Breeze APril 2006 - California Yacht Club

SEPTEMBER 2009

With the arrival of September, our Sunset 

Series comes to an end. But there will 

be one more chance for the top boats in 

each class to compete as we hold the King of the 

Hill Regatta on September 9. Overall, we had 

good participation in the many classes. The race 

committee, headed by R/C Ann Ach, should be 

proud of their efforts in running the many Sunset 

Series races. Also, our racing calendar for August 

included the Martin 242 North Americans, which 

was chaired by Marylyn Hoenemeyer. 

Twenty-four boats vied for the trophy, and all 

participants enjoyed the facilities and fine 

hospitality for which our Club has become known. 

As football season approaches, we are reminded what 

great fall weather we usually have in Southern California. 

Catalina is normally a terrific destination for our shorter 

cruises, and certainly one would not want to miss the First 

Mates Cruise starting September 11. This event is being 

presented by our own “MASH Unit” of the CYCWA. I know 

that “Hot Lips Houlihan” is just waiting to plant that big one 

on your cheeks. 

Our luncheon/dinner guest speaker programs this year 

have been well attended for the most part and will continue 

through November. One change coming up in October is that 

the Commodore’s Alaska Adventure Dinner Presentation will 

be held on October 14, a Wednesday, instead of our usual 

Thursday presentation. Also, V/C Tom O’Conor will give his

From The Commodore 

Commodore 

John Isaksen 

What a great summer 

we’ve had! Terrific 

parties, well-run regattas, 

outstanding Junior sailing program, 

and wonderful cruises to Ballast 

Point. Fortunately, with September 

the fun doesn’t stop. Cochairmen 

SEO Norma Pratt, SEO Tracey 

Thiras, and Natalya Wheatman 

have planned an outstanding First 

Mates Cruise (Sept. 11-13) 

honoring CYCWA Executive 

Officer Karen Stirling. With 

M.A.S.H. as its theme, they have a 

menu, decorations, and program 

that will keep you entertained 

around the clock. Come dressed as 

your favorite character and be 

prepared to “play doctor.” If you have room on your boat for 

another member who may want to attend, please let the front 

desk know so that everyone who wants to attend has a place to 

bunk. You will find the menu and schedule of events on our 

CYC Web site. 

The Wine Appreciation Society has another Wine Expo on 

Friday, September 25. Join us on the front lawn to sample wine 

from Spain and Spanish varietals produced here in California. 

We will be preparing paella, grilling chorizo, and offering 

presentation for the 2010 Commodores Cruise on 

Thursday, October 22. Thanks again go to S/C 

Martin McCarthy and R/C Ann Ach for 

organizing these very informative programs. 

Our Junior Summer Program ended in 

August and is to be applauded for the 

professional way this program was handled. 

Carrie Dair puts forth an incredible effort in 

procuring coaches who will work with the kids 

and teach the seamanship and camaraderie that is 

needed to enjoy this wonderful sport. Of 

course, safety at sea is very important and our 

staff always puts this in front of everything 

taught. I know our Club is very gratified to see the progression 

each year, as these sailors continue to grow and compete in 

other programs around the country. 

CYC hosted a very important presentation, a Boating 

Town Hall Meeting, featuring California Assembly Member 

Ted Lieu, who represents our area. Many other local 

government officials attended, as Assembly Bill 166 

(abandoned vessels) and other important issues were discussed. 

Our Club is always in the forefront in lending its support to the 

many challenges recreational boaters face on a daily basis. 

Special thanks go to S/C Anne Sacks, for the tireless effort she 

puts forth in attending many of these meetings around 

Southern California, plus trips to our State Capitol. 

Again, please enjoy your Club and the lovely fall weather 

we have for all the Club activities. 

gazpacho shooters among other tasty treats to pair with dozens 

of wines. Reservations are necessary as we want to prepare 

enough food for everyone to enjoy. 

