WB-Sails chose the 470-tig as one of the first testing grounds for their aerodynamicanalysis-programMacSail for several reasons: Firstly, with our long experielc-eof the 470-classwe were confident that the shapesof these art- Also, we had sailsrepresentedwell today'sstate-of-the photography as normal through available u..u.u* shapes well as phoiogrammetry. Another important factor was (both that the i.u.t 6f racing in the 470-classrepresents standards' highest the internationallyand nationally) Vortex

Latice Method

The MacSail-calculati.onprogram is based on a system called "vortex-latticemethbd". ln this method' the sails jib are replacedby a 3D-grid, dividing both-mainsailand is velocity Flow elernents 100 into approximately leeward both on element, each of center in the calculaied and windward sidesof the sails,taking also into accourit the effect of the jib wake (backwind) on the mainsail' From flow velociti', the pressurecan be deduced,and by adding the wintlw.ard side pressure to- the leeward side suctio"n,the pressuredifferencein each element can be obtained.This pressureacts perpendicularto the element surface,forming a small force vector' Summing up all these small t..torc in each element gives the magnitude and direction o[ the total force acting on the jib and the mainsail. So far. all the calcr-rlationhas happened in inviscid (frictionless)flou', and to get real life result, the effect of skin-frictron is added li'ith the hclp o[ scnriernpiricaldata. This processtakes beefed-up'accclerated ' Macintosh-computerapproximatell'2 hours to con'rplete angle u'ind apparent one and for one siven sei of sails

As you can see,the jib seemsto contribute much more (relaiively)to boatspeedthan the mainsail,but don't get it wrong: it only does this because it is working in conjuiction rvith the main. In fact, the jib is receiving a ,trong "lift" from the main, while the mainsail is e"pe.lencing a bad header due to the jib (the jib, after all' is i.r u "safe"leewardposition") Take the main out, and the jib will lose its magic. Note-how-very small the actual driving force pulling the boat forward is, some 22 kilos'

main, and even in most of the leech areait is higher than the wind speed. As a result, the flow is less prone to "separate",and thus the jib can produce a greater drive in conjunction with than mainsail than it would alone. The flow seDarates.if it is forced to slow down too much too fast. Th; jib maintains higher velocities all the way down, becausethe foot lies on the deck, while in caseof the mainsail, the pressure difference tends to even out under the boom, thus making the lower part of the sail Iess efficient. The flow has to slow down to the free stream speed in the leech of the mainsail,which makes it prone to separation.Separationalways occurs first in the head of the sails, where acceleration and the following decelerationis big. In the front part of the main, flow velocity is nearly the same as wind speed there's hardly any pressure difference, the sail is close to backwinding.

Conclusions

A flowchart such as this gives the sail designera wealth of useful information. You can see, how the flow is acceleratedon the surfaceof both sails so that the speed of the flow is nearly everywhere greater than the wind speed. Near the head of the sails the speed is almost doubled.ie. 14-15m/s.

Separation The influence of the jib can clearly be seen on the main surface - the flow is decelerated in the slot between the two sails, not accelerated, as you often hear claimed. The velocity on the surface of the jib is larger than on the

Although calculations such as these give a wealth of useful information to the sail designer,it would be wrong to expect a miracle shape to come out of the computer as a result. We can only optimize the sails for one given wind condition at a time, and although we can simulate mast bend and forestay sag in the computer, the true art and skill of the sailmaker comes out in the intricate balancebetween the seam-induced,moulded shape and the luff curve shape,combined with the rig characteristics and the fabric stretch, to produce a suit of sails versatile enough to power the boat from the lightest zephyrs to the choppy seasin hear,ybreezes.So, even in this computerage, the ultimate proving ground of a new suit of sails remainsthe racecourse.the way it should be.

