Volume 80 Issue 8 Volume A U G U S T 2 0 2 0 mentor harbor newsletter 80-8 C O M M O D O R E ' S R E P O R T R C M I C H A E L P E T T R E Y To sum up the 2020 season so far words like change, growth, and opportunity come to mind. With the wonderful weather we have had so far this boating season it almost seems too perfect given the state of the world right now, however, this hasn't stopped Mentor Harbor. Our members have been really utilizing the club, when you take a walk around you can see so much activity, everywhere, from the docks to the west beach. With the addition of the Adirondack chairs and firepits I have seen everything happening at the west beach from family parties, yoga, bonfires, raft off gatherings, to our own Vice Commodore's 40ish birthday party. With the rapid growth in membership our docks are filling up quickly and we are very focused on getting the power fixed on the east beach to help create more dockage for our current members and for new membership coming in. This will be another part of MHYC that I can't wait to see being used! As the end of summer approaches many of our staff will be going back to school and due to the pandemic we had to, unfortunately, cancel our employee party. But I wanted to take a moment and personally thank this years staff as they have done a great job of keeping our club safe and clean to help keep us all healthy. You all have gone above and beyond with service this year, and for that, Thank you! If you feel the same as me, in lieu of the employee party, we are asking for donations of any size to send the staff off with something a little extra this year. Just email Charlie Davis at [email protected] to let him know you would like to contribute. And in closing I would like to say great job to the Crow's Nest Sail Camp this year for a successful "normal" to a pretty "abnormal" summer. You all did a fantastic job and I am excited to see what Fall programs you have in place. Thank you again to our members and staff to this season of change, growth and opportunity, we couldn't have done it without you. Rear Commodore Michael Pettrey M.H.Y.C.

BLANCHARD M.D , PC – FLEET SURGEON SAFETY FIRST Janet M. Blanchard M.D , PC – Fleet Surgeon Finally, we have incurred some beautiful weather and it is very nice to see all the boats in the harbor. This year, however, not only do we have to worry about safety but also safety during this continuing coronavirus outbreak. There are a few safety measures which I cannot stress enough: 1.Life jackets for children under the age of eight should be worn!! This is especially true early in the season due to the temperature of the water. 2.Please do NOT strap infants and young children in the stroller while walking down the dock. If, by chance, the stroller ends up in the water, the infant cannot get out! 3.MEDICAL EQUIPMENT AND AED’S. There are medical equipment boxes located at the end of every dock and on the East Beach. (If it ever opens!) 4.AED’S: (Automatic External Defibrillators) are located in the following locations: All should be marked: A) Lobby – As you go down the steps to the spinnaker room B) Gas Dock C) Behind the pool deck bar 5.EpiPens -Are located in the same locations as AED’S and, also, in the business office. 6.There are Orange Buoy Rings located in the same place as the medical equipment. 7.Please check your fire extinguisher’s expiration date. 8.First Aid Boxes should be a must on all boats. 9.CO monitors should be a must. If you have ever had CO poisoning, you will remember it and it can be deadly!! If you are underway and have a canvas on the back, make sure you have good ventilation. CPR CLASSES: Will be given to the Staff. (The pool staff is already CPR certified) We will set up classes for the Members as the season progresses. Be safe and Have a Wonderful Season!!

The race runs south past Miami and slowly bends towards the west along the Keys for 160 NMs. This year Meridian XI started in an easterly wind with all the boats jib reaching. Within a few miles boats started setting their reaching spinnakers. For Meridian that meant a FR0 (fractional zero). A similar boat to Meridian XI, the Dunning 42 Baby B., was the competition for Meridian for the complete race. Unfortunately, there was never a chance to compare speeds in the reaching spinnaker configuration because a squall hit soon after setting the sails. The squall took out the FR0, and when the FRO blew up the single fractional halyard also broke. Without that halyard we were not able to set the other reaching spinnaker, the A5. We watched the Dunning sail away from us with their zero set while we jib reached behind them. It seemed to take forever for the course to bend around far enough to set the masthead A 1.5 spinnaker and begin to make ground on Baby B. The Gulf Stream flows hard to the north just a short distance out from the reef.

  • Wave and Welcome to the HOBIE® Sailing Family
    WELCOME TO THE HOBIE WAY OF LIFE Congratulations on the purchase of your new Wave and welcome to the HOBIE® sailing family. The HOBIE Wave cannot be outgrown. It can be sailed by children up through senior citizens. A 90-pound youth can han- dle it easily – a single adult can sail it at top performance – and a crew of four can cruise in comfort. We offer this manual as a guide to increased safety and enjoyment of your new boat. The purpose of this pub- lication is to provide easy, simple and accurate instructions on how to get your Wave ready for the water. Please read them carefully and familiarize yourself with the boat and all of the parts spread before you. Whether you are a new sailor or a veteran of many years, we recommend that you read this thoroughly before your first sail and TRY IT OUR WAY FIRST! If you are new to sailing, this manual alone is not intended to teach you how to sail. There are many excellent books, videos and courses on the safe handling of small sail- boats. We suggest that you contact your local sailboat dealer, college or Coast Guard Auxiliary for recommen- dations. Watch for overhead wires whenever you are rigging, launching, sailing or trailering with the mast up. CON- TACT OF THE MAST WITH POWER LINES COULD BE FATAL! Be certain that the rigging area and the area that you will be sailing in are free of overhead power lines. Report any such power lines to your local power authority and SAIL ELSEWHERE.