Last month you received a form from our membership 

representative, Claudia Moore asking you to update your 

information for the roster. This is the vital first step in getting 

an accurate roster out to the membership in a timely fashion. It 

may seem early, but it takes months of preparation to make the 

membership changes, write up the current trophy winners, 

committee chairmen and policies, proof the galleys, design the 

cover, and then finally print and bind the roster. After the roster 

is printed, it goes to a mailing center where it takes another 

three weeks to process to get to your mailbox. If all goes 

according to plan, you will receive your roster by the first week 

of the new year. So if you still have that roster information card 

sitting on your desk, please fill it out and return it. We want 

everyone’s information to be current. 

Another area where we need your help is in keeping our 

dock office files up to date. All slip holders must provide 

current registration and insurance documentation as part of 

their slip agreement. When your documentation expires, the 

dock office sends out a courtesy letter letting you know it’s 

time to send us your current documentation. We ask that you 

take the time while you’re at the club to drop this 

documentation off to Rob Ward, our dock office administrative 

assistant, so he can update your file. 

See you around the Club!

SEPTEMBER 2009 BREEZE/3

The 2009 competition for 

the King of Spain Trophy 

came down to a duel on 

the last downwind leg between 

CYC’s Ben Mitchell and Hal 

Haenel, and NHYC’s Jim 

Buckingham with CYC crew 

Rick Peters. Tied after four races 

with six points each, the two 

teams chose the far end of the 

line to start. The lead changed 

twice during the last race with 

Ben Mitchell and Hal Haenel 

jibing to lay the finish line some 

20 feet- or seven seconds ahead 

of Jim Buckingham and Rick 

Peters after 6.2 miles of racing. 

The regatta was sailed in 

mostly sunny skies and eight to 

nine knots of wind and good size 

swells on Saturday and nine to 11 

knots of wind on Sunday with the 

normal Santa Monica Bay chop. 

Following racing on Saturday, the 

racers were treated by Rick Peters 

to music by friends who played 

on after the taco bar light supper. 

Other trophies were awarded 

to Leland Kellerhouse and Brian 

Mahoney for 3rd place. Leland 

also took home the “Super 

Senior” award for the top finish 

by a skipper over 60 years old. 

Doug Steele and Tom Hulme 

were runners up. Someone 

commented, “The Super Senior 

award should be renamed the 

King of Pain.” The final trophy 

was the top finisher in a Star boat 

with hull number under 7000. 

Tim Ray and Brian O’Mahoney 

were called to the podium to 

receive the award when it was 

pointed out that Jorge Benedid 

and his son were sailing hull 

number 6883 but with sail 

number 7997. So, both were 

amenable to sharing the award – 

everyone wins. So ended the 

2009 chapter of the King of 

Spain Regatta.

The 2009 version of the Catalina 

Grill was a resounding success. 

This year’s theme was “San 

Francisco 1906 – From the Barbary 

Coast to Nob Hill.” Our weekend started 

on Thursday with Art and S/C Anne 

Sacks, and S/C Bill Moore on board 

Artana, and shortly thereafter yours truly 

and Pam Spriggs on board White Star. 

We were headed for Cat Harbor and our 

Ballast Point facility loaded down with 

gear for the weekend. After organizing 

the deck and getting the barbecues ready 

for action, 37 members and guests 

enjoyed an impromptu evening with 

everyone bringing their food for grilling. 

With the arrival of the Owen Churchill, 

skippered by Ty Olsen, Friday night’s 

dinner included freshly made corn 

chowder with salad and bread, and 

members’ supplied steaks, sausages, fish, 

chops, and anything else in the food 

chain that was fit to barbecue. Stephanie 

and CYC President Steve Hathaway 

made us quesadillas on the grill for hors 

d’ouevres. The evening’s entertainment was furnished by good friend Dave 

Barrette, from 4th of July Cove, 

featuring his terrific voice and 

strumming on his 12-string guitar. Singa-long 

and dancing accompanied Dave’s 

musical efforts. 

