An amazing number of Lido 14s made their way to Eugene, Oregon, to sail on Fern Ridge Reservoir in the class� annual Championship event. There were 46 boats in all � 23 in the Gold Fleet, and 23 in the Silver Fleet. This made for quite a site on this great sailing lake, and for lots of fun ashore.

At the end of three days of intense racing, Stu Robertson and crew Erin Frederickson took home the Gold. Stu won the Championships in 1975 and has been at the top of the class, working hard to win ever since. He couldn�t have been more excited! Second place honors went to Mark Gaudio and John Papadopoulos, and third went to Freddie and Fred Stevens. The winners of the Silver Fleet were Ron and Nicole Runyan.

Golison, Washburn and Washburn Wins 2004 Santana 20 National Champs

August 12 � 15, 2004

After a handful of attempts and many close finishes in past championships, Bruce Gollison, along with crew Steve and Stevie Washburn, walked away with the grand prize in this year�s Santana 20 National Championships. The event was sailed inside the breakwater at Long Beach, where the conditions are ideal for Santana 20 sailing. The wind blows consistently from 8 to 15 knots, and the water is smooth and unobstructed.

The regatta was hosted by the Alamitos Bay Yacht Club and was a highly competitive event for the class. Twenty-eight Santana 20s sailed the eight race one throw out series, with no one winning more than two races. Going into the last race, four boats had a legitimate shot at winning the championship. 

Showing the most consistency during the regatta, Bruce Golison threw out a 5^th place to end the series with 18 points. Chris Winnard and his team aboard Disaster Area and Willem Van Waay aboard Head First each had 20 points, and Payson Infelise finished with a total of 26 points.

Santana 20 One Design and PHRF Seminar 

Anacortes, Washington

October 16, 2004

What started out to be a day of rain and overcast skies turned out to be a glorious NW autumn day on the water for the participants in this inaugural one design and PHRF seminar. The seminar was jointly sponsored by the local Schock dealer, Steve Orsini of One Design Plus, and the Santana 20 class association.

The group met at Anacortes Yacht Club, and began the day with an early morning discussion on boat speed and tactics. The coach for the seminar was Andrew Kerr, a regular crew aboard a Santana 20 that has won several championships. Andrew is also a terrific, very professional sailing coach..

 After the morning classroom discussion, the group adjourned to the dock to look at rigging and boat handling techniques. The rest of the day was spent on the water, with the fleet participating in numerous starts and short course races as well as practicing mark roundings. The starts got more and more competitive as the teams got more and more into the racing! After the sailing, everyone gathered back at the yacht club to review an on-the-water video and to review the day.

Santana 22 Wins Big in San Francisco Bay

October 16, 2004

The YRA Champion of Champions regatta is an annual event that pits class winners against one another in a one day, three race PHRF handicap regatta. For the past few years, it has been run out of the Golden Gate Yacht Club on the San Francisco City Front.

This year�s event was won by Michael Andrews and his crew aboard Santana 22 #811. This is one of the new models and is really, really fast. Michael won the 2003 event with finishes of 1 � 2 � 5. This year, they won all three races! In fact, in two of the three races, the little Santana 22 beat the Cal 29 and the Newport 30 boat-for-boat. And in one of the races, they crossed the finish line ahead of the Catalina 30 as well. Not bad for a �little Tuna�!

The wind for the regatta was variable in both strength and direction, which goes to show that the Santana 22 performs well in all conditions. Aside from sailing a great boat, the skipper attributed his win to his team�s ability �to react faster and more efficiently than most to the shifts in direction.�

Results:

Santana 22        Bonito               Michael Andrews           3 points

Olson 25           Vivace              Larry/Frank Nelson         8 points

Merit 25            Loose Lips        Phil Mai                        11 points

Catalina 30        Starkite             Laurie Miller                   13 points

Cal 29               Bluejacket         Bill O�Connor                 14 points

Newport 30        Harry                 Richard Aronoff              14 points

Harbor 20 Fun in San Diego

October 16 & 17, 2004

Harbor 20 Fleet 2 in San Diego is now fully organized and has established a terrific calendar of events. Five of Fleet 2�s members participated in Coronado Yacht Club�s Fall One Design Regatta, with Bill Fallon and his son Matt taking top fleet honors. 

After the skipper�s meeting, the fleet (comprised of Hobie 16s, Thistles, an impressive fleet of Santana 20s, and Harbor 20s) headed out to the starting line in flat calm conditions. The Harbor 20s, rather smugly, made their way under auxiliary power, while the others rowed or grabbed a tow. Fortunately, a breeze moved in about a half hour after the scheduled �noon start�, and the race committee kicked the regatta into gear. Checking out the starting line were Harbor 20 sailors Mort Carlile and Larry Rice on Mischief III, Mike Hardisty and Graeme on �Bout Time, Jack Cahill and crew on Andante, Peter McRae and Steve Streiffer on Lucky Lady, and Bill and Matt Fallon on Todo Azul.

