Submit A Special Request Olympic Sports History SAILING This sport was known as yachting until 2000, when the name was officially changed. When it became an Olympic sport in 1900, the boats really were yachts, large boats with as many as 10 crew members. Over the years, though, the big yachts were gradually replaced by smaller, one-design sailboats that put the premium on the skill of the sailors rather than the inherent speed of the vessel. Results were determined by a series of seven races from 1936 to 1988. In 1992, the Soling class had six round robin races leading up to match races based on the round robin standings, and Sail boarding had a series of 10 races. All classes except Soling went to an 11-race series in 1996. The Soling competition consisted of 10 round robin races that year. In 2000, there were 16 races for the 49er class. Two different point systems have been used. In the simplest system, each boat is given points equivalent to its placing in a race; that is, 1 point for first place, 2 points for second, and so forth. From 1968 and 1992, negative points were awarded, based on the following scale: First place, 0; Second, 3; Third, 5.7; Fourth, 8; Fifth, 10; Sixth, 11.7; Seventh, 13. One point was added for each subsequent place below seventh. Through 1984, all classes were open to men and women. In 1988, separate men's and women's competitions were added in some events, while others remain open to either sex.

A Yachting Team has been sent to every Olympic Games thereafter, with the exception of 1980 when no U.S. Teams attended the boycotted Games in Russia. The U.S. won its first Olympic Yachting medals at the 1932 Games in Los Angeles, taking gold in the Star and 8 Meter classes, and silver in the 6 Meter class. The U.S. is the undisputed leader in Olympic Yachting, with a total medal record of 58. 23 of the U.S. medals have been won over the last four Olympiads. In 1948 Hilary and Paul Smart were the first father and son in the same sport to win Olympic gold. In 1984 Bill and Carl Buchan (father and son) were gold medal winners in different classes (Star and Flying Dutchman). In 1984 Bill Buchan, at age 49, was the oldest member of the U.S. Olympic Team.

Sadly, it is and possibly always will be little understood. Like all small craft sailing classes, the best informed spectators are the competitors. It has taken twenty years of two steps forward and one back for Olympic Boardsailing to get to the level it is now. As a consequence of the Olympic Boardsailing Class's current achievements, governments are allocating a lot of funding towards growing the sport. The current Olympic Class is a great asset to the sport of windsurfing. Let's look after it and keep the current Olympic Class for at least another Olympiad.

Back in the early eighties, SPA looked for an opportunity to transfer its image from a drink associated with illness to a drink placed in the leisure atmosphere and the sportive/free time surroundings. SPA decided to associate its natural products with the natural elements of sailing. That is why SPA decided to sponsor the Royal Dutch Watersport Union ( KNWV ), to become main sponsor of the Dutch Olympic Sailing Team and title sponsor of the new (to be created) event: SPA Regatta. This sponsorship provided SPA with the best possible marketing tools to achieve the desired image transfer. The federation provided the necessary authority, the Olympic sailing team the desired quality-exposure and the SPA Regatta the yearly platform for action-marketing, hospitality management and a yearly climax of all sailing activities translated in an international event in which all Olympic-, World- and European- and national champions take part. Some highlights After seventeen successful editions of the SPA Regatta, there are many highlights to mention. The Olympic Sailing Regatta is well-known for the various introduced innovations that were subsequently taken over by the International Sailing Federation.

The SPA Regatta is well-known for various introduced innovations that were subsequently adopted by the International Sailing Federation (ISAF, formally known as the IYRU). Examples are: separate classes for women (470 and Mistral); prize money; shorter courses that resulted in more races; coloured spots to identify leading competitors. Historical facts In the first edition of the SPA Regatta the surfboard class Division II (M) was introduced as an Olympic class. The Division II (M) succeeded the Wind glider, the first surfboard to make its debut on the 1984 Olympics. The Soling Class could not compete in the first SPA Regatta, due to the European Championships which took place in the same weekend.

Mike Horn, Harvard Sailing's coach from 1965 to 1997, should receive the most credit for producing some of Harvard's best sailors, and paving the way for it to produce many more. Mike first sailed at Harvard as a student - class of '63. A distinguished sailor, he was inducted into the Harvard Varsity Club Hall of Fame in 1991 along with teammate Carter Ford. Barbara Grant '73 and Janice Stroud '73 Both these women set standards for women's sailing. Barbara Grant was an A-division skipper in three consecutive National Dinghy Championships, and helped Radcliffe to it's 1972 win at Nationals. Although All-American status was not available to women during her career, she was one of the first women selected to the ICSA Hall of Fame. Perhaps Janice's greatest accomplishment was her performance at the 1972 National Dinghy Championships. Mike Horn stated that her record "simply will never be equaled - 12 firsts and two seconds in 14 races, winning the division by 34 points." Along with Grant, Janice was one of the first women selected to the ICSA Hall of Fame.

