In case you missed our Face Book post here is the link to our latest unrated flick from our yeoman videographer. What a great way to document the end of the season.

Rick Doerr (Clifton, N.J.), a 2008 Paralympian, with crew Brad Kendall (Tampa, Fla.) and Hugh Freund (South Freeport, Maine) won the Sonar fleet with a 2-1-1-3 scoring line. They won by two points over skipper 2000 Paralympian Paul Callahan (Cape Coral, Fla.) and crew Tom Brown (Castine, Maine) and Bradley Johnson (Pompano Beach, Fla.).

“It was a challenge all weekend,” said Doerr. “The breeze was up and down, and there was a ton of current. I think we did a good job keeping the competition in our sights. We wanted to make a statement that to go through the Trials you have to go through us.”

Congratulation to Hugh and his team!

What a gorgeous night for a Clambake. Enjoy the

2011 Youth Regatta Results-All Classes

The HYC FaceBook Page will also have Photos and Movies so check back often for updates.

As you’ve probably seen and heard, this year’s Youth Regatta was another example of what makes HYC so special. Hosting 91 boats, 117 sailors with their coaches and some parents, we had a small army of volunteers who made it all happen.  Here’s a brief rundown of everyone’s contributions, many of which began in the weeks prior to the Regatta.

• Brenda Collins and Carol Hudson greeted the sailors on Thursday morning with breakfast.
• Denley Poor and Susan McCracken ran the registration table, while Jeb McCarty and Tom Tobey directed   the flow of cars, trucks and boat trailers as the sailors arrived to unload, launch and prepare for the competition.
• Cynthia Selinger and Karen Bikulcius made and delivered bag lunches for everyone.
• With a delayed harbor start, Bob Grout piloted Jack Thomas’s “Dark & Stormy” as the 420/ Laser RC boat put out to the bay with Frank Pizzo and his crew.
• Finn Hadlock and Cliff George handled the 420/ Laser marks; Max Jennings and myself tended the marks for the Optimist course.
• Sarah Kent with help from Claire Henry, directed the Optimist course RC work (60 boats!).
• Peter McCracken, John Lincoln and the Prices’ provided parents and friends with boats to watch the action.
• Meanwhile back at the club, Tim Baker caught up on his summer reading while handling the scoring as the results were called in.
• Beth Ahearn joined Julie Freund, Kristen Bailey, Peg Willauer, Sandi Goolden, Susan Martling, Romey Brown, June Chomyn, Cindy Burroughs and others in serving up a great lasagna dinner for all the competitors after the races on Thursday evening.
• On Thursday night, the Prices’s, Stephanie Paine, Vicki Smith and Pat Phillips hosted sailors from Christmas Cove and Boothbay.
• Mabel Gerquist helped Sue Jennings put on breakfast Friday morning.
• The 420/ Laser Race Committee crew got additional help on Friday from Bob Santomena and Tom & Kevin Schwarm.
• Sue Hadlock hosted a gang of parents and friends spectating on “Tangent” as did the Peter and Weezie on “Big Dog Party”
• Anne & Rob Fuehrer, Cindy & Spencer Drake, June Chomyn, Pat Nash, Pat Phillips and Katie Siemen arrived on the scene with Carter Becker on the “Barge”. Their collective efforts resulted in another fantastic post-race, on-the -water cookout. As I heard one young sailor say to another on Friday morning “….the best darn hamburger you’ll ever have.”

Many thanks to all who helped the sailors haul and pack their boats and gear  – and especially those that cleaned up the Club afterwards. Also, much appreciation to Frank Pizzo and all the Instructors!
I’m sure I’ve overlooked several dozen, my apologies.
Well done !!
Henry

The 2010 HYC Youth Regatta and 420 State of Maine Championship was a great time by all involved and it couldn’t have happened without all the enthusiastic help of all of our members and Sailing  Instructors! With over 100 junior sailors racing over two days in challenging conditions from fog one day to large wind shifts on the second day the team on two lines was able to get off enough races to allow a throw out. Friday was the highlight with racing completed in time to have our famous Barge Barbecue out on the race course.

Here are the results:

Pictures are on the photo link and more will follow as we round them up.