Santana 525 Wins Marina Del Rey to San Diego Race

July 2 & 3, 2004

Arizona sailor Michael Parker and his team aboard the Santana 525 Anthem took first place honors in an exciting race from Marina del Rey to San Diego. This achievement was all the more exciting because it was the third time Michael had sailed the boat, the first time he had sailed in the ocean, and the first time he had sailed overnight. It was also the first time he had flown a spinnaker, and his crew had even less experience.

This popular �down hill� Southern California race is co-sponsored by the Santa Monica Windjammers Y.C. and the Southwest Yacht Club in San Diego. The race started at 10 a.m. Saturday, July 2, and the Santana 525 finished on Sunday at 3:56 p.m. They were first to finish in their class and corrected out to receive the 1^st place trophy for Class CRZS-B. For a team accustomed to sailing on Lake Pleasant, this was quite a thrill! 

PHRF-B was also won by a Schock boat � White Fang, a Schock 35 sailed by Don Adams. Congratulations to Michael Parker and his team from Arizona and to Don Adams and his gang from Santa Monica Windjammers.

Schock 40 #1, which was originally launched in San Francisco for test sailing and then went to Acapulco, is back in San Francisco. Alfonso Sosa Cordero and Matt Brown drove to Acapulco in June, put the boat behind Alfonso�s pick up, and headed north. They climbed 10,000 feet into the Sierra Madre Mountains near Mexico City and then dropped down to Mazatlan. They loaded the boat onto a car ferry and crossed the Sea of Cortez to La Paz. 

The drive from there up the Baja coast to San Diego was incredible � narrow winding roads and harrowing near misses. The four day trip over 2,500 non-freeway miles was an experience of a lifetime.  Below are two photos of their excursion.

Early Summer 2004

Schock 40 #9 Mad Dog, owned and skippered by Ed Feo of Long Beach, has placed in every event it has raced to date. They were second in PHRF-A in Cal Yacht Club�s Cal Cup, a five-race series sailed out of Marina del Rey. The TP-52 Margaritaville was first, Mad Dog was second, and Black Knight, a Farr 39 was third.

Mad Dog�s next event was North Sails Race Week June 25 � 27. For twenty years, this regatta has been one of the premier racing events in Southern California. It is sailed inside the Long Beach Harbor breakwater and has been organized by a team of expert regatta managers put together by Bruce Golison. The conditions are typically perfect � 8 to 12 knots in the morning, 18 knots true in the afternoon. Schock 40s have trophied every year since 2001. Unfortunately, the Golisons have decided not to have another race in Long Beach next year.

Unfortunately, they shrimped the kite and fell back to ninth place. The races after that looked much better. Their 3 � 4 � 3 � 1 � 7 series put them in third place for the regatta. First place class honors went to Arana, a Choate 51. Second went to Chance, a very well-sailed Farr 395 from San Francisco, with a (shall we say) favorable rating.

July 24, 2004

The Chicago Yacht Club�s Race to Mackinac is typically sailed in pretty warm, fluky weather conditions. But this year a cold northeasterly breeze put the fleet on the wind for most of the race. Ron Nolan and his crew aboard J Swift (S40 #5) sailed on starboard tack hard on the wind for about 32 hours without a single sail change. Winds ranged from 10 to 12 knots.

August 7 � 14, 2004

Cowes Week, which is held each year on the Solent off the Isle of Wight in England, is one of the most amazing sailing events on Planet Earth. This year�s regatta drew over 950 entries and thousands and thousands of racers and spectators. There were about 25 one-design classes ranging from the wooden X Boats (built in the early 1900s) to Etchells and Dragons, a new RS Elite 24 ft. keelboat, and a class of medium-sized multihulls. Sunsail even chartered fleets of their 36s and 37s. And there was every offshore boat imaginable. Schock 40 #10, with owner Iain Hall coordinating the effort, sailed as a member of the Skandia Team, having been recognized by the regatta sponsor for its contribution to the sport of sailing.

During eight continuous days of racing, wind conditions ranged from zero knots to 35. The current ran up to four knots. And the weather went from hot to cold and back again. As the saying goes, if you don�t like the weather, just wait.

There is one race per day for each fleet, no matter what the conditions. To even things out, the overall regatta scores are based on six of the eight races. Because the individual boats don�t necessarily enter all of the races, the number of boats in our class varied from 20 to 35 starters. And there was no predicting how many would finish. The boats in our class ranged in size from a Swan 65 to a 35 footer. Our races were from 25 to 35 miles in length; and of the 99 marks on the race course, we rounded a minimum of 10 buoys and up to 19 in a single race. Through all of this we had to safely maneuver around the Brambles (a large shallow spot in the middle), the bricks (or rocks) scattered here and there, and big globs of black weed floating just below the surface. It wasn�t unusual to see boats high and dry; and we had to back down three times in one race to shed the weeds. Because of the extreme currents, anchoring at a mark in order to keep from getting flushed off the race course was common. We anchored at the windward mark one day in zero knots and a cold drizzle. The next day, we anchored at the leeward mark in 80 degrees, with sunshine and no wind. Twenty-five degree wind shifts were not uncommon.  

