Written and Submitted by: Susie Barry Commodore Ahoy, Spring is here at last! A reminder that membership fees are past due as of April 1st for the 2019 season. There will be a late fee so please get your applications/renewals in asap! Here is a link to membership forms; http://gcyc.net/2018GCYCmembershipForm.pdf Most of us know that the Gold Country Yacht Club is a member of PICYA. For those who don’t know what PICYA is, I will add a link. One of the best advantages and benefits to being a member to PICYA is that it allows GCYC members reciprocal services at cooperating yacht clubs throughout California and beyond! For example, say you’re walking down Front Street on Maui and you stumble upon a sign that says “Lahaina Yacht Club”. You start to go in but on the door there is a sign that says “Members Only” in big bold letters. Well with reciprocal privilege’s, you can just walk in with your GCYC membership card and enjoy some sailing enthusiast comradery just like at home where our clubhouse is open to their members as well. That is just one example, another benefit will pay off as you may be on a sailing journey down the California Coast and need to find a nice hot shower in a local harbors reciprocal Yacht Club! Link to PICYA: http://picya.org/ There are many more benefits to joining the Gold Country Yacht Club! Here is some wording I borrowed from our www.gcyc.net membership website page: “Gold Country Yacht Club membership is open to all, with or without boats. Many members maintain their own boats on Scotts Flat Lake, but the club has a fleet of sailing dinghies available to all members. If you don't know how to sail, we have certified instructors teaching organized classes as well as experienced members eager to share their love of sailing. Those with trail-able boats organize trailer-cruises to other lakes and coastal destinations. Several GCYC members maintain offshore sailboats in San Francisco Bay from where they depart on Summer bay and coastal cruises and the Baja HaHa.” And here is a link to our website calendar: http://gcyc.net/GCYC2019Calendar.pdf The club is ready to grow and we encourage new membership! Hope to see you on the water soon! Dennis Barry GCYC Commodore Vice Commodore Ahoy – All hands on deck! Welcome Spring because it's here, and that means it's time to get ready for racing, rafting up, No Motor Day (May 19th), and our 39th Annual Go For The Gold Regatta (June 1-2). Please check the calendar at gcyc.net, and join us at the Clubhouse, Scotts Flat Lake, for a Clubhouse Clean Up day on April 20 th at 10:00. Race #1 is this day also. We need to get everything ready for the season! Time for everyone to pitch in and keep this Club energized. The deadline for a $75 membership renewal has passed. The cost for renewal is now $85. The Regatta Registration forms will be available at the Club's website by April 15 th . I am excited about the 39 th Annual Regatta, which is coming up fast. We need member participation at the next general meeting on April 10 th , when we will continue to pass the sign-up sheets around. We need donations for the Raffle. This is a fun event, and we look forward to enjoying it with all of you. I want to personally thank Dennis & Susie Barry for their endless dedication to making everything run so smoothly, and, to their valuable knowledge of procedures. I am proud to follow in their footsteps. Looking forward to launching Blown Away on April 19 th . Scotts Flat Lake is full and stunning. Looking forward to seeing everyone out there! Port = Left. Easy way to remember this is "No PORT wine LEFT in the bottle". Starboard = Right. So think of "green for go is all RIGHT". See you at the next General Meeting on April 10 th , Trailblazer Pizza & Beer, 6:00 Eat, 7:00 Meet. Jibe Ho, Teresa Gaman GCYC Vice Commodore Kia Orana, Catalina 36 Blown Away, Capri 18 Membership All members are reminded that all club memberships need to be renewed. The new on-line membership forms and dues payment options will soon be available. If you don’t want to renew on line the standard forms will be available and cash or checks will still be accepted. Celebration of Life for Ed Guinaugh It was truly tragic that Ed had to suffer the effects of his ill health and the difficult end to his amazing life. Forty or so people gathered at the Alta Sierra Country Club to hear the stories and see the images that barely touched Ed’s persona and story. He was a dedicated father who worked hard to give his young daughters a sense and love for the outdoors and nature. Warm hearted and generous he was admired and appreciated by everyone with whom he came in contact. During the celebration his daughters gave both a stirring speech and an eye- tearing photo journal of their dad. His smiling face always prominent in an outdoor setting either hiking or camping in the woods or sitting in a sailboat. Joe Day gave Ed an “Eight Bells” ceremony. Afterwards volunteers gave anecdotes of times they shared with Ed. Some were demonstrative of his generosity, some of his humor, but all were sadly in commemoration.