Saturday morning found the staff, 

including General Manager Michele 

Underwood, Assistant Manager Gus 

Marks, and Catering Director Lorri 

Wressell, hard at work organizing all the 

gourmet-quality meals to be served that 

day. Lunchtime arrived and a sunny day 

added brightness to the fresh crab and 

jumbo shrimp presented in an ice-filled 

dinghy, along with various salads. It was 

all served with fresh artisan boules of 

olive and San Francisco style sourdough 

breads on tables decorated with bright 

red tablecloths and potted ferns. The 

Commodore happily filled glass mugs, 

from a keg of complimentary San 

Francisco Anchor Steam Beer. A spirited 

game of bingo, hosted by Budget Officer 

Mary Kate Scott, soon had Steve 

Hathaway straining to put on a smiling 

face after he learned that the prize of a 

Dave “Neil Diamond” Barrette 

free month of CYC dues, was actually

won by three different members! But 

Steve, always gracious, was proud to 

present the winners their prize. Of 

course, there were other fun prizes 

awarded and everyone had a great time. 

After some serious napping, boathopping 

and Isthmus touring, the gang 

showed up for cocktails and dinner. The 

décor had changed to a more formal 

black-and-white table setting including a

complimentary Catalina Grill mug. The 

evening’s dinner menu included fresh 

whole Norwegian salmon, along with a 

tasty London broil with caramelized 

onions, both grilled to perfection by 

Michele and Gus. In addition, a Caesar 

salad, fresh green beans, escalloped 

potatoes, and French rolls completed 

the meal, along with complimentary 

Napa Valley wine. For dessert, Lori 

brought out a warm blueberry cobbler 

with plenty of whipped-cream 

“schmooze” to go on top. After-dinner 

activities included the partial showing 

of the movie “San Francisco,” starring 

Clark Gable, Jeanette McDonald and 

Spencer Tracy. This gave our theme 

credibility, since this black-and-white 

gem from the thirties showed the 

glamour and sorrow from the 1906 

earthquake and fire that gutted the city, 

including the Barbary Coast and Nob 

Hill. Soon we were making our own 

“earthquake” as the dancing kicked into 

high gear with our own DJ, Scott 

Jarema, entertaining us with a myriad of 

popular dance music. Thanks to all of 

the staff and volunteers who made this 

cruise “earthshaking!”

RECAP OF JULY EVENTS 

The Power Fleet was busy in July burning up the waves! 

First, thank you to Don Rothenberg, who brought out the red, 

white, and blue in us on the 4th of July Dinghy Cruise, leading 

the little boats to El Torito and then for a cruise around the 

marina (see story on page 14). Then Randy Sprout contacted 

dozens of members to get CYC fishermen out to help win the Cal 

Yacht Club Fishing Challenge Trophy back after its three-year 

stay at Del Rey Yacht Club. (See story on page 13). 

PREDICTED LOG CONTEST… 

LELAND CUP AND ABEL TROPHY 

On Saturday, July 11, the SMBPF Leland Cup sponsored by 

CYC, and Abel Trophy sponsored by DRYC, were held in Santa

unusual current. The air was hot! For the Leland Trophy, Herb 

Dover came in first place on Coastwatcher. The DRYC team of 

Lurie-Livingston on Exodus II came in 2nd. For the Abel Trophy, 

Bernie Blockhus was first, Del Rey YC got second, Herb Dover 

was 3rd, and Dave Lewis 4th. 


By DAWN SPROUT 

The Barzilay, which had been postponed until July 11, 

showed Herb Dover 1st, Bernie Blockhus 2nd, DRYC 3rd, and 

Dave Lewis 4th. Ted Angiwon was the observer and also in 

charge of the observer for SMBPF. Thanks for your help. 

Congratulations to the CYC log racing team for bringing in 

those winning times and trophies. Well done! 

