REEF POINT “For the encouragement and promotion of yachting and the creation of a spirit of good fellowship…” July 2013 (RYC Constitution, Article II) Racine Yacht Club Commodore’s Report It was a case of good news and bad news. The good news was that our Tri-Club Racine on the Riviera was an outstanding success. There were hundreds in attendance, the band was great, we had plenty of food and there was no shortage of fun had by all. The bad news was I missed the party on the way back from South Shore’s Queen’s Cup. I had good company in the person of ‘Wild Bill’ Erdmann who sailed a great race with me in the double fleet. Sure, it was a cold, wet, and bumpy ride, but we were hoping that the people were safe on shore enjoying the evening. Turns out that they were. As for the slow spring start, most of those on the Queen’s got all caught up on our sailing with the ~210NM round trip. I always thought the Racine Yacht Club was a cool place to be. That tradition will continue as we have just replaced the AC and makeup heating unit on the roof. The old system was getting tired and we had no other anticipated cash requirements for capital projects this year. It was time and I’m glad it’s in…one less thing to worry about. More news inside the house would include a permanently mounted projector and screen at the north end of the dining room. We should have this rolled out some time for the upcoming roundrobins, Louis Vuitton Cup, and the whole AC thing on the big screen. I would like to offer a public thank you to Lynn Landwehr who so kindly donated a new swing set for the beach. It was a wonderful legacy and generous replacement as her father, Dr. Craig Davis, had purchased the last swing set twentysome-odd years ago. A big thank you to Lynn and Jack. This naturally leads to the whole kids topic. Notably, we have a Kid’s Night, which I have come to understand, happens on the third Friday of the month (unless it doesn’t, then it’s the forth Friday). We have a couple dads getting this thing together, notably Buck Mercer, Aaron Lund, and Brett Gruchow. They have activities for the kids on Friday night out on the lawn so (as an experienced parent) the participants wolf down some chicken fingers and then proceed to get grass stains on their clothing. I have been witness to several Phones ミ General: (262) 634-8585 Racine, Wisconsin Summer Solstice “No Sails Required” Winners “No Sails Required” winners were: Sandy Fox Third, Darrell Wright Second, Joan and John Balthazor First. Photo courtesy of Susan Cain of these events and it seems like it’s working. The overriding vision is that we want young people to see the Club as a fun place to visit, not just a place where they have to sit at a dining room table yearning for freedom. That thing is working. Big news this in July is the HOOK race. Our boat count currently sits at 46 compared to last year’s 56 but we have another week and a half at the time of this writing. There are lots of theories why we’re down, and why the Queen’s was down but it is not for lack of trying. Scott Lewis and committee have done more promotion this year than in the past so the question remains unanswered. We are in our last year of the Death’s Door/Black Beard sponsorship so do your part and drink their products. They’ve been a great sponsor and that’s how they feed their families….Cheers! The Friday night of the HOOK is always a blast and this year the featured entertainment is the Pack Rats Band. They do all the Rat Pack stuff so check it out daddio! I would write more but I have to get the boat ready to go to the finish line in Menominee. Have a great summer! – Charlie Manning, Commodore Racine Yacht Club ・ One Barker Street ・ Racine, WI 53402 42 44.24 N - 87 46.69 W Office, 7:00amミNoon: (262) 634-8587 FAX (262) 634-8971 Web site: www.racineyachtClub.org e-mail: [email protected] View the Reef Point in color on our Web site! RYC News in Brief From the June Board meeting minutes: Treasurer Frank Randall reported a monthly net loss for May. The annual lease payment was part of that month’s expense. However, on a YTD basis, the Club finances are good with a healthy sum in adjusted income. Water levels continue to rise approaching last year’s levels at this time. Commodore’s Report No report. Vice Commodore Gregg Henning reported the Long Range Planning Committee did not meet this month, but members continue to gather costs for future sessions. Office Manager Kim Shortess reported the new directories were going to the printer that day. She distributed the final Work or Pay report for 2012 for review by Board members. Shortess indicated the newly implemented ACH payment program is going well. Rear Commodore John Stanley reported the Youth Sailing Program has started. Membership Secretary’s Report Shortess presented the membership status changes: NEW MEMBERS: Tom and Stephanie Auer STATUS CHANGES: Active to Resigned: Vic and Linda Schubert; Phillip and Kim Ambrose Shortess reported accounts in arrears have been cleared, only four accounts with relatively small balances remain. House Director Jim Rooney indicated he has signed a contract for replacement of the defective windows in the dining room. He expects the work to be done within a week. Rooney reported the HVAC system required emergency repairs to the 21 year old unit. He asked for estimates to refurbish or replace the unit will come to $1875 for refurbishment, or $14,960 for replacement. After discussion, the Board approved up to $20,000 for replacement. Discussion included how to incorporate the HVAC design into the future roof replacement project so as not to incur additional expense at that time. Rooney reported work was done on the bar sinks. Lines and coolers need work too. His committee will be providing complimentary snacks at the bar. He will be seeking and reviewing proposals for catering for contract renewal time in the fall. Rooney fielded questions on the caterer’s decision to cancel dinner on a Wednesday race night as well as problems with stocking the bar. Pier Director Mark Lukow presented a written report: Two unassigned slips remain. All vital projects and repairs complete. Let’s go sailing! Yard Director Jack Landwehr presented a written report: Sand was removed from lot and large pile located by north fence was moved to a beach staging area. Sand was then being moved from the beach staging area to RYC beach area. Thank you to Gary Feest for bringing down the heavy equipment to remove the large piles of sand. There is always sand to remove from the lot for members looking for work or pay hours. A wind screen will be purchased and installed by the 4th of July. The cost to purchase the wind screen for the north fence is approximately $1,200. Volunteeers will be needed to attach the wind screen to the north fence. The new children’s swing set donated by Lynn Landwehr is assembled and ready for swingers. Thank you to Lynn Landwehr for donating it and thanks to all who worked on assembling the swing set. A reminder that the set is designed for younger children. Younger children should be supervised when using the swing set or playing on the RYC beach. Children use it at their own risk. A procedure will be developed to move the swing into the winter storage area and to anchor the swing set for summertime use. A procedure to burn large bonfires on the county land in the basin will be available shortly. The procedure will have contact numbers for City of Racine Fire Department and Racine County Water Patrol. Place calls to these two departments five minutes before starting the fire to eliminate any confusion as to what is burning near the RYC shoreline.

Thanks to Joe Fox for replacing the burnt out lights on the poles in the parking lot and replacing the wiring for the lights illuminating the east lawn. RYC looks great at night. Sam Marsteller suggested that RYC place a dock box on the beach to store toys used for playing in the sand. The dock box is on the beach is now ready for toys. Thanks to Steve, Sue and Sam Marsteller for getting the dock box ready for the beach. The large cracks and pot holes in the RYC parking lot will be repaired in the next few weeks, most likely after the 4th of July.

Boat storage assignments are based on the previous year’s location and then first new contract received. The repair for the fence and gate for the gray enclosure will be completed shortly. Rooney commented on Landwehr’s plan to draw water from the lake for yard use. He suggested instead that the Club install a split water meter so that water only (not sewer) usage can be charged for yard and pier use, separate from house use. Henning indicated that Joe McGauran has contacted the beach authorities to see if a natural fence can be provided by planting beach grass along the north fence line. Entertainment Director Kurt Lasson indicated all was ready for the Tri Club Party with the exception of door prizes. He presented the events for 4th of July celebration weekend.
