Comeback class: Cape Cod's classic one-design

Article Abstract:

The Fleet Roster of the Wianno Senior Class, which dates back to hull number one, Sirocco built in 1914 is tied to a rich tradition of sailing on the waters around Cape God in Massachusetts and its sailors have maintained fairly detailed records of their old one-design. Ethel Kennedy owned hull number 132 was lost with 20 other Wiannos and a slew of other classics in a fire at Crosby Yachts in Osterville on 10 December 2003, a dark day for the Cape boating community.

Flying on water

Article Abstract:

A pair of shock absorbers is the secret to L'Hydroptere's performance. The difference on l'Hydroptere is a pair of shock absorbers, one at each foil-to-beam connection and when the pressure on a foil hits a certain level, the foil will retract up to two feet, easing the load.
