So, Where Do We
Go From Here?
BCYC has taken some major steps forward during the last
few years. Thanks to the foresight and efforts of a long line of
commodores, directors and a dedicated membership, we are
a first-rate yacht club with an outstanding facility. We have
earned an excellent reputation as a venue for major yachting
events, including national championships. Our junior sailors
have enjoyed remarkable success in major regattas, and our
adult sailors have also done very well. BCYC is certainly known
as a welcoming, friendly and inclusive club. We have done all
this while at the same time, putting our club in a very strong
place financially. Many friends from other clubs find it hard to
believe that we completed our recent remodel and installed an
elevator with no member assessment.
As I look forward to this year as your commodore, I see our
major goal for the near future being continued membership
growth. The last part of 2015 was a banner period when it
comes to new members, many of whom are already involved
in BCYC’s many activities. This growth will allow our strong
financial position to be even stronger, enabling the club to rely
less on functions such as outside parties and banquets.
The major strength of BCYC is our inclusiveness and
welcoming attitude. It is amazing to me to see how quickly
our membership embraces new members and friends. I have
experienced many yacht clubs in my life and I can tell you that
BCYC is unique in this regard. We should be very proud of
our accomplishments and will continue to warmly welcome all
those new to the club.
As I said at the Annual Meeting in December, I would like
to borrow a theme used by UCI: “Bright Past; Brilliant
Future.”

We Are Family
We are looking forward to an amazing year with our members, new and
old, young and bold!
We had our best year ever for new member families joining BCYC last
year! Thirty six new members are now family. Family is a word used
appropriately here at BCYC. Once you become fully involved in club
activities, you begin to see familiar, friendly faces in the Columbia
Room. When you go on one of our cruises and find even more friends,
it’s like a great big family reunion, except with people you chose to be
part of your family.
Think about the last event you attended – wasn’t it wonderful? If you
haven’t been to anything except Prime Rib night in a while, please get out
that new calendar and sign yourself up for our next event. We will make
it easy for you – just look on the last page of this issue of The Masthead,
pick an event, and then commit to calling the club office to sign up. Oh,
and by the way, bring your sister, brother from another mother, cousin,
neighbor or workout buddy too. You have thought about inviting them
out for something, right? Bring them down to meet the rest of your
family. If you read these articles, please let us know when you see us at
the club – we always enjoy meeting family!

Cruising, Sea
AND Land
Water-Based
Activities/Events
As you’re new vice commodore, I leave my old post with
some regret. As rear commodore, I had the responsibility for
overseeing all in-house and land-based activities. It was such
a special experience to see and witness the dedication of our
staff and member volunteers that make BCYC such a special
place for all of us to enjoy.
My new duties, being responsible for all water-based activities,
bring new challenges and opportunities to meet our members,
whose dedication is to see we all enjoy the on-the-water
activities. I know our Cruise Committee has many special
events planned, both on water and land. By now you have
heard about our March desert cruise excursion to Palm Desert,
just the start to a busy year. Our Race Committee is also busy
hosting the Hot Rum series and the beginning of the Mills
ocean series. BCYC will also be hosting the SCYA-sponsored
Women’s Sailing Convention Feb. 6, an event with more
than 200 attendees who will be learning the fundamentals
of seamanship, as well as improving docking and navigation
skills. Feb. 27 will see the second annual Coastal Safety at
Sea seminar, presented by US Sailing, at the club. If you have
not previously attended, or would like a safety-refresher,
attendance at this seminar is so vital for anyone who spends
time on the water. The ocean is so special, but not a place
where anything can be taken for granted. As an avid sailor
for most of my life I have learned one important lesson – the
ocean is unforgiving.
January/February 2016
Steve and I are excited to be the 2016 Cruise Committee chairs.
We have plans for visiting some of our favorite spots, as well
as introducing some new locations to the schedule. We realize
that not all BCYC members have boats that can accommodate
weekend outings, so we have added two land destinations to
this year’s schedule. A quick look at what we have planned:
March-Desert Land Cruise; April-Avalon; May-Marina del
Rey YC; June-Isthmus; July-JSC Cruise to San Diego; AugustClambake (back at DRYC in Cat Harbor); September-Cambria
Wine Land Cruise; and October-Avalon (CIYC).
Our first 2016 cruise, March 4-6, is a desert land cruise to
the Indian Wells-Palm Desert area. We will have a cocktail
party at Vice Commodore Chuck Wert’s home in Indian
Wells on Friday, late afternoon. Saturday morning we offer
a fun golf tournament for our members at Indian Wells
Country Club, and that evening there will be a group dinner
at Castelli’s in Palm Desert. Sunday is on your own. A full
itinerary will be sent to everyone who signs up about a week
or two before the event.
Our monthly meetings will be the second Thursday of each
month at 7 p.m. Please join our fun group and help us plan
the upcoming cruises. We look forward to seeing you all there!
I look forward to 2016, experiencing first-hand the dedication
of our members who make BCYC the success we are today, on
the water and on land.
Thanks, Allan and Bob!

