[email protected] PAGE 2 | JIB SHEET Commodore’s Comments Nicole Ferry While summer has been a scorcher this year, it hasn’t dampened our members’ desire to be outside and soaking in the sunshine and salt. We have had a record year for summer sailing, both the kid’s camps and the adults, too. Huge shout out to our Sailing Director, César Travado. He has put such energy into our sailing programs, the like of which is not seen often. We are so fortunate to have him. This past month we added a youth sailing van to our PYC Sailing Program. With the help of the PYC’s Satori Foundation, who donated $6,000 towards its purchase, we have a van to be proud of. THANK YOU to Iven Streckel, PYC Member and owner of Frontier Motors, who sold it to PYC - at cost. The van’s purpose is to promote all that is sailing in our Club. Now, PYC has the ability to transport more juniors for sailing regattas near and far, and also to tow many of the junior sailboats. The 2018 Ford Transit has a 3.5- ton engine, so it can haul a lot! No longer will we either have to forego a regatta or rent another vehicle to transport our boats. The sailing program is moving in a high speed, upward trajectory; the sky’s the limit. Fleet Captain Hal Smith and Rear Commodore Tom Pace have been right there with César. Hal also keeps our members’ interest by maintaining the Thursday Night Racing, weather willing. For those of you who don’t know, Hal is a National Racing Official. We are lucky to have him; Hal knows the finite rules and regulations that others would miss but for his knowledge. As I write this, July isn’t over yet, but so much has happened. Board Director James Simkins chaired the Junior Olympics. We had more than 65 sailors. To put it into perspective our growing participation, in 2018 we had 2 sailors in the Junior Olympics, but this year we had 17. It was an amazing event, despite the weather on the first day. I, personally, received so many compliments for the efficiency of the regatta, the awesome shirts for the event and the friendliness of our staff. “BIG THANKS” go to Melissa and Board Director Josh Hackel who housed 17 sailors from the LOOT Sailing Team, even though Gil was sailing elsewhere with the USODA Worlds Team. It’s such a boon for our newbies to see high caliber sailors! When I was playing basketball, it was always better to “PLAY UP.” You always learn more by watching those who have skills that you, yourself, don’t have. Always challenge yourself to “SAIL UP.” Our One-Design Team (Vipers) has been steadily improving, making adjustments to the rigging during every regatta. Tuning the rigs is key to winning, since the boats are otherwise identical. Huge thanks to Hunter Riddle, Brandon Addison, Mike Levert, Jake Mcleod and many others for making the commitment to race and represent PYC. Thanks to Rear Commodore Tom Pace for driving his Jupiter to Fort Walton Beach to support our team. Having a support boat that can carry water and food, while on the water for 3-5 hours, is key to our success. Ever present in the mind of the Viper racer is the Sir Thomas Lipton Cup - The 100th Anniversary, next Labor Day weekend at Southern Yacht Club, in New Orleans. Hold that date, because we plan it to be a destination raft up to support our sailors and, hopefully, bring home the trophy like PYC did in its first Lipton. The last regatta of July for PYC was led by Rear Commodore Tom Pace, who chaired the event. We had 70 sailors from across the country. Our AMAZING Race Committee rocked the event once again. “THANK YOU!” Claire Rees, Bob Sutton, Dana Jackson, “the unsinkable Molly,” Betsy Moraski, and Debbie & Peter Buckley. I’m sure there are more of you and... to each of you I say “THANK YOU!” PYC’s success as a national racing venue does nothing but elevate our reputation in the sailing world. None of it is possible without our Race Chairs and Race Committees! As we enter August, the Summer Sailing Program and Thursday Night Sailing continue!

“Sunshine and Salt!”

