For those who were unable to attend we received a quorum and the 5% dues increase was approved to start on April 1. I want to ensure all members that the Board and Dwayne will continue to look for ways to reduce costs as we have already experienced some cost increases due to inflation. First Friday Music will continue very month until November so be on the lookout for what musician will be playing each month. Roselle Nottage has some great entertainment lined up this year for First Friday Music nights. See you on March 4. The “Go Live” date for our PV Solar project has run into another delay. HECO has recommended a couple of changes before they approve our project so our solar vendor, Bonterra, has had to make these changes to the system. Some additional wiring will be implemented this week and we hope to have HECO’s approval the first week of March. We will keep the membership up to date by sending out a blast e-mail once we receive HECO approval to go live. The Club Manager selection committee has reviewed all of the resumes we received and we are now down to a short list of four candidates. We are conducting more second round interviews and continue to make great progress. Our goal is still to have a new club manager on staff by the end of March. We will keep the membership up to date by sending out a blast e-mail once we have selected a new Club Manager. Now that the Sail Boat Race season has started, Sail Fast and Safe and please remember to show respect and the Aloha spirit to all guests, visitors, fellow members and employees. Vice Commodore Tom Wood Aloha, All. A year ago we were recovering from high wind and wave effects that left the Marine Corps Base Marina badly damaged and caused some damage to our docks as well. We have been lucky so far this year in terms of winter storms, and we can certainly hope that the weather continues to be benevolent and also good for racing, but you never know. If you haven’t checked your lines and fenders lately, now would be a good time to do so in preparation for hurricane season in a few months. February saw the start of First Friday as well as more significant racing activity, the completion of annual haul-out activities, and the Cruising Fleet made it to Molokai as well – overall a good month. Our new Part Captain is building on the great efforts of his predecessor with the support of the Mooring Committee. I ask that if you are currently on a waitlist you stop by the Club and ensure that the contact information on file is accurate to enable the Port Captain to reach you, both in case of emergency or in the happy event that a spot becomes available. Stay safe, watch out for each other, and I hope to see you all at the Club or on the water. Easter Brunch Sunday, March 27 $35 adults, $21 children 6-12yrs tax & gratuity not included Seating times: 9:00, 9:30,10:00,10:30,11:00 please contact the KYC office for reservations 247-4121 Rear Commodore Frederic Berg Aloha, This time last year, the marina on the Marine Base was badly damaged and as a result, our insurance rates for the piers went up. The rest of the year wasn’t much better with several hurricanes threatening and four active hurricanes in the Pacific Basin at one time. Our hearts go out to our friends in Fiji who just got slammed with their strongest cyclone on record. We need to be vigilant as the times they are a changing. Coming up in March we start off with the SOLD OUT Safety at Sea Seminar on March 5. If you're like me you've postponed signing up and you may be justifying not attending at all. BIG MISTAKE!! We have a once in a decade opportunity to take a safety at sea class right here on Oahu rather than flying out to the west coast for training. This is required for anyone contemplating Pac Cup and Transpac as well as it should be required for those of us crossing channels. Someone far more experienced than I once said that as soon as you enter a Hawaiian channel you might as well be going to Tahiti. You would be lucky to land in Tahiti if anything ever happened to you as drifting in the Pacific can last a while before you hit something. As the Coast Guard likes to say, “learn to take the search out of search and rescue”. This course will help those who are attending. On March 12 we have the New Comers Pupu Party. For this event we are asking each fleet to send a representative ready to speak to any our our newest members about their fleet, it’s activities, opportunities to join, volunteer and any other bragging you feel compelled to do. It’s a great opportunity for the fleets and the new members. I can say from my time on the Membership Committee, these are some of our most enthusiastic and energetic members. The first joint Club/Fleet Ops meeting lasted one hour and fifteen minutes and it’s been renamed the Ops Mtg, for short, just like the meeting itself. Lots of great coordinating happened and little time was spent dwelling on the past, all forward looking. Thanks everyone for attending and your focus. Thank you to all the Race Committee volunteers who have stepped forward to manage the IRF and Classboat races. Without you we would not be able to have these wonderful races on the bay. Keep up the great work and if you haven’t signed up for race committee and would like to, please contact Eric Aakhus at (808) 675-6302. He’ll be happy to set you up. Just bringing up the rear… Enjoy your month of March. 3 Junior Sailing Director Jesse Andrews We are looking for more sailing kids for Spring classes! If you can only make some morning classes and some afternoons we are flexible. We also are changing the names of our classes this summer and will be more flexible in sailing the types of boats that the kids want to sail! We now have Toppers, 8 new boats being shipped as we speak! Open Bics are fun introductory boats to transition into single handed sailing. They can be used in the morning El Toro or afternoon Introduction to Racing Class. We will be calling the classes just morning and afternoon racing classes and let the class use the boats they want to train in. Some want to train in Toppers or FJs for High School sailing, others in El Toros or Lasers to get ready for HYSA regattas and others in 420s to practice spinnaker and trapeze work. The intro to racing class may be called the "intro to single handed sailing". This will be taught in Toppers, Bics and El Toros depending again on wind strength and personal boat preference. We have a variety of boats at KYC now and want to utilize them! So if you were not wanting to sign up for class because of a morning or afternoon conflict let us know, we can accommodate kids in other classes since we are not filled up! Summertime the classes are much more full. So this is a great opportunity to get more one-on-one time with the instructors and the Junior instructors. Thanks and feel free to email if you have any questions.

