  • July Sou'wester for Email
    July 2005 Official Publication of Alamitos Bay Yacht Club memorial day re g a tta 2005 Volume 78 • Number 7 by Chris Ericksen Photos by Rich Roberts ne hundred fifty one boats in seventeen divisions competed in the 2005 ABYC Memorial Day Regatta the weekend of Saturday and Sunday, May 28-29. O The turnout was the largest for this regatta since 1981 and featured not only a total of 51 Naples Sabots but also 35 catamarans, the largest turnout for multihulls in recent memory. ABYC’s Memorial Day Regatta has replaced what was the Hurricane Gulch Regatta for the local Hobie Cat sailors, and so there were not only Hobie Tigers sailing in a combined Formula 18 catamaran fleet but also some vener- able Hobie 16’s, which are experiencing quite a renaissance. While ABYC members Jeff Newsome and Tom DeLong made the jump into Sixteen’s for the weekend, the winner was a team with a familiar last name: Alter. Jeff and Cody Alter won in the eleven-boat class invented by the legendary Hobie Alter while Newsome took third. The eleven Formula 18’s also saw some familiar names as Dan DeLave and Eileen Haubl took second to Keith and Kurt Christiansen among the 11 cats in the division. Even the top three A-Cats had familiar ABYC names: Pete Melvin topped the fleet ahead of Pease Glaser in second and Jay Glaser in third. On Alamitos Bay, there were five divisions of Naples Sabots. Current ABYC Club Champions Freddie and Fred Stevens were one-two in the Senior Sabots, but Fred IV carded five firsts in six races while Fred III won on a tiebreaker with Jane MacNaboe.

In these cases, the discretionary penalty, if less than disqualification, will be represented by the scoring abbreviation “DPI”.

An exciting summer of sailing, adventure, friendship, and fun awaits you whether you are a first-time sailor or are returning to continuing building your skills. We have worked hard to develop a youth sailing program that is fun, challenging, and safe. Our program is designed to teach solid sailing fundamentals, instill Corinthian spirit, and respect the marine environment. Our instructors are ready to challenge you to work hard, play hard and learn something new each day! There is tremendous satisfaction, pride and empowerment that come with learning to sail a boat on your own. This handbook has been designed to help you prepare for a great sailing experience and will also be a useful reference as your child progresses through the program. Learning to sail will be quite different than anything your kids have done before and the sport is loaded with unusual terms and equipment to learn about. We’ve included a lot of reference information in this guide that you can use with your kids. We are always looking for ways to improve what we do for the kids and an important way we gauge our success is by feedback from parents and our young sailors. Please contact me by phone or email with any comments, suggestions or issues you may have.

    February 2007 Official Publication of Alamitos Bay Yacht Club boxing day regatta 2007 Volume 80 • Number 2 Finn wins ABYC’s mad Boxing Day scramble of 63 boats Rich Roberts photos ould a Naples Sabot beat a Melges 24? Would a Lido 14 have a chance against an F24 trimaran? And who would have figured a couple of singlehanded Finns to rule among a mix of 63 boats ranging from 8 to 37 feet? COnly in Alamitos Bay Yacht Club’s annual post-Christmas Boxing Day Regatta Dec. 30, where size and design stood on their heads as slower little boats enjoyed their moments in the sun while big and fast played mostly futile catch- up in a light-air scramble around the bays. The boats were sent off on inverted starts based on Portsmouth handicaps for a 100-minute race. The course started in Alamitos Bay and ran the channel down to Naples Bay and back until time ran out. When the finish horn blew, Chris Raab, sailing an Olympic-class Finn, had a victorious 100-yard lead over Jerry Thompson’s Snipe, with Mandi Smith as crew. Henry Sprague was third in another Finn, followed by Eric Conn’s Mercury and the first keelboat, Jerry Montgomery’s Etchells. Then came Steve Washburn’s Lido 14 and four Sabots, which started first. Mark Golison’s Melges 24, the scratch boat starting last with six family members aboard, spotted the slowest boats—class C3 Sabots and a single Cape Cod Frosty—a 74-minute head start. Working their blue and white spinnaker for all it was worth in the two knots of wind, the Golisons sailed faster than anyone but just fast enough to finish mid- fleet.

  • January 2019
    January 2019 Official Publication of Alamitos Bay Yacht Club Volume 92 • Number 1 boxing dayrace 2018 Brooke Jolly photos symmetric spinnakers, gaff rigs, bow sprits, code zeroes, bloopers, trapezes - the Boxing Day race had it all. Fifty- nine boats in eighteen different classes entered the Alamitos Bay Yacht Club’s 19th Annual Boxing Day Pursuit A Race. Once again sailors arrived with an assortment of the normal and not so normal boats providing a challenge for the handicappers. Boats ranged from the easy to rate Naples Sabots and Lidos, to the foiling A Class Catamaran and the modified Soling. A perfect winter’s day greeted the sailors with blue skies and no wind. But the forecast was for the wind to fill for the 1pm start with gusts to 8 knots before the end of the day. The Race Committee was kept busy getting the fifty-nine boats underway with over twenty separate starts some only one minute apart. The Sabot, Optimists and Lidos were divided into sub-classes to provide opportunities for the less experienced sailors to win. The pursuit race format builds the handicap into each boat’s starting time. Boats are started in reverse order of their speed; the slower boats racing for over two hours, and the faster boats such as the foiling A Class catamaran for only about an hour. As each class’s assigned start time arrived, they lined up and tried to catch the slower boats that had started ahead of them while trying to avoid being caught by the faster boats behind them.
