June 2016 Official Publication of Alamitos Bay Yacht Club opening day and Volume 89 • Number 6 raft up 2016 Kathy Robinson photos
n April 29th at 1200 hrs. the cannon marked the beginning of ABYC’s Opening Day and Raft-up Party. The Raft-up welcomed 32 Oparticipating boats. Jennifer Kuritz was the organizing Staff Commodore with Pat McCormick directing traffic and mooring location. Beer and brats were available for the participants and guests. Everyone seemed to have a terrific time thanks to Jennifer and Pat. That evening the party continued with burgers and beer. The bar was open on the patio with Kelly Fitzgerald playing into the night. I had many great compliments. The next morning was preparatory to the Club Championship Regatta known as the Kim Thompson Memorial Regatta. The regatta was sailed in Vipers supplied by the Viper Fleet thanks to Tim Carter. Tim got the Vipers together and worked on them to make them as equal as possible. Thanks to Tim. The regatta was sailed in the bay, went off without a hitch and in record time. Congratulations to Tim Carter and Steve Bloemeke, the winners of the Club Championship and the Kim Thompson Memorial Trophy. The trophy was awarded to the winners by Nancy Merrill and Brad Thompson, Kim’s mother and brother. At 1530 hrs. the ceremony began. We honored our Staff Commodores, senior members, regatta winners, members who passed during the year, club staff and visiting guests. Ron Wood and Vann Wilson were awarded the 2015 Jesse L. Carr Trophy take home plaques by Jr. Staff Commodore, PCYA Gary Green. Don Ryman gave a brief history of the past 90 years at the club and a very moving invocation. Yes we did run over the allotted 30 minutes and finished up with a P.A. system failure (the battery ran out). Instead of giving me the hook they just turned off the power to the P.A. system. After the ceremony the ABYC Staff Commodores upheld their tradition by pouring champagne but this is where we diverted from tradition slightly. In an attempt to move our guests out to the Raft-up, I decided to change the reception from the club patio to the boat yard and the ramp. The Staff Commodores poured champagne and hor d’oeuvres were available next to the ramp. In addition we did not have a bar available but we did have specialty drinks on the boats in the Raft-up. Many of the boats also had food onboard and a Passport was given to each guest. The passport was much like a bingo card allowing the guest to board boats in the Raft-up and receive a sticker for visiting that boat. The passport was very cleverly created and was well received as a fun item. Thanks to the Social Advisory Committee. The effort to entice our guests to visit our members on their boats in the Raft-up was a complete success. I received many compliments from both our guests and club members. I am hoping that we make this a tradition to establish how friendly our club is and of course how much ABYC Is The Place To Be!

ell, it’s hard to believe, but summertime is here folks! We’ve got a jam-packed couple of months ahead of us, and you don’t want to miss out on the action, so be sure to check W out our club calendar and the Weekly Reader to make sure you’re not missing anything. This month, we’ve got some exciting regattas to look forward to, including the Olympic Classes Regatta (in conjunction with the I-14 Nationals), the Men’s Day Regatta, and of course, Long Beach Race Week finishing up the month. We’ve also got our Lido Twillight Racing now in full swing on Thursday nights. For those of you that don’t know, the Galley is now open on Thursday nights from 5pm to 8:30pm, with dinner being served from 6pm to 8:30pm. We’ll have the dinner menu posted on the club calendar the weekend prior, and we ask that all of those who’d like to join us for twilight dinners make a reservation, either via the website, by e-mailing Sheila at [email protected], or calling us in the office. Those who make reservations will be given priority, so please be sure to plan ahead! On a different note, I would like to wish our long-time staff member Julissa a big “Congratulations” on her recent marriage to her long-time sweetheart. Julissa and Santos celebrated their commitment to one another with a beautiful wedding ceremony right here at the club on April 9th, with a grand reception at the Harbor Reef restaurant following the ceremony. It was a lovely wedding and a wonderful evening, and we wish the very best to the happy couple in their future together! Cheers to Julissa and Santos! Tori

