FROM THE
VICE PRESIDENT...
Kevin Clark
.
Hello all,
As I write this article we have just finished our Coastal Cup, a sailboat race from San
Francisco to Santa Barbara and next weekend will be our Summer Sailstice event at the
club. By the time you read this article they will all be over. And you can look forward to a
July as busy as June. Maintaining these events gives us an excellent status with other
yacht clubs. The Coastal Cup is a standalone race and no other California yacht club has
an event like this. The Summer Sailstice brings people from the yachting community and
some non-yachting curious onlookers to EYC.
Our July is also busy. Our juniors will have a float in the Alameda Independence Day parade, go cheer them on. Also we will have the 2nd Half Opener which starts the second half
of the sailboat racing season along with a great party afterward.
On a financial note, we are limited on our non-member income because of our non-profit
status. I was assigned to make some studies to try to change these limits. Below is a summary of 2 studies.
A study was completed about the profit/ non-profit status of the club. We studied a
change from a Non-Profit 501(C)(7), which is what we are, to a for profit entity. To set this
change up we would need to start up another corporation. All ownership and licenses
would have to be changed to the new entity. There were some advantages, less scrutiny
from government, income unlimited, no restrictions on type of memberships and unlimited
investments. The disadvantage was cost of transition; change of property title would increase taxes, insurance changes, legal problem with non–members, mortgage rewritten. A
problem also with this change could be the actions of future Board of Directors.
A 2nd study was made to develop a separate Corporation or LLC as an event company. Cost
of starting up this entity and additional staffing were considered. The income for this entity would come from renting out the club and catering. This is a viable company but it was
determined that it would not be in the best interests of the club or its members to pursue
this action.
Thank You,
Kevin Clark

FROM THE BRIDGE...
Vice Commodore Michael Andrews and Rear Commodore Susan Jacquelin
From Vice Commodore Michael Andrews:
2012 Coastal Cup
The offshore tragedies of earlier this season
involving Low Speed Chase and Aegean made
me very anxious about the success of our 21st
consecutive Coastal Cup. In my opinion, a
significant proportion of the prestige that Encinal Yacht Club enjoys as a serious racing
club is derived from our running of the
Coastal Cup each year. I am pleased therefore
that 28 boats registered for the 2012 Race, up
from the 19 of 2011. I am a little perplexed
however that only 18 boats started the Race,
just two more than did last year. The 10 boats
that registered and did not start, failed to do
so for a variety of reasons. Some very legitimate, including a serious illness in the family,
Steve Waterloo, 1st in Division and 2nd overall, also
an engine that failed during delivery from
Milano Trophy Winner for First EYC boat
Southern California and damage to a rudder
shortly before the race that couldn't be addressed in time. Still these numbers represent a disappointing differential between boats initially
registered and boats starting the race.
The Race returned to Santa Barbara this year and the 18 boats that did start ranged in size
from Jim Gibbs' Express 27, Moonlight to Brack Duker's Santa Cruz 70, Holua. Starters also
included one double handed entry, Marc Sykes J 35, Pegasus. 14 boats finished with Holua
winning the lowest rated division "A" and also recorded both the fastest elapsed and corrected
times to take line honors and the overall win. Ed Sanford's J 105, Creative won division "C" and
our own Steve Waterloo's Cal 40, Shaman took division "D". Shaman was an impressive second
overall with members Kevin Clark and Larry Duke among those aboard.
The fleet enjoyed the usual variety of conditions the Coastal Cup is known for from "gear busting" winds reported to have exceeded 35 knots at times to the light air common in the Santa
Barbara channel. Of the four boats that withdrew, the Catalina 36, Seabiscuit retired at Monterey with damage to her mainsail and the Class 40, California Condor retired to Morro Bay with
damage to one of her two rudders. I am proud of the fleet and their demonstration of the exercise (of) good judgment and seamanship; together we satisfied the United States Coast Guard
that the participants are competent, capable and should continue to be permitted to race offshore.
Our friends at the beautiful Santa Barbara Yacht Club deserve and have my great appreciation

for their hospitality. SBYC General Manager, Craig Wilberg was most gracious in our correspondence. Upon our arrival Thursday night, SBYC Race Director, Brad Schaupeter handed over the
keys to his ideally located office which we proceeded to "occupy" for several days. Their Executive
Assistant, Kourtney Wright made our awards ceremony at SBYC possible, around a large wedding
and their Club's Wilmot Hughes Ladies Race, all three of which took place Saturday. Finally, I am
particularly indebted to Commodore Victor Early, Principal Race Officer Charles Hodgkins, Rear
Commodore Susan Jacquelin and our Web-Master and expert in so many things technical, Don
Ahrens for their invaluable assistance in running the Race. I very literally could not have done it
without them.

