Conversation overheard on the South Beach Harbor fishing pier as our Friday Night Series race boats

approach the finish line. Young man says “Here they come. Going to be a close one!” “A close what? What are we talking about?” his girlfriend asks. “A close finish to the race! See those folks at the end of the pier? That’s the South Beach Y.C. race committee keeping track of the sail numbers and the exact times when each one of these boats crosses the finish line.” “You’ve got to be kidding! You mean those boats are racing? Like, totally drifting is more like it. And if this is the finish line – which, by the way I can’t see, but I’ll take your word for it – then they should all have their eyes examined! Look at them; they’re not even steering this way.” “They’re tacking so they can...” “No, there’s nothing tacky about them, they look nice, but…” “Tacking, not tacky. Let me explain: Sailboats can’t go directly where they want to go, so they…like… turn.” “Then how do they get home; take a bus?” “Great question. For years, mille-niums even, men have tried to use the wind to move things from one place to another on the water. Then one day Mrs. Aker’s son, Spinn, made a sail to pull a boat. But, alas, the “Spinn Aker sail” as it was called,

was like a balloon that could only go where the wind blew it: down wind. Then one day the Sales sisters, Jibb and Mayen carelessly hung their washing on the poles of their husbands’ fishing boats, and clothes-pinned the bed sheets securely fore and aft. Just then a gust of wind caught the laundry and the two boats were blown away from the dock with the women aboard! Frantically searching the shore for assistance they both spotted a large sign on a store announcing a SHOE SALE! Immediately Mayen grabbed the tiller and trimmed her sheet in tight and her sister Jibb was quick to do the same, and lo, the first sail boat race was on. Both boats came about smartly and zigzagged to shore where both ladies scored a swell pair of wedgies 70% off sale price. Those two women, Jibb and Mayen had instinc-tively demonstrated the technique needed to sail from where they were to where they really, really wanted to go, even though common knowl-edge said they couldn’t! And that, my little chorizo, is what makes sailboat racing the great sport it is.” “You know something? You’re not only a real handsome dude, a great dancer, and mix a killer Rob Roy cocktail, but you know everything about everything; you’re Mr. Wonderful!” He shrugged “It’s gladly the cross I’d bear.” “What does a ‘Cross-eyed bear’ have to do with anything?”

The Jazz Cup on Labor Day weekend officially marked the beginning of our fall sailing season.

The 110-boat fleet was one of the largest turnouts in years, and what a glorious day of downwind sail-ing it was. Managing a race of this size is an arduous and tremendous accomplishment for our volunteers, the Race Committee, Flag Officers of both SBYC and BYC and eventu-ally the Protest Committee and the Chief Judge. All did a masterful job and tested their deep skills. We appreciate all of your efforts. The many races, regattas and events on the water that our Club sponsors really help define our Club; therefore I encourage all of our member volunteers to continu-ally improve their skills and edu-cation through the opportunities available to all from US Sailing, local seminars and participation in race committee activities at many other clubs around the Bay. It is important to acquire knowledge and experience that can be brought back to South Beach. Next year we will have an aggressive racing schedule and we need to support these efforts with volunteers committed to a high standard of performance. Our fall schedule includes parties and events for your enjoyment with the biggest being the Annual Fall Auction on Saturday, November 8th. This year the project benefiting from the auction proceeds will be

the replacement of our point of sale system with a new integrated system to make our bar sales and account-ing system run more efficiently. It is now time to consider your contri-bution of auction items, beginning with the traditional wine locker and possibly a more creative and inter-esting item unique to your experi-ence. Perhaps you could contribute a weekend in your Lake Tahoe cabin, or a gourmet dinner that only you can prepare. Ask your friends who enjoy the Club as your guests to consider creative auction entries as well.

