N 027° 31.50 Long. W 082° 36.72 From The Helm Summer is over, kids are back in school, Commodore the BYC is gearing up for its busy year, and I have just completed two months as your Commodore. The time is flying, and I am loving every moment of my year. Friday nights continue to be our favorite Club night, and last Friday the Club was full as we all enjoyed Taylor & Taylor in the lounge. It’s great to see the Club busy, especially during August. My favorite gathering this summer was our Clam Bake Parrot Head Party (really it was a lobster night). Those of us that attended enjoyed the evening, and the food seemed to be more than what our stomachs could handle. The Club really gave us a treat that night with 1½ pound lobsters or huge strip steaks. After having had so many people ask to have this night repeated, I am sure George has it on his calendar. This month marks the beginning of various Club activities starting with the 34th Annual Kick-Off Regatta. Entertainment kicks off their year on September 10th with a Comedy Night. OOO Janet Amar This is the beginning of a whirlwind year. Read the Poop Deck and check the calendar. You do not want to miss what’s coming up. Our Facebook page is getting a bit of a new look. One of the items being added is a BYC Boater’s Swap Shop so that boating equipment can be traded, sold or given away between BYC members. Thanks to member Bob Harris for the idea of a “Swap Shop”, and thank you Jenifer and Cindy for making it happen. There’s so much in store this year – we will be the envy of other clubs. The beautiful Pram Fleet Building is nearing completion and with that will come other opportunities for our Club. The quarterly financials will be reported to you on our website under the password protected area of Member Central called “Treasurer Quarterly Report”. We are moving the reporting of this information from the Poop Deck to a more private and secure area for members only. You will be notified when the reports are ready for viewing. By this reading, you, the membership, should have received your notice of a Special Meeting of the Membership to be held on September SEPTeMBER 2016 8th regarding the roof project either by email or post. If you have not, please contact the BYC office immediately. The purpose of this Special Meeting is for membership to approve an earlier commencement date for the replacement of the roof, which was originally approved by membership for the Fall of 2017. Membership will be asked to approve a new commencement date of January 2017. This request is due to the increased deterioration and other arising roof issues occurring more rapidly than originally expected. The funds that were approved by membership for this project are available now to proceed upon your approval. If you are unable to attend this Special Meeting, please be sure to send in your proxy naming a member in good standing to vote on your behalf. If you are unsure on how to complete a proxy, please contact the BYC office before submitting. Well, I hope you enjoyed your summer, and you are ready to join me for some BYC fun. Please continue to send me your ideas and thoughts – your involvement will enhance your BYC experience. See you around the Club. – Janet Labor Day Pool Party Monday, September 5, 2016 Party Noon to 7:00 p.m., Food Noon to 6:00 p.m., Tiki Bar and Pool Bar will be open until 8:00 On the Cover: Sail boaters heading out from the wall for a day of racing at last year’s Kick-off Regatta.

We are headed into Fall which means the Pool Bar will no longer be open for lunch on weekdays. However, we will still have service outside if desired. The Pool Bar’s new days are Friday, Saturday, and Sunday for the Fall season. Due to popular demand the last Thursday of every month will be our “Family Bingo” outside at the Pool Bar starting at 6:00 pm. September is going to be a very exciting month. The Entertainment Committee was able to secure a live comedy show on September 10th starring Bobby Kelton, a Tonight Show Veteran. Please make reservations ASAP. Seats are limited. As you may know, the BYC has been working without an Executive Chef for the last three months. I have been interviewing a large number of applicants and at this time I’m pleased to announce that the next Executive Chef of the Bradenton Yacht Club will be Brian Perrone. We are excited to have Chef Perrone join our team at the BYC. Chef Perrone attended Johnson and Wales from 2004-2006. He studied Culinary Arts and worked at the very successful restaurant Brice in Miami. Chef Perrone then moved to New York to finish his internship. Soon after he was hired at the Jacksonville Golf and Country Club. Two years ago he accepted an offer to become the Executive Sous at the Deerwood Country Club in Jacksonville where he spent the last four years. Chef Perrone will be a presence in front of the house as well as in the kitchen, so please say hello. We are doing our Club shut down from September 24th to September 29th. The Club, including the pool, will be closed. On Friday September 23rd, we will be having a close down blow out party. This party will include live music from Caribbean Cowboy and will feature a Grand Buffet Menu. – George BYC’s Kick-Off Regatta Friday, Saturday & Sunday, September 16-18, 2016 The BYC Long Wall will fill with sail boats and tall masts, as BYC hosts the 34th annual Fall Kick-Off Regatta.

He is a sailor and an experienced power boater. When asked to choose between the two, John split the difference by stating that his ideal craft would be a “Pilot House Motor Sailor”. John met and married his wife Betsy here at BYC. Both John and Betsy have been very involved in various BYC activities and are valuable members with John having served distinguishably on our Board of Directors. John with his red snapper catch. Jason Joule’s recent catch on John’s boat, Pollux II. What is the largest fish you ever caught? The largest fish I ever landed was a 5 foot nurse shark. The largest game fish I have caught was a 33 inch striped bass which I landed off Long Beach Island, New Jersey. Your favorite fish to eat? Black Sea Bass. Ever been frightened while on the water? Yes, when I was sailing my Laser sailboat in a 35 knot wind off Long Beach, California. I came very close to rolling over. Favorite fish preparation? Fried in my mother’s cast iron skillet. – Troy John’s father, John Sr., who gave him an early start at 5 years old, holding the fluke he caught in Barnegat Bay, NJ. • B O A R D I N G John’s daughter, Christina at age 4, with a sand shark, Barnegat Bay, NJ.

