inside theboat of course Instead they should sit tightlytogether like the crew on the boat above Thefore-and-aft position of their weight depends onthe boat wind strength and wave shapeGenerally the crew should be at least slightlyfarther aft when its rough (than when its flatwith the same wind velocity) to keep the bowfrom plowing into waves
If youre racing upwind in waves and youthink your weight is positioned perfectly but youarent going fast try moving your crew a littlefarther apart Sometimes the boat doesnt clickwith the natural frequency of the wavesmdashbutdifferent crew spacing may improve this har-mony (and therefore your speed)
These waves are unusually large uniform and rounded on top so its not necessary tosteer around them very much The ideal course would be a gradual slight arc to windwardon the approaching face of the wave followed by a similar bearing off down the back side
How much to steer in wavesWhen youre sailing upwind waves will
always slow you down so you should avoidthem as much as possible (see below)However when you turn your rudder to steeraround waves the drag you create will alsomake you go slower Therefore you are alwayssearching for the optimal tradeoff betweenusing a lot of rudder and missing waves versususing less rudder and hitting waves
The only true way to judge whether youare doing a good (fast) job of this is by com-paring your performance to that of a nearbyboat Thats why its critical when you havewaves to train with another boat if possible andto tune up with a competitor before every raceWhile you are doing this try different steeringtechniques to see what is fastest in the unique
conditions that you have on any dayThe last thing you
want to do in awavy race is
to be look-ing for
the groove as you come off the starting line Several factors influence the tradeoff of
how aggressively you should steer (ie howquickly and how far you should turn the rud-der) Here are two important considerations
bull Size and shape of the waves - Are thewaves big small rounded or crested Howsteep and close together are they You donthave to steer much in small waves or even bigswells but medium-size waves can present atough challenge especially when theyre steepandor close together
bull Characteristics of your boat - Is yourboat large or small (relative to the waves) lightor heavy Does it turn easily Does it have anarrow bow that cuts easily through the wavesor a fat bow that slams into waves All thesefactors affect the tradeoff of hitting a wave ver-sus turning to miss it
One thing thats true for all boats andwaves is that when you turn the boat its bestto do this with as little rudder as possibleReduce drag by steering with sail trim and bodyweight For example use windward helm toallow the boat to carve its own turn to windwardon the front of the wave Then at the top of thewave hike out hard and ease the mainsheet ortraveler to help bear off down the back side Ifyou can turn the boat without so much dragthen the tradeoff moves in the direction of steer-ing to miss more waves

Often I chat withboaters regarding a
wide range of boat-smarttopics fog being one Thattopic came to the forefrontafter a fog bank shroudedthe waters off Manisteeduring the Salmon Splash333 fishing TournamentThe captains I spoke withemphasized safety and situ-ational awareness whenoperating in fog in otherwords boat smart
Manisteersquos 2009Salmon Splash 333 Best ofthe Best boasted a $10000first-place price Needlessto say fog was not goingto deter anglers from pur-suing the grand prize evenit meant running in fogwhich they did on the sec-ond day of the tournament In all therewere 58 boats in the tournament
With that many boats picking theirway through the fog in close proximitythe chance for collisions seemed immi-nent yet none occurred or at least nonethat were reported Several captains Ispoke with told me they lost fishinglines severed when boats crossed theirstern ldquoBut that comes with the territo-ryrdquo said one captain referring to thefog especially when fishing linesextend well off the stern
What impressed me about theanglers I spoke with and the tourna-ment guidelines is that safety ruledMatthew Salerno and his brother Tonywho won the $10000 prize aboard theirboat Living a Dream told me they trollat about 25 knots with a forward look-out at all times Safety equipment isreadily at hand and the crew is familiarwith its use
Communicating with other tourna-ment boats is prohibited whether it bea cell phone or marine radio unless inthe event of an emergency These
anglers were literally on their own andalone in the fog ldquoWe kept our eyes onthe radar at all timesrdquo said MattSalerno Not all the boats howevercarried radar but still kept safe by fol-lowing a basic navigation rule
Rule 6 of the Navigation Rulesstates ldquoEvery vessel shall at all timesproceed at a safe speed so that she cantake proper and effective action toavoid collision and be stopped within adistance appropriate to the prevailingcircumstances and conditionsrdquo
One of the conditions addressed inthe rules is state of visibilityApparently these anglers some ofwhom were Coast Guard licensed cap-tains understood the rules and so com-plied However not all the boaters onthe lake that day
were part of the tournament norexercising boat smarts one such boaternearly slammed into one of the tourna-ment boats
ldquoWe were fishing a mile off BigPoint Sable in a hundred and thirty feetof water when out of the fog emerged
this 35-foot powerboatheading right at us pullinga dingy off its sternrdquo saidthe captain of the tourna-ment boat Katch-Me ldquoWewaved our arms andhollered as he bore downon usrdquo The captain figuresthe boat was travelingabout 15 knots
One of the crewmanaboard believes the boatoperator was not expect-ing to encounter in fog afleet of boats on LakeMichigan on a Thursdaymorning Thursday morn-ing or Saturday afternoonhas little to do with main-taining a proper lookoutand using all availablemeans to avoid a collisionin fog Also towing a
dinghy behind a boat in fog is not toobright Another boat could run over thetow line and foul its prop(s) or theboater pulling it might snag the towingline while backing down to avoid a col-lision
What I find disturbing about thisincident is that the tournament boaterswere using all means available toassure not only their own safety butthat of their fellow anglers Then alongcomes a boater who seems oblivious tothe safety of others or worse yet wasjust boat stupid
I suspect it is the latter untilboaters are required to boat smart thosethat do must keep a very sharp lookoutfog or not

Waves are like snowflakes No twoare exactly the same and therefore
you have to treat each one as a unique anddifferent entity The same is true in thebig picturemdashevery sequence of wavesyou face during a race will be at least alittle different from anything you haveever seen before So you must continual-ly work at finding the optimal paththrough the waves you face
When you get to the race course it ishelpful to ask a few questions to under-stand the waves and how they will affectyour race
bull Are the waves perpendicular to thewind direction If the waves are flowingin the same direction as the wind thenyou will generally have symmetry fromtack to tack But If not you will need toset things up differently on each tack
bull Are you going faster or slower thanthe waves downwind Figure out if thewaves are helping you (ie theyre goingfaster than you) or hurting you (yourefaster than them) Also do surfing condi-tions exist This is key to knowing if youare allowed to pump your sails Here arefurther explanations of some of theseconcepts

Key wave conceptsby David Dellenbaugh
bull Whats causing the waves The sizeand shape of waves will depend onwhether they are caused by wind currentor boats You could have smooth swellsfrom a storm far away steep chop when astrong breeze blows over shallow wateror when current flows against the windor random chop from motorboats in aspectator fleet
bull Are the waves the normal size thatyou would expect for the wind velocityFor various reasons the waves might belarger or smaller than normal (see below)This could have huge implications forsteering trimming and sailing the boat
Check for wave asymmetry When youre racing upwind are the waves equal on each tack They are usually similar on port andstarboard tacks because waves are created by the wind and therefore they come from that directionHowever this is not always the case Sometimes the waves are not perpendicular to the wind andthis can have a huge impact on the way you sail your boat
There are several reasons why waves may be different from tack to tack bull Windshifts - If the waves are at first aligned with the wind any change in wind direction will
make them unaligned (at least for a while)This is very common bull Presence of nearby land - If there is land to windward of the course it could affect how waves
move across the racing area bull A distant storm -When youre racing on the ocean there are often swells coming from a direc-
tion thats very different from your sailing wind bull Cross-current - If you have a strong current that is not aligned with the wind it often creates
waves that arent square to the wind When you first start sailing in your race area check to see if the waves are the same on each
tack If not make the appropriate sail trim adjustments For example you will have to make your sailsfuller and more twisted on the bumpier tack (which goes more directly into the waves) On the other(smoother) tack you may be able to trim your sails much flatter and tighter You can point higher onthis tack too and keep your weight a little farther forward
There are also strategic implications of wave asymmetry For example if port tack is smootherit might mean the wind has shifted to the right When wave asymmetry is caused by a persistentwindshift its better to sail the smoother tack first since that will take you in the direction where thewind is shifting
Motorboat waves It would be hard to run most sailboat raceswithout motorboats but it sure would be nice ifwe could run them without motorboat wakesUnfortunately waves from motorboats are afact of life in most racing venues and the goodsailors simply figure out how to handle them
Motorboat waves differ from wind gener-ated waves in several important ways They areoften steeper and closer together (and thereforecan potentially hurt your speed much more)Boat waves typically hit you at strange angles(rather than straight with the wind) And fortu-nately they usually come and go pretty quickly
The first rule for maintaining speedthrough waves is to hit them at an angle(instead of head on)This is normally worthdoing even if it requires a significant alteration inthe course you have been sailing In fact it mayeven make sense to tack or jibe so big waveshit your stern rather than your bow
The second rule of thumb for motorboatwaves is to make sure you are going fast justbefore you hit them In other words be proac-tive by bearing off (or heading up on a run)easing (or trimming) your sails moving weightaft etc Dont wait until the first wave hits youbefore making these changes
As I mentioned above you ideally want tohit motorboat waves at an oblique angle andfully powered up But sometimes you cant doboth When the waves are coming at you paral-lel to the wind you have to make a choice Itsusually better to hit waves at an angle even ifyou have to pinch up and lose a little speedThis seems better than bearing off for speedand hitting the waves head on
Waves relative to windIn any wind velocity there is a certain size andshape of waves that you normally see with thatamount of wind In a five-knot breeze forexample the water surface should be almosttotally flat In 18 knots of wind however youexpect to see fairly good-sized waves withwhitecaps
But as every sailor knows you dontalways get normal sea conditions You mightsee bigger or smaller waves than whats typicalfor that wind velocity and this will affect howyou set up and sail your boat
When Im racing I categorize the wavestate in three general ways
1) Normal waves for the wind 2) Morewind than waves and 3) More waves thanwind Heres a closer look at each
More wind than waves This is almost always a fun condition for sailing(unless youre trying to do a windy jibe) Itsgreat (or painting and speed and makes stay-ing in the groove pretty easy
Here are several times when you are like-ly to see this condition
bull A building breezemdashthe breeze is up butthe waves havent had time to build yet
bull An offshore breezemdashthe water is flatteras you get closer to land because there is lessfetch for the waves to build
bull Current flowing with the wind When you have more wind than waves
you can trim your sails flatter and harder thanyou normally would in that breeze You shouldsail most boats as flat as possible and go formaximum height (pointing)
More waves than wind This is almost always a tough condition for sail-ing (unless you are sailing downwind withenough breeze to surf) It makes finding thegroove difficult and it quickly separates thegood sailors from the rest
You will typically see this condition withbull A dying breezemdashthe breeze always
changes faster than the wave state bull An onshore breezemdashwhen the wind is
blowing toward the shore it usually has a longfetch for the waves to build
bull Current flowing against the wind bull Lots of motorboat wakes (the worst) When you have more waves than wind be
careful about trimming too hard or pointing toohigh Err on the side of twist power and footingso you keep going fast

Watch for leeway caused by waves Waves make sailboats go up and down and they also push boats to leeward
The difference between the course you steer and the course you make goodthrough the water is your leeway angle The size of this angle is a result of
many factors such as heel angle wind velocity boat design and waveheight Though leeway for racing boats is usually not more than a few
degrees it will get slightly larger as the waves get bigger The main place where you will notice leeway is in relationto fixed objects like marks Your laylines are wider for
example in waves so you must allow a little extra distance before tacking
One place where its easyto see how much the waves pushyou to leeward is at the starting lineWhen boats attempt to luff in place on the line
they often slide much farther to leeward thanthey think Thats one reason why there
is often a significant line sag when thewaves are big
Go fast upwindin waves
Except for those few times when youare able to ride a motorboat wake
coming from behind waves are neverhelpful when youre racing upwind Itsalways faster to sail in flatter water andthat should be your first rule of thumbon beats
Sailing fast in waves requires ateam effort that involves the drivertrimmers and the rest of the crew Youhave to look ahead for waves that arecoming shift gears and find the bestway to steer through them
There are three basic strategies fordealing with waves upwind You cansail directly through the waves steerover the waves or try to avoid thewaves More likely you will do somecombination of the above
Going straight through waves isusually the best option when the wavesare everywhere and too small to steeraround The bigger and heavier yourboat the more likely you are to takethis approach since its often impossibleor slow to turn your rudder for individ-ual waves
This is not a great option for biggerwaves but sometimes it is your onlychoice (eg when all the waves are bigand steep) In that case try to keep the
boat going a little faster than usual upthe beat The most costly mistake is tobe too slow when you hit a bad wave
Anticipation is important The keyto maintaining speed through badwaves is to shift gears before you get tothem That means you need enoughwarning to power up your sail planbefore the bow digs into the first wave
Steering over the waves is a goodidea when they are larger and spacedfarther apart and when going straightthrough them is slow The smaller andlighter your boat the more effectivethis is
The basic technique for sailingover waves is to head up on the frontside and bear off the back side In other
30 Visit Northern Breezes Online wwwsailingbreezescom - JuneJuly 2010
words luff toward the wind a little asyou go up the wave and then bear offaway from the wind as you go down theback side The steeper the wave and thefaster your speed over the waves themore sharply you will have to turn yourhelm and your boat
In boats that are light enough to beaffected by the positioning of crewweight combine the steering with arotational movement of your bodiesLean aft (and maybe in a little) as yougo up the wave Then lean out and for-ward as you go over the top and downthe back side
Avoiding waves is always the pre-ferred option This works well whenyou have identifiable areas of badwaves such as boat wakes or sets ofespecially large steep waves Sinceyou can never avoid all waves youmust use this in concert with otherways to sail through waves but thisstrategy should always be a part of yourupwind plan
The techniques that work best inwaves are often subtle enough that younever know how well they are workinguntil you measure your performanceagainst nearby boats So test your wavestrategy before the start and continue toevaluate it during the race If youre notfast change something and try again
Put your weight in the right places One of the reasons why waves make a boat gomore slowly is because they cause it to hobby-horse which disrupts the air flow around itssails and the water flow around its foils This isespecially harmful in lighter air
The main goal of positioning your weightin waves therefore should be to reduce hobby-horsing Keep your crew together as much aspossible and near the middle of the boat In lightair the ideal spot is right at the top of the keelsince that is the point around which the sailplan hull and foils pivot When conditions arebumpy and light its not unusual for crews to sitdown below on the cabin sole (in bigger boats)or to crouch down inside the cockpit (one-designs)This reduces the range of motion ofthe mast and keelcenterboard
In heavy air the crew cant be inside theboat of course Instead they should sit tightlytogether like the crew on the boat above Thefore-and-aft position of their weight depends onthe boat wind strength and wave shapeGenerally the crew should be at least slightlyfarther aft when its rough (than when its flatwith the same wind velocity) to keep the bowfrom plowing into waves
If youre racing upwind in waves and youthink your weight is positioned perfectly but youarent going fast try moving your crew a littlefarther apart Sometimes the boat doesnt clickwith the natural frequency of the wavesmdashbutdifferent crew spacing may improve this har-mony (and therefore your speed)
These waves are unusually large uniform and rounded on top so its not necessary tosteer around them very much The ideal course would be a gradual slight arc to windwardon the approaching face of the wave followed by a similar bearing off down the back side
How much to steer in wavesWhen youre sailing upwind waves will
always slow you down so you should avoidthem as much as possible (see below)However when you turn your rudder to steeraround waves the drag you create will alsomake you go slower Therefore you are alwayssearching for the optimal tradeoff betweenusing a lot of rudder and missing waves versususing less rudder and hitting waves
The only true way to judge whether youare doing a good (fast) job of this is by com-paring your performance to that of a nearbyboat Thats why its critical when you havewaves to train with another boat if possible andto tune up with a competitor before every raceWhile you are doing this try different steeringtechniques to see what is fastest in the unique
conditions that you have on any dayThe last thing you
want to do in awavy race is
to be look-ing for
the groove as you come off the starting line Several factors influence the tradeoff of
how aggressively you should steer (ie howquickly and how far you should turn the rud-der) Here are two important considerations
bull Size and shape of the waves - Are thewaves big small rounded or crested Howsteep and close together are they You donthave to steer much in small waves or even bigswells but medium-size waves can present atough challenge especially when theyre steepandor close together
bull Characteristics of your boat - Is yourboat large or small (relative to the waves) lightor heavy Does it turn easily Does it have anarrow bow that cuts easily through the wavesor a fat bow that slams into waves All thesefactors affect the tradeoff of hitting a wave ver-sus turning to miss it
One thing thats true for all boats andwaves is that when you turn the boat its bestto do this with as little rudder as possibleReduce drag by steering with sail trim and bodyweight For example use windward helm toallow the boat to carve its own turn to windwardon the front of the wave Then at the top of thewave hike out hard and ease the mainsheet ortraveler to help bear off down the back side Ifyou can turn the boat without so much dragthen the tradeoff moves in the direction of steer-ing to miss more waves

Often I chat withboaters regarding a
wide range of boat-smarttopics fog being one Thattopic came to the forefrontafter a fog bank shroudedthe waters off Manisteeduring the Salmon Splash333 fishing TournamentThe captains I spoke withemphasized safety and situ-ational awareness whenoperating in fog in otherwords boat smart
Manisteersquos 2009Salmon Splash 333 Best ofthe Best boasted a $10000first-place price Needlessto say fog was not goingto deter anglers from pur-suing the grand prize evenit meant running in fogwhich they did on the sec-ond day of the tournament In all therewere 58 boats in the tournament
With that many boats picking theirway through the fog in close proximitythe chance for collisions seemed immi-nent yet none occurred or at least nonethat were reported Several captains Ispoke with told me they lost fishinglines severed when boats crossed theirstern ldquoBut that comes with the territo-ryrdquo said one captain referring to thefog especially when fishing linesextend well off the stern
What impressed me about theanglers I spoke with and the tourna-ment guidelines is that safety ruledMatthew Salerno and his brother Tonywho won the $10000 prize aboard theirboat Living a Dream told me they trollat about 25 knots with a forward look-out at all times Safety equipment isreadily at hand and the crew is familiarwith its use
Communicating with other tourna-ment boats is prohibited whether it bea cell phone or marine radio unless inthe event of an emergency These
anglers were literally on their own andalone in the fog ldquoWe kept our eyes onthe radar at all timesrdquo said MattSalerno Not all the boats howevercarried radar but still kept safe by fol-lowing a basic navigation rule
Rule 6 of the Navigation Rulesstates ldquoEvery vessel shall at all timesproceed at a safe speed so that she cantake proper and effective action toavoid collision and be stopped within adistance appropriate to the prevailingcircumstances and conditionsrdquo
One of the conditions addressed inthe rules is state of visibilityApparently these anglers some ofwhom were Coast Guard licensed cap-tains understood the rules and so com-plied However not all the boaters onthe lake that day
were part of the tournament norexercising boat smarts one such boaternearly slammed into one of the tourna-ment boats
ldquoWe were fishing a mile off BigPoint Sable in a hundred and thirty feetof water when out of the fog emerged
this 35-foot powerboatheading right at us pullinga dingy off its sternrdquo saidthe captain of the tourna-ment boat Katch-Me ldquoWewaved our arms andhollered as he bore downon usrdquo The captain figuresthe boat was travelingabout 15 knots
One of the crewmanaboard believes the boatoperator was not expect-ing to encounter in fog afleet of boats on LakeMichigan on a Thursdaymorning Thursday morn-ing or Saturday afternoonhas little to do with main-taining a proper lookoutand using all availablemeans to avoid a collisionin fog Also towing a
dinghy behind a boat in fog is not toobright Another boat could run over thetow line and foul its prop(s) or theboater pulling it might snag the towingline while backing down to avoid a col-lision
What I find disturbing about thisincident is that the tournament boaterswere using all means available toassure not only their own safety butthat of their fellow anglers Then alongcomes a boater who seems oblivious tothe safety of others or worse yet wasjust boat stupid
I suspect it is the latter untilboaters are required to boat smart thosethat do must keep a very sharp lookoutfog or not