From Rear Commodore Susan Jacquelin:
2012 Spring Twilight Series
We held our fifth and final Friday night Spring Twilight race on June 16. This casual, highly successful series drew 25 entries this year, ranging from Tony Pohl’s Farr 40, Twisted, and Don
Ahrens’ Farr 36, Red Cloud, to Paul Mueller’s Mercury 18, Loco 2, and Lee Perry’s Harbor 20,
Obsession. Seasoned skippers and brand new crew members raced ‘around the cans’ in the Estuary from Coast Guard Island to Jack London Square.
We began in April, and conditions ranged from constant, stiff breezes (we got to the Lounge before
dark) to light, fluky air (we got to the Lounge after dark). Sometimes cold, sometimes warm, it
was always fun and that’s what Bay Area racing is all about.

Thirteen of the boats belonged to EYC members, and to entice all racers back to the Club, Commodore Victor Early and Vice Commodore Michael Andrews took action-packed videos all
along the course and had them playing on the bar televisions before most race boats were even
put away in their slips. Fred Fago took his as-always superb still photos, and Webmaster Don
Ahrens posted them on our website the evening of each race. Soundings Editor Nicki PowellFord included the photos in each month’s edition. This year we began giving a first-place prize of
an etched “EYC Race Day Winner” glass to each division—another hit with all competitors, as
were the great sail bags made by Dominic Marchal and awarded as Twilight Series prizes.
Many, many thanks to our excellent Race Committee: Staff Commodore Charles Hodgkins,
Small Boat Fleet Captain Chris Golian, Jon Fowkes, Shelley Bliss, Darrel Powell-Ford, Larry
Westland, Kathryn Hodgkins, Nicki Powell-Ford, Margaret Fago, and Maryann Hinden. Great
job, Team!!
We’ll start our Summer Twilight Series on July 13. This is an excellent series for experienced racers as well as those just beginning. It’s also a great opportunity to join a low-key Race Committee
and learn. For non-racing members, it’s always fun to see the action from the Lounge—our finish
is right off our docks, and you can mingle with the racers afterwards and be greatly entertained by
their ‘sea stories’.

MEMBERSHIP TESTIMONIALS..
May 14, 2012
Renee,
I want to commend you on the fantastic brunch you and your staff put together yesterday. My
family and I enjoyed it very much.
As new members, we made our plans to attend the Mother's Day brunch simply to enjoy the club
dining room and meet some other members. We were not expecting too much in terms of food
quality or variety, just wanted to have some traditional breakfast fare in a nice setting.
We were amazed at the quality and variety of food that your staff produced. Everything was so
beautifully presented and well prepared, it was really a pleasure to sample everything. The french
toast (my long-time breakfast favorite) was wonderful, the eggs beautifully done, and the beef medallions were well-loved at our table. With the friendly service and beautiful harp playing, it was a
great mother's day treat for my wife and my mother.
Please pass on our appreciation to your kitchen and service staff.
Lorenzo Puertas, L.Ac.
We visited the beautiful club today. I am proud of the condition of the club. I am proud of still
belonging. My family came with me today. I sure will come again soon.

CRUISING NEWS...
Corinthian YC. The Cripple Cruise Out
Has JUNE been the BEST weather for an early summer in Northern California or
WHAT?
June 8-10 was no exception as the EYC cruisers crossed the Bay to Tiburon for a weekend at
Corinthian. Why the Cripple Cruise Out you ask? Well the Captains Brunelle are naming this
cruise in honor of Captain Mark's summer on crutches. (I fought the dock and the dock won.) So
although Mark ducked surgery, the doc says "No Weight" on the knee for weeks. No worries, we
left Aldebaran in Alameda and rafted up at the very cozy Tiburon Lodge, a short but speedy 1/4
mile from CYC.
Corinthian is a very desirable destination for sailors
up and down the Bay. This
makes dock space and
berthing commitments an
awkward challenge. The
Rear Commodore and Club
Manager gave the dire expectations of 5-7 boats plus
anyone who wants to stay
on one of the 6 CYC mooring balls. There was a wait
list from the first day of
sign-ups so the Captains B
offered a bottle of wine to
anyone volunteering to
hook up on a ball. Aye Aye
mates, never let anyone say
the EYC cruisers aren't
game for adventure! Captain Kidd not only volunteered Sashay for a ball, he doubled up with the Lynams as guests! Good on you mates! Next up
was our intrepid Cruise Directors themselves - Jim and Jenn Vickers who picked a ball for
Joyride. Don't forget that the Vickers travel with their pair of Schnauzers so the moorings make
the doggy potty runs a little more rugged than a walk down the dock! After this, Steve Katzaroff
decided to move off the wait list and onto a ball to not miss this weekend. Steve has a lifelong
SoCal friend who lots of you have met - John flies up from LA 3-4 times a year to sail VROOM to
our cruise-outs with Steve and the EYC gang. Thanks for coming John! Last, one of our First
Year members Hugh McIntyre & Cecelia Riddell decided they were just as seaworthy as the others and signed up to put their Catalina 309, Encore out on a ball too.
Now, this wasn't our first ride into Corinthian so we knew CYC’s idea of 5-7 boats on the guest
dock was an easy 8. Trouble arose on the last day before the event when a 40' member's race

