Foul Weather does little to dampen PSPYC Mar ch Events. Alameda YC Land Yachts to Cioppino Night in SUV Limo!

FOGHORN April 2016

Commodore Paul Maheu

Shipmates:

Fully into Spring and steady as she goes. It’s been another busy month at your Club.

March charged in with a full spread of canvas and a bone in her teeth but that didn’t stop Paul Lagier and Company from putting on a fine Cioppino feed once again this year. The Alameda and San Rafael Clubs were forced to shorten sail but not enthusiasm as the ice and dice were rattling, the wind was blowing , and the pints were flowing. Could it get any bet-ter? Maybe next year.

Corned Beef and Cabbage season started early on March 11th at the Meeting Dinner. Good craic, good grub, and plenty of it. The leftovers at the work party were sparkling as well. If you weren’t there you missed it. Speaking of craic, a good many of our Shipmates returned the favor and made it over to San Rafael YC’s hoolie the next evening and were treated to more CB&C, step dancers, and a nice little band. Hal and Elaine’s Maru made us all proud by flying the PSPYC burgee at the guest dock.

Boat owners: with all the heavy weather we’ve been having, please make it a point to come down and check your lines and bail out your tenders or stored boats. A tip of the Commodore’s cap to Lauren Pressler for taking on the mantle of Membership

Chair. Thank you Lauren! Please direct all inquir-ies and prospective members her way.

Finally, we were all saddened to hear the news of our old Shipmate Tony Carter’s passing. A memori-al service is planned for April 2nd at the Club. De-tails to follow.

End of message.

See you at the Club!

Vice Commodore Ingrid Hogan

Rear Commodore Tonja Jackson

Happy Spring Everyone.

I’d like to begin by thanking Bob Rectenwald and Robby and Dolores for helping clean up the galley after a suc-cessful dinner of Cioppino and chicken schnitzel. The cruise-in was just one boat from the San Rafael YC and a limo from the Alameda YC. The weather was full of rain and wind but the atmosphere at the club was great. Eve-rybody will come back next year. Paul and Earlene Lagi-er and crew did a great job. Everybody loved their Ciop-pino.

I was in charge of the chicken and I had great help from Blake and Debbie, Casey, Elaine and Bob. They helped cook, clean and collect. Thanks Team.

According to our Commodore Paul Maheu, the guests had a great time and were very happy. Rear Commodore Tonja Jackson also kept them hydrated and happy.

The meeting night had an Irish theme thanks to St. Pat-rick’s Day. We served corned beef and cabbage and the usual stuff. Everybody liked it. Lilian Maheu and I traded jobs that night. I made the desert and she made the main meal. Great job Guys.

There was just enough for the work party lunch the next day. Thanks to Beb Skye who cleaned out the under the sink in the galley. What a Gal! It looks great.

Next month we have a memorial for an old member, To-ny Carter, who passed away suddenly. It’s scheduled for April 2 at 2p.m. Let’s gather and say goodbye to an old shipmate.

On April 6 we have the Cruising Club of America for a luncheon. Another two BBQ luncheons are scheduled for the same group on April 16 and 20.

I will be on a cruise and will have to miss the upcoming meeting night. Not to worry. Richard Alexander and Kelly Mack have volunteered to be the chefs for our April 8 meeting night dinner. Please encourage and sup-port them. I really appreciate the reservations members make for the dinners. It makes the planning and shopping more efficient.

I looking forward to seeing you all soon.

Thanks to all that have volunteered at the bar, especially to David Greit-zer for making the trip down to help out. I'd also like to thank Paul and Earlene Lagier for their support of Friday Happy Hours, driving from Ripon, Ca nearly two hours each way. I'm open to any member that would like to try out their bartending skills or maybe pour a beer or two. Volunteering at the bar is a great way to get to know your fellow members and familiarize yourself with many of our regular guests. In the upcoming months I'd like to have more club sponsored events, our club is unique, fun, and has lots to offer. I've had a few members present some ideas recently such as wine tasting, once a month game night, an auto show, white elephant sale, and a western day with country music. Suzanne and Tom List will be bringing in their motor home club the 49ers with approximately fifteen motor homes May 14th and have reserved the Strange Angels Band to perform. I hope a few members can be around to welcome them. I recent-ly spoke with Griff Brazil, who plans on having another big barbecue in August. There's many more months that we could have our own events, it's our club so let's enjoy it to the fullest.