The crews dined at Pasadena Yacht Club on Friday night, joined by Bob and Linda Enberg, and Steve and Keri Hockett after “docktails” on Windward. Twenty people attended the dinner at Pia’s Trattoria in Gulfport on Saturday night with Frank and Diana Wendt along with friends, and Fred and Trish Ruggiero, who drove up for the occasion. Wind that was lacking on the trip up Friday, returned with a vengeance on Sunday as twenty knot Easterlies filled the sails for a race home. The next cruise is being captained by Mark and Denise Berté to Pass-a-Grille Yacht Club on the weekend of September 23rd through the 25th. The October Cruise will be captained by Steve and Keri Hockett to Long Boat Key Club Moorings on October 7th through the 9th. The next Sail Fleet Meeting is September 7th when Mike Clay, Bay News 9 Chief Meteorologist, will speak from a meteorologist’s perspective on Tampa Bay Weather. Mike Clay helped launch Bay News 9 in 1997 and was part of the team that installed Klystron 9, the first of its kind radar at any television station. One of Clay’s most memorable moments at Bay News 9 was the morning of August 13, 2004 when Bay News 9 successfully forecast Hurricane Charley to stay south of the Tampa Bay area. This is a very timely topic from a national weather expert to discuss details and methods utilized to predict forecasts, particularly hurricanes that affect our lives as Florida residents. Mike spoke at the BYC last year and his discussions are very engaging with ample time for questions. Be sure to make your reservations for our September 7th meeting. You’ll be glad you did. Joe McClash presenting the “Internacional Hemingway Cuba” burgee to Most Recent Past See you there, – John Commodore Mark Berté. Above right; Pat Keller awarded “Sail Boat Tough Luck Award”. Cruising - Although BYC takes an August break and combines two months of Poop Decks into one, the Sail Fleet maintained course with two great dinner meetings and one cruise entered in the log. At the July meeting, Pat Keller was awarded the Sail Boat Tough Luck Award. The presentation by Joe McClash of The Inaugural BYC Cuba Voyage, was thoroughly enjoyed by a sellout attendance. The August meeting highlighted the Sail Race Fleet with presentations of the “Beer Can” racing series awards by Tom Grubb. He also arranged the evening’s guest speaker, Charley Morgan, world renowned yacht designer and sailor. Charley wove an intriguing tale of his early Tampa Bay days as a “wharf rat” to becoming founding member of Morgan Yachts. He also designed and sailed “Heritage” for the America’s Cup. The Sail Fleet Cruises commenced with a trip to Pasadena Yacht Club August 12th through 14th. Six boats made the cruise northward on a windless Friday. Russ Ward and first mate Sylvia Barber on Windward, Mark and Denise Berté on Swamp Rabbit, Alan Darrow and long time fellow sailing buddy Lorin on Avalon, Joe and Casey McClash on Windcaller, Larry and Linda Scott on Island Attitude, and John and Anna Broshears on Anna Marie. The days were hot and •16 •6 Racing - Here comes the start of the racing season! September marks the first major regatta of the Tampa Bay area (Sept 16 – 18), and it is hosted right here at the BYC. It is known across the area for its prime race location in lower Tampa Bay, and for the entertainment we provide after the racing. The regatta boasts two days of exciting racing with live entertainment and a pool party Saturday. There are multiple Tom Grubb fleets of racers, some doing windward leeward courses in the middle of the bay, while others sail the perimeter around the bay south of the Sunshine Skyway. A great way to prepare for the Kick Off Regatta is to come out for some weekly “Beer Can” Races. Our races are usually about an hour long and currently are held on Thursday evenings at 6:30pm, which is one of the most beautiful times to sail in the summer! We just finished the first summer series, where Frank Yamamoto and the good crew of Black Star proved to be the champs by one race! The weekly racer boat owners and crew were presented annual awards at the last Sail Fleet dinner. Since Charley Morgan, designer of the boat “Heritage,” (campaigned for the America’s Cup in 1970), was giving the presentation that night (somewhat intentionally timed), it seemed appropriate to hand out annual awards and get some pictures with the sailing legend! No surprise that “Black Star” was presented “Club Champ” award for winning three of four series in J/24 class. Bob Klement was first in non-spin for the year with “Special K,” and David Krahm was presented “Rookie of the Year,” as the newest member of the J/24 fleet. John Izmirlian was also presented the “BYC Seafarer Award” for his statewide campaign of “Sidewalk Express.” Boat owners were presented with Unique Beer Can trophies and medals for their crews! For those of you who would rather watch sailboat racing on TV, the America’s Cup World Series is in full swing! I went to one of the races in Chicago last month and was in awe of the technology behind today’s performance sailing. There are still several qualifying races before the main event in June 2017. Get caught up in the action during the lead up to the oldest competition in professional sports: September 10-11, 2016 Toulon, France; November 18-20, 2016 Fukouka, Japan; and the Final Match for the cup in Bermuda June 17-27, 2017.