HeinzStaudt,President 1992 General AssemblY and General Council meetings at Rota (Spain),

t8-20April, 1992 This year's General AssemblY meeting was clearly focussedon technical problems. Apart from the Building specification which is the subjectofa seParatestatus report, proposals submitted bY the 470 Technical Committee were discussed and adoPted. The majority of those proPosals concerned the simplification andlor clarificationof our rules(it seemsto be the fate of the authors of rules - both technicalspecificationsand racingruies - that it appearsto be an impossibletask to so draft wordings in English that will not be ultimately challenged bY someone).New points can be basically summed up as follows: - adootion of minimum ienqths for n r d d e r sa n d c e n t r e b o a r d s ; - o p t i o n a ls t o p p e r sf o r m a i n s a j l s ;

- the possibilityof controlling the mast from abaftaswell asin the viciniry of the mastpartners,and the definition of very simple fittings for mast control; - specifyingthat organizingauthorities, *uy itt future allow a higher weight of clothing than 12kg, in saiiing instructions,if cold weatherconditions orevail: - specifyingthat competitorsmay use the sail number of the latesthull shell still ownedby them on anyboat charteredor owned by them. In addition, the agendaitem "Sports" t o o k u p a s u b s t a n t i a lp o r t i o n o f t h e d i s c u s s i o nt i m e b o t h o f t h e G e n e r a l Assemblyand the GeneralCouncil. Acting in accordancewith the wishes by the I\T.Q we had previously expresses laid down our championshipschedules far in advancg only to be subsequently confrontedwith a situation where for the first time in 1994 an IYRU World Championshipwill take placewhich accordingto all we heard so far - will meet with a wide echo in the media.In l i g h t o f i t s w i d e - s p r e a idn t e r n a t i o n a l presencethe 470 would iogicallybe the

Z-person dinghy to be sailed in that category.On the other hand we are committed to award our 1994 worlds event organisation to Finland. Furthermore,France has alreadybeen designatedas the venue for our 1993 World Championshipand preparations thereforehavereacheda stagewhere it is imoossible for us to trade those two ,r..r.l., (France and Finland) for each other. The General AssemblY felt neverthelessthat we should undertake evervpossibleeffort to ensurethat the 470-will be used for the IYRU world championship races. In caseFinland cannot host the Class W o r l dC h a m p i o n s h i p1s9 9 ' lb e c a u soeI the IYRU Worlds 1994,it will host the I 9 9 6 E u r o p e a nC h a m P i o n s h i P sl f. Finland does host the 1994 World Championships,GreatBritain will host the 1996 Europeans. The MasterWorlds 1994 have been given to the UK; the Junior World Championship 1997 to France. With regard to our World and EuropeanChampionshipsthe following points are to be included in our rules:

NothingLeft toChance. Building on his years of success, Paul Brotherton will be the British representative at the Olympic games in Barcelona this summer using his Hyde powered rig. Hvde Sails will continue its commitment to the 470 class in readiness for the next Olympiad. Send for details of the HYde rig system,or speak to Paul at any of the many Regattas which he witt be attending, to find out how Hyde sails can improve Your boatspeed in the 90's.

470into the Future The lYRU-discussion initiated by the IOC concerning the changes in the sport (i.e. that the sport should become more attractive and understandable to the media and non-sailing spectators) has been discussed.It was noted, that our sport must move forward and that therefore changes are necessary from time to time. But the sport should not lose any active participants by these changes - quite the opposite, it should gain active sailors by this means. Such changes seem possible r e s p e c t i v e ln) e ' c e s s a riyn : - the courses(e.g.shortercourseswith a differentangularconfigurationasclose as possibleto the shore).It was agreed t h a t d u r i n g t h e f o r t h c o m i n gs e a s o n a l t e r n a t i vceo u r s ec o n l i g u r a t i o nasr et o b e u s e d e x p e r i m e n t a l l yi n " n o r m a l " regattasbefore such patternsmight be used for world and continental events. - r a c e s c h e d u l e( a n e w f o r m u l a f o r overallscoring,wherethe final outcome is decidedat the very end of the series) -racing rules: It was found, that the IYRRare too long and too complicatedto be understood especiallyfor non-sailors.Everything s h o u l d b e e l i m i n a t e d ,t h a t i s n o t indispensible. We will send a proposal to the IYRU regardingthe following rules: Rule 54: The principle inherentin IYRR54 should be inverted.As a generalrule, e v e r y t h i n gs h o u l d b e a l l o w e di n t h e future.Thus, only in those caseswhere the organizersofan eventfeel,that one or anotherof thosepropulsionmethods ought to be outlawedon their waters, should they be entitled to say so in the

