March 2020 Official Publication of Alamitos Bay Yacht Club Volume 93 • Number 3 Club Abyc Ping Pong Dana Bell Photos March 2020 Official Publication of Alamitos Bay Yacht Club Volume 93 • Number 3 club abyc ping pong Dana Bell photos ing Pong Tournament is a Slam First, buy a ping pong table, a good one! Second, let the kids play! Third, let P the adults play! Fourth, have Dana Bell see you. And fifth, we are having our first Ping Pong Tournament! I really don’t think it was our first, but there sure hasn’t been one in a very long time! Well, why not! The idea was to set up the table in the second deck on happy hours when there was no other event going on. Gabe Ferramola brought his music, the bar was busy, and the idea began to take shape! It just had to happen, but how? I began to advertise the event not really knowing exactly what to do. So I asked some members. The most important point was to have everyone play a minimum number of games and not be eliminated after just one or two games. So, starting with 25 players, it was a round robin format with a minimum of four games to play with the top players qualifying for a single elimination round of sixteen. Since there were no eligibility requirements (and no entry fee!) there was a wide range of ages, abilities, members and guests! On the age scale, we had Gage Christopher (quarter finalist) on one end and John Ellis (round of 16) on the other! The other round of sixteen players were Tate Christopher, Dan Elder, Lynn Drury, Greg Naiman, Brendan Barth, Ari Naiman, Kathleen Melvin, Giancarlo Guevara, Jorge Suarez, Nicholas Mueller, Jennifer Kuritz, and Michael Oliver, plus a couple of no shows! Tables and couches were moved on the second deck, the bar was open, then the games began! With 50 games completed in the first round, spanning over two Friday evenings, and 15 for the finals, it took some time to complete. Nevertheless, the waiting players joined the spectators and guests for cocktails, board games, happy hour dishes from Teak Catering ( yumm!) and even a three piece band one night! The crowd was so good that I had encourage spectators to move a bit to not interfere with play. I didn’t realize how infectious Ping Pong can be! As it turned out, the top four seeds all made it to the semifinals, Tate v. Brendan and Ari v. Michael. After some long rallies, unforced errors, and some slams, the top two seeds, Tate Christopher (1) and Michael Oliver (2) advanced to the final. Go figure! Tate took the first set as his youth and his left hand made it tough for Michael, but he figured something out in the second set to win forcing a third set. I have known Tate for a few years and I have known Michael for decades. What they have in common is that they are both fierce competitors (don’t let their friendly smiles fool you!) As the tension of the final set built and with friends and loved ones looking, they kept their poker face on. Still, I could ...continued page 8 inside Manager’s Corner ............................................. 2 sav e the date Commodore’s Comments.................................. 2 Club ABYC/Member Mixer ........................March 6 Vice Verses ....................................................... 2 Tuscan Wine Tasting .................................March 7 Rear View .......................................................... 3 Happy Hour ....................................

To put this accomplishment in perspective, I did a bit of research. “There are about 10,000 athletes in the Summer Olympics. With the world population at about 7 billion, the chances of making it that far are about 1 in 562,400,” says Bill Mallon, past president and co-founder of the International Society of Olympic Historians. One in half a million people get to the Summer Olympics. Well done Riley and Anna. Back at home-base, our ABYC Tuscan Wine Tasting event, on March 7, is sold out! To those attending, you will be lavished with a delightful assortment of signature wines from the 300 year-old Tenuta Torciano Winery in San Gimignano, Italy. Complimented by delicious appetizers and dinner through Teak Catering. March sailing events will include the USODA Opti Practice Session, March 7-8; ABYC Laser Clinic, March 14 and the SCYYRA Laser Midwinters West, March 20-22. As you can see, we are a busy club where our members enjoy both sailing and social events. Which makes ABYC absolutely, The Place to BE! Rick commodore’scompass ebruary was a busy month and March looks to be the same. I spent most of my weekends last month with the Jr. Sailors in San Diego where we had several kids participating in the FOlympic Development Program the first weekend of the month. It was an outstanding event for the kids with top coaches coming in from around the country to work with them. The following weekend was the Dave Perry Match Racing Clinic. If you’ve never met Dave, I’d make it a priority. He’s passionate about match racing, and the kids love his clinic. This was the second year in a row for the