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!

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 />

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 />

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 />