sallrng lnstructrons. An appendix will contain exact definitions of what prohibited acrions consist of. This could be, as an example, the respective rule we have so far (Reason: In real life, i.e.on the water, this rule continues to cause a great deal o{ discomfort amongboth competitors and juries. The basic philosophy of this rule from the sport's point ofview after all lies in the fact, that when winds are weak on inland waters, races could technically be "sailed" even with 0 Bft.. if the acrions prohibited under this rule were allowed. On the other hand. the questionarises. whether it might not be much more fun, if - with sufficient wind - one could impel the boat at precisely the right moment, enough to induce planning). Rule 33 will be deleted (Reason:In the days of vamished wooden yachts, any contact between them resulted in substantial damage and was generally avoidable because fleets were small. In an era of GRP hulls and with a g r e a t e rn u m b e r o I b o a t s c o m p e t i n g i n races, things look entirely different.) Rule 42: We will draw the attention of the IYRU to the [act.that the comperitor quire seldom really knows, at which exact moment he was in which orecise position in the middle of les say ]0 boas in the vicinity of a mark, what the exact angle was between his own boat and the wind and/or other comDetitors. and where a minor contact might have occurred with a competitor's hull, sail, on body etc...And that because of this the decisions of the jury onlyby chance are right. We feel very uncomfortable with this situation and we will ask the IYRU to look for better rules.

Ranking List For some time now, the IYRU computes ranking lists for our class. In the light-of the facithat the existence of two parallel setsof lists might lead to confusion it was decided that we should get in touch with IYRU and try to eliminate what we perceive as shortcomings in their 47O ianking lists, so that the (improved) I\RU lists would be published as the only rankins lists valid for our class. Weak points in the IYRU system, as we see them. are as follows: insufficient number of crews covered bY the 1ist, insufficient number of events included, too many (5) of those events have to be sailed in order to get to the top ofthe list' The current IYRU ranking list is published on page 23.

OlympicHopefuls twins A profileon the Kouwenhoven

rl H. D ti -

f T l

fn February of this year Hans Deutz met with Ithe 26year old Kouwenhoven twins, Ben and Jan, to trik to them about 470 sailing and their current successin the International4T0 fleet. I-ast year they had a real breakthrough in their sailing, coming 2nd at the Europeans, lst at the PreOlympics and 2nd attheWorld Championships. Three Dutchmen holding an interview in English and taping it as it happened was not an easytask, but it did provide an interesting result. Ben and Jan Kouwenhoven started saiii.ng when they were about 8 years old after their father bought them a fypicai 16 square metre Dutch boat. They liked the water and really enjoyed sailing, despite the fact that the first boat they owned was very siow and frequently needed repairsl Then, when they were about 10 years old th ey saw a 470 at a harbour and thought it looked fantastic. Determined to own one they took on some jobs and saved for over a year to buy onq beginning their 470 sailing at the age of I1. They spent a good deal of time after that practising by sailing up and down a lake, changing positions and learning all about 470 sailing - both crew and helm. The more wind there was the more fun they had!

TheSneekweek They didn t start sailing competitively until they were about 13 years old. There was a major regatta in Holland called the Sneekweek, curious to see how well they would do they entered. In the first race they had ever sailed they were first around the mark and could hardly believe what was happening! They were totally amazed at coming 2nd in the Sneekweek! Up to date they have now won the Sneekweek 6 times in all and always lound it great lun. After winning the Sneekweek a few times Ben and Jan decided to see how they would perform at a national level in 1981 and they were then able to assesshow they could improve their sailing and achieve some good results and the ambition to become top International sailors grew within them. At that time they sailed a Bragard, made in Belgium, it had the shape of a Nautivela, but their best results came when they bought a K.D. It was a much faster boat and their results improved.