Waves are like snowflakes No twoare exactly the same and therefore
you have to treat each one as a unique anddifferent entity The same is true in thebig picturemdashevery sequence of wavesyou face during a race will be at least alittle different from anything you haveever seen before So you must continual-ly work at finding the optimal paththrough the waves you face
When you get to the race course it ishelpful to ask a few questions to under-stand the waves and how they will affectyour race
bull Are the waves perpendicular to thewind direction If the waves are flowingin the same direction as the wind thenyou will generally have symmetry fromtack to tack But If not you will need toset things up differently on each tack
bull Are you going faster or slower thanthe waves downwind Figure out if thewaves are helping you (ie theyre goingfaster than you) or hurting you (yourefaster than them) Also do surfing condi-tions exist This is key to knowing if youare allowed to pump your sails Here arefurther explanations of some of theseconcepts

Key wave conceptsby David Dellenbaugh
bull Whats causing the waves The sizeand shape of waves will depend onwhether they are caused by wind currentor boats You could have smooth swellsfrom a storm far away steep chop when astrong breeze blows over shallow wateror when current flows against the windor random chop from motorboats in aspectator fleet
bull Are the waves the normal size thatyou would expect for the wind velocityFor various reasons the waves might belarger or smaller than normal (see below)This could have huge implications forsteering trimming and sailing the boat
Check for wave asymmetry When youre racing upwind are the waves equal on each tack They are usually similar on port andstarboard tacks because waves are created by the wind and therefore they come from that directionHowever this is not always the case Sometimes the waves are not perpendicular to the wind andthis can have a huge impact on the way you sail your boat
There are several reasons why waves may be different from tack to tack bull Windshifts - If the waves are at first aligned with the wind any change in wind direction will
make them unaligned (at least for a while)This is very common bull Presence of nearby land - If there is land to windward of the course it could affect how waves
move across the racing area bull A distant storm -When youre racing on the ocean there are often swells coming from a direc-
tion thats very different from your sailing wind bull Cross-current - If you have a strong current that is not aligned with the wind it often creates
waves that arent square to the wind When you first start sailing in your race area check to see if the waves are the same on each
tack If not make the appropriate sail trim adjustments For example you will have to make your sailsfuller and more twisted on the bumpier tack (which goes more directly into the waves) On the other(smoother) tack you may be able to trim your sails much flatter and tighter You can point higher onthis tack too and keep your weight a little farther forward
There are also strategic implications of wave asymmetry For example if port tack is smootherit might mean the wind has shifted to the right When wave asymmetry is caused by a persistentwindshift its better to sail the smoother tack first since that will take you in the direction where thewind is shifting
Motorboat waves It would be hard to run most sailboat raceswithout motorboats but it sure would be nice ifwe could run them without motorboat wakesUnfortunately waves from motorboats are afact of life in most racing venues and the goodsailors simply figure out how to handle them
Motorboat waves differ from wind gener-ated waves in several important ways They areoften steeper and closer together (and thereforecan potentially hurt your speed much more)Boat waves typically hit you at strange angles(rather than straight with the wind) And fortu-nately they usually come and go pretty quickly
The first rule for maintaining speedthrough waves is to hit them at an angle(instead of head on)This is normally worthdoing even if it requires a significant alteration inthe course you have been sailing In fact it mayeven make sense to tack or jibe so big waveshit your stern rather than your bow
The second rule of thumb for motorboatwaves is to make sure you are going fast justbefore you hit them In other words be proac-tive by bearing off (or heading up on a run)easing (or trimming) your sails moving weightaft etc Dont wait until the first wave hits youbefore making these changes
As I mentioned above you ideally want tohit motorboat waves at an oblique angle andfully powered up But sometimes you cant doboth When the waves are coming at you paral-lel to the wind you have to make a choice Itsusually better to hit waves at an angle even ifyou have to pinch up and lose a little speedThis seems better than bearing off for speedand hitting the waves head on
Waves relative to windIn any wind velocity there is a certain size andshape of waves that you normally see with thatamount of wind In a five-knot breeze forexample the water surface should be almosttotally flat In 18 knots of wind however youexpect to see fairly good-sized waves withwhitecaps
But as every sailor knows you dontalways get normal sea conditions You mightsee bigger or smaller waves than whats typicalfor that wind velocity and this will affect howyou set up and sail your boat
When Im racing I categorize the wavestate in three general ways
1) Normal waves for the wind 2) Morewind than waves and 3) More waves thanwind Heres a closer look at each
More wind than waves This is almost always a fun condition for sailing(unless youre trying to do a windy jibe) Itsgreat (or painting and speed and makes stay-ing in the groove pretty easy
Here are several times when you are like-ly to see this condition
bull A building breezemdashthe breeze is up butthe waves havent had time to build yet
bull An offshore breezemdashthe water is flatteras you get closer to land because there is lessfetch for the waves to build
bull Current flowing with the wind When you have more wind than waves
you can trim your sails flatter and harder thanyou normally would in that breeze You shouldsail most boats as flat as possible and go formaximum height (pointing)
More waves than wind This is almost always a tough condition for sail-ing (unless you are sailing downwind withenough breeze to surf) It makes finding thegroove difficult and it quickly separates thegood sailors from the rest
You will typically see this condition withbull A dying breezemdashthe breeze always
changes faster than the wave state bull An onshore breezemdashwhen the wind is
blowing toward the shore it usually has a longfetch for the waves to build
bull Current flowing against the wind bull Lots of motorboat wakes (the worst) When you have more waves than wind be
careful about trimming too hard or pointing toohigh Err on the side of twist power and footingso you keep going fast

Watch for leeway caused by waves Waves make sailboats go up and down and they also push boats to leeward
The difference between the course you steer and the course you make goodthrough the water is your leeway angle The size of this angle is a result of
many factors such as heel angle wind velocity boat design and waveheight Though leeway for racing boats is usually not more than a few
degrees it will get slightly larger as the waves get bigger The main place where you will notice leeway is in relationto fixed objects like marks Your laylines are wider for
example in waves so you must allow a little extra distance before tacking
One place where its easyto see how much the waves pushyou to leeward is at the starting lineWhen boats attempt to luff in place on the line
they often slide much farther to leeward thanthey think Thats one reason why there
is often a significant line sag when thewaves are big
Go fast upwindin waves
Except for those few times when youare able to ride a motorboat wake
coming from behind waves are neverhelpful when youre racing upwind Itsalways faster to sail in flatter water andthat should be your first rule of thumbon beats
Sailing fast in waves requires ateam effort that involves the drivertrimmers and the rest of the crew Youhave to look ahead for waves that arecoming shift gears and find the bestway to steer through them
There are three basic strategies fordealing with waves upwind You cansail directly through the waves steerover the waves or try to avoid thewaves More likely you will do somecombination of the above
Going straight through waves isusually the best option when the wavesare everywhere and too small to steeraround The bigger and heavier yourboat the more likely you are to takethis approach since its often impossibleor slow to turn your rudder for individ-ual waves
This is not a great option for biggerwaves but sometimes it is your onlychoice (eg when all the waves are bigand steep) In that case try to keep the
boat going a little faster than usual upthe beat The most costly mistake is tobe too slow when you hit a bad wave
Anticipation is important The keyto maintaining speed through badwaves is to shift gears before you get tothem That means you need enoughwarning to power up your sail planbefore the bow digs into the first wave
Steering over the waves is a goodidea when they are larger and spacedfarther apart and when going straightthrough them is slow The smaller andlighter your boat the more effectivethis is
The basic technique for sailingover waves is to head up on the frontside and bear off the back side In other
30 Visit Northern Breezes Online wwwsailingbreezescom - JuneJuly 2010
words luff toward the wind a little asyou go up the wave and then bear offaway from the wind as you go down theback side The steeper the wave and thefaster your speed over the waves themore sharply you will have to turn yourhelm and your boat
In boats that are light enough to beaffected by the positioning of crewweight combine the steering with arotational movement of your bodiesLean aft (and maybe in a little) as yougo up the wave Then lean out and for-ward as you go over the top and downthe back side
Avoiding waves is always the pre-ferred option This works well whenyou have identifiable areas of badwaves such as boat wakes or sets ofespecially large steep waves Sinceyou can never avoid all waves youmust use this in concert with otherways to sail through waves but thisstrategy should always be a part of yourupwind plan
The techniques that work best inwaves are often subtle enough that younever know how well they are workinguntil you measure your performanceagainst nearby boats So test your wavestrategy before the start and continue toevaluate it during the race If youre notfast change something and try again
Put your weight in the right places One of the reasons why waves make a boat gomore slowly is because they cause it to hobby-horse which disrupts the air flow around itssails and the water flow around its foils This isespecially harmful in lighter air
The main goal of positioning your weightin waves therefore should be to reduce hobby-horsing Keep your crew together as much aspossible and near the middle of the boat In lightair the ideal spot is right at the top of the keelsince that is the point around which the sailplan hull and foils pivot When conditions arebumpy and light its not unusual for crews to sitdown below on the cabin sole (in bigger boats)or to crouch down inside the cockpit (one-designs)This reduces the range of motion ofthe mast and keelcenterboard
In heavy air the crew cant be inside theboat of course Instead they should sit tightlytogether like the crew on the boat above Thefore-and-aft position of their weight depends onthe boat wind strength and wave shapeGenerally the crew should be at least slightlyfarther aft when its rough (than when its flatwith the same wind velocity) to keep the bowfrom plowing into waves
If youre racing upwind in waves and youthink your weight is positioned perfectly but youarent going fast try moving your crew a littlefarther apart Sometimes the boat doesnt clickwith the natural frequency of the wavesmdashbutdifferent crew spacing may improve this har-mony (and therefore your speed)
These waves are unusually large uniform and rounded on top so its not necessary tosteer around them very much The ideal course would be a gradual slight arc to windwardon the approaching face of the wave followed by a similar bearing off down the back side
How much to steer in wavesWhen youre sailing upwind waves will
always slow you down so you should avoidthem as much as possible (see below)However when you turn your rudder to steeraround waves the drag you create will alsomake you go slower Therefore you are alwayssearching for the optimal tradeoff betweenusing a lot of rudder and missing waves versususing less rudder and hitting waves
The only true way to judge whether youare doing a good (fast) job of this is by com-paring your performance to that of a nearbyboat Thats why its critical when you havewaves to train with another boat if possible andto tune up with a competitor before every raceWhile you are doing this try different steeringtechniques to see what is fastest in the unique
conditions that you have on any dayThe last thing you
want to do in awavy race is
to be look-ing for
the groove as you come off the starting line Several factors influence the tradeoff of
how aggressively you should steer (ie howquickly and how far you should turn the rud-der) Here are two important considerations
bull Size and shape of the waves - Are thewaves big small rounded or crested Howsteep and close together are they You donthave to steer much in small waves or even bigswells but medium-size waves can present atough challenge especially when theyre steepandor close together
bull Characteristics of your boat - Is yourboat large or small (relative to the waves) lightor heavy Does it turn easily Does it have anarrow bow that cuts easily through the wavesor a fat bow that slams into waves All thesefactors affect the tradeoff of hitting a wave ver-sus turning to miss it
One thing thats true for all boats andwaves is that when you turn the boat its bestto do this with as little rudder as possibleReduce drag by steering with sail trim and bodyweight For example use windward helm toallow the boat to carve its own turn to windwardon the front of the wave Then at the top of thewave hike out hard and ease the mainsheet ortraveler to help bear off down the back side Ifyou can turn the boat without so much dragthen the tradeoff moves in the direction of steer-ing to miss more waves

Often I chat withboaters regarding a
wide range of boat-smarttopics fog being one Thattopic came to the forefrontafter a fog bank shroudedthe waters off Manisteeduring the Salmon Splash333 fishing TournamentThe captains I spoke withemphasized safety and situ-ational awareness whenoperating in fog in otherwords boat smart
Manisteersquos 2009Salmon Splash 333 Best ofthe Best boasted a $10000first-place price Needlessto say fog was not goingto deter anglers from pur-suing the grand prize evenit meant running in fogwhich they did on the sec-ond day of the tournament In all therewere 58 boats in the tournament
With that many boats picking theirway through the fog in close proximitythe chance for collisions seemed immi-nent yet none occurred or at least nonethat were reported Several captains Ispoke with told me they lost fishinglines severed when boats crossed theirstern ldquoBut that comes with the territo-ryrdquo said one captain referring to thefog especially when fishing linesextend well off the stern
What impressed me about theanglers I spoke with and the tourna-ment guidelines is that safety ruledMatthew Salerno and his brother Tonywho won the $10000 prize aboard theirboat Living a Dream told me they trollat about 25 knots with a forward look-out at all times Safety equipment isreadily at hand and the crew is familiarwith its use
Communicating with other tourna-ment boats is prohibited whether it bea cell phone or marine radio unless inthe event of an emergency These
anglers were literally on their own andalone in the fog ldquoWe kept our eyes onthe radar at all timesrdquo said MattSalerno Not all the boats howevercarried radar but still kept safe by fol-lowing a basic navigation rule
Rule 6 of the Navigation Rulesstates ldquoEvery vessel shall at all timesproceed at a safe speed so that she cantake proper and effective action toavoid collision and be stopped within adistance appropriate to the prevailingcircumstances and conditionsrdquo
One of the conditions addressed inthe rules is state of visibilityApparently these anglers some ofwhom were Coast Guard licensed cap-tains understood the rules and so com-plied However not all the boaters onthe lake that day
were part of the tournament norexercising boat smarts one such boaternearly slammed into one of the tourna-ment boats
ldquoWe were fishing a mile off BigPoint Sable in a hundred and thirty feetof water when out of the fog emerged
this 35-foot powerboatheading right at us pullinga dingy off its sternrdquo saidthe captain of the tourna-ment boat Katch-Me ldquoWewaved our arms andhollered as he bore downon usrdquo The captain figuresthe boat was travelingabout 15 knots
One of the crewmanaboard believes the boatoperator was not expect-ing to encounter in fog afleet of boats on LakeMichigan on a Thursdaymorning Thursday morn-ing or Saturday afternoonhas little to do with main-taining a proper lookoutand using all availablemeans to avoid a collisionin fog Also towing a
dinghy behind a boat in fog is not toobright Another boat could run over thetow line and foul its prop(s) or theboater pulling it might snag the towingline while backing down to avoid a col-lision
What I find disturbing about thisincident is that the tournament boaterswere using all means available toassure not only their own safety butthat of their fellow anglers Then alongcomes a boater who seems oblivious tothe safety of others or worse yet wasjust boat stupid
I suspect it is the latter untilboaters are required to boat smart thosethat do must keep a very sharp lookoutfog or not

Waves are like snowflakes No twoare exactly the same and therefore
you have to treat each one as a unique anddifferent entity The same is true in thebig picturemdashevery sequence of wavesyou face during a race will be at least alittle different from anything you haveever seen before So you must continual-ly work at finding the optimal paththrough the waves you face
When you get to the race course it ishelpful to ask a few questions to under-stand the waves and how they will affectyour race
bull Are the waves perpendicular to thewind direction If the waves are flowingin the same direction as the wind thenyou will generally have symmetry fromtack to tack But If not you will need toset things up differently on each tack
bull Are you going faster or slower thanthe waves downwind Figure out if thewaves are helping you (ie theyre goingfaster than you) or hurting you (yourefaster than them) Also do surfing condi-tions exist This is key to knowing if youare allowed to pump your sails Here arefurther explanations of some of theseconcepts

Key wave conceptsby David Dellenbaugh
bull Whats causing the waves The sizeand shape of waves will depend onwhether they are caused by wind currentor boats You could have smooth swellsfrom a storm far away steep chop when astrong breeze blows over shallow wateror when current flows against the windor random chop from motorboats in aspectator fleet
bull Are the waves the normal size thatyou would expect for the wind velocityFor various reasons the waves might belarger or smaller than normal (see below)This could have huge implications forsteering trimming and sailing the boat
Check for wave asymmetry When youre racing upwind are the waves equal on each tack They are usually similar on port andstarboard tacks because waves are created by the wind and therefore they come from that directionHowever this is not always the case Sometimes the waves are not perpendicular to the wind andthis can have a huge impact on the way you sail your boat
There are several reasons why waves may be different from tack to tack bull Windshifts - If the waves are at first aligned with the wind any change in wind direction will
make them unaligned (at least for a while)This is very common bull Presence of nearby land - If there is land to windward of the course it could affect how waves
move across the racing area bull A distant storm -When youre racing on the ocean there are often swells coming from a direc-
tion thats very different from your sailing wind bull Cross-current - If you have a strong current that is not aligned with the wind it often creates
waves that arent square to the wind When you first start sailing in your race area check to see if the waves are the same on each
tack If not make the appropriate sail trim adjustments For example you will have to make your sailsfuller and more twisted on the bumpier tack (which goes more directly into the waves) On the other(smoother) tack you may be able to trim your sails much flatter and tighter You can point higher onthis tack too and keep your weight a little farther forward
There are also strategic implications of wave asymmetry For example if port tack is smootherit might mean the wind has shifted to the right When wave asymmetry is caused by a persistentwindshift its better to sail the smoother tack first since that will take you in the direction where thewind is shifting
Motorboat waves It would be hard to run most sailboat raceswithout motorboats but it sure would be nice ifwe could run them without motorboat wakesUnfortunately waves from motorboats are afact of life in most racing venues and the goodsailors simply figure out how to handle them
Motorboat waves differ from wind gener-ated waves in several important ways They areoften steeper and closer together (and thereforecan potentially hurt your speed much more)Boat waves typically hit you at strange angles(rather than straight with the wind) And fortu-nately they usually come and go pretty quickly
The first rule for maintaining speedthrough waves is to hit them at an angle(instead of head on)This is normally worthdoing even if it requires a significant alteration inthe course you have been sailing In fact it mayeven make sense to tack or jibe so big waveshit your stern rather than your bow
The second rule of thumb for motorboatwaves is to make sure you are going fast justbefore you hit them In other words be proac-tive by bearing off (or heading up on a run)easing (or trimming) your sails moving weightaft etc Dont wait until the first wave hits youbefore making these changes
As I mentioned above you ideally want tohit motorboat waves at an oblique angle andfully powered up But sometimes you cant doboth When the waves are coming at you paral-lel to the wind you have to make a choice Itsusually better to hit waves at an angle even ifyou have to pinch up and lose a little speedThis seems better than bearing off for speedand hitting the waves head on
Waves relative to windIn any wind velocity there is a certain size andshape of waves that you normally see with thatamount of wind In a five-knot breeze forexample the water surface should be almosttotally flat In 18 knots of wind however youexpect to see fairly good-sized waves withwhitecaps
But as every sailor knows you dontalways get normal sea conditions You mightsee bigger or smaller waves than whats typicalfor that wind velocity and this will affect howyou set up and sail your boat
When Im racing I categorize the wavestate in three general ways
1) Normal waves for the wind 2) Morewind than waves and 3) More waves thanwind Heres a closer look at each
More wind than waves This is almost always a fun condition for sailing(unless youre trying to do a windy jibe) Itsgreat (or painting and speed and makes stay-ing in the groove pretty easy
Here are several times when you are like-ly to see this condition
bull A building breezemdashthe breeze is up butthe waves havent had time to build yet
bull An offshore breezemdashthe water is flatteras you get closer to land because there is lessfetch for the waves to build
bull Current flowing with the wind When you have more wind than waves
you can trim your sails flatter and harder thanyou normally would in that breeze You shouldsail most boats as flat as possible and go formaximum height (pointing)
More waves than wind This is almost always a tough condition for sail-ing (unless you are sailing downwind withenough breeze to surf) It makes finding thegroove difficult and it quickly separates thegood sailors from the rest
You will typically see this condition withbull A dying breezemdashthe breeze always
changes faster than the wave state bull An onshore breezemdashwhen the wind is
blowing toward the shore it usually has a longfetch for the waves to build
bull Current flowing against the wind bull Lots of motorboat wakes (the worst) When you have more waves than wind be
careful about trimming too hard or pointing toohigh Err on the side of twist power and footingso you keep going fast

