Racine Yacht Club Commodore’s Report
Racine, Wisconsin
Looking Back at RYC, 1916
As the season approaches quickly, the hustle and bustle at the
Club is tangible. Boats have been launched, Yard and Dock
Day (or some may call it Dock and Yard Day) has come and
gone. Jack Landwehr and Mark Lukow have organized
projects and with a group of hard working members on a cold
spring day, the Club is looking great. There are always
projects to be completed, so talk to either Mark or Jack to see
what still needs to be done.
Challenges always seem to arise from plumbing failures to
refrigerators failing at a clubhouse that is 43 years old. Even
so, our members seem to step up and oversee these projects to
keep the Club running with little interruption to other
members. Special thanks to Charlie Manning, Mike Fox, and
Joe McGauran for overseeing these projects.
Eddie, our caterer, put together a special steak night on
Saturday, May 16th, that was extraordinary. The food was
phenomenal and the dessert was to die for. If you missed it,
look forward to the Prime Rib Night on Saturday, June 13th!
You will not be disappointed. Just make sure you come
hungry. Eddie will be trying to do a special Saturday night
every month, so stay tuned to the e-blasts and notices at
the Club.
I write this as Opening Day approaches. It is with much
excitement that we kick off our hundredth year! The photo on
this page reminds us that in 1916, members really knew how
to support their Club. It is my hope as Commodore that you
find that same love and dedication to continue the success of
Racine Yacht Club as was shown 100 years ago.
If you haven’t seen the new 100th Anniversary apparel, just
talk to Sandi Fox as she continues to bring in outstanding
items to entice even the most discerning customer.
June also brings the start of our racing season. Bob Sample has
put together a full schedule to cater to all our racers. Let’s
hope that the weather cooperates this year. Jim Sittig has
organized the Sails Not Required event again for this year.
This event is scheduled for June 20th. Notices can be found on
our website or at the Club. Scott Lewis and his committee
have been busy getting all set for the 2015 HOOK Race. If you
have not registered, get registered, as this is always a fantastic
event. Cruisers don’t forget that the HOOK has a division just
for you! It will be here sooner than you think.
“Remember, even though the lake is cold, keep your shorts
on, keep positive vibes, and the heat will be on sooner than
you think!”
...And it is always tropical in your mind!
— Gregg Henning, Commodore
Our Open House is scheduled for Saturday, June 6th. Help
Pam Jobson out by bringing plenty of prospective members to

RYC News in Brief
From the May Board meeting minutes:
Treasurer Frank Randall presented the
Treasurer’s report. Frank reported that all
expenses look normal. Bar and Galley Sales
are up from last year at this time. Lease
payment of $8500 contributed to loss for the
month.
Commodore Gregg Henning: no report
Vice Commodore John Stanley reported
that the Food/Beverage Committee met on
Tuesday with Eddie from The Pink
Magnolia. Caterer is aware of several issues;
they are working towards correcting them.
Several problems relating to service issues
go back to lack of training of employees.
This will be corrected. Servers will be
instructed to ask for membership numbers
prior to dining.
Packets for prospective members will be
available at the Club office, the office will
remain LOCKED at all times. The key to the
office will not be given out. Any person
other than a board member needing access
to the office will have to seek out a board
member who has a key.
John reported and led a discussion
regarding the request from Big Brothers/
Big Sisters to have an outing this summer.
Amy Cermak responded that if the Denis
Sullivan contract comes in (it now has - Ed.)
there would be a need for kids to fill spaces
on the ship. John and Amy will work
together on this project.
Office Manager Kim Shortness led a
discussion pertaining to Pull Tab bookkeeping. Discussion was held regarding
cash handling with caterer. Discussion was
held as to the designated agent for the RYC
liquor license.
Rear Commodore Amy Cermak reported
that she has scheduled a US Sailing Level
One course to be held here at RYC on June
15 – 18th. Cappy Capper, the Head Sailing
Coach at the University of Minnesota, will
be the instructor. Emails advertising this
course have been sent to various local yacht
clubs up and down the lake to try and fill
the class. She continues the process of hiring
instructors for this summer’s program.
Membership Secretary Pam Jobson reported
it was suggested that our current list of
inactive members might be a great place to
start recruiting. They will be invited to our
Opening Day and Open House activities.