UPCOMING POWER FLEET EVENTS

Sacks will chair this event. (See ad in this 

issue) 

New members, please feel welcome to 

attend the Power Fleet events. This is a great 

way to get acquainted and make new friends. 

Light winds, high tides, it doesn’t 

matter…everyone is welcome at the Power 

Fleet events. So don’t miss the boat. 

Thank you to all the Power Fleet 

chairmen for your hard work! 

And with that, all I can say is…. 

What a Club!

CYC-MdR 

Fishing Challenge 

hosted by the 

Power Fleet 

By DAWN SPROUT 

It’s back – it’s really back! The CYC- 

MdR Yacht Club fishing trophy has come 

back to CYC. Former CYC member 

Christian Schoch won with a 4-lb. 10-oz. 

halibut caught off the transom of Randy 

Sprout’s Fortuna in the last 30 minutes 

before weigh-in. CYC was busy on Sunday, 

July 26 as the fishermen cast their lines with 

the Star sailors racing in the background. The 

targeted species was 35-50 lb white sea bass 

that were swimming under the boats at Big 

Rock and ignoring all the baits offered. 

Thank you to the CYC members who 

got up at 5 a.m. to help bring the trophy 

home. Nat, Gabe, and Stephen Carlson with 

Cesar Chavez on the Evening Star caught a 

sand dab. George Kaneko and John Wilkins 

from CYC also participated. Penelope 

Cornwall donned her fishing gear and fished 

along with Harvey Silver. Also from CYC 

were Jorge Yamzon and Donald Wressell on 

Git-R-Done. The ocean was alive with bait 

making it very difficult for the fishermen to 

catch fish with their bait and the hidden 

hook. But we did it! 

Second place was for a 3 lb. 9 oz. Calico 

bass caught by Scott Baxter on Bali-Anne, 

DRYC. Third place was last year’s winner 

Keith Lambert with a 2-lb. 8-oz. sand bass on 

Ramblin, DRYC. Fourth place was Gary 

Mohilner with a 2-lb. 6-oz. salmon grouper 

on Unreel, DRYC. Fifth place was Larry 

Silver with a 1-lb. 11-oz. calico bass on 

Diver Gent, DRYC. 

Thank you to Chef Hector for the 

fabulous Cuban buffet and margaritas. 

Thanks to the staff and a big thank you to 

Randy Sprout who organized the multi-yachtclub 

event and the prizes of elegant framed 

photos, fishing poles and reels to those who 

caught the five biggest fish. Nine boats and 

40 fishermen enjoyed the beauty of Santa 

Monica Bay teeming with dolphins, seals, 

and pelicans all competing for the white sea 

bass. With the zing of the fishing reels and 

the sailboats racing in the background, it all 

made for a glorious day at CYC. And we got 

our trophy back!

4th of July 

Dinghy Cruise 

By DON ROTHENBERG 

The 4th of July got off to a good 

start as 48 CYCers gathered at 

noon in their colorful and 

patriotically decorated dinghies to cruise 

to El Torito Restaurant for lunch. George 

and Pati Etter led the parade in style in 

their Duffy party boat as we made our 

way to the New Del Mar slip at 

Fisherman’s Village, a few steps away 

from the restaurant. 

A plentiful selection of food was 

offered along with unlimited margaritas, 

which made for a rousing good time. 

Our group was seated at one end of the 

restaurant in an intimate setting, which 

allowed for socializing as we pigged out 

on our bountiful platters of food. 

At one point, when the group had 

consumed a sufficient amount of 

beverage, Lola Haag led us in a robust 

version of “God Bless America.” I don’t 

know if others in the restaurant joined in, 

but I’m sure we could be heard from one 

end of the marina to the other. 

After lunch we waddled back to our 

dinghies and paraded around the marina 

with music blaring, to the waves and 

cheers of other boaters enjoying the day 

on their own boats. 

The pictures tell the story – it was a 

fun way to celebrate the founding of our 

country and a happy lead-in to the 

beautiful fireworks later that evening. 

