From the Commodore
We finally got the boat out, raised sails and went out for a great sail. The winds were a little
stronger than we usually go for, on our first sail of the year. Deb had P1 close hauled with the rails
in the water. What a great way to start the sailing season! I can’t wait for the next sail and hope
to see more boats across the lake, from the club harbor to the dam.
Hopefully you’ve been to the lake, and noticed the water is coming down from the 5 ½' above pool
level. After several years of seeing drought conditions, it’s been very good to see this abundance
of water. However, this did result in the postponement of some of our favorite club functions:
the Long Distance Race and the Shrimp Boil. These have been moved to July and September
(respectively), so plan on being there to enjoy these events.
Zack and Jim did hold the Summer Sailstice event. At 12:00 pm we made as much noise as we
July 25 Long Distance Sailing Activity
could (horns/whistles/bells/etc.), welcoming the longest day of the year. Snacks, games and
(re-scheduled)
hanging out with friends, were the plans of the day. It was so good to see everyone having a
good time together.

July is going to be a very active month. Please watch your emails for events, and plan on attending
the sailing activities and the social activities. The MORE the MERRIER!!
The Audit Committee met with the CPA again. We plan on presenting the findings, recommendations,
and the incorporation of these recommendations to the August Board of Governors meeting.
The club races are scheduled to move to Wednesday nights. If you have any interest in racing or
learning to race, come on out and join us. After the races, there is time to hang out and swap
stories of the happenings from the races.
The club has had various members invite other groups to our club, to experience sailing and WVSC.
The Adventurous Babes, the Parrot Heads and the Friends of El Dorado Lake will all be out to
WVSC. All are FUN groups! This is a prime time to share the passion of sailing. If you happen
to see these groups, introduce yourself and welcome them to our club! These are
opportunities to grow our club!
The STEP program was also affected by the high water. The first session was moved, to be
incorporated with the 2nd session. Ted and Jack are also offering sessions to qualify our members
in the 14.2’s. This will allow members the use of these boats during the season — with the
exception of the time that STEP classes are being held.
Sailing the 14.2’s can be a lot of fun!
I hope you’ve caught the common thread I’ve been trying
to convey. It was SO good to see everyone having fun at
the Sailstice activity, and not one person came up to talk
politics with me! For one afternoon, it was just about
FUN!! We need more afternoon and evenings like this and
we need more members joining in. With your participation,
we can have a full house at our activities. You will have a
GREAT / FUN time!!! Hope to see you at the Lake!
Fair Winds!

Wednesday Morning Breakfast Club: Now that the water is back
on at the lake, John McCabe has reinstituted the Wednesday Morning
Breakfast Club. Go to the lake for the 9 AM meeting. Hang out with
other sailors, eat and swap lies…er…I mean sailing stories!
Summer Racing Session Begins: The Spring racing session is
-----------------------------------------
over, thankfully. Between the high water and high winds we only
got off two races! Summer racing starts Wednesday July 1. Races will
begin at 7:00 PM, with skippers’ meeting at 6:00 PM It will run from
July 1-August 26. After racing, stick around and swap sailing stories
and eat PIZZA (donations collected).
Model Sailing: We all are aware of the sailboat racing activities—
both within our club and at Ninnescah. Did you know there's another
club that races sailboats in the area? Primarily one design races are
held once a month, spring through fall. Usually 10 sailboats, give or
take a few, show up at one of the lakes at Sedgwick County Park, next
to the Zoo. Competitive racing is held according to established full
sized racing rules.
Hope to see you on the water,
Randy Malcom
-----------------------------------------
We're talking about the Air Capital Model Sailing Club, or ACMSC.
They have a very good website that tells you when the races are, what
time, etc. One class is called the Seawind Class. The boats are built
from a kit sold by a company called Kyosho. Local hobby shops often
stock these. All put together, this boat is 1 meter long and 6' tall,
from keel to mast top. You can adjust stays, shrouds, down hauls, etc
but cannot modify the hull. Jib and mainsail have to not be modified
either. A 2 channel ( 2 function ) radio is used. One function is rudder,
and the other is operating the sails using a sail winch servo.
Security Bonus: Now that we have a new security system installed
in the activity center, WVSC can offer a share of the incentive bonus
offered by Central Security (previously “Securenet”).
If you are considering an alarm system for your house or business,
mention WVSC as your sponsor and when we receive confirmation of
the referral bonus, the club will contribute $30 to your cost of
installation.
-----------------------------------------
I have had my Seawind for about 10 years. It is a quick model, and
takes surprisingly little wind to make way. I have never had to rescue
my boat, they always drift to shore, at least.
Capri 14.2 Checkout: We will be offering our "check-out" sessions
for the Capri 14.2 sailboats anytime during the summer months (warm
water required!).
This is a very friendly group. They will very freely let you try the
sailing...after all, you can't harm or damage the boat. They can also
be very competitive, and they keep scoring all season long. Rob Fresh
from the Ninnescah Sailing Association is a very good racer, perhaps
some of you know him.
Walnut Valley Club members are invited to call Tedd Blankenship
(775-1064) or Jack Van Dam (655-0046) to make arrangements for
an orientation session. The boats will not be available during the STEP
classes, but otherwise are available for club use. Experienced sailors
only please; those under the age of 24 must have a Kansas Boater
Safety certificate to be at the helm as per Kansas State law.