Breakthrough Their first breakthrough came in 1985Jvhen they started using different sails, they then worked together with a sailmaker called Molenaar In 1986 the twins first went to Hyeres, again to see how they would do, they finished in the top 10! In 1988 thev started working with another sailmaker and they took a stcp backrvards. It took a lot of time before they reached the final concept. but their patience and foresight paid off and their results irnproved dramatically. They put some of this down to the fact that thev had learned a lot more about training and anah'sing their sailing. it became more conservativeas their self-confidenceimproved. Thel' agreethat their strong points are their sun and their speed but that they are weakest in light airs and on reach courses and thel'aim to improve on these. Not having much light air in Holland they are much stronger in rvinds. thev cut back on technical errors and now are very philosophical if things go wrong as they feel they have done their best. They pay attention to the materials other sailors

Thc trvins in actiotl

use but they have their own input and work together with a sailmaker Both Ben and Jan are quite technical sailors, with lots of experience. Now they find that they are able to think ahead a lot more and work outwhatwili happen in different situations and what the best approach is to each race.

Dedication The ultimate aim of everysailoris to competein the Olympic Gamesand the Kouwenhovensare currently concentrating [heir effortson the 1992Olympic Gamesin Barcelona.A great many people become interestedin 470 sailing through the Olympics and the participatingsailors and its important to recognizewhat, in general,makesa good 470 sailor.Jan feels that it's experienceand practicgwatchingwhat materialssuit you bestand learningto be objectiveaboutyour performance - good or bad - also Ben is awareof the danger of overpractising,becoming too focusedon sailing and unable to anticipatewhats happening in a race.Neither thinks it's necessaryto be a professionalsailor to haveany chanceat the Olympics,but theyknow that it takesmany hours of dedication to their sport to be good enough for a medal place.As nonprofessionalsit could be quite an expensivesport, but the Kouwenhovensfeel that its not necessaryto spend a lot of money to sail 470,it neednt be a big financial problem if you haveone goodboat that can last 3 or 4 years.Neither Bennor Jan consider themselvesrich arywayl

Tactics The Internationalfleetis a very strongone at the moment and the twins are well awareof how easyit is to find yourselves right back out of the top 20 just by letting your sailing slip a little. They feel their strongestpoint is sailing in windy c o n d i t i o n s ,w h i c h a r e p r e d o m i n a n t i n H o l l a n d S o u t h Europeanstrain mainly in light airsand arenot usedto sailing in strong winds as they are.They also know how difficult it is to getthe good startthat everyonewantsin a race.They sail a very tacticalracg concentratingnot only on speedasso many others seemto. The only trade secretthey would passon at 'easy this crucialpre-Olympic stageis to havean set-up'with a good rig and the minimum adjustmentsneeded,giving them time to concentrateon the raceand sail cleverly.They arevery well awareof their main competitorsin Barcelonathis yea4 but both agreedthat at the Olympic games"Youjust never know what will happen'!

Procedurefor Control of 470Weight Distribution at L992 Olympic Regatta l.

Competitors should present their hulls in the condition prescribed by Class Rules l6(a) after weighing, with fittings in their correct position and weight correctors, as approved by the Olympic Measurers, fitted if required.

If the hull has no weight correctors and is found to have a moment of inertia less than 130.0kgm'z,sheet lead will be added to the foredeck, just aft of the jib tack, of weight calculated to give the minimum required moment of inertia' The boat wlli be swung again and if the inertia then falls within a prescribed tolerancg above the minimum vaiuq the lead will be permanently fixed to the foredeck and no further swinging will be conducted.

If weight correctors are fitted and the boat is found to have a"moment of inertia of less than 1300 kgm2, the weight correctors willbe removed and lead sheet,of weight to the correctors, will be fixed to a point on the "q,rul foredeck in the position calculated to give the minimum required moment of inertia. The boat will be swung again and if the inertia then falls within a prescribed tolerancg above the minimum value, the lead will be permanently fixed to the foredeck and no further swinging will be conducted.

