Cullman '13 talks sailing career

21.05.12

Q The team has moved up to the number one spot nationally this season. What is your most memorable race this year so far and why?

A My most memorable race this year was actually this past weekend, when the team participated in the Boston Dinghy Cup. This race was the first time I sailed in the A division. Genoa Warner ’13 crewed for me, and we were able to get second, even against schools like Harvard, Dartmouth and Brown, among the 18 schools that participated. It was an amazing feeling to compete in a higher division and still find such success.

Q How has the sailing team changed or evolved since your freshman year?

A The sailing team hasn’t changed very much. We’ve had the same coaches, but as people graduate, the feeling of the team does change. For example, Thomas Barrows ’10, who served as captain for two years, was a great leader and had a big influence on team in a positive way. It was hard when he left, but we’ve had other amazing sailors come in. Our team philosophy is still the same: There is always more work to do, and we always work hard to improve.

Dinghy Sailing with the Canadian Yachting Association

by searay340

White Sail Level I - Section 1 covers safety with a look at lifejackets, actions to be followed immediately after a capsize and how to right a capsized boat. And the required items for a sailboat less than 5.5 meters long as outlined in the current Boating Safety Guide. Section 2 is Seamanship, Candidates must be able to tie 4 knots within a certain time and describe their uses. And describe four ways to identify from what direction the wind is blowing. Section three deals with preparation to sail including coiling a line correctly, making a line fast to a cleat and getting in and out of a boat safely at a dock or mooring. Section 4 looks at rigging, attaching sails, rigging sheets and halyards, fitting sail battens and the rudder and tiller, adjusting the centerboard and hoisting sails. Section 5 covers boat handling, firstly identifying the direction of the wind then while underway to keeping the sail just on the point of luffing while on a reach, keeping a boat going in a straight line on a reach for at least two minutes and righting a capsized boat and clearing it of water. The final section deals with securing and derigging, securing by the bow only, by the bow and stern and at a single mooring, in each case using the appropriate size line and knot, and leaving an appropriate length of line. Derigging the boat by lowering and removing the sails, removing and stowing the rudder and tiller, and properly securing the boom and centerboard. Folding and bagging a loose sail. And finally securing all gear in the boat upon completion of sailing. On the completion of White Sail I, the sailor will be able to perform the afore mentioned tasks in wind speeds of 4-9 knots where applicable.
