One skipper officially nomi- nated by his Fonte club, which, having an active fleet in the class, submits the skipper’s name and asserts that he/she is the most qualified in the Club’s match racing competition.

All names of those also applyin the associated Divisional Regatta will be “put in the hat’, and the required number of names will be drawn at random by an individual noi at interest. 2. If available places still remain, all other names will be similarly treated. Please note: Registration fees must accompany applications; checks will be held until all competitors are identified. As soon as possible, accepted checks will he deposited and all others returned. The 10 boat limitation is a result of the number of heats required to allow each boat to sail against every other boat once. Asseen inthe table below, it goes up rapidly.

Also, you should check the crankshaft to make sure it is straight. There are steps mentioned in the instructions to check this alignment. An extension is added to the crankshaft to accommodate the starter pulley/clutch assembly. Great care is taken by Eastcraft to ensure the concentricity of the extension. The pulley/clutch assembly should line up perfectly; just be sure the crankshaft is straight. The system is designed to fit in a standard 5-inch motor mount, between the marine engine and the engine bearers, as shown in the photo. A variation to this installation, which proved successful on the Miss U.S., was to mount the starter in the radio compartment to allow for the scale cowling. Gary provided Doug with a 14-inch shaft to replace the normal length, and Doug modified the drive unit. Thus, the starter is hidden and yet still very effective. | want to say, though, that whenever you deviate from the manufacturer’s intended assembly or use, do not blame him if you are unsuccessful. Although Eastcraft recommends using a third channel to activate the starter, it is possible to use a twochannel radio. The Miss U.S. was set up so that when you apply full left rudder and full left trim (which, of course, is almost never used), the servo arm depresses a micro-switch. On the day of our test, Doug got everything ready, fueled up tne tank, and, as per the instructions, pave the engine a prime. The other oaters just stared with their mouths open as the Miss U.S. was set in the water, and then Doug proceeded with full left rudder to start the system cranking over. Without exaggerating. it was just like watching one of the big Thunderboats fire up out of the pit area. The realism is something else! With proper maintenance, the system should give long, troublefree operation. Periodically check for proper belt tension, apply Loctite 242 to all screws and bolts, lubricate the clutch assembly, and remove excess fuel and oil from the belt and pulleys.

Brats ran pretty fair, and according to Karl Carlson, who produced about 100 Hex headtype Brat engines (which he called “repro” engines), Brats started fairly easy. Nowadays, with better batteries, better wiring techniques, and better coils, it is no great surprise. Jack Keener made about 5,000 Brat engines in all, first beginning $144.95 KIT production at his shop at 2429 W. Basic chassis kit has performance where it Washington in Los Angeles. Continuing production of Brat engines, Keener moved to Oakland, where he resides today. The 1938 version, which is illustrated featured a bore of 17/32 of an inch and stroke of 5/8 of an inch. With an overall height of 3-1/4 inches, the motor weighed in at 3-1/3 ounces.

Match racing requires an instant recall of the racing rules. While it is fair sailing which determines the winner, it is nevertheless true that he who commits a foul finishes second. Different styles are empes. Some skippers will attack with the idea of forcing an tnfraction. Others, sure of superior boat speed, will avoid the other boat. Some hang back, then seem to magically appear just to leeward of you, luffing you over the line early, then charging to weather while you reround to start late. The literature on match racing is mostly buried in bits and pieces in the accounts of the America’s Cup matches. Two good references that don’t fit that category are given below.