Competitve Sailing Canadian Sailing Team Youth Events ... About the CYA Contact Us Canadian Olympic Sailing Team History In the spring of 1924 a group of yachtsmen from the Yacht Racing Association of Lake Ontario decided to hold a special competition. The purpose of the event was to select a sailor who could represent Canada at the Olympics in Paris that summer. This was the beginning of Canada's Olympic sailing effort. While sailing had been an official part of Olympic competition since 1912, it was not until 1924 that Canada entered a team. Under the auspices of the Royal Canadian Yacht Club of Toronto, a committee conducted trials in the grey, still-frigid waters of Lake Ontario. The trials consisted of four series with ten competitors form five clubs taking part. Eventually, Norman Robertson of Hamilton emerged to win the finals and the right to go to Paris and represent Canada in the single-handed class. Racing on the Seine at Meulan that July, Robertson finished seventh out of 17 nations in each of the two series that formed the basis of competition. It was a respectable first outing, but not surprisingly, he was eliminated from medal contention. Far more important than his standing, though, was the fact that Robertson's effort had finally broken the ice and Canada had officially entered the world of Olympic sailing. While the name of Norman Robertson will always stand in the annals of Canadian yachting as our first Olympic sailor, Canada's first team effort dates to the 1932 Olympics in Los Angeles. It was in that year that the Canadian Yachting Association (CYA) was formed and, under its aegis and inspiration, Canada sent crews to compete in the Six Metre, Eight Metre, Star and Olympic Monotype classes. Fleets in those pre-war years were considerably smaller than today's and it was only in the Star and Monotype classes that a truly international field competed. H.E. Wylie was Canada's Star skipper and Reg Dixon sailed the single-handed Snowbird dinghy. Wylie's final standing was fourth out of seven boats and Dixon's placed fifth out of 11. For an Association barely off the ground, these results were more than simply creditable.

History - A Brief History Past Winners 1999 Website A Brief History The Volvo Youth Sailing ISAF World Championship has been staged at different venues around the globe, ranging from New Zealand and Australia in the Southern Hemisphere (1983 and 1987 respectively) to Greece (1994) through to Cape Town (1998) and Finland (1999). The 2000 event to be held in Sydney is the thirtieth running of the championship. There have been a number of changes over the years, ranging from an increase in competitor numbers different boats and most significantly in 1990, classes for girls. Over the years the way the event is managed on and off the water has changed significantly, often leading other major events, including the Olympic Games. One of the key people behind those changes, who helped transform the stature of the event from a yearly gathering attended by only a selected few nations in the early eighties, to the professionally managed and well structured international regatta it is today was Briton, John Barker. Seeing the potential of the event to become a truly significant world regatta, Barker, a former Rear Admiral in the Royal Navy and one of the key figures behind the British effort in the Falklands conflict, became a pivotal force in transforming the face of what was then the IYRU Youth Worlds. He remained a champion of the event and Chairman of the ISAF Youth Sailing Committee until ill health forced his retirement in 1998. Coming into the organisation of the event in 1987 Admiral Barker was a driving force in the introduction of sponsorship and, in 1991, the use of short course racing with a two races per day format, only introduced at the Olympic Games for the first time in Savannah in 1996.

HAMBLE RIVER SAILING CLUB - HOME HISTORY CADETS WINTER SERIES ... CONTACT THE CLUB Click on "News" above for the latest headlines. A History of Hamble Village History Looking downriver from the Foreshore Car Park towards the mouth of the river the low brick building at the southern end of the Parish Dinghy Park is the present clubhouse of Hamble River Sailing Club As the oldest surviving sailing club in the village Hamble River Sailing Club was originally founded in August 1919 by a group of seven Hamble men "to encourage the sport of small boat sailing and racing". They were determined that the club would provide sailing opportunities for all those who lived and worked in all the Parishes along the banks of the Hamble River. This included the many men who worked on the yachts as paid hands and were considered as professional sailors and therefore excluded from participating in many sailing races. No present day profile of the club can be written without reference to the events and personalities of the past 78 years. At first there was no clubhouse just a wooden storage hut in the kitchen garden of the "Bugle Inn". 'Apres-sail' was held in Quay House, home of founder member Gregory Robinson, and now part of the Royal Southern Y. C. clubhouse. Races were held throughout each summer on Wednesday evenings and Saturday afternoons, a tradition that is still kept today. The first handicap system recorded shows the winners were given a time penalty in their next race. Prize money was awarded and this was deducted from the race fees at the end of the season. The most successful helmsmen sometimes ended the season a pound or two richer.