Watch for leeway caused by waves Waves make sailboats go up and down and they also push boats to leeward
The difference between the course you steer and the course you make goodthrough the water is your leeway angle The size of this angle is a result of
many factors such as heel angle wind velocity boat design and waveheight Though leeway for racing boats is usually not more than a few
degrees it will get slightly larger as the waves get bigger The main place where you will notice leeway is in relationto fixed objects like marks Your laylines are wider for
example in waves so you must allow a little extra distance before tacking
One place where its easyto see how much the waves pushyou to leeward is at the starting lineWhen boats attempt to luff in place on the line
they often slide much farther to leeward thanthey think Thats one reason why there
is often a significant line sag when thewaves are big
Go fast upwindin waves
Except for those few times when youare able to ride a motorboat wake
coming from behind waves are neverhelpful when youre racing upwind Itsalways faster to sail in flatter water andthat should be your first rule of thumbon beats
Sailing fast in waves requires ateam effort that involves the drivertrimmers and the rest of the crew Youhave to look ahead for waves that arecoming shift gears and find the bestway to steer through them
There are three basic strategies fordealing with waves upwind You cansail directly through the waves steerover the waves or try to avoid thewaves More likely you will do somecombination of the above
Going straight through waves isusually the best option when the wavesare everywhere and too small to steeraround The bigger and heavier yourboat the more likely you are to takethis approach since its often impossibleor slow to turn your rudder for individ-ual waves
This is not a great option for biggerwaves but sometimes it is your onlychoice (eg when all the waves are bigand steep) In that case try to keep the
boat going a little faster than usual upthe beat The most costly mistake is tobe too slow when you hit a bad wave
Anticipation is important The keyto maintaining speed through badwaves is to shift gears before you get tothem That means you need enoughwarning to power up your sail planbefore the bow digs into the first wave
Steering over the waves is a goodidea when they are larger and spacedfarther apart and when going straightthrough them is slow The smaller andlighter your boat the more effectivethis is
The basic technique for sailingover waves is to head up on the frontside and bear off the back side In other
30 Visit Northern Breezes Online wwwsailingbreezescom - JuneJuly 2010
words luff toward the wind a little asyou go up the wave and then bear offaway from the wind as you go down theback side The steeper the wave and thefaster your speed over the waves themore sharply you will have to turn yourhelm and your boat
In boats that are light enough to beaffected by the positioning of crewweight combine the steering with arotational movement of your bodiesLean aft (and maybe in a little) as yougo up the wave Then lean out and for-ward as you go over the top and downthe back side
Avoiding waves is always the pre-ferred option This works well whenyou have identifiable areas of badwaves such as boat wakes or sets ofespecially large steep waves Sinceyou can never avoid all waves youmust use this in concert with otherways to sail through waves but thisstrategy should always be a part of yourupwind plan
The techniques that work best inwaves are often subtle enough that younever know how well they are workinguntil you measure your performanceagainst nearby boats So test your wavestrategy before the start and continue toevaluate it during the race If youre notfast change something and try again
Put your weight in the right places One of the reasons why waves make a boat gomore slowly is because they cause it to hobby-horse which disrupts the air flow around itssails and the water flow around its foils This isespecially harmful in lighter air
The main goal of positioning your weightin waves therefore should be to reduce hobby-horsing Keep your crew together as much aspossible and near the middle of the boat In lightair the ideal spot is right at the top of the keelsince that is the point around which the sailplan hull and foils pivot When conditions arebumpy and light its not unusual for crews to sitdown below on the cabin sole (in bigger boats)or to crouch down inside the cockpit (one-designs)This reduces the range of motion ofthe mast and keelcenterboard
In heavy air the crew cant be inside theboat of course Instead they should sit tightlytogether like the crew on the boat above Thefore-and-aft position of their weight depends onthe boat wind strength and wave shapeGenerally the crew should be at least slightlyfarther aft when its rough (than when its flatwith the same wind velocity) to keep the bowfrom plowing into waves
If youre racing upwind in waves and youthink your weight is positioned perfectly but youarent going fast try moving your crew a littlefarther apart Sometimes the boat doesnt clickwith the natural frequency of the wavesmdashbutdifferent crew spacing may improve this har-mony (and therefore your speed)
These waves are unusually large uniform and rounded on top so its not necessary tosteer around them very much The ideal course would be a gradual slight arc to windwardon the approaching face of the wave followed by a similar bearing off down the back side
How much to steer in wavesWhen youre sailing upwind waves will
always slow you down so you should avoidthem as much as possible (see below)However when you turn your rudder to steeraround waves the drag you create will alsomake you go slower Therefore you are alwayssearching for the optimal tradeoff betweenusing a lot of rudder and missing waves versususing less rudder and hitting waves
The only true way to judge whether youare doing a good (fast) job of this is by com-paring your performance to that of a nearbyboat Thats why its critical when you havewaves to train with another boat if possible andto tune up with a competitor before every raceWhile you are doing this try different steeringtechniques to see what is fastest in the unique
conditions that you have on any dayThe last thing you
want to do in awavy race is
to be look-ing for
the groove as you come off the starting line Several factors influence the tradeoff of
how aggressively you should steer (ie howquickly and how far you should turn the rud-der) Here are two important considerations
bull Size and shape of the waves - Are thewaves big small rounded or crested Howsteep and close together are they You donthave to steer much in small waves or even bigswells but medium-size waves can present atough challenge especially when theyre steepandor close together
bull Characteristics of your boat - Is yourboat large or small (relative to the waves) lightor heavy Does it turn easily Does it have anarrow bow that cuts easily through the wavesor a fat bow that slams into waves All thesefactors affect the tradeoff of hitting a wave ver-sus turning to miss it
One thing thats true for all boats andwaves is that when you turn the boat its bestto do this with as little rudder as possibleReduce drag by steering with sail trim and bodyweight For example use windward helm toallow the boat to carve its own turn to windwardon the front of the wave Then at the top of thewave hike out hard and ease the mainsheet ortraveler to help bear off down the back side Ifyou can turn the boat without so much dragthen the tradeoff moves in the direction of steer-ing to miss more waves

Often I chat withboaters regarding a
wide range of boat-smarttopics fog being one Thattopic came to the forefrontafter a fog bank shroudedthe waters off Manisteeduring the Salmon Splash333 fishing TournamentThe captains I spoke withemphasized safety and situ-ational awareness whenoperating in fog in otherwords boat smart
Manisteersquos 2009Salmon Splash 333 Best ofthe Best boasted a $10000first-place price Needlessto say fog was not goingto deter anglers from pur-suing the grand prize evenit meant running in fogwhich they did on the sec-ond day of the tournament In all therewere 58 boats in the tournament
With that many boats picking theirway through the fog in close proximitythe chance for collisions seemed immi-nent yet none occurred or at least nonethat were reported Several captains Ispoke with told me they lost fishinglines severed when boats crossed theirstern ldquoBut that comes with the territo-ryrdquo said one captain referring to thefog especially when fishing linesextend well off the stern
What impressed me about theanglers I spoke with and the tourna-ment guidelines is that safety ruledMatthew Salerno and his brother Tonywho won the $10000 prize aboard theirboat Living a Dream told me they trollat about 25 knots with a forward look-out at all times Safety equipment isreadily at hand and the crew is familiarwith its use
Communicating with other tourna-ment boats is prohibited whether it bea cell phone or marine radio unless inthe event of an emergency These
anglers were literally on their own andalone in the fog ldquoWe kept our eyes onthe radar at all timesrdquo said MattSalerno Not all the boats howevercarried radar but still kept safe by fol-lowing a basic navigation rule
Rule 6 of the Navigation Rulesstates ldquoEvery vessel shall at all timesproceed at a safe speed so that she cantake proper and effective action toavoid collision and be stopped within adistance appropriate to the prevailingcircumstances and conditionsrdquo
One of the conditions addressed inthe rules is state of visibilityApparently these anglers some ofwhom were Coast Guard licensed cap-tains understood the rules and so com-plied However not all the boaters onthe lake that day
were part of the tournament norexercising boat smarts one such boaternearly slammed into one of the tourna-ment boats
ldquoWe were fishing a mile off BigPoint Sable in a hundred and thirty feetof water when out of the fog emerged
this 35-foot powerboatheading right at us pullinga dingy off its sternrdquo saidthe captain of the tourna-ment boat Katch-Me ldquoWewaved our arms andhollered as he bore downon usrdquo The captain figuresthe boat was travelingabout 15 knots
One of the crewmanaboard believes the boatoperator was not expect-ing to encounter in fog afleet of boats on LakeMichigan on a Thursdaymorning Thursday morn-ing or Saturday afternoonhas little to do with main-taining a proper lookoutand using all availablemeans to avoid a collisionin fog Also towing a
dinghy behind a boat in fog is not toobright Another boat could run over thetow line and foul its prop(s) or theboater pulling it might snag the towingline while backing down to avoid a col-lision
What I find disturbing about thisincident is that the tournament boaterswere using all means available toassure not only their own safety butthat of their fellow anglers Then alongcomes a boater who seems oblivious tothe safety of others or worse yet wasjust boat stupid
I suspect it is the latter untilboaters are required to boat smart thosethat do must keep a very sharp lookoutfog or not

Waves are like snowflakes No twoare exactly the same and therefore
you have to treat each one as a unique anddifferent entity The same is true in thebig picturemdashevery sequence of wavesyou face during a race will be at least alittle different from anything you haveever seen before So you must continual-ly work at finding the optimal paththrough the waves you face
When you get to the race course it ishelpful to ask a few questions to under-stand the waves and how they will affectyour race
bull Are the waves perpendicular to thewind direction If the waves are flowingin the same direction as the wind thenyou will generally have symmetry fromtack to tack But If not you will need toset things up differently on each tack
bull Are you going faster or slower thanthe waves downwind Figure out if thewaves are helping you (ie theyre goingfaster than you) or hurting you (yourefaster than them) Also do surfing condi-tions exist This is key to knowing if youare allowed to pump your sails Here arefurther explanations of some of theseconcepts

Key wave conceptsby David Dellenbaugh
bull Whats causing the waves The sizeand shape of waves will depend onwhether they are caused by wind currentor boats You could have smooth swellsfrom a storm far away steep chop when astrong breeze blows over shallow wateror when current flows against the windor random chop from motorboats in aspectator fleet
bull Are the waves the normal size thatyou would expect for the wind velocityFor various reasons the waves might belarger or smaller than normal (see below)This could have huge implications forsteering trimming and sailing the boat
Check for wave asymmetry When youre racing upwind are the waves equal on each tack They are usually similar on port andstarboard tacks because waves are created by the wind and therefore they come from that directionHowever this is not always the case Sometimes the waves are not perpendicular to the wind andthis can have a huge impact on the way you sail your boat
There are several reasons why waves may be different from tack to tack bull Windshifts - If the waves are at first aligned with the wind any change in wind direction will
make them unaligned (at least for a while)This is very common bull Presence of nearby land - If there is land to windward of the course it could affect how waves
move across the racing area bull A distant storm -When youre racing on the ocean there are often swells coming from a direc-
tion thats very different from your sailing wind bull Cross-current - If you have a strong current that is not aligned with the wind it often creates
waves that arent square to the wind When you first start sailing in your race area check to see if the waves are the same on each
tack If not make the appropriate sail trim adjustments For example you will have to make your sailsfuller and more twisted on the bumpier tack (which goes more directly into the waves) On the other(smoother) tack you may be able to trim your sails much flatter and tighter You can point higher onthis tack too and keep your weight a little farther forward
There are also strategic implications of wave asymmetry For example if port tack is smootherit might mean the wind has shifted to the right When wave asymmetry is caused by a persistentwindshift its better to sail the smoother tack first since that will take you in the direction where thewind is shifting
Motorboat waves It would be hard to run most sailboat raceswithout motorboats but it sure would be nice ifwe could run them without motorboat wakesUnfortunately waves from motorboats are afact of life in most racing venues and the goodsailors simply figure out how to handle them
Motorboat waves differ from wind gener-ated waves in several important ways They areoften steeper and closer together (and thereforecan potentially hurt your speed much more)Boat waves typically hit you at strange angles(rather than straight with the wind) And fortu-nately they usually come and go pretty quickly
The first rule for maintaining speedthrough waves is to hit them at an angle(instead of head on)This is normally worthdoing even if it requires a significant alteration inthe course you have been sailing In fact it mayeven make sense to tack or jibe so big waveshit your stern rather than your bow
The second rule of thumb for motorboatwaves is to make sure you are going fast justbefore you hit them In other words be proac-tive by bearing off (or heading up on a run)easing (or trimming) your sails moving weightaft etc Dont wait until the first wave hits youbefore making these changes
As I mentioned above you ideally want tohit motorboat waves at an oblique angle andfully powered up But sometimes you cant doboth When the waves are coming at you paral-lel to the wind you have to make a choice Itsusually better to hit waves at an angle even ifyou have to pinch up and lose a little speedThis seems better than bearing off for speedand hitting the waves head on
Waves relative to windIn any wind velocity there is a certain size andshape of waves that you normally see with thatamount of wind In a five-knot breeze forexample the water surface should be almosttotally flat In 18 knots of wind however youexpect to see fairly good-sized waves withwhitecaps
But as every sailor knows you dontalways get normal sea conditions You mightsee bigger or smaller waves than whats typicalfor that wind velocity and this will affect howyou set up and sail your boat
When Im racing I categorize the wavestate in three general ways
1) Normal waves for the wind 2) Morewind than waves and 3) More waves thanwind Heres a closer look at each
More wind than waves This is almost always a fun condition for sailing(unless youre trying to do a windy jibe) Itsgreat (or painting and speed and makes stay-ing in the groove pretty easy
Here are several times when you are like-ly to see this condition
bull A building breezemdashthe breeze is up butthe waves havent had time to build yet
bull An offshore breezemdashthe water is flatteras you get closer to land because there is lessfetch for the waves to build
bull Current flowing with the wind When you have more wind than waves
you can trim your sails flatter and harder thanyou normally would in that breeze You shouldsail most boats as flat as possible and go formaximum height (pointing)
More waves than wind This is almost always a tough condition for sail-ing (unless you are sailing downwind withenough breeze to surf) It makes finding thegroove difficult and it quickly separates thegood sailors from the rest
You will typically see this condition withbull A dying breezemdashthe breeze always
changes faster than the wave state bull An onshore breezemdashwhen the wind is
blowing toward the shore it usually has a longfetch for the waves to build
bull Current flowing against the wind bull Lots of motorboat wakes (the worst) When you have more waves than wind be
careful about trimming too hard or pointing toohigh Err on the side of twist power and footingso you keep going fast