Our thanks to Don Rothenberg, chairman; 

Maureen and Bill Tieman, committee; 

and George Etter for making the 

arrangements at the New Del Mar slip.

(BMQ) with Dr. Randy Ross on alto sax, Greg Broadous on piano, Marion Newton 

on bass, Ricardo Mowatt on drums, with vocals provided by Linda Miles. 

The tune list included jazz standards such as “Blues by 

Five,” “Four” (Eddie Vinson), “Minority” (Gigi Gryce), “Blue 

Bossa” (Kenny Dorham), “Take the A Train” (Bill Strayhorn), 

“Green Dolphin Street,” and Horace Silver’s “Nica’s Dream,” 

one of many compositions dedicated to the jazz (be-bop) patron 

Baroness Pannonica (“Nica”) de Koenigswarter. 

To diversify the evening's musical moods, BMQ performed 

their versions of the pop tune, “Goody Goody,” and, a la Phil 

Woods, the group underlaid a waltz version of “Willow Weep for 

Me” with the background from the Miles Davis tune, “All 

Blues.” In a tribute to romance, BMQ also performed their unique arrangement of the 

ballad, “You Don't Know What Love Is” (...until you 

know the meaning of the blues). 

Speaking of the blues, the great singer Linda Miles 

spiced both the first and second sets with some earthy, 

downhome blues, including moving renditions of 

“Stormy Monday” and a few Billie Holiday tunes. 

BMQ ended the concert with their fun, rousing 

hip-hop version of Charlie “Yardbird” Parker’s tune, 

“My Little Suede Shoes.”

This summer has been one filled 

with both great accomplishment 

and new experience. Over the past 

month I have sailed two regattas, the 

U.S. Youth Sailing Championships in 

Greenwich, Connecticut, and the 470 

Junior World Championships in 

Thessaloniki, Greece. The regattas were 

very different but served to be equally 

amazing adventures. 

A few days after my high school 

graduation, I boarded a plane headed for 

New York. The next day I arrived at 

Indian Harbor Yacht Club and got my 

charter boat. That’s when things really 

began. The first day of the 

championship, we were not allowed on 

the water so my skipper, Stephanie, and I 

changed out some parts on the boat and 

went over our settings for each of the 

wind ranges. I had not sailed on the 

Long Island Sound before but I had been 

told to expect very light air. For the most 

part, we were not disappointed. We 

sailed very well the first three days of the 

regatta, and sat with a 14-point lead over 

the second-place boat. Thus far 

everything had gone according to plan; 

our boat speed was good as was our 

decision-making. And when one went 

wrong, we had the other to bail us out. 

However the fourth day proved that 

things can go very wrong. It was by far 

the lightest-air day of the championship 

and we had trouble getting to the left 

side, which ended up paying off quite 

often. The wind was being tricky, filling 

in and then dying to only a couple knots. 

In one day, we lost our lead, tripled our 

score, and dropped down to second 

place. This is a harsh reality when you 

have spent the rest of the time 

comfortably in first. Our goal that night 

was to shake off the day and regroup for 

the final race the next day. We arrived at 

the race course the next morning and to 

our delight the wind was up. I was fully 

out on the trap and Stephanie was hiking. 

These are our favorite conditions. That 

day we donned a favorable attitude and 

just thought about going fast, no

pressure. We started at the committee 

boat and chose to play the fleet which 

was going left; better to lose a few to the 

right than lose the whole fleet to the left. 

This strategy was the safest and put us 

just out of the top ten at the windward 

mark. We did a jibe set and started to 

work on catching a few boats downwind. 

