GCYC s/v Kia Orana, Catalina 36 s/v Blown Away, Capri 18 Page 4 of 11 …a little dinghy Macho Man by Dudley I may not be a racer, but that doesn't mean that I'm above showing off my sailing skills whenever someone is watch- ing. There is nothing better looking than a perfectly trimmed sailboat beating to weather, wind in the hair, spray on the face, boat healing at its most efficient angle. And there is, or at least was, never an excuse for using the motor when there was wind blowing. That would be a sign of weakness. Teresa and I had sailed our Catalina 27, Invictus, up to spend Friday night in Alameda before heading over to a raft-up at Clipper Cove the next day. Saturday morning the wind was ripping down the Oakland Estuary. Clearly using poor judgement, I decided it would be more manly to beat up the channel than to use the motor. We set off on a port tack and making good speed, but little progress, we tacked back to- ward the other side of the channel. And we tacked back, and forth, and back, and forth. Motoring boats were passing us on our left. They were passing us on the right. And we kept tacking. I was having fun against the challenge, but had I been more attentive to my mate, I would have noticed that she wasn't sharing my glee. We'd probably tacked about 40 times when Teresa stomps down below muttering, “I'm never going sailing again.” No sooner had she ducked her head inside than, BOOM! CRASH! Suddenly the mast was bent at a 90 degree angle with the lower part draped across the deck and the upper part dragging alongside with the sails madly flapping in the water. Curiosity getting the best of her, Teresa came back topside to see that we had a problem and her anger slowly gave way to helping me figure out what to do. We fired up the old Atomic 4 and got control of the boat. Being in no immediate danger, we decided to head for the nearest dock which happened to be an abandoned collection of pilings and rotten wood with ugly nails menacingly protruding as potential hazards. Probably not the best dock to use in such a blow, so we motored onward down the channel. We were soon joined off our starboard side by a police boat that had noticed our misfortune and come to offer assistance. Assuring them we were fine and we needed no help, which would have been another sign of weak- ness, they left us to figure out what to do with the damage.

  • Parent/Sailor Manual
    PARENT/SAILOR MANUAL Dear Parents and Sailors, Welcome to the LBYC Summer Sailing Program! Our goal for the summer is to instill a lifelong appreciation for sailing and yacht racing by creating an environment that promotes sportsmanship, safety, and the fun of being on the water. 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. I look forward to sharing a fantastic summer with both new and returning sailors!

    AUSTIN YACHT CLUB TELLTALE October 2020 AYC October Surprise – Fall Fling Fleet Regatta FEATURED: J 80 Fleet J80s upwind, October 2020 informal race, skippers left to right: David Wahlberg, Mark Foster, Terry Schertz Photo by Bill Records Message from the Commodore How to Be a Part of the Process Recently some members have questioned how to bring their ideas for and concerns about the Club to the attention of the Board of Directors. 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.