New Beginnings
Holiday Magic
The 2015 holiday season has come and gone in grand BCYC
style. Thank you to all the elves who went above and beyond
in setting up and taking down the holiday magic around the
club. For the second year in a row, BCYC received the Ring
of Lights award for “The Most Beautiful Yacht Club on the
Bay.” A special shout out to Juver Garcia and Mario Nieto,
our amazing maintenance staff, and General Manager Scott
Jones for making our club look spectacular!
BCYC members rang in the New Year in grand fashion at the
New Year’s Eve party and we are still dusting the glitter off
of our cheeks. Chef George Rapicault and the staff prepared,
and served, a scrumptious feast and everyone danced the
night away to Steve Donn and the Heart and Soul Band.
Please join us at the Activities Committee meetings the
second Wednesday of each month at 7:30 p.m. – help us
put on more “magical” events.
Happy 2016! As we dive into the New Year, the BCYC Junior
Board will host several exciting events that we hope you will
all attend.
After much thought, I have finally chosen the theme for this
year’s Bingo fundraiser. Families and guests will enjoy Bingo
under the lights of the Eiffel Tower – please join us at Le
BCYC Bingo, the Parisian-themed Bingo soirée! Delicious
food, super fun entertainment and an exciting raffle are
included, making this an excellent opportunity to spend
a very enjoyable evening with family and friends. Also, all
proceeds from this event will directly benefit the BCYC
Junior Program. I strongly encourage you all to come out
and support our young sailors. My personal goal is to make
this the best Bingo event yet! Le BCYC Bingo will be held
Friday, June 3, 6-9 p.m. There will be lots of laughter and
fierce competition. I hope to see you all there – until then,
Au Revoir!
Sailing – Beautiful
Being out on the water is an amazing feeling, given the
beauty of the ocean and its unending movement, the
colors and the breeze. Having sailed for only about 18
months, I can proudly say that I have made great progress.
I went from absolutely knowing nothing, and no one, to
learning new skills, competing and placing at regattas,
and making so many new friends in this short amount of
time. This process of learning to sail has shown me that
self-motivation, patience and hard work can help me to
achieve my goals both on and off the water.
Being a part of BCYC Junior Sailing programs has provided
so much insight. I’ve learned that wind conditions are
always changing and, especially in CFJs and C420s, it is to
your advantage to make good use of it. The competitiveness
of the sport brings an exciting thrill, as you have to act fast
and adapt to different wind patterns to be at the top of
your fleet. Through sailing I have made so many friends,
enjoyed that there are no gender differences, and you can
be competitive at any age in the sport. My passion for
sailing continues to grow and it has become a huge part
of my life.

Welcome to 2016:
Regatta Recap and
Sailor Drive!
It’s great to be back after a busy holiday season, and I’m
excited for all that the new year has to bring! Despite the
short days and variable weather, we’ve had lots going on in
the sailing world over the past two months.
The SoCal Series is a high school event in which many of
our junior sailors compete on behalf of the Corona Del Mar
High School Sailing Team. The third regatta of the series
was Dec. 12 at Del Rey Yacht Club, with BCYC sailors Kaiya
Bertrand, Cole Hersowitz, Max Mayol, Christian Tabor
and Ryan Tolsma competing. The Holiday Cup took place
at Lido Isle Yacht Club, Dec. 13. Five sailors represented
BCYC, with four reaching the podium! Congratulations
to Thomas Nilsen for winning the 15-boat C2 fleet!
In the C3 fleet, congratulations to Piper Blackband
for taking 1st place, Adam Rosales for 2nd Place
and Cooper Blackband for 4th Place! These were very
impressive results from ALL of our sabot sailors. In the Laser
Standard fleet, Reis Weigand held his own in a competitive
field of some very experienced skippers across all ages.
The Orange Bowl was the final regatta of 2015 and took
place in Miami, Florida, at Coral Reef Yacht Club. On
Christmas morning, as most kids were eating breakfast
and opening presents, BCYC sailors Cameron Wood and
Danielle Ahir boarded their flight across the country for
this nationally attended regatta. The C420 fleet of roughly
80 boats was split into two 40-boat fleets comprising the
January/February 2016
best youth sailors from all over the country. With wind
speeds never below 15 MPH, and blowing over 30 MPH at
times, Cameron and Danielle sailed in 12 challenging races
with very limited coaching and support. Congratulations to
both of them for setting this goal months ago and achieving
what they set out to do! I believe other BCYC sailors will see
what they accomplished and strive to attend next year.
January brought many more opportunities for competitive
junior sailing, both high school and club sailing. We raced in
the Rose Bowl Regatta off Belmont Pier, SoCal #4 in Mission
Bay, the Sabot North Series at San Diego Yacht Club, the CFJ
Shadden Series and the Harold Adams Team Race Classic
also at SDYC, the Midwinter Tune-Up at LIYC and the Perry
#3 at US Sailing Center of Long Beach. Links to results for
these regattas can be found at scyyra.org.
In other BCYC news, the registration page is now live for
our Spring Sailing Program that begins March 18. The
registration page for 2016 Camp Corinthian Summer
Program is also live! Visit bcyc.org to sign up for both
programs, as well as get lots of useful information, such as
dates and other details. My goal for Camp Corinthian this
year is to revitalize the trend-setting Starfish Class for our
youngest group of aspiring sailors (ages 5-7). I need YOUR
help to get the word out and build this program back up!
With the most talented teachers in Southern California,
combined with an endless array of fun activities both in the
classroom and on the water, the more the merrier.
I would like to introduce our 2016 Camp Corinthian
Sailor Drive! If you know a family with children looking
for a fun way to spend the summer, refer them to BCYC for
20% off your own tuition. If you recruit five or more new
families, your 2016 Camp Corinthian tuition will be free!
Please don’t hesitate to ask if you have any questions, and
I’m looking forward to a successful 2016 for BCYC.

