Welcome NewMembers
Bob Wickman
e care what you wish for! As I write
this, the heavens have opened and
we are receiving a month’s worth of
rain in a weekend. The lake is rising very
fast (maybe too fast), but thankfully, our
predecessors designed our club to handle
most any eventuality. And let's take a look at
all of the good things happening around us
at LCYC. The pool has been resurfaced and
looks great. Our hard-working maintenance
crew under the leadership of Property Manager Josef Scherm and Docks and Grounds
bosses Bruce Dunn and Joe O’Brien have
the grounds and marina looking sharp. The
Corps of Engineers inspector from Fort
Worth was duly impressed.
We have a newly installed electronic
surveillance and security program and better
wireless internet coverage. Our very active
junior sailing program, under the leadership
of Sylvie Mathis, has new equipment and
a new coachboat, and is set for a rigorous
summer teaching and racing season. Our
highly-touted women’s Learn to Sail program
SAIL CANYON LAKE
under Lynn Simpson is underway and will
culminate with the 25th anniversary of our
SEW-MAD Women’s Regatta (which by the
way is named for founders Ruth Madorsky
and Sandra Walker). Lynn, by the way, was
chosen by the U.S. Naval Academy from
about 350 applicants nationwide to teach
Academy faculty how to teach sailing to the
Middies last summer, and then was asked to
return this summer to do so again!!
Our recently named Rear Commodore
for Sail, Randle Moore, is doing a super
job of reorganizing and reinvigorating our
racing program, with special thanks to
those members who are joining in to act as
Principal Race Officers (PROs) and Chase
Boat operators. Meanwhile, Bill McVey
and his assistants are once again organizing
our skippers and crews to make sailing
orientations available to Wounded Warriors
and handicapped civilians and their families.
Meanwhile, off the water, our very active
social programs under the leadership of our
Port Captain, Kathleen Hixon, and Social
Paul & Amy Mazeika��San Antonio, TX
Roger Gunderman �� Pipe Creek, TX
Sailors Chair, Pat Ketchum, are in full swing,
with a variety of parties, festivals, wine tastings,
music, etc. Into this mix we add special events
like our upcoming Dr. Branch Leukemia Cup
Regatta over the 4th of July weekend. Have
you registered a team? Have you donated? See
the Leubners, Kathy and Ray. Last year our
club raised over $33,000. This year our goal
is $40,000!
Lastly, I’ll note that we have had superb
Commodore’s Breakfasts, and as I recall, we
need hosts for July. The club pays for the food.
You get to organize the menu and prepare and
serve. Talk to Kathleen Hixon about this at
830-935-2014.
I hope you got the message here. We are a
vibrant club of doers having a great time. Get
involved, stay involved, and help us continue
to make LCYC one of the premier small yacht
clubs in all of the United States!

D&G had a very busy, as well as productive, month. Our annual marina electrical
inspection was performed and all was well.A broken water pipe in the sprinkler system posed a
challenge but the crew was able to bypass the problem and it turned out well. The electric switch
on the tiki taxi for the windlass was moved to a more convenient location. Josef purchased a
new roto rooter and cleaned out the sewer pipes. No one's favorite job! The ceiling under the
club house by the pool was painted and looks great and fresh. I hope the birds no longer nest
there. The rain gutters on the club house and the deck were also cleaned out. The drinking
water tanks were cleaned, and the brush pile was burned. Many thanks to Keith Zars for the
great job on our pool. It is beautiful and the new turtle is great. Tell him thanks the next time
you see him. Now that we are at full crew, I expect the progress to continue.
As the summer season begins please be extra careful when fueling your boats as no one
wants to spoil our beautiful lake. If you set your fuel can on the dock, please protect it with
towels or cardboard so it doesn't drip in the lake. The rising water has broken two cables that
are going to be fixed as soon as MDI can get a crew here. Bruce

