Club Leadership
Showed Foresight
Establishing FCYC
By ARTHUR J. FERGUSON
FCYC Delegate
Field Club members, do you
know that you have the use of 35
other yacht clubs from the Panhandle to the Keys? In July, 1960,
the St. Petersburg Yacht Club invited representatives from leading
west coast yacht clubs to a meeting
to discuss forming a representative body to “encourage the sport
of yachting and general club activities, to promote safety afloat,
to encourage reciprocity among
qualified yacht clubs and to promote beneficial legislation.” The
Field Club was represented by Jack
Rutledge – Jim’s father. He was one
of 7 who signed the Articles of Incorporation, which was approved
by the State of Florida in July, 1961
under the name FLORIDA WEST
COAST YACHT CLUB COUNCIL,
INC. There were 13 charter members which explains why the number appears in the FCYC burgee.
In the early formative years,
several Field Club members had an
important role in establishing the
goals of the Council. They included FCYC commodores Bruff Olin
(1963), Charles Taft (1965), and Pat
Mason (1967).
Each of the 36 yacht clubs is
unique. They range from very small
where the members lend a hand to
Preparing for a day at sea are Zachary Noyes, Morgan Boylston,
Sam Sugar, Jake Neubauer and Grant LeStrange (background).
Young Sailors Learn Their Ropes
Sailing is a great way for kids
to learn appreciation for the water
and nature. For we rely on wind to
move our boats. Every week we take
the kids all over the bay, from Lido
Beach to Marina Jacks. Our goal is
for the sailors to not only learn how
to sail but to appreciate the water.
The camp is going fantastic! Every
week the kids get to rig their boats
and sail to new places. The more
the kids come to camp the better
they become. It’s amazing to see
the improvement in their sailing in
just one week. So far we’ve had five
successful sessions and still have
two weeks left to go! If you haven’t
signed your kids up and are interested, the August 8th session has
a few spots left! Sailing is a blast
–come on out and watch the kids!
large and elegant clubs with outstanding facilities. Many have tennis courts and a few even have golf
courses. A few brief examples: The
Moorings Club in Vero Beach was
totally destroyed in the 2004 hurricane. They built at 54,000 square
foot new one at a cost of $17 million
which rivals a Ritz Carlton without
guest bedrooms. The Florida Yacht
Club in Jacksonville was established in 1876 and has a rich history. The Halifax River Yacht Club

Over the years I’ve noticed that
life is like a duck crossing a pond:
on the surface it appears effortless,
but there’s a lot of hard paddling
beneath the surface. Committees
at The Club work this way. They
continue to be the heart and soul
of our institution. An update of
some of the Committees activities
follows:
Grounds, headed by Irene Page
along with the Budget & Finance
Committee, is working on demolition of the two houses at the entrance to The Club. The Budget &
Finance Committee review showed
the houses to be a cash flow drain
even if rented. Demolition should
start some time in September by
which time the landscape plan
should be completed. The simple
process of knocking down two
houses becomes complicated when
wells, pumps, electric, drainage
and irrigation systems must be
considered. Both short and long
term plans for our Club’s entrance
are being considered at this time.
The Budget & Finance Committee, headed by Jim Keller, is beginning its budgeting process for next
year. Financial results for the first
six months of 2011 have beaten the
budget. Given present economic
conditions, a special “job well done”
is in order for all the hard working
staff and management.
Membership
Development,
headed by Frank Strelec, continues
to work on new membership opportunities. They are now working
on a survey. Year to date we have
added eleven new legacy members.
This program was concluded June
30th. We are inching ever closer to
our maximum of 600 members.
Structural Committee, headed
by Jon Swift, is repairing the west
wall of the Grill. As happens with
old buildings, we discovered that
additional roofing support is necessary. The actual work on this project is being done by Club Member
Bobby Mitchell. This project should
be completed by September 15th.
Thank you for bearing with us during this construction period.
The Marina Committee, headed by General Howard Crowell, is
still awaiting final permits from the
Army Corps of Engineers for the
bridge to the peninsula. This Committee is also working on a new
floating dock and next year’s dredg-

this task.

