July 2003 - Fishing Bay Yacht Club

July 2003
From the Quarterdeck
As I look out the window the sun is
shining. That makes six days without rain. Maybe a record. Nine
straight weekends of rain, but we
have a lot to be thankful for. We
held almost all planned activities. I
believe someone, whose name I
won't mention, said something to
the effect that the One Design sailors are a little wimpy. They cancelled two races.
The Junior Division got off to a
great start. Over 25 Opti Kids, ages
6-8, parents, and grand parents had
two rainy-wet but great weekends
(June 7-8 and 14-15) on the water
learning to sail. These are very
young kids who basically have
never sailed before. Junior week
was held June 16 through 20 with
over 100 juniors, sailing on Wind
Surfers, Opti’s, Bytes, Lasers,
420’s, Mobjacks and Flying Scot’s.
New this year is Race Team Extended Program. The program is a
big success. We have juniors
signed up for all 420’s, Optis, Lasers and Bytes. Many of our juniors
have stepped up from Opti’s and
Bytes to the 420’s. We have heard
from many parents and the word is,

yes, FBYC does have the best Junior Program on the Bay. We are
very fortunate to have a Junior Division Staff so committed to a high
level of excellence. Special thanks
goes to Ruthanna Jenkins and her
Staff, Kelly O’toole, Melanie Crittenden, Noel Clinard, Jan Monnier,
coaches-Melanie Clore, Shawn
Fisher, Dan Herlihy and all the
other volunteers who gave their
time and energy to making this a
successful program. Don’t forget to
come out and support the junior
away races this year. Melanie Crittenden and Ruthanna have all under
control but can always use help If
you can to volunteer, call them.
The FBYC facilities are first class
and we continue to get letters and
calls from visiting sailors on what
great facilities we have and the hospitality of FBYC. During junior
week the Corinthian Yacht Club
from Philadelphia rafted up at the
club, had a catered dinner and all
had a great time. Our facilities can
handle large diverse groups and not
be over-crowded; but it all comes
back to what sailing is all about,
whether it is racing, cruising or
teaching juniors—camaraderie
among sailors. I would like to quote
a few sentences that Philip Purrington of Va. Beach said in a letter to
me about his stay in September
2002 and May 31 2003. “Our sail
back to the Corotoman on Sunday
was exciting, windy and for the

The Junior Beat Rolls On
David Hazlehurst
Ruthanna Jenkins
Despite the weather, Junior Week
2003 was a fantastic success. Over
100 Juniors participated. Most important now, this year's program is
much more than a one week affair,
and the remaining activities are
open to all FBYC Juniors, whether
or not they were able to participate
in Junior Week. In fact, if there's
space, any Junior is welcome to
bring a friend to one of the remaining events. Just call Melanie or
Ruthanna to check on space and
reserve a spot.
Take a look at the calendar on page
7 and pick as many events as you
can make. Note that there are
events each day of the week at the
same times each week.
Mondays are for one-on-one coaching. Schedule some personal time
with a coach to work on any aspect
of sailing. For example, some juniors have mastered the spinnaker
this way already.
Tuesday is travel day. Everyone
interested should call. There is of(Continued on page 6)

recently inspected 10 boats at the club,
including Mr. Roberts, and found them
all to be seaworthy. All scheduled Offshore Spring Series races have taken
place but two of the four scheduled
One-Design Spring Series races were
canceled. Eight FBYC boats are expected to race in the Black Seal Cup
Regatta in Hampton. The team-racing
concept is gathering momentum and
RRYC will come to FBYC the end of
June for the first team-racing event.
Volunteers who would like to help in
this year’s Stingray Point Regatta
should contact Mike Karn.
ONE-DESIGN DIVISION – Two
Spring Series races out of four were
sailed, with a total of 27 boats participating. Upcoming one-design scheduled events are the team races with
RRYC and the July 4th race.
CRUISING DIVISION – Eighteen
boats have participated in the first three
cruising events and have sailed approximately 971 total miles. Eleven
boats have signed up for the 2-week
Northern Bay cruise.
JUNIOR DIVISION – The Junior
coaches are working on ideas to get the
Juniors back to the club to sail/race
following Junior Week for the remainder of the summer. Kenneth Andreasen
gave an excellent seminar on June 7-8
and the seminar was especially beneficial for the coaches who attended.
There were 26 participants in OptiKids
and approximately 92 enrolled for Junior Week, not including the CIT’s.