Our member meeting dinners with upgraded menu items began in August with a sold out full house. Our September member meeting menu featuring Assyrian Lamb, Wild Alaskan Salmon and Stuffed Chili Poblano offers a wonderful dining variety. Together with salads and desserts this promises to be an-other delightful dining experience before our informative monthly officer reports. South Beach Yacht Club has always had a focus on activities

which expand the opportunities for our community to participate in on-the-water activities. Our junior sailing program sold out this year and enabled not only our Club members’ children, but other local families, to learn to sail. Through participation in BAADS activities, we provide our members a chance to experience sailing in a very special way and learn to appreciate sailing small boats with the BAADS members side by side. It is also important for us to respect our Bay waters and participate in cleanup activities and partnerships that help by removing the trash and pollution from the water and keep boating as a sustainable sport. Enjoy your club by participating in the wide variety of activities offered and join your fellow members at social events as well as in environ-mentally oriented activities that benefit the sailing community.

Monday September 22nd is the first day of Fall. With the cooling breezes come festivities and spur of the moment cruise outs to catch the last strokes of

sunlight and the super moon shine. With the changing of the season comes a change in management. Come in soon to meet our new Club Steward D’Artagnan who has settled in quietly, executing a noticeable difference in the day-to-day appearance and running of our dear Club. Many of you may recognize him from your

dancing days at the Rrazz Room, or late night dining at Joe DiMaggios Italian Chophouse and Scoma’s or clubbing it at the 7th Note Showclub, but it turns out “Mr . D”

has some history here on our waterfront as a Managing Partner on the luxury liner Aurora Proj-ect back in 2011 - see an article at this link. Chat “Mr. D” up when you drop by and let him know how much we welcome his expertise and passion for running a smooth operation. Our member meeting on Friday the 12th will bring together many of our members back home from travels afar with long aimless tales and a few fresh burgees from foreign yacht clubs!

J O I N U S I N T H E C L U B H O U S E

We all love fresh air but take care with our sliding deck doors. The door handles for opening/closing are now managed exclusively by the Club Steward when he is in or an active duty OOD. Why? We hope to avoid costly breakage of the hardware when the doors are forced the wrong way. –Barrie Wheeler

O ur Nite in Andalucia, hosted by member

Irene Hadjian, was well attended and enjoyed! Remember the flamenco dancing! Special thanks to Suzie Fay for the stun-ning Spanish decorations.

On Saturday July 12th a fantastic night occurred at the yacht club. Deb Phairas and Theresa Suhr organized and threw one of the best parties this writer can recall at our dear Club. The 70’s Disco Mania Party surely will go down as one of the most colorful and wildest dance parties ever. Dinner started off slowly, with a few party goers trickling in early. Shortly after six, there was a small invasion of authentically dressed hustlers and disco guys & gals that looked like they came out of a time warp from several decades ago. From there, the party got moving. Shortly the place looked like Studio 54! There were Afros, platform shoes, chain necklaces, huge sunglasses, white patent leather boots, hairy chests, sideburns, mini-skirts and more. The DJ lit up the place, disco ball and all. There was dancin’, dancin’ and more dancing. The DJ played any disco tune requested. Then Deb led the entire group in the Hustle lesson. Then more dancin’. Costume prizes. More dancin’. Then the official Dance Off took place. More prizes. Those costumes and rings dazzled all night! The evening finally had to come to an end. A GREAT time was had by all. Do not miss the next time these two dynamos throw a dance party!

Editor’s Note: In the Summer issue, Ken Ludlum was mistakenly noted as responsible for the 70’s Disco Party. Theresa Suhr and Deb Phairas planned, organized and hosted the party. Ken Ludlum simply had a good time at the party and swears it was the best one he has ever been to at the Club. But let’s confess, his troupe of 20 beautifully costumed friends did complete the scene and tore up the dance floor!

WAVELENGTH SEPTEMBER 2014

As the Summer draws to a close and specifical-ly with the successful completion of our Friday

Night Race Series, it’s always good to reflect on how we as skippers or as crew performed throughout the sea-son. Did we achieve our goals for the year? Did we improve over last year’s results? If not, do we know why or do we care that much? For each one of us it will be different of course. It’s also good to reflect on this at the Club level. That’s one of the reasons why I’ve scheduled a Race Planning 2015 Forum on October 9th.