team of Jeff Ingham, Summer Drake, and William Mueller. We also had several new faces. I think it would be great for ABYC to have a team in the Governor’s Cup in the near future. Thanks to a generous donation from the Tempest fleet, we now have two boats to practice match racing. Finally, it was great to see so many ABYC members at Mission Bay Yacht Club for the SCYA Midwinters. We have some big events lined up in March, including the wine tasting class during the first weekend of March, and the Cal20 bring a Jr. Regatta. Great job keeping the juniors involved! Later in the month, ABYC will be host the Laser Midwinters West. It looks to be a great event with close to 100 boats. Volunteers are always welcome. Hope to see you at the club soon! Stephen Mueller viceverses ey all! Hope your month has been going well. We have some things to consider in the coming months: H First on my agenda is the Spring Spruce Up. There will be plenty to do whether you like gardening, painting or handiwork. Speaking of handiwork, there is a plan to install a new solid surface countertop in the serving area. I think the counter we have has lived its life. If you are unfamiliar with the term, solid surface is what a Corian surface is called. I have asked Rich Ferdon to head and teach us how to do it. For those interested, a week before we will learn how to handle it, how to cut and glue as well as reinforce for a strong top. Then we will make the three of them so they are ready to be installed during Spring Spruce Up. If you may be interested in this, especially the previous weekend of a free class for knowledge, contact me. It will be fun to learn. I would also like to announce that we have been chosen as the venue next year for the NACRA 15 Worlds in August 2021. Though not an Olympic Boat, it will be what the young’uns will sail to get used to it. Love to hear from you, Dan DeLave sou’wester • march 2020 • page 2 rearview ur spring program is coming up with a start date of March 8th. These classes are designed to cover all ranges of skill levels. There are several boat classes to choose from: O Optis, Sabots, Lasers and FJs. While the minimum requirement is one previous summer sailing experience, there are both morning and afternoon classes available, depending upon your sailor’s comfort level, with the afternoons being perhaps a windier option. There is no need to commit to the entire group of dates or even the morning vs afternoon classes as the program has been structured to allow flexibility. For more information and to sign up please go to the ABYC website, under Sailing Programs and select the 2020 Spring Sailing Program. In addition to the formal program, there are several sailing opportunities for our juniors. The next big one, hosted by ABYC, will be the Laser Mid-Winters West happening March 20-22. We already have four of our sailors entered. On March 14th please plan to come down and support our local Alamitos Bay Sailing Foundation in their efforts to raise funds for our own Junior Sailors at ABYC as well as for the Riley Gibbs-Anna Weis Olympic Campaign as they prepare to represent the US in Tokyo! See you at the club. Brooke The donation of your old sails to the Alamitos Bay Sailing Foundation is tax deduct- ible. If you would like a letter acknowledging your donation, please leave your name and contact information taped to your donated sails or with the front office or contact Jennifer Golison at [email protected].

  • December 2013
    December, 2013 In Memoriam Buzz Olson, CYA Founding Member #2 Not that long ago back in 2008, CYA Member #1, founding member Bob Ekoos crossed the bar. And now, just three months ago, CYA Member #2 and founding member A. H. "Buzz" Olson joined his friend and boating compatriot. What they started back in 1970 is history, as they say, and it is a history that has substance and meaning and is so important for us now and for the future. How Buzz and Bob met, and how CYA was started, is a tale to tell. As Buzz told the story at an Oceanside, CA, CYA event in 2001, he was sitting on his boat at Catalina Island back in 1970 when this fellow rowed up in a dinghy. It was Bob Ekoos. Buzz invited him on board and they began comparing notes on their old boats. There were "old" boats even back in 1970! As they talked, Bob said that he was thinking about starting a club of old wood yachts/owners and would Buzz be interested. Buzz said sure, and the CYA was born. Buzz Olson was one of a dozen local southern California classic boat owners who attended a meeting called by Bob Ekoos at Long Beach Yacht Club to see if there was more widespread interest in forming a special club for their fine old boats. There was, and the momentum continued to grow. Several more organizational meetings were held that year, and our founding group of 18 agreed upon a purpose for their new club: “To promote the preservation, restoration and maintenance of fine, old, power-driven pleasure craft.” That phrase should sound very familiar to you.
