T RANSPARENCY P ROVIDED AT N EWPORT H ARBOR YACHT C LUB B OARD OF D IRECTORS’ MEETINGS by Catherine Martin Wolcott At the December, 2007 NHYC members’ Annual Meeting, Commodore Bruce D’Eliscu announced a new policy for Board meetings during his term of office. Remembering that a few members had expressed interest in increased transparency on the part of the Board several years ago, Commodore D’Eliscu decided to invite CABO members to sit in on Board of Directors’ meetings as observers. Each Board meeting currently has one seat (and a dinner!) reserved for members who want to attend the 2009 meeting and watch the Club’s officers at work. Since I was one of the members who had expressed an interest, Bruce invited me to Parties be the first of the Board’s guests at their January, 2008 meeting. Sitting in at the Board of Directors’ meeting turned out to be highly educational, as well as surprisingly entertaining. March 5 The educational part of the evening was seeing how hard the Board works for its Fiesta With Flair membership, and how seriously committed individual Board members are to furthering yacht racing and racing fleet development. Most of the discussions that occurred at the March 6-7 January meeting involved allocating financial and physical resources in a way that The Starting Line supported yacht racing, encouraged recreational sailing, and enhanced NHYC’s leadership in the sport. March 8-9 The entertaining part was watching (and participating in) the dialogue between members. The Board is focused but collegial, and they welcome input on agenda items Fly South from guests at the meetings. The dinner served during the meeting came as a complete surprise – it’s worth attending just for Chef Polly and staff’s fabulous three-course meal. March 10-11 Maybe it isn’t always lobster, as it was in January, but it’s probably always delicious. Pool Deck Pleasure Commodore D’Eliscu deserves thanks from the membership for his initiative and responsiveness in making this shift in the Board’s long-standing closed-door policy. March 12 Seeing what actually occurs at Board meetings is only likely to enhance the members’ Libations and Awards trust in its leadership. Any members who wish to sit in on the remaining meetings during Commodore D’Eliscu’s tenure can contact him to let him know they’re interested. It’s a great experience if you want an inside view of how decisions affecting the Club are See Flyer for All the Details! made. 3 RACING 2008 FINN M ASTER underway, the sailors dominate the town event were seeded and remainder and are warmly regarded. divided randomly.

    July 2005 Official Publication of Alamitos Bay Yacht Club memorial day re g a tta 2005 Volume 78 • Number 7 by Chris Ericksen Photos by Rich Roberts ne hundred fifty one boats in seventeen divisions competed in the 2005 ABYC Memorial Day Regatta the weekend of Saturday and Sunday, May 28-29. O The turnout was the largest for this regatta since 1981 and featured not only a total of 51 Naples Sabots but also 35 catamarans, the largest turnout for multihulls in recent memory. ABYC’s Memorial Day Regatta has replaced what was the Hurricane Gulch Regatta for the local Hobie Cat sailors, and so there were not only Hobie Tigers sailing in a combined Formula 18 catamaran fleet but also some vener- able Hobie 16’s, which are experiencing quite a renaissance. While ABYC members Jeff Newsome and Tom DeLong made the jump into Sixteen’s for the weekend, the winner was a team with a familiar last name: Alter. Jeff and Cody Alter won in the eleven-boat class invented by the legendary Hobie Alter while Newsome took third. The eleven Formula 18’s also saw some familiar names as Dan DeLave and Eileen Haubl took second to Keith and Kurt Christiansen among the 11 cats in the division. Even the top three A-Cats had familiar ABYC names: Pete Melvin topped the fleet ahead of Pease Glaser in second and Jay Glaser in third. On Alamitos Bay, there were five divisions of Naples Sabots. Current ABYC Club Champions Freddie and Fred Stevens were one-two in the Senior Sabots, but Fred IV carded five firsts in six races while Fred III won on a tiebreaker with Jane MacNaboe.

This manual provides valuable information on boat safety, necessary gear, daily events and much more. Please take the time to thoroughly read it with your sailor as it’s very important that rules and expectations are understood by everyone participating in our program. An agreement on the last page must be signed by each parent and sailor prior to the first day of the program. Everyone will be much better prepared for this summer’s activities after reading this manual. If you have any questions or thoughts regarding any of the following information, please don’t hesitate to ask. If your call goes to voicemail during program hours, it means I am assisting another sailor or on the water. Please leave a message and I will get back to you as soon as possible.

An exciting summer of sailing, adventure, friendship, and fun awaits you whether you are a first-time sailor or are returning to continuing building your skills. We have worked hard to develop a youth sailing program that is fun, challenging, and safe. Our program is designed to teach solid sailing fundamentals, instill Corinthian spirit, and respect the marine environment. Our instructors are ready to challenge you to work hard, play hard and learn something new each day! There is tremendous satisfaction, pride and empowerment that come with learning to sail a boat on your own. This handbook has been designed to help you prepare for a great sailing experience and will also be a useful reference as your child progresses through the program. Learning to sail will be quite different than anything your kids have done before and the sport is loaded with unusual terms and equipment to learn about. We’ve included a lot of reference information in this guide that you can use with your kids. We are always looking for ways to improve what we do for the kids and an important way we gauge our success is by feedback from parents and our young sailors. Please contact me by phone or email with any comments, suggestions or issues you may have.

  • 2019 One Design Classes and Sailor Survey
    2019 One Design Classes and Sailor Survey [email protected] One Design Classes and Sailor Survey One Design sailing is a critical and fundamental part of our sport. In late October 2019, US Sailing put together a survey for One Design class associations and sailors to see how we can better serve this important constituency. The survey was sent via email, as a link placed on our website and through other USSA Social media channels. The survey was sent to our US Sailing members, class associations and organizations, and made available to any constituent that noted One-Design sailing in their profile. Some interesting observations: • Answers are based on respondents’ perception of or actual experience with US Sailing. • 623 unique comments were received from survey respondents and grouped into “Response Types” for sorting purposes • When reviewing data, please note that “OTHER” Comments are as equally important as those called out in a specific area, like Insurance, Administration, etc. • The majority of respondents are currently or have been members of US Sailing for more than 5 years, and many sail in multiple One-Design classes • About 1/5 of the OD respondents serve(d) as an officer of their primary OD class; 80% were owner/drivers of their primary OD class; and more than 60% were members of their primary OD class association. • Respondents to the survey were most highly concentrated on the East and West coasts, followed by the Mid- West and Texas – though we did have representation from 42 states, plus Puerto Rico and Canada. • Most respondents were male.