  • I Feel the Need…

    I Feel the Need…

    44 AUSTRALIAN SAILING AUGUST-SEPTEMBER 2017 MYSAILING.COM.AU 45 SPORTSBOATS BETH MORLEY SPORTSAILINGPHOTOGRAPHY.COM SPORTS BOATS I FEEL THE NEED… ANDREW YORK LOOKS AT THE DEVELOPMENT OF SPORTSBOATS AND HOW THEY NEED TO BE SAILED IT was in the early years of this century that sports boats broke away from their trailer-sailer forebears. A more competitive group of owners started adding sail area and stripping out accommodation from their boats. Most people’s perception of a sports boat is a trailerable sailing boat with masses of sail area. While this was the genesis of sports boats there has been a gradual change. It became evident that sports boats needed to form their own separate group. ASBA was founded in 2007 by Cameron Rae, Mark Roberts and Richard Parkes. They wanted a more scientific handicapping system than had been employed in the past. In 2008 the Sportsboat Measurement System (SMS) was put in place by a body independent to ASBA. It was created by the same people who formulated the Australian Measurement System (AMS) in 1997. Sports boat racing has flourished across Australia under the ASBA banner, with the SMS rule encouraging high performance designs without the penalties that existed under other systems. Large asymmetrical spinnakers, in particular, are not penalised as harshly in the rating as the working sail area is, so that is why you see the sports boats with clouds of sails downwind. In Australia sports boats are defined as being between 5.8m and 8.5m in length and no more than 3.5m wide including hiking racks.
  • Setting up Your FD to Go Sailing

    Setting up Your FD to Go Sailing

    FD Trim Setting up your FD to go sailing The FD is a complex and powerful dinghy and getting the boat set up correctly for the prevailing conditions makes all the difference between the boat flying along and its being a pig to sail, especially to windward. It is important, therefore, that the significant controls are readily adjustable by the helmsman whilst sailing, so that he can fine tune the rig without loosing way or control. Of course, all the usual boat turning and preparation rules apply to the FD as to any other performance dinghy. Get the centreboard and rudder vertical and in line; get the mast central and upright in the boat; make the mast a tight fit in the step and partners etc. However some aspects of the FD are a bit special so try this way of sorting boat out and getting set for the race. Set up the genoa: The most important control of an FD is the genoa halyard, controlling the mast rake. This needs the purchase of at least 24:1 led to either side of the boat for the helmsman to adjust while hiking. A courser adjustment, say 6:1, is also ideal for changing between the different clew attachment positions available in modern genoas. We use a 6:1 purchase on the back face of the mast which hooks up to the genoa halyard. One end of this goes directly to a clam-cleat for the course adjustment and this marked with a position for each clew. The other end goes to 4:1 purchase running along the boats centreline and led to each side.

    The International Flying Dutchman Class Book

    THE INTERNATIONAL FLYING DUTCHMAN CLASS BOOK www.sailfd.org 1 2 Preface and acknowledgements for the “FLYING DUTCHMAN CLASS BOOK” by Alberto Barenghi, IFDCO President The Class Book is a basic and elegant instrument to show and testify the FD history, the Class life and all the people who have contributed to the development and the promotion of the “ultimate sailing dinghy”. Its contents show the development, charm and beauty of FD sailing; with a review of events, trophies, results and the role past champions . Included are the IFDCO Foundation Rules and its byelaws which describe how the structure of the Class operate . Moreover, 2002 was the 50th Anniversary of the FD birth: 50 years of technical deve- lopment, success and fame all over the world and of Class life is a particular event. This new edition of the Class Book is a good chance to celebrate the jubilee, to represent the FD evolution and the future prospects in the third millennium. The Class Book intends to charm and induce us to know and to be involved in the Class life. Please, let me assent to remember and to express my admiration for Conrad Gulcher: if we sail, love FD and enjoyed for more than 50 years, it is because Conrad conceived such a wonderful dinghy and realized his dream, launching FD in 1952. Conrad, looked to the future with an excellent far-sightedness, conceived a “high-perfor- mance dinghy”, which still represents a model of technologic development, fashionable 3 water-line, low minimum hull weight and performance . Conrad ‘s approach to a continuing development of FD, with regard to materials, fitting and rigging evolution, was basic for the FD success.

How do they gain insight into how decisions are made and how priorities are set? The individual Commanders (Harbor, Race, Buildings & Grounds, Sail Training) and their committees are the first line of access to the Board for issues/ideas that fall within their purview. Operational issues about the day to day workings of the Club or facilities should be brought to the attention of the General Manager and the Commodore. The Vice Commodore is the contact for AYC regattas. The Secretary is the contact for the Directory and Website and the Past Commodore is the contact for Membership issues. For large projects that may take a few years to put aside the necessary funding, the Long Range Planning Committee is involved. Please engage with the appropriate Commander or group if you have an idea for the Club or if you have a concern. Please remember that the Commanders are all volunteers, it may take them a few days to get back to you. The Commanders will assess and address issues that can be dealt with in the short term. For items that require expenditures over $1,500 or are a capital improvement and add assets to the Club, Board approval is required.
