December 2013 December 2013 Offi cial Publication of Alamitos Bay Yacht Club turkey day Volume 86 • Number 12 regatta Rich Roberts photos BYC: where sailing careers are born Pease Glaser, Pete Melvin and the Golisons are longtime Alamitos Bay Yacht Club members whose names are Afamiliar in world sailing, but competitors from beyond Long Beach also have found ABYC to be a launching pad for full-on careers in the sport. A few upped their eminence in the 66th annual Turkey Day Regatta Saturday and Sunday, one of several nationally geared events staged by the club. Max Brill and crew Zach Malcolm from San Diego fought off Quinn Wilson and Riley Gibbs from Santa Barbara and ABYC, respectively, to win the 29er skiff competition geared for youthful prospects. Seven of the 29er teams, tutored by ABYC member Howard Hamlin, a world champion in three high-performance classes, will go on to compete in the Orange Bowl Regatta at Miami after Christmas, followed by the 29er Nationals and potential qualifying for the ISAF Worlds in Portugal next year. Meanwhile, Matthew Long from Santa Barbara overcame an 11th place in the fi rst Laser race to win four of the next six and edge ABYC’s veteran Kevin Taugher by one point. Matt Struble of San Diego repeated his sweep in the A-Class Lucas Pierce and crew Evan catamaran North Americans at ABYC last August by winning all seven Heffernan of Santa Barbara lead 29ers into windward mark races, followed closely by Melvin with six seconds and a third. Now they are working together to boost their chances in next February’s A-Cat Worlds in New Zealand that Melvin has won twice. New Zealand? Melvin, a partner with Gino Morelli in the Orange County-based multihull design operation, spent much of the last two years Down Under as lead designer for Emirates Team New Zealand’s near-miss America’s Cup campaign. Now he’s back living in Huntington Beach and resuming his personal sailing career. “Next time I think [the AC] will be run with smaller, less expensive boats to get more teams involved,” he said. Meanwhile, as for Struble’s prospects, Melvin said, “He’s an exceptional and dedicated sailor and a great engineer through his work with Nissan.” Glaser, an Olympic silver medalist, and her husband Jay (ditto), also are in the sailing business as Glaser Sails, whose product many of the 137 boats wore this weekend. She and crew Damon LaCasella won fi ve of the seven F-18 catamaran races, which were almost as much fun as the Olympics even if the usually reliable Long Beach breeze failed to stir any whitecaps all weekend. “But the racing was really close,” she said. “There was a lot of place changing.” With America's Cup behind him, Pete Melvin was back ...continued page 6 on an A-Cat inside save the date Commodore’s Comments ...................................2 Tree Trimming Party/Happy Hour .......December 6 Vice Verses .........................................................3 MSG/RMC/Social .............................

The ramp and docks are gone and are replaced by a very large crane and barge. As of this writing, the dredging is complete and the project will T be moving on to the noisy piling installation phase. Our members have taken great interest in the construction and have formed a committee GOSSIP “The Grand Order of Seawall Supervisors” headed by Sue and Dave Crockett. They are keep a ship’s log of all the activity and are reporting out to the membership. Feel free to join them for donuts and coffee in the morning or bring your lunch down to the club and get caught up. GOSSIP has made friends with the construction team and our burgee is prominently fl ying on the crane. In early November, the Social Advisory Committee held an important planning meeting for the construction timeframe. We’ve decided on a theme “Back to the Future” as the construction is taking us back to our roots of launching boats off the beach! The plan is to weave this theme into our activities over the next few months. Our fi rst event, the “Kick-Out Party” was a roaring success – we look good in our construction supervisor clothes. Dana Bell had the most useful tool belt complete with bottle opener and corkscrew – what else would a yachtie need? December is booked with the traditional holiday parties: Lido Fleet, Cal 20 Fleet, Sr. Sabot/Keelboat Fleets, and ABYC Christmas Party. Please come and join in the celebration. There are some new fun classes in the pipeline ukulele lessons and swing dance lessons (work on your dancing skills for