1 . Competitors shall notbe permitted to adjustboats, ie move fittings in an attempt to increase the moment of inertia, eitheibefore or during the tests.The measurer shall record the positions of heary fittings and competitors shal1sign a declaration that those fittings will not be moved during the Regatta.Adjustable fittings that may be moved shall be positioned in the position thatwill give the lowest moment of inertia during swinging. The moment or inertia will be measured in accordance with the method described in these notes.

Measurement of Moment of Inertia of an International 470 The oroceduredescribedbelow should be followed to measure the inoment of inertia of an International 470 as it will be measuredat the 1992 Olympic Regatta. 1. The hull should be preparedso that it is in the conditionprescribedby ClassRule l6(a), with weight correctors,it any, fitted.

2. The weight in this condition should be checkedand recorded]M1kg).If theweightis differentfiom that recorded on the MeasurementForm the hull should be re-weighed

by an official measurer, weight correctors-changed,-if required, and the Measurement Form endorsed accordingly

Using the apparatus in accordance with the enclosed diagrim, in idraughrfree room with a level floor, hang the boa"tso that it is level fore and aft with the hooks suspended from the lower position, 0r. In this condition the height from the top of the stem to the floor should be approximately l070mm

further improve the design of his yacht, T" I the KD-470, which has been especially designed for sailing the 1992 Olympic races in Barcelona,John Stavenuiter from Medemblik, The Netherlands, used Intergraph MCAE (Mechanical Computer-Aided Engineering) software.

Precision-Analysis Tools Using MCAE applications in yachting is not a novelty: in the design and construction ofyachts that are taking part in the America Cup race, computer-aided engineering software is used for performing stress analysis as well as analysing aerodynamics and hydrodynamics. Howevel the ruies for

The final result is a perfectly balanced construction that no longer has any extremes of stress and which shows a minimum of deformation withcut compromising other

designcriteria.With this new boat.JohnStavenuiter and KD PolyesterConstructionlook setto win the third Olympic gold medal in a rorv.

IntergraphBackground Information Olympic-classyachts are very stringent,which leaveslittle room for improving their performance.Maximising their designrequiresa precisionofcalculationthat hashitherronor been leasibleor would have been too costly.New software technologieshavenow enabledIntergraphto developand marketan MCAEsystemwith the necessary precision-analysis tools for simulating the ultimate yacht designsin a cosreffectivemanner before they are built.

SavingTime on PhysicalTesting To optimiseJohn Stavenuiter'sKD-470.an InterPro 6040 workstationwas used with Intergraph'sI/EMS (Engineering Modelling System) software for 3D solids modelling and I/FEM (Finite Eiement Modelling) for finite element analysis. Once a complete CAD geometry model of the KD-470 including all component parts had been created, now several'routine calculations, such as weight and centre of gravity are possible. But for an Olympic-class yacht this was clearly not enough; the real analysis work was yet to begin. Using I/FEM. they split the entire boat construction deck. hull and mast - into smaller segmentsfor analvsis of torsional stiffness and stress concentrations. Subsequently,forces were appiied to the model to predict physical behaviour. The anall.sis results presented a complete overview of deformations in the shape of his yacht.

Builditg specification Reportfrom the l'992 GeneralAssembly

lahe Working Party presented the results of |. their *ork in the form of a submission to the 1992 General Assembly in Rota.The paper which was discussed and partially amended by the meeting was susbequently adopted. The text voted by the assemblywas then forwarded to the IYRU as a 470 classsubmission and discussedby its CBC during their mid-yearmeetingon 9/10 May.The Working Party wasinvited to further study someaspectsand the final wording of the Building Specificationis to be adoptedon the occasion of the November 1992IYRU meetings. Without trying to interferein any waywith the ultimate IYRU decision,I would like to presentsomeof the essentialelements of the Building Specificationas adoptedby the 470 class: 1. No changeswill be made to the outer hull shell and to the configurationto the rubbing strake.(The CBCwould like us to study againwhether moulds could come from a singleplug,in future,or whetherwe might re-introduce the former rule under which only half of the hull shell tolerancewould be permitted for plugs.) 2. There shall be minimum shell thicknessand associated weights p.. -' for the various hull segments. 3. Reinforcementmember lengths shall be specifiedas "between ... and ...".their instailation shall be recommended. 4 . Total weight (120kg) only shall be verified in future, at world championshipsetc.