ell, the Basin is free of ice and the bay clear of flotsam and jetsam! The 2016 Sailing season is officially open at ABYC! W I would like to thank all of you, members and guests, who attended our 89th Opening Day celebrations. Each and every one of you made it a special day. The raft-up party went smoothly with the help of Pat McCormick and his crew. Seeing them work out the puzzle of yacht placement was truly a sight to behold! The BBQ and party Friday Night was great fun for all. Saturday was our first attempt using the Vipers (thank you owners) for the Fleet championship was a total success! I am happy to report that there was no carnage on the course. The ceremony on Saturday afternoon went off without a hitch. There is nothing like seeing all of us in our blues and whites (once a year) celebrating what we love and support. The raft-up party after the celebration was a great deal of fun and lasted into the late evening. Good food and beverages were served to our members and guests by our members on their yachts. If you did not bring your boat down this year I hope to see you next year! I would like to give a special shout out the Staff Commodore Jon Robinson for all his efforts in making this event a success – I only hope I do as well when my time is up! And we just kept on rolling. The US Olympic Development Team has chosen to make ABYC one of its primary host locations. The sailors and coaches were at the club for four days of extreme and targeted training. It is always great to see these competitor here at what we all know as one of the best venues in the world to sail and train. Following the opening of our club, the Social committee once again knocked it out of the park with the Mother’s Day Brunch! The decorations, especially the rose bud folded napkins were just wonderful. Everyone I spoke to was relaxed and enjoying the good food and special time with their mothers! Twilight dinners are now being served on Thursday nights. Please make a reservation so that there is plenty of food to go around. Just around the corner we have our Memorial Day Regatta, OCR and Long Beach race week. I have been told that Long Beach Race Week is looking for volunteers! Please give Chuck Clay a call and help support this event in any way you can! Remember, there is nothing quite as good as just messing around in a boat! Latham Bell

e are ready for another successful of doing what we do best ABYC-putting on great regattas. I thought I would share with you what it goes in to the planning and execution of a successful W regatta. At the first Fleet Captain’s meeting of the year (sometime in October) each fleet receives its assignments as duty fleet. Following that a Regatta Chair and Board Liaison are assigned to ensure proper management and execution of the regatta. A few months leading up to the regatta a budget is developed and the Race Management Committee begins to assist in the planning phase. A PRO is assigned to work closely with the Regatta Chair to make sure that all of the needs of the regatta from a race management perspective are met. For some regattas the Regatta Chair also liaises with the Social Advisory Committee to develop any social event for the regatta such as a special dinner like the Memorial Day BBQ. During this time the Board Liaison works with the Regatta Chair to ensure that proper resources are being allocated and that the regatta budget is being adhered to. The weeks leading up to the regatta are usually very busy times for the regatta chair working with a number of people shoring up both on-the-water and land-side support by ensuring that there are enough volunteers staffing the regatta. Some other activities during this time includes monitoring entries, ensuring there are enough trophies, coordinating with staff regarding meals, coordinating logistics-parking, berthing, coaches, competitors and on and on. The final week leading up to the regatta the PRO provides the Port Captains with an equipment list which provides very detailed instructions on the required equipment including marks,First flags,Step anchors, etc. The staff prepare for the regatta, schedules are finalized, food ordered and thousands of other details are attended to. During the regatta dozens of volunteers work tirelessly to make sure that sailors traveling from near and far have a great experience. Volunteers greet sailors at the gate, hand out parking passes, direct traffic, launch and retrieve boats, help with entries and registration, score, judge, hear protests, set marks, signals, time starts, load and unload whalers, prepare/repair equipment, give prizes, etc.