The courses and conditions put a real demand on navigation, local knowledge, and crew work. Although it is buoy racing, it is nothing like the typical windward leeward races we are accustomed to. The teams that have sailed this event on a regular basis have an enormous advantage. And winning doesn�t come easily. Needless to say, all of this was a huge challenge for the brand new Schock 40 and its uninitiated Cowes Week crew. We put the boat in the water the week before the regatta, hoping to get in five days of practice. Unfortunately, the practice days dwindled to two as we scrambled to complete the commissioning of the boat. The biggest lesson learned was that it isn�t real smart to take a new boat straight from the boat yard to the race course.

Although our score was really disappointing, we felt the boat performed really well. With Dave Ullman at the helm, we got really good starts, and the crew worked well as a team. It seemed, though, that we were up against a rating that makes it nearly impossible to win. We had a good, competitive rating when we started the project. But this all changed in the wake of Wild Oat�s amazing success. For now, the canting ballast factor in the IRC rating formula is a difficult factor to rise above. We sailed boat-for-boat with the two DK46s and a IMX45 � big powerful boats that are especially efficient upwind. The Schock 40 was faster downwind, but the way the rating went, we had to give them time. The rating factor is bound to change with time.

All in all, Cowes Week was an incredible experience. The Schock 40 will be a real threat with a little more time on the water.

A Great Event for Lightning

August 20 � 22, 2004

This three-day series of races around the buoys is a huge event and draws the best, most serious Great Lakes racers. Lightning, the Schock 40 prototype, with its partnership of relatively new but extremely competitive Polish sailors, took third place. They are ecstatic!

Harbor 20 �Stars and Stripes� Regatta 

June 19, 2004

Twenty-seven Harbor 20s participated in the second annual �Stars & Stripes Regatta�, which is hosted each year by the Newport Harbor Nautical Museum in Newport Beach. The fleet was divided into three groups: A�s, B�s and Novice.  The course, designed with FUN in mind, went down through the bay, out around the harbor entrance bell buoy, and back to the finish line in front of the Nautical Museum. By holding the start and finish off the Nautical Museum, racing sailing became much more of a spectator sport that day.

In the A Fleet, after a good start, the team of Jamie Douglas and Mark Gaudio stretched their lead on every leg to finish first with a comfortable margin. Jim Kerrigan, last year�s winner, sailed single-handed to take second; and the team of Bob and Ellie Yates followed closely to finish third. A very special award went to Win and Carlita Fuller�s team. They sailed with EIGHT crew members, towed a toy, and sang a rendition of John Phillips Sousa to everyone�s delight as they crossed the finish line. And as a first in Harbor 20 sailing annals, the team of Lenore Collins and Suzanne Spangler sailed with Suzanne�s three month old daughter sitting happily in a car seat amidships � a �horizon job� for winning the award for the youngest crew.

The B Fleet started almost ten minutes after the A Fleet; and the B leaders actually caught up and passed one or two of the A�s. Helen and Warren Duncan were first to finish, with an additional distinction of winning the award for the first woman skipper. Jim and Marion Jordan were second, and third place went to the team skippered by Kathy Brittingham who had not raced since her Sabot days over 35 years ago. Her team had five crew members that included three generations of coaching help. In the Novice Fleet, Skipper Durow won the first place in the first race he had ever sailed.

The Harbor 20s headed back to their own docks immediately after the finish, and then returned to the museum for cocktails, trophies and dinner. The third level Texas Deck room was ideal for the party; the food was excellent and abundant.  Glenn Zegoren presented the trophies. And every skipper not already a member of the Nautical Museum

became one that day as a part of the entry fee. The event ended with all looking forward to the day, the race and the party upcoming next year.

From Docile �Dandelion� to �Mad Dog�

S40 #9 PLACES SECOND IN CAL RACE WEEK

Schock 40 #9, originally Dandelion sailed out of Santa Barbara, has a new owner and a new name. The new owner is Ed Feo of Alamitos Bay Yacht Club. The new name is Mad Dog.

With Ed at the helm, Tom Schock calling tactics, and much of SchockaZulu�s old crew on board, Mad Dog placed second in PHRF A in California Yacht Club�s Cal Race Week June 5 & 6. The regatta was sailed in light and extremely shifty conditions � conditions not particularly favorable for the lightest, smallest boat in the class. Saturday�s racing saw huge velocity differences, and 30 degree shifts were not uncommon. The wind never got above 7 knots, so Mad Dog hardly ever moved its ballast off center. Sunday�s conditions were a little nicer, but the wind still stayed under 10 knots.

The winner of the PH A fleet was the new Transpac 52 Margaritaville designed by Allen Andrews. With a rating of -63 she cleared the race course too fast to have much effect on the rest of the fleet, but it is really too bad they could not have raced in a separate class of negative-rated boats. Once she cleared the starting area, there was a really good race among the other �little� positive-rated boats.