I know we have been using plastic cups for quite some-time now and I hope with the boards approval we'll have the sanitizer problem resolved soon. Until then please continue using the plastic cups, as I've seen some using glasses, even washing them by hand "IS NOT SANI-TARY"! I look forward to seeing more member support as I have seen a slight increase lately. One thing we all should remember, some of us like to come to our bar to simply enjoy it, so if you don't have anything nice to say maybe just don't say it!

Join Us for Happy Hour Fridays 5:30/6:00pm

It's always a great time and we will have our band "Strange Angles". If you can, bring an appetizer or snack of some sort, as they are always appreciated and enjoyed! Come, hang out, eat, drink, dance, and have some Friday evening fun and meet fellow club members.

Fleet Captain Glen Bigelow

This month’s report will be a bit brief I'm afraid, I've been out of town. Many thanks to Robby for handling the Saturday work party on March 13th. As per Rob-by's report: 'Rain be damned, some hearty souls still turned out to do their part for the good of the club.'

I know this list doesn't include all who pitched in, but from what I've heard Beb Skye deserves Kudos for taking on cleaning-out under the main dish sink in the Galley (Thanks Beb, repairs to the seal under the sink will be forthcoming). Chris Jannini gets the call-out for 'Yoeman’s duty' for braving the rain to continue re-moving hazardous nail pop-ups, and re-fasten dock planking.

March rains have the lawns and gardens running riot.

April work party projects include (weather permitting): Lawn hair cuts & grounds up-keep More deck rail improvements Water heater up-grades for dish sanitizer

Upcoming Cruise-ins include: Apr 16-17; San Jose Sailing with Old Friends Apr 30-May 1; San Jose Sailing Club

Remember: It's all our Club

Any and all welcome for work parties

Do your part and leave your mark

Our first cruise-out of the year to San Rafael YC on March 12th, was a great, all be it soggy, success. Paul & Earlene and Hal & Elaine brought some great appetizers for cocktail time in the SRYC bar. The highlight being Paul’s great crab dip, but every-thing was delicious.

San Rafael served up their usual delicious corned beef and cabbage, roasted potatoes & carrots, and that terrific soda bread. The meal was followed by an Irish Dance Troupe and they kept the rowdy crowd well entertained. This was all followed by an eclectic Irish Band, who also provided great entertainment.

Others attending the event included Frank Zia & Teri Horn and their guest Terumi; Glen Bigelow; Bob & Sarah Rectenwald; Paul & Lillian Maheu; Sybal Halbauer; In-grid Hogan; Tonja Jackson & her guest, Lamar Bobo; also joining us was Bill & Susie Martin , past members, and their daughter & son-in-law. I hope I didn't forget any-one. We had a total of 21, which was much appreciated by SRYC.

The April 16-17 cruise-out to Sierra Point YC is coming up. This is SPYC’s monthly meeting and will feature live music. Menu and costs haven’t been communicated yet, but they always provide a great meal at a reasonable price. The Napa YC is also attending, so this should be a fun time and an opportunity to meet members from two clubs.

The May cruise-outs include Oyster Point YC on May 7-8 for their Cinco de Mayo celebration, and then to Petaluma on May 21-22 for the American Graffiti celebration asso-ciated with a classic car show and lots of music. I will have more to follow on both of these May events.

FOGHORN April 2016

Treasurer Darrell Struck

The Vice Commodore has introduced a revised fee schedule for dining room rental, galley use, and other items associated with member and non-member events.

