(Continued on page 6) 3 FBYC History… Juniors in the 1950s By the 1950s, junior war babies and baby boomers began their involvement in club racing programs. The 1940s concept of the “Junior Seamanship Academy” meeting for classroom instruction during weeknights in Richmond seems to have faded with the club’s move for Urbanna to Deltaville in 1949. By mid-decade of the 1950s, the junior program was relegated to a couple of hours on several summer weekends at FBYC. While there was no designated junior boat at that time, many junior migrated to the wooden Alcort Sailfish because of its small size and modest rig. However, some older juniors began to move into the wooden cat-rigged 11-foot Penguin that was still raced primarily by adults in large, hotly-contested fleets. One of these juniors was Mary Reid Dunn, teenage daughter of Reid Dunn, one of our founding members, and recipient of the Henry Hutcheson Junior Memorial Trophy in 1953. She received a lot of press coverage when selected to race in the CBYRA Junior Championship held at the U.S. Naval Academy in 1954. The July 12, 1954 Richmond Times-Dispatch described her qualifications for this competition: Miss Dunn has been “crewing” for her mother and father since she was eight years old, and only last fall started skippering her own boat, a Penguin named Flotsam. Since then she has given a good account of herself, both in the club series at Fishing Bay and at regattas in the lower bay, winning the Penguin trophy in a large fleet at the Vir- ginia Sailing Regatta held last weekend at Irvington. The Virginia Sailing Regatta is sponsored by five clubs in the lower bay and always attracts the best sailors of these clubs. And, after winning the Penguin class at FBYC’s Annual Regatta held later in the summer, the August 23, 1954 Times-Dispatch admiringly exclaimed: Most popular victory of the weekend probably was Mary Reid Dunn’s win in her Penguin, Flotsam. The 16-year- old Richmond handled her craft nearly faultlessly in the three races. The spunky Miss, who also captured the Virginia Sailing Regatta earlier in the Summer, came from a fifth place start to the second she needed in the final race. In 1955, she again won first place in the Penguin class at the Virginia Sailing Regatta held at FBYC that year. Truly, she must be considered one the most outstanding junior sailors in our club’s history. Another junior of this era also became a media darling. Wunderkind Perry Sinnickson is shown at the helm of a Sailfish in the accompanying picture published in the Richmond Times-Dispatch of August 21, 1955. The picture was captioned as follows: EARLY START – (see photo on right) Perry Sinnickson (left) and Anne Haskell , two 9 ½ year old sailors from Richmond, smile happily from the deck of their Sail- fish during yesterday’s Fishing Bay Yacht Club Regatta. The pair proved that it is never too early to start sailing by copping first place in the regatta’s Sailfish class. ►► The next year, she extended her success over much older sailors by moving into the Penguin class. The June 7, 1956 Richmond News-Leader pictured Perry and her crew, Nancy Zoppa, crossing the finish line in first place for the second time that day in a club series event. A three-column newspaper article bore the headline: Skill, Not Luck, Won Race for the 10- Year Old. Later that year, Perry was awarded the Henry Hutcheson Junior Memorial Trophy, undoubtedly the youngest recipient of this trophy in our club’s history. Other distinguished juniors during the 1950s were Johnny Hawksworth, Anne Eppes, Jack Moseley, and Ray Munsch. As evidence that little has changed in the last 50 years, the pic- ture here (on left) of spectators observing the Chesapeake Bay Midget Championships held in Annapolis in 1958 shows a group of parents intently and anxiously focused on the race- course, no doubt restraining their instinctive urges to coach from the sidelines. The two ladies on the right are FBYC mothers. Sue Sinnickson (with hat) and Ray Roper (with sunglasses) watch as Perry Sinnickson and Randy Roper compete in the regatta.

In a rare encore performance, Perry Sinnickson Guy returned to demonstrate her mastery of the racecourse in last year’s 66th FBYC Annual Regatta. She and crew Jeanne Hamilton borrowed a club 420, with which they were unfa- miliar, and proceeded to win 3rd place overall in their class. 4 Opening Day and Blessing of the Fleet 2006 Saturday, April 22nd Racers, Cruisers, and Jr’s, everyone is invited and encouraged to bless the fleet and enjoy this great event.
