By US SAILING press release
Lightning World Champion Jeff Linton (Tampa, Fla.) and Princess Sofia Trophy Yngling Champion Sally Barkow (Nashotah, Wis.) today were named, respectively, US SAILING's 2007 Rolex Yachtsman and Yachtswoman of the Year. A shortlist of 10 male and nine female sailors - determined from nominations by the membership of US SAILING - were evaluated by a panel of sailing journalists who selected these two sailors for the noteworthy distinction.
Established in 1961 by US SAILING and sponsored by Rolex Watch U.S.A. since 1980, the Rolex Yachtsman and Yachtswoman of the Year awards recognize the outstanding on-the-water competitive achievement of an individual man and woman in the calendar year just concluded. The winners will be honored and presented with specially engraved Rolex timepieces during a luncheon on February 29, 2008, at the New York Yacht Club in Manhattan.
Rolex Yachtsman of the Year - When Jeff Linton (Tampa, Fla.) received his first nomination for the Rolex Yachtsman of the Year award in 2005, it was the result of crewing aboard winning boats at the Etchells World Championship and the J/24 Midwinters, combined with a string of four top-five finishes in the Lightning class. Fast forward two years to find the 45-year-old Linton now semi-retired, having sold his partnership interest in Masthead Enterprises, and in the helmsman's position, dominating the Lightning class, for which he has been crowned the 2007 Rolex Yachtsman of the Year.
"This was a remarkable year," said Linton. "Everything fell into place. We've become more consistent as a team, and because work was secondary there was more time to fix the boat and more time to practice. Winning the Rolex Yachtsman of the Year award is one of those things you dream about. You get a few wins, and you think 'maybe I could get my name on that [trophy].' It's the pinnacle, and after 38 years of sailing, I've finally done it."
Linton won the 2007 Lightning World Championship in Athens, Greece, in a fleet of 48 with 11 nations represented, but he noted that the hardest event to win in 2007 was the Lightning Winter Championship, which has no restrictions on the number of entries. At that 71-boat event, contested in St. Petersburg, Fla., he edged out numerous notable sailors to win by just one point. His success in the class also included: the South American Championship held in Bogota, Columbia, where first-place finishes in three races ultimately gave him a 14-point win over the 20-boat field; the title win at the Florida District Championship; a second-place finish at the Lightning Deep South Regatta in Savannah, Ga.; and second overall in the Lightning Southern Circuit out of 42 boats.
Linton also earned additional praise from the selection committee for performance in two other competitive one-design classes: he won the Flying Scot North American Championship and the Classic Moth National Championship.
"The Flying Scot class is similar in many respects to the Lightning," Linton explained. "Both have a large membership base in the U.S.A. and professional sailors are active in both classes. The Moth, which was well-known in the 1930s and '40s and built in basements, is still a build-your-own boat. My current boat is four years old and undefeated. If someone beats her, I'll have to build a new one."
Linton moved to Florida as an infant and grew up sailing with his father, a marine biologist, and his brother, John, on the family's Morgan 24. He first tasted success in one-design racing as a teenager on a windsurfer; and while he went to Eckerd College on a soccer scholarship, he ultimately ended up in the collegiate sailing program. His wife, Amy Smith Linton, is his regular crew in the Lightning and Flying Scot, making her a world champion as well. "A lot of time spouses don't work together [in the boat]. I don't know the secret; we just try to have fun."
Rolex Yachtswoman of the Year - Sally Barkow (Nashotah, Wis.) has reclaimed her position as the top woman racer in the U.S.A. upon being named the 2007 Rolex Yachtswoman of the Year. First recognized with the honor in 2005, Barkow was nominated to the shortlist for the sixth consecutive year and now joins a select group of women who have received the accolade more than once.
"This is exciting and unexpected! I was shocked when I got the call," said Barkow, who is training in Florida until the end of February with her Yngling teammates Debbie Capozzi (Bayport, N.Y.) and Carrie Howe (Grosse Pointe, Mich.). "The other nominated sailors are extremely distinguished and accomplished, all very deserving of this great honor."
Like the football star who cannot win the Heisman Trophy without his team, Barkow acknowledged she would not be receiving this award for the second time without the support of the talented team on which she relies. "I have not sailed a single-handed boat since 2002 and I believe that teamwork is our biggest asset on the water. Debbie has sailed with me in every event this past year, not to mention the preceding five years. Carrie has also been racing with me for the past five years, only missing a few events this year, and Annie Lush (GBR) has raced every match race event and all three of our successful Rolex International Women's Keelboat Championships. Beyond these three, there have been numerous fantastic crew who all deserve a piece of this award. Our sport involves a great deal of teamwork, and it is the entire team that makes success happen. This award is for my entire team!"
Although Barkow's primary focus has been helming her Yngling with a goal of representing the U.S.A. at the 2008 Olympic Games in China, her performance in other classes, whether fleet or match racing, were what set her apart in 2007. Barkow started the year with her third consecutive win of the Rolex Miami OCR in the Yngling class. On task in the Yngling, she finished second at the North American Championship in Miami, won the Princess Sofia Trophy in Spain and collected silver at both Semaine Olympique Française in France and the ISAF Sailing World Championships in Portugal.
Barkow's turn on the match racing circuit was highlighted by wins at the Boat U.S. Santa Maria Cup in Annapolis, Md., and the Vitória Brasil Women's Cup in Brazil. Flying straight from Brazil to Houston, Texas, Barkow took the helm of a J/22 to close the year as she had started it -- collecting another championship title for the third consecutive time. She won US SAILING's Rolex International Women's Keelboat Championship (IWKC) without having to sail the final race of the series after topping a field that included past winner and fellow Rolex Yachtswoman of the Year ('95, '01) Cory Sertl (Rochester, N.Y.), as well as Anna Tunnicliffe (Plantation, Fla.) who will represent the U.S.A. at the 2008 Olympic Games in the Laser Radial event. Only one other woman has won the Rolex IWKC multiple times: Betsy Alison (Newport, R.I.) has won not only the regatta but also the Rolex Yachtswoman of the Year award a record-setting five times.
The 27-year-old Barkow grew up in a sailing family and started receiving national recognition as two-time ICSA (Inter-Collegiate Sailing Association) All-American (2001 and 2002) while studying Psychology at Old Dominion University (Norfolk, Va.). Since graduating from ODU, her single-minded focus has been her goal of competing at the Olympics in the Yngling class. The linchpin to that quest will be the Yngling World Championship in February which will be the final event in a series that will determine if Barkow's team represents the U.S.A. at the 2008 Olympic Games in China.