The basic fee for dining room rental is $110.00 for mem-ber events and $350.00 for non-member events. The PSPYC generally pays no income tax for income generat-ed by the membership, however, non-member income is burdened by a 23% tax rate for what is defined as “Unrelated Business Taxable Income”. Additional fees apply for ancillary services associated with the dining room rental. Remember that all parties must have a spon-sor and that the member is ultimately responsible for ar-ranging for a bartender, clean-up, payment, and any dam-age to the facility.

Obviously there are exceptions to the basic fee schedule for unusual circumstances and you should arrange with the Vice Commodore for any event that you sponsor for conflicts that may exist. Remember that it is the “Vice” who runs the show in the galley and dining room and is the responsible officer-in-charge. The Vice also controls the schedule that is posted. Everybody loves parties so schedule yours as soon as possible.

Harbor Master Glenda Linn

Spring has sprung with warm days, rainy days, and color bursting out days! Love seeing the freshness of spring and more time to spend outdoors on land and on the water!

Our slip and locker availability is in the process for updates and our waiting list is 5 for large slips. I should have full updates later in April.

With the rains we've been having there has been standing water in traps covering boats, in dinghies and in buckets around the club. Vicky Oswald has discovered mosquito larva in a couple boat tarps and buckets where standing wa-ter has been there awhile. With heavy rains and then warm days it doesn't take long for mosquito infestation to start happening. My thanks to Vicky for taking care of what she has found and we all need to check these boat tarps, din-ghies and buckets and anything that holds water, as we get into the warmer days and spring rains.

Last month I got an email about an urgent voluntary medi-cal device recall with our AED electrodes. They sent me a replacement and Jim Koss checked out the lot numbers. He found that our AED electrodes lot number did not match the recall lot number so we are in good shape with our device and now have a spare. I thank Jim very much for taking care of this for me and luckily we have never had to use the device. Jim has said he would be happy to have a review class should we need to use the AED and I think this would be excellent and important to be more informed should a life saving situation occur. The instructions are fairly self ex-planatory, but it can be intimidating. To have a quick review class some work Saturday Jim is very willing to do if there is an interest with members. Let me know and we'll get something set up on a Saturday morning work party.

March was a busy month with the CCA luncheon, our Ciop-pino Feed/Cruise-ins, a baby shower, our monthly dinner meeting and a cruise out to San Rafael Yacht Club. A lot of hard work putting it all together from Ingrid Hogan, Paul Lagier, Tonja Jackson, Paul Maheu, and Glen Bigelow and all the Volunteer help that goes into these events making them successful and fun! Our biggest Thanks to All of you!!

April 8 is our dinner meeting and I hear that Richard Alex-ander and Kelly Mack will be our chefs. It should be some good cooking :) and I will send out an RSVP as usual, about a week before. See you then and HAPPY SPRING TO ALL!

FOGHORN April 2016

PSPYC General Meeting: Minutes March 11, 2016

Commodore: Paul Maheu

Paul called the meeting to order at 8:13 pm.

Approval of last month’s minutes. Minutes approved.

Welcome everyone. It’s good to see some folks we have-n’t seen in a while. We want to get through this meeting quickly.

Vice Commodore: Ingr id Hogan

Thanks to Lillian, Debbie, Blake, Levon, and Lillian said thanks to Ingrid for dessert. Ingrid really appreciates eve-ryone that made reservations. There’s little waste when everyone does that.

Rear Commodore: Tonja Jackson

Thanks to everyone, Beb, Blake etc. for their help. For now we are still having to use plastic cups due to the san-itizer not working.

Treasurer: Darrell Struck.

Whoever signs off on the Liquor delivery please fold up the receipt and put it in the harbormasters drop box. Thank you.

Fleet Captain: Glen Bigelow

San Rafael tomorrow night. Paul and Earlene have invit-ed everyone to have cocktails on Loadstone at 4:00pm. Dinner at the yacht club is at 6:00pm. They will have a band and Irish dancers, dinner is $25 and he has 23 con-firmed and hopes to see up to 30.

Port Captain: John Peitso

John is not here tonight but Robby will be having the work party tomorrow. He has a voice message from John with a list but hasn’t listened to it. If it rains Robby will have Ingrid help with a list of stuff to do inside.