On Monday, July 11 the interior decorators returned and professionally hung more of our Club’s memorabilia and awards with the assistance of Club Historian Dave Hoffman. Dave is a Club This month’s Jib Sheet finds us square in the middle of the year, and so far it has been a DOOZY! In just treasure! His knowledge of the early days of Club history is unparalleled, and it’s a rare treat to get him half a year, we have seen exceptional progress in our youth sailing, Summer Camp attendance, adult sailing, talking about the early members, their adventures and exploits. Talk to him sometime, and you will see and our PYC participation in Viper racing in our GYA commitments. what I mean. (See Dave’s article on page 8.) In membership, as many of you know, we are at our cap of 725 members, and we have over 25 applicants on our waiting list! Your Membership Committee of Dean Kirschner, Tiffany Meece, Jim Reeves, Jim New Race Committee Boat “Persistence” Warwick, and myself are developing the criteria to make the selections from our wait list fair for PYC as At the next Board of Directors meeting on July 20th (postponed from the 17th due to the Flying Scot well as for the waiting applicants. Regatta) I fully expect the Board to approve the “Memorandum of Understanding,” which addresses usage of the boat and responsibilities shared between the Club and our partner, the PYC Satori Foundation. In our finances, we are making significant progress - ahead of schedule - in paying down our debts. I am Afterwards, needed repairs to the boat will be authorized by both partners, and the repairs should move in my second year on the Finance Committee, and from the amazing leadership of Treasurer Tim Kane forward. Hopefully, the boat will be ready to put into service sometime during the month of August, depending on the length of time and the expertise of our committee members, in conjunction with our long range financial planners, we will the repairs take and the shipyard’s schedule. As a reminder to all members, if you have any input on the renaming of the boat, you have one of our main loans cleared from the books by spring of 2021! In being ahead of that schedule, we save the Club in excess of can submit those suggestions to the Commodore, to the President of the Foundation or to any member of the Naming Committee. $83,000 in interest payments. There is solid and serious work ahead to address all of our debts and financial needs, but the simple truth is that we are making progress such as PYC has never experienced, and this is to be appreciated and built upon. Additions The building of the new poolside bar is continuing on pace and will hopefully be completed soon. This will be a great benefit to PYC is a wonderfully historical Club, and my family has been involved for more than 80 years. Personally, I have been an associate users of the Club’s swimming pool who desire some cool liquid refreshment against the summer heat. Additionally, thanks to a very member since 1960, and a dues paying member for over 30 years — I mention this to preface something PYC just finished that pays generous 50% cost-contribution from a member (who wishes to remain anonymous), the Club has purchased a beautiful new piano homage to a special part of sailing history in the GYA, the Flying Scot North American Championship. The Flying Scot boat was for Ballroom A! first built in 1957, and was adopted by the Gulf Yachting Association in 1961 to teach youth sailing. By 1968, the Scot became the Repairs racing boat for the Lipton Cup, which was keenly contested among all of the clubs of the GYA. The Scot would remain the Lipton The permitting for the repairs to the concrete decking between the crane and South bulkhead, as well as the erosion problem at the race boat for nearly 50 years, having recently been replaced by the VIPER. East marina has been finalized and a contract signed with Dale’s Marine Construction to perform the repairs. Next July, Southern Yacht Club will host the 100-year anniversary of the very first Lipton Cup, and in honor of the three boats that The resurfacing and conversion of the tennis court, in order to provide additional guest parking, have been put on hold for the have been sailed in that championship for the past century, the old Fish, the newest Viper, and the venerable Flying Scot will race moment until the repairs to the concrete decking and East marina, erosion issues are complete. It is still in the plans to do this again in that celebration regatta … as our record membership and increased regatta activity have put pressure on the members’ parking lot. Until then, guests will be encouraged to park only in the existing guest parking lot and in the overflow areas. The Flying Scot North American Championship In homage to our history with the Flying Scot, your Fleet Captain Hal Smith had the idea to host a big-time event for the Scot class, and that is just what your Club did! We hosted 27 boats and nearly 100 visitors this past week, and your PYC put on a great regatta, with feedback that included the following: “best ever”; “perfect races and committee work on the water”; and “the most welcomed we have ever felt in a yacht club, including our own.” Thanks to Hal and Sally Smith, Talbot and Virginia Wilson, Bob Madden, Murt Guild, John Buziak, Jim Warwick and Scott Segers, PYC performed as Manager Jim Warwick said: “We did what PYC does - put on a great event, on and off the water!” Thanks also to Commodore Ferry for volunteering “her man,” Chris to cook his special Jambalaya for a Flying Scot dinner. That was a treat for all. PYC’s own John Domagala (former Class President of the Scott Class) not only competed, but also helped to guide the measurement of boats, sails, and gear that saved the regatta crew hours of trial and error. Dockmaster Greg Spitzer was invaluable in splashing and recovering the boats every day of the 5-day regatta. By my estimation, he made hundreds of laps to and from the water with the boats, and easily in excess of 1000 times he got in and out of the utility vehicle we used to handle the boats, all in 100+ degree temps. Our volunteers and full staff did far more than make this a great sailing event …. Collectively, they all highlighted some very important history of the GYA, and Pensacola Yacht Club’s rightful place in that mix.

