Tahoe
Yacht Club
Laser Racing
Kicks In To Gear
founded
Exerpt from an article written by Buff Wendt
for the Sierra Sun after Week One:
Race 1 started
with Matt Clark
(below right) accidentally capsizing on
the start line, much to
the amusement of his
competitors. While
Clark was checking
out the clarity of Lake
Tahoe. his competitors were busy putting as much distance
on him as possible.
Dan
Hauserman
(above right) took an
early and dominant lead, with David Adolphs,
Buff Wendt, and Stan Eriksson chasing him.
At the second mark Eriksson had sailed into
second with Adolphs in third. David lost his
main sheet capsizing partially onto Buff, who
managed to escape cleanly and capture second
with Stan in third. “ I tried hard to catch up,
but no one gave me an inch. The level of competition in this fleet allows for no mistakes.”
said Clark finishing an uncharacteristic 8th.
For Race 2, Adolphs won the start with
Clark and Hauserman close behind. Newcomer
to the fleet and collegiate sailor Caroline McNally made an impressive showing in one of
her first times sailing in a Laser. She rounded
the first mark in third, but lost her main sheet,
causing her to fall behind. However, her speed
showed she will be giving everyone a run for
their money in the weeks to come. Showing
his talent on the second leg of this race was
Todd Jackson, who pushed the envelope in
downwind speed coming close to capsizing
several times. Returning to Tahoe from the
East Coast, Dave Mesicek also pushed the top
three in this race and reminded his competitors
that he is a serious threat.
The final race of the night had a good
start with the fleet in a tight pack. Rob Lober
and Jackson mixed it up on the first leg, only
to have a strong puff come in from the left side
of the course and send a pack around in front.
“The talent of this fleet never ceases to
amaze me” said Rear Commodore Stacy Conner, who serves as race committee, but has
personally logged plenty of time in a Laser
herself. “More than half of the people here
compete at a National or World level either
in the Laser or other boats.” Justin Casey,
competitor and Fleet coordinator, handed out

ON THE COVER: “Absolutely superb!” said
Buff Wendt, summing up the opening night of
Laser racing on Lake Tahoe. "With no wind as
we left the harbor, a nice westerly filled in pro‑
viding steady and surprisingly warm breezes
across Lake Forest as nine boats started in the
first of two seven-week series."

awards at Jake’s, the sponsor of the first night.
And that’s how it began this year. We now
have six races behind us with more and more
competitors showing up each week. “By midseason we'll be seeing 25 boats between the A
and B fleets,” said Justin. “The B fleet is for beginning sailors with their own nightly awards.
We’re a social and friendly group of people,
willing to teach others our love for the sport.”
The Tahoe Laser fleet races every Monday
night off of the Lake Forest Boat Ramp with
starts at 6 p.m. sharp. Afterwards, everyone
dines and socializes at the sponsoring restaurant of the night—Jake’s, Garwoods, or Sunnyside. If you are interested in joining, contact
Justin Casey at [email protected] or come down
to the boat ramp (next to the U.S. Coast Guard
station) at 5 p.m. on a Monday night. Racing
will occur every Monday night through the end
of August. The sesason finale—the Kip Lar
Rieu Laser Fleet Championship at Stampede
Reservoir, September 9—includes camping at
the reservoir and is an event not to be missed.

A final note on the sailing side of things: this year we are very
pleased to be hosting the Melges Pacific Coast Championships on the
weekend of July 14-16. We hosted this event two years ago and showed
them such a great time that they are coming back for more.
On the power side, new life is being breathed into our Over-TheBottom events again this year under the able stewardship of Roger
McGee and Tom O’Rourke. If you haven’t participated in our O-T-Bs (as
we call them) you're missing a good deal of TYC fun. These powerboat
rallies involve a bit of skill and a good deal of luck and always end up
with an awards ceremony/party with its own O-T-B daily drink special.
The dates are in the calendar and if you are interested in participating,
contact either Roger or Tom and they can fill you in on the details.
Changing of the Guard
Since this is my last official “Comments from the Commodore”
before our Annual Meeting and election of Flag Officers and Directors
for the coming year on September 2, I would like to let our membership
know how much I have personally enjoyed serving as your Commodore.
It has truly been a privilege for Cynthia and me to meet so many wonderful people and gain an even better understanding of the value of membership in Tahoe Yacht Club. I know Vice Commodore Philip Ballantyne is
primed and ready to take over command and I will be looking forward
to enjoying his stewardship of our Club.
Once again, I think that about does it from the Commodore’s side
of the house and Cynthia and I will look forward to seeing you around
the Club.