The first HYC Women’s Sailing Program in many years turned out to be a popular and successful event. The four week program held on Monday evenings provided great weather and a few windy evenings to challenge the students in the 420′s. Short lessons were followed by rigging and on the water practice.  The evenings ended with chalk talks, knot tying,  and social time to discuss: “who ever came up with the idea of a hiking stick!?”

Many thanks to all the participants and instructors for making this a fun and productive series.  We hope to see many of you again next year!

I just wanted to write a quick message to thank everyone who participated in the 2010 HYC Regatta.  We had a good breeze for 2/3 of the race and then the rain clouds sucked the wind out of the bay.  We did have to call the race at 4pm with only 5 class A boats finished.  In all we had 19 boats participate and I hope all had a good day regardless of the way the race ended.

Thank you to Bill & Mary Foster, Peter Gerquest, Sandy Dickison, Bill Ginn, Eliza Ginn, Faith Baker, Spencer Drake, Sandi Colburn & the Rices for helping to make this regatta go this year!

Thanks very much,

Stuart MacDonald

2009 Awards presented at the Annual Meeting:

1. Commodore’s Award for Volunteerism –Randy Rice
Given to a member or members who have worked tirelessly in support of club activities and programs. –  5 years of dedicated work and retiring from the Board, Randy had so many projects one day he managed all three, roofs, crush stone, and curbing. I was there to take the pictures(see photos on web site). Randy spent so many nice days shingling the club house and so much more. He organized a wonderful group of club house volunteers this year. Randy has promised to keep contributing after retiring from the Board

2. Heritage Award.  – Sue Hadlock
Awarded to the member, who by good seamanship, an adventurous spirit, a willingness to share knowledge and an abiding love of the sea, has promoted boating in a way that honors the values that Bill Hadlock embodied in his life. – Rob Tasiey covered a number of Sue’s enthusastic trips on the bay, not to mention she “summered over” on her boat this year.  
3. Sportsmanship Award  -Nat Henshaw
Awarded to a member whose enthusiasm for the Club is demonstrated on and off the race course.
We all know Nat is a competitor. This award is not for flying spinnaker’s up side down or starboard tacking Bill Full appropriately, or for picking up so many crew members right off the dock and getting so many members and guest out sailing at the spur of the moment. It’s for all these reasons and Nat’s  “spirit” for sailing that his “crew” more than anyone  else can understand!
4. Offshore Trophy: Cameron Grillo
Awarded to the sailor or sailors with the best offshore race finish and/or who navigate blue water flying the HYC burgee.  - Who has heard of Auckland, NZ. up to Opua and or a sail over to New Caledonia, Vanuatu and, or finally across the Coral Sea to Cairns on to the Great Barrier reef in Australia. horizins were hugely expanded during his three months sailing with Nat and Betsy White. Nat White Stated “Cam is a fine sailor and was a great help aboard BAHATI during some challenging passages! He also learned to do some deep-sea trolling and filleted his first mahi-mahi almost as big and probably as old as he is!! Cam is comfortable up the rig, under the boat and under any sailing conditions. He is not afraid to handle sails in rough conditions and yet he is careful not to take unnecessary risks”. BAHATI and HYC members say cheers all round for Cameron!Cam’s.net/bahatihttp://www.

Life Membership: The Board has nominated and passed the following for Life Membership.

Dick Bowen: was a Board Member for several years, commodore 1979-1981. Dick was involved in areas of the club including a major force behind promoting the interclubs . Dick and his wife as being very involved in the sailing program for many years He was very involved with the building of the present clubhouse after the old shack was washed out. Back when he was racing his Ensign “Railroad”. His enthusiasm for the Club and his sportsmanship, on and off the water, has always been notable. I believe he is very deserving of this honor.

Widgery Thomas: The Thomas Family came to South Freeport in the summer of 1965 in Andiamo towing our turnabout “Snap”. That summer the family lived in the boathouse next to HYC. This started his involvement in all aspects of HYC. Widgery served on the board and was commodore in 1970. Widgery changed from power to sail as his love of sailing grew. Patience, Quickstep, and Cockle came and went. Cockle was his favorite and his only winning boat. He won the Friendship sloop regatta. Widgery shared his love of the Maine coast and sailing with the family spending one and two week cruises every summer.  He took great pleasure in having a good “white knuckle” sail.