This is all just the precursor to what we will do in preparation for the 100-year celebration of the Lipton Cup. On a side note... that first ever Lipton Cup 100 years ago was won by PYC, and we aim to WIN that regatta next July for PYC! The remainder of the year will see more races on our Bay, and we encourage all interested to get involved or to, at least, come get a look - We are writing new chapters in the Club’s sailing history, and with a membership as good as ours ... these chapters will be continue to develop into amazing times!!

PYC SATORI FOUNDATION MID-YEAR REPORT JULY 12, 2019

Dear Fellow PYC Members:

I am pleased to provide this report on the activities of our Foundation so far this year.

We are engaging more outreach participants than ever before. Thirty-seven outreach sails have been scheduled for the 2019 season with outreach partners: Boys and Girls Club, Center for Autism Related Disabilities, Sea Stars, Dose of the Coast, YMCA, Purple Heart Vets, Big Brothers Big Sisters, Pensacola Young Professionals, and others. We not only are using PYC Satori vessels, but are pleased that Jim and Linda Oyler are using their beautiful PARLAY for some of the outreach sails, as well. Many thanks to you.

PYC member engagement is also in record territory. Our Trustees (7), and Advisory Board (16) are assisted on a regular basis by countless PYC volunteer members who help as captains, crew, maintenance workers, educators, and on various committees.

The PYC Satori exhibit at the Gulf Coast Science Fair was a huge success thanks to the leadership of Ann Yoshihashi, Bob Hoyt, Sandy Dimick, - P/C Satori Administrator, Susan McKinnon, Alan McMillan, Tom Patterson, Murt Guild, and others. We engaged literally hundreds of kids in the community with basic sailing and STEM hands-on demos as part of our PYC Satori booth.

Our scholarship program is also in sharp growth mode. We initiated that last year and were able to secure spots for 11 scholarship kids in the PYC Summer Sailing Program. The Foundation paid full tuition to PYC for those children to attend. This year, thanks to Ann Yoshihashi’s continued leadership and the financial support of countless PYC member donors, we have partnered with Milk and Honey, who screen for suitability and transport 15 disadvantaged kids to PYC summer sailing. We awarded 2 scholarships at the GC Science Fair, and will have an additional 6-8 scholarships awarded through our regular application process, for a total of between 23-25. Thanks to Ann, Tom Patterson, and Sandy for their hard work.

Our boat rental program has now started. You may rent “Pied Piper,” our 25’ center console, or “Second Wind,” our Tartan 28’ sailboat, on very favorable terms. Please get with Bob Sutton (662-397-9285, [email protected]) or Sandy Dimick (850-615-430- 0861, [email protected]) if you’re interested.

This fall, on September 20 – 21, we will have our first Annual Fishing Rodeo. The skipper’s meeting will be on a Friday evening with the rodeo itself taking place on Saturday. We have a $5,000 Title Sponsor – Pete Moore Dealerships. The Santa Rosa Island Authority is sponsoring the kids’ portion with a $2,500 donation, and other sub-sponsors are in the works. The committee – Talbot Wilson, Jim Reeves, Denis McKinnon, and Alan McMillan - are ably assisted by veteran fishing tourney professional, Chris Phillips, who has volunteered his time, as well. Not only is this rodeo expected to generate much needed revenue for the Foundation, but also will engage our outreach partners in such things as a kids’ pinfish contest.

So, lots of good things are happening with our Foundation and it bears reflecting further on just how all of that benefits PYC. I’ve gotten questions from some members about why we have a Foundation, how it benefits PYC, and whether it depletes Club assets and resources without due compensation. So let me take a moment to address those questions and concerns.