The goal is to make plans for the season ahead, perhaps a new event or regatta? Remember Spring For-ward? We used to host it every April as our own race season opener but it faded from our race calendar. I feel we should have an annual SBYC signature regatta in the early half of the year that gets a variety of One Design and PHRF boats out of our marina for a series of races over one or two days. Perhaps we’ll start with one day and build from there! We introduced several FNS courses this year with our new windward mark buoy. Feedback has been positive on this so far but we can always do better and that’s why

I want to get you all together for this forum and dialogue. I want it to be constructive and forward looking –ideas that advance the enjoyment of our boats, our club and each other as racers. Get your crew together and sign-up on the website. We’ll do a BBQ on the deck before the main event so come to the club from 6 pm onwards. The forum will start at 7 pm sharp! There is no cost to you other than your drinks and a reasonably priced meal prepared by club volunteers.

Jazz Cup 2014 took place on Labor Day weekend in what can only be described as champagne sailing conditions. We had 110 boats entered across 15 divisions which I think is an incredible result and a great reflection on the volunteers that made it all happen both on and off the water. Milt Smith and Janelle Van Rensselaer were Race Co-Chairs and Milt was PRO for the day. Thank you both! It’s a big job to pull off such a race with months of planning and preparation both in-house and also coordination and planning with Benicia Yacht Club. Of course there’s a team of Race Committee and Exec RC volunteers that did stellar work before, during and after and I’d like to recognize and thank them for their valued contributions. They are: Tom Green, Terry Kenaston, Bill Adams, Mark Spitaleri, Tracey Brown, Linda Ratterman, Winnie Kelly,

Amanda Mills, Jan Backus, Eu-gene Hu, Ray Hall, Catherine Orr, Morris Woods, Bob Semple, Dick & Carol Locke, Nancy DeMauro, John DeCastro and crew on the support RIB. I apologize if I missed anyone. Thankfully SBYC brought the Jazz Cup perpetual trophy back yet again! A huge thank you to my crew on Tupelo Honey, many of them SBYC members! Just as we finish one major racing event, another is in the final planning stages after several months of work under the direction of Joan Byrne and Winnie Kelly. I’m talking, of course, about our 3rd Annual Red Bra Regatta, one of the few of its kind on the Bay as it’s an all women skipper and crew event. We’re really looking to increase the participation this year by getting more boats entered. If we can have 50 boats racing every Friday night all summer long then surely we can get at least 12 boats on the line on Sunday, October 5th! I’m calling on all sailboat owners to offer their boats for either a spin-naker or non-spinnaker division.

Nominate your own skipper and she’ll recruit her team. Make the boat available for a few practice

sessions! Tupelo Honey is already entered in the spinnaker division and will be skippered by Andrea Nelson (photo) and helmed by Jessica Andrews.

This summer has been huge for the development of the Bay Area Association of Disabled Sailors’ (BAADS) racing program. Through a ground-breaking donation earlier this year of a Sonar (a Paralympic Class keelboat), BAADS has kicked off a Paralympic Race Program and continues to develop racers in the keelboat and dinghy programs. In fact, BAADS was able to field two Sonar Paralympic Class sailboats in the SBYC Friday Night Series. Typical crews every Friday night consisted of 4 crew per boat. About twelve different BAADS members have been crewing the Sonars this summer, including two paras, three leg amputees, a bilateral hand ampu-tee, a visually impaired jib trimmer, three sailors with severe back issues, and three Veterans.

At the end of the Friday Night Series, Team Alpha 1 took 2nd place behind 1st place boat Carmelita. Team Alpha 2 took 4th. There are 16 boats in the non-spinnaker division. Team Alpha Sonars participated in no less than 14 races by the end of this summer. In the Bay View Boat Club Plastic Classic on July 19th, Team Alpha 2 scored a 4th overall and Team Alpha 1 scored 1st in their division. In Bay View Boat Club’s Race Around the Rock, Team Alpha 2 came in 2nd and Team Alpha 1 came in 3rd (10 boats entered and 3 DNF’d). In October, BAADS will field two Sonar race teams at the US Disabled Nationals in Galveston, Texas. This also is a first for BAADS.