On page 7 of this Log is a calendar
which our two coaches have prepared. This shows when the
coaches are available for teaching
at the club, and regattas scheduled
away from Fishing Bay.
There are also blocks that show
where there are opportunities for
Free Sailing.
During these times any club member is encouraged to use any of our
club boats. Access to the Junior
storage shed requires only punching
in the combination shown on your
membership card. And check-out
procedures are posted inside the
shed. Hopefully, adults who want to
sail will use this opportunity. To
encourage this activity we will arrange for an after sail cookout, or
perhaps revert to the local staple,
lasagna. All you have to do to join
in this activity is show up at the
club no later than 2.30 PM, and be
off the water before dusk.

progress made on the possible acquisition of land at the Stull property. He appointed an ad-hoc committee of Waddy Garrett, Strother
Scott, and Bev Crump to work with
the Flag Officers to develop the
opportunity and represent the club.
Strother Scott reported the details of
the opportunity to buy a portion of
the land from the group who has
placed a contract on the property
and the implications on the future
of the club. After much positive
discussion, Strother was instructed
by the Board to work with Allan
Heyward on a letter of intent to buy
2.5+ acres, all subject to Board approval and a permitted use as a
yacht club, and to report back to the
Flag Officers.
There being no additional business, the meeting was adjourned at

take off early to sail to the East
River, where we'll anchor overnight. On Sunday morning we'll
visit Zimmermans Marine
and cruise by many beautiful homes
and a tidal mill; then sail to Ware
River, where we'll have a catered
dinner at the yacht club, anchoring
overnight. Monday, July 21, we
head up the North River and will

Please mark your calendar and plan
to participate in this annual, casual,
fun race for the less-intense sailing
enthusiasts. As always, your boat’s
rating will be adjusted to reflect
your decision to tow your dinghy,
have an air-conditioner, bring the
kids along, sail with 10 year old
sails and other perceived handicaps. Our race coordinator, Chip
Hall, will compute starting times
based on these adjusted ratings and
the selected race course and will
stagger the start in an effort to have
all boats finish in a dead heat. The
slower you are, the bigger head
start you will get!
After the race, please plan to join
us for refreshments, awards, and a
“Cheeseburger in
Paradise” dinner at
the
Clubhouse.
Jimmy Buffet has
been invited to sing
a few of his favorites, but, unfortunately we are not
able to confirm his
appearance at press
time. We’ll keep
you posted! The cost will be $7.50
per adult and $5 for children (with
or without JB).

most part wet. Several times during
the day our conversation revolved
around the marvelous way in which
we were greeted at your club. It
brought home to us one of the joys
of yachting, and that is the camaraderie we share with other yachtsmen. Not all boaters are yachtsmen,
but you and your members seem to
have written the book. Please pass
on our thanks for your help last
September and thanks for all of
your wonderful hospitality this past
May. Your reputation on and off
the water is well deserved.”

