dedication and commitment, Southwestern Yacht Club
might not have had the opportunity to host this
incredible national regatta, and these two, along with
volunteer coordinators Scott and Jennifer Gillen
organized a world class event. To each and every
Southwestern Member, please know that our club and
our members shone like the incredible stars they are. I
had the privilege to participate each and every day,
and to interact with the racers as well as the U.S.
Sailing representatives. Coupled with the numerous
thank you’s I heard on behalf of our Club was the
consistent theme of how warm, generous, and
thoughtful our members are, and how our entire
membership and staff made each participant feel like
Southwestern was their Club away from home. I feel
that for those of us volunteering, we got as much, if
not a little bit more from the opportunity to help with
such a great event, for such inspiring participants.
The Club’s calendar has been chock full of events all
summer. I hope you all had an opportunity to
participate and enjoy some of what the Club had to
offer, including the Angler’s Tuna Tournament, which
closed with the as-always delicious Sage Family Santa
Maria BBQ, the SWYC Pig Roast, chaired by Keith
Robertson, and the Annual Life Member’s Picnic,
chaired by the wonderful and energetic duo of Gini
October looks to be just as busy with some great
events planned. Don’t miss out on the annual Cruise
to Glorietta Bay, our New Members Reception, our
annual Casino Night benefitting our SWYC juniors
and the Lobsterfest Tournament. Now, just to clarify,
the Lobsterfest tournament is where you CATCH the
lobster and win a prize. Not where you sit down
and feast on lobster. Someone who was new to the
event last year shared her confusion with me, so I
thought I would help get that straight. You do,
however, get to feast on the delicious potluck treats
brought by the participants.
One more event not to be missed is the Murder at the
Masquerade murder mystery dinner on October 30.
This event will be chaired by Director Rocky Wilson,
Director Sandy Trimpi and me. Please join us for a
fun evening of entertainment and dining. Costumes are
encouraged, but they aren’t required.
I’d like to recognize the fantastic performance of the
SWYC Team Anglers during the Annual Make-A-Wish
Tuna Challenge 2015 hosted by SGYC. This is an
extremely competitive event and our Anglers took the
High Club Award with Bob and Pat Woodard
bringing in 138.8 points out of the overall team
number of 205.5. What an awesome job by some
Snell and Magaly Caprioglio! We had a great Labor
Day weekend, which wrapped up with the 12th
Annual Intergalactic Sabot Race and BBQ, chaired by
incredible anglers!
As always, I look forward to seeing you all at the Club!

Vice Commodore’s Report
by Vice Commodore Sandra Sherman
slsherman@cox.net
W
here did the summer
go? I hope you had
the opportunity to
enjoy the Club during the last few official weeks of
summer and if you didn’t, take the time now. The Club
has been exploding with a great energy.
One of the events that is close to my heart that I believe
truly brought amazing energy to the Club was the US
Disabled Sailing Championships. The last week of
August we were fortunate enough to once again host the
National Disabled Championship. We had 44 sailors
competing in three classes. These sailors are so
inspirational. They are true athletes who get out on the
water with a spirit that is difficult to describe. These
athletes were competing for the National title with the
hope of putting their name on the Hovey Trophy. In the
end Ryan Porteous and Steve Muse did just that winning
by just a single point ahead of the 2nd place team.
We had sailors attending from all around the country as
well as some locals, with disabilities of all varieties,
ranging from various levels of quadriplegics, amputees
and blind sailors. Additionally this year, the Warrior
Sailing Program joined in the competition. Some of the
vets may not have been “visibly” disabled, but they
suffer from traumatic brain injuries or PTSD. Regardless
of their “disability” every one of these sailors compete at
the highest levels and once on the water are often able
to “forget” about their disability.
We started off the week with a chalk talk led by Betsy
Alison, and a practice race, followed that evening with
the Commodore’s reception on the deck with our own
combo ‘Float’ playing for the crowd. On Friday night we
did not have a formal dinner event, but many of the
participants stayed at the Club because they were
enjoying our hospitality so much. That evening a
member that was not involved entered the bar area and
was overheard saying “wow, I didn’t realize sailing was
such a dangerous sport”. That is a quote I’m sure we all
will be repeating for years to come, but the reality is that
sailing is the grand equalizer. It is one of the few sports
that does not change any of the rules for a disabled
person to compete against an able-bodied sailor.
Based on the feedback of the participants and the
volunteers, the event was a huge success, but it would
not have been without the significant efforts of every
one of the volunteers. There are a few volunteers that I
would be remiss if I did not call them out individually
here. First is my Co-Chair Carolyn Sherman, she
helped in so many ways it would take this entire article
to list them, but most of all she puts up with me every
day. To run a successful disabled sailing regatta requires
at least as many volunteers as there are participants, and
thanks to the efforts of Scott Gillen assisted by his wife
Jennifer, all the volunteers were extremely organized
and looked like they had been doing this type of work
for years. I think Scott got less sleep than I did that
week. At the Awards Banquet one of the participants
spoke and said that Southwestern has set the benchmark
for all other Yacht Clubs in running a disabled event.
She said the coordination getting into and out of the
boats was better organized than she had ever
experienced, but it was the smaller things, like having
cups of ice water down at the dock for the sailors when
they returned to the dock in the hot weather.
The activities began each day with breakfast, then
packing the lunches, coaching, racing, cocktail parties,
ending with dinners. With all these activities there was a
need for significant coordination with Terra and Danny’s
teams. Thanks to Angie Bartosik and her crew of
volunteers for all their support making sure everything
not only was executed perfectly, but within a very tight
budget. Many of the participants brought their service
dogs. Susan Olsen and her team dog-sat in the airconditioning while the sailors were out on the water. I
heard they felt they had the best volunteer job of all.
The on-the-water activities from Race Management to all
the support boats wouldn’t have happened if not for the
efforts of Don Stouder and Rick Pluth. All of these
activities were possible thanks to our sponsors and the