SOUNDINGS
boat pulled rank for the end section of the guest dock. “Not
to worry” said Rear Commodore Eric. He took his boat out
of the Marina to run a race and gave his slip to one of our
boats. On arrival, Club Manager John quickly assigned every slip, that vacated on short notice, to EYC and by 0900
Saturday, we had inside berthing for all of the mooring ball
volunteers! Put it on the record that the Vickers decided
that the adventure and the view was worth staying out on
the ball instead of rafting up inside. That, my friends, is the
yachting spirit. No complaints, no hesitation, take the
path less travelled. Year after year, the seamanship and
cooperation that EYC cruisers have when we're guests at other clubs NEVER FAILS TO MAKE
US PROUD!
The rest of the fleet who came by sea were Mike Pernitzke and Ina Tabak on Nova with Dave &
Anneka Dury as guests - The Captains B are deeply grateful to Nova's crew for taking on the
dock manager role for us and making sure that all boats were assisted and tied up where they
needed to be to maximize the space we'd been given.
Chuck Hero and Edie Walker came on the Lynda Gail; Carol and Bill Blackburn on Bastante;
Roland and Galen Goff brought their daughter Pam and son-in-law Bob on Jolly Mon (also regular guests at EYC events - good to see them again!); Sam & Christine Benson rode in on the
trusty Turtle and Bill Brown and Joanne Allison rounded out the fleet on Bonne Vie Duex (FYI,
his terrific Catalina 380 is up for sale. Bill is definitely the kind of man to follow behind on a
boat so if you know anyone, this is a yacht you can recommend with full confidence-contact Bill
Brown himself or Dinah at Farrallone). Let us not forget our land yacht cruisers, Charles Hodgkins and Kathryn Munn and Kevin & Liddy Clark who drove in.
Before heading out to dinner, sumptuous appetizers were served on the dock and Captain Karen
thanked the Mooring Ball Volunteers; even though most of them got to the docks, we wanted
them to know that good things come around to those who take one for the team. We had 35 people for dinner (counting our healthy list of drive ins). The always excellent Mexican Restaurant,
Guaymas, hosted us in a private space just above and open to the main dining room which had
a spectacular view of the Bay. A super team of wait staff served us Steak Fajitas, Chicken Tamales, and a special Camarones (shrimp) dish. All came in heaping, steaming platefuls and no one
went home hungry. Just superb! We were treated to a bit of local fame that night. Carlos Santana is apparently a regular at Guaymas and Christine Benson spotted him coming in for dinner
dressed in his signature white hat and in a tie dyed shirt. He dined alone right next to our
group. It was nice to see someone of international fame come in and enjoy his night out without
being interrupted by the other diners.
Sunday was another pure blue sky morning and after a fine dockside breakfast (Sam and Mike
both brought exceptionally delicious homemade fare - Mike's famous homemade sausage and
Sam's outrageous home smoked salmon) fizzes and coffee, we're pretty sure that the fleet all
took the long way home……..As it should be.
Thanks to all,
The Captains B
Mark and Karen Brunelle.

FROM
JUNIOR SAILING DIRECTOR...
Andrew Nelson
Summer is officially here. Our first round of classes kicked off on Monday, June 18th. With over
100 sailors enrolled in our morning and afternoon classes we're off to a strong start. It's still not
too late to sign up for sessions II and III, but they are filling up quickly. We have plenty of returning staff and a few new faces this summer, including two out of town instructors and three rookie
instructors who just earned their US Sailing Level One certification. I'm lucky to be backed by a
great staff this summer, which includes...
Andrew Godfrey: Growing up in our program, Andrew will be a sophomore at San Jose State
University in the fall. He is a Laser sailor by trade, but is trying to start a college sailing team.
Jean Rutledge: Has been coaching for several summers here at EYC, also having grown up in
the program she brings tons of energy and enthusiasm everyday. Our youngest Opti sailors are
always having fun in her class.
Kirsten Rutlege: Jean's little sister Kirsten is also coaching Opti sailing this summer. A junior
next year at UC Santa Cruz, Kirsten is a great mix of patient and goofy. Kirsten is also involved
with ROTC and likes to play volleyball.
Paul Foley: Paul is one of our visiting instructors from the Seattle area this summer. I coached
him when he was younger and now he sails for Western Washington University when he's not
sailing lasers. Paul recently passed his US Sailing Level II course and will be an assistant Race
Team
coach.