Spring Blow-Out Sail at FBYC
Lori Moyer
One-Design Division Commander
Mother Nature threw a bit more
than all those rainy days at us this
Spring.
Spring Series 1 was held on a beautiful Sunday allowing the Frontrunners, Flying Scots, 420’s and Lasers
to open the season just as they had
hoped with 4 great races. Day two
found the one design racers huddled
in the clubhouse enjoying a pancake breakfast as thunderstorms
deposited rain and a few bolts of
lightning. Ugly rain and high winds
also forced the cancellation of races
on Spring Series day three.
Finally, the fleets made it back on
the water after a one hour postponement on the final scheduled day of
the series and enjoyed most of two
good races before gusts in the 20’s
dumped a few 420’s, Lasers, Flying
Scots and Frontrunners. After one
stray boat drifted to the FBYC dock
on its side and a few rescues were
performed by the volunteer chase
boats and some fellow sailors, we
called it a day. Congratulations to
the top finishers in each fleet, Strother Scott in 420, John Beery in Flying Scot, Joe Williams in Front
Runner and Brad Squires in Laser.
While the Spring Series racing was
somewhat scattered, it was exciting
and the One–Design Division has
plenty of events lined up to make up
for those missed days. There is the
annual Fourth of July Long Distance Race followed by a cookout.
Summer Seabreeze Races are
scheduled for July 5th and 26th. The
second Team Race vs. Rappahannock Yacht Club will be held on
July 27 at RYC. All of this leads
up to our main event, the Annual
One Design Regatta on August 6-7
featuring over one hundred boats in
10 fleets over 3 courses. So don’t
miss out, and I look forward to seeing you on the water!

Amusing Historical Anecdotes...
FBYC Believe It...Or Not!
Jere Dennison
• In spite of dedicating their ‘new’ clubhouse on Fishing Bay in 1949, FBYC members suffered for
ten long miserable years with frigid showers until a hot water system was finally and mercifully installed!
Chuck Raynor, Logstreamer at the time, published this exciting announcement in the Spring, 1959 issue
of the Log:
A couple of years back when I first had the pleasure of coming to Fishing Bay, mention was made of hot
water for showers. Being a new member I hadn’t felt it politic to mention this subject, so I have remained
in the dark on the status of the fabled warm waters. Now, however, it is my honor to be able to announce
that money had been appropriated, a heater is being purchased, and soon the magnificent thing may come
to be.
Believe it...or not!
• In 1961, two FBYC clubmembers with two other crew were shipwrecked for nearly two days on an
uninhabited island in the Chesapeake Bay when their sailboat was damaged and grounded during a
fierce Autumn storm!
The October 17, 1961 Richmond News Leader reported on the incident in an article titled “Local Men
Describe Bay Experience.” The FBYC members were Byrd W. Davenport and William H. King. The
other two victims were Hugo Stevens and St. George Grinnan, Jr. All were from Richmond. The newspaper account is abbreviated below:
The 38-foot ketch the four were on ran aground in a windstorm Saturday night in water three feet deep
and 40 to 50 feet off Watt’s Island, 15 miles south of Crisfield, Md.
“The first night was pretty rough,” King said today. “We were all soaking wet and the temperature got
down to about 40 or perhaps in the high 30’s.”
The boat’s sails, except for the mainsail, which was tied down, blew out in the raging winds that also
churned up the water around the island.
King said the men got practically no sleep Saturday night. Each made several trips through the churning
surf from the ketch to the island carrying gear and supplies from the boat.
They were able to get one of the batteries on the ketch working and call for help on the boat’s radio.
Their plea was heard by the Norfolk marine operator who passed along the message to the Coast Guard.
An 83-foot Coast Guard patrol boat arrived on the scene about midday Sunday, but couldn’t get close
enough to the island to remove them.
By Sunday night, conditions on the island had improved. The men had fashioned a windbreaker out of
tarpaulin and made a fire.
They were picked up by a private cabin cruiser early Monday. All four men survived the ordeal without
ill effects.

FBYC Boat Takes Line Honors in
Annapolis to Newport Race
FBYC’s Larry Cohen, sailing his
Swan 411, took line honors in IMS
Class 1, Annapolis to Newport
Race this June. With a corrected
time of 95hr-59m-37s, Dawn
Treader edged out the second boat
Aurora (Swan 44) by over two
hours.
Commenting on the race, Larry
noted that, “Dawn Treader won
IMS division taking line honors
even though the smallest boat. Finished 2pm on Wednesday. Sailed
under Fishing Bay banner. Chip
Kinsey won Navigator Trophy. He
is from Matthews and a member of
the Matthews Yacht Club. Race
was cold, wet and rough. Many
thunderstorms down the bay with
some gusts over 40. Out in the
ocean had a northeaster all the way
with winds 25-35 rain, fog and
cold. Certainly was a test. Many
boats dropped out.”
Paul Andersen will navigate for me
on the Marblehead Halifax Race
starting July 6. This will be the second of three races we will do for
the Northern Ocean Racing Trophy.”
Congratulations, Larry, to you and
your crew and good luck with the
ning and Intermediate Optis and the
afternoons are dedicated to 420
sailing.

