Dan Citera - Commodore 3<br />

Commodore’s Report<br />

Greetings, fellow PCYC members,<br />

As I write this, it is August, and we just completed our annual cruise to Catalina. Everyone<br />

that participated had a very good time. We also saw first hand how club members look out<br />

for each other. One of our boats ran over a polypropylene rope floating just under the<br />

surface, and it fouled both its propellers. Jim and Marge Curley’s GaelForce II stood by it,<br />

and waited several hours until Vessel Assist arrived at the scene. Lady D was then given a<br />

side tie to Libertad for the duration of our stay on Avalon, and had an escort all the way home at the end of the<br />

cruise. PCYC boaters take care of each other! This in turn makes it possible to plan ambitious cruises, like our<br />

upcoming Cruise around Santa Cruz island.<br />

We also just completed our 35 th McNish Classic. It was a grand event, and our club was graced by the presence of<br />

27 classic wooden sail yachts, that raced under ideal conditions in our waters. Of course, all of the activities of this<br />

event were hosted by our club and our members. We provided the support fleet to set the buoys, provided the<br />

starting line boat, the photo boats and we even had an airplane follow and photograph the race. Our clubhouse<br />

hosted all of the “on shore” activities. Dennis Conner took first place and our own “Cheerio” placed 2nd within its<br />

class, and 13 th overall . Mr. Conner was very gracious and wrote us a thank you note for a job well done.<br />

Our fishermen had two top shelf events recently. It started late June with their Grand Slam, consisting of catching<br />

a Halibut, a White Sea Bass, and a Calico Bass, all on the same day. In July they had our traditional Mako<br />

tournament. Both events were well attended, and the fishing group is having a very successful season.<br />

If you own a sea going boat, there is no better way to use it than to participate in club-organized events. We have<br />

first-rate cruising, fishing and sailing programs.<br />

PCYC is the proud sponsor of <strong>Pacific</strong> <strong>Corinthian</strong> Youth foundation. They are now in full swing with their sailing<br />

classes and youth activities. They recently had a fundraiser at the <strong>Club</strong> and I hope you were able to attend.<br />

Your club is working very well, and all segments of our membership have been participating and enjoying the<br />

activities of their choice.<br />

It is all good news, and it is all because you care, you contribute, you participate.<br />

A Message from your Membership Chair,<br />

S/C Martha Jean Geisler:<br />

Come to our Open Houses!<br />

Two in <strong>September</strong> (9th & 30th), lots of opportunity to bring in your neighbors<br />

& friends to enjoy our fun, food and friendship! If that's not convenient, call me<br />

and I'll meet with your prospective members almost any time!


Karen Lorenzen - Vice Commodore 4<br />

Vice Commodore’s Report<br />

The House Committee has been busy trying to finish up all our projects. Don Dusette will be<br />

putting the finishing touches on the dock renovation. His committee has been waiting for the<br />

PCYF classes to finish so the rubber dock edging can be installed. Our GM Brenda Dickmann is<br />

looking forward to having the security and computer servers moved to the communications room.<br />

She will finally have the room she needs to conduct business meetings in her office. Once the<br />

equipment is removed there will be some redecorating needed.<br />

The final menus were approved thanks to all the hard work done by Quartermaster Graham Wilson and Brenda. The<br />

committee will be selecting new covers for the menus. Be sure to notice the new wine lists available downstairs. Many<br />

other projects are in various stages of completion and if you have any time please come join us for a House Committee<br />

Meeting and see all the agenda items we have addressed. We meet on the 2 nd Thursday of each month at 5:00 P.M.<br />

Volunteers are needed!<br />

The Membership Committee would like to thank all the PCYC members who have been handing out invitation cards to<br />

Friday Night Icebreakers. We will be including some additional cards in your monthly statements in case you need<br />

some more. We will be conducting two Open Houses in <strong>September</strong>, so please tell your neighbors and friends to stop by<br />

and take a look at all we have to offer. The committee will be finalizing some plans to take more advantage of our<br />

waterside location. We hope to add additional value to a PCYC membership. We are looking forward to showcasing our<br />

plans in the months to come.<br />

Save October 11th for Ladies Who Do Lunch!<br />

Traditionally, the October Ladies Luncheon is a cancer awareness fundraiser. We take time to<br />

remember those we’ve lost and celebrate our friends who fight the battle. This year the luncheon<br />

will be held on Thursday, October 11 th in the main dining room. Come early to taste-test wines,<br />

olive oils, and other munchies that you will be able purchase.<br />

We are pleased to announce that the proceeds from this year’s luncheon will be donated to<br />

PleaseHearUs.org. This local organization provides both financial assistance and support for<br />

cancer patients in Ventura County. They help cancer patients meet the challenging needs of<br />

treatments; costs can be overwhelming. Perhaps you have visited their “Cancer Care Thrift Center” at 3761 W Hemlock<br />