HALO20+ 20" Radar Dome
The Ultimate Picture from a Smaller Dome.
See Far And Near With One Compact Dome
Perfect for wide mid-sized to large sailboats, HALO20+ comes in a compact 20-inch dome antenna and delivers high-quality short, mid, and long-range detection. Monitor two distance ranges at once in Dual Range mode so you can keep an eye on faraway weather cells while watching for collision hazards up close. HALO20+ radar’s pulse compression technology means no compromises in detection at either selected range, while beam sharpening provides enhanced separation between small or distant targets.
The Best View To Avoid Collision
HALO20+ radar does a full 360-degree sweep every second, thanks to its industry-first 60 RPM rotation at ranges up to 1.5 nautical miles. These ultra-fast updates give you an almost real-time view at close range, offering the ultimate view for collision avoidance of fast-moving targets.
Built-in VelocityTrack™ Doppler Technology
VelocityTrack™ technology grants instant visual feedback on whether targets are coming towards you or moving away with color-coding approaching vessels for high visibility while de-emphasizing diverging targets, increasing situational awareness, and decreasing the risk of collision. HALO20+ radar automatically checks every target in range; there’s no need to manually select individual targets, and no limit to the number of targets on screen at one time.
Ready Whenever You Are
HALO20+ Radar wakes instantly from its low-power standby mode, delivering this high-speed radar coverage exactly where and when you require it. Even if your HALO20+ Radar is completely powered down, start-up only takes some seconds, not minutes like traditional pulse radar.
Easy to Use Radar

US Sailing, the national governing body for the sport of sailing, released a book, “Learn Sailing Right! Beginning Sailing.”
Written by the country's leading professional sailing instructors, the book helps beginning sailors gain confidence by using easy-to-understand text and graphics.
The book starts with a tour of a typical small sailboat, and explains the concepts of how sails harness the wind to move a boat through the water. The next step puts the sailor on board the boat and describes how to steer and adjust the sails to go in the right direction. The book wraps up with seamanship skills that make sailing safer and easier.
The foreword is written by renowned sailing commentator, historian and expert sailor Gary Jobson.
"For the first time aspirant sailing might seem intimidating, but thanks to Learn Sailing Right!, one can quickly understand the concepts thanks to simple diagrams and clear descriptions," Jobson writes. "This book gets right to the basics and serves as a practical guide and handy reference for the entire crew.”
The 64-page “Learn Sailing Right!” is now available online through the US Sailing store at http://store.ussailing.org. The cost of the book is $17.95 ($12.50 for US Sailing members).