Leukemia Cup Regatta Sails Into Fishing Bay July 11-12
Featuring The 3rd Annual Duck Race
Roy Meyer
On Friday and Saturday, July 11 and 12, the Club again
hosts the 5th Southern Chesapeake Volvo Leukemia Cup
Regatta, presented by SunTrust and co-sponsored by Fishing Bay YC, Stingray Harbor Marina, York River YC and
the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. This event has taken
on special meaning this year since Gary Jobson, the national
chairman of the Leukemia Cup Regatta series and an honorary FBYC
member, was diagnosed with leukemia in mid-April. Gil Miles, heading up
the Leukemia Cup cruising fleet, has dedicated that race in Gary’s honor.
(Believe It Or Not from page 5)
our beloved swimming pool that we take for granted today
was in danger of receiving insufficient support from the
Board for construction to proceed!
Before the pool became a reality, wives and children who were
not participating in our racing programs endured the blistering
summer weekends clustered under the two large shade trees in
front of the clubhouse or dodging stinging nettles around the
pier on Fishing Bay. Generally these ‘shore support teams’
were not happy campers, and there was rebellion brewing
amongst the familial segment of the membership.
In order to encourage the swimming pool project, Nancy Lewis,
wife of Bolling Lewis, composed a delightful poem addressed
to the yacht club Board. Here is her ‘Sailing Widow’s Plea’:
A baby-sitting boat watcher is all I can be,
While my own Bus Mosbacher goes out to sea.
And in between screams that someone’s been stung,
The children yell out that the race has begun.
We start from the pier to get better perception,
But realize the distance creates visual deception.
We can’t tell a Sunfish from Mobjack or Jolly,
The sun in our faces has made it a folly.
To give him a cheer or wave him adieu,
Is all that we beach ‘sitters’ can possibly do.
How many of us girls are in the “on-shore” boat,
Helping our husbands to keep afloat?
By nursing their children and battling the nettles,
We try to keep our family life deserving of medals.
So please! To the Fishing Bay Yacht Club Board,
keep us cool,
By giving the families a swimming pool.

After three rounds of chemotherapy,
Jobson is reported to be in good
spirits and anxious to get back on
the sailing scene.
Regatta Weekend opens with a Welcome Reception sponsored by Mike
Karns/TMS and Silent Auction at
FBYC at 7:00PM, Friday, July 11
and is FREE to members and the
public. The auction will feature a
wide variety of nautical and marine
art and treasures. Several pieces of
art, ranging from paintings and
sculpture to photography and model
boats, will also be available for sale.
Activities begin on Saturday, July
12 at 8:00AM with registration and
a skipper’s breakfast at FBYC.
Races begin at 11:00AM for
CBYRA-sanctioned sailboat races,
including PHRF, spinnaker and nonspinnaker classes, multi-hulls, onedesigns and the Leukemia Cup Fleet
cruising class.
We anticipate over 100 boats but
registration is still open. Fees are
just $100 for fundraising boats, $50
for boats registering for racing honors only. Skippers will receive a tshirt, party/drink ticket and a goodie
bag containing several gifts.
The coveted Leukemia Cup Trophy
will go to the person raising the
most money for the event. An allexpenses paid Caribbean sailing
charter provided by The Moorings
also goes to the leading moneyraiser. Last year’s top fundraisers
included Carolyn Schmalenberger of
Deltaville, Edward “Rip” Radcliffe
of Hartfield and Chip Powell of
Richmond. Overall, the 2002 regatta
raised more than $104,000.