Street – just 5 minutes from the club. Your donations of nearly-new items are always appreciated. You can read more<br />

about this charity online at www.PleaseHearUs.org.<br />

It’s not too early to put together a table of friends for this most important luncheon. We’d love to put together a sell-out<br />

crowd so make your plans today to join us. You can make your reservations at the front desk or call 985-PCYC.<br />

Thanks for your support,<br />

Brenda Dickmann - General Manager 5<br />

In General<br />

Did you know that we have docked on your very own PCYC Dock, Sélavy, a Capri 26? She is<br />

available for use by all club members. There is no charge, and she is available on a first come -<br />

first served basis. (Sélavy: 1990 Year built, year model 1991 Length 26 feet.) What you will need<br />

to do first is to call our very own PCYC member and volunteer Doug Russell. Doug will<br />

familiarize you with how Sélavy sails and all about her rigging. To contact Mr. Russell, please<br />

refer to your PCYC Roster or call the front desk.<br />

Once you are checked out and ready to set sail into the beautiful seas of Channel Islands Harbor, you will need to call<br />

the Front Desk, reserve your time, come and complete a form and pick up your key!<br />

Quite a few years back one of our previous members<br />

wrote this very simple glossary of nautical terms, and<br />

believe me, they are very, very helpful.<br />

Bow…The pointy end of the boat.<br />

Stern…The blunt end of the boat<br />

Mast…Tall vertical pole<br />

Boom…Shorter horizontal pole<br />

Forestay…Wire holding up the mast<br />

Backstay…Another wire holding up the mast<br />

Shrouds…More wires holding up the mast<br />

Jib…Sail up front<br />

Main…Sail in back<br />

Tiller…Steering stick<br />

Helmsman…Guy who runs the steering stick<br />

Helmswoman…Lady who runs the steering stick<br />

Sheets…Ropes that control the sails<br />

Crew…Guy who pulls the sheet (sheerer)<br />

Thanks, Rosemary!<br />

Above all, please come and enjoy all the wonderful<br />

amenities that your club has to offer. Come to lunch or<br />

dinner via your boat, just call the Front Desk and verify<br />

that the PCYC Dock is available for you. Come and<br />

enjoy the swimming pool which is heated to a<br />

delightful 85 degrees. Relax in the sun with family and<br />

friends.<br />

Our lines are always open, Wednesday through Sunday,<br />

for your event reservations. Please take note that when booking reservations for persons other than yourself, we greatly<br />

appreciate a member number and food choice. Also, in order to make the event as enjoyable as possible, we recommend<br />

special orders be made at least a week in advance. For clarity and communication purposes, it is best to remember who<br />

took your reservations...<br />

PCYC’s Sélavy Capri 26<br />

The <strong>Club</strong> Sail Boat, Sélavy, is free for members to use, and there are a lot more members sailing this great boat. All<br />

you need to do to check out the boat is have basic boating and sailing skills and be checked out by a designated club<br />

member. Give the front Desk a call for an appointment. This is a member maintained boat. Our members have been<br />

donating equipment and their time keeping the boat and motor in ship shape condition. When you call to reserve the<br />

boat, check to see if the boat has been used lately; if not, you may want to put aside enough time clean the boat before<br />

use. If all the members just follow a few simple steps before and after use, everyone should enjoy their sail.<br />

When you get to the boat:<br />

Check the fuel level. Outboards tend to burn a lot of gas. You may motor more than you expect if the wind<br />

turns light. A quarter of a tank should be enough gas for most trips in and out of the marina. If you are 5 miles<br />

out, you’ll need more.<br />

Check to see if all safety equipment and registration is aboard and in-date.<br />

1- Fire Extinguisher<br />

1- Horn<br />

1- VHF Radio (mounted next to<br />

power panel)<br />

4- Life Jackets. If you need more<br />

bring your own. Remember, all<br />

children 12 and under must wear a<br />

proper size Life Jacket all the time.<br />

3-Flairs, in-date.<br />

1- Anchor in Chain Locker on<br />

bow.<br />

Turn on main battery switch<br />

under the steps.<br />

Turn on VHF Radio and set to<br />

channel 16.<br />

Start the motor before setting up<br />

the boat for sailing. If it doesn’t<br />

start you may need to go to plan B<br />

and do a Harbor sail.<br />

Check the condition of the boat; if there is something wrong let the Front Desk know.<br />

When you return to the dock, leave the boat in the condition that you would like to find it:<br />

Check the fuel level. If it is less than a quarter of a tank, please fill the tank.<br />

Replace all covers.<br />

Coil all lines and hang them from the boom or wrap them around the winches.<br />

Stow wench handle in cabin.<br />

Turn OFF main battery switch.<br />

Rinse off boat.<br />

When you return the key, let the Front Desk know if something is wrong with the boat.