Mad Dog�s toughest competition was Black Knight, a Farr 39 skippered by Bill Friedman. Dave Ullman was tactician. The Schock 40 was also up against Tera�s X, a J/N ILC 40, which was designed specifically for the windward/leeward courses sailed in this regatta. Bull, the Sydney Harbor 40 GP that was the overall winner on corrected time for the 2001 Transpac, was also part of the A fleet. They apparently found the conditions a bit too challenging. Cincos, the Schock 40 owned by Christian Morris had pretty rough regatta too.

An interesting note:  Mad Dog sailed with the Schock 40�s normal buoy racing crew of seven guys on Saturday; and on Sunday there were six guy�s plus Steve Schock�s thirteen year old daughter Catherine. We handled the tricky conditions with no problem, and Catherine was a great �sewer� tender. Black Knight and Tera�s XL had ten or more, and Margaritaville had 15 to 18 crew on board. It is so great not to have to feed a herd!

WD Schock Memorial 2004

Newport Harbor Yacht Club

2004 W. D. SCHOCK MEMORIAL REGATTA

March 5 - 7

Seventy-nine boats competed in seven classes in the seventh annual W. D. Schock Memorial Regatta held at the Newport Harbor Yacht Club March 5 - 7. Seven was definitely a lucky number! The weather was terrific, the wind was perfect, and everyone had a fabulous time.

Regatta Chairman Steve Schupak added a Friday afternoon Bay Championship Series to the list of events this year, starting what may become a wild and crazy tradition. It was billed as a randomly scored series of races in the bay, open to all classes. Small jibs and spinnakers were specified for the Santana 20s, Santana 30/30s, and Schock 35s. The other classes could sail whatever they liked. Scoring of this two-race Friday afternoon series was based on a combined criteria of style, position, crew attire and other factors known only to the judges. Best dressed was hard to choose � a toss up between John Papadopoulos and Mark Gaudio in their cow costumes (yes, cow costumes) and Denise Murschel and LeeAnne Bale-Fish, our sun-deprived Lido 14 sailors from Eugene. Most folks were somewhat clear when the start signal sounded, the line was sort of square, downwind finishes were the norm, and the bay was mostly deep enough for the 35s to get around. Everyone definitely had a great time.

For the more serious racing on Saturday and Sunday, conditions could not have been more perfect. The wind was an ideal 8 � 10 knots out of the west on Saturday, affording everyone the chance to work on boat speed and settle into the groove. Sunday was a little more challenging, with the wind battling between northerly Santana conditions and a westerly sea breeze. This made tactics and crew work more critical, especially early in the day. Just to be sure everyone would go home happy, the wind settled into a beautiful 10 � 13 knot westerly for the last race.

Congratulations to the top finishers in each class �

In early January, Schock 40 #10 was put into production for Iain Hall of the Channel Islands in the U.K. It will have a stunning black hull, a full inventory of Ullman sails, and a skipper eager to go fast.

When asked about his sailing background, Iain told us that his parents started the first sailing school in the UK after WW2. His father ran a boat yard and was an RORC Class 1 champion. Iain was given a sailing dinghy �as a christening present�, and he sailed the Atlantic with his family when he was just four. This new Schock 40 owner reports: �I rowed and sailed long before I could ride a bicycle, and raced International Cadets from eight years old.� He participated in team racing in school, read Naval Architecture at University, and taught sailing during vacations. He has raced Cherubs, Fireballs, Lasers and a Flying Dutchman at levels from club to European and World championships.

After some time away from racing, Iain went back to racing about two years ago, entering his family cruising boat (a Trintella 51A) in a number of local events. All of the races were light wind � not a pretty picture in a boat displacing 50,000 pounds or more. Somewhere along the racecourse, he vowed to go to the opposite end of the performance spectrum. After seeing articles on the internet and in print, he launched a thorough research and selected the Schock 40. 

Key West 2004 Race Week

An email from Lydia King-Rayner, who sailed her Wavelength 24 to a second place finish in PHRF 11.

What a thrill it was to take two beautiful Wavelength 24s � �Outtasight" and "Outtamind � to Key West. Just seeing them make their way down the interstate to Key West was outtasight. Then to meet the greatest bunch of sailor's was equally electrifying.

More than 3,000 sailors from across the continent and around the world traveled to Key West. The B&B Cypress House was represented by 5 countries. The hospitality was great. Every morning we awoke to fresh baked goods; and every afternoon food and drink on the deck. One of the boats treated us to three-hour old King Mackrel. While racing, the 25 pound fish jumped in

their boat. "Mad Max" Jerry Carney threw a Sushi party the following evening. "Outtasight" brought La. Gumbo for the first night, and Spicy beer Chili for the second night. The crew from Italy made several trips to the kitchen for the Gumbo.

 Old Sailor friends converged and exchanged tales of racing. The popularity of racing in Key West has spread around the world. Sailor's traveled from Europe, Australia and the Far East.