he turnout for Longneck was rather light this year, probably because
of all the thunderstorms that were predicted. Mother Nature was kind
to us multihull sailors though and gave us a near perfect Saturday for
racing. Our PRO, Rodger Poe, and his able assistants Betty Reeh and Kathleen
Acquart set up the course in warm, dry weather with 14 to 18 mile an hour
winds. Four races were run back to back without delay until I managed to throw
a monkey wrench into this fine display of race management. Unbeknownst to
me, my port hull had cracked and was slowly filling with water all day. This
culminated in a textbook downwind pitch pole right on the finish line at the
end of the fourth race. The chase boat crews of Fred Day and Marvin Arnold
in chase two, along with Sasha Acquart, Mike Butler and Ziggy Riedel in chase one, were all
needed to get my water logged boat right side up for the long tow back to LCYC. Since I was
occupying the starting area for quite some time the F18’s were the only ones to get off a fifth
race - sorry guys.
Dinner went smoothly, probably since I was not involved, with Terry Tomko, Joe O’brien,
Penny Monosmith and Brigitta Hill serving up a delicious meal of fajitas, and rice and beans
followed by all sorts of desserts provided by the Multihull Fleet members.
The World Famous Longneck Raffle rounded out the night with a huge number of raffle
items and giveaways. No one goes away empty handed from our raffle.
Unfortunately, Sunday dawned with more thunder storms and we had to call the races and
move on to trophies. Steve Piche and Juke Ball took first in the F18 class, followed by Mike
Rohrer with his daughter Nicole in second. Colin Casey and Joshua took third. The Portsmouth
Fleet was lead by Mike and Janet Hardy on their Hobie 16 followed by Kirk McMullen with
his son Davis in second. Winner in the Hobie 17 Fleet was Drew Riddle, second was Stephen
Acquart followed by his brother Michael Acquart in third. Joe Monosmith, that would be me,
came in fourth. The Trimaran Fleet finished with Charlie Mayer and Craig in first and Larry
Sowle sailing with John in second.

T
he month of May was wonderful
here at LCYC! The rain is filling up
the lake and bringing all of you out
for great sailing and food! The keel boat and
board boat sailors ate well with help from
Jake Mathis. Jake and I had perfect teamwork. I bought the food, and he served it!
Great job Jake! Call me if you want to host
an event. It’s easy and fun to work together.
Jean Junker and his gang did a fabulous
job with the Mother’s Day Commodore’s
Breakfast! They served 60 members his
famous “Cowgirl Quiche”. Jean wants to
thank his “Galley Crew” - Commodore
Bob, Donna Rice, Glenn Miller, Ron Popp,
and Rick Mela. Again, I helped with his
food purchase/decorations, and they put it
all together and served a wonderful breakfast! That’s great crew coordination!
Terry Tomko’s gang utilized the galley
for the Longneck Multihull Regatta sailors.
Great fun!
Sylvie Mathis also served great food for
the Youth Sailing School classes. Sylvie
thanks her crew for helping serve tasty meals
to our next generation of LCYC sailors here
at our clubhouse.
The “Carl Hawkins Annual Fish Fry”
has been postponed until Saturday 5/30.
Serving time: 1 PM. Hope all of you can
still make it! All the food is bought, so
come and get it!
On another note, I saw an article in “The
Commissioner’s Correspondence” from Jen
Crownover in which she stated that in 2014
Comal County recycled close to $130,000
worth of consumables. WOW! You may
wonder where I’m going with this information. As for our family, we do our part here
at home. I hope you do too! So please be
mindful and wash out all plastic, metal or
glass containers/cups after use and place these
items in our “Red Recycle Bins”. Joseph’s
crew keeps one right outside our clubhouse
door. This will also help our trash pickup fees
for LCYC. So let’s start in the galley! Thx!
The RSVP has been working great too.
Thanks to all the gals and guys for your help
in the kitchen too.
Don’t forget to mark your calendar for
the annual Jimmy Buffet Party, and the
Father’s Day Commodore’s Breakfast…
The planning stages are looking great, so
stay tuned!
Enjoy the lake! Kathleen Hixon
Dr.Branch LeukemiaCup Regatta
W
e are just six weeks away from the
2015 Dr. Branch Leukemia Cup
Regatta and are already one quarter
of the way towards this year’s goal of $40,000.
While we were all inspired by Gary Jobson’s
personal account of his battle with lymphoma,
we have many similar stories within the LCYC
family. Team MABL is named after Michael
Allen Banks Lindsey, a lymphoma survivor
since 2008. The Team Edlund page relates the
story of Stephanie Edlund, who contracted
leukemia at age four; she is now a vibrant
thirteen year old seventh grader. Not to be
overlooked are those families who have lost
loved ones to blood cancer. Team Stevie Boy
is raising funds in memory of Stephen Michael
Crane, who passed away in 1975 at age five.
Please consider making a donation today to
one of twelve LCYC teams. Help us help others
in the fight against blood cancers.
The Fundraising Committee is working
hard to attract business sponsors for this
year’s event. We are delighted to welcome
back Cadence Bank, CEMEX, McCracken
& Carroll Wealth Management Group and
Roeschmann Design. Our newest addition
for 2015 is Gotta Ride Bikes of San Antonio.
Last year’s Silent Auction raised almost
$3500 and we are counting on a repeat performance this year. Contact Kathy Leubner if
you have an item, service, event, etc. to donate.
All proceeds go directly to LLS.
Following the race on July 4th the club will
serve barbecue chicken. Members are asked to
Ray & Kathy Leubner
provide sides, salads and desserts. And don’t
forget live music courtesy of Jazz, Blues and
Diamonds!
Trophy presentations will be made Sunday
afternoon following the day's races. In addition
to racing trophies there will be awards for the
teams and individuals that raise the most in
donations for LLS.
The Regatta
Fundraising & Sponsors
This two day regatta will consist of a one day long distance race
on July 4th and traditional buoys racingon Sunday, July 5th.
Trophies will be awarded by class for racing, with another set of
trophies for those who raise the most money for the Leukemia
and Lymphoma Society. NOR and Registration Forms will be
posted to the Leukemia Cup Regatta page of the LCYC website.
Create a fundraising team, complete with your own web page,
in order to raise funds for blood cancer research. Don't have a
boat? Not planning to race? Create a Virtual Team with a group
of friends. Erica Badu at LLS in Austin ([email protected])
will set up any new LCYC team pages this year. Once signed
up, you'll receive a personalized fundraising website and lots of
fundraising resources. You can also earn prizes and incentives
for all your hard fundraising work.
Contact either Ray Leubner or Jake Mathis
with questions pertaining to racing.
We invite local businesses who are passionate about raising funds for
blood cancer cures to participate as a sponsor in this year's event.
A link to Sponsor Packets is posted on the Leukemia Cup page of
the LCYC website.
Leukemia Cup Regatta T-Shirts
Silent Auction
We will once again sell Leukemia
Cup Regatta t-shirts this year.
Please pre-order before June 20th
as only a limited quantity will be
available for sale at the event. Last
year we quickly ran out of all small,
medium and large sizes. The price
per shirt is $20. You may charge
this amount to your club account.
Contact Kathy Leubner or order online using the link on the
Leukemia Cup Regatta page of the LCYC website.
A Silent Auction will be held during the festivities on Saturday, July
4th. We are already off to a great start. Among the items donated
are a paella dinner for ten, a fitness/mountain bike, an Idaho Bear
Hunt, 4 tickets to Brasil Guitar Duo, a two-night stay at Mountain
Shadows (Marfa) and original works of art. If you can contribute an
item, service, tickets to an event, etc. please contact Kathy Leubner.