Come Cruise With Us!<br />

Labor Day Cruise: Our Labor Day Cruise, starting August 30 – <strong>September</strong> 3, around Santa<br />

Cruz Island will happen after I submit this article, so you will have to “tune-in” next month to<br />

find out how much fun we had. In the meantime, let me fill you in on our July Catalina Cruise.<br />

Follow-up on Catalina Cruise: We had a great turnout, with the following boats joining us at<br />

either Cat Harbor or Avalon or both. Our PCYC Cruisers: Jim and Marge Curley’s on<br />

GaelForce II, Bob Fortner and Kathy Raduenz on Piece of Mine -with their crew of Al and<br />

Karen Lorenzen , Jim and Dee Canaday on Lady D, Don Johnson and Dixie Redden on Margaritaville, Jim Jones<br />

and family on Carrie Jay II, Jim Milles and friends on Bad Habit, Jack Schuler and Rose Helms with family on<br />

Esmeralda, Graham and June Wilson on Bella Vita, Henry and Shirley Goldman with family on Lady Sadie II, Rich<br />

and Candace Reynolds on Serenity, and of course the Citeras with guests Tom and Alice Kearney on Libertad. If I<br />

missed anyone, my apologies! Our first stop was Cat Harbor, and that night, we kicked off the cruise with a Cocktail<br />

party aboard the Citera’s Libertad, followed by a group dinner at Doug’s Harbor Reef Restaurant. The next night we<br />

really partied hearty (some of us A LOT MORE than others) with a “Cheese Burgers in Paradise” aboard the<br />

Curley’s boat, GaelForce II. Marge and Jim Curley went all out by decorating the boat with theme Palm Trees,<br />

followed by delicious cheeseburgers from Chef Marge. On Sunday, most of us moved on to Avalon while a few<br />

stayed behind in Cat Harbor. The Canadays had a misfortune, in that their prop picked some “stealth” poly rope and<br />

had to get towed in to Avalon. Thankfully, the Curleys came up behind and stayed with them until the Tow Boat<br />

came (some 4 hours later). Our hats are off to Jim and Marge for being the buddy boat for Lady D! Sunday night we<br />

celebrated getting into Avalon aboard the Fortner/Raduenz boat, Piece of Mine. By Monday, the Canadays had<br />

recovered from their ordeal well enough to host dinner for everyone with a “Taco Bar” aboard the Lady D. The next<br />

night we all gathered aboard the Goldman’s boat, Lady Sadie II, where we had another fantastic time. Wednesday<br />

was our annual Miniature Golf Tournament, followed by lunch at Mi Casita. Thursday we all met for cocktails at the<br />

Descanso Beach Bar and Grill, and followed by another group dinner at Antonio’s. By Friday, many of us were<br />

“partied out” and departed for homeport. A few of us lingered on, enjoying the perfect weather in Avalon.<br />

“Back to Cat Cruise”: Our next adventure will be our “Back to Catalina” Cruise, on Sept 28 through Oct 7.<br />

The signup sheet should be posted the first week in <strong>September</strong>, so look for it. If you have any questions or need<br />

more information, please text or call me at 661-373-6887, or email kym@citera.org .<br />

Looking forward to cruising with you…<br />

Fame Sweeps the Fleet in 35 th Annual McNish<br />

Classic <strong>Yacht</strong> Race<br />

Dennis Conner takes best overall and in class in his 102-year old boat<br />

By Catherine French, McNish Race Committee and<br />

Gene Beville, Fleet Captain Sail, Race Committee Chair<br />

Channel Islands Harbor – Saturday, July 28, 2012 marked the 35 th annual<br />

running of the McNish Classic <strong>Yacht</strong> Race, sponsored by <strong>Pacific</strong> <strong>Corinthian</strong><br />

<strong>Yacht</strong> <strong>Club</strong>.<br />

This specially designed race was created in 1977 by PCYC member Dick McNish and his friend Jim Crandall to allow<br />

wooden yachts to compete.<br />

What a difference a year made for Dick McNish as he just splashed his 1931 46-foot yawl Cheerio II in late May after<br />

having suffered a broken main mast during last year’s classic causing him to abandon the race. This year, he finished<br />

second in his class—Yawls.<br />

“It was so great to do so well in the race after having to abandon last year’s race. It took awhile to get the new mast built<br />

and stepped, but Cheerio II is back and ready for more racing and cruising,” said McNish.<br />

Twenty-seven classic wooden yachts from all over southern California competed in this year’s Classic. The racers<br />

enjoyed a beautiful afternoon of sailing with gentle seas and steady 10-14 knot northwesterly breezes. Because the<br />

wind was fairly constant during the race, the pursuit start format worked as it should and the competition was very<br />

exciting with all the boats finishing within an hour with most finishing within half an hour of the first to cross the line.<br />