Division 1 was made up of 44 boats. Handicap boats competing in Divisions 2 and 4 made up 40 percent of the total entries. Division 3 had more than 100 boats on 3-4 square miles of ocean. Division 4 had 78 boats divided up into 5 handicap and 3 one design classes. A total of 301 sailboats made their way over the waters off Key West. All four divisions got in two races each day and the last day one race. Race 1 was sailed in a 7-10 knot southwesterly, which grew to 13-15 knots. On Wednesday Sam Vasquez had "Outtasight" in second place in PHRF 11. "We were two points behind J/30 "Circus". The morning race was a really tight one, with �Outtasight� two seconds behind "Circus�. It was heavy air, so they had the advantage.

What a week! "Outtasight� was thrilled to accept a beautiful cut glass crystal piece for 2nd overall in our class. And I might say, two of our crew members walked away with an overall 1st and 2nd in the Knot and Shot feat at Schooners Bar. I can't tell all of you what a downer it was to pack up the boats and head North.

Matt Patterson Wins Wavelength 24 Championships

Seven Schock-built Wavelength 24s headed for Florida February 13, 14 and 15 and turned the St. Pete NOOD Regatta into their 2004 Class Championships. Matt Patterson and his crew, in their recently refurbished White Donkey, finished the four-race event with just eight points. Second place went to Richard Karran with 11 points, and third to the Choate family with 14 points.

The racing, as in years past, was very close and competitive. Friday was pretty light with racing postponed for a few hours. The wind picked up eventually and the committee was able to get a start off, but the race was later abandoned as the little wind that did develop faded back to nothing. Saturday provided 6 to 8 knots in the morning. This increased to about 20 knots later in the day. After two good races, the third race was canceled because there was too much wind and a front was moving in. Sunday was great. The Wavelengths sailed two more races, with the last one being five legs.

The results were as listed below. Everyone had their moments. Finishers were often separated by just seconds, and first place went to a different boat each race.

The Southern California Yachting Association�s 75^th Annual Mid-Winter Regatta got the 2004 racing season off to a terrific start. Every one-design fleet known to man congregated at one of 22 hosting yacht clubs. There were PHRF fleets as well and �Land Sailors� (who knows what that is?) and Model Boats (sailing at four different venues).

The Santana 20s, with eleven entries, sailed out of the Balboa Yacht Club in Newport Beach. Winner of the event was Steve Schock, the youngest son of W. D. Schock, who teamed up with Adam Kline. This was Steve�s first Santana 20 event in about 25 years. It�s good to have him back! Second place went to Carson Reynolds and third to Gordon Wanlass.

Stu Robertson won the As, with Kurt Wiese just two points behind. Tracy Connor was first in the B division with 10 points. Sheila and Carl Eberly were second with 11 points.

The Schock 35 fleet was hosted by Cal Yacht Club in Marina del Rey. Roy Godwin in Whiplash was the winner of the twelve-boat fleet. Second place went to David Voss in Piranha, and Jeff Janov in Ripple was third. The Schock 35 fleet used this race as a feeder for a racing clinic the following weekend. David Ullman is the guest speaker.

Complete results and details are available on the class web sites � www.S20.org, www.Harbor20.org, www.Lido14.org, www.Schock35.org.  

2003 Santana 35 National Championship

San Francisco Yacht Club

October 11 & 12

Congratulations to Bill Keller and his crew of Carnival for winning the Championship and taking home the

Perpetual Trophy to Monterey Peninsula Yacht Club.

Bill has brought Carnival up from the light winds of Monterey to compete for many years. This year he took home the Trophy with 1 bullet and 3 seconds in 5 races.

For those of you who missed it, The San Francisco Yacht Club were perfect hosts with an excellent Race Committee who gave us 5 excellent races like we wanted in steady winds and a clear course. When the wind did not cooperate for one race the Committee abandoned it and gave us a new race, Thanks.

Our Fleet extends a hardy Thank You to SFYC and ask them to consider a similar venue for the same weekend in 2004.

We want to thank Tom Schock and W.D. Schock Inc. for hosting us and ask them to come again next year.

The racing stayed very close with a tight fleet with full Start Lines and busy mark rounding. Four different boats got bullets and going into the last race any one of three boats could have taken the Trophy, That would have been 5 boats in the heat if it were not for 2 protests and ensuing DSQ's. We need more of this kind of racing.

The balance of the finishes were:

Bill Smith and Kyle Elliott on Fast Friends

Jack Feller on Maguro

Doug Storkovich on Dance Away

Guy Benjamin on Bluefin

Jeff Christie on At Ease

Lloyd Ritchey and Steve Hixon on Breakout

Leighton Quon on Flexible Flyer

Maguro, Bluefin, At Ease and Flexible Flyer are first year S35 owners!

Plan on being in the S35 National Championship next year.

Team Piranha Realizes 14-Year Pursuit of Schock 35 Champs

Eight dedicated Santana 30/30 skippers competed in the 2003 Nationals hosted by Cabrillo Beach Yacht Club in Long Beach, California, on August 23 and 24. Race officials set a windward-leeward course outside the breakwater beyond Angel�s Gate. On Saturday, winds blowing 14 � 18 knots with gusts to 20 presented an exciting challenge for everyone involved. Sunday brought even stronger winds - 16 to 20 knots with gusts to 22. Amidst round downs, round ups, and breaking gear, Bob Marcus� Redline emerged the winner with four first-place finishes. Steve Murphy�s JoAnn was close behind to take second place honors. Third place went to John Heaney on Spirit, and Mike Kirk�s team on Snafu was fifth.