). For the purpose of quality control, hull weight will be determinedby weighingthe hull including the stem and shroud fittingsand the travellerbarbut excludingany other fitting. This hull weight is 83kg min. No correctorweight is

allowed.This weight will be done in the builders premisses.(The CBCwantsus to re-examinewhether 83kg is sufficient). 6. As part of quality control a swing testwill be carriedout under the same conditions as item 5. 7. As calculationshaveshown that thereis no needto have a bulkhead under the travellerbar if the travellerbar is fixed to the side tanks and direct to the top of the centreboardcase,this bulkheadwill be deleted.(The CBC askedfor further study). 8. No changeswere made with regardto materialsand to the basic principles of boat construction.However,tape non-slip material and sliding material are to be allowed in future,provided that they do not reinforce the hull. 9.

Old hulls have to be grandfathered.

10. Therehasto be a transition period for the implementation of the new specification. ll. Only one type of mould will be permitted per builder,in future. 12. Closersurveillanceis to be exercisedon builders in future T h e B u i l d i n g S p e c i f i c a t i o nw i l l b e c o m p r i s e d o f constructionplans which we would like to haveproduced as CAD, if possible.We hope to obtain exactdata on the stressload on boatsunder sailingconditions soon,from the University of Bremen. John Stavenuiterkindly offeredto verify the 470 Building Specification,using his finite elementmethod program. Basedon thosethreesetsof data,we will be ableto make optimum useofboth theoryand practice,in finaiizingthe Building Specificationfor the 470. Heinz Staudt

Coaching Theimportanceof goodcoaching for the 470 sailorby CathyFoster Foster competed in the 1984 Olympics, f "rhy \-rfinishing 7th overall in the then mixed 47O fleet, and became the ffrst woman helmsman in recent Olympic history. She is now a freelance professional coach, working with sailors of all skill levels and all nationalities. From my own experienceof 18yearsof intemational sailing I believethat good coachingcan really help to lift any sailor's performance.Coachescertainly help sailors cut corners in experienceand provide practicalassistanceand motivation. Coaching falls into three natural phasesin an Olympic campaign - preparation,regattacoachingand post-regatta.

Preparation When coming into an Olympic ciass, any sailing team needs to become familiar with the boat. A coach will set up boathandling exercises,explaining the various techniques used by the fleet leaders and will show the team how to set theirboat uo. Photos/video taken during sailing, related to the sailori' impressions of speed, smoothness and power will help them to recognize what makes their boat go fast. This will start to build up the data-base of specialist knowledge in order to produce optimum speed at all times and in all conditions. This is also the time to educate sailors in the theories of wind, tide, tactics, rules, diet, physical and mental training. Once competency hasbeen reached,the coach setsup twoboat tuning to look at technical experimentation plus what I call "sailor-speed'l Technical experimentatlon sorrs out rig settings, sail settings, different equipment and boat-layouts. Sailor-speed is how the team sails the boat, learning how to sail faster by using their bodies in different wind and wave conditions, upwind and off the wind. As time progresses,the coach should help the sailors to gain accessto any specialist knowledge which they believe will help them gain that edgeof speed over the rest of the competition. 81. this time the sailors are campaigning hard on the international circuits. The coach needs to work with them to develop a sensibie campaign, taking into account not only the need to gain experience and results, but also the sailors' funding/work situation, family/emotional needs and the possibility of mental/physical sraleness. The coach can also help the sailors recognize their strong and weak points, and aid them in planning strategiesto make their sailing consistently good more often.

Stress As eachseasongoeson, the coachneedsto help to re-adjust goalsas disappointmentsor unexpectedsuccesses happen, or elsewhen something happensin the backgroundwhich emotionally affectsthe sailor eg.a family death,loss of job. As the stressesbuild up and the campaigndemandsgiving up yetmore of life to sailing,difficultiesoccurbecausechanges for one crew-memberare often out of steDwith the other. Resentmentsoon builds up when neither side thinks that the sacrificesor effort they aremaking areunderstood.A coachcan be a real help at this time by showing the sailors what is happening to their team and getting them to appreciateeach other again.Problemsalsoarisewhen one of the teamis a lot more experiencedthan the other Immense Iiustrations can build up within the boat which need to be periodically defused if the team is to grow together and function well.

