We were in the process of planning a replacement for the old clubhouse, and we felt that the new facility would be able to accommodate that number. Once again, I feel we were correct in our as- sumption, and the new facilities are serving the existing membership extremely well. Fast forward to July 2021. Our family membership has been at the 150 mark for months now, with little fluctuation. Last week at our Fourth of July Celebration, Linda Lind informed me that we had reached our cap on Associates as well. The first time that has happened. PYC is experiencing a sig- nificant increase in the number of people in- terested in sailing and belonging to our club. This is fantastic news for PYC as an organiza- tion, and hopefully representative of an in- crease in interest from the public in our sport. Having travelled to several out-of-town regat- tas recently, and talked to their members, we are unique in this surge. A lot of sailing clubs out there are struggling. I think the bottom line is, whatever we are doing to promote the club and our sport, we are doing it well, and we need to keep doing it. Linda Lind, our membership chair has been doing a fantastic job of managing this growth and keeping up with all the new names and faces. Thank you, Linda! Lastly, I was informed this morning of the passing of long-time member Harvey Howalt. Harvey had been ill for several months fighting prostate cancer. He was a competitive racer, ocean sailor and played a mean game of Croquet. Most of all he was a good friend. I suspect that there will be many a glass raised in his honor in the near future.

Mueller was the team’s foredeck, and according to ‘With Grace’ skipper Chris Johnson, Mueller had stepped into a line that looped around his foot just as the spinnaker filled. Mueller was jerked off the boat where he dangled upside down by his foot, about 8 to 10 feet in the air, before plunging into the water where he was dragged alongside the boat, still connected by the line. Crew members rushed to bring him back on board, where they took turns performing CPR, while another teammate of the eight-person crew called the race committee to get help. Several team members aboard the vessel had completed Safety at Sea training provided by the Coast Guard, Johnson said, but there was little more they could do except call for medical at- tention. Johnson said Mueller had spent two to three minutes in the water by the time his crew could slow the boat enough to bring him back aboard the ship. Though he was wearing a personal flotation device, it was of little use because of the way he was positioned in the water. Two boats from the race committee arrived to assist, but they had no medical personnel on board, according to crew members. Eventually, a speedboat came to take Mueller to Guemes Island, where a medical team received him. The crew was uncertain whether Mueller still was alive when the speedboat arrived. They re- ceived a call shortly afterward with the news he had died. The Skagit County coroner’s office said an autopsy was scheduled for June 25 and that it would release information on the cause of death by June 28. Johnson said Mueller had been a member of the With Grace crew since the purchase of the boat in 2014. “Greg was a very key part of our team,” said crewmate Ken Jones.

    Portsmouth Number List 2019 The RYA Portsmouth Yardstick Scheme is provided to enable clubs to allow boats of different classes to race against each other fairly. The RYA actively encourages clubs to adjust handicaps where classes are either under or over performing compared to the number being used. The Portsmouth Yardstick list combines the Portsmouth numbers with class configuration and the total number of races returned to the RYA in the annual return. This additional data has been provided to help clubs achieve the stated aims of the Portsmouth Yardstick system and make adjustments to Portsmouth Numbers where necessary. Clubs using the PN list should be aware that the list is based on the typical performance of each boat across a variety of clubs and locations.

  • Recommended Division Assignments for Classic Racing Under CRF
    Recommended Division Assignments for Classic Racing under CRF Produced by the CYOA Technical Committee The CYOA Technical Committee has released 2020 Classic Yacht Racing Guidelines, a document that provides recommendations to Organizing Authorities (OA’s) planning to conduct races under the CRF rating rule. Part 2 of these recommendations states that “Yachts shall be assigned to divisions based on their original design date when they have been equipped and built with methods and materials consistent with that original design or that are appropriate for their division. Variations from original equipment, materials and methods may be accepted at the discretion of the OA, and may also be addressed via CRF rating formulae and factors.” Section 2.2 of these recommendations goes on to state that “Yachts shall be grouped into divisions based on the following guidelines,” and describes these divisions as follows: Vintage: Yachts designed before January 1, 1950 and built, maintained, and restored with materials and methods consistent with the original design. Classic: Yachts designed on or after January 1, 1950 whose rudders are attached to the trailing edge of the keel with at least one pivot point on the sternpost, and that are rated by CRF with Keel Type 5 or Type 6. Modern Classic: Yachts designed on or after January 1, 1950 and typically before January 1, 1975, whose rudders are separated from the trailing edge of the keel and that are rated by CRF as Keel Type 3 or Type 4. Spirit of Tradition: Yachts typically designed on or after January 1, 1975 whose rudders are separated from the trailing edge of the keel and that are rated by CRF as Keel Type 1,2,3,or 4, and whose design embodies an appreciation of classic yacht or traditional workboat shapes and aesthetics.

  • US Sailing Rig Dimensions Database
    ABOUT THIS CRITICAL DIMENSION DATA FILE There are databases that record critical dimensions of production sailboats that handicappers may use to identify yachts that race and to help them determine a sailing number to score competitive events. These databases are associated with empirical or performance handicapping systems worldwide and are generally available from those organizations via internet access. This data file contains dimensions for some, but not all, production boats reported to USPHRF since 1995. These data may be used to support performance handicapping by affiliated USPHRF fleets. There are many more boats in databases that sailmakers and handicappers possess. The USPHRF Technical Subcommittee and the US SAILING Offshore Office have several. This Adobe Acrobat file contains data mostly supplied by USPHRF affiliated fleets, a few manufacturers, naval architects, and others making contributions to database. While this data file is generally helpful, it does contain errors of omission and inaccuracies that are left to users to rectify by sending corrections to USPHRF by way of the data form below. The form also asks for additional information that anticipates the annual fall data collection from USPHRF affiliated fleets. Return this form to the USPHRF Committee c/o US SAILING. How do you access information in this data file of well over 5000 records for a specific boat? Use Adobe Acrobat Reader’s ‘FIND” feature, <CTRL-F>. Information currently in the file will be displayed for each Yacht Type/Class upon request. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________