Even after the last trophy is given and the last trailer leaves the yard it’s not quite over. Following the regatta, at the next Race Management Committee meeting, a debriefing is held where the PRO, Regatta Chair, Board Liaison and others share feedback regarding the regatta. We also review the financial side of the regatta to gauge how well we tracked to budget. A “lessons learnt” formulated from the debrief. Then it’s on the planning for the next regatta. We are fortunate to have committed volunteers who consistently staff regattas in order to provide competitors with world class regattas on a world class venue. As you can see, It takes a substantial effort to make regattas successful. We need more volunteers to help carry on this tradition-If you are interested in helping out with race management please let me know. Dave Schack
junior perspective
his past month I had the opportunity to sail in the Newport to Ensenada race on a Beneteau First 40. It was my first overnight long distance race so I wasn’t to sure Tabout how it would go at first, I have always heard of people complaining about the lack of winds going down. However, this year’s was quite different than what was considered the norm. At the start of the race, sailing with nearly 215 monohulls, catamarans, and trimarans, all ranging vastly in size in speed, there was a steady 5-7 knots of wind. However, after about two hours of racing wind picked up to 12 and eventually steadied to 16 knots another hour or so later. About an hour before the sun set, the weather surprised us once again. Wind was now steady at around 20 knots and we had the occasional 23 knot gusts. Although this might not be a lot of wind, we were pretty overpowered at sometimes with just 4 people on deck and had a few knockdowns. When we got going, however, we were cruising down the coast. With the kite up, we were averaging around 10 knots of boatspeed maxing at 14 when we started surfing. Although we didn’t end up finished until after our projected finish, we were still able to finish mid fleet (corrected). This race was definitely a rare experience for me; over 200 boats starting off of Newport Pier, three MOD 70’s (one that finished in just over 5 hours, smashing the previous record), and two guys double handing a 77 foot maxi. Completely different than the typical dinghy racing I do, I won’t forget a race like this. Ryan Shack junior programboard rep ast Month, more 501c.3 formation strides were taken to take the Jr. Sailing Program to a higher level and attempt to emulate what other Yacht Clubs are doing successfully. Apparently we are the last region to offer a comprehensive LYouth Sailing and Racing Foundation. Why do we need or want a 501c.3? It’s quite simple. You have three basic methods of funding a Jr. Sailing Program to cover Payroll, Rent, Utilities, Support Vessels, etc.- 1. ABYC Membership pays for it. 2. Fund Raising bankrolls it. 3. A Charitable Organization is formed that allows people to donate money and receive a portion of it back in tax relief bankrolls it. We have been doing #1 and #2 for decades and have never make a profit. Of course we welcome regular monthly donations, and these amount to about $400 (hardly enough to cover). In contrast, Youth Sailing Programs in our area are ranging from $150,000 to $450,000 in gross receipts per year! Local organizations in Long Beach are at $270,000 and $450,000, so we know that Locals are engaged in donating substantially more than $5 per mo. In addition to funding the c3 Operations Budget, its Educational Budget is infused with cash. Resulting from the added revenue, monies can be allotted to “Youth Sailing” expenses incurred by families to send their Sailors to distant venues to add to their learning curves and ultimately Education in our sport. This is very, very long overdue at Alamitos Bay. The Board of Directors following my presentation has seen the merit of taking the next step, which will be to meet with an Advisor and more thoroughly vet the concept with a focus group of Board and JAC (Junior Advisory Committee) Members, and key individuals. This will be to review Risk assessment, bylaws, and scope formation as it is a separate entity from ABYC. ...continued next page sou’wester • june 2016 • page 4 moreprogram jr rep ...from page 5