Cody Young: Probably our coolest instructor, all the kids, young and old, look up to Cody. He
coaches the Teen Intermediate FJ Class, where his humor and chill demeanor are appreciated by
his pupils.
Alex Delle Cese: Another Teen Intermediate FJ coach, Alex has been in our program since he
was 7 years old. Look for the biggest straw hat and chances are you'll find him under it.
Martin Abade: Martin is our head Opti coach this summer. He's from Argentina and has worked
on the East Coast in summers past. He enjoys kite boarding, skiff sailing, and is also the laser
coach for the Indian national team. We're looking forward to having him around. When not sailing he's busy studying law.

Liz Felando: A senior at UC Berkeley next year, Liz is an active sailor on Cal's team. She is
friends with Megan (Seven) Hayes and is also her regular crew. Liz is originally from San Diego,
where she learned how to sail. She has spent the last couple summers in the Bay Area coaching
at Treasure Island.
Olivia Godfrey: A first year instructor, Olivia will be a senior at Alameda High School next fall.
When she's not coaching Optis, she's busy with her own sailing. A talented 420 skipper and
captain of her high school team, she has a summer of big events lined up.

Ellie Glenn: Ellie is another first year instructor, who also participates on the Race Team and
does High School Sailing. Ellie wants to go into the Naval Academy, and recently just returned
from "boot camp." Even though she loves the color pink, she's probably still tougher than most
of the boys.
Maya Dornbrand-Lo: Just passing her Level One class last week, Maya is Oliva's crew. The two
of them have been a pair in the 420 for the last couple of years. They have a real chance to win
some big local events and take their game to the national stage.
Ted Netland: Ted just got back from a year of study abroad in London. A sailor for Middlebury
he's excited that his university's sailing team will have varsity status next fall when he returns.
The start of summer also means it's regatta season! EYC sailors recently traveled to Richmond
for BAYS #2. The two-day event saw good participation from all Bay Area clubs. Hot temperatures knocked down the breeze a bit, but we still had plenty of wind to get 9 races off on the outside course, and 12 races off for Green Fleet. Guy Raber and Devon Shortridge had a stellar
regatta, finishing 2nd out of the 15 boat fleet. Bennett Helland won the 25 boat Opti Green
Fleet, which had 7 other EYC sailors participating. Drake Hayes with crew Anthony Beron finished 2nd in the two boat FJ fleet against "guys that both had beards and tattoos." The two 13
year-olds managed to beat the bearded boys in a couple races and held their own. Oliva and
Maya will be traveling to Lake Minnetonka in Minnesota this weekend to participate in Ida Lewis, which is US Sailing's youth women's double-handed championship regatta. This will be their
second year sailing the event together and they hope to do well. Wish them all luck as they represent EYC.

ago. I’m also always looking for
good ideas, stories and more pictures to supplement these articles so just let me know!
Here goes with third decade of our Club’s
history:
The third decade for EYC was a period of
continuing change, with some definite ups
and downs. The club began the decade
continuing to build from the resurgence in
the early 1900s. It ended the decade with
a quiet period, with the First World War in
the middle. This decade represented a time of tremendous membership turnover.
The 1912 season was a highlight during this period. The club president and son of a prior
EYC generation of leaders, S. Montgomery Haslett embarked on a membership drive. He
brought in 125 members over a four month period by reducing the initiation fee of $20, to
a meager $5.
Major club alterations were then made in 1913, which improved the club’s amenities with
reconstructed bowling alleys, 20 new bathhouses, a handball court and enlarged ballroom

and lounge. Although useful, the alterations were bulky and added a more boxed appearance to the clubhouse.
There were many parties, dances, bowling and handball tournaments in addition to the
on the water small boat regattas and picnic cruises. The small boats remained the popular fleet; although during the mid-decade the fleet expanded to some larger 20ft boats
(‘Dory’s”) and larger yachts. During this time the club rejoined the PICYA.
The revival ended with the First World War during the war years of 1917-18. Although
the war was good for shipbuilding, it was detrimental to yachting and clubs. Clubs were
to pay a ten percent tax on dues paid. Members were also lost to military duty.
So the decade ended on a quiet note following the war and much change.
Note: This summary is primarily based on “On the Bay” by Woody Minor. Books are
available for sale in the EYC office.