On The Dock News Letter
Summer Sailstice 2015. Congratulations to John and Deb Aschbrenner! I
hope to submit pictures of all of our events to our webmaster to put on
our website’s Social page.
By Jim Smith, Chair - Sailing Activities Committee
The next upcoming events are shown on the schedule below and
remember a Great/Fun Club is made by the members and those who
participate. So I hope to see you soon and remember—we cannot help
our club to grow and flourish if we don’t give opportunities by inviting
those that we know to Come Sail With Us!
As most people already know, you just cannot stop Mother Nature.
However, she has turned her head and has permitted spring to change to
summer! If you’ve been keeping up to date with Fred Harvey’s emails, you
already know that most of our planned activities to date have either been
rescheduled or cancelled due to the inclement weather. If you haven’t
been brought up to date, I would like to add the following: The long
Distance Event scheduled for May 30th and has been rescheduled to
July 25th - it will include a visiting group of 20 of our friends from the
Adventurous Babe’s Society. Since last year’s visit the ABS has opened
a whole new avenue for getting the word out about the WVSC. Uncle
Gene’s Swap Meet was hampered some, but there were some deals made
no matter how deep the water was! The Event that was most effected
was the Ladies Maneuvering and Docking Event, scheduled for June 13th,
which was cancelled due to high water and lack of registrants. This event
may be rescheduled if there are enough parties interested in participating.
July 3rd: Cardboard Boat Race / Ernie Condon
July 4th: Pirates Pillage & Watermelon Run / Gene Plehal
July 11th: Lantern Lighting Event at El Dorado Lake. This might
(EVENING) be a great night sail to watch all of the lanterns go up!
July 25th: Long Distance Sailing Activity / Dave Leiker

Sept. 5th: Decathlon Sailing Activity / Amos Cape
If you did not pick up your Sailing Social t-shirt and/or tank top at the
Summer Sailtice Event I have them ready for pick up at the Club. Look me
up and I will get them to you. I want to thank all that placed orders for
the shirts to help support the Sailing Socials, which are where any monies
earned goes back into.
If you have been out to the Clubhouse or have read your Windword, you
would have most likely participated in this year’s first real Sailing/Dock
event, the 2015 Sailtice. If you didn’t, you really missed out! This year’s
2015 Sailtice event was bigger and better than the last, and I expect it to
grow even more in the future - this is what happens when everyone learns
how fun this event is! There were more decorated boats with even better
decorations than last year. This great event included not only decorated
boats, but a swimming relay event that included at least 18 people, and
a BBQ that provided hamburgers and hot dogs for all. Due to technical
difficulties, I was unable to publish a picture of the winning team for
Thanks again, from me and all of those on my committee.
Respectfully,
Jim Smith | Sailing Social Committee Chair