Great Start!
The annual Recognition Luncheon honoring all of the
fabulous ‘’Rock Stars” who contribute to the life of BCYC
was a great success! Many thanks to Joan Delaney, who lent
her many talents and chaired this very special luncheon.
We have another fun exciting year planned. Please come join
us, visit with friends, make new friends and enjoy. I hope
to see you at our upcoming events including: Showboat
Luncheon (March 17); Del Mar Race Track (July 21); and the
Antiques Road Show (Nov. 10). Check your club calendar
monthly for dates and times; visit bcyc.org and click on the
Las Commodoras button, or feel free to contact me with
your questions.
On a personal note, I would like to thank Past President Nancy
Bryant for her gracious support, and express my gratitude to
Director and Past President Ginny Lombardi. To my 2016
Board of Directors, I am honored to have each of you on board.
Looking forward to seeing everyone Feb. 18 at the Fashion Show!
Teamwork
BCYC ended 2015 with a flourish, capturing the Ring of
Lights award for the second year in a row. Kari Konapelsky
and Lauri Moffett headed up the team that transformed
the club for the holiday season. Also, Rhonda Tolar, Bill
McNamara and their team won the Christmas Boat Parade
Sweepstakes award, the top prize for boats entered in the
parade. The impressive results were accomplished because
of teamwork.
Upcoming events that you won’t want to miss include:
Super Bowl party, Feb. 7; Valentine’s Day dinner, Feb. 14;
Commodore’s Ball, Feb. 20; and Showboat, March 16-19.
Make plans to be part of these BCYC traditions.
The Coastal Safety at Sea seminar, Feb. 27, 8 a.m.–12:30
p.m., is hosted by BCYC and presented by US Sailing. Topics
(applicable to power and sail boaters) include personal
safety gear, man overboard, emergency communications and
much more. Whether new to boating or a seasoned veteran,
you will come away from this seminar better prepared to
handle an emergency on the water. Reserve your space now
by visiting the club website.
With the lower level renovation and addition of the elevator
project complete, we have an amazing “new” area of the
club that has already gotten a great deal of use. With the
heaters, beautiful lighting, barbecue grills and excellent
sound system, this lower-level patio has become a go-to
space for meetings, birthday celebrations and spur-of-the
moment barbecue feasts. Take advantage – use this easily
accessible space for your next event!

we find anything needing action. Every storm is different,
and as they progress, lines stretch, fray and break. Canvas
tears and sometimes holds water, and your vessel or trailer
becomes a bathtub. Please check your vessels regularly.
Here’s looking forward to a great 2016!
Port Captain

El Nino Ahead
Ahoy and happy 2016 (I know it is already February,
but better late than never!). The marina and dry storage
experienced a lot of movement again in 2015 and I would
like to say welcome to all of you.
As everyone is aware, the forecast is for an El Nino winter
with a lot of storms bringing heavy rain, high tides and
storm surges. BCYC’s marina sits in the harbor entrance
flow, so we do get a strong surge when the storms are here,
especially at high tide.
We are asking every
member with a boat
in the marina and dry
storage to come down
now and check your
vessel’s mooring lines and
canvas. Lines should be a
minimum of 1/2” (I prefer
5/8” or 3/4”), for safety
and ease of handling.
Lines needed are bow and
stern, port and starboard
(unless on a side-tie), and
a minimum of two spring
lines.
All
mooring
lines
should be in excellent
condition, not frayed
and/or weathered, and
a minimum of two extra
lines, easily accessible, should be onboard. This is for your
safety as well as the other boat owners and our docks.
Canvas should be checked now for tears, bad stitching or
loose connections and leaks, before the winds and rain find
them, or you could lose your canvas.
Sail boaters, please tie your halyards off of the mast, to
mitigate noise from beating on the mast in winds. This will
also stop any damage to your mast and rigging.
As port captain, I walk the docks and dry storage areas
regularly and will monitor all vessels as the storms come.

