Are you aware of any L16's in the Oklahoma area or within a 500 mile
radius? Thanks

Bob Wallstrom suggests try Mystic Seaport - Ships Plans - Maria Bernier. 
They have all the extant Luders plans.

Also, Bob Kach... I am the L-16 go to guy, having worked there, wrote 
the L-16 article that was published in WoodenBoat, and am working on a 
book about Luders.

Please tell me how that can get enunciated on the l-16 site.

Cheers,

MAINE LUDERS REFURBISHED, FRENCHMAN'S BAY FLEET REVIVED

Photo:  Luders #256 on the ways, West Cove Boat Yard, Sorrento, Maine

With the winter's refurbishing of Luders #256, ADAGIO, the Sorrento Yacht
Club's Luders fleet will be revived this summer. For several seasons, back
in the mid-1970s, a small fleet of Luders competed under the auspices of
this club, located on upper Frenchman's Bay in Maine. Two of these Luders
(Northeast Harbor nos. 10 & 24) have remained in local waters to this day.
On its arrival last summer, ADAGIO, frankly, looked a little worn. Under
Demilner's commission, it was completely redone in a thorough, if consuming,
way over the winter months. Now ADAGIO stands with the finest and, we hope,
will inspire other potential owners.

Early last summer Lawrence Demilner, of  adjacent Hancock Point,  had
purchased ADAGIO from an owner in Castine, Maine. Crewing on Mount Desert
Island Luders wetted his appetite for a little more local action. The owners
of the two remaining Luders readily agreed to revived racing as did
Sorrento Yacht Club officials. Later this week, another import is expected
to arrive from the Great Lakes to add to local numbers. It appears, too,
that two other Luders on the bay may occasionally come by to race. In
theory, this would make a fleet of 6 in all though all would not race
regularly.

Ludersdom will watch this revival with interest. We extend our thanks to
Demilner for his considerable efforts in the class.

Hello,

We have made some updates to the L16.org web site. Please see

	http://www.l16.org/RacingResults/Internationals/

for results from Luders Internationals. This table will be updated in
the days ahead to include more results as we locate them. Note that
the results from the very first Championship Regatta are available:

	http://www.l16.org/RacingResults/Internationals/1947/

In addition, there are scans of some original documents pertaining
to that regatta.

The History page:

	http://www.l16.org/History/

likewise has had scans of some documents added. More documents from
the Chicago fleet archives will be scanned and placed online as we
have time.

LUDERS REMAIN IN MAINE BURROWS

Mount Desert Island's June Luders series has been pretty much a fizzle. In
fact, totally a, er..washout.  Doomed  Weeks of rain and fog and gloom. Two
Saturday races cancelled thus far with a likely repeat for tomorrow. Maine
racers tend to be a hardy lot, but such prolonged dampness has thwarted boat
yards and owner's painting schedules. At this writing it appears that only
two boats are afloat; Tom Rolfes's PALADIN and the MDI- Community Sailing
Center's loan, WEETAMOE. In all some 6 were intended to be afloat and racing
by now. Winter fantasies awash.

Perhaps racers in Chicago and New Orleans will brighten our unhappy lot with
bright tales of spirited spring races.  How about updates here!

Two of the Sorrento Yacht Club Luders, north on Frenchman's Bay, have been
hauled out of their sheds and lie in waiting for agreeable launching
weather. These are ADAGIO (photo sent last week) and BAT - both
well-maintained jewels. The anticipated delivery of a Sodus, Great Lakes
Luders has been delayed for want of hauler. 

Eventually, the sun will appear and Maine Luders will bloom brightly.

Last week Tom and Ginny Rolfes hosted what was supposed to be a post-race
pot-luck /meeting at their home, SOME VIEW.  The race, of course, did not
materialize for want of sailing conditions. A fine gathering, nevertheless,
ensued. Under Tom's impetus (he is our fleet vice fleet captain), we will
enter the annual Mount Desert Hospice Regatta this July. It will also be our
regular race day which is convenient. The occasion seemed opportune to
invite the new Luders racers over from Frenchman's Bay - towing being a
contending obstacle.  An accompanying idea popped up also. Two of the 1912
Northeast Harbor 28-foot  A-class boats (of a high of 50)  remain in Mount
Desert waters and might be temped to race - starting just ahead or behind
Luders. Two other A-boats are in Frenchman's Bay and moored near the Luders
there. Perhaps, someone opined, we could arrange tows for these two and make
a fleet of 4 for the event. This would add much to the scenery and
excitement of the day, especially as all four A-boats are in like-new
condition. 

The upcoming nationals in Chicago was briefly discussed. Ann Waldron, our
fleet secretary, said she thought that Edward McCormick Blair, of Chicago,
would be glad to have us stay at his lake side home outside of Chicago. This
seemed a very generous possibity and will be pursued. Shortly, following
dessert, most racers departed for a lower room (our host's house is very
large) to fondle jibs. The Mount Desert Island Luders fleet uses working
jibs in its regular races (regattas being excepted). Unfortunately, there
seem many variations of the working jibs dimensions. Some racers have
reported problems with sheeting and Tom has spearheaded an effort to bring
uniformity  to  jibdom in this fleet. He is working closely with Will
Welles, a sail maker, to resolve this matter and has commissioned a New
Improved working jib which will be shared this summer.

In all, a fine evening adding new spirit to Mount Desert Luders racers.

Perhaps, distant fleets could - similarly - send accounts of their 2005
early season races.  We await!
