Sailing Through

When Sam Wheeler is
racing on the Cavalier he is
a jib trimmer, which means
that he is in charge of the
big sail on the front of the
boat which requires constant
adjustment
I asked Sam how he
started sailing and he said "I
grew up on the beach with a
love for all water sports and
because my parents brought
me up in the local yacht club
one of the things I did was
sail. My parents bought me
a boat and I fell in love with

sailing. "
The next question for
Sam was, "what do you like
about sailing?" He said,
"The sheer fact that it is just
you and God and your only
source of power is the wind
which He provides. I look
at it like the Christian walk.
You try to bridle the wind
with the sail of the boat, just
as you try to follow God's
lead for your life. To me
it's very relaxing and
serene."
In my interview with
Sam I asked him what his
favorite sailboat was. Sam
replied, "My favorite twelve
meter racing boat is stars
and stripes which won The
America's Cup. The type of
boat I race on is a Baltic 64,
name is Cavalier'." Sam'S
favorite sailor overall is Ted
Turner, but in light of recent
events Dennis Connor is his
favorite.
The weather is warming
up and for those of you who
want to start sailing the best
places to go would be Lake
Norman, outside of
Charlotte, or Lake Hartwell
in Georgia. But boats like
Sam sails on that are 64 feet
long would not make it in
these areas.
For the person who
wants to learn to sail there
are many schools they can
attend. One school that Sam
recommends is the
Chapman's School of
Sailing in Florida. The less
expensive route is to take a
sailing class form your local
Red Cross. For those of
you who like to splash a bit
in the water but don't want
the blisters on your hands
that you get from sailing,
you can simply charter a
boat. For more information
check a sailing magazine.
Lastly Sam told me about
some of the excitement in
sailing. "One of the most
exciting moves in
professional sailing is when
you and your competitor are
sailing to the leeward mark,
and he is just slightly ahead
on the port side. You tack
off to find clear air, and then
you pull up ahead a little and
you tack back on top of him
preforming a "slam dunk."