San Diego Yacht Club hosted the 2003 Schock 35 Nationals � a regatta noted for excellent winds, superb tactics, and menacing kelp. Muggy weather and challenging wind shifts characterized Day 1 in the South Bay. Piranha took Race 1 in 8 to 12 knot winds. Race 2 started after the first of three general recalls during the regatta. Ripple lead throughout the race, protecting the lead as the wind dropped below 5 knots. Whiplash took a quick lead in Race 3 and was first to round the windward mark. They couldn�t hold on, though, and let Outlier sneak by before the second windward mark.  Outlier held on to the end to take first place in Race 3. 

SCHOCKAZULU First in Class - Long Beach to Dana Point

The 2003 Santa Barbara to King Harbor Race was awesome. All 130 boats enjoyed good wind from start to finish, with the lead boats finishing well before dark. It was a close reach to Anacapa Island, then downwind along the back side in relatively light and fluky conditions, and a broad reach to the coast where the breeze picked up to 25 knots. The Schock 40s, Cincos and SchockaZulu, sailed neck-and-neck from the start, coaxing each other along to cross the line 5th and 6th boat-for-boat. They corrected to 1st and 2nd in their division. They started at 12 noon and finished the 81-mile race at 8:10 and 8:12 respectively, hitting top speeds of about 17 1/2 knots.

August 30, 2003

This race has become a Southern California classic. People like it because it has a short windward leg and then a long starboard tack to an oil platform, which is usually a reach, and then a downwind course to Dana Point. During the late summer months, our wind is lighter and much more fickle. This year, the wind was even lighter than usual.

SchockaZulu was really, really slow off the line. We tried everything we could think of to get our speed up to normal, but nothing worked. As I look back, I feel certain we had something invisible, perhaps a plastic bag, on one of the foils. After clearing the Harbor entrance, which served as the weather mark, we backed down to clear the foils. After that, things began to look much better!

Debauchery, a new Farr 36 one design was a mile ahead of us. A demoralizing circumstance considering we had beaten them badly in the Santa Barbara to King

The Schock 35s finished first, second and third in their 11-boat division in the Seal Beach to Dana Point race on July 19. It was a 28-mile reach down the coast, with the wind getting lighter and lighter as the fleet approached the finish. The three Schock 35s finished within a minute of each other. First was Sal Pestritto in "Xylocaine", second was "Mischief", third was the current national champion, "Whiplash".

Shockazulu First Monohull to Finish - Seal Beach to Dana Point

Wed, 6 Aug 2003

San Diego, CA � CBTF�s� revolutionary technology continues to earn accolades on the racecourse with the Royal Prince Alfred�s victory in the 2003 Admiral�s Cup. �Wild Oats,� a 60-foot Reichel-Pugh design featuring CBTF (Canting Ballast Twin Foil) technology, won the IRC Endorsed Class, leading the Australian Team to its first Admiral�s Cup victory in 24 years. 

CBTF� started as a radical innovation 11 years ago and now defines itself as an elegant, practical and effective solution for racing sailboats that has come of age as evidenced by the technology�s participation in other grand prix races and the upcoming launch of two MaxZ86s later this year. 

In the 2003 Admiral�s Cup, the Australian Royal Prince Alfred Yacht Club took home the coveted trophy when Bob Oatley�s �Wild Oats� won the Wolf Rock race on both corrected and elapsed time. Says Chuck Robinson, President of CBTF� Co., �We congratulate Bob and the entire Australian racing team on their hard work and well earned win. We�re proud that our CBTF� technology was a part of this exciting race.� 

This innovative appendage design incorporates the significant advantages of movable ballast into racing sailboat designs. A canting strut with a bulb of ballast at its tip provides righting moment quickly and easily. Because of the advantageous position of the ballast, a CBTF� design needs only about half of the ballast required for a conventional keelboat and can be achieved at the touch of a button rather than the efforts of a large crew. This results in a lighter and therefore faster boat. Maneuverability is simplified through CBTF��s two turning foils located forward and aft instead of the conventional rudder system. These CBTF� developments significantly improve boat performance, as evidenced by Wild Oats� spectacular win. 

CBTF� Co., based in San Diego, CA, developed technology to swing the keel and control the foils and now licenses this patented technology to designers around the world. For more information about CBTF� technology and licensing, please visit our new website at �http://www.cbtfco.com/�.

Tom Schock, in his Schock 40, was the third boat to finish in the 28-mile Seal Beach to Dana Point race on July 19. The two boats that crossed the line ahead of SchockaZulu were a Rogers 33 catamaran and Locomotion, a 45-foot custom boat. Locomotion was actually disqualified, making SchockaZulu the first monohull to officially finish the race. The Schock 40 corrected first in the 11-boat Sport Boat division. Of the 62 boats in the race, the best corrected time went to Whistle Wind, a Farr 55. SchockaZulu was second.