Watch for leeway caused by waves Waves make sailboats go up and down and they also push boats to leeward
The difference between the course you steer and the course you make goodthrough the water is your leeway angle The size of this angle is a result of
many factors such as heel angle wind velocity boat design and waveheight Though leeway for racing boats is usually not more than a few
degrees it will get slightly larger as the waves get bigger The main place where you will notice leeway is in relationto fixed objects like marks Your laylines are wider for
example in waves so you must allow a little extra distance before tacking
One place where its easyto see how much the waves pushyou to leeward is at the starting lineWhen boats attempt to luff in place on the line
they often slide much farther to leeward thanthey think Thats one reason why there
is often a significant line sag when thewaves are big
Go fast upwindin waves
Except for those few times when youare able to ride a motorboat wake
coming from behind waves are neverhelpful when youre racing upwind Itsalways faster to sail in flatter water andthat should be your first rule of thumbon beats
Sailing fast in waves requires ateam effort that involves the drivertrimmers and the rest of the crew Youhave to look ahead for waves that arecoming shift gears and find the bestway to steer through them
There are three basic strategies fordealing with waves upwind You cansail directly through the waves steerover the waves or try to avoid thewaves More likely you will do somecombination of the above
Going straight through waves isusually the best option when the wavesare everywhere and too small to steeraround The bigger and heavier yourboat the more likely you are to takethis approach since its often impossibleor slow to turn your rudder for individ-ual waves
This is not a great option for biggerwaves but sometimes it is your onlychoice (eg when all the waves are bigand steep) In that case try to keep the
boat going a little faster than usual upthe beat The most costly mistake is tobe too slow when you hit a bad wave
Anticipation is important The keyto maintaining speed through badwaves is to shift gears before you get tothem That means you need enoughwarning to power up your sail planbefore the bow digs into the first wave
Steering over the waves is a goodidea when they are larger and spacedfarther apart and when going straightthrough them is slow The smaller andlighter your boat the more effectivethis is
The basic technique for sailingover waves is to head up on the frontside and bear off the back side In other
30 Visit Northern Breezes Online wwwsailingbreezescom - JuneJuly 2010
words luff toward the wind a little asyou go up the wave and then bear offaway from the wind as you go down theback side The steeper the wave and thefaster your speed over the waves themore sharply you will have to turn yourhelm and your boat
In boats that are light enough to beaffected by the positioning of crewweight combine the steering with arotational movement of your bodiesLean aft (and maybe in a little) as yougo up the wave Then lean out and for-ward as you go over the top and downthe back side
Avoiding waves is always the pre-ferred option This works well whenyou have identifiable areas of badwaves such as boat wakes or sets ofespecially large steep waves Sinceyou can never avoid all waves youmust use this in concert with otherways to sail through waves but thisstrategy should always be a part of yourupwind plan
The techniques that work best inwaves are often subtle enough that younever know how well they are workinguntil you measure your performanceagainst nearby boats So test your wavestrategy before the start and continue toevaluate it during the race If youre notfast change something and try again
Put your weight in the right places One of the reasons why waves make a boat gomore slowly is because they cause it to hobby-horse which disrupts the air flow around itssails and the water flow around its foils This isespecially harmful in lighter air
The main goal of positioning your weightin waves therefore should be to reduce hobby-horsing Keep your crew together as much aspossible and near the middle of the boat In lightair the ideal spot is right at the top of the keelsince that is the point around which the sailplan hull and foils pivot When conditions arebumpy and light its not unusual for crews to sitdown below on the cabin sole (in bigger boats)or to crouch down inside the cockpit (one-designs)This reduces the range of motion ofthe mast and keelcenterboard
In heavy air the crew cant be inside theboat of course Instead they should sit tightlytogether like the crew on the boat above Thefore-and-aft position of their weight depends onthe boat wind strength and wave shapeGenerally the crew should be at least slightlyfarther aft when its rough (than when its flatwith the same wind velocity) to keep the bowfrom plowing into waves
If youre racing upwind in waves and youthink your weight is positioned perfectly but youarent going fast try moving your crew a littlefarther apart Sometimes the boat doesnt clickwith the natural frequency of the wavesmdashbutdifferent crew spacing may improve this har-mony (and therefore your speed)
These waves are unusually large uniform and rounded on top so its not necessary tosteer around them very much The ideal course would be a gradual slight arc to windwardon the approaching face of the wave followed by a similar bearing off down the back side
How much to steer in wavesWhen youre sailing upwind waves will
always slow you down so you should avoidthem as much as possible (see below)However when you turn your rudder to steeraround waves the drag you create will alsomake you go slower Therefore you are alwayssearching for the optimal tradeoff betweenusing a lot of rudder and missing waves versususing less rudder and hitting waves
The only true way to judge whether youare doing a good (fast) job of this is by com-paring your performance to that of a nearbyboat Thats why its critical when you havewaves to train with another boat if possible andto tune up with a competitor before every raceWhile you are doing this try different steeringtechniques to see what is fastest in the unique
conditions that you have on any dayThe last thing you
want to do in awavy race is
to be look-ing for
the groove as you come off the starting line Several factors influence the tradeoff of
how aggressively you should steer (ie howquickly and how far you should turn the rud-der) Here are two important considerations
bull Size and shape of the waves - Are thewaves big small rounded or crested Howsteep and close together are they You donthave to steer much in small waves or even bigswells but medium-size waves can present atough challenge especially when theyre steepandor close together
bull Characteristics of your boat - Is yourboat large or small (relative to the waves) lightor heavy Does it turn easily Does it have anarrow bow that cuts easily through the wavesor a fat bow that slams into waves All thesefactors affect the tradeoff of hitting a wave ver-sus turning to miss it
One thing thats true for all boats andwaves is that when you turn the boat its bestto do this with as little rudder as possibleReduce drag by steering with sail trim and bodyweight For example use windward helm toallow the boat to carve its own turn to windwardon the front of the wave Then at the top of thewave hike out hard and ease the mainsheet ortraveler to help bear off down the back side Ifyou can turn the boat without so much dragthen the tradeoff moves in the direction of steer-ing to miss more waves

Often I chat withboaters regarding a
wide range of boat-smarttopics fog being one Thattopic came to the forefrontafter a fog bank shroudedthe waters off Manisteeduring the Salmon Splash333 fishing TournamentThe captains I spoke withemphasized safety and situ-ational awareness whenoperating in fog in otherwords boat smart
Manisteersquos 2009Salmon Splash 333 Best ofthe Best boasted a $10000first-place price Needlessto say fog was not goingto deter anglers from pur-suing the grand prize evenit meant running in fogwhich they did on the sec-ond day of the tournament In all therewere 58 boats in the tournament
With that many boats picking theirway through the fog in close proximitythe chance for collisions seemed immi-nent yet none occurred or at least nonethat were reported Several captains Ispoke with told me they lost fishinglines severed when boats crossed theirstern ldquoBut that comes with the territo-ryrdquo said one captain referring to thefog especially when fishing linesextend well off the stern
What impressed me about theanglers I spoke with and the tourna-ment guidelines is that safety ruledMatthew Salerno and his brother Tonywho won the $10000 prize aboard theirboat Living a Dream told me they trollat about 25 knots with a forward look-out at all times Safety equipment isreadily at hand and the crew is familiarwith its use
Communicating with other tourna-ment boats is prohibited whether it bea cell phone or marine radio unless inthe event of an emergency These
anglers were literally on their own andalone in the fog ldquoWe kept our eyes onthe radar at all timesrdquo said MattSalerno Not all the boats howevercarried radar but still kept safe by fol-lowing a basic navigation rule
Rule 6 of the Navigation Rulesstates ldquoEvery vessel shall at all timesproceed at a safe speed so that she cantake proper and effective action toavoid collision and be stopped within adistance appropriate to the prevailingcircumstances and conditionsrdquo
One of the conditions addressed inthe rules is state of visibilityApparently these anglers some ofwhom were Coast Guard licensed cap-tains understood the rules and so com-plied However not all the boaters onthe lake that day
were part of the tournament norexercising boat smarts one such boaternearly slammed into one of the tourna-ment boats
ldquoWe were fishing a mile off BigPoint Sable in a hundred and thirty feetof water when out of the fog emerged
this 35-foot powerboatheading right at us pullinga dingy off its sternrdquo saidthe captain of the tourna-ment boat Katch-Me ldquoWewaved our arms andhollered as he bore downon usrdquo The captain figuresthe boat was travelingabout 15 knots
One of the crewmanaboard believes the boatoperator was not expect-ing to encounter in fog afleet of boats on LakeMichigan on a Thursdaymorning Thursday morn-ing or Saturday afternoonhas little to do with main-taining a proper lookoutand using all availablemeans to avoid a collisionin fog Also towing a
dinghy behind a boat in fog is not toobright Another boat could run over thetow line and foul its prop(s) or theboater pulling it might snag the towingline while backing down to avoid a col-lision
What I find disturbing about thisincident is that the tournament boaterswere using all means available toassure not only their own safety butthat of their fellow anglers Then alongcomes a boater who seems oblivious tothe safety of others or worse yet wasjust boat stupid
I suspect it is the latter untilboaters are required to boat smart thosethat do must keep a very sharp lookoutfog or not

Waves are like snowflakes No twoare exactly the same and therefore
you have to treat each one as a unique anddifferent entity The same is true in thebig picturemdashevery sequence of wavesyou face during a race will be at least alittle different from anything you haveever seen before So you must continual-ly work at finding the optimal paththrough the waves you face
When you get to the race course it ishelpful to ask a few questions to under-stand the waves and how they will affectyour race
bull Are the waves perpendicular to thewind direction If the waves are flowingin the same direction as the wind thenyou will generally have symmetry fromtack to tack But If not you will need toset things up differently on each tack
bull Are you going faster or slower thanthe waves downwind Figure out if thewaves are helping you (ie theyre goingfaster than you) or hurting you (yourefaster than them) Also do surfing condi-tions exist This is key to knowing if youare allowed to pump your sails Here arefurther explanations of some of theseconcepts
28 Visit Northern Breezes Online wwwsailingbreezescom - JuneJuly 2010
Key wave conceptsby David Dellenbaugh
bull Whats causing the waves The sizeand shape of waves will depend onwhether they are caused by wind currentor boats You could have smooth swellsfrom a storm far away steep chop when astrong breeze blows over shallow wateror when current flows against the windor random chop from motorboats in aspectator fleet
bull Are the waves the normal size thatyou would expect for the wind velocityFor various reasons the waves might belarger or smaller than normal (see below)This could have huge implications forsteering trimming and sailing the boat
Check for wave asymmetry When youre racing upwind are the waves equal on each tack They are usually similar on port andstarboard tacks because waves are created by the wind and therefore they come from that directionHowever this is not always the case Sometimes the waves are not perpendicular to the wind andthis can have a huge impact on the way you sail your boat
There are several reasons why waves may be different from tack to tack bull Windshifts - If the waves are at first aligned with the wind any change in wind direction will
make them unaligned (at least for a while)This is very common bull Presence of nearby land - If there is land to windward of the course it could affect how waves
move across the racing area bull A distant storm -When youre racing on the ocean there are often swells coming from a direc-
tion thats very different from your sailing wind bull Cross-current - If you have a strong current that is not aligned with the wind it often creates
waves that arent square to the wind When you first start sailing in your race area check to see if the waves are the same on each
tack If not make the appropriate sail trim adjustments For example you will have to make your sailsfuller and more twisted on the bumpier tack (which goes more directly into the waves) On the other(smoother) tack you may be able to trim your sails much flatter and tighter You can point higher onthis tack too and keep your weight a little farther forward
There are also strategic implications of wave asymmetry For example if port tack is smootherit might mean the wind has shifted to the right When wave asymmetry is caused by a persistentwindshift its better to sail the smoother tack first since that will take you in the direction where thewind is shifting
Motorboat waves It would be hard to run most sailboat raceswithout motorboats but it sure would be nice ifwe could run them without motorboat wakesUnfortunately waves from motorboats are afact of life in most racing venues and the goodsailors simply figure out how to handle them
Motorboat waves differ from wind gener-ated waves in several important ways They areoften steeper and closer together (and thereforecan potentially hurt your speed much more)Boat waves typically hit you at strange angles(rather than straight with the wind) And fortu-nately they usually come and go pretty quickly
The first rule for maintaining speedthrough waves is to hit them at an angle(instead of head on)This is normally worthdoing even if it requires a significant alteration inthe course you have been sailing In fact it mayeven make sense to tack or jibe so big waveshit your stern rather than your bow
The second rule of thumb for motorboatwaves is to make sure you are going fast justbefore you hit them In other words be proac-tive by bearing off (or heading up on a run)easing (or trimming) your sails moving weightaft etc Dont wait until the first wave hits youbefore making these changes
As I mentioned above you ideally want tohit motorboat waves at an oblique angle andfully powered up But sometimes you cant doboth When the waves are coming at you paral-lel to the wind you have to make a choice Itsusually better to hit waves at an angle even ifyou have to pinch up and lose a little speedThis seems better than bearing off for speedand hitting the waves head on
Waves relative to windIn any wind velocity there is a certain size andshape of waves that you normally see with thatamount of wind In a five-knot breeze forexample the water surface should be almosttotally flat In 18 knots of wind however youexpect to see fairly good-sized waves withwhitecaps
But as every sailor knows you dontalways get normal sea conditions You mightsee bigger or smaller waves than whats typicalfor that wind velocity and this will affect howyou set up and sail your boat
When Im racing I categorize the wavestate in three general ways
1) Normal waves for the wind 2) Morewind than waves and 3) More waves thanwind Heres a closer look at each
More wind than waves This is almost always a fun condition for sailing(unless youre trying to do a windy jibe) Itsgreat (or painting and speed and makes stay-ing in the groove pretty easy
Here are several times when you are like-ly to see this condition
bull A building breezemdashthe breeze is up butthe waves havent had time to build yet
bull An offshore breezemdashthe water is flatteras you get closer to land because there is lessfetch for the waves to build
bull Current flowing with the wind When you have more wind than waves
you can trim your sails flatter and harder thanyou normally would in that breeze You shouldsail most boats as flat as possible and go formaximum height (pointing)
More waves than wind This is almost always a tough condition for sail-ing (unless you are sailing downwind withenough breeze to surf) It makes finding thegroove difficult and it quickly separates thegood sailors from the rest
You will typically see this condition withbull A dying breezemdashthe breeze always
changes faster than the wave state bull An onshore breezemdashwhen the wind is
blowing toward the shore it usually has a longfetch for the waves to build
bull Current flowing against the wind bull Lots of motorboat wakes (the worst) When you have more waves than wind be
careful about trimming too hard or pointing toohigh Err on the side of twist power and footingso you keep going fast

Watch for leeway caused by waves Waves make sailboats go up and down and they also push boats to leeward
The difference between the course you steer and the course you make goodthrough the water is your leeway angle The size of this angle is a result of
many factors such as heel angle wind velocity boat design and waveheight Though leeway for racing boats is usually not more than a few
degrees it will get slightly larger as the waves get bigger The main place where you will notice leeway is in relationto fixed objects like marks Your laylines are wider for
example in waves so you must allow a little extra distance before tacking
One place where its easyto see how much the waves pushyou to leeward is at the starting lineWhen boats attempt to luff in place on the line
they often slide much farther to leeward thanthey think Thats one reason why there
is often a significant line sag when thewaves are big
Go fast upwindin waves
Except for those few times when youare able to ride a motorboat wake
coming from behind waves are neverhelpful when youre racing upwind Itsalways faster to sail in flatter water andthat should be your first rule of thumbon beats
Sailing fast in waves requires ateam effort that involves the drivertrimmers and the rest of the crew Youhave to look ahead for waves that arecoming shift gears and find the bestway to steer through them
There are three basic strategies fordealing with waves upwind You cansail directly through the waves steerover the waves or try to avoid thewaves More likely you will do somecombination of the above
Going straight through waves isusually the best option when the wavesare everywhere and too small to steeraround The bigger and heavier yourboat the more likely you are to takethis approach since its often impossibleor slow to turn your rudder for individ-ual waves
This is not a great option for biggerwaves but sometimes it is your onlychoice (eg when all the waves are bigand steep) In that case try to keep the
boat going a little faster than usual upthe beat The most costly mistake is tobe too slow when you hit a bad wave
Anticipation is important The keyto maintaining speed through badwaves is to shift gears before you get tothem That means you need enoughwarning to power up your sail planbefore the bow digs into the first wave
Steering over the waves is a goodidea when they are larger and spacedfarther apart and when going straightthrough them is slow The smaller andlighter your boat the more effectivethis is
The basic technique for sailingover waves is to head up on the frontside and bear off the back side In other

words luff toward the wind a little asyou go up the wave and then bear offaway from the wind as you go down theback side The steeper the wave and thefaster your speed over the waves themore sharply you will have to turn yourhelm and your boat
In boats that are light enough to beaffected by the positioning of crewweight combine the steering with arotational movement of your bodiesLean aft (and maybe in a little) as yougo up the wave Then lean out and for-ward as you go over the top and downthe back side
Avoiding waves is always the pre-ferred option This works well whenyou have identifiable areas of badwaves such as boat wakes or sets ofespecially large steep waves Sinceyou can never avoid all waves youmust use this in concert with otherways to sail through waves but thisstrategy should always be a part of yourupwind plan
The techniques that work best inwaves are often subtle enough that younever know how well they are workinguntil you measure your performanceagainst nearby boats So test your wavestrategy before the start and continue toevaluate it during the race If youre notfast change something and try again
Put your weight in the right places One of the reasons why waves make a boat gomore slowly is because they cause it to hobby-horse which disrupts the air flow around itssails and the water flow around its foils This isespecially harmful in lighter air
The main goal of positioning your weightin waves therefore should be to reduce hobby-horsing Keep your crew together as much aspossible and near the middle of the boat In lightair the ideal spot is right at the top of the keelsince that is the point around which the sailplan hull and foils pivot When conditions arebumpy and light its not unusual for crews to sitdown below on the cabin sole (in bigger boats)or to crouch down inside the cockpit (one-designs)This reduces the range of motion ofthe mast and keelcenterboard
In heavy air the crew cant be inside theboat of course Instead they should sit tightlytogether like the crew on the boat above Thefore-and-aft position of their weight depends onthe boat wind strength and wave shapeGenerally the crew should be at least slightlyfarther aft when its rough (than when its flatwith the same wind velocity) to keep the bowfrom plowing into waves
If youre racing upwind in waves and youthink your weight is positioned perfectly but youarent going fast try moving your crew a littlefarther apart Sometimes the boat doesnt clickwith the natural frequency of the wavesmdashbutdifferent crew spacing may improve this har-mony (and therefore your speed)
These waves are unusually large uniform and rounded on top so its not necessary tosteer around them very much The ideal course would be a gradual slight arc to windwardon the approaching face of the wave followed by a similar bearing off down the back side
How much to steer in wavesWhen youre sailing upwind waves will
always slow you down so you should avoidthem as much as possible (see below)However when you turn your rudder to steeraround waves the drag you create will alsomake you go slower Therefore you are alwayssearching for the optimal tradeoff betweenusing a lot of rudder and missing waves versususing less rudder and hitting waves
The only true way to judge whether youare doing a good (fast) job of this is by com-paring your performance to that of a nearbyboat Thats why its critical when you havewaves to train with another boat if possible andto tune up with a competitor before every raceWhile you are doing this try different steeringtechniques to see what is fastest in the unique
conditions that you have on any dayThe last thing you
want to do in awavy race is
to be look-ing for
the groove as you come off the starting line Several factors influence the tradeoff of
how aggressively you should steer (ie howquickly and how far you should turn the rud-der) Here are two important considerations
bull Size and shape of the waves - Are thewaves big small rounded or crested Howsteep and close together are they You donthave to steer much in small waves or even bigswells but medium-size waves can present atough challenge especially when theyre steepandor close together
bull Characteristics of your boat - Is yourboat large or small (relative to the waves) lightor heavy Does it turn easily Does it have anarrow bow that cuts easily through the wavesor a fat bow that slams into waves All thesefactors affect the tradeoff of hitting a wave ver-sus turning to miss it
One thing thats true for all boats andwaves is that when you turn the boat its bestto do this with as little rudder as possibleReduce drag by steering with sail trim and bodyweight For example use windward helm toallow the boat to carve its own turn to windwardon the front of the wave Then at the top of thewave hike out hard and ease the mainsheet ortraveler to help bear off down the back side Ifyou can turn the boat without so much dragthen the tradeoff moves in the direction of steer-ing to miss more waves