year to enjoy Southwestern Yacht Club.
Please welcome the following new members to
our Club.
Nick and Vanessa Smith have fished and
socialized with their sponsors Todd Mora and
Marcus Hale for a number of years. The
Smiths moved to San Diego 12 years ago to be
able to enjoy the San Diego lifestyle and were
attracted to SWYC after visiting several other
clubs because our Club matched the type of
welcoming atmosphere they enjoy and because
SWYC has a variety of social and philanthropic
events to participate in. Vanessa has participated in and chaired a number of events in the
past which benefitted the YMCA and their
daughter’s schools. She looks forward to
continuing those activities with the Club. Nick
has co-owned his AV Concepts business for 29
years and travels extensively but still manages
300 or so hours of fishing per year. They have
applied for flag membership and look forward
to mooring their Cabo Sportfisher at SWYC.
The Provenchers are new Regular members
of SWYC. I wrote about Marc and Elaine as
Sea Trail participants in my July article. The
soon-to-be empty nesters felt that they now
had the time to enjoy the benefits of belonging
to a yacht club. They had looked at other
clubs in the area and believe that SWYC fit
their interests best. Marc runs his own auto
products wholesaling business and Elaine
stayed at home bringing up their four children.

INSPECTING MARINE GASOLINE ENGINES
Some Simple Tricks to Help You Evaluate Your Engine‘s Condition —
And Head off Trouble Before it Gets Started
PART 3.
Checking Compression
I
f you suspect a problem with one of the cylinders ( a
sudden loss of power or excessive black smoke), a
mechanic should be summoned to do a compression
test, preferably with an Engine Analyzer. This gadget uses
a computer to give a more accurate compression readouts
than can be had with conventional compression tests,
which only indicate gross malfunctions.
Using probes hooked to spark plugs, the machine shorts
out one cylinder at a time to measure the drops in RPM.
The results are computed on a bar graph so that the
mechanic can see exactly which cylinders are weak and
which are strong. (A variation of 20% or more, either from
the other cylinders or from OEM specifications, is
significant.)
"electrochemical degradation" or ECD) that occurs as the
hose ages and tiny cracks form in the rubber. These cracks
then absorb coolant in the freshwater cooling system,
which attacks and weakens the hose's reinforcement.
(Mechanics report seeing the same condition on hoses in
the raw-water portion of the cooling system, especially
when the boat is used in saltwater.)
ECD can be detected by squeezing the thumb and a finger
on the hose about 2" from the clamp. If the ends of the
hose feel soft and mushy, the chances are good that it is
breaking down internally and it should be replaced. The
article recommends checking the middle of the hose, as
well as the ends, to discover differences in softness. Gaps
or channels that can be felt along the length of the hose
also indicate impending failure.
If the analyzer (or a conventional compression test)
indicates a weak cylinder, a simple follow-up test by the
mechanic will indicate whether rings are the problem or
whether the engine has a less serious valve problem: Pour
one tablespoon of oil (any more will hydraulic the cylinder
and give a false reading ) in the cylinder and repeat the
test. If the reading on the weak cylinder is equal to the
reading on the strong cylinders, the problem is rings
(ouch!). If the numbers continue to indicate a weak
cylinder, valves are the problem.
Examining Hoses and Belts
Engine hoses should be checked to see that all are
healthy. A Napa publication on belts and hoses reports
that most engine hoses fail from the inside out as the
result of an electrochemical reaction (called

