By the time you read
this, we will already have had
our welcome reception for
our new General Manager –
Norm Cote. In case you
missed this reception, Norm
started on May 16 and he hit
the ground running with the
Club / Fleet Operations Meeting, Finance & Planning
Meeting, Thursday Night Dinner / Bulkhead Race, and
Friday Night Music all in the first week. If you haven’t
met Norm, please stop by the club and introduce yourself
and welcome him to the KYC family.
Memorial Day weekend on the mainland is
supposed to be the unofficial start of summer but in
Hawaii it’s the start of kids getting out of school.
Hooray, commute times start to get much better. It also
starts the Summer Sailing program at the club. Jesse
Andrews, (Junior Sailing Director) has been very busy
getting ready as classes started on May 30. The front
office has been busy taking reservations for the Summer
Classes and the classes are already filling up. Jesse has
created a great team of instructors this year and we look
forward to a successful Summer Sailing Program.
In May, we added music on the third Friday and
for those who were unable to attend it was a huge
success. Based on the results we are now going to have
music twice a month for the summer – the first and third
Fridays. Look for the posters and blast e-mail for who
will be performing each Friday. Roselle has some great
musicians lined up. If you haven’t been to our Friday
music you are missing a fun night. You can order from
our snack bar window or fire up the BBQ and cook your
own dinner.
June is going to be a busy month at the club as it is
IRF Summer Circuit time. This regatta is held every
June on three Sundays with the exception of Father’s
Day – June 20. Rick Osborne has done another great job
promoting this regatta and hopes to have close to 25
boats participating.
We have had a difficult time hiring Life Guards for
the weekends this year, but I have some good news we
hired one lifeguard to work weekdays and another
lifeguard to work weekends. They will both start the first
week of June.
There is a shortage of blood at the Blood Bank and
they asked KYC if we could have another Blood Drive
in June. Pam Isayama has stepped up to organize this
Blood Drive scheduled for Saturday, June 25 with the
assistance of Jean Fernie, Barbra Green, Harvey Minsky
and June Williams. There will be sign-up sheets
available soon so please sign-up to support this Blood
Drive. Pam deserves a BIG MAHALO for organize this
event.
In closing, the Pacific Cup is coming in July. The
race starts on July 11 in San Francisco and concludes
with a week of events beginning on July 25 at the club.
We are planning for 70 boats this year and planning for
this event is in full swing. I want to thank all the
Committee Chairs for their hard work in planning for
this important event at the club.
Enjoy the summer and stay safe….
Vice Commodore
Tom Wood
Aloha all. May
was a great month at
your Club and we are
looking forward to the
rest of the summer.
We recently welcomed
Mr. Normand Cote as
our new Manager. The
selection committee considered many candidates
and Norm rose to the top of the pile. We are very
glad to have him onboard and contributing.
Welcome Aboard Norm!
Preparations continue for a busy summer
season, from Summer Circuit to Pacific Cup and
the rest of the fleet activities, as well as First and
third Fridays, and Relay for Life and all the other
excitement – there’s lots going on and lots to see
and do.
As we approach summer, there are a few
things that we should take stock of as boaters.
First, our responsibility to help maintain our
wonderful Bay includes keeping track of what we do
on shore and on the piers. Debris, batteries, liquids,
and hazardous materials should not be left on the
ground or piers where they may leach or spill into the
Bay. In the event of a spill, use the spill containment
kits and immediately notify the office of the
circumstances. In most cases, whenever there is a spill
no matter how small, there are legal reporting
requirements that we must follow, and we also will
need to replenish any containment supplies that are
used in responding to the spill. All maintenance work
must follow our Best Management Practices (BMP’s)
to minimize the risk of spills. If you don’t have a copy
– ask for one. Preventing a spill is far, far easier (and
cheaper) than cleaning up one.
Second, June 1st marks the traditional
beginning of the summer storm season. While we
all know storms can happen anytime, and certainly
our worst damage in recent years has been from
winter storms, we still need to remain vigilant to
the possibility of tropical weather systems. The
Foul Weather Friends and the Port Captain and
Mooring Committee are inspecting berths for
safety as well as other compliance issues. For all
wet slip tenants, please visit your boat and check
your slips. Dry slip tenants should also take the
time to check their boats, trailers and slip area.
Loose items, poorly attached canvas, etc. can
create hazards and additional damage during
storms. Take the time to clean up before these
become a problem.
Third, everyone who moors or stores their
boat at KYC should make sure that their contact
information is up to date at all times with the office.
Multiple contact numbers are encouraged so that
when there is an impending storm or other potential
emergency, we can reach you or your representative
promptly. We all strive to take care of each other,
but ultimately Skippers, your boat is your
responsibility. Now is also an excellent time to
double check to make sure your insurance coverage
is up to date and provides the proper coverage.
While you are at it, please provide a recent copy of
your policy information to the office.
Take care of yourselves and each other.
Rear Commodore
Frederic Berg
Yes, that was the
month of May that just
whizzed by, did you notice
it? The season is in full
swing as evidenced by the
plethora of activities at the
Club.
Starting with
Mothers Day, a potpourri
of IRF and Classboat races, a tennis tournament, a
Fishing Fleet get together, Offshore racing to
Molokai, delivery of new Toppers, the town fleet
visiting on their treck around the island, seminars to
learn everything you ever wanted to know about
sailing, a junior camp out at the Club, First Fridays,
Second Fridays, Thursday night bulkhead races
every Thursday, and even Friday night dinghy races,
yes, every Friday. OK, you can catch your breath
now. It all takes a lot of volunteer work to make this
happen, so please take the time to thank those that
put in the tireless hours. Better yet, the next time
you see someone that has volunteered in your part of
our diverse Club, ask them how you can help too.
Chances are they are looking for a little help here
and there and before you know it, they’ll be handing
over the reigns to you, so they can become the next
Rear Commodore! It happened to me so it can
happen to anyone. It’s very gratifying work and
you’ll get to know the Club a little better.
Coming up is the Summer Circuit, the biggest
regatta in Hawaii, over the month of June with the
exception of Father’s Day. Rick Osborne continues
to amaze us in putting together an excellent regatta.
If you haven’t put together your team, there’s still
time. I know the Melges Fleet will be out with a
vengeance. Don’t look now, but the J-80 Fleet is
growing by leaps and bounds and will likely surpass
the Melges Fleet by this time next year. You can say
I said so.
The Club is working on a mini masterplan of
our vast parking lot including dry storage. All
scenarios are on the table such as putting the tennis
courts together in one location, creating an area for
repair and maintenance of all size boats, rack storage
for dry stored boats, moving the maintenance shed,
increasing dry storage, making better use of the area
south of the drainage canal and who knows what
other crazy ideas the geniuses can generate. It’s so
easy with pencil, paper and a good eraser…
It’s looking like the El Nino pattern that brought
us a record year of tropical disturbances is winding
down and with it the risk of hurricanes. That
shouldn’t mean backing off on mooring lines
keeping your boat safe and away from your
neighbors. Please use this time as the storm season
begins to check up on your mooring hardware. Do
you have any idea what’s under those tires on the
piling next to you? The chain may be chafed
through ready to release at the first real strain.
Better to change it now than wait for the winds to
clear it out for you.
Once again, just bringing up the Rear…
See you around the Club.