PYC’s community profile is enhanced considerably by helping, as we do, to create access to sailing and boating for those whose limitations would otherwise get in the way. That in turn attracts members, fosters club rentals, and promotes member retention and engagement. There is nothing like going on a sail with kids who have never been, and experiencing the wonder of it all through their eyes and ears. So yes, it is very rewarding for all of us who are involved.

PAGE 6 | JIB SHEET The Foundation pays for its wet slip rentals and for the dry slip storage of “Victoria.” As PYC uses “Pied Piper” for regattas without charge, we don’t pay storage fees for her. PYC and the Foundation each own a Viper. The Satori Viper is available gratis to PYC for Capdeville training. So, no storage fee paid for that one, in lieu of a rental fee per use. All events generating meal and drink expenditures are paid to PYC by the Foundation. So too, each time we produce a scholarship attendee for PYC sailing school, full tuition is paid by the Foundation to PYC for that. Additionally, the Foundation just donated $12,000 toward the recent JO Regatta for coaching expenses and contributed $6,000 to the cost of getting a van that will be used by our Juniors, among others.

So overall, by virtue of having a 501c3 organization devoted to putting people on the water who couldn’t or might not otherwise get there, and by generally supporting PYC regattas and other public outreach missions, the Club standing is elevated and members are attracted, engaged, and retained in ways they wouldn’t otherwise be. And all while providing revenue and support for our Club consistent with IRS limits and guidelines.

I hope this addresses whatever questions or concerns any of you may have, and I also hope you will consider supporting the PYC Satori Foundation with your volunteerism or donations. To get involved, please contact either Marguerite Burr (850 516-7212, [email protected]) or Sandy Dimick.

Warm best to all, P/C Tim Burr PYC Satori Foundation President

PAGE 7 | JIB SHEET – Ship’s Log–

In July we began displaying in the lobby a changing exhibit of historical items from the Pensacola Yacht Club archives. The Commodore and I encourage you to take time to examine the exhibit and gain some appreciation of our heritage. The item on display in August is the US flag that flew over our first clubhouse in 1911. The flag has been professionally preserved by Club member Jean Russ, who has framed so many of our Club photos over the years.

PAGE 8 | JIB SHEET EntertainmentPensacola Yacht Club Commodore Nicole Ferry On August 9th, we will have a Seafood Buffet at PYC. So, if you are like me and love crab legs and the like, be sure to make reservations. We sold out last time we had it! (See ad below) While many of us prepare to send our kids back to school, don’t forget we will have Movie Night at the Pool to watch JAWS. It starts at 7:00 pm August 24, 2019. You can dip in the pool or view the movie from the grounds or back porch. Either way, there is fun to be had. I personally couldn’t watchS Jaws Ewhile in theA Sound orF the Gulf.O Just saying!O If you areD coming, be sure to make reservations. We want to make sure we have enough food and tables set up for this fun-filled event! (See ad on page) Save the date for October 18th. It marks the return of the Ladies Dinner Dance! It was so named when the Commodore’s wife was asked to plan the party. It is somewhat funny that the duty now falls to my husband, “First Dude” Chris Ferry, who will take up the mantle. We have planned fun casino activities with the option for table sponsorships and live auctions.

US SAILING JUNIOR OLYMPIC SAILING FESTIVAL – June 29-30 A total of 58 boats and 68 sailors competed in the Junior Olympic Sailing Festival, hosted by Pensacola Yacht Club. There was a great mix of 34 Opti’s, (Red/White/Blue), 10 C420’s, 5 Lasers (ILCA), and 9 Opti’s (Green Fleet). PYC sailors included 5 Opti (R/W/B) sailors, 1 C420 team, 3 Laser sailors, and multiple Opti (Green Fleet) sailors. Saturday racing was canceled due to stormy weather, but 5 races were sailed on Sunday. Director James Simkins did another fantastic job of coordinating all of the moving parts to this event, including multiple Bingo games during our Saturday delay (and eventual postponement). Thanks to all of the PYC members, who jumped in Saturday to help entertain the energetic kids. Special congratulations to PYC’s Addison Jones, 1st Place in Laser Radials; Zack Smith, 1st Place in Laser Full; and Matt Grove, 2nd Place in Laser Full. The regatta made over $1,000 for the Juniors!