On a sad note, Allie Blecher has decided to join the Real World and has secured a job at Northrup Grumman, which is in line with her Master’s Program. Bummer for us all (but hopefully not her). The JAC has already met with Allie and she is leaving us on good terms with T’s crossed and I’s dotted. We will have absolutely no problems with Summer Staffing and we are considering options for the Fall as it pertains to High School Sailing and all of our Sailing Programs. She will be Coaching on Weekends and I believe some Fridays per her work schedule, so you will still see her around! I will see you on the water… Steve Bloemeke junior program donation info Jeff McDermaid photos ackground Not everyone knows about the 7 CFJs, under the blue B covers just outside the Quarterdeck. These boats are the 2 person CFJ, or Collegiate Flying Juniors, a beefed up version of the Flying Junior, which is a smaller version of the former Olympic Class boat the Flying Dutchman. The CFJ is used in High School and College sailing competition. They are great training boats due to their robust build quality. Competition is either very short course, not spinnaker races or long course, ocean racing with spinnakers. 5 years ago, the Junior Advisory Committee(JAC), embarked on a path to bring a double-handed training and racing program to the Middle and High School aged kids at ABYC. At that time, there was no formal club supported program in place, to provide the kids aging as well as sizing out of the Sabot Class. It is the hope and mission of the JAC to create a life-long love of sailing/racing for our junior members. These junior members are the future of ABYC. Donations For many years, several members have been donating $5-$10/month by way of the check box at the bottom the monthly dues statement. These donations go into the Junior Fund. This fund is used to purchase the assets needed for the Junior Program. We started the double handed program 5 years ago by purchasing 6 VERY old and pretty beat up CFJs from San Diego Yacht Club, for $1000 each. But, they floated and had sails. It was start. We have used them constantly for the Summer Program and the High School Sailing program. Over the past 5 years, we have replaced masts, booms, sails and fixed many holes and leaks. Two months ago, Jr. Director Blecher, asked the JAC if we could increase the size of the CFJ fleet. There was an opportunity to purchase some much newer used CFJs from UC Santa Barbara, and 3 of the VERY old boats were on their last legs. We were fortunate to find a high school in Sacramento looking to start a sailing program, and they agreed to buy 3 of the very old boats for $500/each!!! A very timely and very generous donation to the Junior Fund by member Ed Feo, paved the way towards purchasing 5 of UCSB boats (built in 2008). JAC members Latham Bell and Jeff McDermaid, cleaned, buffed and polished the first 2 boats to arrive over the Memorial Day Regatta Weekend. In support of our youngest sailors, the JAC has purchased 10 Optimist Prams, to replace the aging club owned Sabots. It is NOT the JAC’s desire to eliminate Sabot Sailing at ABYC, but, there is only one current Sabot builder, and new boats cost about $7000, and they are not indestructible. The Optis cost $2500/each and are nearly bullet proof. They are charted for the Summer Program and various Opti Regattas to the kids who do not own a boat.
Bottom Line Nearly all of the JAC members were once Junior Program kids either at ABYC or another club. We firmly believe that sailing is a life-long sport, and that supporting it from an early age is in the best long term interests of ABYC. The JAC appreciates everyone who has chosen to donate to the Junior Fund, and encourages those who are not current donors to do so. Comments or questions can be directed to the club secretary, Jeff McDermaid, [email protected].

wo Lido 14’s approaching the leeward gate to be rounded to starboard. Yellow is on Port and Blue on Starboard. When Yellow reached the zone, Blue was overlapped on her outside. T Yellow sails to a point about two lengths from the marks and gybes. Blue hails starboard, then has to bear away to avoid contact. Blue protests. Yellow claims that as an inside boat, she was entitled to sufficient room to sail so as “to finish as quickly as possible” and that Blue had to give sufficient room for Yellow to do so under rule 18.2(b). Blue claims that she gave Yellow more than enough room to sail to the mark and that Yellow took too much room forcing her to alter course to avoid contact. How does the protest committee rule?
Got Sails?