In addition to the Sonars, BAADS campaigned its Catalina 30 Tashi, in the SBYC FNS races. Tashi is equipped with a joystick hooked up to the auto-helm, which al-lowed a BAADS member to helm the boat for the final races of the series using only a joystick. Earlier this summer on July 5th, BAADS raced the 6th annual 25-mile-long Westpoint Regatta, fielding two boats: Tashi and Orion (an Island-er 36). Both boats successfully finished the race, coming in third and fourth place in their division. BAADS continues to develop its racing program for dinghies, where BAADS is uniquely po-sitioned with dinghies that can be single-handed by sailors with

severe physical disabilities. On July 12th and July 13th, the BAADS Dinghy Program kicked off a month-ly race weekend with plans to hold these monthly race weekends all year long. With Race Committee sup-port from SBYC, BAADS will host its Annual Herb Meyer Regatta on September 19-21st! For more info see www.baads.org or www.facebook.com/BAADSSF. BAADS Team Alpha can be followed on Facebook by liking “BAADS Team Alpha Paralympic Race Team.”

It is only fitting and proper (they say that’s import-ant) that the Red Bra Regatta (R.B.R.) beginnings were quite similar to the Jazz Cup (that’s a J Cup) race. Each format lifts and separates the two regattas in South Beach Yacht Club history as a manifestation of our Club’s innovative persona. The Jazz Cup race sprung from a thin-skinned member of the Benicia Yacht Club taking umbrage at the jocular reference to “River Drifters” by a friendly SBYC sailor. Twenty five years later they are still trying to settle it out of court… and on the Bay. (See J Cup above) Now the R.B.R, on the other hand, came about during the 2012 Jazz Cup race. It was a typical cold and stormy summer afternoon on the Bay. The sailboat Intuition with its all-women crew had just been egregiously fouled, growled at, cut off, seduced and abandoned. The other boat sailed away, scoffing “…boys will be boys.” “Ha, not likely, not on my watch!” softly swore In-tuition’s skipper (A.K.A. Attila the Honey). “Hoist the protest flag!” she called out. All hands froze in position. “Fly the crimson banner of outrage!” she yelled. No

one moved. “Cast up the red aspersion of guilt!” she screamed. The silence was deafening. Exasperated, she

screamed, “Would someone please tie some-thing red to the stinking backstay?!?!” ”Oh my,” said the First Mate. “All I can find below is a periwinkle serviette and a fuchsia tea cozy. No red! Unless, uh, … would my bra do?” And so the garnet garment – the very embodiment of multi-tasking – was retrieved from active duty and duly attached to the backstay, thereby satisfying the current

Racing Rules of Sailing 2013-2016 and assuring that due process had been served. Now, whether or not the protested boat saw, inter-preted and/or acknowledged the facsimile signal is lost in the foggy mist of history. The main thing is that, once again, we witness the fact that women are the necessity of invention… or… the invention of necessity…or…you know what I mean. They make things happen.Anyway, put a circle around 10/5/14 on your aquatic almanac. That is when the Rite of Red Bra returns. – Ray Hall DANCING BEAR

P I C YA W H E E L C H A I R R E G AT TA PICYA is hosting its 18th Annual Wheelchair Regatta on Saturday, September 27th. This event provides 200+ veterans, many confined to wheelchairs, with the rare opportunity to experience a powerboat cruise on the San Francisco Bay along the San Francisco City front. Around 30 - 40 volunteer boats participate each year and SBYC’s PICYA Delegate John Prouty will provide his powerboat Fuelin’ Around. There will be a Skippers Dinner Friday evening for in-structions, preparations and socializing. On return from the Bay cruise, guests will be treated to a picnic, sea shanties and jazz entertainment at Encinal Yacht Club. The veterans will receive a skippers bag which in-cludes home-baked cookies and more.