1980 O’DAY 23' SAILBOAT
The boat is a centerboard model with the standard rig
1980 O’Day 23-2. The boat has custom cruiser/racer full
cut sails made by Hild Sails in 1996. Up front is a 150%
genoa that can be reefed to 100% on a Hood Yacht
Systems roller furler. The main sail has standard battens
and one set of reef points. All lines have been run aft to
the cockpit so that one person can easily handle the boat.
The boat can also go almost anywhere due the shallow
draft (2.26' with the centerboard up). The cockpit features
custom Marine closed cell foam cushions made by JSI, a
compass, and Autohelm ST30 Bitdata instrumentation
(which I was told worked but never messed with). The
boat also comes with an electric start 9.9 Johnson
Sailmaster outboard motor. The motor starts and runs
great. All of the fuel lines were replaced last fall and the
carburetor and fuel pump were rebuilt (both with OEM
kits). After having this motor I don’t know if I’ll ever be
able to go back to a pull start. The electrical system is also
in working order featuring a marine deep cycle battery,
trickle charger, working lights, radio and speakers. (The
bilge was working when I purchased the boat but was
acting up when I checked it the second time so a new one
was purchased and hasn’t been installed yet). The cabin
interior is in good shape with all of the original cushions,
a nice dinette table and one piece carpet (which prevents
slipping). It sits on a freshly restored tandem axle trailer
(professionally sandblasted, painted, all new wiring, lights,
bearings, races and seals replaced. The only thing I haven’t
done yet to prepare it for a long haul is replace the tires).
The boat also comes with lots of extras: Set of hank-on
original O’Day sails, and additional 150% genoa. Swim
ladder. Multiple sets of hatch boards (originals, plexiglass,
and new unused teak). Set of new hatch runner boards
(never installed) I wish I could keep it but I am moving to
Santa Ana for work and between the cost of living
increase and how expensive it will be to keep it there I
need to sell it. All reasonable offers will be considered.

• WVSC/STEP audit committee’s update:
Fleet Maintenance
The auditor selected is highly qualified and has no ties to WVSC, STEP, their
respective boards, or any of the audit committee members.
• Committee boat in great shape, old boat sold.
The WVSC/STEP audit team held our first meeting with our auditor on 5/21/2015.
Delay was at the auditor's request to avoid tax season. WVSC Members attending
were John Aschbrenner, Kathy Malcom, Dave Bonifield, and Gene Nold. A previous
informal meeting, phone conversations, and emails, occurred to supply the auditor

BOG Meeting, cont. from Page 13
with a list of issues, identified by the WVSC team last year as presented to the
WVSC annual meeting last November, and supporting documentation.
After reviewing the issues and documentation, the auditor suggested that WVSC
might be better served by a consultation, as opposed to an AUP audit, as approved
at the WVSC annual meeting. All of our issues could be resolved at a considerable
cost savings. The audit team present at the meeting chose to continue with the
consultation method vs the AUP.
During the meeting, all of the issues presented at the annual meeting, by the WVSC
audit team were discussed. When the audit is complete, the WVSC audit team will
release a report of findings and the auditor will supply a report that will be released
to the club membership.
New Business: None
Members Concerns
• Why are Powerboats listed in the “for sale” section of our newsletter…being sold
by “Wichita Marine”?
A: NSA submitted the ad. NSA and WVSC reciprocate with shared ads. This ad has
been pulled from our newsletter.
• What is STEP? A 501 C 3, a 503 C nonprofit corporation as listed in all their “Come
Sail With Us” applications for the past 2 years, or a 503B nonprofit as stated on
2/12/15? Clarify the 3 nonprofit classifications as pertaining to STEP.
A: STEP is a 501c(3). This has been a typo on the applications for some time, this
will be corrected. • Why are some of the ads for coming events, like the long distance race, Sailing swap meet and summer sailstice (Cannot even see the photo) only given a quarter
page ad and STEP’s “Come Sail With Us” always gets two full pages even when the
classes are full?
A: Ads are sized to fit the newsletter pages. Last month there were over 20 pages
of submittals; these were downsized to 14 pages. If you’re sponsoring the club’s
next major event, please mark your submission as a “priority item.” To limit full
page priority items to the upcoming month’s activities only.
Once we have the final report, the audit team will present the results to the Board
of Governors, including recommendations for the go-forward plan.
Second meeting with CPA is scheduled.
BOG / Membership Forums
•
WVSC Advisory Group: Tim Miller reported on the Advisory Group (AG) process. The
AG met for the second time on May 26th. Each AG member is invited to identify
issues that need attention. When everyone has completed their opening statements,
the agenda will schedule discussion time for the items on the table.
• A second list of recommendations was presented to the BOG – These were items
agreed by the AG with minimum discussion and do not represent the final output of
the group.