New Year
Improvements
Greetings for the New Year! Since late last year, we’ve
seen substantial usage and benefit of our new marina
restrooms and patio area. There have been several wellattended events recently that were enhanced by the
new barbecue grills. We’ve added new, larger lockers
for member usage and they’ve rented out quickly. The
elevator facilitates ADA compliant access to all levels of
the club, and food and beverage service is easily offered
for all events.
This year, we will look at the house sound system to
identity where improvements can be made. We’ll do the
same with the main floor lighting system to increase the
number of lighting levels for the many different events
hosted at the club. Also, up for consideration, is the
camera/security monitoring system. One suggestion I
received was for one or two cameras showing the channel
and marina area so it can be viewed on the club website.
The House and Grounds Committee meets at 7:30 p.m.
on the third Wednesday of the month. Members are
encouraged to attend and bring suggestions for how we
can improve your experience at our club. You can also
send suggestions to me at lmichaels58@gmail.com.

Safety At Sea
Crab And
Lobster Potting
Last September, a large group of BCYC members chartered
boats to discover the Pacific Northwest. Our boat included
me, Russell Grant, Debbie and Fraser Fisher, and Secretary
Steve and Lauri Moffett. One of the most exciting activities
on our boat was crab potting – we dropped our pots every
night and caught over 80 crabs. A license is required
to catch crab and the crab pots came with the boat.
Regulations stipulate that you can only keep adult male
crabs, so out of the 80
caught we could only
keep five. Important
note: crabs like to eat
fish, not leftover food
from dinner. Former
BCYC
members
Sam and Gail Beller
demonstrated
to
our group how to
humanely kill a crab,
as well as cook them.
Crab potting is exciting and a very fun experience to share
with your family and friends!
Our next challenge was to catch lobster, definitely more
challenging, because lobsters can get out of the hoop nets.
Lobster season opened at 12:01 a.m. Oct. 3. Our group
(me, Russell, Debbie and Fraser) set out for the “midnight
run” along with many other crazy folks trying to catch the
first lobster of the season. By 3 a.m., we had only caught
one very small lobster — not bad for first timers. We all
gave thanks remembering the moment, and returned our
catch to the sea. Lobster pots and licenses are available at
most sporting goods stores and West Marine. You can set
lobster pots near the entrance to Newport Harbor, best
done right after dusk. Just like crabs, lobsters like to eat
stinky, cut-up fish! Our challenge: to catch at least one
legal lobster by the end of lobster season, March 16.
2016 angling events – BCYC anglers wanted! Any members
of BCYC, experienced or not, let’s go out this year and have
an active presence and participate in local fishing events.
If any BCYC members are interested in entering a specific
angler challenge, please send me an email. If you need a
boat, I am offering my 32-foot Everglade to be used as the
BCYC angler boat for 2016.

The Coast Guard cutter tuned in to a faint distress signal
from a sinking pleasure craft. “What is your position?
Repeat, what is your position?” asked the radio operator
aboard the cutter. Finally a faint reply crackled over the
static: “I’m executive vice president of First Global Bank please hurry!”
While funny, the exchange points out the need to know where
you are – your position – at all times. This is particularly
true for sailboat racers, since some races involve starting at
a certain location, going around one or more marks, and
finishing at a different location. Having a GPS on board is
therefore critical to your success…and your safety.
Speaking of safety, as we did at the beginning of 2015, BCYC
will host another Coastal Safety At Sea Seminar, Feb. 27.
This seminar is a “must” for first-mates. Even if you attended
in 2015, plan on attending again...or risk being awarded
the Chanticleer trophy for losing the skipper someplace
between Avalon and Newport Beach.
Rule #1 of the Racing Rules of Sailing dictates that “a boat
or competitor shall give all possible help to any person or
vessel in danger.” Notice the word “any.” Of course, we
would all do the same, but making it a “rule” emphasizes
the importance of safety.
Each year, during Race Committee training, I end the session
with a strong reminder to be safe. Whether motoring to/
from the start line or while at anchor during the race, the
skipper of the Race Committee boat is responsible for the
safety of everyone aboard. The same applies to all boats.
Be safe!
A Note from our Chaplain . . .
“Time is like a river. You cannot touch the
same water twice, because the flow that has
passed will never pass again. Enjoy every
moment of your life.”