Often I chat withboaters regarding a
wide range of boat-smarttopics fog being one Thattopic came to the forefrontafter a fog bank shroudedthe waters off Manisteeduring the Salmon Splash333 fishing TournamentThe captains I spoke withemphasized safety and situ-ational awareness whenoperating in fog in otherwords boat smart
Manisteersquos 2009Salmon Splash 333 Best ofthe Best boasted a $10000first-place price Needlessto say fog was not goingto deter anglers from pur-suing the grand prize evenit meant running in fogwhich they did on the sec-ond day of the tournament In all therewere 58 boats in the tournament
With that many boats picking theirway through the fog in close proximitythe chance for collisions seemed immi-nent yet none occurred or at least nonethat were reported Several captains Ispoke with told me they lost fishinglines severed when boats crossed theirstern ldquoBut that comes with the territo-ryrdquo said one captain referring to thefog especially when fishing linesextend well off the stern
What impressed me about theanglers I spoke with and the tourna-ment guidelines is that safety ruledMatthew Salerno and his brother Tonywho won the $10000 prize aboard theirboat Living a Dream told me they trollat about 25 knots with a forward look-out at all times Safety equipment isreadily at hand and the crew is familiarwith its use
Communicating with other tourna-ment boats is prohibited whether it bea cell phone or marine radio unless inthe event of an emergency These
anglers were literally on their own andalone in the fog ldquoWe kept our eyes onthe radar at all timesrdquo said MattSalerno Not all the boats howevercarried radar but still kept safe by fol-lowing a basic navigation rule
Rule 6 of the Navigation Rulesstates ldquoEvery vessel shall at all timesproceed at a safe speed so that she cantake proper and effective action toavoid collision and be stopped within adistance appropriate to the prevailingcircumstances and conditionsrdquo
One of the conditions addressed inthe rules is state of visibilityApparently these anglers some ofwhom were Coast Guard licensed cap-tains understood the rules and so com-plied However not all the boaters onthe lake that day
were part of the tournament norexercising boat smarts one such boaternearly slammed into one of the tourna-ment boats
ldquoWe were fishing a mile off BigPoint Sable in a hundred and thirty feetof water when out of the fog emerged
this 35-foot powerboatheading right at us pullinga dingy off its sternrdquo saidthe captain of the tourna-ment boat Katch-Me ldquoWewaved our arms andhollered as he bore downon usrdquo The captain figuresthe boat was travelingabout 15 knots
One of the crewmanaboard believes the boatoperator was not expect-ing to encounter in fog afleet of boats on LakeMichigan on a Thursdaymorning Thursday morn-ing or Saturday afternoonhas little to do with main-taining a proper lookoutand using all availablemeans to avoid a collisionin fog Also towing a
dinghy behind a boat in fog is not toobright Another boat could run over thetow line and foul its prop(s) or theboater pulling it might snag the towingline while backing down to avoid a col-lision
What I find disturbing about thisincident is that the tournament boaterswere using all means available toassure not only their own safety butthat of their fellow anglers Then alongcomes a boater who seems oblivious tothe safety of others or worse yet wasjust boat stupid
I suspect it is the latter untilboaters are required to boat smart thosethat do must keep a very sharp lookoutfog or not

Waves are like snowflakes No twoare exactly the same and therefore
you have to treat each one as a unique anddifferent entity The same is true in thebig picturemdashevery sequence of wavesyou face during a race will be at least alittle different from anything you haveever seen before So you must continual-ly work at finding the optimal paththrough the waves you face
When you get to the race course it ishelpful to ask a few questions to under-stand the waves and how they will affectyour race
bull Are the waves perpendicular to thewind direction If the waves are flowingin the same direction as the wind thenyou will generally have symmetry fromtack to tack But If not you will need toset things up differently on each tack
bull Are you going faster or slower thanthe waves downwind Figure out if thewaves are helping you (ie theyre goingfaster than you) or hurting you (yourefaster than them) Also do surfing condi-tions exist This is key to knowing if youare allowed to pump your sails Here arefurther explanations of some of theseconcepts
28 Visit Northern Breezes Online wwwsailingbreezescom - JuneJuly 2010
Key wave conceptsby David Dellenbaugh
bull Whats causing the waves The sizeand shape of waves will depend onwhether they are caused by wind currentor boats You could have smooth swellsfrom a storm far away steep chop when astrong breeze blows over shallow wateror when current flows against the windor random chop from motorboats in aspectator fleet
bull Are the waves the normal size thatyou would expect for the wind velocityFor various reasons the waves might belarger or smaller than normal (see below)This could have huge implications forsteering trimming and sailing the boat
Check for wave asymmetry When youre racing upwind are the waves equal on each tack They are usually similar on port andstarboard tacks because waves are created by the wind and therefore they come from that directionHowever this is not always the case Sometimes the waves are not perpendicular to the wind andthis can have a huge impact on the way you sail your boat
There are several reasons why waves may be different from tack to tack bull Windshifts - If the waves are at first aligned with the wind any change in wind direction will
make them unaligned (at least for a while)This is very common bull Presence of nearby land - If there is land to windward of the course it could affect how waves
move across the racing area bull A distant storm -When youre racing on the ocean there are often swells coming from a direc-
tion thats very different from your sailing wind bull Cross-current - If you have a strong current that is not aligned with the wind it often creates
waves that arent square to the wind When you first start sailing in your race area check to see if the waves are the same on each
tack If not make the appropriate sail trim adjustments For example you will have to make your sailsfuller and more twisted on the bumpier tack (which goes more directly into the waves) On the other(smoother) tack you may be able to trim your sails much flatter and tighter You can point higher onthis tack too and keep your weight a little farther forward
There are also strategic implications of wave asymmetry For example if port tack is smootherit might mean the wind has shifted to the right When wave asymmetry is caused by a persistentwindshift its better to sail the smoother tack first since that will take you in the direction where thewind is shifting
Motorboat waves It would be hard to run most sailboat raceswithout motorboats but it sure would be nice ifwe could run them without motorboat wakesUnfortunately waves from motorboats are afact of life in most racing venues and the goodsailors simply figure out how to handle them
Motorboat waves differ from wind gener-ated waves in several important ways They areoften steeper and closer together (and thereforecan potentially hurt your speed much more)Boat waves typically hit you at strange angles(rather than straight with the wind) And fortu-nately they usually come and go pretty quickly
The first rule for maintaining speedthrough waves is to hit them at an angle(instead of head on)This is normally worthdoing even if it requires a significant alteration inthe course you have been sailing In fact it mayeven make sense to tack or jibe so big waveshit your stern rather than your bow
The second rule of thumb for motorboatwaves is to make sure you are going fast justbefore you hit them In other words be proac-tive by bearing off (or heading up on a run)easing (or trimming) your sails moving weightaft etc Dont wait until the first wave hits youbefore making these changes
As I mentioned above you ideally want tohit motorboat waves at an oblique angle andfully powered up But sometimes you cant doboth When the waves are coming at you paral-lel to the wind you have to make a choice Itsusually better to hit waves at an angle even ifyou have to pinch up and lose a little speedThis seems better than bearing off for speedand hitting the waves head on
Waves relative to windIn any wind velocity there is a certain size andshape of waves that you normally see with thatamount of wind In a five-knot breeze forexample the water surface should be almosttotally flat In 18 knots of wind however youexpect to see fairly good-sized waves withwhitecaps
But as every sailor knows you dontalways get normal sea conditions You mightsee bigger or smaller waves than whats typicalfor that wind velocity and this will affect howyou set up and sail your boat
When Im racing I categorize the wavestate in three general ways
1) Normal waves for the wind 2) Morewind than waves and 3) More waves thanwind Heres a closer look at each
More wind than waves This is almost always a fun condition for sailing(unless youre trying to do a windy jibe) Itsgreat (or painting and speed and makes stay-ing in the groove pretty easy
Here are several times when you are like-ly to see this condition
bull A building breezemdashthe breeze is up butthe waves havent had time to build yet
bull An offshore breezemdashthe water is flatteras you get closer to land because there is lessfetch for the waves to build
bull Current flowing with the wind When you have more wind than waves
you can trim your sails flatter and harder thanyou normally would in that breeze You shouldsail most boats as flat as possible and go formaximum height (pointing)
More waves than wind This is almost always a tough condition for sail-ing (unless you are sailing downwind withenough breeze to surf) It makes finding thegroove difficult and it quickly separates thegood sailors from the rest
You will typically see this condition withbull A dying breezemdashthe breeze always
changes faster than the wave state bull An onshore breezemdashwhen the wind is
blowing toward the shore it usually has a longfetch for the waves to build
bull Current flowing against the wind bull Lots of motorboat wakes (the worst) When you have more waves than wind be
careful about trimming too hard or pointing toohigh Err on the side of twist power and footingso you keep going fast

Watch for leeway caused by waves Waves make sailboats go up and down and they also push boats to leeward
The difference between the course you steer and the course you make goodthrough the water is your leeway angle The size of this angle is a result of
many factors such as heel angle wind velocity boat design and waveheight Though leeway for racing boats is usually not more than a few
degrees it will get slightly larger as the waves get bigger The main place where you will notice leeway is in relationto fixed objects like marks Your laylines are wider for
example in waves so you must allow a little extra distance before tacking
One place where its easyto see how much the waves pushyou to leeward is at the starting lineWhen boats attempt to luff in place on the line
they often slide much farther to leeward thanthey think Thats one reason why there
is often a significant line sag when thewaves are big
Go fast upwindin waves
Except for those few times when youare able to ride a motorboat wake
coming from behind waves are neverhelpful when youre racing upwind Itsalways faster to sail in flatter water andthat should be your first rule of thumbon beats
Sailing fast in waves requires ateam effort that involves the drivertrimmers and the rest of the crew Youhave to look ahead for waves that arecoming shift gears and find the bestway to steer through them
There are three basic strategies fordealing with waves upwind You cansail directly through the waves steerover the waves or try to avoid thewaves More likely you will do somecombination of the above
Going straight through waves isusually the best option when the wavesare everywhere and too small to steeraround The bigger and heavier yourboat the more likely you are to takethis approach since its often impossibleor slow to turn your rudder for individ-ual waves
This is not a great option for biggerwaves but sometimes it is your onlychoice (eg when all the waves are bigand steep) In that case try to keep the
boat going a little faster than usual upthe beat The most costly mistake is tobe too slow when you hit a bad wave
Anticipation is important The keyto maintaining speed through badwaves is to shift gears before you get tothem That means you need enoughwarning to power up your sail planbefore the bow digs into the first wave
Steering over the waves is a goodidea when they are larger and spacedfarther apart and when going straightthrough them is slow The smaller andlighter your boat the more effectivethis is
The basic technique for sailingover waves is to head up on the frontside and bear off the back side In other
30 Visit Northern Breezes Online wwwsailingbreezescom - JuneJuly 2010
words luff toward the wind a little asyou go up the wave and then bear offaway from the wind as you go down theback side The steeper the wave and thefaster your speed over the waves themore sharply you will have to turn yourhelm and your boat
In boats that are light enough to beaffected by the positioning of crewweight combine the steering with arotational movement of your bodiesLean aft (and maybe in a little) as yougo up the wave Then lean out and for-ward as you go over the top and downthe back side
Avoiding waves is always the pre-ferred option This works well whenyou have identifiable areas of badwaves such as boat wakes or sets ofespecially large steep waves Sinceyou can never avoid all waves youmust use this in concert with otherways to sail through waves but thisstrategy should always be a part of yourupwind plan
The techniques that work best inwaves are often subtle enough that younever know how well they are workinguntil you measure your performanceagainst nearby boats So test your wavestrategy before the start and continue toevaluate it during the race If youre notfast change something and try again
Put your weight in the right places One of the reasons why waves make a boat gomore slowly is because they cause it to hobby-horse which disrupts the air flow around itssails and the water flow around its foils This isespecially harmful in lighter air
The main goal of positioning your weightin waves therefore should be to reduce hobby-horsing Keep your crew together as much aspossible and near the middle of the boat In lightair the ideal spot is right at the top of the keelsince that is the point around which the sailplan hull and foils pivot When conditions arebumpy and light its not unusual for crews to sitdown below on the cabin sole (in bigger boats)or to crouch down inside the cockpit (one-designs)This reduces the range of motion ofthe mast and keelcenterboard
In heavy air the crew cant be inside theboat of course Instead they should sit tightlytogether like the crew on the boat above Thefore-and-aft position of their weight depends onthe boat wind strength and wave shapeGenerally the crew should be at least slightlyfarther aft when its rough (than when its flatwith the same wind velocity) to keep the bowfrom plowing into waves
If youre racing upwind in waves and youthink your weight is positioned perfectly but youarent going fast try moving your crew a littlefarther apart Sometimes the boat doesnt clickwith the natural frequency of the wavesmdashbutdifferent crew spacing may improve this har-mony (and therefore your speed)
These waves are unusually large uniform and rounded on top so its not necessary tosteer around them very much The ideal course would be a gradual slight arc to windwardon the approaching face of the wave followed by a similar bearing off down the back side
How much to steer in wavesWhen youre sailing upwind waves will
always slow you down so you should avoidthem as much as possible (see below)However when you turn your rudder to steeraround waves the drag you create will alsomake you go slower Therefore you are alwayssearching for the optimal tradeoff betweenusing a lot of rudder and missing waves versususing less rudder and hitting waves
The only true way to judge whether youare doing a good (fast) job of this is by com-paring your performance to that of a nearbyboat Thats why its critical when you havewaves to train with another boat if possible andto tune up with a competitor before every raceWhile you are doing this try different steeringtechniques to see what is fastest in the unique
conditions that you have on any dayThe last thing you
want to do in awavy race is
to be look-ing for
the groove as you come off the starting line Several factors influence the tradeoff of
how aggressively you should steer (ie howquickly and how far you should turn the rud-der) Here are two important considerations
bull Size and shape of the waves - Are thewaves big small rounded or crested Howsteep and close together are they You donthave to steer much in small waves or even bigswells but medium-size waves can present atough challenge especially when theyre steepandor close together
bull Characteristics of your boat - Is yourboat large or small (relative to the waves) lightor heavy Does it turn easily Does it have anarrow bow that cuts easily through the wavesor a fat bow that slams into waves All thesefactors affect the tradeoff of hitting a wave ver-sus turning to miss it
One thing thats true for all boats andwaves is that when you turn the boat its bestto do this with as little rudder as possibleReduce drag by steering with sail trim and bodyweight For example use windward helm toallow the boat to carve its own turn to windwardon the front of the wave Then at the top of thewave hike out hard and ease the mainsheet ortraveler to help bear off down the back side Ifyou can turn the boat without so much dragthen the tradeoff moves in the direction of steer-ing to miss more waves

Often I chat withboaters regarding a
wide range of boat-smarttopics fog being one Thattopic came to the forefrontafter a fog bank shroudedthe waters off Manisteeduring the Salmon Splash333 fishing TournamentThe captains I spoke withemphasized safety and situ-ational awareness whenoperating in fog in otherwords boat smart
Manisteersquos 2009Salmon Splash 333 Best ofthe Best boasted a $10000first-place price Needlessto say fog was not goingto deter anglers from pur-suing the grand prize evenit meant running in fogwhich they did on the sec-ond day of the tournament In all therewere 58 boats in the tournament
With that many boats picking theirway through the fog in close proximitythe chance for collisions seemed immi-nent yet none occurred or at least nonethat were reported Several captains Ispoke with told me they lost fishinglines severed when boats crossed theirstern ldquoBut that comes with the territo-ryrdquo said one captain referring to thefog especially when fishing linesextend well off the stern
What impressed me about theanglers I spoke with and the tourna-ment guidelines is that safety ruledMatthew Salerno and his brother Tonywho won the $10000 prize aboard theirboat Living a Dream told me they trollat about 25 knots with a forward look-out at all times Safety equipment isreadily at hand and the crew is familiarwith its use
Communicating with other tourna-ment boats is prohibited whether it bea cell phone or marine radio unless inthe event of an emergency These
anglers were literally on their own andalone in the fog ldquoWe kept our eyes onthe radar at all timesrdquo said MattSalerno Not all the boats howevercarried radar but still kept safe by fol-lowing a basic navigation rule
Rule 6 of the Navigation Rulesstates ldquoEvery vessel shall at all timesproceed at a safe speed so that she cantake proper and effective action toavoid collision and be stopped within adistance appropriate to the prevailingcircumstances and conditionsrdquo
One of the conditions addressed inthe rules is state of visibilityApparently these anglers some ofwhom were Coast Guard licensed cap-tains understood the rules and so com-plied However not all the boaters onthe lake that day
were part of the tournament norexercising boat smarts one such boaternearly slammed into one of the tourna-ment boats
ldquoWe were fishing a mile off BigPoint Sable in a hundred and thirty feetof water when out of the fog emerged
this 35-foot powerboatheading right at us pullinga dingy off its sternrdquo saidthe captain of the tourna-ment boat Katch-Me ldquoWewaved our arms andhollered as he bore downon usrdquo The captain figuresthe boat was travelingabout 15 knots
One of the crewmanaboard believes the boatoperator was not expect-ing to encounter in fog afleet of boats on LakeMichigan on a Thursdaymorning Thursday morn-ing or Saturday afternoonhas little to do with main-taining a proper lookoutand using all availablemeans to avoid a collisionin fog Also towing a
dinghy behind a boat in fog is not toobright Another boat could run over thetow line and foul its prop(s) or theboater pulling it might snag the towingline while backing down to avoid a col-lision
What I find disturbing about thisincident is that the tournament boaterswere using all means available toassure not only their own safety butthat of their fellow anglers Then alongcomes a boater who seems oblivious tothe safety of others or worse yet wasjust boat stupid
I suspect it is the latter untilboaters are required to boat smart thosethat do must keep a very sharp lookoutfog or not

Waves are like snowflakes No twoare exactly the same and therefore
you have to treat each one as a unique anddifferent entity The same is true in thebig picturemdashevery sequence of wavesyou face during a race will be at least alittle different from anything you haveever seen before So you must continual-ly work at finding the optimal paththrough the waves you face
When you get to the race course it ishelpful to ask a few questions to under-stand the waves and how they will affectyour race
bull Are the waves perpendicular to thewind direction If the waves are flowingin the same direction as the wind thenyou will generally have symmetry fromtack to tack But If not you will need toset things up differently on each tack
bull Are you going faster or slower thanthe waves downwind Figure out if thewaves are helping you (ie theyre goingfaster than you) or hurting you (yourefaster than them) Also do surfing condi-tions exist This is key to knowing if youare allowed to pump your sails Here arefurther explanations of some of theseconcepts

