The OlympicRegaltais like no otherin sailingin that the sailorsare representingtheir nationand the eyes of the world are on their performance. This can create psychologicalpressuresthat has causedsome great sailorsto overlooktheir years of practiceand testingand to go for something new - a sail, mast,boat or foil in the hopethat it will give them a fractionmore speed. Often it does not; and thereare numeroustalesof people endingup with somethingslower.

As you are well aware peoplein the GroupJ and GroupK are relatively s m a l l e ri n b o d ys i z ea n d l i g h t e ri n b o d yw e i g h t i, n comparisonwith biggerand heavierwesterners.This is why the nationsof GroupJ and GroupK have been concentrating on dinghies,the classeswherewe think we havefairerchancesfor winningin the Olympic races. Our OlympicTrainingProgrammehas been concentrated on developingdinghyclasses. We don't have Keelboatsfor whichwe needtallerand heavier racers. Rumouris afootthat westernnationsare tryingto drop dinghiesf rom the year 2004Olympics,so that they may get more medals. lf this is true,it is too seriousa situationas leadersof the sailingworld,we mustthinkof biggerview for our sportof sailing.

Once a sailor has mastered the skills necessaryto sail a boat around a course, the task is to discoverhow to sail fast by developinga combination of boat speed and boat handling techniquesto tack and gybe, sail in different wave patterns and allow for and exploitcurrents. Sailors specialise in clouds, assessing positionof land masses, amount of sun, and movement of high and low pressuresto predictmajorwind shifts,wind bends and oscillations.Under the subjectof boat speed,the effectof differentrigs, sails and foils providesendless combinationsfor testingon the water or in wind tunnels and water tanks.

MAKINGMEDALSS KEY TO SUCCESS Victor sees his place on earth as being a coach. That Victor is a successfulcoach is beyond doubt but how is that successachieved?Victorindicatedthat it takestime to build success,he had hoped to start work in Australiaa year earlier, in October 1996, but the funding was not available.People had said to him that in the Ukrainehe had only iwo teams to coach so it was easy! He was o f f e r e d m a n y b u s i n e s s o p p o r t u n i t i e sa f t e r t h e 1 9 9 6 Olympicsbut he wantedto provethat he couldsucceedas a coach with a big team in which each person had the same chanceto succeed.In Australiathere were 12 470s in the team. Victorconsidersthat his most importantrole as coach is to assist individualsmaking the changes to themselvesto enablethem to achievea medal.Victorpointsthe sailors, who are all very talented, in the right direction.The personalapproachto sailorsis criticaland it takes great time and effort. In the case of Jenny Armstrongand BelindaStowellwho had been sailing60 foot boats and startedtheir Olympic campaignin 1997,Victorvolunteered,that he was initially scepticalthat they wouldsucceed.Jennywas working,she had no sponsorshipand Victorwas not sure they had the will to succeed. Victortold the teams not to worry about the equipmentas that would come in time as they demonstratedtheir ability.

In this time they createda sailingcentreconsistingof a marquee,tents,portakabins new slipwaysinto LakeGarda.and dinghyparkjust northof Malcesine.The Presidentof FragliaVela,Giamni Testaand his team out all the availableresources intomakingthe Championship a success. The Championships attracted113 teamsfrom 33 nationsincludingcountlessWorld& Continental Championsfrom a wide rangeof classes.With free food and beerfor the competitors, only the wind failedto performto schedule.The locals startedby sayingyour clockcan be set by the appearanceof the Ora blowingfrom Southto Northat 13.00hrsreplacingthe northerly,Peler, whichcomesdown from the magnificent mountains.After5 days the race management decldedto startracingat 9.00amin the brisk northerlymorningwinds.However,it was not possibleto completeall the scheduledraces. A totalof 30 racesin the Men & Mixedteamswere run by the organisersin a wide range successfully of wind conditions.

WB.SAILS TEST RIG W B - S a i l sa, s a i ll o f ti n F i n l a n ds p e c i a l i z i ni g n racingand one-designsails(www.wb-sails.fi), has performedwind tunneltestson a scaled down 470 model.The rig was a very accurate modelof a full size 470, with similarbending characteristics, adjustablespreaders,mast partners,shroudtensionetc. The hullwas a more basicrepresentation of the real boat, but care was takenthat the relativeoositions of the maststep,shroudplates,mast partners etc. were correct,to ensure realistictrimmingof the sails. The modelwas equippedwith all normalsail controlslike outhaul,boomvang, c u n n i n g h a mj i,b h a l y a r d tensionetc.,and the main and jib sheetswere adjusted from outsidethe tunnelbv radiocontrol.Eventhe sailclothwas scaledso that realisticstretchcharacteristic couldbe obtainedat the test wind s p e e d s( 1 1t o ' 1 9 m / s ) .S o t h e sailswere cut in Optimistcloth. from the same "molds"as the real ones.
P U R P O S EO F T E S T I N G The main purposeof the testingwas to obtain empiricaldatafor the validationand development of the aerodynamicsimulationcode MacSail (seewww.wbsails.f i/news/95_1 1_MacSail /MacSail.html) and to gain understanding about sail aerodynamics in general. TESTING Over 20 differenttestswere oerformed.at wind anglesrangingfrom closehauledto broad reaching,compilingthousandsof measurements altogether. The testswere monitoredwith video camerasabovethe modelon windwardand leewardsides(to recordthe sail shape),as well as with a videocamerafrom outsidethe tunnel;more than 15 hoursof videowas recorded.

Note how in the max drive case,an entirerow of tell tailsis stalledon the leewardside of the main,washedby the tip vortexof the hardsheetedjib.