M A N AG E R ’ S M E S SAG E
By BOBBY PAPAZIAN
General Manager
It’s hard to believe that summer is almost over. Time is just
flying by. Commodore Suplee has
officially completed half a year of
service and on behalf of the staff
and myself I’d like to congratulate
him on a job well done. The morale
of the employees and the membership participation in Club activities has been successful due to
his leadership. Not to mention the
Club is fiscally sound! These past
six months have been smooth sailing, and we plan for the remainder
of the year to be the same.
Speaking of smooth sailing there has been some discussion on
the classification of our Club. We
are classified as a yacht club. We
are one of the original founding
members of the Florida Council of
Yacht Clubs and should be proud
of this heritage. Our founding fathers stressed during the creation
of our Club that this also be a family club. Our strength lies in the
combination of our fine Marina, exceptional tennis program, and our
various dining venues. All three of
these enhance the social and family ambiance of the Club.
Basically, our Club has two
logos. The more prominent and
recognized by our members is the
FC. This logo was created at the beginning of our Club’s history. The
second is our Club Burgee, which
originally was a red, white and
blue marina flag. The Burgee logo
was designed when we entered the
FCYC. About three or four years
later a new design of our Burgee
was presented and approved by
our Board of Directors. We proudly fly this Burgee on our honorable
flag pole located by the Dockmasters office. It is also prominently
shown throughout the Club. Unlike the first Burgee which just had
the FC, an anchor was placed on
the newly designed flag and in the
Club’s colors in recognition of our
Yacht Club classification.
As for other club business – our
tennis court construction has been
taking shape and is looking great!
The Grill Room wall project is
moving forward as is the Marina
bridge project. Some of you have
heard that we will be demolishing
the two houses owned by the Club
in the front of our property. Once
the houses have been taken down,
landscaping will be done to enhance the entrance to our Club.
We have lots of exciting activities planned in the upcoming
months! Please refer to the calendars for all of the great happenings
and events planned for August and
September. As a reminder, the Club
will be closed for our annual shutdown starting September 17th and
will re-open October 4th. Cleaning
and maintenance projects will be
taking place during this time. We
hope you will join us October 4th
for our re-open party, the Club is
sure to be sparkling!
It’s hard to believe that there
are only 5 more months until
Christmas!
Pilot Legacy Program
Eleven new applications from
children or grandchildren of current members came in under the
Pilot Legacy Program, which ended
on June 30. The program was initiated by the Membership Development Committee as a member benefit and made available to members
by the Board for a limited time as a
pilot program. We look forward to
welcoming this next generation of
Field Club members.

day there were trips to Caya Costa,
Tarpon Lodge on Pine Island and
the Mucky Duck on Sanibel Island.
Captiva Island Yacht Club was the
scene for cocktails and the Belmont
Race followed by a great dinner. It
was a successful start to the sum-
mer season with no incidents and
lots of fun on the beautiful Florida
west coast. August 19-21 we will
be taking a short cruise down to
the Venice Yacht Club, it’s a perfect
time to join in and enjoy some great
company. Safe boating.
card. Reciprocity is especially helpful when traveling around the state
during the season when popular
restaurants are fully booked.
The FCYC publishes a “Guide to
the Clubs by Land & Water” which
gives directions to each member
club, its regulations, the types of
services that it offers and the hours
when it is open. The Guide also has
maps and a DVD. Copies are available at the club. Meade and I have
visited all of the clubs, some many
times, and we would be happy to
answer questions.
An important reminder is that
the Field Club also generates revenue when other clubs visit us.
One of the Council’s important
committees is Government Affairs.
The committee is represented by a
lobbying firm in Tallahassee which
monitors legislative activities on a
pro-active basis which can affect
council clubs. Their work has been
very effective.
We have been told that yacht
club councils similar to ours are almost unheard of in other parts of the
country. Now, at the time of the 50th
anniversary of the founding of the
FCYC, we can look back and say that
the council and The Field Club have
mutually benefited and it is a testimony to the vision of those who saw
the need for such an organization so
long ago.

There are lots of enduring traditions
at The Field Club, but the “Kenny
Toss” (into the pool) on Memorial
