After a 41 day hiatus, the Corinthian
Series started again with its third race in
this best four out of six series. During
the day we were concerned with the
weather but in the end the forecast was
correct. We were able to get the race in
with ten boats competing. Grabbing the
win was Jerry Dunnells’ Chanson.
Following closely behind was Paul
Rendich’s Clipper in second and Aileen
Eppig’s Brokher in third. The racing
was close with the top five boats
finishing within minutes of each other.
Running an excellent race was Dan
McMillian & Will Walters. Shore side,
Trudy & Gary Guarino whipped up
some super post race vittles!! Don’t
forget the Corinthian Series is a best
four of six series so that right to the
crown is still up for grabs.
The following Sunday we held the BYC
Men’s & Women’s Championships with
crews competing in Flying Scots. Racing
was tight in the Women’s flight where
three teams competed and the winner
still hasn’t been decided because of a
protest that needs to be heard – that’s
how close the racing was!
In the Men’s flight we had four crews.
After some intense racing, skipper
Kevin Brink, along with crew Lindsay
Brink & Greg Brink, were able to fend
off the team of Dave Johnson, Chris
Sicignano, Bob Grover & stand in Jim
Glynn, (Jim jumped in after Bob
received an injury & required some
first aid), who came in second. In
third place were Andrew Hemingway,
Justin Grover and Jonathan Hoyler.

Helping to keep this event running smoothly was
Daisy Holzmacher & Jim Glynn as RC, Ken
Goodwin, Larry Schaefer and Paul Rendich as
patrol boats, Christine Mullé for the food, our
resident photographer Rich Tesoro for some nice
pictures, Andrew Hemingway, Justin Grover &
Jonathan Hoyler for jumping in and doing many
of the pre-event prep jobs, GSBYRA for the loan
of their two Flying Scots to help speed the day
along, Chris Sicignano for use of Sybaris as RC
boat and a special thanks to Pete Capitain who
spent the rest of the day moving GSBYRA’s
Flying Scots back to Bay Shore Yacht Club!
times to be on the water – the traffic starts to
dwindle, the air becomes crisp, the breeze freshens
and sailing comes into its own. It just a pleasant
time to be on the water. So get out there!!
Our next race is Corinthian Race #4 on Friday
August 22nd followed with the re-scheduled
Governor’s Cup on Monday September 1.
Our schedule is loaded up during the fall with
racing most weekends. The fall is one of the best

Secretary’s Report
Submitted by Barbara Schaefer
Gayle Comerford asked me to mention that next
year’s Swim Team Slide Show will be much
longer! We had some technical difficulty with
CVS – they only returned half of the photos. We
apologize for the brevity of the show and promise
to make up for it next year.
As we near the end of the season, I’d like to
remind you that the best way to see your kids,
your friends or yourself in the yearbook is to email
me your digital photos. I would also ask that you
send them to the Webmaster, Pete Capitain. The
photos then become part of the pictorial archives
of the Club.

adult member who remains on the Club

yourself to it.
