Commodores Report:                   MIKE TAYLOR

Greetings Anacapa Yacht Club: Wow 2013 is really kicking into gear! It seems like a long time back that the 49’ers put up the good fight and came up a little short. The Superbowl party at the club was a big hit with a full room and plenty of sportsmanship (I think that is what you call all the bantering). This year brings a new twist at AYC with Wet Wednesdays starting right after the time change on Sunday March 10th at 2 AM. Based on the current weather it does not look so bad, however since the dredging of the harbor was not completely done we will be challenged with encroaching shoal near the North detached breakwall for the race starts. The alternative is of course to start outside the detached. We have a new committee kicking off this Thursday, March 7 with their 1st meeting. It is the Strategic Planning Committee and the committee chair is Richard Sharpe. They are going to being surveying our membership for everybody’s input about our club. Things that should stay the same, things that should change and defining goals and plans for the future. “For the people by the people” I encourage all members to give this a lot of thought and voice your opinion, concerns and ideas. It has been awhile since our move from across the harbor, we are no longer in survival mode so it would be good to think outside the box about our future. Opening days for all the Ventura County clubs are on April 6th and 7th. Our time is Sunday April 7th at 10 AM. We will be having a club clean-up/polish the brass afternoon - evening on The Friday prior and appreciate everyone’s help. Opening Day is a great time to wear your Blue Blazer with white skirt or pants and show your AYC pride. We expect as usual around 100 attendees and will have the rear patio set-up with a tent and chairs. Attendees include members from other yacht clubs, local government and the marine industry. It is quite impressive to watch the color guard, raising of the flags, national anthem and introductions. Don’t forget our Vice Commodore has to take a drink whenever he mispronounces a name. As always there will be breakfast finger foods, coffee and drinks available. Look forward to seeing all of you on the water or at the club. Remember life is simple, people are what make it complicated. Sail more and keep it simple. Regards, Mike Taylor Commodore

Greetings AYC Sailors and Friends: February was another great month, with lots of good cooking by our club members. February dinners started off with Junior Staff Commodore Bill Brayton cooking his famous meatloaf, followed by Walter Russakoff cooking equally famous Beef Strogonoff. On the 15th Silver Staff Commodore provided us with a delicious fish dinner of cod. The month ended with our general meeting and Doug and Kailn Dodge gave us a mouth watering build your own taco and burrito bar. Thank you everyone for the great meals we are having almost every Friday night. The speaker for February was Todd Downey who gave us a very interesting and informative talk titled “Safety on the Water”. Highlighting the two major racing accidents of last year and how we can avoid them on our own boats.  

     

Friday Chef Schedule is: 3-1 Walker 3-8 Anchor Watch 3-9 Casamassima; this is Saturday and our annual St. Patrick’s Dinner 3-15 Derby 3-22 Chattaway, general meeting with a speaker 3-29 Goodman/Darland Remember to email me your menu to me by the Friday before you cook. Our speakers for the 22th is Jay and Terri Chattaway, talking about their “OSS” Oh S**t Situations and what they learned from it. I am hearing that Jay and Commodore Mike will end the talk with something special. It is a night you will not want to miss. Our Wet Wed. Races are starting March 13th. Wet Wednesday O.D. Schedule: 3-13 Lehman 3-20 McCue 3-27 Cortese/Audgt

Last but the most important is that our Opening Day is coming on April 7th. We will be having an House Keeping Pizza Party on Friday April 5th. Not only are we making our club house look good for all the visiting guest, but we will be having a fun time while we are doing it. In the next week or two we will be sending out updates about Opening Day, plus the food we well be needing. We are the first Opening Day for that day and we will be providing everyone with a great buffet breakfast to start the day with. Have a wonderful month out on the water. Don S. Lehman Vice Commodore

RACING, RACING and more RACING…

Ahoy AYC-ers, The month of March kicks off a mad rush of racing for the club with several races taking place and the start of the Wet Wednesday race series on March 13th that everyone in the harbor looks forward to. This year we are extending the Wet Wednesday race series by 10 races and we will be deeming the first 8 races of the series as warm up races and awarding the high point leaders of each class in the warm up races with a nice trophy to take home. We are also going to be running our famous St. Patrick’s Day Race on March 9th. Pete and Gloria Casamassima are hosting the after race dinner with there famous Corned-Beef & Cabbage main course and all the trimmings. In addition to these races, we will be hosting two TGIS races, one on March 10th #3 and another one on March 17th #4. This is the series that we host with PCYC. The TGIS series is really gaining some ground this year with more participation and we hope to see more boats get involved as we grow and develop this program with our friends at PCYC. I would like to give a big thank you to Bruce and Cynthia Walker for volunteering their beautiful 52’ powerboat, Forever Young, as our committee boat for the St. Patrick’s Day Race.