From Rear Commodore Stacy Conner,
House Committee Chair
around the
House
Hello again to all Tahoe Yacht Club members! The biggest news from the Clubhouse
would be the change in our staff. Most notably, it was with regret
that Karen Jakobs had
to give us her resignation so soon after joining
our TYC family. She received an incredible job
offer from a company in
her home town of Reno
and could not resist what
Darren Kramer
the difference in comNew Clubhouse
mute time would mean
Manager
to her and her family.
So that left the House Committee and Kelli
Twomey back at "square one" with the busy
summer season upon us!
We had to believe there had to be a silver
lining in our situation and we have found it.
Many of you will remember our Clubhouse Assistant from last year, Darren Kramer. He was
a huge asset to the Club and enjoyed working
with us as well. The House Committee contacted him, he went through the interview process, and I am happy to announce that Darren
is our new Clubhouse Manager. After training
under the tireless tutelage of Kelli Twomey, he
assumed his full time responsibilities July 7.
As you will see from the calendar there is
hardly an empty spot. We offer an activity for
every age and interest at the TYC. For those
that prefer the wind in your sails we have races
on Monday, Wednesday and many weekends.
If you are interested in participating, check the
web site and follow the links starting at “Under Sail” and sign up on the “Bulletin Board”
if you'd like to crew. If you prefer the more
mechanically-powered transportation, try your
hand at the Over-The-Bottoms.
Either way, come by the Club and use the
five moorings available for our members (on a
first come first serve basis). Identify yourself
as a TYC member at the TC Marina dock and
they will direct you to an open mooring. The
Marina can be contacted by phone at (530)
583-1039 or on marine radio channel 78. Dock
hours are 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. thru August. Don't
forget we also have many opportunities for the
land lubbers amongst us please join us for our
hiking and tennis socials.
Preparing for Wooden Boat Week has our
Kellis at a trot with many of the social events
either filled or close to it! If you have any last
minute plans for WBW, please contact Kelli
Gintel a.s.a.p. at (530) 581-4700, ext. 103.
A Tahoe summer at the Club just never
disappoints and we hope to see you soon enjoying all we have to offer.
Your family will thank you.

Reaching out to new members
Welcome to summer at your Tahoe Yacht
Club and at Lake Tahoe from the Membership
Committee. After a marvelous snowfall
we’re now able to savor the clear crisp water
of the lake and enjoy those boats that have
been safely stored during the winter months.
We hope to see you soon at TYC as summer
rolls along, checking out the “Boatique” for
new jackets and t-shirts, enjoying some time
relaxing, or bringing in a friend or two that
might eventually become new members. With
the beautiful view of the Lake that TYC offers,
it’s no wonder we’re the best location in the
north Tahoe area.
During summer there is no shortage of
activities at your Club. If you didn’t make it to
the Gin Fizz Fling during Memorial weekend
or the fun of the July Family Picnic come join
in the Over-The-Bottoms, the Commodores'
Cruise to Emerald Bay, the events of Wooden
Boat Week, the August wine-tasting and
events to come. TYC’s web site is always up
and running and you can check out the live
web cam and see what the weather is like. The
calendar of events is listed so you will be able
to see what’s happening throughout the year,
especially during this busy summer season.
As Membership chair I’m glad to report
that our membership is healthy and very
active. We continue to reach out to members
of the nearby community as well as encourage
all of you to help promote our historic and
beautiful club by sponsoring new members.
You can help by introducing
your friends and family to TYC
and bring them in next time
you’re planning a trip to the
Club. TYC members are the best
ambassadors to spread the word
on how great belonging to this
historic Club can be and it’s by
sponsoring a new member that
TYC stays vibrant. Remember

other young family members

From Business Manager Kelli Twomey
Hello from the Clubhouse. We hope we see you soon and often this
summer. The weather is perfect, the Lake is full and the activities are
endless!
Welcome back, Darren!
Darren Kramer, who worked for us last summer at the front desk
and on the water, joined us full-time on July 7 as our new Clubhouse
Manager. Darren will be overseeing the daily operation of the bar and
Clubhouse and is on site full time, year-round. He is the main person to

TYC Mooring policy
Once again, TYC has secured five moorings­—available on a first
come first serve basis­—in the Tahoe City Marina for use by our members. Pull up to the Marina staff on the pier, identify yourself as a TYC
member and they will direct you to an available mooring. Once you
are tied up, they will provide valet service to and from the pier. (Valet
service is not 24 hours so be sure to ask what time the service ends that
evening if you are going out to dinner in town.)
Boats may not be left overnight unless arrangements have been
made with Club Manager Darren Kramer (581-4700, ext. 102).
Next time you’re headed out for a day on the lake or an afternoon
cruise, stop by the Club for a visit. It’s your Club with the staff is ready
to serve you and your guests!

