Reflecting back, I would be remiss if I didn't give credit for all the great things that have happened this year to those of you who worked so hard to make the Austin Yacht Club what it is today. At the risk of sounding trite, having a club that we can all be proud of is a lot like winning a race. The crew does all the work and makes anything possible; the skipper only chooses which direction to go. Without the unselfish dedication of the member­ ship that we have, we wouldn't have the club that we have now. Space and memory being what they are allow me only to single out a few, but the efforts of all are not forgotten, nor unappreciated. I would like first to thank the AYC staff for their untiring devotion to the club. It would be safe to say that without Wayne and his crew, we would be at square one most of the time. Next I would like to recognize the Board of Directors, all of whom took their jobs seriously and carried out the duties of the offices to which they were elected -- and carried them out flawlessly~ might add. I don't think that this club has ever been guided by a more dedicated and responsible group. In what seems to be becoming a more and more complex undertaking, our Regatta chair­ people were outstanding this year and, likewise, our Regattas were outstanding this year. The committee volunteers who worked on the grounds really have the place whipped into shape and looking great. All the help in the office when we really got in a crunch with billings and regattas and who knows what else all at the same time was invaluable. And I know that the office staff will agree with me on that. Since so many of us live for sailboat racing, I must also commend not only the committees of the day, but the Permanent Race Committee for providing the quality of racing that we are privileged to enjoy here in Austin, Texas. Those who worked so hard on the Junior Sailing Program cannot be forgotten. We were able to provide sailing instruction and, more importantly, a quality yacht club experience for a great number of young people this last summer. Hopefully many of these youngsters will be back with us in summers to come and will eventually become enthusiastic yacht club members. The social season was a success due in no small part to the efforts of the chair­ people involved as well as the efforts of the volunteer helpers. I would now like to recognize and thank the Harbor Committee and all of those who gave up a Saturday or two to work on the docks. In two days our volunteer labor was able to rebuild all the boardboat docks in the north cove and place wood spacers between the pipe and the foam on three of the four docks which needed to have that done. You guessed it, we will be asking for another Saturday from y'all some time in the future, and I know that you will respond unselfishly. Lastly I would like to thank all of the chairmen and volunteers on those committees which we don't hear too much about but are so important: the Membership Committee, the Safety Committee, the Harbor Upgrade Committee, the Awards Committee, the Trophy Committee, our Historian, the UT Team Liaison, the Volunteer Coordinator, and the sailing camp <::!ia_irpeople. If I have left anyone out, it was not on purpose, and I apologize. There is obviously a lot that goes on here in the course of a year and, until you look back and try to add it all up, it's easy to forget how much is done because it is done so well. In closing, I would like to thank the entire membership for allowing me to be your Commodore this year. I have enjoyed it immensely, and it has been a year that I won't soon forget.

  • PHRF Handicapping for Fun Races, the Frostbite Race, and Summer Races
    WLSC TOD PHRF Handicapping for Fun Races, the Frostbite Race, and Summer Races Sections: -Introduction -PHRF TOD -Some Typical Race Courses Introduction: It is very difficult to conduct a totally equitable race with such a diverse group of boats and people as that found at Watauga Lake. We employ two different handicapping systems in an attempt to address these inequities: Club and PHRF. (Disclaimer) No handicapping system is totally fair. However, we have chosen these somewhat imperfect ones while we continue to struggle for an unrealistic goal of perfection. The WLSC Club system (developed by John Middaugh) includes both the sailboat and the crew in the handicap. We employ this approach to create a competitive atmosphere for those that might not necessarily desire to spend a lot of time and money improving their boat. However, as the boat and crew improves, their handicap is increased over time. Any sailboat can compete in this racing series if they have either a Portsmouth or PHRF rating. This system is describe in a separate document entitled “WLSC Club Handicapping and Scoring for Fall and Spring Race Series. The PHRF system is based only on the sailboat. Thus, the system attempts to factor out crew and boat preparation. The approach assumes that the boat is crewed by a very competent crew and with a boat in excellent condition. A PHRF is calculated from Thus, if one does not maintain their boat (sails, hardware, bottom) well and exert a significant effort in crew training, it will be somewhat difficult to consistently finish high in the PHRF race series.