Manager’s Reception
Welcome our New Manager Norm Cote
Tuesday May 31, 2016. Members turned out in good numbers to
meet the new Club Manager Norm Cote at a reception in his honor.
A delicious selection of pupu was also served. Welcome Norm!
VOLUNTEERS NEEDED, SIGN-UPS HAPPENING NOW
Pacific Cup, “the Fun Race to Hawaii”, runs every other summer from
San Francisco Bay. This has been an event since 1980 and finishing at
Kaneohe Yacht Club since 1988. The Kaneohe Yacht Club committees
have been working hard planning and organizing the various activities
necessary to make this a successful event. This requires lots of volunteers.
Committees are still looking help. There is a sign-up sheet along with the
committee descriptions on KYC’s main notice board near the Bar in Ma
Shultz Lounge, or you may contact the Chair of the committee listed on
the description sheet. Committees are planning their training sessions. If
you haven’t signed up yet don’t hesitate now is the time.
PARTY!PARTY!PARTY!
Pacific cup would not be complete without KYC’s spectacular parties.

International 14 Fleet
Elise Leroux
The I-14 fleet is excited about all the new
faces in our fleet! Michael Pacholski and
Giacomo Paoletti from the UH sailing team
are now racing USA 1160 together. Michael
previously sailed I-14s in California; Giacomo
is new to the boats but you wouldn’t know it
to watch him on the water. Cole Brauer, also
from the UH sailing team, had her first I-14
outing earlier this year and is eager for more;
and Craig Brown got on a 14 for the first time
in many years for our most recent classboat
regatta.
I-14 Classboat Regatta F, May 1
The I-14 fleet had a wonderful day of
tight racing. The wind ranged from 5 to 20
knots from the ENE on a sunny day. Race 1
saw several lead changes with each boat
leading at some stage. Andy Bates and Maddy
Kennedy came out on top, followed by
Michael Pacholski and Giacomo Paoletti in
2nd place and Elise Leroux and Kevin Rogers
in 3rd. That race must have set the tone for the
day, because the finish order was the same in
the two races that followed – but the results
belie the closeness of the racing. In Race 2,
Andy and Maddy squeezed out first by less
than half a boat length over Michael and
Giacomo. In Race 3, each boat held the lead at
some point during the race. This proved to be
the most exiting race of the day with increased
breeze, more shifts and puffs, a downwind
finish, and tight racing.
I-14 Classboat Regatta G May 22
The strong breeze for Classboat Regatta
G on May 22 – 15 knots gusting to 23 plus –
made for some great rides on the I-14s! Four
boats come out to the starting line. Andy
Bates and Maddy Kennedy schooled the rest
of the fleet in how to stay upright in stiff
breeze, winning Race 1 handily. They had a
long wait for the others, as Elise Leroux and
Craig Brown had a swimming competition
with Thomas Pochereva and Yovo Stefanov.
Unfortunately, Michael Pacholski and
Giacomo Paoletti suffered damage and headed
in. Tom and Yovo got past Elise and Craig to
take 2nd place. After finishing, the latter boat
retired for the day, leaving two boats for Races
2 and 3.
Races 2 and 3 were exciting races, with
the two boats neck-and-neck throughout. Tom
and Yovo won Race 2 and Andy and Maddy
battled back to win Race 3, taking first for the
day by one point. It was very exciting racing
and great crew work!

