Ripping
Sails
Aside from the first, second and third place finishers in the
6 classes, there were other winners Saturday. Among them: the
sail makers in Oriental. The gusty winds caused the sails on
at least three boats to tear.
Doug Sligh and Mary Ann Parham say the 110 on their boat, Calculation
tore. Perry Cheatham says his staysail got “messed up”
though it was in his estimation, “marginally due to the
weather”. And Jan Erickson’s newly acquired Olympic
ketch was said to have had two sails blow out.
Some boats almost didn’t make it to the starting line.
The crew of George Homme’s Swan, Spirit, had planned to
sail out of their slip at Oriental Harbor Marina because their
motor was not working. But because the south winds had been
blowing water out toward the river, the Swan’s 6 1/2 foot
draft keel was stuck on the bottom…until Bill Sternberg
towed them out to the harbor.
One Year Anniversary of Isabel
and Perspective
Jane Tindall also had a memorable start to the day. As she guided
her boat, “Janesway” from her Smith Creek dock to
the starting line, black smoke poured out of her engine. The
engine was turned off. Jane and her crew sailed to the starting
line, sailed the race, came in 6th out of a dozen in their class
and made it back to the dock under sail, perhaps logging more
hours on the water than any other crew.
The
breeze catches the crew of "Janesway" - Trish
Keegan, Dawn Keller, Skipper Jane Tindall, Debbie Bullock.
They didn't win an award...had black smoke engine trouble...but
had a happy day on the race course. |
The 2004 Oriental Cup Regatta came a year to the day after Hurricane
Isabel hit Pamlico County. Isabel’s floodwaters had totaled
Jane Tindall’s home and belongings.
When we mentioned the anniversary, Jane put Saturday’s engine
trouble in to perspective, “A little black smoke ain’t
nothing.” And she laughed.
