S EGERBLOM I NDUCTED – 2009 ICSA HALL OF FAME a portion of a press release by Jan Harley, Media Pro Int’l

Newport, Rhode Island (June 26, 2009) – The Inter-Collegiate Sailing Association (ICSA) recently acknowledged the contributions of Michael Segerblom to the sport of college sailing by inducting him into the ICSA Hall of Fame. He was recognized with the Graham Hall Award for Outstanding Service by a College Sailing Professional. The ICSA Hall of Fame was established in 1969 to acknowledge the competitive achievements of undergraduates as well as the service contributions of individuals whose efforts helped in the establishment, growth, and development of college sailing. In recognition of their significant service to the organization, the names of the inductees will be added to the permanent ICSA Hall of Fame display located in the Robert Sailing Center at the U.S. Naval Academy (Annapolis, Md.). GRAHAM HALL AWARD – Michael Segerblom has been honored by ICSA with the Graham Hall Award which recognizes organizers, administrators, advisors or coaches who have served the best interests of college sailing at the club/team, conference or national level. Segerblom, a 1986 of the University of Southern California, was an ICSA All-American in 1985 and Captain of the school’s sailing team. As an undergrad he held several offices in the Pacific Coast Intercollegiate Yacht Racing Association (now Pacific Coast Collegiate Sailing Conference) including serving as President, and for more than 15 years serving as its Graduate Secretary and Conference Commissioner. He has served on ICSA’s Board of Directors and All-America Committee, and was Chair of the Communications Committee. In 1992, Segerblom became the Executive Director of the Pacific Coast Sailing Foundation and the United States Sailing Center – Long Beach. In addition to being the home of the USC Varsity Sailing Team, the Center is also the host of many racing events and learn-to-sail programs, as well as programs for sailors with disabilities and youths-at-risk, while another mainstay is high school sailing. “Segerblom combines his love for sailing with his organizational and business skills to coordinate sailing programs on many age and Cover photo by Pam Bacich 2 RACING

Racing internationally and nationally on big boats and , Segerblom won national titles in the and 470 classes, and placed fifth at the 1984 470 Olympic Team Trials. He has been a US Sailing Certified Judge since 1988 and has served as the Regatta Chairman and Principal Race Officer for numerous international, national, regional and local events. He also co-founded the US–Japan Intercollegiate Goodwill Regatta. “When I traveled to my first away event in 1978, I went to the U.S. Naval Academy for a regatta as John Shadden’s crew,” explained Segerblom about his personal connection to the award’s namesake. “The first guy John and I met was Graham Hall and he took us under his wing. We were just 15, and when we won the qualifying event, I looked over and Graham was there with a ‘big thumbs’ up from a coach who cared. That made receiving this award special.” The father of three sons (Sean, age 10, Daniel, 13 and Chris, 16) is, naturally, now very involved in high school sailing and travelling to events with his sons. Chris is spending seven weeks in this summer, Daniel will be competing at the youth championship in Connecticut and Sean is currently learning team racing in Sabots. Segerblom’s reflections on his ICSA activities also included a nod to long-time mentor Ted Livingston (Bellingham, Wash.), who recently passed away. “He sailed at San Diego State in the ‘40s and was instrumental in developing the sailing program at the University of Hawaii. He had put me up for this award and finally I qualified age-wise. I got a very nice call from his wife yesterday.”

Intercollegiate Sailing Association - ICSA is the governing authority for sailing competition at colleges and universities in the U.S. and some parts of Canada. It is divided into seven conferences that schedule and administer regattas within established geographic regions: Middle Atlantic (MAISA), Midwest (MCSA), New England (NEISA), Northwest (NWICSA), Pacific Coast (PCCSC), South Atlantic (SAISA), and Southeastern (SEISA).

NHYC Angler Rod Neighbors organized the second of two Jr. Angler Fishing Seminars for 2009. Bill Bennett and Robert Bents graciously made their time and boats available to give all the kids great platforms to fish from. Participation was great again, with 10 Jr. Anglers in attendance. Nathan Dunham conducted an instructional seminar at the NHYC dock on baiting, casting, and setting the hook before heading out to fish. The bite was slow but the group still managed to land three Halibut, a Spotted Bass and a couple of Mackerel. The kids had a blast regardless of catching a fish and really liked getting on the water and fishing from a boat. Seminar attendees were; Trevor Neighbors, Briggs D’Eliscu, Bobby Briggs, Wills Johnson, Robert Bents, Paisley Pittman, Parker Pittman, Nick Ramming, Bill Bennett and crew at Jr. Angler Seminar Hunter Vandertoll and Judson Vandertoll. Rod Neighbors contributed to this report.