Tennis Fleet News
Kit Beuret Fleet President
The KYC Tennis Fleet held its March tournament under
threatening skies. At 8am the courts were covered with a half inch of
rainwater. Squeegees are no longer used as the court surfaces are
delicate and any scraping has a negative effect. Sponge rollers were
used and play began only a few minutes late. The lower court is
looking gorgeous these days thanks to Rob Rietow who has spent
many hours working bleaching out dark stains that had crept across
the surface.
Our June tournament will be held on Saturday the 11th with a
potluck BBQ cookout to follow. If you have ever been interested in
joining the KYC Tennis Fleet, please show up any Saturday or
Sunday morning for our mixed doubles drop in sessions. All are
welcome.
E komo mai.

Junior Commodore
Malia Johnson
There was a lot happening with the Juniors last
month. The weekend of May 14 & 15 we held the first
ever KYC Junior Sail Camp. The Junior Sailors and I
would like to thank the KYC Board of Directors and
Kaneohe Yachting Foundation for their support. We
would also like to thank our volunteer coaches whom
without their help this would not have been possible.
Thank you to Andy Johnson, Jesse Andrews, John &
Danielle Myrdal, Maddy Kennedy, Cole Brauer and Michael Pacholski. Thank
you also to the I14 fleet for letting us take over their space for a night.
Sail Camp was awesome! 22 kids participated and all but 3 spent the
night. Each one of us had different sailing skills so we split up into groups.
The first day was a blast, in the morning we set up our tents and did a few
icebreakers to get the camp started. Next we went out on the water and had
sailing drills and played games such as a shaving cream fight and tennis ball
game where we retrieved over 100 numbered balls from the water and returned
them to the coach boats without running into each other. We had a potluck
dinner that night (thank you parents for bringing the delicious food) and then
did team building games until lights out. My favorite part was all the campfire
stories. Everyone was exhausted! The second day after a great pancake
breakfast we brought Bics and Toppers out to the sandbar, then back to the
club for a wrap up and pizza lunch.
Overall Sail Camp was a very good experience for everyone who
attended! Many campers told me that they are very excited for junior sailing
in the summer and plan on taking classes! I hope that we can do this again next
year.
Movie Night was held on May 27 on the Upper Deck and the kids enjoyed
the movie Home. Thank you to Meghan Furukawa and Pete Stokka for set up
and breakdown of the night. Next Movie Night is Friday June 24. We will be
showing “Penguins of Madagascar”. Movie starts at 7PM, see you there!

Aloha Fishing Fleet,
A great big MAHALO for the turnout at our last FF Meeting. We
have added a lot of new faces! Below please see that the meeting for
June has been changed and we hope to have another big turnout.
Fishing has been getting off to a real slow start and we have yet to
weigh a fish this month as of today. Our defending champion Rob Cannonico's boat is back up and running and he says he will get one before
the end of May's tournament.

Reflections
By Glenn D. Clark, Jr.
The National Maritime Day in the U.S. is a holiday
observing the Maritime Industry. It is observed on May 22nd,
the date in 1819 that the American ship, Savannah set sail from
Georgia on the first Trans-Ocean steam powered voyage! The
holiday was created by Congress on May 20th, 1933. This
holiday is celebrated by most ports in the U.S. that border
oceans.
The Propeller Club of Hawaii was founded in Hawaii in
1950. The main objective of this organization was in
developing positive input and output to assist the growth and
management of ships, ports, and merchant marine industry. The
state of Hawaii, being surrounded by water was a primary
receipient of maritime information!.
By the early 1960s sailboating was expanding greatly!
And why not, the island had water, wind and now boats. Ergo
in the early 1960s, races were held off Waikiki. The Honolulu
Propeller Club began sponsoring races, giving trophies and
locating restaurants for dinners. In 1966, on Saturday May
14th, a record entry of 96 sailboats, from 40ft. down to 8ft.
Sunfishes, started from 10:35 am on- as eleven class boats,
filled the start area of Ala Moana Park and all started before
12:30. The race went to Diamond Head - to Pearl Harbor - and
back to finish at Waikiki. Leeward residents were treated to
white and multi coloured sails for the coast, on the sailing
course! The last finisher was at 7:10 pm! Great Day!
Thursday May 26, 2016 - A surprise going away party was held for long time
members Clark and Jenny Fremgen and daughter Claire. The Fremgens will be
moving to Mukwonago, Wisconsin where they will become members of the Beulah
Yacht Club. We will miss them dearly and wish them the best. Keep in touch
Fremgen Family and look out Wisconsin! ~ A Hui Hou