Key wave conceptsby David Dellenbaugh
bull Whats causing the waves The sizeand shape of waves will depend onwhether they are caused by wind currentor boats You could have smooth swellsfrom a storm far away steep chop when astrong breeze blows over shallow wateror when current flows against the windor random chop from motorboats in aspectator fleet
bull Are the waves the normal size thatyou would expect for the wind velocityFor various reasons the waves might belarger or smaller than normal (see below)This could have huge implications forsteering trimming and sailing the boat
Check for wave asymmetry When youre racing upwind are the waves equal on each tack They are usually similar on port andstarboard tacks because waves are created by the wind and therefore they come from that directionHowever this is not always the case Sometimes the waves are not perpendicular to the wind andthis can have a huge impact on the way you sail your boat
There are several reasons why waves may be different from tack to tack bull Windshifts - If the waves are at first aligned with the wind any change in wind direction will
make them unaligned (at least for a while)This is very common bull Presence of nearby land - If there is land to windward of the course it could affect how waves
move across the racing area bull A distant storm -When youre racing on the ocean there are often swells coming from a direc-
tion thats very different from your sailing wind bull Cross-current - If you have a strong current that is not aligned with the wind it often creates
waves that arent square to the wind When you first start sailing in your race area check to see if the waves are the same on each
tack If not make the appropriate sail trim adjustments For example you will have to make your sailsfuller and more twisted on the bumpier tack (which goes more directly into the waves) On the other(smoother) tack you may be able to trim your sails much flatter and tighter You can point higher onthis tack too and keep your weight a little farther forward
There are also strategic implications of wave asymmetry For example if port tack is smootherit might mean the wind has shifted to the right When wave asymmetry is caused by a persistentwindshift its better to sail the smoother tack first since that will take you in the direction where thewind is shifting
Motorboat waves It would be hard to run most sailboat raceswithout motorboats but it sure would be nice ifwe could run them without motorboat wakesUnfortunately waves from motorboats are afact of life in most racing venues and the goodsailors simply figure out how to handle them
Motorboat waves differ from wind gener-ated waves in several important ways They areoften steeper and closer together (and thereforecan potentially hurt your speed much more)Boat waves typically hit you at strange angles(rather than straight with the wind) And fortu-nately they usually come and go pretty quickly
The first rule for maintaining speedthrough waves is to hit them at an angle(instead of head on)This is normally worthdoing even if it requires a significant alteration inthe course you have been sailing In fact it mayeven make sense to tack or jibe so big waveshit your stern rather than your bow
The second rule of thumb for motorboatwaves is to make sure you are going fast justbefore you hit them In other words be proac-tive by bearing off (or heading up on a run)easing (or trimming) your sails moving weightaft etc Dont wait until the first wave hits youbefore making these changes
As I mentioned above you ideally want tohit motorboat waves at an oblique angle andfully powered up But sometimes you cant doboth When the waves are coming at you paral-lel to the wind you have to make a choice Itsusually better to hit waves at an angle even ifyou have to pinch up and lose a little speedThis seems better than bearing off for speedand hitting the waves head on
Waves relative to windIn any wind velocity there is a certain size andshape of waves that you normally see with thatamount of wind In a five-knot breeze forexample the water surface should be almosttotally flat In 18 knots of wind however youexpect to see fairly good-sized waves withwhitecaps
But as every sailor knows you dontalways get normal sea conditions You mightsee bigger or smaller waves than whats typicalfor that wind velocity and this will affect howyou set up and sail your boat
When Im racing I categorize the wavestate in three general ways
1) Normal waves for the wind 2) Morewind than waves and 3) More waves thanwind Heres a closer look at each
More wind than waves This is almost always a fun condition for sailing(unless youre trying to do a windy jibe) Itsgreat (or painting and speed and makes stay-ing in the groove pretty easy
Here are several times when you are like-ly to see this condition

bull An offshore breezemdashthe water is flatteras you get closer to land because there is lessfetch for the waves to build
bull Current flowing with the wind When you have more wind than waves
you can trim your sails flatter and harder thanyou normally would in that breeze You shouldsail most boats as flat as possible and go formaximum height (pointing)
More waves than wind This is almost always a tough condition for sail-ing (unless you are sailing downwind withenough breeze to surf) It makes finding thegroove difficult and it quickly separates thegood sailors from the rest
You will typically see this condition withbull A dying breezemdashthe breeze always
changes faster than the wave state bull An onshore breezemdashwhen the wind is
blowing toward the shore it usually has a longfetch for the waves to build
bull Current flowing against the wind bull Lots of motorboat wakes (the worst) When you have more waves than wind be
careful about trimming too hard or pointing toohigh Err on the side of twist power and footingso you keep going fast

Watch for leeway caused by waves Waves make sailboats go up and down and they also push boats to leeward
The difference between the course you steer and the course you make goodthrough the water is your leeway angle The size of this angle is a result of
many factors such as heel angle wind velocity boat design and waveheight Though leeway for racing boats is usually not more than a few
degrees it will get slightly larger as the waves get bigger The main place where you will notice leeway is in relationto fixed objects like marks Your laylines are wider for
example in waves so you must allow a little extra distance before tacking
One place where its easyto see how much the waves pushyou to leeward is at the starting lineWhen boats attempt to luff in place on the line
they often slide much farther to leeward thanthey think Thats one reason why there
is often a significant line sag when thewaves are big
Go fast upwindin waves
Except for those few times when youare able to ride a motorboat wake
coming from behind waves are neverhelpful when youre racing upwind Itsalways faster to sail in flatter water andthat should be your first rule of thumbon beats
Sailing fast in waves requires ateam effort that involves the drivertrimmers and the rest of the crew Youhave to look ahead for waves that arecoming shift gears and find the bestway to steer through them
There are three basic strategies fordealing with waves upwind You cansail directly through the waves steerover the waves or try to avoid thewaves More likely you will do somecombination of the above
Going straight through waves isusually the best option when the wavesare everywhere and too small to steeraround The bigger and heavier yourboat the more likely you are to takethis approach since its often impossibleor slow to turn your rudder for individ-ual waves
This is not a great option for biggerwaves but sometimes it is your onlychoice (eg when all the waves are bigand steep) In that case try to keep the
boat going a little faster than usual upthe beat The most costly mistake is tobe too slow when you hit a bad wave
Anticipation is important The keyto maintaining speed through badwaves is to shift gears before you get tothem That means you need enoughwarning to power up your sail planbefore the bow digs into the first wave
Steering over the waves is a goodidea when they are larger and spacedfarther apart and when going straightthrough them is slow The smaller andlighter your boat the more effectivethis is
The basic technique for sailingover waves is to head up on the frontside and bear off the back side In other

words luff toward the wind a little asyou go up the wave and then bear offaway from the wind as you go down theback side The steeper the wave and thefaster your speed over the waves themore sharply you will have to turn yourhelm and your boat
In boats that are light enough to beaffected by the positioning of crewweight combine the steering with arotational movement of your bodiesLean aft (and maybe in a little) as yougo up the wave Then lean out and for-ward as you go over the top and downthe back side
Avoiding waves is always the pre-ferred option This works well whenyou have identifiable areas of badwaves such as boat wakes or sets ofespecially large steep waves Sinceyou can never avoid all waves youmust use this in concert with otherways to sail through waves but thisstrategy should always be a part of yourupwind plan
The techniques that work best inwaves are often subtle enough that younever know how well they are workinguntil you measure your performanceagainst nearby boats So test your wavestrategy before the start and continue toevaluate it during the race If youre notfast change something and try again
Put your weight in the right places One of the reasons why waves make a boat gomore slowly is because they cause it to hobby-horse which disrupts the air flow around itssails and the water flow around its foils This isespecially harmful in lighter air
The main goal of positioning your weightin waves therefore should be to reduce hobby-horsing Keep your crew together as much aspossible and near the middle of the boat In lightair the ideal spot is right at the top of the keelsince that is the point around which the sailplan hull and foils pivot When conditions arebumpy and light its not unusual for crews to sitdown below on the cabin sole (in bigger boats)or to crouch down inside the cockpit (one-designs)This reduces the range of motion ofthe mast and keelcenterboard
In heavy air the crew cant be inside theboat of course Instead they should sit tightlytogether like the crew on the boat above Thefore-and-aft position of their weight depends onthe boat wind strength and wave shapeGenerally the crew should be at least slightlyfarther aft when its rough (than when its flatwith the same wind velocity) to keep the bowfrom plowing into waves
If youre racing upwind in waves and youthink your weight is positioned perfectly but youarent going fast try moving your crew a littlefarther apart Sometimes the boat doesnt clickwith the natural frequency of the wavesmdashbutdifferent crew spacing may improve this har-mony (and therefore your speed)
These waves are unusually large uniform and rounded on top so its not necessary tosteer around them very much The ideal course would be a gradual slight arc to windwardon the approaching face of the wave followed by a similar bearing off down the back side
How much to steer in wavesWhen youre sailing upwind waves will
always slow you down so you should avoidthem as much as possible (see below)However when you turn your rudder to steeraround waves the drag you create will alsomake you go slower Therefore you are alwayssearching for the optimal tradeoff betweenusing a lot of rudder and missing waves versususing less rudder and hitting waves
The only true way to judge whether youare doing a good (fast) job of this is by com-paring your performance to that of a nearbyboat Thats why its critical when you havewaves to train with another boat if possible andto tune up with a competitor before every raceWhile you are doing this try different steeringtechniques to see what is fastest in the unique
conditions that you have on any dayThe last thing you
want to do in awavy race is
to be look-ing for
the groove as you come off the starting line Several factors influence the tradeoff of
how aggressively you should steer (ie howquickly and how far you should turn the rud-der) Here are two important considerations
bull Size and shape of the waves - Are thewaves big small rounded or crested Howsteep and close together are they You donthave to steer much in small waves or even bigswells but medium-size waves can present atough challenge especially when theyre steepandor close together
bull Characteristics of your boat - Is yourboat large or small (relative to the waves) lightor heavy Does it turn easily Does it have anarrow bow that cuts easily through the wavesor a fat bow that slams into waves All thesefactors affect the tradeoff of hitting a wave ver-sus turning to miss it
One thing thats true for all boats andwaves is that when you turn the boat its bestto do this with as little rudder as possibleReduce drag by steering with sail trim and bodyweight For example use windward helm toallow the boat to carve its own turn to windwardon the front of the wave Then at the top of thewave hike out hard and ease the mainsheet ortraveler to help bear off down the back side Ifyou can turn the boat without so much dragthen the tradeoff moves in the direction of steer-ing to miss more waves

Often I chat withboaters regarding a
wide range of boat-smarttopics fog being one Thattopic came to the forefrontafter a fog bank shroudedthe waters off Manisteeduring the Salmon Splash333 fishing TournamentThe captains I spoke withemphasized safety and situ-ational awareness whenoperating in fog in otherwords boat smart
Manisteersquos 2009Salmon Splash 333 Best ofthe Best boasted a $10000first-place price Needlessto say fog was not goingto deter anglers from pur-suing the grand prize evenit meant running in fogwhich they did on the sec-ond day of the tournament In all therewere 58 boats in the tournament
With that many boats picking theirway through the fog in close proximitythe chance for collisions seemed immi-nent yet none occurred or at least nonethat were reported Several captains Ispoke with told me they lost fishinglines severed when boats crossed theirstern ldquoBut that comes with the territo-ryrdquo said one captain referring to thefog especially when fishing linesextend well off the stern
What impressed me about theanglers I spoke with and the tourna-ment guidelines is that safety ruledMatthew Salerno and his brother Tonywho won the $10000 prize aboard theirboat Living a Dream told me they trollat about 25 knots with a forward look-out at all times Safety equipment isreadily at hand and the crew is familiarwith its use
Communicating with other tourna-ment boats is prohibited whether it bea cell phone or marine radio unless inthe event of an emergency These
anglers were literally on their own andalone in the fog ldquoWe kept our eyes onthe radar at all timesrdquo said MattSalerno Not all the boats howevercarried radar but still kept safe by fol-lowing a basic navigation rule
Rule 6 of the Navigation Rulesstates ldquoEvery vessel shall at all timesproceed at a safe speed so that she cantake proper and effective action toavoid collision and be stopped within adistance appropriate to the prevailingcircumstances and conditionsrdquo
One of the conditions addressed inthe rules is state of visibilityApparently these anglers some ofwhom were Coast Guard licensed cap-tains understood the rules and so com-plied However not all the boaters onthe lake that day
were part of the tournament norexercising boat smarts one such boaternearly slammed into one of the tourna-ment boats
ldquoWe were fishing a mile off BigPoint Sable in a hundred and thirty feetof water when out of the fog emerged
this 35-foot powerboatheading right at us pullinga dingy off its sternrdquo saidthe captain of the tourna-ment boat Katch-Me ldquoWewaved our arms andhollered as he bore downon usrdquo The captain figuresthe boat was travelingabout 15 knots
One of the crewmanaboard believes the boatoperator was not expect-ing to encounter in fog afleet of boats on LakeMichigan on a Thursdaymorning Thursday morn-ing or Saturday afternoonhas little to do with main-taining a proper lookoutand using all availablemeans to avoid a collisionin fog Also towing a
dinghy behind a boat in fog is not toobright Another boat could run over thetow line and foul its prop(s) or theboater pulling it might snag the towingline while backing down to avoid a col-lision
What I find disturbing about thisincident is that the tournament boaterswere using all means available toassure not only their own safety butthat of their fellow anglers Then alongcomes a boater who seems oblivious tothe safety of others or worse yet wasjust boat stupid
I suspect it is the latter untilboaters are required to boat smart thosethat do must keep a very sharp lookoutfog or not

Waves are like snowflakes No twoare exactly the same and therefore
you have to treat each one as a unique anddifferent entity The same is true in thebig picturemdashevery sequence of wavesyou face during a race will be at least alittle different from anything you haveever seen before So you must continual-ly work at finding the optimal paththrough the waves you face
When you get to the race course it ishelpful to ask a few questions to under-stand the waves and how they will affectyour race
bull Are the waves perpendicular to thewind direction If the waves are flowingin the same direction as the wind thenyou will generally have symmetry fromtack to tack But If not you will need toset things up differently on each tack
bull Are you going faster or slower thanthe waves downwind Figure out if thewaves are helping you (ie theyre goingfaster than you) or hurting you (yourefaster than them) Also do surfing condi-tions exist This is key to knowing if youare allowed to pump your sails Here arefurther explanations of some of theseconcepts

Key wave conceptsby David Dellenbaugh
bull Whats causing the waves The sizeand shape of waves will depend onwhether they are caused by wind currentor boats You could have smooth swellsfrom a storm far away steep chop when astrong breeze blows over shallow wateror when current flows against the windor random chop from motorboats in aspectator fleet
bull Are the waves the normal size thatyou would expect for the wind velocityFor various reasons the waves might belarger or smaller than normal (see below)This could have huge implications forsteering trimming and sailing the boat
Check for wave asymmetry When youre racing upwind are the waves equal on each tack They are usually similar on port andstarboard tacks because waves are created by the wind and therefore they come from that directionHowever this is not always the case Sometimes the waves are not perpendicular to the wind andthis can have a huge impact on the way you sail your boat
There are several reasons why waves may be different from tack to tack bull Windshifts - If the waves are at first aligned with the wind any change in wind direction will
make them unaligned (at least for a while)This is very common bull Presence of nearby land - If there is land to windward of the course it could affect how waves
move across the racing area bull A distant storm -When youre racing on the ocean there are often swells coming from a direc-
tion thats very different from your sailing wind bull Cross-current - If you have a strong current that is not aligned with the wind it often creates
waves that arent square to the wind When you first start sailing in your race area check to see if the waves are the same on each
tack If not make the appropriate sail trim adjustments For example you will have to make your sailsfuller and more twisted on the bumpier tack (which goes more directly into the waves) On the other(smoother) tack you may be able to trim your sails much flatter and tighter You can point higher onthis tack too and keep your weight a little farther forward
There are also strategic implications of wave asymmetry For example if port tack is smootherit might mean the wind has shifted to the right When wave asymmetry is caused by a persistentwindshift its better to sail the smoother tack first since that will take you in the direction where thewind is shifting
Motorboat waves It would be hard to run most sailboat raceswithout motorboats but it sure would be nice ifwe could run them without motorboat wakesUnfortunately waves from motorboats are afact of life in most racing venues and the goodsailors simply figure out how to handle them
Motorboat waves differ from wind gener-ated waves in several important ways They areoften steeper and closer together (and thereforecan potentially hurt your speed much more)Boat waves typically hit you at strange angles(rather than straight with the wind) And fortu-nately they usually come and go pretty quickly
The first rule for maintaining speedthrough waves is to hit them at an angle(instead of head on)This is normally worthdoing even if it requires a significant alteration inthe course you have been sailing In fact it mayeven make sense to tack or jibe so big waveshit your stern rather than your bow
The second rule of thumb for motorboatwaves is to make sure you are going fast justbefore you hit them In other words be proac-tive by bearing off (or heading up on a run)easing (or trimming) your sails moving weightaft etc Dont wait until the first wave hits youbefore making these changes
As I mentioned above you ideally want tohit motorboat waves at an oblique angle andfully powered up But sometimes you cant doboth When the waves are coming at you paral-lel to the wind you have to make a choice Itsusually better to hit waves at an angle even ifyou have to pinch up and lose a little speedThis seems better than bearing off for speedand hitting the waves head on
Waves relative to windIn any wind velocity there is a certain size andshape of waves that you normally see with thatamount of wind In a five-knot breeze forexample the water surface should be almosttotally flat In 18 knots of wind however youexpect to see fairly good-sized waves withwhitecaps
But as every sailor knows you dontalways get normal sea conditions You mightsee bigger or smaller waves than whats typicalfor that wind velocity and this will affect howyou set up and sail your boat
When Im racing I categorize the wavestate in three general ways
1) Normal waves for the wind 2) Morewind than waves and 3) More waves thanwind Heres a closer look at each
More wind than waves This is almost always a fun condition for sailing(unless youre trying to do a windy jibe) Itsgreat (or painting and speed and makes stay-ing in the groove pretty easy
Here are several times when you are like-ly to see this condition
bull A building breezemdashthe breeze is up butthe waves havent had time to build yet
bull An offshore breezemdashthe water is flatteras you get closer to land because there is lessfetch for the waves to build
bull Current flowing with the wind When you have more wind than waves
you can trim your sails flatter and harder thanyou normally would in that breeze You shouldsail most boats as flat as possible and go formaximum height (pointing)
More waves than wind This is almost always a tough condition for sail-ing (unless you are sailing downwind withenough breeze to surf) It makes finding thegroove difficult and it quickly separates thegood sailors from the rest
You will typically see this condition withbull A dying breezemdashthe breeze always
changes faster than the wave state bull An onshore breezemdashwhen the wind is
blowing toward the shore it usually has a longfetch for the waves to build
bull Current flowing against the wind bull Lots of motorboat wakes (the worst) When you have more waves than wind be
careful about trimming too hard or pointing toohigh Err on the side of twist power and footingso you keep going fast

always slow you down so you should avoidthem as much as possible (see below)However when you turn your rudder to steeraround waves the drag you create will alsomake you go slower Therefore you are alwayssearching for the optimal tradeoff betweenusing a lot of rudder and missing waves versususing less rudder and hitting waves
The only true way to judge whether youare doing a good (fast) job of this is by com-paring your performance to that of a nearbyboat Thats why its critical when you havewaves to train with another boat if possible andto tune up with a competitor before every raceWhile you are doing this try different steeringtechniques to see what is fastest in the unique
conditions that you have on any dayThe last thing you
want to do in awavy race is
to be look-ing for
the groove as you come off the starting line Several factors influence the tradeoff of
how aggressively you should steer (ie howquickly and how far you should turn the rud-der) Here are two important considerations
bull Size and shape of the waves - Are thewaves big small rounded or crested Howsteep and close together are they You donthave to steer much in small waves or even bigswells but medium-size waves can present atough challenge especially when theyre steepandor close together
bull Characteristics of your boat - Is yourboat large or small (relative to the waves) lightor heavy Does it turn easily Does it have anarrow bow that cuts easily through the wavesor a fat bow that slams into waves All thesefactors affect the tradeoff of hitting a wave ver-sus turning to miss it
One thing thats true for all boats andwaves is that when you turn the boat its bestto do this with as little rudder as possibleReduce drag by steering with sail trim and bodyweight For example use windward helm toallow the boat to carve its own turn to windwardon the front of the wave Then at the top of thewave hike out hard and ease the mainsheet ortraveler to help bear off down the back side Ifyou can turn the boat without so much dragthen the tradeoff moves in the direction of steer-ing to miss more waves

