October to December 2019 The Potter Yachter Page 1 The Potter Yachter Newsletter of the Longest Lasting West Wight Potter Club in the World Oct/Nov/Dec 2019 Report: Cruiser Challenge XX by Dana Suverkrop Photo: Person Don Russell Hungridge (left) and Russell Swartz show what they can do with Burgundy Splash, a P-19, on Monterey Bay. T he Cruiser Challenge was launched as planned on August 2-4, and once again turned out to be another qualified success on all fronts. After a slow start, the registrations for the Cruiser Challenge XX started coming in, and by the end of July the list of all the usual suspects were entered, assuring a good turnout and an excellent outcome for this event. Monterey is one of the few places the Potter Yachters go to where they can experience open ocean sailing and a range of weather conditions and challenges.

Page 19 Page 2 The Potter Yachter The Commodore’s Corner By Eric Zilbert Bye-Bye 2019 Well, we’ve come to the end of another year of Pottering and I say to all: Well done, well done, indeed! Yes, we have had a stellar year on the water encompassing an impressive array of the lakes, bays, rivers and estuaries of our state, not to mention the broad Pacific Ocean. From the sources of the San Joaquin River at Huntington Lake, high in the Sierras, to its confluence with the Sacramento in the Delta, down, through, over and out the San Francisco Bay, and across the blue Pacific off Monterey, we did it all. We did it well, and as documented in our newsletters, we looked pretty good doing it. This issue of the newsletter is a perfect example of the scope and quality of our efforts. Its 24 pages are crammed with stories, pictures, and even poetry! This is literature! Think of that! Literature. Taken as a whole, the 7 issues produced this year showcased eighteen or so club events plus assorted miscellaneous additional outing/incident reports. I personally spent more than 25 days on the water in various club events, and I am certain that without the club and the efforts of the members who volunteer to coordinate these sails, I would have sailed a lot less. Thanks to everyone that led a trip, contributed to the newsletter, or just pitched in to help someone launch or retrieve their boat. I am looking forward to our next meet up on December 8th for a presentation by Robert and Jeanne Crawford on their trip to Hawaii aboard the Cal 20 “Black Feathers.” We will have a short business meeting before the presentation. Also, in preparation for our meeting on January 26th, forward to me any names you might care to nominate for officers, and any comments about the past year’s sails that might inform the production of a proposed Sailing Calendar for 2020. Here we go again! Fair Winds! -Eric From the Editor: Happy Thanksgiving! I’d like to take a moment to thank all of the year’s contributors for their part in producing our newsletters during the sailing season. As the editor, I truly appreciate getting the news items, announcements, and after-action reports sent in by members. (It sure beats writing them myself!) To all my Yachter friends and contributors over the past year: THANK YOU! Wishing you a wonderful holiday season and a Happy New Year! -The Editor Club Events on the Horizon See the Online Calendar Dec 8 (Sun) Presentation at OYC: Black Feathers in TransPac (Robert) Meet at 10am in the Regatta Room to nominate Potter Yachters officers for 2020; after that, Robert and Jeanne of the Cal20 Black Feathers will make a presentation Jan 26 (Sun) Annual Meeting at OYC (Eric Z) Brunch @ 9am, then 10am-1pm meeting in Regatta Room; optional nautical gift exchange afterwards. Call OYC if you want to overnight at their dock The Potter Yachter Page 3 Lake Hennessey a poem by Joan Savarese We set off quite early for Hennessey Lake, And drove fast away in his air-conditioned truck. With hope that this wasn’t a drastic mistake. The morning passed slowly, sometimes with a breeze, The weather gal said it was bound to be hot. At lunchtime we docked, ate our lunch under trees. But if we ain’t got courage, heck! What have we got? By now we were sweating, the sun was real hot, But if we ain’t got courage, heck, what have we got? The ride up through Napa was vine-y and green. We drove with high spirits, enjoying the scene. Some families were fishing. The closer we looked Drove into some fog, dense, chilly and wet, The more it seemed fish that they caught were pre-cooked. And thought, “Maybe this is the weather we’ll get.” The afternoon promised to get even hotter. But heat never drove off a true Potter Yachter. The sun reappeared. We came round the last hill. There before us was Hennessey, glass-smooth and still. Back sailing, it took us a while to realize A tucked away treasure, a jewel of a lake, We’d no longer be Potters, we’d be Potter fries. With this kind of beauty, who cares if we bake? Decided t’was wise not to gamble with luck, Hauled boats out of water, jumped into that truck. Was Labor Day weekend, but nary a crowd, No picnicking, swimming, or big boats allowed. The lesson we’d add to that old Potter Primer: We tried not to notice the air growing hot. When sailing in ovens, you must set a timer. Rich was there as our trailers pulled into the lot. You might scramble your brains if you get them too hot, If you ain’t got brains, heck, what have you got? Rich helped us get ready, to get us afloat, We noticed he hadn’t brought his own boat. When things were more settled, Rich wished us “Good Luck!” Officer's Club Commodore: Vice Commodore: Newsletter Editor: Eric Zilbert Rob Sampson Phil Marcelis [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] P-19, #629, Riptide P-15, #367, Espero P-19, #1487, Family Time P-15 Fleet Captain: P-19 Fleet Captain: Webmaster: David Bacon Carl Sundholm Phil Marcelis [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] P-15, #2636, Ah Tiller the Fun P-19, Dagmar Secretary/Treasurer: Website: www.potter-yachters.org Kevin Crowder Facebook: fb.me/PotterYachters [email protected] ComPac19, Aurora Page 4 The Potter Yachter (CC XX continued from page 1) The venue always offers an abundance of slips in the marina, a comfortable yacht club with a friendly and experienced staff and a variety of restaurants and motels in the local vicinity. After getting settled in, it makes a very good fit. As a top tourist destination in the country, the Peninsula Photo: Person Don has been bringing in visitors in ever increasing numbers to attend many world class and international events throughout the year. The recent production and airing of the miniseries “Little Big Lies” has bolstered an influx of curious visitors looking to see if the pictures on the television are as beautiful as the views of Monterey and the Central Coast. To the sailor who attended this weekend, the challenge was not only the racing, but the extra effort required of him to get here to participate. Once he did arrive, he would be richly rewarded by the experience and all those questions, concerns and what if’s, quickly vanished. We were treated to some of the best sailing weather seen in recent years. The winds were good, but not overwhelming. The seas were relatively flat. The temperatures were typical Monterey conditions – sixties during the day and fifties during the night. As is often the case, the gloomy, foggy clouds blanketed the sky, Bruce McDevitt sailing Fungi (P-15) past but were high enough not to affect visibility. a sea lion barking ‘King of the Rock!’ A group of us arrived before the event on Thursday in Monterey, namely to beat the crowds and to find parking. Arriving at night or before 9 a.m. was a decided advantage – open vehicle/trailer spaces were plentiful. I counted about eight open spaces in the area that we had reserved for “block” parking in the past. Some of the early arrivals were: David and Sharon Soule, Don Person, Guy Light and me. On Friday, some of the Monterey arrivals sailed up north along the coast to meet the sailors headed down from Moss Landing. On the way, we witnessed plenty of seabirds, seals and even saw a whale or two. According to my GPS, I had gone almost 6 miles and had yet to see the Moss Landing contingent, so I tacked and headed back to port.

