Times may be difficult but what a credit to the CPYC membership to be<br />
able to raise this kind of money for the Make-A-Wish Foundation to help<br />
them continue to grant wishes to critically ill children. It is also a credit to<br />
the CPYC committee<br />
that all of their<br />
hard work over the<br />
months proceeding<br />
the event realized<br />
this successful outcome.<br />

REMEMBER THIS?<br />
October 4, 1960 5:04PM Eastern Electra Crashes at Logan<br />
Cause: Bird Strike<br />

October 4, <strong>2010</strong> is the 50th anniversary of the crash of the Eastern Airlines Electra<br />
#375 at Logan Airport. The plane plunged into the waters between buoy 2 and 4<br />
near CPYC killing 62 passengers and crew. However were it not for the efforts of<br />
the members of CPYC and citizens of Winthrop, many<br />
more would have succumbed.<br />
To commemorate the crash, Michael Kalafatas has written<br />
Bird Strike: the Crash of the Boston Electra. CPYC is<br />
proud that the author chose CPYC to launch his book on<br />
Sunday, <strong>September</strong> 19th at 4PM.<br />
Interested members are invited to attend. Kalafatas will<br />
make a presentation and be available to sign books.<br />
Bird Strike, a non-fiction book, is well written, extensively<br />
researched, and insightful. It holds one’s attention<br />
as it is not written in the usual didactic, sterile nonfiction<br />
style. It shows humor and soul while it looks at the conflict<br />
between Man and Bird.<br />
It caught the fabric of the <strong>Cottage</strong> <strong>Park</strong> <strong>Yacht</strong> <strong>Club</strong>, Winthrop,<br />
its people and the community. Many of the names<br />
appearing in the book are familiar to club and town members, bringing back memories.<br />
As the book progressed away from the crash and the town’s involvement,<br />
Kalafatas extrapolated to present day and the future in a very instructive, and a bit<br />
frightening manner. How the Eastern crash, rescue, and investigation effected the<br />
lives of people involved is remarkable.<br />
This is a book that is important and would be of significance to any person, or town<br />
that is in close proximity to an airport, to the aircraft industry, to the flying public<br />
and to aviation authorities.<br />
Recently retired after 35 years with Brandeis University Admissions, Kalafastas is<br />
now with Admissions Advantage in Weston, MA. He has written How to Make the<br />
Most of Your College Visit: the Official Visitor’s Guide to the Region’s Top Colleges<br />

Start of the Race<br />
Judy Gaffney and her helper ducklings deserve a lot of<br />
credit for a terrific Duck Regatta. The day dawned with spectacular<br />
weather. The course was set up on the westerly side<br />
of the marina in shifting north to southwest winds and an<br />
outgoing tide which confused a lot of the ducks as they did<br />
not know which way to go. Catching the ducks was a challenge<br />
as many swam under the head pier emerging on the<br />
easterly side. Winners were: 1st place Todd Hughes $500;<br />
2nd place Paul Duval $100; 3rd place Jack Gallagher and<br />
Lauren Kane $50; Lame Duck Mike Carney Lobsters by<br />
L. Bradley, and PHRF duck Matt Rudser Lobsters by the<br />
Leary's.<br />

Adult Sailing Program <strong>2010</strong><br />
Photos by Dave Pais<br />
Fourteen new and not so new members enjoyed<br />
this year's adult sailing program, held every<br />
Thursday night throughout the summer. The<br />
wind and weather cooperated and provided great<br />
conditions for our sailors. Students were able to<br />
gain experience in a number of boats, including<br />
Rhodes 19's, a Raven, a Whitehall skiff and a<br />
sunfish. We graduated to "big boats" on our last<br />
night, sailing into the sunset and arriving back to<br />
CPYC well into the night. Several students even<br />
got to solo sail by August.<br />
Special thanks to<br />
all who volunteered to instruct<br />
and/or generously<br />
and courageously lend their<br />
boats to the program: Tim<br />

The Norm Siefert Adult Race<br />
Nine adults squeezed into N-10’s to race<br />
around Snake Island.<br />
After the start, where only one boat was over<br />
the line early, the fleet reached along the<br />
shores of Snake Island before heading upwind<br />
to the Dolphin. The breeze picked up markedly<br />
as the fleet emerged from the shadow of<br />
the island, and the adventures began.<br />
Veteran and experienced sailor Tom Montgomery<br />
Sr. got caught in a puff in route to the<br />
Dolphin, flipping the boat over. Bill Holden<br />
also capsized.<br />

Hurricane Gaston veered away from Mass Bay fortunately. While there were no mandatory orders issued to vacate the Marina, many<br />
occupants played it safe, or practiced going to their moorings. (See picture below on Friday <strong>September</strong> 3rd.) It is always good to<br />
locate your storm mooring, before you actually need it.
Jan Sheppard, Crisie and<br />
Chris Berg would like to thank<br />
everyone who participated in<br />
the 3 rd Annual Bobby<br />
Sheppard Fishing Tournament<br />
held Sunday August 29 th .<br />
The day was beautiful with 40 adults and children participating in<br />
the tournament. For the first time in 3 years, fish were caught. The<br />
first catch of the day went to a very excited Janet Nalen.<br />
The pot reached $460.00 and this year we had three winners:<br />
1 st Place Paul Nichols 27 1/2 inches $300.00<br />
2 nd Place Michael Giacobbe 27 inches $100.00<br />
3 rd Place Janet Nalen 26 1/2 inches $60.00<br />
This year raised $300.00 which has been donated in Bobby’s name<br />
to CPYC Youth Sailing. A total of $1200.00 has been donated to<br />
CPYC Youth Sailing in Bobby’s name since this tournament<br />
began three years ago.<br />
Jan, Crisie and Chris are humbled by the generosity of<br />
CPYC club members, family and friends and look forward<br />
to seeing everyone next year!<br />

CPYC Wildlife<br />
This beautiful Egret cruising the waters<br />
on the westerly side of the club was<br />
taken before the Ducky Regatta by Tom<br />
McHugh.<br />
No one caught a picture but as the rubber<br />
ducks were released , a sea gull swooped<br />
in targeting the ducks for dinner. He<br />
changed his mind at the last minute and<br />
only a few feet above the ducks, thinking<br />
this would not be a good meal and soared<br />
away.<br />
