But hold on . We will definitely be making up for this during our spring and summer months. So hang in there with us, there’s more fun to come! Yes, that’s right—more fun to come, starting with our Annual Opening Day event on April 7. Don’t miss this celebration of our fifty-first year! For our newer members and those new to the yachting community and protocol, this event kicks off the boating season with the installation of this year’s commodore. Opening Day ceremony and activities are planned and coordinated by Junior Staff Commodore, Tommy Wheeler. I hope you all will support this special event. Other notes of fun and progress for 2018: My letter last month reviewed several of the new community programs we are initiating at Navy Yacht Club Long Beach in support of our local veterans. Following our successful Long Beach VA Hospital PIER (Partnership In Effective Recovery) Center clothing drive in January, I met with representatives of Long Beach VA Hospital and initiated a partnership in support of their Women Veterans Program (WVP).

  • Cadet Dinghy
    Cadet Dinghy “Viking” Appendix 2 THE CADET SQUADRON In the early 1930's, Cadet Members of the R.G.Y.C. competed in a conglomeration of small craft. Ern Armstrong recalls that when he joined the club in 1933, the cadet section was comprised of the 12 foot cadets, "Firey Cross", owned and sailed by John Boocock, on which Ern sailed for the last three races of the season and "Viking", owned by Tal and Jim Searle, "Tasma", a flat-bottomed ,low wooded hull approximately 14feet long, owned by the Club, "Teddy bear", a half-decked rather heavy boat owned by Geoff Wood, and "Westra", a semi-decked 12 foot cadet, owned by the McAllisters. At that time the boat storage shed was approximately 40 feet by 30 feet fronting the roadway outside the club opposite Transvaal Square, about in line with the eastern end of the present Junior Squadron clubhouse. In about 1935, two 14 foot boats were added to the fleet. These were "Mulluka", owned by Chick Fleet Snr., and sailed by Jim Ritchie and "NV", a 14footer with narrow beam and a high aspect mainsail built and skippered by Norm Wray. And two more 12 foot cadet dinghies were also added to the fleet, "Caress", built and skippered by Bob Curnow and "Dolphin ", owned and skippered by Wally Wiggs. About this time the Cadet section acquired half of the Sea Scout's shed owned by Mr. Ev Hurst, now the tender dinghy storage shed. This move avoided the long lift from the original shed on the roadway.

  • Introduction to the Championship
    Introduction to the Championship Optimist Fleet at CGSC The Optimist is the world’s most popular youth sailing trainer in existence with over 150,000 vessels registered with the class association. The Optimist is sailed in over 120 countries and it is one of only two dinghies approved by World Sailing exclusively for sailors under 16 years of age. At the London Olympics in 2012, 80% of all boat skippers were former Optimist sailors, most of them having reached international level in the Class. So congratulations! You are part of a rich and great international tradition here at CGSC, and you have a lot to look forward to stepping into the competitive world of Optimist Racing. But first, what is the Championship Fleet at CGSC? Red, White, and Blue Explained Within the Optimist Circuit, the competitors are divided in Fleet Racing (more on that later) by age into three divisions. Sailors fall into the different fleets based on age, not skill level White 10 years old or under Blue 11 to 12 years old Red 13 to 15 years old In the United States the Optimist Class is overseen by the USODA (United States Optimist Dinghy Association) and they host sanctioned regattas all over the United States (USODA Qualifiers). Our ​ ​ ultimate goal in the CGSC Championship Optimist Fleet is to qualify for the World Championship one day. It is the highest honor an Optimist sailor can receive, and only 5 sailors are allowed into the Worlds per country. CGSC has the distinction of being the only club to send almost all the sailors representing the US two years in a row! (1984 and 1985 optimist worlds) so the potential for success in Optimist Racing is there.

  • FEATURED: MULTIHULL FLEET Summer Is Behind Us for the Year As We Approach Fall
    AUSTIN YACHT CLUB TELLTALE September 2020 Sailing during Covid-19 Sail safe, stay healthy! Message from the Commodore Hopefully the heat of the FEATURED: MULTIHULL FLEET summer is behind us for the year as we approach fall. The City and County have recently moved from Covid Stage 4 Restrictions to Stage 3, and hopefully to Stage 2 soon. Unfortunately, given the orders from the City and County that limit gatherings, we have had to cancel the Annual Banquet for this year. Given the lack of sailing and other activity this year, we have also decided not to present most of the Annual Awards. In place of the Sailing Awards, we are asking for nominations for Special Service to the Club Awards for those who have gone above and beyond during this crazy year. Nominations can be submitted via the website. More details in this issue. The Board will review the nominations and make selections. However, take heart, the Blue Duck Award will be presented at the Annual Membership Meeting along with the Special Service Awards. The Blue Duck nomination form is also on the website. The Board is planning a couple of Covid-compliant regattas for the weekends of October 10th and 17th. See Vice Commodore Diane Covert’s column for more details. As of now, the Skippers meetings will be via Zoom before the regatta, and trophies acknowledged by Zoom afterwards. More details online and in this issue of the Telltale. Although we have had some much needed rain, not much of it has ended up in the lake, so look for dock moves starting very soon.

  • Blast Reaching at the NSW States Photos Neil Waterman ©
    Blast Reaching at the NSW States Photos Neil Waterman © Volume 153 June 2006 NS14 Bulletin President’s Message First of all I would like to introduce myself to those who don’t know me as by virtue of being elected NSW President I am also the National President under the current constitution. This will change under the proposed revisions to the constitution whereby the President will be elected. I have been in NSs for 20 years mainly based at Northbridge although I have moved in and out of the Association as Hugh and Penny’s boat interests have changed (eg FAs, Lasers, MGs, 29ers, 16’ skiffs, and yachts). This has allowed me to have some exposure as to how other classes are run. For the last couple of seasons we have had three NSs in the family and I am keen to see the class get back to the strength it had a number of years ago. In this context I would like to outline a number of actions I think we need to take to help rejuvenate the class and bring the numbers participating at a class level back to where we used to be. There is no doubt there is a lot more competition for people’s time nowadays, but I feel that we have an opportunity to position this class as a great way for people to use the time they have. The key challenges are to get people sailing in regattas and to get people building new boats again. First, I think we need to market the NS14 using the strengths of the class to demonstrate that this class will suit a broad spectrum of sailors.