Discussion about visiting yachtsmen
and reciprocity prompted a motion to
charge a surcharge of 15% to all visitors to
the Club. This motion failed due to the lack
of a second.
NEW MEMBERS: Applications to be
approved (as of the meeting date):

House Director Jim Mc Bain led a
discussion on the condition of our sewer
drains from the bar to the ice room. Jim is
working to find a solution to the current
problems. Meeting was held with Tina and
Eddie. The need for staff training was
discussed. This will be completed soon. A
list of needed items was presented to House
Committee by caterers. A suggestion was
made to create a “registry” to solicit
donations for the items that we need, but
can’t afford.
(Issue #1 following is in the midst of being
resolved)
1. We have a significant issue with the
condensate drains in the ice / beer cooler
and boiler rooms. They essentially are not
working:
a. It is currently believed that the piping
has cracked or collapsed somewhere under
the concrete in the area near the slop sink
(which works fine because it is on a separate
drain line).
b. Drains have been routed out twice,
the leakage from the ice maker has been
placed under control and the drain has been

pumped out several times but the drains are
apparently only slowly draining.
c. The drains are connected since
pumping out the pipe in the boiler room
lowers the water level in the cooler room.
d. A plumber did look at it and said he
would only work on a time & material basis
because the concrete would have to be
removed by hand (minimal cutting
equipment). It becomes quite apparent that
excavation is difficult when you look at the
southern wall in the boiler room and see the
eight pipelines going under the foundation

where you would have to remove the floor
to even find the problem.
e. Replacing the pipe was estimated at
$6,000 +.
f. We are going to take a step back and
evaluate the actual flow vs. drainage and
look into purchasing a low flow condensate
type pump that could discharge into the
slop sink.
2. The group of members involved with
the catering service review met with Pink
Magnolia this past week to cover all issues
raised by members and to prepare for the
busy season coming shortly.
a. Caterer provided a list of equipment
and pricing that should be considered to
replace outdated, damaged or missing
equipment to upgrade the appearance of
our service.
i. Flutes for champagne & mimosas =
$30.75
ii. Pepper mills = $83.37
iii. Wine carafes, also used for juices and
milk during buffets = $109.54
iv. Glass water pitchers = $155.36
v. Serving trays = $148.24
vi. Carving station = $325.85
vii. Chafing stations = $2,104.84 for (4)
viii Juice dispensers = $484.48 for (2)
ix. Group added we needed new trays
for the dishwasher = minimal cost.
b. Discussed training of staff in several
aspects (asking for members numbers, bar
service vs. food service, cleanliness of
kitchen, etc.). Caterer indicated that it is a
work in progress and they are moving
forward.
c. Caterer requested information on how
to manage non-members at the Club.
i. Group indicated all other yacht club
members have reciprocity and are guests.
ii. Other visitors will be allowed to stay
for that evening, given a packet on the Club
to join and informed that RYC is a private
Club and that you must be a member to
receive service in the future. We will need to
get membership packages behind the bar
and the group will request Membership
Director Jobson to provide these.
iii. A set of instructions is needed for the
caterer’s staff regarding visiting boaters
requiring dock space, as most of those
visitors will contact the Club via cell phone.
Group will request that Pier Director Lukow
provide this information.
d. Other discussions involved several
planned events during the summer season
requiring catering, Wednesday night food
service during racing season and working
with Entertainment Director Lasson to
improve overall draw of members and
increasing membership. Essentially we
need to keep the positive lines of
communication open that we have been
seeing.
3. Final comments: Most members have
indicated that they have enjoyed the food
service by Pink Magnolia the past month
and they appear to be satisfying the wide
range of tastes and palates of our
membership.
Pier Director Mark Lukow reported that
it’s starting to look like a yacht club. This
year Andrew Witkowski’s Wanderer took
line honors for first boat in the slip system.
Our launch day commissioning of the
10-minute pier caused only a slight delay to
the launch. Dock & Yard day was cold,
cloudy and windy. We could have used a
few more hearty soles, but those who came
really cranked it out. Remaining tasks
include utility repair, water jetting and light
carpentry.