  • The Potter Yachter Reminder: Think Safety! As Rob Sampson Found Out, It’S the Little Things That Get Us
    The Potter Yachter Page 1 The Potter Yachter Newsletter of the Longest Lasting West Wight Potter Club in the World June 2016 Report: Wind and Waves in Moss Landing by Phil Marcelis Starting at around 9am on April 29th, several of us converged on Moss Landing. We arrived at various times on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday but we all faced the same threat of strong winds and churning waves outside the harbor. “We had 8 boats,” Bud Kerner observed in his posting on the Trailer Sailor Forum. “Friday and Saturday, the water was very rough, with winds of 15+ knots.” Those who picked the wrong time to go out were greeted with a formidable swell, making the entrance channel uncomfortable to transit. The inner harbor was flatter, but still a bit windy and cold. The small boats stayed within the inner The entrance channel can be treacherous at times. harbor, except for David Bacon who appeared to glide along the waves nonchalantly on Saturday.

  • 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. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________

They worked hard, obviously cared and arranged a very successfulF event. Typical weather, Thursday through Sunday, was good. The mornings were overcast with moderate winds. Race day, Saturday, there was less overcast and an almost sporting wind. On Thursday, I arrived at noon expecting open parking. Wrong! There were just three car- trailer spaces in the overflow lot and Dan Phy and I took two of them. After rigging, launching and docking our boats, Goose, Dan, Dave Bacon and I went out and ate at the wharf. On Friday, most of the rest of the registrants showed up. Again, thanks to Goose's arrangements, reserved parking was available. Sharon and David Soule and Phil Marcelis helped Goose patrol the spaces, keeping them free of tourists who were too bewildered to pay attention to signage.