The Juniors are collecting old sails to recycle into duffle bags and other gear. Clean out your boat and garage! Simply drop off your old sails in the designated collection bin in the junior room.
sou’wester • june 2016 • page 7 mother’s day brunch Kathy Robinson photos t was a rosy Mother’s Day at ABYC this year. Everything was coming up roses: the center pieces, the buffet table decorations, and even Ithe napkins were just as I said, roses! After members and guests were greeted by Commodore Latham Bell and took in the cheerful ambiance of the room they focused in and marveled at the napkin creations cleverly folded to resemble roses. But as you and I know those napkins didn’t just fold themselves. A hard working, patient committee got together at happy hour Friday night to work the magic. One hundred and fifty of those little gems were created under the direction of Kathy Robinson with the assistance of Carol Clanton, Cindy Heavrin, Steve and Jennifer Kuritz and Jon Robinson. Rumor has it the master of the napkin to rose conversion was Steve Kuritz; must be that engineering mind at work! Then there was the thing that most of the people had come for— the free flowing champagne! They enjoyed champagne mimosas, champagne hibiscus, and just plain champagne. Volunteers from the Board of Directors saw to it that no one was without champagne at anytime. Kevin Brown, Steve Bloemeke, Jeff McDermaid, Dan Milefchik, and Dave Schack were most proficient at keeping those champagne glasses filled! There also was talk about some folks coming for the food and they weren’t disappointed either! New this year and very popular, was the omelet station where hungry attendees could choose from a variety of ingredients to build a perfect personal omelet. Another popular item was oven roasted salmon served with two delicious sauces. All of this goodness was served up by Lori VanSkyhock, and Kathy and Jon Robinson with the addition of Chef Uriel and Chef David at the omelet stations. After the mothers and their families had been wined and dined by the ABYC volunteers and staff the moms were given one of the centerpieces to take home. It was a small carafe containing, you guessed it three pink roses. I’d like to thank Lori,VanSkyhock, Kathy and Jon Robinson and Bill McDannel for helping set up the room. Also a big thank you to all of the hardworking staff and volunteers for their effort in making this a beautiful event and also for making me look so good! Sue McDannel, Mother’s Day Brunch Chair

ellow is inside entitled to room and Blue as the outside boat must give Yellow, the inside boat mark-room under rule rule 18.2(b). Y As the boats sailed to the mark in the zone, Blue continued to be the right-of- way boat and Yellow was required to keep clear by rule 10. Rule 18.2(b) required Blue to give Yellow mark-room, which is the space Yellow needed to sail to the mark in a seamanlike way, and not the space she would take to sail to the mark in a tactically desirable manner. This space was clearly more than needed by Yellow to sail to the mark in a seamanlike way. Yellow is disqualified for breaking rule 10. Mark Townsend

sou’wester • june 2016 • page 10 hails fromthe fleets Kathy Reed photos Sunday Lido racing Ten Lidos raced in the Sunday once a month regatta in the bay. We shared the barge with Senior Sabots. PRO Jim and Lynn Drury treated us to five races well run races with plenty of competition and variety. The lead changed hands several times as the fleet captain had the lead boat do a circle after rounding the mark. This kept the entire fleet a lot more together and much more challenging for the lead boats. Kim and Dan McBreaty, Mike Shea and crew and Bill Moore and Holly Davis shared the lead most of the day with Don and Christine Taugher, Ron and Carol Clanton, Will and Ann Vrooman and a few others all enjoying the competition. Check club calendar for more Lido racing on Sundays
Twilight action has been intense competition with a few starboard roundings to mix things up a bit. And, mix up is exactly what happened. Nemo wound up at the fiberglass hospital of Captain Glass after sustaining a cracking blow on a starboard tack doing a starboard rounding.
Lido big boat action: Nine boats traveled to Avalon to play golf and attend Silent Film Benefit for the Catalina Museum. The Lido fleet golf enthusiasts have been starting up their twilight golf lessons. All are welcome. It’s a lot of fun and it builds good mental toughness for racing.
Race your Lido and support our junior program: Need crew? Need valet? It’s a win, win deal for Lido fleet and juniors. A junior sailor will crew for you, or have your Lido launched and ready to go so you can make the twilight start time at 6pm. Contact junior sailing director Allie Blecher at [email protected] to arrange for crew/valet in this fund raising program, suggested donation for valet 10to20$. For Lido Fleet membership, questions or to arrange to charter the Lido Fleet boat, contact Kathy Reed at [email protected]
