Prospective members hear about BCYC in some of the strangest ways. It could be casual conversation with someone you are sharing a table with at a happy hour, a discussion about someone moving into the area and concerned that they won’t be able to find a slip for their boat, or overhearing the conversation of a couple walking around Balboa Island looking over at BCYC and wondering what all the activity was about. These are all recent examples of how some of our newest members found out about BCYC.

R-E-S-P-E-C-T What it Means to We!
Many of us think of BCYC as a place where we should be able to do and say what we wish. It almost sounds right until you give it some thought – it’s more complicated than that.
My speech and conduct at the club affects not only my enjoyment, but also yours, and the workplace environment the club provides for its employees. We all need to go beyond just saying and doing what is politically correct. We need to create an environment built on respect for each other.
Respect involves both a positive feeling of esteem for a person, as well as actions and conduct that reflect that esteem. Respect is a two-way street. If you want to get it, you’ve got to give it. Rude conduct indicates a lack of respect.
A wise man I married used to say, “I don’t discuss religion, sex or politics.” It is a pretty good start towards not saying things that are likely to be offensive to other people. Let’s add a couple of more action items. I won’t try to discuss something that is important to you or me when you or I have been drinking. I won’t smoke in a place where you are eating or in a place where my smoke will blow in your direction. I will work to understand where the boundaries of your personal space are, and stay out of it. If you do something that bothers me, I will assume you had a good reason for doing it and will discuss it with you when the time is right for both of us. I am asking you to do the same.
If we can each make a few small changes, we will be well on our way to creating the environment built on respect for each other that will mean even more enjoyment for WE at our club!
Colorful Kites - Teamwork
Rear Commodore Tom [email protected]
Rear Commodore Tom Madden
The Newport Ocean Sailing Association will host the 65th Newport to Ensenada International Yacht Race April 27, 2012. Many exciting changes are coming to this race, including a new finish line near the Hotel Coral and Marina. This excellent resort facility will also serve as the site of NOSA race headquarters and awards ceremony.
BCYC has distinguished itself with four of our members currently serving on the NOSA board, including Paul DeCapua, Jerry Moulton, Jerry Shandera and myself. It’s exciting to be part of such a great team in such an important year. For sure, there are ample challenges and often the old Chinese curse, “May you live in interesting times” seems to be at play. However, with teamwork, we are sure to have a very successful race, which is good for Newport Beach and BCYC.
Teamwork and supporting each other is important at our club. I can think of no better example of this than the 2011 Clambake team headed by Lynn and Wendy Noah. This cruise was simply outstanding; the team has certainly set a high bar. The highlight for me was the group kite-flying event. I counted at least 40 colorful kites flying against the beautiful blue, end-of-summer skies. The warmest part of the scene was BCYC members looking skyward at their dancing kites, working together, and creating such a wonderful scene of friendship and happiness.
These kites didn’t fly by themselves – it took the creative leadership and foresight of the Clambake team and members working in concert. I have been very fortunate at BCYC; many members have helped my kite to fly. Who has helped you fly your kite? How many kites will you help to take wing?
Albert Camus wrote, “Life is a sum of all your choices.” Make your choice, get involved, support the team and help a kite take flight — during the most interesting of times.
To address specific needs of the club, a number of sub-committees have emerged during the past few years, including the interior design and marina groups. The latest to form is the information technology (IT) sub-committee. All three will serve under the umbrella of the house committee. This arrangement will allow them to meet as required, rather than on a regular monthly schedule.
As this year starts to turn around the final buoy, many
Consolidation and Change of the projects we embarked on at the beginning of this year, including the Columbia Room replacement chairs, marina renovation and several IT issues, have been completed. Two remaining projects that need to be addressed in the near future are renovating the lower-level multi-purpose room and relocating the Ship’s Store. Preliminary design work has been done for both these important changes, which should help get them completed in a timely manner.
Thank you for your continued understanding of disruptions that these facility improvements cause as we make every effort to minimize any inconvenience to members.