At the leeward mark we had barely 

cracked the top ten. The regatta leaders 

(Kevin Laube and Reece Bernet) were 

close behind us, so we made sure to keep 

an eye on them while still doing our own 

thing. We held our spot to the next mark 

and Kevin and Reece rounded right 

behind us. Stephanie and I were able to 

work our boat down, gaining speed and 

distance on each wave. We jibed away 

from the other pair and didn’t see them 

again until close to the finish. We 

finished 6th that race, and as I looked 

back to count the boats between us and 

the boys, it became clear the there were 

enough boats there to put us into the 

regatta’s first-place position. In our joy, 

both Stephanie and I started to scream, 

fist pump, high five etc., until about 

three seconds later she pulled me into the 

water and the boat flipped over. It was 

truly a happy day, and one of those rare 

moments you experience when you 

know all your hard work has paid off. 

My thanks to the Santa Monica Bay 

Sailing Foundation, and John 

Vandemore, our coach for the regatta, for 

without their support, my part in this 

victory would not have been possible 

Fresh off this win, I set my sights on 

Greece and the challenges we had in 

store for us there, as we were new to this 

boat and this was to be our second 470 

competition. I arrived in Thessaloniki, 

the country’s second largest city, and was 

pleasantly greeted by temperatures in the 

nineties, and a boat that is known for 

requiring copious amounts of boat work 

i.e. standing around in the sun fixing 

little details. This trip marked the first 

time I sailed on another continent. In 

Europe, sailing is a little different. The 

common language between most of the 

competitors is English, but out on the 

race course, the girls just tend to scream 

a sort of high pitched warning. I am told

the men’s fleet is a little more civilized. 

Stephanie and I spent four days training 

with the teams from Finland and 

Argentina to try to get ourselves up to 

speed. The 470 is an incredibly technical 

boat, and many of the people in out fleet 

were veterans, having done three, four, 

or five Junior World Championships. For 

us, this regatta didn’t come with 

expectations or preconceived notions 

about how we would finish, because 

frankly we didn’t have a clue about the 

outcome. That said, we definitely had 

moments of brilliance. The second race 

of the regatta was sailed in winds 

between 18 and 22 knots. We started at 

the committee boat, went right, and 

rounded the top mark first, a position we 

were able to hold until the end of the 

second upwind of our inner trapezoid. 

Just before the mark, the Spanish girls 

were able to work themselves into the 

mark below us. They had impeccable 

boat handling skills and technique, and 

would go on to win the regatta. We 

remained second for the rest of the race. 

It was thrilling to know that maybe one 

day, we would consistently have those 

kinds of results throughout a regatta. 

This summer tested my love of the 

sport and showed that persistence is what 

it takes to perform at the top level. I will 

keep working hard in the 470, and 

realize that with each day comes a new 

challenge, ultimately all working toward 

this winter’s Miami OCR and next 

summer’s world championships in the 

Netherlands. 

When I talk about my plans for the 

future, I cannot go on without thanking 

those who have helped me in the past; 

California Yacht Club, CISA, the Santa 

Monica Bay Foundation, and the 

generous private donations that made the 

second regatta of this summer a 

possibility. If you would like to be a part 

of this future (donations are always nice 

too!), please check out my Web site:

CYCWA on the Horizon 

By NANCY MATZDORFF and SEO JEANNE STRASBERG 

MEET YOUR CHAIRMEN: 

Susan Purcell: As Fleet Secretary, Web site 

coordinator for CYCWA, her involvement in 

Race Committee and her work at UC Irvine 

Medical Center for the last twelve years, Susan 

lets no grass grow beneath her feet. She and 

husband, Craig, have been members almost five 

years and live aboard their Hunter 44 Just Add 

Wine. Their dream for the future is to do some 

long-distance cruising. Susan was born in Detroit 

and attended University of Michigan. She and 

Craig have three children—Jeffery, 28; Michael, 26; and Kate, 24. 

And let’s not forget Bailey’s Irish Cream—a four-year-old beagle. 

Susan’s hobbies include jewelry making, reading, wine tasting and 

paddle tennis. 