Most of the honored guests are U.S. Veterans residing in Veterans’ Homes and Hospitals. Many will be attended by family, friends and companion dogs. Volunteers from the Alamada Coast Guard and the local Firefighters Association will be on shore to help haul the wheelchairs on board. Many more volunteers are needed ashore to assist in welcoming, boarding, preparing and serving lunch, and entertainment. If you can assist with this rewarding project, please call or email Linda Blue at (510) 851-4387.

The Hospitality Committee, which selects the beers, wines and liquors that we carry on our bar, and whose names were listed in last month’s Wave-length, are always listening for your suggestions on different brands we might carry. And, as you may have noticed over the past couple of years, we change brands quite often. But there’s a catch… Our bar is really quite small, yet we have organized it so that we duplicate service positions at both ends of the bar (except for a few liqueurs and special liquors which are shelved behind the beer taps). This allows us to serve our members faster and more efficiently. What that means is that we simply don’t have the space to carry every brand of liquor that every member would like us to serve. Our bar shelves are already full so that, for every new brand we want to carry, we have to dis-continue something else. We’ve also learned that SBYC members and guests generally ask for brands they know, and that ‘obscure’ brands just sit on the shelf gathering dust - and fruit flies! So here’s the deal. If there’s a brand that you’d like us to carry, tell us what you think we should discontinue. We’ll look at our numbers (yes, we track the sales of every brand we sell) and, if it looks like a good switch, we’ll do it! If not, thanks for the suggestion. Splice the mainbrace, y’all!

I was so happy to see that the Deck Captains – that great group of 30 people led by Jessica Chase who take the

food orders on Fridays and Satur-days – had their own recognition BBQ a couple of weeks ago. As Deck Captains you take a big load off the OODs, particularly at busy times and, on behalf of all the OODs, I just want to say very sincerely how much we appreciate what you do.

OOD REMINDER Several OOD’s have mentioned to me recently that some OOD’s seem to have forgotten SBYC’s long-standing etiquette that our OOD’s have always observed: When we are not on duty, we do NOT go behind the bar without first asking the duty OOD’s per-mission. And, if we do go behind the bar when it’s not our duty shift, our first priority is to help out by serving others, and only then serving ourselves. Please show that courtesy to your fellow OOD’s – you’ll appreciate it when another OOD shows it to you!

A BBQ for the Deck Captains, providing a grateful thank you to the team of 30 deck captains at SBYC who volunteer every weekend to run the floor, check in our guests, and place our meal orders. A shout out to Bill Adams, Hugh Coppen, Lynda Maybruck and our new Club Steward D’Artagnan for the BBQ support!

Dave Corbin was a former club member in 1991 for 6 years. He learned to sail on a Cal 25, then bought a J35 for racing. He has raced a Finn out of Encinal, raced/crewed a J120 Grace Dances and is currently racing a J111 Bad Dog. He and family have chartered a great deal in the Greek islands, throughout the Caribbean and around Mexico. He has recently moved from Los Altos to San Francisco and has cut back developing a career to devote more time to be on the water. He has always loved and missed SBYC in his years away, particularly, our volunteer concept.

Nikos Troullinos has varied and extensive sailing experience: catama-ran sailing in Greece and crewing on members Karsten Mau and Gerard Sheridan boats both cruising and racing. He has completed the Basic Cruising Salling Class on J/24s at OCSC and will complete the Bareboat Cruising Course at OCSC this month. He has crewed and skip-pered, and is now a partner on Paul Oliva and Tom Green’s Catalina 310, Time & Tide. And his daughter has been a part of our Junior Sailing pro-gram. His family very much enjoys the history and structure of SBYC and have already developed many lasting friendships.

Lee & David Baldi have a variety of boating experience including wake boarding, power boating, water ski-ing, cruising, and definitely, sailing. They own a Beneteau 49 in West Point Marina, Redwood City. And a Beneteau 37 in Marina del Rey for those quick trips to Catalina. Although they currently belong to Sierra Point YC, they wanted to belong to a more active club with cruise outs, racing and social activ-ities. They were so anxious to meet more members of SBYC, they joined us on the Encinal Cruise Out. They are very excited to jump right in to work on committees and other volunteering. Auction rail meat!
