Mike Dow was crowned (literally). MEMBERSHIP Rob Lovell, Membership Chair Russians Hack GTYC Elections?! I was at a gathering a few weeks ago when someone asked my dad, the rocket scientist, if there were really any unsolvable equations. Before he could answer I chimed in: certainly; how the heck did Trump get elected?! I'm sure more than just Hillary have yet to figure that one out. It must have been the Russians! Back here in Traverse City, we guarantee the Russians won't be able to hack our yacht club election this year. With the nomination of an uncontested slate of candidates, the Board has determined that this year's vote shall be taken in person via voice or roll call vote at the Fall Annual Business meeting, scheduled for Friday, September 29, 2017 at 6:30pm. The recently passed bylaws allow for this possibility via Board action, which occurred at the August regular Board meeting. This allows the Club to save the costs and time associated with printing, stuffing, licking, sticking, and mailing secret ballots to all 348 members eligible to vote (not to mention the begging, pleading and prodding to get you to return them so that they can be sorted and counted … for an uncontested slate). The Secretary will be mailing an official notice of meeting soon after Labor Day, in case the Russians hack the Club's email account and translate this month's Waterlines into Cyrillic. Watch your snail mail box for a GTYC postcard! And, just in case you decide the Rear Commodore nominee is an absolute screwball who shouldn't be allowed anywhere near flag officer status, members may vote for a write-in candidate, assign a proxy, or submit a vote for the slate of candidates to the Club Secretary. Any Member wishing to participate other than in person should send an email to the Secretary ([email protected]) either using or referencing the email account under which your Club Membership is registered (i.e. the email address you use to log in to your member profile.). Any email communications to the secretary must be received no later than 6:30pm EST on Friday, September 29, 2017. Keep reading Waterlines to find bios of those nominated to lead our club. We thank all those who volunteer, either in an official capacity or just doing the little things that keep our club functioning. Remember, this election is your opportunity to have a say in our club's leadership. Just remember what Police Chief Link Mattocks said in "The Russians are Coming, The Russians are Coming", " I thought all the nuts went home on Labor Day". From one nut to another, see you at the Club! Doc Rob GTYC Board Candidates GTYC Board Candidates Commodore Candidate - Bob Clark Yacht Club member since 1998, served on the Board of Directors from 2000 - 2006, married 26 years to Heather Anne Lockwood, and proud father to Katie and Finley Clark. Now that the kids are off to college, I find myself with more time to help at GTYC. I consider myself a seasoned veteran of the boating world, spending most of my boating time on small sail and power boats. My core belief about the GTYC is that the membership as a whole is our most important asset, protecting the rights and privileges of the membership is the highest duty for the Board and Flag Officers. Vice Commodore Candidate - Liz Chambers Zimmerman I have been associated with GTYC since about 1971 when my dad and uncles owned The Chandelle. One of my best sailing memories was participating on a J24 in a “cabin boy” race in which the junior sailor had to actually help sail the boat. My family and I still love spending time sailing our cruising boat, our Interlake, and our Melges 24. I have been on the Leland Yacht Club Board for 4 years, and have helped with Race Committee. My husband, Scot, and I have 2 awesome daughters, Katy and Maddy, who both have sailed all their lives. We have been members of GTYC since 2003 when Katy declared GTYC had the best Christmas Party ever! I look forward to continuing club traditions and working with the board and membership. Rear Commodore Candidate - Rob Lovell This coming year will be my 30th year of membership and racing with our club. Through the years I have raced Lasers, Lightnings, Interlakes, J-Boats, Melges, and a few Mackinac boats. I now share ownership in the “Girls’ Boat,” Knockout where I really enjoy being Shore Crew. I started sailing as a cruiser and saw first-hand, as a member of the Vermilion Boat Club, that successful yacht clubs not only depend on a great sense of family, community, and volunteerism, but also thrive with active racing and cruising fleets. I am honored to ask for your support in the continued service of our club as the 2018 Rear Commodore. GTYC Board Candidates (continued) Director Candidate - Mark Clark Thank you for your consideration as a Director for GTYC. I have been a sailboater since I can remember and a veteran of many seasons of sailboat racing in various parts of Michigan and numerous Mackinac races on both sides. I moved to Traverse City in 2007 with my family; Tracey and three sons, Brad, Charlie, and Mitch, all of whom participated in TACS and the high school sailing programs. I was a board member at the Port Huron Yacht Club as well as a Fleet Captain in charge of their racing program. Additionally, I was nominated as a flag officer at the time I relocated to Traverse City where I am an attorney at Traverse Legal. I look forward to serving the club as a board member and hope you will consider me when you vote. Director Candidate - Petra Kuehnis I unexpectedly fell into sailing and sailboat racing while living in Chicago after college. I was hooked after my first race and have been an enthusiastic participant ever since. I love the mechanics of the boats, the dynamics of a crew, constantly adjusting tactics to current and anticipated conditions, and the connection to the natural environment ... wind, water, and weather. The sailing community is a special kind of fantastic people. I’ve been a member of GTYC for the past 13 years. I’ve had the good fortune to sail with a lot of GTYC crews over the years, and am currently part of team Knockout (the ladies boat). I look forward to the opportunity to take a more active role at the Club. Thank you.

  • SKEETA – Float Like a Butterfly Sting Like a Bee
    SKEETA – Float like a Butterfly sting like a Bee Dynamic development of a new market Foiling dinghies have become well established in the last 15 years, since the advent of flying Moth. The foiling catamarans in the America's Cup provided additional impetus from 2013 onwards. Foiling - this unique sailing experience was previously reserved for only a few, mostly pro-sailors. Sailing skills, technical and financial requirements were high - usually too high. This situation is currently changing. Significantly and faster than generally assumed. Scow-Shape rediscovered Today the Scow shape is experiencing an unexpected comeback, not only in small boats. The hull of the SKEETA is based on the proven Australian Moth class Scow shapes. It has been optimised step by step to meet the requirements for foiling. No snapshot The SKEETA is the latest foiling dinghy of the 3rd generation, designed, built, tested and made ready for production by an Australian duo that has been designing Moths with or without foils for many years. An exchange of ideas and opinions with QUANTBOATS took place during the last years. Quite a few wishes and requirements on the part of QUANTBOATS could be taken into account. SKEETA fits perfectly with our philosophy today. Fun throughout the entire wind range Like all our boats, the SKEETA is characterized by good-natured behaviour and excellent all-round characteristics. There is no need to forego performance - on the contrary. This includes perfect foiling behaviour in the lower to medium wind range as well as comfortable, controlled and fast sailing in very light or very strong winds.

He was promoting sailing and establishing friendships as a teenager, and he never stopped doing it during his whole life. We competed head to head for several years, tough competition on the water, but always a renewal of the friendship after the race.