the Rat Pack Party in February). Race Management and the Board has spent many hours discussing regatta logistics, rewriting the Notice of Race and worrying if anyone would show up. Where to launch boats, how to move people to those boats, will trailers move on the beach??? Well, the junior’s solved most of the problems for us. In October, they moved the CFJs to the beach and have been sailing off the beach in the CFJs, Lasers and Sabots. The only big issue they’ve had is the tide. The junior whaler got stranded high and dry during a lunch break – but with team effort it made it back into the water. And, Turkey Day – 154 boats strong all launching off the beach or at other locations throughout the bay. Many thanks to the Cal 20 fl eet and Steve George for a fantastic job! The regatta went really well with most competitors saying they liked launching off the beach. We had a few minor hitches….cars on the beach and a non-member junior being stuck in the elevator…but over all a GREAT event. Many thanks for our PROs Bob Anderson and Martyn Bookwalter for a job well done. Also, many thanks to the club staff for a fantastic turkey dinner during the regatta. The night prior to Turkey Day Regatta was our Celebration of Champions. Again, many thanks to the Cal 20 Fleet, Patty Nash and Jeff Merrill for organizing a wonderful evening. Congratulations to all the Burgee and Bill Ringer Award recipients. ABYC had another commendable year and brought home many championship titles. Welcome Allie our new junior director! Please take a moment and introduce yourself to her. She has a remarkable racing and coaching background and we are very lucky to have her join the ABYC team. She has already brought some great ideas to the junior program and we look forward to seeing our junior program grow under her leadership. We all owe a tremendous THANK YOU to Jennifer Golison for her volunteer work as the interim Junior Director. The theme for the Naples Boat Parade is Vintage Christmas. This goes well with our “Back to the Future” activities so we’re starting in early December with the annual tree trimming evening – please wear your ugly Christmas sweaters and, if you like to bake, bring three dozen cookies for a cookie exchange. We’re going to try to create a vintage look for our tree. Bennie Schwegler, Martyn Bookwalter and Ed Spotskey are collaborating on the fl oat design for the parade. If you interested in helping with the fl oat, please contact Robin Townsend. The Board had a long meeting in November. We had many important decisions to make. Our insurance broker, Susan Stinson, came and reviewed our insurance coverage and explained potential liabilities. We will be working on improving our procedures around using club trailers, borrowing boats and our employee manual. The yard was a major discussion. The Grounds Committee has been hard at work for several months studying and pricing paving options for the boat yard. The Board voted to pursue repaying the yard with asphalt. Although we all preferred the concrete vision, the cost was prohibitive for us. We have funds available in the Leasehold Capital Trust Fund and the repaving will meet the requirements of one of our milestone capital improvements under our lease with the City so, barring any unforeseen issues related to permitting or other requirements, the project will go forward. More information will be forthcoming as the project steps are decided. We also approved funding for the boat ramp, new hoist wings and railing that are upgrades needed as part of the City’s dock replacement project. At the Board meeting, we discussed our early memories of the club. The best description was that the club was like the Taj Mahal to us as young sailors. It was perfect for what we wanted as juniors! So, our goal as a Board is to bring the club back to its former glory. Last year we tackled the deck. This year, new docks, new pavement, new ramp and a lot of paint to the outside of the club house will go a long way to get us to that goal. If you’re missing sailing this winter, please get in touch with a Vice Commodore Chuck Clay as there are lots of on-shore projects to be completed before Opening Day. Jennifer Kuritz sou’wester • december 2013 • page 2 viceverses obble Gobble!! We have just completed our 66th annual Turkey Day Regatta hosted by the Cal 20 fl eet. As you all know, the basin is being rebuilt and this was the fi rst regatta G where we had to go back to “the days” when beach launching was the norm.