FLYING SCOT NORTH AMERICAN CHAMPIONSHIP – July 13-18 Three qualification races were sailed for 27 boats to seed them into a Championship and a Challenger Division on Opening Day. Five races were sailed over the following three days. It was very hot, but the weather otherwise cooperated perfectly with afternoon sea breezes of 6-12 knots. Our Commodore’s husband, Chris Ferry, prepared a fantastic Jambalaya dinner, complemented by other fixings from our great kitchen for the Tuesday-evening party. After having a beer keg waiting each afternoon with snacks and recovery food, and having a required 98 awards, the competitors left bestowing the most sincere compliments that we have ever had. The hospitality and courtesies extended by our terrific PYC Staff, the top level Race Management provided by our ace PYC Racing Committee Team, and the energetic hard work by Regatta Chairman Tom Pace, gave the Flying Scot competitors far more than they dreamed would be here for them. They recognized it and appreciated it. The ultimate winner, Zeke Horowitz of Annapolis, who is a renowned sailor with North Sails, complimented our efforts much more than common graciousness requires, and he is familiar with competing at the other top venues for comparison.

This month we are highlighting some of the fantastic PYC members who work so hard to make special regattas happen. These require more time and a bit more effort than our routine regattas. When hosting a class regatta, there is always a registration process and sometimes measurement. The Flying Scot North American Championship required both. RC Chairman Bob Madden helped line up all of these volunteers and stood watch, doing the actual registration with help from Ron Bruce and Bernie Knight. Our Chief Measurer was John Buziak (former PYC member) with help from “many-hatted” Tom Pace (Regatta Chairman), John Domagala, and Murt Guild. Scoring was more of a challenge this time because of the round-robin racing needed for seeding the Championship and Challenger Divisions. Bob and César collaborated on scoring, with César doing most of the tough work, as well as printing for posting every day and determining daily awards. For on-the-water RC work, Richard Brent not only served as the Deputy Race Officer, helping me as PRO, but he also arranged to get four “advanced certified judges” to sit on the protest committees. The ladies who were there every day on the “Signal Vessel,” were Molly Werner, Linda Balink-White, Maryanne Hayes, and Sally Smith. Beverly Stagg and Karen Harp helped enormously when they could. These ladies are all exemplary at executing “starts and finishes.” The “Mark Vessels” were run by the always “reliable and perfect” Oylers - Linda and Jim, at the weather end, with Bob Sutton (one day excused) and Dana Jackson, both of whose work is flawless, “at the gate.” Claire Rees and Jake McLeod filled in for Bob one day, and Jake helped the rest of the week with Atlanta guests, Dora and Ted McGee, at the start/finish line. Nora and Ted had previously helped us with the Opti Nationals last year. These loyal RC folks are bringing growing prestige to PYC in the US Sailing and racing community. This is a team effort that includes others who could not help this time, but who will be volunteering next time.

GIL HACKEL SAILS FOR USODA IN WORLDS OPTI TEAM RACING PYC’s Gil Hackel was selected to be on the US Optimist Dinghy Association (USODA) team representing the USA for Team Racing in the 2019 Optimist Worlds in Antigua. The American team succeeded in making it out of 44 competing teams to be in the final 16 teams to sail for the world championship. As the last team in, they were the 16th seed and were paired with Spain, who was 1st seed for the initial race. USA beat the #1 team and advanced twice more to make it to the final 8 teams! They were then paired against Perú, who eventually finished 3rd, beating the USA. The US’s only other loss was to Thailand, who eventually finished 2nd. Conditions were challenging - lots of wind and waves, making it a challenge to simply keep the boats upright let alone sail competitively. Team USA had an outstanding run, beating the odds. Congratulations to Gil for being part of this amazing achievement. What an experience! Congratulations to Team USA, for winning 3rd Place in Nation’s Cup!