Summer OTB Series kicks off July 22
The 2006 Over-the Bottom series begins on Saturday, July 22, with
the first of the four season's Saturday morning rallies starting from the
Tahoe City Marina. This year’s OTB events will cover both north and
west shores with events starting with registration at 8:30 a.m. and finishing at off the Tahoe City Marina (July 22 and August 26), Garwood’s
Grill & Pier (July 29) and Chamber’s Landing (August 19).
OTBs are open to TYC members in all types of craft—wood,
fiberglass or metal—and do not require excessive speed or equipment. It
has been said that a successful performance in an OTB requires limited
navigational abilities, some boat handling skills and a lot of luck!
Under the leadership of co-chairs Roger McGee and Tom O’Rourke,
15 boats carried more than 60 TYC members, family and guests in one or
more rallies last year. We expect an even larger crowd this summer!
Participants receive instructions—direction, speed, time and/or
distance­—to navigate a preset course. Often these instructions will
provide scenic viewpoints, historical notes and local trivia. There will
be multiple check points along the way where each boat will pick up a
playing card which will be used to form a poker hand at the finish of the
course.
In each event, the first boat will cross the start/finish line promptly
at 9:00 a.m. with additional boats following at two minute intervals.
Please arrive at 8:30 a.m. in order to register. A party, with appropriate libations, and awards follow each events. Overall 2006 OTB Series
Winners will be determined after the final event, based on the best three
of four finishes. The cost to participate is $75 for the series of four events
or $25 per individual OTB. Watch for e-mail announcements or contact
the Club prior to each event for last minute updates.

Chair, Five-Year Planning Committee
20 Slips in the
new Tahoe City Marina
We are delighted to inform you that we have come to a tentative
agreement for the TYC leasehold on 20 slips in the new Phase I expansion of the Tahoe City Marina. These slips are scheduled to be available
immediately upon completion of the marina expansion in 2009.
If everything goes as planned, the Marina will begin accepting
deposits to secure slip assignments this fall. In order to provide a fair and
equitable distribution of these slips among all interested TYC members,
the Board of Directors has approved a limited term lease on each of the
slips and the use of a random lottery process for allocation. If you are
interested in leasing a slip in the Tahoe City Marina through TYC, the
leasehold and procedural details are set forth below.
Leasehold Details
Length: 25 to 50 feet in length, increasing in five-foot increments.
Seasonal Cost: Although fees have not been set, estimates are in
the range of $6,500 for a 25-ft. slip.
Term: One-year lease with two options for one additional year.
Lottery Process
Timing: The lottery for available slips (if any) shall occur annually
and will be held immediately after the Annual Meeting or another date
as approved and announced at least 60 days prior to the drawing. The
lottery will determine lessees for the following year.
Lottery Process: A random lottery will be conducted by disinterested members of the Board of Directors. The lottery will consist of as
many individual lotteries as there are sizes of slips available (i.e. 25', 30',
35', 40', 45' and 50'). The lottery will begin with the smallest available
slip size and continue through the largest. Each member interested in
a slip of the available size will be assigned a number and the numbers
will be drawn at random until each of the available slips in that size is
filled. In the event that a member is unsuccessful in obtaining a slip,
that member may participate in the subsequent lottery for the next larger
available size (if desired).
Participation and Deposits: Each member desiring to participate in the lottery shall indicate the size(s) of desired slip and submit a
deposit check in the amount of [50] percent of the annual lease payment
for the largest of the desired slips.
Requirements and Limitations: Each participant must be a TYC
member in good standing at the time of the initial lottery and subsequent
renewal(s).
Each membership will be entitled to enter the lottery for one slip.
Therefore, members with an existing slip under leasehold will not be
allowed to enter the lottery for an additional slip(s).
No subletting of slips is permitted. All vessels utilizing a TYC
slip must be registered vessels of the club as indicated in the TYC
Membership Directory. In the event that the member decides to sell the
vessel occupying a TYC slip and does not wish to replace it, the slip will
be made available to other members through the lottery process for the
following year.
We will notify the membership as details of the proposed lease and
availability of slips becomes known. Further, notice of a lottery to be
held on the occasion of the next annual meeting (September 2, 2006)
will be given as soon as possible
From Director Andy Wagner,
Wine Events Chair
I n our continuing effort to explore
wines from all corners of the earth, we are
pleased to take you to the other side of the
world for a tasting of wines from the African
continent. Please join us at the Clubhouse on
Friday, Aug. 18, at 5 p.m. to welcome aboard
Erik Ran, Vice President Sales and Marketing
for Golden Kaan USA.
Golden Kaan is a joint venture among
Racke, the fifth generation, family-owned
German wine and spirits giant, and KWV, the
largest South African winery, controlling more
than 30% of the total South African supply of
grapes. Since its launch at VINEXPO 2003,
a biennial weeklong wine extravaganza in
Bordeaux, France, Golden Kaan has attracted
new consumers to the South African wine segment in many international markets.
Golden Kaan started in Europe and
South Africa and became an overnight success exceeding 400,000 cases in annual sales
and growing rapidly. The firm has become
the market leader in every country where they
started within the first three months. In their
short three-year history, Golden Kaan wines
have already been recognized with numerous
awards from major International and U.S.
wine competitions and publications, including three “Best Buys” (Golden Kaan 2004