One plus one equals two. Right? Now, add one powerhouse 

SEO and one powerhouse SEO and you’ve got a double-barreled, 

talented, innovative whammy of a combination! We’re talking 

about Tracy Thiras and Norma Pratt, cochairmen of September’s 

First Mates Cruise. 

Tracy, CYCWA’s 2000 Executive Officer, 

was born in San Diego but grew up in Hawaii 

where she graduated from Iolani High School. 

After arriving in California, she attended UCLA 

and received her degree in business administration 

and became a CPA. She and husband, Chuck, 

have a wonderfully blended family of five and are 

proud grandparents. Joining CYC in 1977, she 

has been involved in a myriad of activities: writing “Tracy’s 

Travels” for the Breeze, editor of the Breeze, and chairman and/or 

cochairman of many great parties and cruises. Tracy grew up 

boating; and although Chuck is a dedicated landlubber, he learned 

to enjoy their boat as much as she. Her husky, infectious laugh and 

sincere warmth have endeared her to all of us. 

The beautiful state of Maine has stunning 

scenery, wonderful clambakes, a magnificent 

shoreline and, furthermore, is Norma’s birthplace 

– in the little town of St. Agatha. She attended 

nursing school in New Brunswick, Canada and 

took further training in Quebec and Nova Scotia. 

Moving to Florida (no more Maine winters!) after 

graduation, she soon became manager of the 

Intensive Care Unit at a large hospital. After a 

divorce, she moved to California with her two sons and worked at 

the National Health Institute in cardiac rehab, teaching lifestyle 

modification to cardiac patients. Wanting a less stressful 

occupation, Norma became a real estate agent and was named 

“million dollar lady” after her first sale. She also met and married 

Bob. Whatever Norma tackles becomes a rousing success, and her 

broad smile and cheerful attitude ensure that working with her on 

any project will be a pleasure. 


U.S. Optimist 

Dinghy Association 

West Coast Championship 


By DOUG WEITZ

CYC proudly hosted the first USODA 

National Team Trials Qualifying 

Championship of the year, which 

attracted 40 young Optimist sailors primarily 

from the West Coast, 20 of which were CYC 

Juniors, and one from as far away as 

Auckland, New Zealand. 

Winds were generally light throughout 

the event, but that did not hamper PRO Rick 

Turner and his ace team from completing 

eight races with a couple of square meals and 

some added layers of sunscreen in between. 

CYC Juniors took three of the four top 

spots in the Championship Fleet with Cooper 

Weitz winning both the Overall and Blue 

Fleet; Frank Dair scooping up a 3rd Overall 

and 1st in White Fleet; Kathryn Hathaway 

taking a 4th Overall, 2nd in Red Fleet and 

1st Overall Girls; our rising star Kaili 

Campbell with a 10th Overall and 2nd in 

White Fleet; and Oli Stahli wrapping it up 

with a 13th Overall and 3rd in Blue Fleet. 

The top 11 finishers also earned 

themselves a qualification to the U.S. Team 

Trials, which included Cooper Weitz, Frank 

Dair, Kaili Campbell and Simone Staff. 

Let’s cheer them on as they prepare for the 

Trials in Houston next May, where they will 

have the opportunity to make the U.S. 

National Team and earn an invitation to one 

of several high-level international events. 

Last, but certainly not least, three of our 

Juniors won special awards for exceptional 

achievements. Leo Dastur was honored as 

the “Most Committed,” Dylan Vechionne 

received the “Sportsmanship” award, and 

Maarten Hesseling was presented with the 

“Outstanding Performance” award. If you 

are not sure who they are, just look for the 

three kids with the really cool Oakley 

sunglasses. 

Finally, a very special thanks to Marylyn 

Hoenemeyer and the Sail Committee for 

making this event a reality, Tom Leweck for 

his weather recap and daily reports, Bill 

Stump for his wit, wisdom, and on-the-water 

judging, and to all the dedicated and tireless 

volunteers who always jump in to make our 

Junior events so special.