  • Peter Churchill, 2003
    Peter Churchill, 2003 Local boy Peter Churchill grew up near Turnpike and Old San Marcos Roads. He attended Goleta Union School, followed by Santa Barbara Junior High and High Schools. The Santa Barbara Peter and his two older sisters grew up in was a little different than the one we know today. Homes were not built as closely together. One could not quickly walk into town or to the house of a friend. “Living out in the country, your friends were far away, but there was always something to do; you had to entertain yourself.” One of the ways in which Peter would pass the long, lazy days of summer was to go fishing with his dad—one of the elder Churchill’s favorite pastimes. But it wasn’t until Peter was grown that he became really involved in boating. His brother-in-law, John Yabsley, started sailing a 15-foot Snipe that the two would tool around in. At the time, there was much small boat activity in the Santa Barbara harbor—Flatties (Geary 18s), Snipes, Mercurys, and some Stars. John and Peter joined the Flattie fleet sometime around 1964. “It was a well-organized group. We had a summer schedule that started in May. We sailed on the ocean and on lakes, and there was a big Memorial Day Regatta.” Peter clearly prefers sailboating to powerboating. He owned several Flatties through the years; in one of these, Citation, he placed second in a Geary 18 international regatta held in Oregon. He continued racing Citation in many regattas until 1977, when he sold the boat.

    Signal Hoist Santa Barbara Sail & Power Squadron United States Power Squadrons© Monthly Newsletter December 2018 www.sbsps.net Page 1 www.usps.org COMMANDER’S MESSAGE Cdr. Dennis Johns, AP In case you haven’t noticed, we made a significant change in the Signal Hoist this year. Not only did we stop mailing a hard copy to a mailing list, we also moved to a new email distribution server (Globalisle.com is no longer a viable option for communicating to the squadron). We are currently using Mailchimp.com for squadron communication and will be scheduling training on how other squadron members can utilize it. The good news is that in making this change, we have saved the squadron $1500 in printing and postage. In addition, we will continue to make changes so that the individual articles of the newsletter are more accessible on our website for easy reference. Virginia and I just returned from a visit to the Santa Barbara Yacht Club and their Monday Luncheon Forum. You may have received an email from me regarding these events. Last Monday (Nov. 26) was a particularly interesting program by a friend of John and Michelle Profant. The friend is a historian and enjoys faithfully impersonating President Abraham Lincoln. I’m truly sorry if you weren’t able to attend, it was amazing. In the process of notifying the squadron of this event, I received several inquiries that indicated that many of you don’t know the details about these events. This year, I have been trying to find ways to expand fun and entertaining events for our members beyond our traditional social events.

  • Racing Association Had Awarded the International Regatta in 1907 to Seattle, So the Contest for the Alexandra Cup Was Held There Early in July
    CHAPTER 5 Early International Races SAIL AND POWER As fae as the kecords go, the first international race in which a Vancouver yacht took part was in Bellingham Bay, at Fairhaven, on July 4th, 1891. The local contender was the Siren, a five-ton cutter, 30 feet overall, with 1200 square feet of sail area. She was specifically designed and built by Capt. Billy Watts, founder of Vancouver Shipyard, to outrace all comers. She had her workout in Burrard Inlet on Dominion Day 1891, when Watts outsailed Andy Linton's famous speed queen May, which was skippered by the old maestro, Walter Graveley. So Watts sailed to Bellingham with a crew consisting of J. W. McFie, Dr. Bob Mathison, D. S. McKenzie, Dr. C. H. Gatewood and Jim McKay. At Fairhaven he picked up a local man who knew the tides. The six competing boats included the Ariadne of Herreshoff design, considered the queen of Puget Sound waters. The race started at 10 a.m., with a nice westerly breeze of about ten knots. The first leg, six miles, was sailed with a started sheet. Siren jockeyed herself into the windward berth and boomed off with mainsail, two jibs and a club topsail. "After getting in the lead in the first half mile," Captain Watts recalled many years after, "the lug of the mast band at the shrouds pulled out, so I took in the kites. J. W. McFie, carrying a marlinspike and a piece of new one inch manila, went up that shroud like a cat and had the shroud fastened in less than five minutes.