I look forward to meeting those of you I don’t already know and working together to keep our yacht club boating smooth and safe. Directly helping me will be Neil Morgan, my deputy to assist and step in in my absence, Ike Eichelberger in charge of dry storage, and other Mooring Committee members, Rick Osborne, Bob Hurd and Wayne Reis, to observe and assist as needed. The first order of business is to take care of filling the dry storage slips and removing boats not meeting movement requirements. We will then move on to the wet slips to assure proper equipment is in place and movement requirements are also being met. In assuming my new position, I reviewed the mooring rules and realize some boaters may not be as aware of our mooring regulations as they should be. I would like to highlight a few rules that will be our prime focus: Unattended boats left at the bulkhead for more than two hours must have my permission to stay or be assigned to a temporary mooring. You may contact me at 554-8984. All boats, whether in wet or dry slips, are required to move twice each quarter. The Mooring Committee will contact those not meeting this requirement to schedule a time for you to move your boat with a mooring representative present. Your help and cooperation is appreciated. Just a heads up, I will be out of the country March 15-29. You will need to contact Neil Morgan at 927-3951 for all port captain needs. Thank you and see you around the club! Friday Night sailing starts April Fool’s Day The Club Thanks Joan Wollenbecker for many years of service running the El Toro races on Friday nights at the club. She and her husband have been transferred to Germany and she will be leaving this spring. She has graciously agreed to help with the turn-over of duties on April 1----So come on down and wish her well as she runs her last Friday night race. There will be some changes this year. We will be adding 420/FJ fleet and a Laser fleet to the mix. There will be harbor starts and finishes with varying courses for the larger and smaller boats. Come out and join the fun as we kick-off a new season and say Mahalo to Joan on April 1.

In this two day event, participants from all over the country received individualized instruction tailored to their needs and abilities. Coaches including KYC's very own Luke Kudray, modified the boats and lessons to accommodate each participants’ unique physical and emotional needs in the hope that participants will leave this experience to pursue the sport of sailing. Mahalo to all the member volunteers who donated their time and especially to the CAL 20 fleet who generously donated their finely tuned racing machines for this inspiring event. The conditions obliged, we had two great days of sailing, and I can’t think of a better venue in which to foster interest in yachting or a group more deserving of the club's support. BURGEE SWAP Anyone who visited KYC over the last week or so could not help but notice the beautiful visting yacht moored out int he bay and/or on the bulkhead. Rear Commodore, Frederic Berg, shared a moment with our German yacht visitors wishing to swap a burgee from their FSD (Freier Sportverein Dortmund) Sailing Department while enjoying KYC. Their 50‘ vessel “Zero“ was designed by famous naval architect William Garden. Germany is a long way from Kaneohe Yacht Club but that hasn’t stopped Christian and Rebecca from dreaming big...their long story short: We’re a young couple who bought and refitted a 1974 build sailboat to sail the world. Beginning our adventures in Mexico we cruised the Sea of Cortez before we crossed the Pacific Ocean from Cabo San Lucas Mexico to Hilo Hawaii in May 2015. Since we arrived in Hilo after 20 days and 2.667 nautical miles of open ocean in early June we are cruising back and forth between the beautiful Hawaiian Islands. We arrived in Kaneohe a couple of days ago and we will prepare our ZERO to do the 2.500 nm passage from Kauai to Dutch Harbor in Alaska in Spring this Year. We decided to share our stories on our webpage www.sy-ZERO.de and on our YouTube channel. There you’ll find HD Videos about our adventures and plenty of pictures and background information about us and our floating home ZERO. Sail with us..! KYC member Luke Kudray assisted the Wounded Warriors.