Harbormaster: Glenda Linn

Glenda was not available to report tonight.

First Mates: Sue Proudfoot

Suzanne, Louie and her will be working on T-shirt de-signs tomorrow morning and trying for a lighthearted design. They will be looking for donations for baskets for PICYA and this will be Friday night on April 1st. Colleen said we should do it before happy hour starts.

PICYA: Sybal Halbauer

She said thank you to Blake. She was happy that we had somebody else to help out. Last year we donated baskets to PICYA and the baskets were well received and she

thinks we should definitely do it again. Blake said there are two free seminars on issues going on with the bay. March 16, in Oakley Ca. on all the stuff we can do to help clean up the bay. On March 29th the governor is sending a special envoy saying what the governor is will-ing to do for the bay. There will be an aquatic of ages workshop on how it effects the bay, etc. Blake said he spoke with a lot of people and found out what the organi-zation is all about. He’s happy that our club is a member. Opening day on the bay is April 24th and if you don’t have a boat you can go out on the bay on the committee boat.

Other clubs volunteer one or two days per month for PI-CYA activities and our club doesn’t volunteer at all. Some of the things they do is the bay clean up on the last Saturday in September and they get thousands of folks to help. If you can get one member to participate for one day it’s a big help.

Sybal added that the theme for opening day is Hero’s. If we want to decorate boats we have lots of hero’s we can choose from, any kind of hero will work.

Old Business:

Paul said we have had the Friday happy hours and have been averaging about 40 people. Half from the club, half from outside. If you’re around, participate, it’s a good time.

This past Saturday Paul and Earlene did a GREAT job with the Cioppino feed. Paul Lagier said it was a fairly long day, Hal and Bob spent the whole day helping and after the dinner helped with washing the dishes. We had a lot of members here and some of the other members could have helped with the dishes.

Ingrid pointed out that Bob, Robby, and Delores helped with washing the dishes and thank you all very much.

Paul Maheu: If you paid up your dues your membership card is available.

Glen Bigelow: He will be collecting the money for the San Rafael yacht club tomorrow so they only have to deal with one person.

Barb: The Foghorn looks wonderful.

Paul Lagier: Officer phone numbers, and emails should be listed in the Foghorn.

Paul Maheu let the group know that former member Tony Carter has passed away. There was the ceremonial Eight Bells and a moment of silence to memorialize and honor Tony.

New Business:

None.

Motion to adjourn. Motion approved at 9:09pm

San Rafael YC Cruise-Out & St. Pat’s Party March 12th

Irish Band

Irish Dancers

Corned Beef,

Cabbage & More Yum!

FOGHORN April 2016

Greetings from the USA I returned to California from Antarctica earlier than planned and wanted to re-count some of the last part of summer season 2015-16.

We enjoyed our 'traditional Icestock' music and chili cook-off on Jan 2, 2016. There were more than a dozen bands playing outside on the stage with folks

dancing and singing, having a good day off. The Ross Island Yacht Club of Ant-arctica won the chili contest; it was most flavorful, with just the right 'bite'. A bit 'weird' to do a New Years Eve count-down the night af-ter....it's a harsh con-tinent.

A friend and I were able to descend into the Ob Tube; a body size metal tube that is set into the ice which

was about 7 feet thick and the water depth about 40 feet, the tube extends about 18 feet so you're able to look up at the underside of the ice, and peer down toward the bottom. I saw tiny fish and krill and could hear a seal, but we weren't able to see any. (Photo of me coming up out of the tube above).

The Polar Star, the US Icebreaker, was clearing a channel in mid-late Jan. We were given a tour at the end of our work day, always good to go aboard and see the world from a deck. The ice edge was only about 15 miles out and the ice was only one year build-up, so was an

easy task for them to create and enlarge an opening. (Photo at the ice pier)

Last year was the first time that the resupply vessel came in earlier than the Fuel ship. This season saw the same arrangement and the Ocean Giant arrived in late Jan and we began our off-load process. Our Supply department goes to 12 hour shifts, I was glad to be on days 6 AM- 6 PM and not the night shift. Weather co-operated and the containers came off in a timely man-ner. Every container destined for McMurdo Station is placed somewhere and most of them are emptied by our crew. We check manifests to note the correct item, correct quantity and which warehouse or storage area it needs to be moved to. I was a IT-28 Forklift driver this season, so I was moving crates to those designated are-as. Long days in a forklift and fortunately it was fin-ished in a 6 day week and we had Sunday off.

