Tiller Lock Gun - Grey This tiller lock maintains the rugged reliability of the original and brings the design fully up to date. Design suitable for any tiller-steered yacht or sports boat A simple mechanism allows the tiller to be set and adjusted, which is indispensable for short-handed sailing The innovative design incorporates a snubber, which holds a far better course than simply lashing the tiller A variety of methods for fixing or locking the tiller have been used over the years, and many have only been adequate. Improvements in performance involving short keels and dagger rudders are often transom-hung and suffer from an unfortunate handicap. With no skeg and no shelf, but with a sensitive rudder, a boat will fall off her elegant balancing act if the helmsman lets go of the tiller. The increased sensitivity and faster response of newer boat designs call for a better system. Such a system should: 1. Allow precise locking of the tiller with minimum difficulty. 2. Be quick and simple to operate when locking and particularly when releasing. 3. If possible, the system should be able to be detached instantly from the tiller in the event of any emergency. This Tiller Lock rope lock was designed to meet these points. The device consists of a sheave and lever cam with a toothed slider mounted in a block that is fitted beneath the tiller. The rope is fitted across the back part of the cockpit as a means of keeping it under tension. When locked onto the rope, the toothed slider prevents the tiller from moving in either direction. Features: Releasing the lock (by turning the lever to port) immediately frees the tiller and allows the rope to ride freely over the sheave for manual steering In an emergency or when the device is not required, the rope can easily be snapped out of the block by a downward pull, clearing the tiller Specifications: Weight: 0.2kg Color: Grey

FLO Tell Tale - 6 Pack The telltale is a product that has not evolved, been updated, or been improved since it was designed, despite major flaws, until now. SeaSure’s "FLO" tell tales are shaped like an aerofoiled teardrop and manufactured from glass-filled nylon. The rounded top surface of the teardrop allows the wool to stand 6mm off the sail so that the wool never gets stuck to the sail when it is wet. This means that whether it is raining or you have just recovered from a capsize, you will be able to carry on sailing and get the feedback you need from the sail right away. FLO has been designed by former America's Cup designer and current coach of the British Olympic Team, Derek Clark. FLO has been tested and used around the world by world champions. Specifications: Package Includes: 3 red and 3 green telltales Weight: 0.02kg

Jan 16, 2008 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.    For additional information on the awards please visit www.ussailing.org/awards/rolex.

"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).

P66-BL Transom Mount Triducer Multisensor Blue Connector The P66 is the best performing and most popular, transom mount, triducer multisensor in the market for many reasons. Foremost, the 50 kHz and 200 kHz, oversized, ceramic element produces focused beams, highlighting detail in the water column and in the bottom structure. Setting the Industry Standard Because of its hydrodynamic shape, water coming off the transom flows smoothly under the transducer face. This results in accurate, high-speed, depth readings and clear display images. Going a step further, the P66 triducer multisensor also incorporates a noise-suppression system. The result is a 5 to 8 knot (6 to 9 MPH) improvement over standard construction through improved shielding from noise and vibration. And the plastic release bracket lets the P66 rotate up to protect the housing if struck from the front. Fishing Applications Lake and inshore all-around saltwater fishing for small to mid-size outboard boats. Features: Depth, speed, and temperature in one housing Plastic kick-up bracket Accommodates transom angles between 2° and 20° Recessed waterflow channel protects paddlewheel Transducer can be removed from bracket without the use of tools for easy service and storage Boat Size: Up to 12M (40') This product may not be returned to the original point of purchase.