AdaptiveSailingEvents2015 Bill McVey
W
e had a wonderful day on May 3d
hosting wounded warriors and some
of their family members for our first
Adaptive Sailing outing of the year. Our guests
included Janis Roznowski who founded Operation Comfort some 12 years ago, after having
served on many flights bringing our wounded
warriors home from combat and determining
that she wanted to do something to help in their
recovery. And has she ever!
We had 9 boats and crews lined up for an
anticipated 25 guests but just 15 were able
to attend so we put them on six boats by
families. We had one other honored guest
with us for this outing! Jan and Jon Lockhart
had volunteered to help using their boat and
had invited her father to join them. He is a
WWII vet and has had a wonderful career of
flying both in the service and in commercial
aviation. So Jan, Jon, and her dad sailed on
their boat. The weather was perfect with a
very nice 5-8 mph wind. Everyone had a
chance to helm the boats and trim the sails!
Our guests had a great time and were very
appreciative of the opportunity to learn about
sailing and to enjoy the lunch and afternoon
on the water. Prior to the sail we provided
lunch for all guests and volunteers. Many
thanks to Carolyn Harris, Judy Ritchie,
Mary Lindsey, Janet and Les Robertson, Joe
Thanks very much to everyone who helped
in any way to help make this outing a such a
nice one for our guests.
Our next outing is scheduled for June 6.
Our guests will be coming via the Door-inthe-wall Texas organization in Bandera. Pete
Macler will be hosting this one for LCYC.
Please contact him if you would like to volunteer to help. Pete's email is [email protected].
The schedule for each session is:
11AM �� Orientation to club & sailboats

