Commodore's Corner VOLUME 1 June 2016 Commodore’s Corner As June arrives, the activity at the Club is increasing. The marina is full of boats and the pool is opened. Soon, the junior sailors will be starting their instruction and the swim team will be training. It is great to see the Club come back to life. The Commodore’s Ball will be held on June 11, 2016 this year. Chef David has planned a delightful menu and music will be provided by the Southford Falls Quartet. I’m sure that it will be a wonderful evening. Please make reservations as it always helps the team plan for the events. The annual Blessing of the Fleet will be held on June 19, 2016. Please come down and see the boats dressed in their flags. This event is open to the public and is a showcase for our Club. On June 16, 2016, the Currituck, a self-propelled split-hulled dredging vessel will begin dredging the channel entering the harbor. The dredging activity is permitted until June 29, 2016. The vessel and its crew work twelve hour days and will be working each day. The Club will be assisting the process by allowing the Currituck to tie up to our dock when the day’s work is done. Thanks to Harbor Master Bruce S. Kuryla and Harbor Commission Member, John Nevin, P.C. for their tireless efforts in making this happen. Congratulations to Josh Revkin, who recently achieved a number of successes in international Star Class racing. Josh came in third at the 2016 Star World Championship in Miami crewing for US Finn Dinghy Olympian Brian Ledbetter and second at the Star Sailors League City Grand Slam Regatta in Hamburg, Germany crewing for Norwegian Starboat Olympian Eiv and Melleby. Josh now holds the number one crew ranking for the USA in the Star Sailors League. Josh started his starboat racing career at MYC, crewing for David Bolles. Finally, as I write this letter, Dr. Mark R. Laser, Fady Khairallah, Lou Roberts and Eric Stanley are on the second leg of the ARC Europe 2016 Rally making their way to the Azores. Many of us are tracking their progress on line. www.worldcruising.com/arc_europe/arceuropeitinerary.aspx. Rear Commodore Robert Colum and Brian Williams are back with stories from the voyage from Portsmouth, Virginia to Bermuda, where First Light finished first in its class. We continue to wish them fair winds and following seas.

John MacCausland and Phil Trinter continue to lead the fleet with an impressive 7 point lead, guaranteeing the team will win the regatta as long as they earn a top 7 finish in the final race tomorrow. With the completion of five races, the sailors are each granted one throw out race, where their worst finishing place is removed from their total score. Therefore today’s race was one of the most important races in the series and the combination of aggressive sailors, wind shifts and unexpected changes in wind strength made Race 5 even more challenging than the previous days races.

While miserable weather canceled the practice race on Saturday, the weather improved providing beautiful weather for the 44 boats, their crews and skippers for the remainder of the regatta. The Boston Harbor Star Fleet would like to thank the membership of Cottage Park Yacht Club for their help and support for our recent Marks Star North American Championship. The competitors appreciated our warmth and hospitality, which helped make this a memorable premiere Star Class event. They were very impressed with how the club mem- bership volunteered their time, crafts, and effort to make this International Championship possible. In addition members opened their homes to more than 60% of the competitors who traveled to CPYC from seven countries on four continents....These events tend to get larger than life and the bar often gets raised for the next host to top. CPYC should be proud from the very positive feedback we've received; this message will be spread world-wide within the sailing community in the coming months. Special thanks to Philip Marks for helping make this event a remarkable success, and to Gary MacDonald for spearheading the club-wide effort.
