Adult Sailing to Be
Held this Summer
Peter Costa and Joe Zambella have announced that once again this year they plan
to offer sailing lessons for members and
their spouses. Currently, there is a registration night for prospective students scheduled
for June 12th in the ballroom. This will be an
important meeting as it will help determine
how the evening sailing lessons will be organized. Depending upon the response, Peter and Joe want to have lessons several
evenings to enable more on the water time for each new sailor. Several of our “expert”
member sailors have volunteered their time to teach and the Rhodes 19 Class has been
very helpful and allowing their boats to be used.
This year there will be an enrollment fee of $50.00 as the Rhodes owners have asked that
their boats be insured for the lessons in case of any damage. Any questions please contact
Peter or Joe..

Youth Sailing Holds Seamanship Class
On Friday March 14th the CPYC
Youth Sailing Board presented a
wonderful learning and hands on experience to the children of the program with a seamanship and introduction to knot tying under the direction
of Larry Bradley, Paul Leary and
Lou Guarino. As pictured on the left,
Paul and Larry led a basic discussion
of seamanship with emphasis on right
of way and can (buoy) identification
demonstrated with model boats. On
right Lou works one-on-one instructing various knots and cleating procedures as the sailors practiced with the ropes and cleats provided. Each youth sailor got a
booklet of Seamanship Fun Pages. See how well you can do on the example below. The evening was a great pre-summer program
to enhance the youth sailors knowledge for the upcoming season. A number of members who just happened by became involved,
listened to the class content and jumped in to work with the young people. Congratulations to CPYC Youth Sailing presenting such
a great program.
EDITORIAL NOTES
First, I have to apologize as I left Ellen
Rielly out as a retiring board member.
Ellen did such a fine job, especially as
liaison to the Youth Sailing Program, that I
guess I wanted her to continue forever.
Secondly, please note that my email address has changed. It is now <[email protected]>
Currently any mail at my old address is
being forwarded, but this will be discontinued at the end of May.
Third, please know that information especially as to dates and activities, are as accurate as possible at the time the Windjammer goes to print. There are times that
changes to occur later however.

THE COMMODORE’S CORNER
Speaking for all at the club, we are delighted to welcome the beginning of the summer
season and say farewell to the winnowing winter weather. All things seem brighter
with the longer daylight hours and things are definitely brighter at the club.
Those of us who have endured the leaky rainstorms at the club are delighted
that the new roof is nearing completion – no more buckets!
Our membership continues to grow. We are so pleased to welcome all of our
new members and the addition of many new sailors to the Youth Sailing Program.
Volunteerism is a huge reason why things happen around CPYC and things looks
bright here too.
Sue Hardy has brought color to our Windjammer newsletter, and the effect is
terrific.
Sara Jane Wessinger’s Entertainment Committee has a host of new ideas for
the 2003 season. Among a few are the Foxwood Trip, the Easter Egg Hunt,
CPYC Goes to the POPS and the Memorial Day Weekend Harbor Cruise.
Marina Weekend brought out many members; both those with marina obligations and those who just wanted to pitch in. A lot got done both inside and
out, because of all the help.
Historically, the club has functioned due to the commitment of its members and committees. Please consider giving a little time to help the club continue to be a bright
spot. It’s a great way to meet both new and old friends and help the club at the same
time. Among a few of the areas to volunteer are the House, Entertainment, Membership, Marina. and Race Committees. If you think you can spare a little time, email me
at [email protected].
Hope to see all of you around the club and until then, happy sailing.

2002-2003 Frostbiting Season Ends
Tough Season for
Lasers
___________________________________________________________
The 2002-2003 winter sailing season was a
very difficult season. We raced 13 weekends, but lost over 10 weekends to wind,
ice and/or being too cold. Congratulations
to Warren Tafton for winning his second
Canpionship. Warren sailed tough all season and forced the rest of us to try to catch
up with him. This year we averaged 8
boats on the line and averaged 5 to 6 races
on the weekends that we raced. The season
lasts over 5 months and it is long, but as
you can see from the below scores every
point and race is important. Many of us are
learning that the laser can be a little tricky
in heavy winds, but that is how we learn
and become better sailors. I think that everyone that raced at one point went for a
swim during one of the wild planing
reaches or tacking to finish. If you are
pushing the boat and yourself, it is bound
to happen.
We hope participation will increase next
year. If you know of someone who has a
boat and would like to sail, send me an
email or check out our website at
<www.cpyc.org/laser>