Women's Learn to Sail Lynn Simpson
T
he class was held on May 14 & 15 and
was attended by two very enthusiastic
women: Heather Davila and Elsa
Graham, who were ready to learn sailing basics.
Day one began with introductions and an
overview of the class. With formalities out of
the way it was time to head the docks for some
hands on learning. We covered boat parts, parts
of a sail, how a sail works and wind awareness.
The next step, was to partially rig the boat, to be
ready for our afternoon sail. With the rigging
almost complete it was time for a much needed
lunch break! The weather held up perfectly
with winds in the 8 - 10 mph range, no threat
of thunderstorms or rain! Before setting sail we
went over the steps for tacking, It was now time
to leave the marina and begin our afternoon
the
of sailing. Elsa was first on the tiller and, did
a fine job of sailing us up to the dam where
we switched out drivers and, Heather had her
time on the tiller. Between the two students
they certainly got in their fair share of tacking,
with each completed tack they became more
comfortable and confident! We saw that clouds
were starting to build and the winds were
becoming stronger. It was time to head back
to the dock. Within minutes of docking the
winds whipped up to about 18 mph, out on
the lake white caps were rolling. We de-rigged
and secured the boat for the evening, all set
for the following day. Heavy rains, gusty winds
and the threat of thunder-storms cancelled
our sailing plans for day two. We did get in a
couple of hours of classroom time and covered:
rules of the road, jibing, points of sail, sail
trim, and knots. Since our sailing time was
cut short, a couple of make-up sail dates were
arranged, they will take place over the next
two weekends! The class went really well and,
was really liked by both Heather and Elsa. The
weekday class will definitely be on the calendar
for next year’s program!

when the yearly LCYC Youth Sailing
School kicks off. This year’s school began on Saturday, May 16th and at the time of
writing this article has one weekend under its
belt. Mother Nature threatened to tighten the
belt, but with a little luck, both days gave us
a reprieve just at the right time for the youth
to experience the joys of sailing, many for the
first time!
The team of LCYC instructors included
myself, Sylvie Mathis, Duane McBride, Lynn
Simpson, Harold Simmons and Rick Mella.

Extra assistance was provided by Bill McVey
and Andy Zinn. Together, we introduced
sailing topics and theory to a group of about
two dozen students. All that learning can really
work up an appetite, so extra thanks go out
to Maureen Simmons for coordinating all
the meals to feed those hungry sailors and
volunteers.
This year’s group of youth sailors are
fortunate to have some past “graduates” of
the sailing school assisting as youth volunteers.
Special thanks to Eli, Shaun, Britt, Katrina,
Zach, Teagan and Donovan for setting a
great example of how much fun sailing can
be. Hopefully some future LCYC instructors
in the making!
The learning possibilities don’t end when the
sailing school completes. There are plenty of
other opportunities throughout the summer
for the youth to get involved in sailing at
LCYC. So if anyone has or knows of any youth
that may be interested, please don’t hesitate to
introduce them to the Junior Sailing page of
the LCYC website.
2015RACE Program
MoonShineRegatta Bruce Dunn & Randle Moore
W
hat a beautiful night! The wind
was just right and the moon shone
brightly. Charlie Mayer was the
first of the two trimarans on Brioso. Within
the spinnaker fleet, Fred Lindsey came in first
on TLT, followed by Phillip Davis on Tejano,
and Chris Powers single handed Clarabelle
for third. In the non-spin fleet, Jim Kizziar
was first on Alibi III, second was Jim Ritchie
on Agapetos Duo, and third was Robin Engel
on her Catalina 22, Havin' Fun. Bruce Dunn
reports all racers had a great time and were
happy with the fleeting. Charlie Mayer’s
lighted buoys worked quite well.
A great deal of thanks go to the race committee
consisting of Dave Sanford, Bruce Dunn, and Mark
Goodner (2014).
SAIL CANYON LAKE!
KeelBoatRaces–May 9thRandle Moore
W
hen you have twelve boats registered and only four boats show up
for the start, you know something
is amiss. I think it is safe to say, there were no
winners, just survivors. Twenty-two mph of
sustained winds can be quite intimidating. I
know, I’ve gone out in my Flying Scot in winds
like that. That’s the kind of crazy some crazy
people do when it’s race day. I’ve also found
that’s the sort of wind that breaks things on
a boat. On that particular Saturday, I found
the Tiki Taxi to be much more to my liking.
The finishes were a little odd in this race.
The J/22 fleet managed to have a perfect tie
among all boats for the day. All came in 7th
out of a fleet of six. The hardy souls who
ventured out on the course made up an odd
fleet; Charlie Mayer on his trimaran, Brioso,
Buddy Byington on StellaRay, Pete Macler
on Somewhere, amd Jack Mogab on Pura
Vida. When the day was done, Charlie took
first in the multihull fleet. The non-spin fleet
finished out with Buddy Byington first, Pete
Macler second and Jack Mogab third. All racers
seemed to have a good time and should have
their boats repaired in time for the next races.
A big set of thanks goes to the folks that
made the race happen and prepared snacks
afterword – Kathleen Hixon and Jake Mathis
in the clubhouse, and on race committee: Jean
Junker, Arnie Wilenken (HCYC), Joe McDonough, and Fred Scantling (HCYC and
LCYC applicant).
