Fourth Quarter 2012 from the Editor As Many of You Have Heard, Travis
Fourth Quarter 2012 From the Editor As many of you have heard, Travis purchased a brand new boat. Not a good used boat, but a boat straight off the line. The boat, a Catalina 315, was christened "Kestrel" last month by one of the officers in the 60th Force Support Squadron. It replaces the much aged and badly damage 30 foot "Warrior". I have had the opportunity to sail her once. Because the boat is brand new, the Marina is going to be a bit more touchy about who sails her. Sailing "Kestrel" requires a checkout. Being checked out on "Warrior" does not qualify. "Kestrel" is very different. For Volunteer Skipper sails, normally two checked out crew members will be required. For the time being, classes will still be held on the old 27 foot boats. Students will then need to sail a few times with checked out skippers before advancing to getting checked out themselves. This is not a hazing program; this is designed to preserve a brand new asset. The biggest news this last quarter and the beginning of this one? The America's Cup. For two weeks, the medium size boats have been ripping across the waters of the bay. (I say "medium" because next year they will bring the "big" boats.) Some of our club members have participated by working the course. Some have been spectating from shore. Some of us have been watching from boats on the water. And some of use just watch it on television. No doubt these races are very different from America's Cup races in the past. -

Celebrating Opening Day 2017 Welcome Aboard! Greetings and Welcome to Seattle Yacht Club Opening Day 2017 Welcome to Seattle Yacht Club’s Opening Day of Boating. This week we celebrate an activity we enjoy in a city and a region worth celebrating. When gazing on our pristine waters lined with emerald-colored trees, what else can we say but “aah”. How lucky can we be? Okay, the traffic can be a bit wicked. Opening Day has evolved and grown over the years and is a Northwest treasure. It is a privilege for the Seattle Yacht Club to organize it. We are grateful to the over 200 volunteer members of SYC that take a year to plan and organize this event. From the Windermere crew races to the Boat Parade; from the Opening Ceremony to the Awards and Closing Ceremonies, Opening Day is a family-focused, fun-filled day for anyone that Thank you for joining us at Seattle Yacht Club for Opening Day loves boating, loves watching boats or would rather just sit on 2017.

The Club That “Went to Sleep”
Chapter 2 THE CLUB THAT “WENT TO SLEEP” From what has been related in the first chapter it is clearly evident that the Geelong Yacht Club was at a very low ebb in 1869 and from that time until 1880 there is no evidence to show that a Yacht Club was in existence in Geelong. On the other hand there is strong evidence to suggest that the Geelong yachtsmen of the day continued to indulge in their favourite sport by participating in Geelong regattas and also taking part in manoeuvres and sailing matches conducted by the Port Phillip Yacht Club, later to be known as the Victoria Yacht Club and now known as the Royal Yacht Club of Victoria. But, as the purpose of this volume is to not only record the history of the Royal Geelong Yacht Club but also to record the history of sailing on Corio Bay it is perhaps appropriate to relate something of the aquatic events which took place during the period 1870-1880. The 1870 Geelong Regatta was obviously a very gay affair but, once again, we see a very small entry in the main event, the Yacht Race. However, in contrast to the previous year, there was a very good attendance. So it would seem that the criticism levelled by the Geelong Advertiser reporter in 1869, when the drapers refused to close their doors, had been heeded. It is also interesting to note that Captain Nicholson, the last-named Commodore of the Geelong Yacht Club, was the judge and Mr. Farrell, the G.Y.C. -

“Boys in the Boat” - Scenes in Seattle
“Boys in the Boat” - Scenes in Seattle Many guests visiting Seattle these days have read the recent best-selling book The Boys in the Boat: Nine Americans and their Epic Quest for Gold at the 1936 Berlin Olympics by Daniel James Brown. This fascinating non-fiction book is about the University of Washington crew team that overcame great odds to get to Germany and win the 1936 Olympic gold medal. Spend an afternoon exploring north Seattle and see some highlights from the book. Drive by historic Roosevelt High School, where team member Joe Rantz graduated, walk the nearby, beautiful University of Washington (UW) campus, see the original winning shell built by George Pocock, rent a boat at the UW Waterfront Activities center during the nicer weather months, and make a stop at a local favorite, Agua Verde, for lunch or cocktails and maybe a kayak rental. University of Washington, www.washington.edu UW is also known as U-Dub to the locals. This university enrolls 45,000 students, and the main entrance is located at 17th Ave. NE and NE 45th Street. Its western border is Lake Washington and the southern border is the Montlake Cut, which is the body of water connecting Lake Washington and Lake Union, and where the UW crew team used to row. UW Waterfront Activities Center, https://www.washington.edu/ima/wac/ This building was originally a seaplane hangar built by the Navy in WWI and became the Canoe House which was where the original 1936 crew team practiced. It is now open to the public during the nicer months of the year and is used as a canoe and rental facility. -