We’ve sold 48 out of 60 slips. This is
below last year and below budget. We can
rent up to 10 more slips. Unassigned slips at
this writing include 2, 4, 6, 7, 9, (on east
dock) 27, 41, 47, 49, 51, 57 (on the east side of
west dock) and slip 57. We issued one Demit
(Erdmann) and welcomed one new boat.
Kristin and Steve Gancarz are moving their
Paceship PY26 Jenmar up from Great Lakes.
Yard Director Jack Landwehr reported that
launch went very well. Thanks to all that
help with arrangements, planning and
working at launch. Good weather, good
group equaled a SAFE and good time. We
look forward to adding more member boats
to the RYC boat storage program.
Yard and Dock Day was again successful
due to the many members and Sea Scouts
that took time to clean winter off the RYC
grounds. All projects were completed.
Painting projects were placed on hold due
to inclement weather. The children’s swing
set is ready for use. Make sure young
children are supervised by adults when
playing on the RYC beach. The dock box
with the beach toys is missing; and no, it did
not float away.
As we move into warm weather and
increased outdoor activities, Yard Director
remind each member to do his part to keep
RYC grounds clean by using trash cans and
picking up litter on the grounds.
The pavilion trash cans must be emptied
each night by groups using the grills. If the
pavilion trash cans are not emptied each
night, raccoons and skunks will empty the
trash cans on the sidewalk; which leaves a
mess for others to clean up. Please be
mindful that trash cans need emptying each
night by members using the pavilion.
Grass will have a second treatment next
week weather permitting.
Summer yard and dock employees will
begin working within the next couple of
weeks. Please free to ask RYC yard and
dock employees to help walk materials or
supplies into the Clubhouse or out to boats.
Dock and yard employees are never allowed
to board any boat, for any reason.
The flowerpots and anchor garden were
planted by Jan Murin, the east garden
project will be completed by the May
General Membership meeting. Thank you
to Joyce Mc Bain, Dan Reisdorf and Milaeger
Landscape for selecting the plants and
designing the garden layout. Thank you to
all that worked on preparing the garden last
summer and planting the garden this
spring. Without the help of volunteers and
RYC yard employees, the garden project
would not have been completed this spring.
Dry Sail Area boat contracts have been
sent out. Please contact RYC Office or RYC
Yard Director with any questions concerning
Dry Sail Area storage contracts. Boats with
completed contracts can be brought down
to the Dry Sail Area at any time. Use the
same storage space as last year unless
changed by Yard Director. If a boat is in the
wrong storage space, please contact the
Yard Director before moving the offending
boat.

Remembering Carl Tomasek
Submitted by Rachel Tomasek
My father was a child of his time. He was
born into a large family, with five brothers
and a sister, and they lost their father much
too early.
Dad and his brothers were drawn to the
lake, just a few blocks from their home on
St. Clair Street.
As a boy, he and his brothers hung around
the Racine Yacht Club and did odd jobs,
sweeping floors and taking out bottles.
Members of the Club created a “Junior
Division;” they all called him “Carly” and
this is where he learned to sail.
Dad named his two Star-class sailboats,
“Galaxy.” He was an accomplished sailor
during the late 1940s, 50s and 60s. This
type of sail racing is a young man’s sport,
as evidenced in photos of my Dad and his
crewmates hiking off the windward side of
the boat, with Dad’s hand on the tiller and
only their lower legs still inside the cockpit.
When Dad stopped racing, he remained
active in the yacht Club and was very
proud when he was made a Life Member.
The friendships he formed there were
lifelong. When we were at the Club recently,
one of the now-senior “Junior Members”
told us that Dad was a real competitor, and
that any day you beat Carly was a good
day on the water. There aren’t many kids
whose Saturday household chores included
dusting the five shelves-worth of sailing
trophies that didn’t fit in the trophy cabinet
in the den.
My dad was a good problem solver, and it
seemed that he could fix anything. He built
toy chests and sand boxes and play houses
for us when we were young. One year, in
the era of the aluminum Christmas tree, he
brought home one of the small gear motors
he had a hand in manufacturing. He
attached the motor to our silver tree, and
the tree turned round and round and
round. No one was more adept at removing
a sliver of wood from a child’s finger than
“Dr. Dad.” When Louise, Rich and I were
grown, he gave us gifts of time and service:
painting rooms, helping us refinish
woodwork, repairing and refinishing
furniture, working in our gardens, and
transplanting flowers and bulbs from his
yard to ours.