Often I chat withboaters regarding a
wide range of boat-smarttopics fog being one Thattopic came to the forefrontafter a fog bank shroudedthe waters off Manisteeduring the Salmon Splash333 fishing TournamentThe captains I spoke withemphasized safety and situ-ational awareness whenoperating in fog in otherwords boat smart
Manisteersquos 2009Salmon Splash 333 Best ofthe Best boasted a $10000first-place price Needlessto say fog was not goingto deter anglers from pur-suing the grand prize evenit meant running in fogwhich they did on the sec-ond day of the tournament In all therewere 58 boats in the tournament
With that many boats picking theirway through the fog in close proximitythe chance for collisions seemed immi-nent yet none occurred or at least nonethat were reported Several captains Ispoke with told me they lost fishinglines severed when boats crossed theirstern ldquoBut that comes with the territo-ryrdquo said one captain referring to thefog especially when fishing linesextend well off the stern
What impressed me about theanglers I spoke with and the tourna-ment guidelines is that safety ruledMatthew Salerno and his brother Tonywho won the $10000 prize aboard theirboat Living a Dream told me they trollat about 25 knots with a forward look-out at all times Safety equipment isreadily at hand and the crew is familiarwith its use
Communicating with other tourna-ment boats is prohibited whether it bea cell phone or marine radio unless inthe event of an emergency These
anglers were literally on their own andalone in the fog ldquoWe kept our eyes onthe radar at all timesrdquo said MattSalerno Not all the boats howevercarried radar but still kept safe by fol-lowing a basic navigation rule
Rule 6 of the Navigation Rulesstates ldquoEvery vessel shall at all timesproceed at a safe speed so that she cantake proper and effective action toavoid collision and be stopped within adistance appropriate to the prevailingcircumstances and conditionsrdquo
One of the conditions addressed inthe rules is state of visibilityApparently these anglers some ofwhom were Coast Guard licensed cap-tains understood the rules and so com-plied However not all the boaters onthe lake that day
were part of the tournament norexercising boat smarts one such boaternearly slammed into one of the tourna-ment boats
ldquoWe were fishing a mile off BigPoint Sable in a hundred and thirty feetof water when out of the fog emerged
this 35-foot powerboatheading right at us pullinga dingy off its sternrdquo saidthe captain of the tourna-ment boat Katch-Me ldquoWewaved our arms andhollered as he bore downon usrdquo The captain figuresthe boat was travelingabout 15 knots
One of the crewmanaboard believes the boatoperator was not expect-ing to encounter in fog afleet of boats on LakeMichigan on a Thursdaymorning Thursday morn-ing or Saturday afternoonhas little to do with main-taining a proper lookoutand using all availablemeans to avoid a collisionin fog Also towing a
dinghy behind a boat in fog is not toobright Another boat could run over thetow line and foul its prop(s) or theboater pulling it might snag the towingline while backing down to avoid a col-lision
What I find disturbing about thisincident is that the tournament boaterswere using all means available toassure not only their own safety butthat of their fellow anglers Then alongcomes a boater who seems oblivious tothe safety of others or worse yet wasjust boat stupid
I suspect it is the latter untilboaters are required to boat smart thosethat do must keep a very sharp lookoutfog or not

Waves are like snowflakes No twoare exactly the same and therefore
you have to treat each one as a unique anddifferent entity The same is true in thebig picturemdashevery sequence of wavesyou face during a race will be at least alittle different from anything you haveever seen before So you must continual-ly work at finding the optimal paththrough the waves you face
When you get to the race course it ishelpful to ask a few questions to under-stand the waves and how they will affectyour race
bull Are the waves perpendicular to thewind direction If the waves are flowingin the same direction as the wind thenyou will generally have symmetry fromtack to tack But If not you will need toset things up differently on each tack
bull Are you going faster or slower thanthe waves downwind Figure out if thewaves are helping you (ie theyre goingfaster than you) or hurting you (yourefaster than them) Also do surfing condi-tions exist This is key to knowing if youare allowed to pump your sails Here arefurther explanations of some of theseconcepts

Key wave conceptsby David Dellenbaugh
bull Whats causing the waves The sizeand shape of waves will depend onwhether they are caused by wind currentor boats You could have smooth swellsfrom a storm far away steep chop when astrong breeze blows over shallow wateror when current flows against the windor random chop from motorboats in aspectator fleet
bull Are the waves the normal size thatyou would expect for the wind velocityFor various reasons the waves might belarger or smaller than normal (see below)This could have huge implications forsteering trimming and sailing the boat
Check for wave asymmetry When youre racing upwind are the waves equal on each tack They are usually similar on port andstarboard tacks because waves are created by the wind and therefore they come from that directionHowever this is not always the case Sometimes the waves are not perpendicular to the wind andthis can have a huge impact on the way you sail your boat
There are several reasons why waves may be different from tack to tack bull Windshifts - If the waves are at first aligned with the wind any change in wind direction will
make them unaligned (at least for a while)This is very common bull Presence of nearby land - If there is land to windward of the course it could affect how waves
move across the racing area bull A distant storm -When youre racing on the ocean there are often swells coming from a direc-
tion thats very different from your sailing wind bull Cross-current - If you have a strong current that is not aligned with the wind it often creates
waves that arent square to the wind When you first start sailing in your race area check to see if the waves are the same on each
tack If not make the appropriate sail trim adjustments For example you will have to make your sailsfuller and more twisted on the bumpier tack (which goes more directly into the waves) On the other(smoother) tack you may be able to trim your sails much flatter and tighter You can point higher onthis tack too and keep your weight a little farther forward
There are also strategic implications of wave asymmetry For example if port tack is smootherit might mean the wind has shifted to the right When wave asymmetry is caused by a persistentwindshift its better to sail the smoother tack first since that will take you in the direction where thewind is shifting
Motorboat waves It would be hard to run most sailboat raceswithout motorboats but it sure would be nice ifwe could run them without motorboat wakesUnfortunately waves from motorboats are afact of life in most racing venues and the goodsailors simply figure out how to handle them
Motorboat waves differ from wind gener-ated waves in several important ways They areoften steeper and closer together (and thereforecan potentially hurt your speed much more)Boat waves typically hit you at strange angles(rather than straight with the wind) And fortu-nately they usually come and go pretty quickly
The first rule for maintaining speedthrough waves is to hit them at an angle(instead of head on)This is normally worthdoing even if it requires a significant alteration inthe course you have been sailing In fact it mayeven make sense to tack or jibe so big waveshit your stern rather than your bow
The second rule of thumb for motorboatwaves is to make sure you are going fast justbefore you hit them In other words be proac-tive by bearing off (or heading up on a run)easing (or trimming) your sails moving weightaft etc Dont wait until the first wave hits youbefore making these changes
As I mentioned above you ideally want tohit motorboat waves at an oblique angle andfully powered up But sometimes you cant doboth When the waves are coming at you paral-lel to the wind you have to make a choice Itsusually better to hit waves at an angle even ifyou have to pinch up and lose a little speedThis seems better than bearing off for speedand hitting the waves head on
Waves relative to windIn any wind velocity there is a certain size andshape of waves that you normally see with thatamount of wind In a five-knot breeze forexample the water surface should be almosttotally flat In 18 knots of wind however youexpect to see fairly good-sized waves withwhitecaps
But as every sailor knows you dontalways get normal sea conditions You mightsee bigger or smaller waves than whats typicalfor that wind velocity and this will affect howyou set up and sail your boat
When Im racing I categorize the wavestate in three general ways
1) Normal waves for the wind 2) Morewind than waves and 3) More waves thanwind Heres a closer look at each
More wind than waves This is almost always a fun condition for sailing(unless youre trying to do a windy jibe) Itsgreat (or painting and speed and makes stay-ing in the groove pretty easy
Here are several times when you are like-ly to see this condition
bull A building breezemdashthe breeze is up butthe waves havent had time to build yet
bull An offshore breezemdashthe water is flatteras you get closer to land because there is lessfetch for the waves to build
bull Current flowing with the wind When you have more wind than waves
you can trim your sails flatter and harder thanyou normally would in that breeze You shouldsail most boats as flat as possible and go formaximum height (pointing)
More waves than wind This is almost always a tough condition for sail-ing (unless you are sailing downwind withenough breeze to surf) It makes finding thegroove difficult and it quickly separates thegood sailors from the rest
You will typically see this condition withbull A dying breezemdashthe breeze always
changes faster than the wave state bull An onshore breezemdashwhen the wind is
blowing toward the shore it usually has a longfetch for the waves to build
bull Current flowing against the wind bull Lots of motorboat wakes (the worst) When you have more waves than wind be
careful about trimming too hard or pointing toohigh Err on the side of twist power and footingso you keep going fast

Watch for leeway caused by waves Waves make sailboats go up and down and they also push boats to leeward
The difference between the course you steer and the course you make goodthrough the water is your leeway angle The size of this angle is a result of
many factors such as heel angle wind velocity boat design and waveheight Though leeway for racing boats is usually not more than a few
degrees it will get slightly larger as the waves get bigger The main place where you will notice leeway is in relationto fixed objects like marks Your laylines are wider for
example in waves so you must allow a little extra distance before tacking
One place where its easyto see how much the waves pushyou to leeward is at the starting lineWhen boats attempt to luff in place on the line
they often slide much farther to leeward thanthey think Thats one reason why there
is often a significant line sag when thewaves are big
Go fast upwindin waves
Except for those few times when youare able to ride a motorboat wake
coming from behind waves are neverhelpful when youre racing upwind Itsalways faster to sail in flatter water andthat should be your first rule of thumbon beats
Sailing fast in waves requires ateam effort that involves the drivertrimmers and the rest of the crew Youhave to look ahead for waves that arecoming shift gears and find the bestway to steer through them
There are three basic strategies fordealing with waves upwind You cansail directly through the waves steerover the waves or try to avoid thewaves More likely you will do somecombination of the above
Going straight through waves isusually the best option when the wavesare everywhere and too small to steeraround The bigger and heavier yourboat the more likely you are to takethis approach since its often impossibleor slow to turn your rudder for individ-ual waves
This is not a great option for biggerwaves but sometimes it is your onlychoice (eg when all the waves are bigand steep) In that case try to keep the
boat going a little faster than usual upthe beat The most costly mistake is tobe too slow when you hit a bad wave
Anticipation is important The keyto maintaining speed through badwaves is to shift gears before you get tothem That means you need enoughwarning to power up your sail planbefore the bow digs into the first wave
Steering over the waves is a goodidea when they are larger and spacedfarther apart and when going straightthrough them is slow The smaller andlighter your boat the more effectivethis is
The basic technique for sailingover waves is to head up on the frontside and bear off the back side In other
30 Visit Northern Breezes Online wwwsailingbreezescom - JuneJuly 2010
words luff toward the wind a little asyou go up the wave and then bear offaway from the wind as you go down theback side The steeper the wave and thefaster your speed over the waves themore sharply you will have to turn yourhelm and your boat
In boats that are light enough to beaffected by the positioning of crewweight combine the steering with arotational movement of your bodiesLean aft (and maybe in a little) as yougo up the wave Then lean out and for-ward as you go over the top and downthe back side
Avoiding waves is always the pre-ferred option This works well whenyou have identifiable areas of badwaves such as boat wakes or sets ofespecially large steep waves Sinceyou can never avoid all waves youmust use this in concert with otherways to sail through waves but thisstrategy should always be a part of yourupwind plan
The techniques that work best inwaves are often subtle enough that younever know how well they are workinguntil you measure your performanceagainst nearby boats So test your wavestrategy before the start and continue toevaluate it during the race If youre notfast change something and try again
Put your weight in the right places One of the reasons why waves make a boat gomore slowly is because they cause it to hobby-horse which disrupts the air flow around itssails and the water flow around its foils This isespecially harmful in lighter air
The main goal of positioning your weightin waves therefore should be to reduce hobby-horsing Keep your crew together as much aspossible and near the middle of the boat In lightair the ideal spot is right at the top of the keelsince that is the point around which the sailplan hull and foils pivot When conditions arebumpy and light its not unusual for crews to sitdown below on the cabin sole (in bigger boats)or to crouch down inside the cockpit (one-designs)This reduces the range of motion ofthe mast and keelcenterboard
In heavy air the crew cant be inside theboat of course Instead they should sit tightlytogether like the crew on the boat above Thefore-and-aft position of their weight depends onthe boat wind strength and wave shapeGenerally the crew should be at least slightlyfarther aft when its rough (than when its flatwith the same wind velocity) to keep the bowfrom plowing into waves
If youre racing upwind in waves and youthink your weight is positioned perfectly but youarent going fast try moving your crew a littlefarther apart Sometimes the boat doesnt clickwith the natural frequency of the wavesmdashbutdifferent crew spacing may improve this har-mony (and therefore your speed)
These waves are unusually large uniform and rounded on top so its not necessary tosteer around them very much The ideal course would be a gradual slight arc to windwardon the approaching face of the wave followed by a similar bearing off down the back side
How much to steer in wavesWhen youre sailing upwind waves will
always slow you down so you should avoidthem as much as possible (see below)However when you turn your rudder to steeraround waves the drag you create will alsomake you go slower Therefore you are alwayssearching for the optimal tradeoff betweenusing a lot of rudder and missing waves versususing less rudder and hitting waves

Waves are like snowflakes No twoare exactly the same and therefore
you have to treat each one as a unique anddifferent entity The same is true in thebig picturemdashevery sequence of wavesyou face during a race will be at least alittle different from anything you haveever seen before So you must continual-ly work at finding the optimal paththrough the waves you face
When you get to the race course it ishelpful to ask a few questions to under-stand the waves and how they will affectyour race
bull Are the waves perpendicular to thewind direction If the waves are flowingin the same direction as the wind thenyou will generally have symmetry fromtack to tack But If not you will need toset things up differently on each tack
bull Are you going faster or slower thanthe waves downwind Figure out if thewaves are helping you (ie theyre goingfaster than you) or hurting you (yourefaster than them) Also do surfing condi-tions exist This is key to knowing if youare allowed to pump your sails Here arefurther explanations of some of theseconcepts

Key wave conceptsby David Dellenbaugh
bull Whats causing the waves The sizeand shape of waves will depend onwhether they are caused by wind currentor boats You could have smooth swellsfrom a storm far away steep chop when astrong breeze blows over shallow wateror when current flows against the windor random chop from motorboats in aspectator fleet
bull Are the waves the normal size thatyou would expect for the wind velocityFor various reasons the waves might belarger or smaller than normal (see below)This could have huge implications forsteering trimming and sailing the boat
Check for wave asymmetry When youre racing upwind are the waves equal on each tack They are usually similar on port andstarboard tacks because waves are created by the wind and therefore they come from that directionHowever this is not always the case Sometimes the waves are not perpendicular to the wind andthis can have a huge impact on the way you sail your boat
There are several reasons why waves may be different from tack to tack bull Windshifts - If the waves are at first aligned with the wind any change in wind direction will
make them unaligned (at least for a while)This is very common bull Presence of nearby land - If there is land to windward of the course it could affect how waves
move across the racing area bull A distant storm -When youre racing on the ocean there are often swells coming from a direc-
tion thats very different from your sailing wind bull Cross-current - If you have a strong current that is not aligned with the wind it often creates
waves that arent square to the wind When you first start sailing in your race area check to see if the waves are the same on each
tack If not make the appropriate sail trim adjustments For example you will have to make your sailsfuller and more twisted on the bumpier tack (which goes more directly into the waves) On the other(smoother) tack you may be able to trim your sails much flatter and tighter You can point higher onthis tack too and keep your weight a little farther forward
There are also strategic implications of wave asymmetry For example if port tack is smootherit might mean the wind has shifted to the right When wave asymmetry is caused by a persistentwindshift its better to sail the smoother tack first since that will take you in the direction where thewind is shifting
Motorboat waves It would be hard to run most sailboat raceswithout motorboats but it sure would be nice ifwe could run them without motorboat wakesUnfortunately waves from motorboats are afact of life in most racing venues and the goodsailors simply figure out how to handle them
Motorboat waves differ from wind gener-ated waves in several important ways They areoften steeper and closer together (and thereforecan potentially hurt your speed much more)Boat waves typically hit you at strange angles(rather than straight with the wind) And fortu-nately they usually come and go pretty quickly
The first rule for maintaining speedthrough waves is to hit them at an angle(instead of head on)This is normally worthdoing even if it requires a significant alteration inthe course you have been sailing In fact it mayeven make sense to tack or jibe so big waveshit your stern rather than your bow
The second rule of thumb for motorboatwaves is to make sure you are going fast justbefore you hit them In other words be proac-tive by bearing off (or heading up on a run)easing (or trimming) your sails moving weightaft etc Dont wait until the first wave hits youbefore making these changes
As I mentioned above you ideally want tohit motorboat waves at an oblique angle andfully powered up But sometimes you cant doboth When the waves are coming at you paral-lel to the wind you have to make a choice Itsusually better to hit waves at an angle even ifyou have to pinch up and lose a little speedThis seems better than bearing off for speedand hitting the waves head on
Waves relative to windIn any wind velocity there is a certain size andshape of waves that you normally see with thatamount of wind In a five-knot breeze forexample the water surface should be almosttotally flat In 18 knots of wind however youexpect to see fairly good-sized waves withwhitecaps
But as every sailor knows you dontalways get normal sea conditions You mightsee bigger or smaller waves than whats typicalfor that wind velocity and this will affect howyou set up and sail your boat
When Im racing I categorize the wavestate in three general ways
1) Normal waves for the wind 2) Morewind than waves and 3) More waves thanwind Heres a closer look at each
More wind than waves This is almost always a fun condition for sailing(unless youre trying to do a windy jibe) Itsgreat (or painting and speed and makes stay-ing in the groove pretty easy
Here are several times when you are like-ly to see this condition
bull A building breezemdashthe breeze is up butthe waves havent had time to build yet
bull An offshore breezemdashthe water is flatteras you get closer to land because there is lessfetch for the waves to build
bull Current flowing with the wind When you have more wind than waves
you can trim your sails flatter and harder thanyou normally would in that breeze You shouldsail most boats as flat as possible and go formaximum height (pointing)
More waves than wind This is almost always a tough condition for sail-ing (unless you are sailing downwind withenough breeze to surf) It makes finding thegroove difficult and it quickly separates thegood sailors from the rest
You will typically see this condition withbull A dying breezemdashthe breeze always
changes faster than the wave state bull An onshore breezemdashwhen the wind is
blowing toward the shore it usually has a longfetch for the waves to build
bull Current flowing against the wind bull Lots of motorboat wakes (the worst) When you have more waves than wind be
careful about trimming too hard or pointing toohigh Err on the side of twist power and footingso you keep going fast