A Few Suggestions:
•
Keep your engine (and bilge) clean. While this does
little for the engine, per se, a clean engine will be
easier to inspect and maintain which could give you
an early indication of a potential problem. "Heavy" rust
and scale on an engine should be sanded and painted.
The exception is exhaust manifolds, which don't hold
paint and are typically rusted.
•
Spend time reading your engine manual. Rather than
rely on your aging memory, keep careful records of
maintenance and repairs; you'll have an easier time
keeping track of what has been done and when it
was done.

y name is Rob Zanville and I live aboard my
Sun Odyssey 41, Zport. I have been a member
for just about two years and a dockmaster for
about six months.
My boating history started back in the 80’s, lake sailing with
my parents in the Midwest. I learned how to race on an
Impulse 26, and how to cruise on a Tartan 31. It wasn’t until I
moved onto a Macintosh 47 that I learned what it meant to be
a Real Cruiser.
I spent my high school years living abroad with my parents on their Macintosh 47. We took
possession of our yacht in Port Huron, MI and equipped her for long-range cruising. Over the
next five years, we traveled through the Great Lakes, down the Major rivers into the Gulf of
Mexico, through the Bahamas, Virgin Islands, down into the windward islands of the Caribbean
and finally into South America.
I was a member of Lake City Yacht Club in Minnesota as well as the Seven Seas Association. As
a member of LCYC, I participated in everything I could get my hands on, including racing,
helping anywhere I could and in the social activities available to me.
I have served in the United States Air Force for four years, then transferred into the USAFReserves where I am currently in my 10th year total. Thanks to the USAF, I am qualified in First

From Mike Fontaine, chair, Tuna Tournament Aug. 22/23: There were 21 boats
registered and only 10 fish weighed in total. Tough Fishing for most, not like the
past couple weeks. Several of us decided to go outside to 181/182 and 43 to look
for potential bigger fish, but that was a bust. The winners are: Large Boat

Junior: Kajsa Ofield on Anglers Choice 23# yellowfin tuna.
From Gene Geiger, Chair, Marine Life Enhancement Project: On May 18
we received 2,827 fish and on Aug.21 released about 2787 fish. This is
around a 98% survival rate which is excellent, especially with a water
temperature of 73-75. Survival gets much more difficult as the temperature
rises. We are on schedule to get more fish at the end of September to over
winter at least through February. As a side note, in June I went to a
Coastal /California Assoc. meeting with Hubbs/Sea World. In 2014 2360
fish heads were scanned for chips and 222 were from private anglers so it
is important to turn in those heads for scanning. Some of the fish were 1015 years old and found at off shore islands. The program was started in the
mid 70s because white sea bass had been almost fished
out for over 30 years, mostly due to gill netting. Now they
are making a great comeback.

5 August it was a hot and dry day but the ocean
waters were accommodating for the ten
skippers entered in the last Blue Water event for
2015. The 14.3 n.m. contest began at CB 17 with a
long trek out to CB6 for the blue water part of the
contest. Some long legs with two crossings and one
lat/lon brought the skippers back into the harbor with
a starboard turn at Zuniga “Z”, and thence to the finish
buoy CB 16. The first leg of the contest from CB 17 to
CB 11, proved to be the most challenging with the
majority of the skippers running fast. The blue water
currents were more predictable with less than one
percentage point separating the top six finishers.
SWYC’s top finisher was Jim Lonergan aboard Casa
Del Perro Tres with a 1.7288 score, followed by Ed
Denaci steering Grand Isle in to third place finish with
a tally of 2.1560. Ralph Salerno (your scribe) finished
in sixth place aboard Ancora, with a count of 2.6227.
Mike Elovitz brought Lovit in to a seventh place spot
with a 3.6758 error percentage. Mike Fontaine piloted
Tuffy in to a ninth place finish with a score of 6.4335.
The next contest for the year will be Harbor 2/4 on
September 19.