Thirty-four GYA boats left Gulfport, MS, Friday, June 21 and arrived at PYC Saturday, June 22. Of those 34 boats, 4 were from PYC boats including the following: Larry Cost on “TraSea,” Beneteau 473; Mike Patterson, “Belafonte,” Corsair 31; Scott and John Mathis, “Forerunner,” J105; and Rachael and Paul Gillette, “Atlantic Union,” Beneteau 44.7 SD. Congratulations to all who participated with special recognition to Mike Patterson who was the first boat to finish the course and to Scott and John Mathis who won 2nd in Class! The PYC staff did another excellent job of welcoming the fleet with hospitality and Bushwhackers. Also deserving huge credit is Sean Hickey for organizing the PYC end of this event and to Mike and Patty Thomas for anchoring “Miss Jody” in the entrance channel all night and Saturday morning, in order to be at the finish line and to greet the sailors upon there arrival in Pensacola. CAPDEVIELLE SERIES UPDATES

7/6 Meigs Regatta: Fort Walton Yacht Club (report by Hunter Riddle) 20 Vipers participated including Capdevielle & open. Approximately 50 boats total were in the series. PYC used its new main & jib – (The spinnaker will be done soon.) The PYC Viper was clearly faster than before, although we did rip out a keel hold-down bolt. While we think this happened at Challenge Cup, we noticed it on Saturday morning of the Meigs Regatta. The boat is now back in the shop! This was Jake McLeod’s 2nd time in a Viper & his first Viper regatta. Also, this may have been Commodore Ferry’s first time in the boat. PYC ended up 7th out of 12 for the regatta, but had two 3rd places.

7/13-14 Summer Regatta: Postponed due to weather (Barry).

7/27-28 Weatherly Regatta: The PYC Team came to compete! (Results in next Jib Sheet) The Capdevielle Series is a GYA series competition between GYA Clubs. It is sailed in the official GYA one-design boat, the Viper 640. We have two Vipers that are to be used for competition, not day-sailing. One of the Vipers is PYC’s, and the other belongs to the Satori Foundation. We are anxious to have multiple PYC teams competing as we used to do in the Flying Scot regattas. Sailing Director César Travado, who helps train and build competitive skills for PYC members, is a huge asset for PYC. If you want to try out for Viper team-racing, please contact Hunter Riddle, Viper/Capdevielle Coordinator, ([email protected]) or César ([email protected]) to get on the list and schedule some practice time. It is fun to attend, and a cheering section is welcomed!

“FEAR THE FISH!” (NEXT YEAR!) SIR THOMAS LIPTON REGATTA - CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION

This is a wonderful and important piece of PYC and GYA history. Sir Thomas Lipton was a huge supporter of sailing and especially competitive sailing. One-hundred-years ago next year, the Lipton Cup was founded as a friendly sailing competition between the GYA clubs. There were not many clubs in those days. The Fish Boat, designed and created right here in Pensacola, was used for the regatta, which was hosted by Southern Yacht Club. The regatta was won by Pensacola Yacht Club, thus starting 100 years of “trash talk” at the bars. There will be a special competition next year for the Centennial Celebration at SYC, sailed in Fish Boats between SYC and PYC. To represent PYC in the historic 2020 Lipton Cup (and win), Neil McMillan has been restoring his classic Fish Boat. During a recent Thursday Evening, Neil was joined by DJ Johnson and Hunter Riddle, each sailing his own Fish Boat. Three Fish Boats (with rumors of a fourth) are tuning against each other as preparations begin to win the Lipton Cup once again. We plan for history to repeat itself. Please support and encourage these intrepid sailors.

PAGE 15 | JIB SHEET O-N-G-O-I-N-G A-N-N-O-U-N-C-E-M-E-N-T-S THURSDAY EVENING RACING IS SPECIAL! Summer sailing on Pensacola Bay is what many people dream about. You can live the dream! The water is warm, and the sun stays out long enough to enjoy a couple of hours of sailing in perfect breezes. We meet on the beach with your favorite launchable boat, and we sail around the channel markers. Be ready to start at 5:30 pm. Juniors and adults. You will be competing in your own Sunfish/ Laser/etc., or check with Sailing Director César, to determine if a Club boat is available. Afterwards, we gather for hamburgers and beer/soda for only $0.00/person. That is not a mistake! The food is FREE for those who sail and help, but the fellowship is priceless. Thanks to PYC Secretary Steven Orr, for donating the food for us. We have been enjoying a great start to this year.