Scoring for Fun

June 14, 2003

Sailing in nearly perfect conditions (7 to 10 knots and 75 degrees), twenty-three Harbor 20's showed up for the Newport Harbor Nautical Museum's annual Stars & Stripes Regatta. The scoring system was recreated to allow and encourage variety and fun. A point was deducted from each finisher's score for towing a toy, having three generations on board, wearing red, white, and blue, flying a flag, and so on. The course took the boats all around the harbor. Several boats raced with five people, others raced single-handed.

After the race, trophies were handed out at the Nautical Museum. Besides a fine day of racing with family and friends, everyone was able to tour the museum, enjoy gourmet hors d'oeuvres and beverages. This type of racing was all-inclusive: FUN and COMPETITIVE, and THE WHOLE FAMILY WAS INVITED.

of the Gulf of Mexico. Seminar participants included Alan Shedd, Stu McCann & Wes Kelley came from Atlanta; Doug Messer, Gene Johnson and Dwight Timm from Michigan; Tom Clint, Brian O'Leary, and Tommy Whalen Ashtabula, Ohio; and Craig Ekman from Alexandria, Virginia. Kate Medicus (Annapolis) and Andrew Kerr (San Diego) crewed for Crig. Dan Borrer, Nate Vilardebo,

In early January, Schock 40 #10 was put into production for Iain Hall of the Channel Islands in the U.K. It will have a stunning black hull, a full inventory of Ullman sails, and a skipper eager to go fast.

When asked about his sailing background, Iain told us that his parents started the first sailing school in the UK after WW2. His father ran a boat yard and was an RORC Class 1 champion. Iain was given a sailing dinghy �as a christening present�, and he sailed the Atlantic with his family when he was just four. This new Schock 40 owner reports: �I rowed and sailed long before I could ride a bicycle, and raced International Cadets from eight years old.� He participated in team racing in school, read Naval Architecture at University, and taught sailing during vacations. He has raced Cherubs, Fireballs, Lasers and a Flying Dutchman at levels from club to European and World championships.

After some time away from racing, Iain went back to racing about two years ago, entering his family cruising boat (a Trintella 51A) in a number of local events. All of the races were light wind � not a pretty picture in a boat displacing 50,000 pounds or more. Somewhere along the racecourse, he vowed to go to the opposite end of the performance spectrum. After seeing articles on the internet and in print, he launched a thorough research and selected the Schock 40. 

Key West 2004 Race Week

An email from Lydia King-Rayner, who sailed her Wavelength 24 to a second place finish in PHRF 11.

What a thrill it was to take two beautiful Wavelength 24s � �Outtasight" and "Outtamind � to Key West. Just seeing them make their way down the interstate to Key West was outtasight. Then to meet the greatest bunch of sailor's was equally electrifying.

More than 3,000 sailors from across the continent and around the world traveled to Key West. The B&B Cypress House was represented by 5 countries. The hospitality was great. Every morning we awoke to fresh baked goods; and every afternoon food and drink on the deck. One of the boats treated us to three-hour old King Mackrel. While racing, the 25 pound fish jumped in

their boat. "Mad Max" Jerry Carney threw a Sushi party the following evening. "Outtasight" brought La. Gumbo for the first night, and Spicy beer Chili for the second night. The crew from Italy made several trips to the kitchen for the Gumbo.

 Old Sailor friends converged and exchanged tales of racing. The popularity of racing in Key West has spread around the world. Sailor's traveled from Europe, Australia and the Far East.

Division 1 was made up of 44 boats. Handicap boats competing in Divisions 2 and 4 made up 40 percent of the total entries. Division 3 had more than 100 boats on 3-4 square miles of ocean. Division 4 had 78 boats divided up into 5 handicap and 3 one design classes. A total of 301 sailboats made their way over the waters off Key West. All four divisions got in two races each day and the last day one race. Race 1 was sailed in a 7-10 knot southwesterly, which grew to 13-15 knots. On Wednesday Sam Vasquez had "Outtasight" in second place in PHRF 11. "We were two points behind J/30 "Circus". The morning race was a really tight one, with �Outtasight� two seconds behind "Circus�. It was heavy air, so they had the advantage.

What a week! "Outtasight� was thrilled to accept a beautiful cut glass crystal piece for 2nd overall in our class. And I might say, two of our crew members walked away with an overall 1st and 2nd in the Knot and Shot feat at Schooners Bar. I can't tell all of you what a downer it was to pack up the boats and head North.

Seven Schock-built Wavelength 24s headed for Florida February 13, 14 and 15 and turned the St. Pete NOOD Regatta into their 2004 Class Championships. Matt Patterson and his crew, in their recently refurbished White Donkey, finished the four-race event with just eight points. Second place went to Richard Karran with 11 points, and third to the Choate family with 14 points.

The racing, as in years past, was very close and competitive. Friday was pretty light with racing postponed for a few hours. The wind picked up eventually and the committee was able to get a start off, but the race was later abandoned as the little wind that did develop faded back to nothing. Saturday provided 6 to 8 knots in the morning. This increased to about 20 knots later in the day. After two good races, the third race was canceled because there was too much wind and a front was moving in. Sunday was great. The Wavelengths sailed two more races, with the last one being five legs.