IC Season Hampered by Wind and Ice
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________-
The Interclub fleet was also effected but the severe weather of this past winter. Many
days the racers retreated to the pilot house and warmth. Many days the size of the fleet
was reduced by the weather
forecasted for the day. It was
easier to stay in a warm bed.
Fleet size ranged from 4 boats
to 13 boats according to the
weather. There was a core of
names that sailed MANY
days, including Bowers, Adams, MacRae, Nelson,
Coyle, Braverman and
Pratt. The Winthrop IC fleet
sent 13 boats to the Nationals
in Annapolis to race in the 63
boat fleet. The teams of Bowers/MacRae finished 4th while MacRae/Epstein finished 8th. The Mass Bay Championship was raced in the fogi n Situate. Jim Bowers won the event with the local
fleet also taking 3rd, 4th, and 5th places. May next year be better for winter sailing.
HISTORY OF WINTER SAILING AT CPYC
By Peter Costa
Ed Note: When one remembers that the original purpose of CPYC was to promote yachting
with the second purpose being to promote social welfare; one certainly has to say that that the
brave winter sailors meet and uphold these purposes well. Frostbiting distinguishes CPYC from
other clubs in the area.
In 1972 two members of the CPYC, Walter Chadwick and Peter Costa started winter sailing in a new class called the Laser. There are no records of organized winter sailing before

this date at the club. For the first couple of years we sailed from my back
yard on Johnson Ave. As the fleet grew to ten boats, with Norm Siefert,
Hatch Brown and John Kelley, we asked the BOD if we could sail from
the head pier at CPYC. At that time the entire marina was taken away for
the winter and put on Snake Island. With Dean Fairbrother and Bill
Ascue as the race committee we sailed Lasers during the next twenty
winters. This group was a mixture of members and non-members as this
was to the benefit of our own members. At its peak the fleet grew to
twenty-five sailors.
In 1995, the Marblehead frostbite group asked if they could sail from
CPYC. This group is over fifty years old and is one of the best-organized
winter groups in the northeast. Ernie Hardy, commodore at that time,
welcomed them with the unanimous approval of the BOD. They numbered twenty-five boats. Many from this group have become members of
our club.
In 1998, Jack Kendall and Norm Siefert started the radio controlled
model sailboat group that now numbers thirty or so people. The roster
includes current flag officers of the CPYC.
In 2001, the Rhodes 19 fleet joined the winter group. While almost all
club members at first, they have been growing each year and now have a
nice group of seven to eight boats that sail through the first of the year.
Other sailors with boats like Stars and Etchells have sailed during the
winter to get ready for some important regattas. Some of our local colleges have sailed during the winter to ready themselves for the spring
season. The winter sailing brings life to our club. Many club members,
although not winter sailors themselves, love to see this young and enthusiastic group sailing at CPYC.
Does The Everett Extension Pipeline Proposal Effect
Cottage Park Yacht Club? You Decide!
Wednesday, April 30th, the Friends of Belle Isle Marsh hosted a
presentation at WCAT on Duke Energy and Algonquin Gas
Transmission Company Everett Extension Project. Following a
brief presentation, representatives from varying departments
within Duke Energy answered questions and took comments about
the proposed natural gas pipeline. It appears that the “pipe line
would run through Winthrop, East Boston, Chelsea and Everett
connecting the Hub line (a 30 inch gas line out in the harbor to a
KeySpan connection in East Boston, an Algonquin J system in
Everett, the Exelon Power Plant in Everett and the Distrigas LNG
terminal in Everett.” (Friends of Belle Isle Marsh Website).
It is significant to point out the charts and diagrams displayed at
the meeting were quite enlarged and had no Coast Guard navigational references sited on them. However, it appears that the pipe
line will be installed by horizontal directional drilling (“HDD”),
from the Point Shirley side of the Deer Island shore, under the
waters between the Point and Snake Island. Along the Snake Island flats it will come up to a dredged installation which will run
through the CPYC mooring area sunk approximately 3-5 feet. In
the vicinity of buoy #6, the pipeline will continue by HDD under
Logan Airport Runway 22L and 22R to the East Boston shoreline.
The entire pipeline will be about seven miles of 24” pipe.
While this meeting was not well attended, CPYC did have a couple of members in attendance. E. Hardy, S. Hardy, D. Dimes,
and S. McGovern raised numerous questions and made a significant number of observations about the plan which could present
problems to the gas company, the airport, the town, the club and
recreational boating from a safety and environmental standpoint
This chart is included so that the reader can have ready reference to the waters surrounding Winthrop and Cottage Park Yacht Club
especially. While pipeline construction would take place during the winter months, the size and nature of the equipment necessary
for the project present navigational problems too. A representative from the Conservation Commission asked pointed questions
that its membership would be concerned with during their upcoming hearings. John Vitagliano, past Mass Port Board member,
presented an April 18th opinion from Mass Port that has been filed with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission which states
that it is concerned that Duke Energy has not supplied sufficient information with regard to safety and environmental issues. How
unusual for Mass Port and Winthrop to be on the same side.
It seems it would behoove the CPYC leadership and membership, in addition to town committees and positions, to stay abreast of
the developments in the Everett Extension Pipeline especially as to how they will effect our waters.