JOIN THE RACE COMMITTEE FUN! We have several different regattas scheduled to make 2019 an exciting and interesting year. A great way to enjoy yachting at PYC is to participate on a race committee. NO EXPERIENCE IS NECESSARY. It even includes the famous “Free Lunch!” Contact our Race Committee Chairman, Bob Madden: [email protected]. He will connect you with the perfect regatta and position for you.

A SPECIAL RC OPPORTUNITY IS TO BE A REGATTA CHAIRPERSON Most people naturally know how to party, and this is a great way to be that PARTY PERSON. The chair will promote the regatta while planning a special and fun event. The Race Committee will, of course, be completely managed by the RC Chair, and Sally Smith will get the trophies. The NOR’s and SI’s are already written. This is fun and gets you involved with the exciting part of the Club. Ask the Fleet Captain for details and opportunities.

ADULTS INTERESTED IN LEARNING TO SAIL Our new RS Ventures are rigged and ready to go. They are fantastic boats for adults who are learning to sail. They are fun, responsive, but also stable and safe. There will be opportunities for dinghy sailing (C420’s, Lasers, Sunfish, windsurfing) as well as larger keelboats such as Satori’s Tartan 28, “Second Wind.” If you have been thinking about this, it is time to act. Get in line. César will happily teach you the skills needed for loving sailing for the rest of your life. Rates vary.

Experienced sailors following an afternoon of advanced adult sailing instruction from César.

2019 OFFSHORE RACE/RENDEZVOUS REGATTA PYC will host a domestic offshore race/rally to start November 1 from Pensacola YC to St. Petersburg YC. There will be sailboat monohull and multihull fleets. Within each fleet, there will be a racing and a cruising division determined by the number of registrations. In addition, there will be a “Predicted Log Event” for power boats. Power Boaters, this is your chance to participate in the special fun and adventure enjoyed by the sailors who annually migrate to foreign shores. This time there is no need for getting out your passports, getting visas, or registering with the US Coast Guard. The legal work is much simpler when going to another domestic port. Members are even encouraged to drive to the gathering party in St. Pete, which is something not possible in Cuba or Isla Mujeres. Watch for an NOR to be posted soon on our PYC website. For more information, contact: Offshore Regatta Chairmen DJ Johnson and Mike Patterson.

UPCOMING AUGUST/SEPTEMBER PYC EVENTS

8/24 Preemie Cup Regatta 9/7-8 Chappell-Stitt Regatta 9/7 W.A.V.E. on the Bay Event PAGE 16 | JIB SHEET PYC JUNIOR SAILING Claire Rees The PYC Junior Program is growing and having a lot of fun along the way! There is a regular group attending the weekly practices and some have travelled to regattas at other yacht clubs, including Fairhope, Gulfport, New Orleans, and Atlanta. César Travado, our Sailing Director, is leading the group to meet his vision of cohesive teamwork and continued sailing accomplishments. Our sailing team can be spotted in their bright yellow “pinnies.” The Junior Olympic Sailing Festival is an event that I, along with Vicki Fletcher and Betsy Moraski, started 18 years ago, and I am proud to say it continues to be a very successful event. James Simkins, PYC Board Director, was the Regatta Chairman. He did a fantastic job and worked very hard to maintain a busy schedule. He even took the time to call out Bingo games to entertain the sailors during a rain delay. We had the good fortune of bringing in some top level coaching for a Friday clinic and continued that coaching throughout the regatta. Ian Lineberger from the Tampa / Clearwater area is a well-known and accomplished international coach who has coached many sailing champions, including Olympians. Ian worked with our C420 and ILCA (Laser) Classes. Christopher Williford, from Ft Lauderdale, has been a very successful youth sailor. He sailed for Dartmouth, and he and his twin brother, Duncan, are currently running an Olympic Campaign. Chris ran a clinic and coached our Optimist RWB sailors. He also gave a demonstration and instruction on a 29er. Fairhope’s Maddie Murray and Pensacola’s Rick Zern did a great job coaching our Green Fleet. They provided several great races and made sure the whole group had fun! Seventeen of our PYC Juniors participated and proudly represented our Club in the Junior Olympic Regatta. There were 7 sailors in the Optimist Green Fleet: Luke Taylor, Kennedy Miller, Julius Gringas, Andrew Taylor, Alex Galavis, Bryson Phelps, and Grant McKinnon. Five sailors competed in the Optimist RWB Fleet: Connell Bartling, Alec Ward, Claire Perez, Annabelle Chadbourne, and Emmett Perez. One team of two sailed in the 420 Class: Skipper Logan Mastaw and Crew Hailey Ward. Additionally, Addison Jones competed in the ILCA Class (Laser Radial), and 2 of our Summer Sailing Instructors sailed in the ILCA Full Rig Class (Laser Full Rig): Zach Smith and Matt Grove.