Series 25 T-Track - Composite Slide - 102mm(4")
For small keel boats and sportsboats T-track jib leads are a great blend of performance and functionality in a simple, efficient package. Composite slide bodies with plunger stops run on anodised aluminium track, and allow quick and easy manual adjustment.
Lightweight
Composite jib lead cars continue the design philosophy of the award winning Ronstan BB and RT Orbit Blocks™, with virtually all metal components now replaced with high-tech polymers and fibre equivalents. The car design has been modelled and optimised using finite element analysis and rapid prototyping techniques to achieve maximum strength-to-weight characteristics. Orbit Block™ models use a Dyneema® Link which is 10 times stronger and lighter than steel, to provide the articulated connection between block and car.
Integrated Functionality
The clever 2-piece car body is molded from a composite material that delivers low friction on the alloy track without the need for separate inserts. It also provides the required mechanical strength without the weight and corrosion drawbacks of metal parts. An integrated becket at the forward end of the car suits 2:1 sheet systems and the removable threaded pin allows easy fitting of alternate blocks and accessories.
Low Profile and Compact
Sleek styling and the positioning of the attachment pin provide a low lead aft for the lead block. The Dyneema® Link allows full articulation. The plunger stop button has a flush finish and the contoured form of the car eliminates the chance of lines and sails becoming snagged.
Precise Adjustment
The ergonomic plunger stop toggle combined with low friction of the car body allows for easy one-handed adjustment. The toggle is located at the rear of the car for easy access from the cockpit on sports boats and small keel boats. An arrow is located on the side to indicate the position of the stop for repeatable settings. A 'Racing' track has 25mm(63/64") stop hole spacing for even more precise control of the car position and sheeting angle.
Features:
Low profile and lightweight
Removable attachment pin to suit either Dyneema® Link or a shackle
Integrated becket for 2:1 headsail sheet systems
Applications:
Headsail sheet leads on boats up to 8M (26').
Materials:
Toughened, glass fibre reinforced Nylon slide.

US Sailing created a new financial aid package aimed at providing financial assistance to junior sailors who are interested in competing in US Sailing championships or clinics.
The goal of the Sailorship program is to assist young sailors between the ages of 13 and 19 with the development of their sailing careers, regardless of their financial resources. The program was made possible by donations from two US Sailing members.
US Sailing could help as many as 100 young sailors before the program's conclusion at the end of 2009.
The amounts awarded through the program will vary from $100 to $500 a person each year, based on need.
Interested sailors and parents can complete on online application and must submit a letter of recommendation from an officer of their sailing organization. Sailing organizations are encouraged to nominate deserving junior sailors. All parties must be US Sailing members to be eligible.
The Sailorship program also offers travel grants for U.S. sailors competing at the Volvo Youth Sailing ISAF World Championship scheduled for July in Denmark. A total of $10,000 will be awarded to help with travel expenses.

FX+7000 Flying Sail Furler with Ratchet
Further to constructive technical exchanges with ocean racers, Facnor has developed for over 20 years a sophisticated range of Gennaker/Code Zero furlers: the FX+. These furlers are known to be light, easy to fit, and aesthetic. Also, this furler is reliable for cruising or racing.
Features:
Adapted to sailboat from 16 to 20m (55 to 70 ft.)
Code sail surface of 250m² maximum (2690ft²) (max 70m² / 753ft² staysail)
Ratchet option Start & Go included (working both clock or anti-clockwise)
Unique captive quick-release pin
Possible conversion for asymmetric Spinnaker
Composite/carbon housing
Maintenance-free units (sealed bearings)
The Standard Kit of the FX+7000 Furler Includes:
A ratchet in s/s duplex enabling a temporary stop when furling in and a self-locking both clockwise and anti-clockwise (Facnor patent)
One continuous line drum in anodized aluminum and CNC machined in a solid block, protected by a composite/carbon housing, low-profile drum
One swivel also in anodized aluminum and CNC machined in a solid block, including a neoprene anti-impact cover with high-visibility marking
One snap shackle as the bottom drum attachment (Optional SSH+7000 solid sheave as an alternative)
One shackle as the top swivel attachment (optional SB7000 2-to-1 block as an alternative)
Offers Comfort in Sail Handling, Reliability, and Easy Manipulation:
Monoblock's conception of the mechanisms for more sturdiness and long-lasting
Intuitive manipulation to connect the sail to the mechanisms thanks to a fitted-in, compact, and unique captive quick-release pin
Bottom drive unit with a largely dimensioned diameter for strong torque and therefore more comfortable handling
Is rotation transmitted through an anti-torsion luff rope? optional—sliding inside the luff tape and fitted with a thimble on each end (FCI7000 s-s thimbles and FRC s-s clamps are also available)
Easy installation of the furling loop (s-s guide + drum notch), discover Facnor Special GRIP loops for an efficient rotation of the drum, and the removable fairleads TSL25/28