NR30211292 •7 Please enjoy this additional article I put together about the America’s Cup from their website and my summer visit to an ACWS race in Chicago. – Tom Grubb The America’s Cup, then and now, in a nutshell... In 1851, Queen Victoria and Prince Albert hosted the first World’s Fair, and they invited the world to come and display their latest technological advancements in a sailing regatta. The New York Yacht Club built a racing yacht and named it “America” to compete in the race. On race day, the race fleet consisted of one American ship and several British ones. The America’s triumph was quite one-sided. “As the schooner, named “America,” passed the royal race committee in first place, Queen Victoria asked one of her attendants to tell her who was in second place. “Your Majesty, there is no second,” came the reply. That phrase, just four words, is still the best description of the America’s Cup, and how it represents the singular pursuit of excellence. They donated the trophy to the New York Yacht Club under a Deed of Gift, which stated that the trophy was to be “a perpetual challenge cup for friendly competition between nations.” The America’s Cup is much different today, but the spirit of the race is unchanged. There are multiple “qualifying races” around the world. The winner of these races will challenge the American boat, Oracle in Bermuda in June 2017. I was able to go to a qualifying event in Chicago and witness the spectacular technology of these boats. Hopefully my pictures do them justice! If you have a chance to watch any of the races, in person or on TV, I highly recommend it! Upcoming Qualifying Races: September 10-11, 2016, Toulon FRA; November 18-20, 2016, Fukouka JPN; and Final Match in Bermuda, June 17-27, 2017. Enjoy the racing! – Tom Wine Tasting Thursday, Sept. 22, 2016 6:30 p.m. start Join us for an eclectic wine tasting!

As I walk around the Club, I keep hearing what are our numbers? What are our numbers? At this moment we have 566 total voting memberships and 583 Total All Members. Closing out the last fiscal year, the Membership Team exceeded their goal for new members and also produced a startling 93% retention. Over the last three years, an average of 81 members has joined the BYC and with only 2 months into the new fiscal year, 11 New Members have joined. That allusive 650 membership cap does look like it is within our grasp for the 20162017 membership year.

We always have some sort of game planned for the potential new members, like BYC Trivia or a Scavenger Hunt, Let’s Make a Deal or a Balloon Pop; you never know what giveaways we will offer at these events. Remember… BYC issues a $100 credit to the sponsoring member should they join at full Initiation. But even if there is no credit given, we are still the best deal around. If you ask your friends what they are paying at the other private clubs, you will be shouting us from the rooftops. If you know of anyone who is interested and cannot attend the mixer, have them stop by the office or call and ask for Jenifer and she will guide a property tour and provide all the information that they need.

This usually results in either a Bylaw amendment patch or a work around. In other cases, when we look to the Bylaws, they are silent and we have to look to state law or just wing it. Given past experience and the patchwork nature of the Bylaws and Rules, we believe it is time to review and restate our Bylaws under the guidance of an attorney. We will look to Florida law concerning NonProfits, IRS constraints, FCYC requirements and yacht club trends in order to update, remove contradictions and re-consider that which is outdated. The outcome will be submitted to membership. We’d like to offer the opportunity to members to participate in the early stages of deciding the priority content and rewording. To this end we have begun to form a Bylaws Committee, which will begin monthly meetings in September. We will expect members to attend monthly and perhaps more frequent meetings, do some research, provide ideas and become familiar with existing documents. Hopefully, members will have some experience with organizations and their documents. If you would be willing to serve, please contact me, Jack Gorman: odyssey5551@gmail.com. – Jack Treasurer’s Announcement The quarterly financial report will no longer be published in our newsletter. This report will be available to membership on the BYC website through the secure login under “Member Central” called Treasurer Quarterly Report. Membership will be informed when this report has been posted by notice in our newsletter, notice on your monthly statement and/or by “e-blast”. The Year End Fiscal Report for June 30, 2016 is now available for membership viewing through Member Central. – Carl Bretko •14 Bridge Club Bradenton Yacht Club - FLAG OFFICERS JANET AMAR Commodore JACK GORMAN Vice Commodore JOHN BROSHEARS Fleet Captain Sail Tim Rocklein Rear Commodore TOM GOLDMAN Fleet Captain Power MARK Berté Past Commodore EVENING BRIDGE If you are interested in playing Bridge join us on Thursday evenings for dinner at 5:30 pm and Bridge at 6:45 pm.

We play “Party Bridge,” which should give you some idea about the degree of seriousness. If the last time you played you were on the verge of getting a degree from college, it will take a couple of sessions to get you up to par on some of the recent improvements to the game. Someone in our group suggested we have a table for newcomers, where they can observe our dedication to having fun. For your information, we start at 11:30, play one round (4 hands), and then have lunch. Following lunch we play three more rounds with three different partners, and then go home. Perfect!