Wine Spectator.
Mr. Ran will educate TYC members on
the variety, quality and value of wines available from South Africa while presenting six
top quality South African wines for the members to sample: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot,
Shiraz, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, and the
unique South African varietal, Pinotage. Please join us to learn more about these
wines while visiing old friends and meeting
new ones amidst spectacular views of the
Lake. If you plan to attend, we ask that you
contact the Club and bring an appetizer or
other wine accompaniment to share with your
fellow members.
On Saturday, Sept. 23, our winetasting
series at the Club returns to California with
a featuring of Rhone varietals and old vine
zinfandels from Michael~David Vineyards
in the Central Valley
town of Lodi. TYC is
delighted to welcome
David Phillips, owner,
winegrape grower and
sales/marketing head for
Michael~David
Vineyards. David will describe his family’s fifth
generation wine business
and their seven distinct brands of wine including the now famous 7 Deadly Zins, made from
a blend of seven different Lodi based vineyards; the 7 Heavenly Chards, aged in barrels
from seven different French coopers; and, the
viognier formerly thought to be a roussanne
dubbed Incognito. The Incognito line includes
both a white viognier and a red (rouge) blend
of multiple Rhone varietals.
Winemaking in South Africa
South Africa has been producing wines
for more than 350 years, and today ranks as the
seventh largest global wine producer. South
African wines have grown ten fold in the last
decade, having reached 1.1 million cases for
2005, and South Africa is the fastest growing
wine country of origin in the U.S., up 48%
over 2004. South Africa is a leader in innovation, such as developing cold fermentation,
that advances the wine industry worldwide.
The very first vineyard planted coincided
with the arrival in southern Africa of settlers
from Europe. In 1655, three years after his
arrival in Table Bay, Commander Jan van
Riebeeck of the Dutch East-India Company
planted the first vines. In 1659 he wrote,
“Today, praise the Lord, wine was pressed
from Cape grapes for the first time.” Over
the years, the diversity of the local culture
has led to exceptional winemaking — a true
collaboration between indigenous African and
Cape Malay people, Dutch settlers, French
Michael-David
Vineyard Winetasting
Huguenots, Germans, and other pioneers,
There was a time when the thought of
wine from the “Dark Continent” was a strange
concept but now there are now vineyards
all over the African continent. Algeria and
Morocco have been producing wines for decades and modern wine-making has been set up
in places like Zimbabwe and Kenya. However,
it is down south in the Cape where climactic
and topographic conditions simulate those of
the old wine countries, that the continent’s
finest wines are produced. This is the home of
Golden Kaan wines.
The Western Cape has an ideal climate,
dually influenced by the Indian and Atlantic
Oceans, similar to Northern France and the
Napa Valley. From the tip of the African continent, where the two great oceans meet at Cape
Agulhas, to deep in the desert-like Karoo and
the Free State, nearly 60 officially declared
appellations cover more than 100,000 hectares
in South Africa’s wine regions. While white
varietals still represent the majority of Cape
vineyard plantings, the balance has improved
from 15% red in 1990 to about one third
today.
Planning for Fall Events
Plans are being made for a variety of
fall wine events. We're contemplating more
varietal and region specific winetastings along
with the third annual Winetasting Tour, fall
Winemaker’s Dinner, and other exciting ideas
including the possibility of stepping beyond
the wine world for a Scotch whiskey tasting. As always, we would appreciate your
thoughts and any ideas for future events. If you
would like to help organize a future wine event
or have any suggestions, please contact Andy
Wagner at (530) 581-3881, or e-mail ARW@

From Kirk Pumphrey, Wooden Boat Week Chair
Wooden Boat Week—August 3-10, 2006—just around the corner!
Planning the lake tahoe Concours d’Elegance and Wooden Boat
Week, August 3 thru 10, has been the usual whirlwind of activity, a learning experience, and a lot of fun.
The subtle changes to the "menu" this year have been greeted with
a lot of enthusiasm. Our Opening
Night party on Thursday, Aug. 3.
was a quick sellout and is sure to
be a memorable event.
This new venue for Wooden Boat Week is another exciting change that
has been receiving a good reaction.
Moving the Woodie Over-the-Bottom back to Monday was a
change we made to avoid the weekend crowding as much as possible.
This popular event will be catered by
“Men Wielding Fire” and is sure to
be a delicious lunch – well-deserved
after a morning of hard “work” on the
lake!
Check the calendar on page 15

Week activities!