RegattaCoaching In Olyrnpic sailing regattas fall into three categories, pracricg grooming and peak. If the team want to practice big fleet situations, work on a particular problem or test speed with new equipment, then the aims for that regatta may exclude any intention to get a result - the result becomes incidental to whatever is being tested. This is a practice regatta. Results matter in grooming regattas. These orientate the sailors to the level of competition in the fleet at that time and keep the sailors aware of recent speed developments. Peak regattas are where it all comes together Everything is focussed on performance So what is the coachs role during these regattas?One thing is for certain - the role changes with each regatta. On the practical sidq the coach can release the performer from the stress of having to organise getting to regattas:- dealing with accommodati on / flight/ ferry bookings, transporrarion of boas, customs, rcgatta officialdom and so on. During practice regattas, the coach can keep the sailor on track during debriefings. since it is often difficult for the competitive sailor to switch off from result-getting and to focus on what needs to be practiced. Also the coach helps to sort out big problems by assisting the sailor in breaking them down into small achievable chunks, which can be worked on day by day. During both grooming and peak regattassailors need motivation and inspiration. The coach needs to tread a fine l i n e b e t r n ' e e ne n c o u r a g e m e n t a n d r e a i i s m i n o r d e r t o preserve the confidence that the sailor must have. Above all, the coach needs to be accessibleon good andbad days.The careful management of the sailors' self esteem is critical to performance. If the coach gets it right it turns into inspiration. By the time the peak regatta comes round, the coach will already have experience ofthe way that stressaffects the sailor, and will be able to help them to cope with the experience Even so, the sailor's emotions are quite likely to swing easily from high to low, and the coach needs to constantly reinforce confidence at this time. At a peak regatta, the coach can be particularly helpful in discussing strategies and working out points situations for a team which, through stress,can become blinkered when assessingoptions.

Post-regatta Everysailorwho hascommittedhim/herself completelyand has made sacrificesin the hope of winning the peak regatta, endsup havinggreatdifficultiesin adjustingback to "normal" life whether they win or lose Most sailorsstopsailingfor a while. Somestop foreverHow the coachcan help is to stayin touch and listen.A little care at this time will help stabilisethe sailor and reducethe time that they stayawayfrom the sport. In some cases,professional counsellingmight help. Sailingcanbe a lifetime sport,but only if the sailors can overcomethe post-regattablues.

Conclusion A coach cannot win. Only the sailorscan win. But a coach can help unlock the potential in a sailor,or help make the natural sailor into a top sailor That is the realvalue ofcoaching.

The 470 Scene Newsand Viewsfrom the Penof Colin Brewer Our classAGM took place at Rota in Spain on the fgth April L992, the President, Heinz Staudt, opened the meeting and welcomed the delegates. I-ater, after a long day of debate and discussion, the report was drawn up which you will seewritten bY Heinz Staudt and Georg Tallberg. The main points of the report are various ruie modifications that were passed and a proposal for an official representative on the committee boat to ensure correct and good starts and provide good liaison at our regattas - a proposal well worth endorsing especially considering the amount of problems we have had lately on these points with organizers who do not understand the 470 class. On one point for debate I sincerelY believe that its time for the class to think about having our own race management team for the Europeans and Worlds, people who understand high level dinghy racing and a jury that works on the 470 circuit. We should have our own race officer, our own measurement team (which would notbe so hard to achieve), some younger sailors should be encouragedto study and partake injury work with an experienced chairman. All ofour people involved should have good on-the-water experience and our juries should work from dorries and rubber boats.

Harsher Penalties On the regattafront, the measurement for theWorldswent fairly smoothlywith only the odd problem deliberatedfor hours bv the Spanish- so whats new!!