Watch for leeway caused by waves Waves make sailboats go up and down and they also push boats to leeward
The difference between the course you steer and the course you make goodthrough the water is your leeway angle The size of this angle is a result of
many factors such as heel angle wind velocity boat design and waveheight Though leeway for racing boats is usually not more than a few
degrees it will get slightly larger as the waves get bigger The main place where you will notice leeway is in relationto fixed objects like marks Your laylines are wider for
example in waves so you must allow a little extra distance before tacking
One place where its easyto see how much the waves pushyou to leeward is at the starting lineWhen boats attempt to luff in place on the line
they often slide much farther to leeward thanthey think Thats one reason why there
is often a significant line sag when thewaves are big
Go fast upwindin waves
Except for those few times when youare able to ride a motorboat wake
coming from behind waves are neverhelpful when youre racing upwind Itsalways faster to sail in flatter water andthat should be your first rule of thumbon beats
Sailing fast in waves requires ateam effort that involves the drivertrimmers and the rest of the crew Youhave to look ahead for waves that arecoming shift gears and find the bestway to steer through them
There are three basic strategies fordealing with waves upwind You cansail directly through the waves steerover the waves or try to avoid thewaves More likely you will do somecombination of the above
Going straight through waves isusually the best option when the wavesare everywhere and too small to steeraround The bigger and heavier yourboat the more likely you are to takethis approach since its often impossibleor slow to turn your rudder for individ-ual waves
This is not a great option for biggerwaves but sometimes it is your onlychoice (eg when all the waves are bigand steep) In that case try to keep the
boat going a little faster than usual upthe beat The most costly mistake is tobe too slow when you hit a bad wave
Anticipation is important The keyto maintaining speed through badwaves is to shift gears before you get tothem That means you need enoughwarning to power up your sail planbefore the bow digs into the first wave
Steering over the waves is a goodidea when they are larger and spacedfarther apart and when going straightthrough them is slow The smaller andlighter your boat the more effectivethis is
The basic technique for sailingover waves is to head up on the frontside and bear off the back side In other

words luff toward the wind a little asyou go up the wave and then bear offaway from the wind as you go down theback side The steeper the wave and thefaster your speed over the waves themore sharply you will have to turn yourhelm and your boat
In boats that are light enough to beaffected by the positioning of crewweight combine the steering with arotational movement of your bodiesLean aft (and maybe in a little) as yougo up the wave Then lean out and for-ward as you go over the top and downthe back side
Avoiding waves is always the pre-ferred option This works well whenyou have identifiable areas of badwaves such as boat wakes or sets ofespecially large steep waves Sinceyou can never avoid all waves youmust use this in concert with otherways to sail through waves but thisstrategy should always be a part of yourupwind plan
The techniques that work best inwaves are often subtle enough that younever know how well they are workinguntil you measure your performanceagainst nearby boats So test your wavestrategy before the start and continue toevaluate it during the race If youre notfast change something and try again
Put your weight in the right places One of the reasons why waves make a boat gomore slowly is because they cause it to hobby-horse which disrupts the air flow around itssails and the water flow around its foils This isespecially harmful in lighter air
The main goal of positioning your weightin waves therefore should be to reduce hobby-horsing Keep your crew together as much aspossible and near the middle of the boat In lightair the ideal spot is right at the top of the keelsince that is the point around which the sailplan hull and foils pivot When conditions arebumpy and light its not unusual for crews to sitdown below on the cabin sole (in bigger boats)or to crouch down inside the cockpit (one-designs)This reduces the range of motion ofthe mast and keelcenterboard
In heavy air the crew cant be inside theboat of course Instead they should sit tightlytogether like the crew on the boat above Thefore-and-aft position of their weight depends onthe boat wind strength and wave shapeGenerally the crew should be at least slightlyfarther aft when its rough (than when its flatwith the same wind velocity) to keep the bowfrom plowing into waves
If youre racing upwind in waves and youthink your weight is positioned perfectly but youarent going fast try moving your crew a littlefarther apart Sometimes the boat doesnt clickwith the natural frequency of the wavesmdashbutdifferent crew spacing may improve this har-mony (and therefore your speed)
These waves are unusually large uniform and rounded on top so its not necessary tosteer around them very much The ideal course would be a gradual slight arc to windwardon the approaching face of the wave followed by a similar bearing off down the back side
How much to steer in wavesWhen youre sailing upwind waves will
always slow you down so you should avoidthem as much as possible (see below)However when you turn your rudder to steeraround waves the drag you create will alsomake you go slower Therefore you are alwayssearching for the optimal tradeoff betweenusing a lot of rudder and missing waves versususing less rudder and hitting waves
The only true way to judge whether youare doing a good (fast) job of this is by com-paring your performance to that of a nearbyboat Thats why its critical when you havewaves to train with another boat if possible andto tune up with a competitor before every raceWhile you are doing this try different steeringtechniques to see what is fastest in the unique
conditions that you have on any dayThe last thing you
want to do in awavy race is
to be look-ing for
the groove as you come off the starting line Several factors influence the tradeoff of
how aggressively you should steer (ie howquickly and how far you should turn the rud-der) Here are two important considerations
bull Size and shape of the waves - Are thewaves big small rounded or crested Howsteep and close together are they You donthave to steer much in small waves or even bigswells but medium-size waves can present atough challenge especially when theyre steepandor close together
bull Characteristics of your boat - Is yourboat large or small (relative to the waves) lightor heavy Does it turn easily Does it have anarrow bow that cuts easily through the wavesor a fat bow that slams into waves All thesefactors affect the tradeoff of hitting a wave ver-sus turning to miss it
One thing thats true for all boats andwaves is that when you turn the boat its bestto do this with as little rudder as possibleReduce drag by steering with sail trim and bodyweight For example use windward helm toallow the boat to carve its own turn to windwardon the front of the wave Then at the top of thewave hike out hard and ease the mainsheet ortraveler to help bear off down the back side Ifyou can turn the boat without so much dragthen the tradeoff moves in the direction of steer-ing to miss more waves

Waves are like snowflakes No twoare exactly the same and therefore
you have to treat each one as a unique anddifferent entity The same is true in thebig picturemdashevery sequence of wavesyou face during a race will be at least alittle different from anything you haveever seen before So you must continual-ly work at finding the optimal paththrough the waves you face
When you get to the race course it ishelpful to ask a few questions to under-stand the waves and how they will affectyour race
bull Are the waves perpendicular to thewind direction If the waves are flowingin the same direction as the wind thenyou will generally have symmetry fromtack to tack But If not you will need toset things up differently on each tack
bull Are you going faster or slower thanthe waves downwind Figure out if thewaves are helping you (ie theyre goingfaster than you) or hurting you (yourefaster than them) Also do surfing condi-tions exist This is key to knowing if youare allowed to pump your sails Here arefurther explanations of some of theseconcepts

Key wave conceptsby David Dellenbaugh
bull Whats causing the waves The sizeand shape of waves will depend onwhether they are caused by wind currentor boats You could have smooth swellsfrom a storm far away steep chop when astrong breeze blows over shallow wateror when current flows against the windor random chop from motorboats in aspectator fleet
bull Are the waves the normal size thatyou would expect for the wind velocityFor various reasons the waves might belarger or smaller than normal (see below)This could have huge implications forsteering trimming and sailing the boat
Check for wave asymmetry When youre racing upwind are the waves equal on each tack They are usually similar on port andstarboard tacks because waves are created by the wind and therefore they come from that directionHowever this is not always the case Sometimes the waves are not perpendicular to the wind andthis can have a huge impact on the way you sail your boat
There are several reasons why waves may be different from tack to tack bull Windshifts - If the waves are at first aligned with the wind any change in wind direction will
make them unaligned (at least for a while)This is very common bull Presence of nearby land - If there is land to windward of the course it could affect how waves
move across the racing area bull A distant storm -When youre racing on the ocean there are often swells coming from a direc-
tion thats very different from your sailing wind bull Cross-current - If you have a strong current that is not aligned with the wind it often creates
waves that arent square to the wind When you first start sailing in your race area check to see if the waves are the same on each
tack If not make the appropriate sail trim adjustments For example you will have to make your sailsfuller and more twisted on the bumpier tack (which goes more directly into the waves) On the other(smoother) tack you may be able to trim your sails much flatter and tighter You can point higher onthis tack too and keep your weight a little farther forward
There are also strategic implications of wave asymmetry For example if port tack is smootherit might mean the wind has shifted to the right When wave asymmetry is caused by a persistentwindshift its better to sail the smoother tack first since that will take you in the direction where thewind is shifting
Motorboat waves It would be hard to run most sailboat raceswithout motorboats but it sure would be nice ifwe could run them without motorboat wakesUnfortunately waves from motorboats are afact of life in most racing venues and the goodsailors simply figure out how to handle them
Motorboat waves differ from wind gener-ated waves in several important ways They areoften steeper and closer together (and thereforecan potentially hurt your speed much more)Boat waves typically hit you at strange angles(rather than straight with the wind) And fortu-nately they usually come and go pretty quickly
The first rule for maintaining speedthrough waves is to hit them at an angle(instead of head on)This is normally worthdoing even if it requires a significant alteration inthe course you have been sailing In fact it mayeven make sense to tack or jibe so big waveshit your stern rather than your bow
The second rule of thumb for motorboatwaves is to make sure you are going fast justbefore you hit them In other words be proac-tive by bearing off (or heading up on a run)easing (or trimming) your sails moving weightaft etc Dont wait until the first wave hits youbefore making these changes
As I mentioned above you ideally want tohit motorboat waves at an oblique angle andfully powered up But sometimes you cant doboth When the waves are coming at you paral-lel to the wind you have to make a choice Itsusually better to hit waves at an angle even ifyou have to pinch up and lose a little speedThis seems better than bearing off for speedand hitting the waves head on
Waves relative to windIn any wind velocity there is a certain size andshape of waves that you normally see with thatamount of wind In a five-knot breeze forexample the water surface should be almosttotally flat In 18 knots of wind however youexpect to see fairly good-sized waves withwhitecaps
But as every sailor knows you dontalways get normal sea conditions You mightsee bigger or smaller waves than whats typicalfor that wind velocity and this will affect howyou set up and sail your boat
When Im racing I categorize the wavestate in three general ways
1) Normal waves for the wind 2) Morewind than waves and 3) More waves thanwind Heres a closer look at each
More wind than waves This is almost always a fun condition for sailing(unless youre trying to do a windy jibe) Itsgreat (or painting and speed and makes stay-ing in the groove pretty easy
Here are several times when you are like-ly to see this condition
bull A building breezemdashthe breeze is up butthe waves havent had time to build yet
bull An offshore breezemdashthe water is flatteras you get closer to land because there is lessfetch for the waves to build
bull Current flowing with the wind When you have more wind than waves
you can trim your sails flatter and harder thanyou normally would in that breeze You shouldsail most boats as flat as possible and go formaximum height (pointing)
More waves than wind This is almost always a tough condition for sail-ing (unless you are sailing downwind withenough breeze to surf) It makes finding thegroove difficult and it quickly separates thegood sailors from the rest
You will typically see this condition withbull A dying breezemdashthe breeze always
changes faster than the wave state bull An onshore breezemdashwhen the wind is
blowing toward the shore it usually has a longfetch for the waves to build
bull Current flowing against the wind bull Lots of motorboat wakes (the worst) When you have more waves than wind be
careful about trimming too hard or pointing toohigh Err on the side of twist power and footingso you keep going fast

Watch for leeway caused by waves Waves make sailboats go up and down and they also push boats to leeward
The difference between the course you steer and the course you make goodthrough the water is your leeway angle The size of this angle is a result of
many factors such as heel angle wind velocity boat design and waveheight Though leeway for racing boats is usually not more than a few
degrees it will get slightly larger as the waves get bigger The main place where you will notice leeway is in relationto fixed objects like marks Your laylines are wider for
example in waves so you must allow a little extra distance before tacking
One place where its easyto see how much the waves pushyou to leeward is at the starting lineWhen boats attempt to luff in place on the line
they often slide much farther to leeward thanthey think Thats one reason why there
is often a significant line sag when thewaves are big
Go fast upwindin waves
Except for those few times when youare able to ride a motorboat wake
coming from behind waves are neverhelpful when youre racing upwind Itsalways faster to sail in flatter water andthat should be your first rule of thumbon beats
Sailing fast in waves requires ateam effort that involves the drivertrimmers and the rest of the crew Youhave to look ahead for waves that arecoming shift gears and find the bestway to steer through them
There are three basic strategies fordealing with waves upwind You cansail directly through the waves steerover the waves or try to avoid thewaves More likely you will do somecombination of the above
Going straight through waves isusually the best option when the wavesare everywhere and too small to steeraround The bigger and heavier yourboat the more likely you are to takethis approach since its often impossibleor slow to turn your rudder for individ-ual waves
This is not a great option for biggerwaves but sometimes it is your onlychoice (eg when all the waves are bigand steep) In that case try to keep the
boat going a little faster than usual upthe beat The most costly mistake is tobe too slow when you hit a bad wave
Anticipation is important The keyto maintaining speed through badwaves is to shift gears before you get tothem That means you need enoughwarning to power up your sail planbefore the bow digs into the first wave
Steering over the waves is a goodidea when they are larger and spacedfarther apart and when going straightthrough them is slow The smaller andlighter your boat the more effectivethis is
The basic technique for sailingover waves is to head up on the frontside and bear off the back side In other

words luff toward the wind a little asyou go up the wave and then bear offaway from the wind as you go down theback side The steeper the wave and thefaster your speed over the waves themore sharply you will have to turn yourhelm and your boat
In boats that are light enough to beaffected by the positioning of crewweight combine the steering with arotational movement of your bodiesLean aft (and maybe in a little) as yougo up the wave Then lean out and for-ward as you go over the top and downthe back side
Avoiding waves is always the pre-ferred option This works well whenyou have identifiable areas of badwaves such as boat wakes or sets ofespecially large steep waves Sinceyou can never avoid all waves youmust use this in concert with otherways to sail through waves but thisstrategy should always be a part of yourupwind plan
The techniques that work best inwaves are often subtle enough that younever know how well they are workinguntil you measure your performanceagainst nearby boats So test your wavestrategy before the start and continue toevaluate it during the race If youre notfast change something and try again
Put your weight in the right places One of the reasons why waves make a boat gomore slowly is because they cause it to hobby-horse which disrupts the air flow around itssails and the water flow around its foils This isespecially harmful in lighter air
The main goal of positioning your weightin waves therefore should be to reduce hobby-horsing Keep your crew together as much aspossible and near the middle of the boat In lightair the ideal spot is right at the top of the keelsince that is the point around which the sailplan hull and foils pivot When conditions arebumpy and light its not unusual for crews to sitdown below on the cabin sole (in bigger boats)or to crouch down inside the cockpit (one-designs)This reduces the range of motion ofthe mast and keelcenterboard
In heavy air the crew cant be inside theboat of course Instead they should sit tightlytogether like the crew on the boat above Thefore-and-aft position of their weight depends onthe boat wind strength and wave shapeGenerally the crew should be at least slightlyfarther aft when its rough (than when its flatwith the same wind velocity) to keep the bowfrom plowing into waves
If youre racing upwind in waves and youthink your weight is positioned perfectly but youarent going fast try moving your crew a littlefarther apart Sometimes the boat doesnt clickwith the natural frequency of the wavesmdashbutdifferent crew spacing may improve this har-mony (and therefore your speed)
These waves are unusually large uniform and rounded on top so its not necessary tosteer around them very much The ideal course would be a gradual slight arc to windwardon the approaching face of the wave followed by a similar bearing off down the back side
How much to steer in wavesWhen youre sailing upwind waves will
always slow you down so you should avoidthem as much as possible (see below)However when you turn your rudder to steeraround waves the drag you create will alsomake you go slower Therefore you are alwayssearching for the optimal tradeoff betweenusing a lot of rudder and missing waves versususing less rudder and hitting waves
The only true way to judge whether youare doing a good (fast) job of this is by com-paring your performance to that of a nearbyboat Thats why its critical when you havewaves to train with another boat if possible andto tune up with a competitor before every raceWhile you are doing this try different steeringtechniques to see what is fastest in the unique
conditions that you have on any dayThe last thing you
want to do in awavy race is
to be look-ing for
the groove as you come off the starting line Several factors influence the tradeoff of
how aggressively you should steer (ie howquickly and how far you should turn the rud-der) Here are two important considerations
bull Size and shape of the waves - Are thewaves big small rounded or crested Howsteep and close together are they You donthave to steer much in small waves or even bigswells but medium-size waves can present atough challenge especially when theyre steepandor close together
bull Characteristics of your boat - Is yourboat large or small (relative to the waves) lightor heavy Does it turn easily Does it have anarrow bow that cuts easily through the wavesor a fat bow that slams into waves All thesefactors affect the tradeoff of hitting a wave ver-sus turning to miss it
One thing thats true for all boats andwaves is that when you turn the boat its bestto do this with as little rudder as possibleReduce drag by steering with sail trim and bodyweight For example use windward helm toallow the boat to carve its own turn to windwardon the front of the wave Then at the top of thewave hike out hard and ease the mainsheet ortraveler to help bear off down the back side Ifyou can turn the boat without so much dragthen the tradeoff moves in the direction of steer-ing to miss more waves

bull Size and shape of the waves - Are thewaves big small rounded or crested Howsteep and close together are they You donthave to steer much in small waves or even bigswells but medium-size waves can present atough challenge especially when theyre steepandor close together
bull Characteristics of your boat - Is yourboat large or small (relative to the waves) lightor heavy Does it turn easily Does it have anarrow bow that cuts easily through the wavesor a fat bow that slams into waves All thesefactors affect the tradeoff of hitting a wave ver-sus turning to miss it
One thing thats true for all boats andwaves is that when you turn the boat its bestto do this with as little rudder as possibleReduce drag by steering with sail trim and bodyweight For example use windward helm toallow the boat to carve its own turn to windwardon the front of the wave Then at the top of thewave hike out hard and ease the mainsheet ortraveler to help bear off down the back side Ifyou can turn the boat without so much dragthen the tradeoff moves in the direction of steer-ing to miss more waves