The pursuit start format allows slower boats to start first and includes a windward leg, two reaching legs and a<br />

downwind finish.<br />

Every year skippers compete for the coveted Strathmore Cup – and to win their weight in Champagne. Making his 5 th<br />

appearance in this 17-mile triangular course race designed for wooden yachts, veteran America’s Cup skipper Dennis<br />

Conner of San Diego YC handily finished first overall taking the cup and the Champagne and first in Schooners Class<br />

ahead of the 1926 built La Volpe sailed by Jim O’Brian who finished second (and won the Bristol boat award). At the<br />

helm of his beautiful102-year old 40-foot topsail gaff-rigged Long Island Sound schooner Fame, Conner finished nearly<br />

ten minutes ahead of the second place overall H-28 ketch, Splinter, skippered by Dan Shepley, Jr., who also placed first<br />

in the ketch class. Bryan Chamberlain took third on Rose of Sharon.<br />

“It’s great to have Dennis here again this year in his beautiful boat Fame. He’s a great sailor and tough competitor,”<br />

McNish said.<br />

The Golden Dolphin trophy for lowest elapsed time went to the 50’ yawl Circe, skippered by M&C Bohanan who<br />

finished the course in 2:19:32, averaging 7.3 knots, also taking first place in the Yawl class.<br />

In Ketches Class, first place went to Dan Shepley on Splinter, team Dorty and Jensen took second on Patience and<br />

Spitfire took third place with Jeffrey Woods at the helm.<br />

Ladies Who Do Lunch Wrap Up<br />

It was a beautiful day in the harbor as the Ladies of PCYC and their guests gathered for the August<br />

Luncheon.<br />

Our hosts for this luncheon, Mary Kersting and Julia McQuillan, welcomed everyone to a room<br />

decorated in sea colors, shells and lighthouses. We feasted on Shrimp Louie salads and Chicken<br />

Teriyaki Bowls while sipping some exotic drinks fashioned by our Bar Manager, Courtney.<br />

The windows overlooking the harbor were the backdrop for the beautiful baskets that were either donated by members<br />

or put together by the LWDL committee from members’ donated items. I want to take this opportunity to thank all of<br />

you for your donations of baskets, or other items to create these baskets. Your generosity has made it possible for the<br />

LWDL committee to raise monies for those unfunded items for the <strong>Club</strong>….thank you so much!<br />

Our own member, Catherine French, wowed the audience with a presentation of the video ‘Treasure in the Sea’ narrated<br />

by Ventura County’s own Kevin Costner. The video was a beautifully filmed portrayal of what is truly a treasure in our<br />

midst, the Channel Islands National Park and Marine Sanctuary. Catherine has been a volunteer for the Park for over 11<br />

years. She gave us an introduction to the video and answered the many questions we had about the Park after the video.<br />

We thoroughly enjoyed hearing her stories of tours and adventures while serving as volunteer. Many of us were not<br />

aware of the many opportunities to explore the Channel Islands that are available to us. We extend our thanks to<br />

Catherine for a fun and very informative presentation. In a special drawing, two very lucky people won Island tours<br />

donated by Island Packers.<br />

We are now looking forward to our next luncheon in October. This luncheon is the one time that the proceeds are<br />

donated to charity. This year the charity is Please Hear Us. Org. This organization is dedicated to providing financial<br />

assistance to help pay for Ventura County cancer patients’ treatments and medications. Judi Roussey and Roxy Gross<br />

are our hosts for this luncheon. Please give them or me a call if you would like to help with this luncheon.<br />

Dinghy Dine Around<br />

(It’s really lunch.)<br />

11:00 a.m. on Sunday, October 14, 2012<br />

In Sloops/Cutters A Walter Russakoff, who has sailed his yacht Vignette in every race for the past 35 years, won<br />

first place, with Antares coming in second with Steven Guilford at the helm, and third place was taken by Tom<br />

Zetlmaier on Spartan.<br />

The good breeze made for a flashy finish with yachts finishing in close together with their colorful array of chutes<br />

billowing in the afternoon breeze just outside the detached breakwater at Channel Islands Harbor. The competitors<br />

and the many spectators reported having a wonderful day, fitting for such a glorious celebration of yachting<br />

tradition, and enjoying every aspect of the event and they packed the PCYC clubhouse after the race to watch Dick<br />

McNish award the trophies.<br />

Hi Brenda,<br />

I've been meaning to send off a thank you for hosting the Santa Barbara Sail and Power Squadron<br />

over the July 7 weekend. We all had a great time and especially enjoyed the dinner - it was delicious.<br />

We've been doing this for some 27 years now and we were very pleased with the accommodations,<br />

support, and service.<br />

Thanks so much,<br />

Cdr. Rich Ciolino<br />