Summer has come to an end and I have started my senior year in high school, and assumed my position as junior commodore. It is surreal to see where I am now and to think that when I first became a junior member, I was in elementary school. I truly have grown up at BCYC and am extremely lucky to have done so. I joined the Junior Board of Directors to help the junior program in any way I could; in the past few years, the program has really

produced results. Every year, the number of participants in the program has grown along with the integrity and talent.
Some of my goals this year include making junior events as fun and member-friendly as possible, creating a bigger presence and understanding of the junior board at the club, improving junior events that support BCYC charities and the environment, and lending my hand to anything else that will help the club grow and prosper. I appreciate what this club has done to assist me so far in my life and I want to give back.
Please direct, by email, any questions or suggestions you have regarding the junior board to me.

The Summer Sailing Program has come to a close and many of our Sabot racers are celebrating a successful racing season, exemplified by the BCYC Sabot National teams. This event consisted of four long days of racing at the venue run by Newport Harbor Yacht Club.
Qualifying took place on day one, while two flights were determined on the second day by how well each sailor placed that day. The Championship Series took place the final two days, where sailors only raced against those in their flights. Special congratulations to Parker Warden who placed third in the Iron division. Regattas like the Sabot Nationals are really a test of physical endurance and mental concentration for our young racers. It is not unusual to spend more than eight hours on the water in a single day. This event marks the end of a busy season and for some of our junior sailors, it was their last Sabot Nationals, as they look forward to trying their luck at double-handed sailing.
This summer, a growing number of serious racers developed an interest in double-handed racing. This
is primarily the type of racing pursued in high school and college. After competing for years in their Sabots, sailors may often advance into Club Flying Juniors (CFJs) and Club 420s. BCYC is excited to offer more instruction in these bigger boats and I
hope to see many of our teams competing in the local Perry and Shadden Series in the future. This could lead them to represent the club and compete in the major U.S. Sailing youth regattas. All of our sailors have the potential to reach these levels as long as they never forget the basics learned while racing Sabots.

Haida Gwaii (formerly known as the Queen Charlotte islands) is a series of islands at the most westerly tip of Canada, made up of quaint villages and secluded inlets. This area of incredible, breathtaking beauty is one of the best, and very secluded, king salmon fishing spots. The Lodge at Englefield Bay is a custom-built floating facility that accommodates 44 guests in cozy, double-occupancy rooms. It is situated 15 minutes from those amazing fishing holes. The pristine wilderness is awesome and the salmon and halibut are plentiful. To get there, fly from Vancouver to Sandspit and then finish the journey with a 30-minute helicopter ride to the lodge.
Recently, I spent three days with my son Ramsey, other relatives and some friends from Cal Poly Pomona at the Lodge, enjoying some of the best fishing I have ever experienced — an outstanding adventure. Ramsey caught a 58-pound halibut, three coho and one king salmon. I was lucky enough to catch two halibut, three king and three coho salmon. We came home with a total of 200 pounds of fresh fish filets!
I would like to put a trip together for next year, Aug. 5-10. A deposit of $300 per angler is required to hold your spot. Please contact me to discuss trip details so that we can put together this BCYC fishing trip to Haida Gwaii in 2012.

For the first time in class history, the Farr 30 World Championship was held on the West Coast, in San Francisco, as part of the 2011 Rolex Big Boat Series held September 8 - 11. Twelve Farr 30s from around the world competed in this event, including Rhonda Tolar’s Wild Thing and her six-person crew that included BCYC distinguished racing members Joel Buffa, Dan Rossen and Linton Weiss, as well as Chris Raab, Russ Silvestri and Mike Pentecost. Typical San Francisco Bay weather conditions prevailed, with rough seas and winds sometimes exceeding 30 knots. Boats rounding up or down, and shredded kites were the order of the day, with Wild Thing losing two during the competition. They placed fifth, an incredible accomplishment considering the caliber of professional, world-class racers they were up against!