I signed a contract for next summer season, probably head to Christchurch late Sept. for my 14th season in the United States Antarctic Program.

Happy Spring, LaVonne Weber

FOGHORN April 2016

by Glen Bigelow from information provided by Paul Lagier

Have you ever wondered what goes into building a Ferro-Cement sailboat, besides cement? Enjoy the following:

Paul Lagier’s father, Fred, was the founder of Fred Lagier and Sons and their firm built 44 boats, and 6 were of Ferro-Cement. Paul’s latest boat is a 44’ ketch, with design roots that date all the way back to the 1900’s when Colin Archer designed and built Sailing Lifeboats for the Norwegian Lifeboat Institution. The specific design for the Norsk 44, used a Ferro-Cement design by Colin Brookes.

What does it take to build a boat that’s capable of lasting 40, 50 years or longer? Many assume the strength in cement boats comes from the cement. Not so! The strength comes from a complex, gal-vanized steel framework, similar to that used in steel boat construction. The cement forms the wa-terproof skin.

Paul is using the steel framework design devel-oped by his father, Fred. When his boat is fin-ished, it will be one of the soundest Ferro-Cement sailboats found anywhere in the world.

Paul has graciously provided the following chro-nology on the the latest, Fred Lagier and Sons, Norsk 44, which was started in Nov. 2007.

The beginning...setting the centerline

Building a Ferro-Cement Boat

Installing the vertical frames.

The frames as drawn in the original boat plans were transferred to this lofting platform at full scale. Each frame and the spine of the boat are drawn on the platform and then built to full scale accordingly.

Side frames in place, starting to take shape.

FOGHORN April 2016

Pipe bent around the frames create the hull’s beauti-ful contours, and this fully framed structure is what distinguishes the Fred Lagier ferro-cement system from all other systems.

Deck pipes and hatches installed.

The mainmast deck collar, which the mainmast will pass through to be stepped to the keel.

Deck frames in place.

Installing the longitudinals (3/4” galvanized pipe). The longitudinals must first be wired in position and then will be welded to the frames.

Keel receives extra reinforcement. Steel rod & re-bar is inserted and welded throughout the keel and then cold galvanized to prevent corrosion.

Building a Ferro-Cement Boat, continued part 2

FOGHORN April 2016

First layer of lath.

Finished layer of lath, from the bow.

Once plastered, the keel will be ballasted with lead and filled full of concrete.

Once the frames and tubing have all been welded together, the next step is wrapping the entire hull in a metal sheath called the armature. This consists of a layer of 3.4 gauge galvanized metal lath, fol-lowed by 2 layers of 1/2” 19 gauge welded mesh. Then, vertical and horizontal strands of cold worked 8 gauge galvanized wire are installed cre-ating 2.5” squares, then 2 more layers of 1/2” 19 gauge welded mesh. Then, all layers are locked together by twisting galvanized wire through and around at each corner of the 2.5” squares. (See arrows above).

The first layer of 1/2” 19 gauge welded mesh is added over the metal lath. This will be followed by a second layer. Cross-section of the armature.

Building a Ferro-Cement Boat, continued part 3

FOGHORN April 2016

Port view of the cutlass bearing after third layer of 1/2 mesh has been added over the 8 gauge wire.

Final step in the armature, wire twists at every cor-ner of the 2.5” squares created by the 8 ga. wire.

Ready for Plaster...and I think, already, amazingly beautiful.

After the second layer of 1/2” mesh, the 8 gauge wire stringers are attached.

In the next installment...the Norsk 44 gets a skin. STAY TUNED!

Installation of the 8 gauge wire is complete. Now, two more layers of 1/2” mesh.