INMEMORY We have been greatly saddened to hear about the death of our friend Charles Vincent, a member of the Management Committee of the AS 470 France. He was President of the French A s s o c i a t i o nf r o m l 9 7 I t o 1 9 7 8a n d at the same time Secretary General of the 470 Internationai. He was one of the dynamic originators of the development of our classboth in France and all over the rvorld. Alain Corcuff Tht Gttman

Sponsors As the 470 circuit becomes more and more professional, then so must the management be. The Intemational need to look for sponsors to support these views - perhaps you have some good ideas for race management? - You do? - Good, then write in and let us know. Our class magazine appears under threat becauseof "costs'lI do not believe that we should forsake"The Times" as it is and go to a briefphotocopy sheet, so this is another point I need your suPPort on in order to continue our magazine. We need advertisers and I think that EVERY sailor can help with this your local companies with sailing interest may consrder placing just a small ad that

The'92 Olympics With the Olympic Games fast approaching and all the activity and preparation in the build-up for the Olympics, perhaps now is the time to reflecton the Games themselves,what they mean to us as a class, and if our status changed what would the reaction be to the 470. I havespokento many sailorson this point and the overallopinion is that the classneedsto stay Olympic, our class a n d t h e A s s o c i a t i o nb l e n d s s t r o n g l y with the Olympic spirit. Our sailors are hightly competitiveand need the challengeof the Olympics. So we must conrinueto fight to keep our top status. Barcelonalooks very much like being one of the strongestand bestsupported gamesof all timeswith a strongspectator element with an easydrive or flight to the Games.The city has been working at a feverishpace to comPlete the necessaryaccommodationand marinas for the start of the Games.There is an expressionin Spaincalled"Manana"but

that is not the case as the govemment and workers build up to make this a great soectacle. On the sailing front, the marinas and sailing facilities are all taking shape, the race area has been decided (hopefully pollution free), and I believe most countries have now decided on their representatives, both men and women. If we ran a quiz to determine: Who was the first 470 Olvmpic Gold m e d a l i s t ,w h o w o n t h e s i l v e ra n d b r o n z e and what year was the 470 first in the Olympics?, would any of you know the answers.Just a little bit of a mind teaser, perhaps you will write and let me know, before the next edition. Will Barcelona be the best qames "ever"?The Spanish say "Yes" - well I can't wait to find out.

The Can-Am regatta was the most popularwith,l0 boats from 11 countries. Strong winds dominated as ail 7 races were completed over the four days. Morgan Reeserand Kevin Bumham won with Herman Johannesson from Norway second. The Can-Ams were also part of O l y m p i c s e l e c t i o n[ o r t h e C a n a d i a n Team and most of the fleet travelled South. Fort Lauderdale was also extremely windy with large waves prior to the event, but it settled down to provide a series in light winds [or the 30 comperirors. Alamitos Bay was the final selection regatta for the Canadian Olympic Team and many Americans used it as a timeup for their trials which followed a week later The regatta had 6-8 knots with chop and an ocean swell underneath.

t the 1976Games,sailed on Lake Ontario, Australia made a solid start into the 470 Olympic scene with a Bronze

medal going to two New South Wales sailors. Ian Brown and Ian Ruff won bronze that year, the same year that the 470 made it's debut in the Olympics. Ian Brown will be on Australia's Coaching staff in Barcelona. It was the same games that our now famous America's Cup Skipper John Bertrand won Bronze in the Finn Class. Brown and Ruff's medal made Australian Dinghy sailors flock to Andre Cornu's design and it looked as though Australia was set to be a dominant force in the class for years to come. All of Australia's great up and coming Dinghy sailors jumped into the class and the class flourished. Gary Gietz, Peter Holmes, Frank Bucek al1tried their hand and seemed to show promise on the international scene. In 1980 the Austraiian Yachting Federation held their Olympic Selection trials and a large fleet of all Olympic Classes took part. The 470 had a very tight battle with the result coming down to the last heat.The winners were decided and the parties were held and much beer consumed as is the practice in Australia. Two young Yachties-Gary Gietz and GregJohns won the 470 spot and looked toward the Moscow games. GregJohns will also be on the Australian Coaching staff in Barcelona.