Our own César has been working very hard this summer. He is running the Junior Summer Sailing Program during the weekdays, teaching Adult Sailing in the evenings, and he continues to coach our PYC Juniors on the weekends. Many thanks for all that you do for our Club!

With winds predicted to be in the 35 – 40 knot range along with periods of torrential rain, Little Sabine did not look all that inviting. The raft up was canceled along with all the civilian air show flights. The “Blues” did get to fly but for only about 20 minutes.

What we expected. What we got, instead! We all look forward to the next raft up. It is scheduled for August 10-11.

And Now . . .The Rest of the Story! by Bob Kriegel Steve Harp and I decided to repeat parts of his last year’s epic bike ride to Prudhoe Bay, and we set out June 10, 2019. Our itinerary – loosely speaking – was to ride up the east coast, enter Canada at Montreal, traverse Canada and then. . .to go north to Fairbanks, Alaska, explore Alaska, and return home. On the return, Steve planned on crossing the US diagonally – going through Sturgis, South Dakota; I went down the west coast through Utah and Arizona and then across. We split several times to spend time with friends and relatives; Steve in New York and South Dakota, and I in Virginia, Washington, and Arizona! We both did “Iron Butt” days (actually closer to 1200 mile days); Steve tried to avoid the heat coming back (as much as 106˚F), and I avoided Hurricane Barry. Trip highlights and observations! In North Carolina, we did the Tail of the Dragon – always a great adventure – 318 hairpin curves in 11 miles! In the initial leg to Virginia, my bike had problems; I simply switched it out for a different (new) Harley Road Glide in Virginia. The roads and adjacent development in New Jersey were depressing, almost “third-world-like.”

The trans Canada roads are limited. You have to plan your stops – and gas – carefully; and, be able to handle extensive sections of gravel (one section was 9 miles long), and mud. Rough on vehicles, and the operators! Following an 18-wheeler thru the gravel sections was scary, and we both have notches in our headgear (and bikes) from gravel flung by vehicles. Gravel and road bikes do not mix well – we both dropped our bikes – I led both in number and quality! The roads generally traversed valleys – lakes and rivers – with absolutely gorgeous scenery. PAGE 20 | JIB SHEET Food, and gas are expensive in Canada and Alaska. Lodging in Canada is inexpensive, and the hospitality is superb. The wildlife in both Canada and Alaska was incredible. We watched three geese protecting their offspring from a determined fox – and the fox was taking a beating! Black bears were everywhere; with occasional moose, wild horses, sheep and goats, and buffalo. One of our favorite animal encounters – we came down a hill to a bridge with a herd of wild buffalo walking down the shoulder approaching the bridge. We stopped, the buffalo moved onto the road and then the bridge, with an oncoming travel trailer. During the ensuing pandemonium, Steve and I decided we best turn our bikes and prepare for a hasty exit – we then fled, with Steve by my side yelling something to the effect of “faster, faster, they are catching us!”

The great buffalo chase. Our favorite motel!

Both southeastern Utah, South Dakota and the many national parks are spectacular. One of our favorite short rides is a gravel road section of Highway 261 in SE Utah that drops 1500’ in three miles – An exciting, attention-getting experience!

All told, a great trip and adrenalin-charged adventure! It was well worth doing – and repeating!

Special announcement! Susan McKinnon has a new baby – named H.D.! Ian and Susan went riding in Montana, Idaho, and Wyoming; and stopped by Sturgis to see the preliminaries for the world’s biggest bike rally. That is where it happened! She traded in her bike for a new 2019 Harley Davidson Softail with the great 107 Milwaukee 8 engine. She says she is ready for the 318 curves of “the Dragon.” Congratulations Susan!
