The great Brigantine Race, BCYC versus Balboa Yacht Club, was a
very exciting event and a fund-raiser for the Los Angeles Maritime
Institute. This Sept. 18 race between two 110-foot wooden sailing
ships — Irving Johnson (BCYC) and Exy Johnson (BYC) — was the
culmination of almost a year of planning and coordination. Early
this year, American Legion Yacht Club representatives contacted me
about the possibility of a race between two clubs. I quickly said
yes and Sail Fleet Captain Paul DeCapua did an outstanding job as
BCYC’s contact person.
These two ships, built simultaneously, are identical, except for
one reef line. They feature 13 sails, 86 lines and require learning
a new language to sail them. The thrill of match racing wooden
ships this size doesn’t come along every day – keep in mind that
boats are carried by ships! Rear Commodore Tom Madden eagerly
volunteered to coordinate the fundraising and crew selection. While
the BCYC crew of 25 was very excited to have the opportunity to
race our ship, all were keenly aware of the fact that the money
raised would go to one of the most outstanding non-profit sailing
organizations, whose goal is to teach responsibility and self
confidence to youth in need. Taking children from the darkest of
economic conditions, showing them the ocean, which many have never
been near, and taking responsibility for a specific job on board
the ship is often life-changing. The results of the race will
slowly fade, but the contribution we will have made to some
disadvantaged youth will remain our entire lifetime.

Fourth down and goal to go is a nail-biting situation for
football fans, particularly when their team is behind. Will the
play be successful? The uncertainty of the outcome adds to the
excitement. For Race Committee, there is no uncertainty. So, what’s
on tap for the remainder of the season?
Double-Handed Races: Racing is always a challenge, but when
there are only two people on board, the work effort multiplies.
Racers hope that the course the PRO (Principle Race Officer)
selects won’t be too difficult. A hint to BCYC racers – the course
will be a mix of up-wind, off-wind, and
down-wind legs. For BCYC non-racers, come out and cheer on your
teams Oct. 8 and Nov. 5.
Hot Rum Series: Like its name, this Series is “hot” with some of
the best in-the-harbor racing you’ve ever witnessed. With many
marks for racers to go around, the PRO usually chooses a zigzag
course, again with the idea of equal opportunity to score big! BCYC
cruising class boats should definitely race in this series –a great
way to spend an afternoon Oct. 16 and Nov. 13.

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. Mention the club to
people and help them understand what we do that makes this such an
awesome place, our waterfront home.
With the wonderful summer days soon behind us, now is the time

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]

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! Visit the club website or farr30.org
for some fantastic pictures from this regatta.

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.

transferring from the Santa Barbara area to Irvine. We look forward
to implementation of his thoughts and ideas, raising the bar for

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

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.

from Heart and Soul. A representative from each BCYC committee
will be present to provide information and answer questions.