The Grub Tub World Championships were held here today on a beautiful, gusty September afternoon. The “Grub Tub”, a wonderful sailing dinghy designed and built by Henry “Grubby” Douglas, has a long history in this harbor and at HYC. This sailing event hasn’t been held for a quite a few years, but thanks to Stuart MacDonald, Cliff George and a few others, a small fleet of six “Tubs” entered the competition. Heidi Bishop, Jeff Whiting, Faith Baker, Henry Bliss, Ben Niles and Tim Baker launched their boats and braved a wild, gusty breeze generally (using the term mildly) from the Northwest. As most recalled from past GT Worlds, these conditions are the norm. The word “attrition” was heard quite often afterwards as three of the six Tubs had to retire due to multiple dunks in the drink. Regardless, everyone showed their skill and sportsmanship. Thanks to Ross Cudlitz for running the show, Cliff & Laura George and Susie Soule for the cheering section – as well as bailing a lot of water!

Additional notes from the race committee (with additional photos posted):

Great race, congrats to all contestants for braving the NW gales of September.
Six boats started the first race and 5 finished (Whiting first in the drink)
Fifth race three boats started two finished, need I say more (more swimmers and drop outs).
Scoring: Ben Niles:      3/4, 2, 2, 2, 2    =  8.75
Henry Bliss:    3, 3, 3, 3/4, 3/4 = 10.5
Tim Baker:      2, 3/4, 3/4, 4, 4 = 11.5 (two penalty strokes for being out of the fairway).

I wanted to take a picture of Tim trying to right his craft 50 feet from the finish line, however his safety seemed more important at the moment.
Ben Niles learned that grub tubs do not carry any momentum when one tries to round up hard and tack over the finish line, Henry just cruised on by.
Oh by the way Henry, on that general recall you all started in the exact same positions and locations, creatures of habit.
Next year no horns necessary, just Cliff’s cheer leading voice (pom poms and saddle shoes optional).
Lets not forget to remember Grubby Douglass for making this possible.

Our 5 Annual HYC Youth Regatta was a huge success not for just the beautiful weather but the tremendous help and volunteer spirit that drives this event.

This year we hosted over 90 boats and somewhere in the neighborhood of 150 sailors along with coaches and parents, for two days of racing which included the State of Maine 420 Championships. Sailors competed from the following Yacht Clubs: Agamenticus, Boothbay Harbor, Bucks Harbor, Camden, Castine, HYC, Kollegewidgwok, Peaks Island, Portland, Southport and Sunapee (NH).

Under Randy Rice’s leadership several people got involved in upgrading the facilities at HYC last week including Whitney Martin, Mike Welcher, Chris Pope and Anne Niles leading the landscaping crew.  The club now has a new roof, improved parking lot, granite curbs and new landscaping near the porch.  This is what a volunteer club is all about!  Great job everyone!  See more images in the Photo Gallery.

HYC Club Improvements - 2009

As I mentioned at the Opening Party, the HYC Youth Sailing Program Staff, with an eye to safety, would like to have a volunteer Parent or Member on the waterfront during the Recruits and Mates classes each day during both sessions.
This “Volunteer Parent/ Member Program” is an opportunity for Members to contribute to our Program, meet new people and get volunteer credit time.

Primarily, it will provide valuable assistance to the Instructors and Coaches. If a medical and/ or other concern arises ( perhaps when a Participant needs to return to shore), the Parent/ Member on duty can appropriately assist the Participant(s) and Instructor(s). There may be additional responsibilities on a day-to-day basis at the discretion of the Instructors and Coaches.

We encourage all Members to participate; Parents of the Participants are being asked to participate as well. Pair up with another parent or member!

Please contact Mary Martin via email at marymartin@suscom-maine.net or give her a call at (207) 865-0689 and she can tell you what is required and what dates & times are available. Please check the HYC website calendar for the dates of each Session. We really appreciate Mary’s help on this!

Thank you.