The results were as listed below. Everyone had their moments. Finishers were often separated by just seconds, and first place went to a different boat each race.

The Southern California Yachting Association�s 75^th Annual Mid-Winter Regatta got the 2004 racing season off to a terrific start. Every one-design fleet known to man congregated at one of 22 hosting yacht clubs. There were PHRF fleets as well and �Land Sailors� (who knows what that is?) and Model Boats (sailing at four different venues).

The Santana 20s, with eleven entries, sailed out of the Balboa Yacht Club in Newport Beach. Winner of the event was Steve Schock, the youngest son of W. D. Schock, who teamed up with Adam Kline. This was Steve�s first Santana 20 event in about 25 years. It�s good to have him back! Second place went to Carson Reynolds and third to Gordon Wanlass.

Stu Robertson won the As, with Kurt Wiese just two points behind. Tracy Connor was first in the B division with 10 points. Sheila and Carl Eberly were second with 11 points.

The Schock 35 fleet was hosted by Cal Yacht Club in Marina del Rey. Roy Godwin in Whiplash was the winner of the twelve-boat fleet. Second place went to David Voss in Piranha, and Jeff Janov in Ripple was third. The Schock 35 fleet used this race as a feeder for a racing clinic the following weekend. David Ullman is the guest speaker.

Complete results and details are available on the class web sites � www.S20.org, www.Harbor20.org, www.Lido14.org, www.Schock35.org.  

San Francisco Yacht Club

October 11 & 12

Congratulations to Bill Keller and his crew of Carnival for winning the Championship and taking home the

Perpetual Trophy to Monterey Peninsula Yacht Club.

Bill has brought Carnival up from the light winds of Monterey to compete for many years. This year he took home the Trophy with 1 bullet and 3 seconds in 5 races.

For those of you who missed it, The San Francisco Yacht Club were perfect hosts with an excellent Race Committee who gave us 5 excellent races like we wanted in steady winds and a clear course. When the wind did not cooperate for one race the Committee abandoned it and gave us a new race, Thanks.

Our Fleet extends a hardy Thank You to SFYC and ask them to consider a similar venue for the same weekend in 2004.

We want to thank Tom Schock and W.D. Schock Inc. for hosting us and ask them to come again next year.

The racing stayed very close with a tight fleet with full Start Lines and busy mark rounding. Four different boats got bullets and going into the last race any one of three boats could have taken the Trophy, That would have been 5 boats in the heat if it were not for 2 protests and ensuing DSQ's. We need more of this kind of racing.

The balance of the finishes were:

Bill Smith and Kyle Elliott on Fast Friends

Jack Feller on Maguro

Doug Storkovich on Dance Away

Guy Benjamin on Bluefin

Jeff Christie on At Ease

Lloyd Ritchey and Steve Hixon on Breakout

Leighton Quon on Flexible Flyer

Maguro, Bluefin, At Ease and Flexible Flyer are first year S35 owners!

Plan on being in the S35 National Championship next year.

Eight dedicated Santana 30/30 skippers competed in the 2003 Nationals hosted by Cabrillo Beach Yacht Club in Long Beach, California, on August 23 and 24. Race officials set a windward-leeward course outside the breakwater beyond Angel�s Gate. On Saturday, winds blowing 14 � 18 knots with gusts to 20 presented an exciting challenge for everyone involved. Sunday brought even stronger winds - 16 to 20 knots with gusts to 22. Amidst round downs, round ups, and breaking gear, Bob Marcus� Redline emerged the winner with four first-place finishes. Steve Murphy�s JoAnn was close behind to take second place honors. Third place went to John Heaney on Spirit, and Mike Kirk�s team on Snafu was fifth.

San Diego Yacht Club hosted the 2003 Schock 35 Nationals � a regatta noted for excellent winds, superb tactics, and menacing kelp. Muggy weather and challenging wind shifts characterized Day 1 in the South Bay. Piranha took Race 1 in 8 to 12 knot winds. Race 2 started after the first of three general recalls during the regatta. Ripple lead throughout the race, protecting the lead as the wind dropped below 5 knots. Whiplash took a quick lead in Race 3 and was first to round the windward mark. They couldn�t hold on, though, and let Outlier sneak by before the second windward mark.  Outlier held on to the end to take first place in Race 3. 

The 2003 Santa Barbara to King Harbor Race was awesome. All 130 boats enjoyed good wind from start to finish, with the lead boats finishing well before dark. It was a close reach to Anacapa Island, then downwind along the back side in relatively light and fluky conditions, and a broad reach to the coast where the breeze picked up to 25 knots. The Schock 40s, Cincos and SchockaZulu, sailed neck-and-neck from the start, coaxing each other along to cross the line 5th and 6th boat-for-boat. They corrected to 1st and 2nd in their division. They started at 12 noon and finished the 81-mile race at 8:10 and 8:12 respectively, hitting top speeds of about 17 1/2 knots.
