Hurricane Camille drove in from the Gulf of Mexico and obliterated the Mississippi and Alabama Coast. destroying five of our fellow yacht clubs. I am sure that in the past such a hurricane has destroyed maybe one or two other yacht clubs. but never in the history of yacht racing have five clubs been destroyed in one evening. Three of these clubs were completely destroyed and now are only a clean spot of ground. The only way you can tell that anything was there before is the fact that there is no grass on the ground where they once stood. Two of the other yacht clubs were torn apart to such a degree that they will have to be completely rebuilt. The support of you and your club and its members is desperately need­ ed to help rebuild these clubs. The completely destroyed clubs were the Pass Christian Yacht Club.

On behalf of the GYA Executive Commit- tee, GYC Flag Officers and Board of Directors, Management and Staff, as well The Regatta and Race Committees, we look forward to this weekend’s festivities and hope you have a great time at their beautiful Club.

The yacht owners and crew making a commitment to competing in the GYA Offshore Regatta is extensive, from an expense and time commitment to get their boats ready, deliver them and develop a support team. The GYA thanks you for all you do each year to attend and compete as well as participate in this regatta.

    2014 Gulf Yachting Association Directory In Memory of Southern Yacht Club New Orleans, Louisiana Walter G. Chamberlain April 8, 1946 - November 20, 2013 The Gulf Yachting Association and all of those involved in the sport of sailing lost a true friend last November. During the last 40 years, anyone associated with the GYA during that time knows how much Walter contributed to this organization. In addition to his sailing accomplishments and being a Gulf Yachting Association foremost expert on the racing rules, Walter served as a Mrs. Janace Batty, Secretary/Treasurer judge, race officer, GYA parliamentarian and as 5171 Eagle Point Drive Grand Bay, AL 36541 Commodore of our association. We will truly miss him. GULF YACHTING ASSOCIATION The Gulf Yachting Association was organized to promote the sport of yacht racing on the Gulf Coast and in nearby areas. Founded in 1901 and reorganized in 1920, the GYA has grown from the original six clubs to over thirty member organizations. The GYA sanctions various yachting events, including interclub competition in one design and handicap rated yachts, and serves to coordinate the activities of its members. The GYA is a member of the United States Sailing Association (US Sailing), the governing body of the sport in this country, and is recognized as a member “yacht racing association” (YRA) of that organization. As a member YRA, the GYA provides representation to US Sailing for its sailors, encourages participation in national championships sanctioned by US Sailing, and provides an Appeals Committee to decide appeals involving the racing rules. The GYA is one of four yacht-racing associations forming “Area D”, one of eleven areas in the United States.

  • NEW ORLEANS NOSTALGIA Remembering New Orleans History, Culture and Traditions by Ned Hémard
    NEW ORLEANS NOSTALGIA Remembering New Orleans History, Culture and Traditions By Ned Hémard Sir Thomas Lipton, Once a New Orleans Streetcar Driver If you’ve ever had tea (hot or iced), you’re likely to associate the “Lipton brand” name with inexpensive boxes of individual tea bags and the slogan, “Brisk Lipton Tea”. But a century ago, the name “Lipton” stood for the largest chain of grocery stores in the world. And the company’s founder, Thomas J. Lipton (May 10, 1848 – 2 October 1931), was perhaps the most loved and admired man on the planet. A marketing genius, he discovered how to brand himself. Sir Thomas J. Lipton, the man and the brand Sir Thomas Johnstone Lipton, 1st Baronet, KCVO (Knight Commander of the Royal Victorian Order), born into poverty to parents who had fled Northern Ireland and the Irish famine of the 1840s, was also one of New Orleans’ most celebrated streetcar drivers. Sir Thomas Lipton, famous multimillionaire tea merchant and yachting enthusiast, was employed as a mule-driver on the New Orleans and Carrollton Railroad (now the St. Charles Avenue streetcar line). It is because mules and horses were used in New Orleans that locals still say “streetcar” instead of “trolley.” Trolleys are the electrified version, which were introduced in New Orleans on February 1, 1893. A special song, the “Trolley Polka,” was written to celebrate the event, but New Orleanians stuck to calling them streetcars. Thomas J. Lipton was born the youngest of five children in Glasgow, Scotland, May 10, 1848, although he would later state his birth year as 1850.

  • The 33Rd Annual Lake Pontchartrain Racing Circuit!
    Welcome to the 33rd annual Lake Pontchartrain Racing Circuit! 33 years ago, in 1985 the LPRC was formed, “To foster yacht racing on Lake Pontchartrain at the highest level of competition and to cause New Orleans Yacht Club, Pontchartrain Yacht Club, South- ern Yacht Club and Tammany Yacht Club to work together toward the common goal of sponsoring a successful annual racing circuit.” The Regatta Chairman then was Stewart R. (Tootie) Barnet, Jr. The vison then, and now, was to conduct a PHRF Regatta on Lake Pontchartrain with two primary purposes – to promote the highest level of competition on Lake Pontchartrain. And equally import- ant - to promote social interaction among Lake Pontchartrain Yacht Clubs. The GYA’s Capdevielle Interclub Championship has similar goals for one design regattas. These types of interclub regattas promote interaction between area Yacht Clubs and foster lasting personal relationships between members of differing clubs. There’s also a degree of competition among LPRC yacht clubs who are proud to show off their club’s resources. The original 1985 LPRC was a three-weekend event. Today, the LPRC has responded to competitors’ suggestions and evolved into a 3-day event with three Divisions: Spinnaker, Non-Spinnaker, and Racer / Cruiser. The cornerstone of the event is the distance race across Lake Pontchartrain. The distance race between clubs accomplishes LPRC’s second mandate – “to cause New Orleans Yacht Club, Pontchartrain Yacht Club, Southern Yacht Club and Tammany Yacht Club to work together toward the common goal of sponsoring a successful annual racing circuit.” The LPRC Regatta Committee has been planning and working on this regatta over the last 6 months.
