The 2015 summer season is in full swing, and the past month has been a
wonderful time to reconnect with so many of you since last summer. We also
welcomed a number of our newest members at a recent cocktail reception,
and are thrilled to have them as part of the AYC family!
The next few weeks at AYC are chock full of activities and events for all to
enjoy:
• Our youth sailing and activities kick off their first summer session;
we expect over 90 young sailors and future sailors (aka "the arts and
crafts crowd") for the first four weeks, and 110+ participants for session 2 (if your children/grandchildren want to sign up, contact the Club office for details). The South Jersey
Summer Series and the youth racing schedule are about to commence as well; special sailing events for July include the Poker Regatta and Twilight Sail (all sailors welcome to participate) on Friday, July 17th, and the annual Avalon Cup Regatta on Saturday, July 25th.
• The Women's Auxiliary activities for 2015 are off to a great start, with details about upcoming events and meetings (including the House tour and the Fashion Show) included
in this month's Topsider. MahJong, Bridge, Book Club, and Bunco are also getting under
way - call the Club office for details on how you can be a part of the fun!
• July's social calendar features a variety of family events and entertainment - especially
as we start the month and celebrate the Independence Day weekend. Quizzo (a popular
barroom trivia game) returns on Wednesday, July 1st (and again on Wednesday, July
22nd). On Thursday, July 2nd, bring the family out for an All-American Clambake and
BBQ dinner at the Club; DJ Dan will spin the tunes, and there will be entertainment for
the kids. Dueling Pianos are here on Friday, July 3rd - I believe it may be a sellout! And
don't forget - the Club will be open for lunch on the 4th. This month's deck party features
the return of Blackthorn, Philly's favorite Celtic rock band - always a crowd favorite at
the AYC - on Saturday, July 18th.
As for the dining room and grill room, check out the new "healthy options" on our menu - look
for the AYC burghee next to the item. The popular Thursday wine dinner specials are back
this year, with ballroom dancing lessons being offered on the 30th. Also, we have made some
recent additions to our wine lists, and are looking at some adjustments in drink pricing as well
(in response to member queries). Brian, Chef Peter and his staff, and Jarod and Sean in the bar
are eager to serve and assist with any concerns or special requests you might have.
Saturday - Noon to 10 PM
(Happy Hour Beer Specials
from 12-5 PM)
I've enjoyed seeing so many of you over these early summer weekends, and look forward to
catching up with you and your families as the summer progresses. See you at the Club!
Sunday - Noon to 9 PM
(Happy Hour Beer Specials
from 12-5 PM)

AYC WOMEN’S AUXILIARY
SUNSHINE COMMITTEE
Many of our members remember Mary Fallon who recently
passed away, but for those who never met her: Mary was
the AYC Women’s Auxiliary President in 1980 while her
husband, John, was commodore. Mary was very active in
AYC and in 1994, Mary started the Sunshine Committee
as part of the Auxiliary, a committee which she chaired for
over 21 years. Mary generously used her own funds to send
well wishes to members in need. Many members would
call her to let her know who was in the hospital or who had
recently passed away. Mary would send a card to let them
know that they were remembered by the Women’s Auxiliary
and the AYC. That kind of caring is never forgotten, and
in honor of Mary, Marie Flannigan and Janet Sikora will
carry on her tradition. Members should email Marie at
[email protected] or Janet at [email protected]
if they are aware of members who many need a little AYC
sunshine in their life.

Weekly Regatta Scoring: Up to 3 races will be run for each weekly regatta. Each competitor will receive the number of points
equivalent to that competitor’s finish position in the FLEET for each race (1st place is one point, 2nd place is two points, etc). The results
for the day are calculated by totaling the points received in each race for each competitor. First place for the regatta is assigned to the sailor
with the lowest total points, 2nd place goes to the next lowest total, etc. Depending on the FLEET size, the awards for that day will be will
be broken down by DIVISION. If, for some reason, a sailor is on the water but does not start (DNS) or does not finish (DNF) he/she will
receive points equal to the number of finishing sailors in that FLEET plus 1 for that individual race. This modifies RRS Appendix A.
Perpetual Fleet Champion Awards will be based on the combined over-all standing of the results for each Regatta.
Breaking of Ties: A tie in either daily or season scoring shall be broken as follows: The boat with the greatest number of 1st places wins
the tie. If the tie is still unbroken, then the boat with the greatest number of 2nd places wins the tie, and so on through the placements until
the tie is broken. If the tie remains unbroken, the boat with the better finish in the last race in which they both sailed shall win the tie. (If a
tie still remains unbroken, refer to RRS Appendix A7)
Time Limits: There will be no time limits for the first boat to finish; however, if a race no longer becomes a test of skill, the Race
Committee has the discretion to abandon the race. Boats failing to finish within 20 minutes of the first boat to sail the course and finish, will
be scored Time Limit Expired (TLE) and will receive points equal to the number of finishing sailors in the FLEET plus 1 for that individual
race. This modifies RRS Appendix A.
Additional Seasonal Scoring Considerations: There are no throw outs or byes. If a sailor does not participate in a weekend regatta,
he/she will be scored a Did Not Compete (DNC): points equal the number of sailors registered in that DIVISION (for example Optimist
Gold, not all Optimists) for that day plus 1.