THE PASHA HAWAII INTERNATIONAL FOURTEEN PACIFIC RIM CHAMPIONSHIPS The ninth running of the PAC RIM I-14 race has a new sponsor; Pasha Hawaii. Pasha Hawaii is a domestic shipping company that has a great interest in supporting Junior sailing in Hawaii and the environment. They are working with the regatta organizers to get the top skiff sailors around the world to come to Kaneohe Yacht Club April 2 to 5. This event is made possible by their support. We already have confirmation from teams from Italy, Britain, Canada, Australia, and Japan. The local fleet is gearing up for a great event. Clark Fremgen has again agreed to be our PRO. We anticipate 24 boats. The Junior sail training for skiffs will be taught by former World and National Champions. Weather permitting, on Sunday April 3 the top competitors will be providing rides on the bay for Junior sailors following the training ashore. We will also be discussing the recent Ocean Cleanup project and the importance of clean air and clean water. The Awards Banquet will be held in the Long House on April 4. The entertainment following the dinner will be local young Hawaiian dance students and Fire Dancers on the lawn in front of the club. It should start at 7:30PM. Members are welcome to come watch the show, see the racing skiffs, and meet the competitors. The racing starts in the early afternoon and will finish by 4PM. Come down and see the activities and enjoy the sailing regatta! The Cal 20 Fleet has continued to grow over the last few years, with around fifteen boats actively participating in racing. Most of the boats in the fleet are several decades old; as such, they require year-round maintenance to keep them active. Most recently, several boat owners have been investing their time and resources into completely overhauling their Cal 20s during the off-season. They’ve had their hulls and decks repainted, and replaced most rigging. If you have the time, I recommend taking a walk through the slips and checking out the beautiful paint jobs! With the 2016 season underway, we’ve already completed two regattas. So far, the winds haven’t quite settled in this year – Classboat A (2/6/16) was completed in light winds ranging from 0 to 5 knots, coming anywhere from the south to the west. Most of the day was spent drifting around the course. In the end, after some difficult racing, Lucky Bucket (sailed by Andrew Meade, Kerri Schweibert, and Craig Shifferns) took first place. While the wind directions were similar for Classboat B (2/21/16), the wind speed ranged anywhere from 0 to 20-25 knots. One minute, you were drifting….the next, bracing for a 20 knot gust rushing down from the mountains. Needless to say, it made for tough racing and inconsistent finishes. Luka (sailed by Marc Barra and Tanner Marsh) had the most consistent racing of the day in the crazy winds, and took first place. Congrats to both boats on their victories. So far, the season has been off to a great start. Our next two regattas are on March 6 and March 13, with the March 13 date being the Wahine Classboat day. As always, if anyone is looking to get involved with the Cal 20 fleet, please email me at [email protected]. Aloha, Jeff KYC Annual Blood Drive Saturday, March 26 Once again, the tennis fleet is sponsoring our annual Blood Drive.

Lasagna, pasta, salads and bread were the mainstay of the potluck with many wonderful desserts to finish off the meal. With the Academy Awards theme everyone was encouraged to dress to the nines, with a prize for best dressed, and using the wonderful cutouts of Oscar we got several great shots of our formally dressed attendees. The cutouts belong to Lynn Pease, who was in charge of decorating and she used gold, white and candles on each table. The tournament was a little different this month with two teams created with the 20 players. First team was The Mid-Court Crisis with Keegan Giles, Greg Siok, John Gross, Bob Babyack, Richard Leclerc, Sime Gross, Cindy Siok, Laura Meyers, Donlei Darnell and Dana Nottage. Second team was The Backhanded Compliments with Rob Rietow, Aaron Phillips, Kit Beuret, Bob Yoder, Bob Meierdiercks, Liz Meierdiercks, Sherri Phillips, Betsy Denzer, Susie Jannuzzi and Lynn Pease. Although awards were given using individual points earned in the round robin format, the team scores were announced too, with the winning team being Mid-Court Crisis Team! The winner for the men was second - Bob Babyack and first Place was Greg Siok. There was a tie for second Place for women with Suzie Jannuzzi and Sherri Phillips playing super games. The winner for women in February was Sime Gross. It was a lot of fun and ran very smoothly after we got the courts dry. Winning the Best Dressed Award was Betsy Denzer with a stunning long red gown with great décolleté. Ann Ayling and Terry Beuret wore tiaras and Dave Ayling wore his tux jacket on top and shorts to accompany it. The Tennis Fleet is open to all KYC members and although we encourage members to get on the courts if they have played tennis before or arrange for some lessons and join us when they are comfortable, playing tennis is not a required talent!!! We have fun round robin tournaments most months of the year with great potluck dinners following. Every weekend and holiday morning, starting at 8:30 there is walk-on tennis for several hours. You will find all levels of tennis and we encourage all KYC members and guests to join in this very casual relaxed atmosphere. Tennis is a game for the ages…….you will never regret learning to play …….it will stay with you all your life.