Just about anything he came across could
be useful for another project. It’s been
several years now since he was able to
putter in his basement workshop but even
now when we need to make a repair at
their home, there’s a pretty good chance
that whatever we need will be down there
in a specially labeled drawer or bin. There
are a couple of things that we’re looking for
now, and although we’re very curious as to
where they’re at, I’m certain that once we
find them
Dad’s “storage logic” will make perfect
sense.
My father had a sense of whimsy. Early in
retirement, he went on a quest for more
basement storage space and opened the
half-wall leading into the underside of the
front porch. There he found 50-years’
worth of clinkers from the old coal-burning
furnace; these are the impurities in the coal
that melt together into interesting shapes
and fall to the bottom of the furnace.
Unable to throw them out, he spraypainted them gold, put them in a basket by
their front door and gave them as parting
gifts when people came to their home.
Dad had a great time with his Polaroid
instant camera. I think he enjoyed it
because he could capture spontaneous
images of the things that were important to
him: family members, the progress of his
grape arbor and vegetable garden, the cats
in those strange positions only cats can get
in to, and some really goofy “selfies.”
During his work life, Dad gardened for
relaxation. In the spring and summer, he
would drive home for lunch so he could
spend a few extra minutes “talking” to his
plants. In retirement, he expanded the
garden into an impressive system of
irrigated raised beds that took over almost
half of the back yard. He kept family,
neighbors, friends and the occasional
perfect stranger supplied with tomatoes,
peppers and zucchini squash. He grew
sunflowers simply because they made him
happy.
In retirement my parents enjoyed travelling,
but on their own terms. They would take
off for six-weeks at a time, visiting and
revisiting France, Italy, Germany, Great
Britain, Spain, Australia and New Zealand,
and followed their own itineraries.
Carrying no more than they could manage
in one small suitcase each, they stayed in
youth hostels and remained in one place as
long as it interested them before moving
on. I think this explains why Dad’s favorite
gifts to bring back were key rings with the
names of the cities they’d visited; there
wasn’t room in his bag for anything much
bigger. And if there was a yacht Club in a
city on their itinerary Dad would make
certain he visited it, too.
We grew up in a neighborhood where
people raised their children and then pretty
much stayed put. Neighbors became
friends, wrangling each other’s kids,
engineering solutions for each other’s
home improvement projects when they
were young, and looking out for each other
as they grew older. The men in the
neighborhood spent a lot of time sitting at
Peter Lesczcynski’s picnic table, playing
cribbage with a cold beer and generally
solving the problems of the world. There
was a fence between our yard and Peter’s,
but Dad installed a 6-foot wide gate in the
middle so it was easy to go back and forth.
I’d like to think that on April 20th, Peter,
Kenny, Bud and Joe from the neighborhood
were waiting for Dad, along with his
brothers Frank, John, Joe and Ed, and that
they are all now together again.
Dementia is a cruel, terrible disease. As it
took its toll on his ability to function
independently and his physical health
declined, he had his moments of anger and
frustration but we found that what was
essentially Carl remained. He was happy
to see people. He expressed gratitude freely
to those who helped him. He greeted
everyone with a joke. During a recent
cognition test, he was asked to write a
sentence. His response made his doctor
smile. Dad wrote, “Always look on the
bright side.”
Quoting Tennyson, my father has “crossed
the bar,” leaving the safe harbor of life and
entering the vast unknown of the afterlife.
Friends who have lost parents tell me that
Carl will always be with us, and that we
will know his presence in unexpected
ways. This gives me great comfort. In the
end we know that Carl loved us, and he
knew we loved him, and that is all that
really matters.

COMMUNICATIONS
Gregg received a letter from Mr. Bill Berby
concerning the ship’s wheel trophy that he
donated to the Club for the Ensign Class
back in the 1970’s. Since the Ensign Class
doesn’t operate out of RYC anymore, he
would like to rededicate the trophy to the
winner of the Racine Regatta Star Class. The
Board was in agreement with his request
and Tony Herrmann will head up the
refinishing/updating of the wheel to
preserve the history of the Ron Berby
Memorial Trophy.
