{} #yiv9676668705 Actually it is Main Trimmer. The three sails on a canoe are
the jib, fore, and main, with the largest being the fore. You will also see a
‘kite’ which is launched off the top of the foremast and a staysail which is
flown like a mizzen staysail on a yawl. And, you’re right. Light weight is
important. And most often, she sits on the stern pulpit, goes out there before
the race starts and stays. You may notice on some of Joe’s pictures that there
are some small boats where the main is trimmed by somebody more forward through
a block at the aft end of the pulpit. The boat I was on used to squat badly and
often she got a bath – when the water was cool, she wore foul weather bib
overalls and taped the bib legs around her ankles to avoid getting a bath.The
races are usually about 2 hours long – they race at about 10 am to noon, go in
for lunch, then go back out around 2. Two races on Saturday and one on Sunday
is the norm. Almost every boat has a tender – you saw Midnight Lace which tows
one of the North family boats ( #9 or 15 or 4) out and back (that was the black
boat with the little sitting area in the bow). They have two other smaller
boats for the others. And, each boat has a log bottom, even the newly built
ones – CBMM built a small one a couple years ago and is finishing a 5 log one
right now. It is about 33’ or so long, not counting the bowsprit (with the jib
extending forward of that) and the pulpit. If anyone is interested, there’s a
great book by John North II called Tradition, Speed and Grace which documents
the boats, the history and has an impressive selection of pictures and prints
of paintings of the canoes. John’s family has been involved with canoes for
about 80 years, and he is still the skipper of Island Bird – he’s in his ‘80’s.

Subject: Re: Stus-List [EXTERNAL] Re: Log Canoe Race Photos Looks to be the
safest too! What is the name for this person's job...Mizzen Trimmer? I
notice that most of the boats delegate this to a lighter type person, usually
female...how does she get out there and does she stay there all day?

Subject: Re: Stus-List [EXTERNAL] Re: Log Canoe Race Photos Most of the canoes
still have most of their wood in the hulls, some have been sheathed in
fiberglass, but they still flex. (there is often a bailer person keeping them
dry). The one I was on leaked between some of the logs. Very high
maintenance.They have a handicap system, which uses the length, width at
certain points, and so forth. Sail area is not counted, that is up to the
braveness of the owner and crew. The number 9 boat in Joe’s pictures is a
steady winner – the family which owns it has two others as well. There is no
way they are casual – as there is only a centerboard (about 8 feet deep,
pivoting, with a cord of two feet or so – no ballast in them), the hiking
boards as shown (usually more of them – from two to four) are the ballast with
crew scrambling out to steady the boats and then scrambling down, taking the
boards out from under the gunwale and sliding them to the other side when they
change course. Most of them are not steady enough to stay upright when the
masts are up (spruce, hollow, works of art) without having the boards laying
across them. The masts are raised by hand – generally about a dozen people
hauling them up – pivoting on the mast step. They are tender and fast! When
they tip over, they must be disassembled and taken to shore or a dock and then
reassembled for the next race. Awesome to watch and exciting to race upon.

Subject: [EXTERNAL] Re: Stus-List Log Canoe Race Photos Joe; fascinating
photos...thank you ro sharing these; we certainly have nothing remotely close
to that kind of racing around here...; are these boats used just for racing or
are they used for casual sailing etc.; They look to be high maintenance! How
are the races scored? Richards/v Bushmark4: 1985 C&C 37 CB: Ohio River, Mile