This Spring we have expanded our classes from 11 to 13 weeks. We will be starting one week earlier and are keeping the prices very affordable at $5 to $7 an hour per student. Whether or not a student was enrolled in the Summer Program or some other session, take this opportunity to participate in our Spring Junior Sailing Program! As a primary benefit, the Spring classes are normally a smaller class size so students can take advantage of a better instructor to student ratio. Students in the Topper class will also have more opportunities to sail by themselves and accelerate up into other classes at a faster pace. These classes focus on safety, fun and sailing skill building. In addition to regularly scheduled classes, the program offers participation in local regattas, Friday night El Toro races, and Sunday Laser and 420 Races. Spring Sailing Program Schedule Novice Topper Sailing - This is a Learn-To-Sail class for students aged 8 to 18. If a student has little to no sailing experience or has taken a few years ashore and wants to rediscover sailing, this is the class. Classes are primarily taught in Toppers, our beginning sailboat. Boats are provided for all students enrolled in this class. Curriculum will include the basics of sailing, including parts of the boat, points of sail, and boat handling. The goal of this course is to have fun in a safe and educational atmosphere. Classes will be held on Saturday, 9:30 AM to 12:30 PM. Introduction to Racing- This is for the sailor who understands the basic fundamentals of sailing including, rigging, points of sail, docking and terminology. Sailors must be competent in capsize recovery and be able to sail a boat by themselves. Curriculum will focus on performance dinghy handling in El Toros and 420s and will introduce racing skills. The goal of this class is to improve sailing skills and to gain a basic understanding of sailboat racing and tactics. Classes will be held on Saturday from 1:30 PM to 4:30 PM Morning and Afternoon Racing Class- No messing around!! Junior Sailors interested in more advanced levels of sailing including racing, tactics, boat handling, and boat maintenance, should enroll in this class. Students who participate in this class will work closely with students of all ages to improve sportsmanship, leadership and sailing competence. This class will require more time and effort on the part of the sailor and will require attendance at local regattas. El Toro classes will be held from 9:30am to 12:30pm. Laser and 420 Classes will be from 1:30 PM to 4:30 PM. Special Notes for Racing Class Students: There are additional fees for regattas usually around $10.00.

The first article in September described the plan to map the Great Pacific Garbage Patch following the TRANSPAC race. About thirty ocean racers participated during the return delivery. The second article appeared in the October issue of Telltales describing the delivery and sample collection process that we completed from Adrenalin (Santa Cruz 50) as we sailed her back to Richmond YC in SF Bay. The boat is home-ported during the winter months on the west coast. The samples we collected on the far northwestern edge of the Garbage Patch were kept frozen on our boat and sent by FEDEX to Holland for analysis. The preliminary findings were worse than estimated. The density of the plastics under the surface and volume at the northern edges was far greater than the scientists originally calculated. The amount of surface debris and fish netting that we documented was also far greater than was originally estimated. Boyan Slat, the young Dutch leader of the Ocean Cleanup project has taken the data to Japan and collaborated with the Japanese government to build a 1.2 mile long floating boom, the longest structure ever put in to the ocean, off the island of Tsushima. If this pilot project can remove the garbage in a cost-effective manner plans are being drawn up to put a 100 kilometer boom in the Pacific Garbage Patch by 2020. The immediate requirements are urgent. The longer action is delayed, the more ocean plastic slips beyond the reach of even a project as ambitious as the Ocean Cleanup. Stopping countries from dumping while at the same time working to cleanup the damage that is affecting our food chain already is critical. The invisible poisoning has started. Already Scientists know that plastic particles are turning up in mussels and oysters harvested commercially. The time for action is yesterday!!!!! 13 SPRING 2016 JUNIOR PROGRAM 2016 SPRING JUNIOR PROGRAM APPLICATION _______________________________________________________________ LAST NAME FIRST (NICKNAME) AGE HOME PHONE ADDRESS CITY MOTHERS NAME ZIP E-MAIL ADRESS WORK # FATHERS NAME PERSON TO NOTIFY IN CASE OF EMERGENCY WORK # PHONE # Please state any medical conditions: _____________________________ __________________________________________________________________ SAILING CLASS Class Time COST: MEMBERS/NON-MEMBERS Novice Topper Sailing Saturday 9:30 to 12:30 $270/$320 Introduction to racing Saturday 1:30 to 4:30 $270/$320 Morning El Toro/Laser Racing Saturday 9:30 to 12:30 $270/$320 Advanced Racing 420 and Laser Saturday 1:30 to 4:30 $270/$320 Both Saturday’s Classes Saturday 9:30 to 4:30 $480/$565 Total: ARE YOU A MEMBER?