Out of My Face, Indiana (Jones) Degenhardt!
Years ago, while I was vacationing in New Zealand with Staff Commodores Jim Emmi and Dick Montgomery and our wives, I decided to sign up for a class-five river raft trip, a trip only for experienced rafters in great physical shape. Emmi and Montgomery were adamant about not going, claiming I was nuts.
The next morning, the boys appeared, ready to be part of this trip – sure enough, it was an adventure of a lifetime! When we got to the river we were loaded onto a 10-man inflatable raft and received a full five minutes of training. It was touted as a 10-mile trip downriver complete with rapids and countless surprises. However, they never mentioned the 300-yard tunnel ride in the semi-dark. We were enjoying the scenic view as we progressed through the turbulent rapids, not knowing the big one was just around the corner.
Up ahead we could see the mouth of the tunnel approaching fast, as we were cascading through the water at 30 miles per hour, feeling more like 60. Just before we hit the entrance, we quickly pulled all fingers on board along with the shipped oars. The boat felt like it was out of control, bouncing off the sides of the tunnel with no more than a three- to four- inch clearance on each sid e in this Temple of Doom. We thought that was exciting until we reached the end and discovered a 10-foot drop-off into a large body of water. We hit the water with such force the raft folded up like a taco. I ended up with the top of my head crushing Jim Emmi’s face into the apex of the raft bottom. What a ride – we were stuck in this position for several seconds until the raft resumed its function as a boat, instead of an entrée!

Four-Legged Friends and Farewell
As many of you know, Bill Pappas has left his position as BCYC Food and Beverage Manager with plans to work on his bucket list, something he had neglected for some time. We want to thank Bill for his hard work and dedication while he was here, making things run smoothly at every event. I would also like to say thanks for a job well done
to Sami Cromelin and Trevor Herrera, wait-staff who made valuable contributions
during their years of service. Best of luck to you in the next chapters of your lives.

The Las Commodoras-sponsored dog show Sept. 3 was a real success. The dogs were amazingly well-behaved as they proudly displayed their obedience training, cute tricks and unique swimming and sailing outfits. First
place prizes went to: Malaika Grace, owned by Deborah Hines, obedience; Riley, owners Commodore Ted and Connie O’ Connor, best tricks; Reagan, owned by Director Michael Bryant and Nancy Isbell, swimsuit (costume looked like a pair of lifeguards, created by Nancy); Annie,
owners Michael and Karen Borland, people’s choice; Ginger, owned by Lynn Drury, best look-alike. Many thanks to all who participated in this event, especially Randy and Jodi Barb for donating the dog food and
doggie treats, and Bill Long, show judge.
Our field trip Oct. 20 will take us to the Irvine Museum and will include a docent-lead tour of their California art exhibit, followed by lunch at Big Canyon Country Club. Watch for more details on the club website and entry-way poster. Sign up early, as this is a limited-capacity event.
Although we are sad to be losing Carole Fields as o u r first vice president, programs,
we are happy for her and Gene, as they retire and spend time at their new home in Idaho. Carole has done a wonderful job this year planning and implementing our many Las Commodoras programs and we will certainly miss her creativity and leadership.

Mark your calendar for a Temecula Wine Tour Sunday, Oct. 9. BCYC has made arrangements with Grapeline Wine Tours to leave at 8:30 a.m. from the club. A continental champagne breakfast will be provided while we head to the wineries. After visiting some of Temecula’s finest wineries, we will enjoy a gourmet picnic lunch at Mt. Palomar Winery. More wine tasting and tours will follow. What could be better than four wine tastings, gourmet food and winery tours without having to drive? If you haven’t been to this wine-growing area lately, you will be in for a big surprise, as the wineries have changed, for the better, in the last five years. Sign up early, as space will be limited. More details are available in the club weekly e-blast.

Ahoy. I Hope you are had a great boating summer.
All BCYC docks are getting a new coating. After much research, we purchased a state-of-the-art acrylic based polymer non-skid coating — a very light grey — to seal and protect the wood.
E and F docks have been completed, with the rest to follow. The process requires that existing cleats, corner rollers and rub rail be removed before the coating can be applied. During this renovation, new rub rail and 14” cleats, designed to meet the current Newport Harbor standard, will be installed throughout the marina.
You have seen Juver Garcia and Mario Nieto, our awesome maintenance team, replacing dock boards as necessary. They have played a very important role in accomplishing this huge undertaking and we thank them for their efforts.
Please visit rboc.org, the Recreational Boaters of California website, and stay informed about important information affecting all boaters in California. Current issues that will have an impact on your boating dollars include the ongoing bottom paint discussion. Take time to read the Boaters Brief, published by RBOC, on the club bulletin board.
