March - Hillsboro Inlet Sailing Club
HILLSBORO INLET SAILING CLUB March 2016 From The Helm By Larry Geller Commodore Third Try AHOY HISC members and guests. I want to start my year by thanking our membership and the Board for giving me this opportunity to be your Commodore. It is an honor! I also want to thank the past commodores who have helped groom me for this position and set me off on the right direction. Without their help this would be overwhelming! It is hard to believe that we have been members of the club for 12 years! In our first year, we just came out for the races and brought the kids to Youth Sailing. We rarely attended an after race party (we didn’t win much in the early years!), a dinner dance or other events. As we got to know other members, they invited us to participate in other events, and our circle of friends grew rapidly. As our circle grew, so did our chance to experience new adventures on the water. We began doing distance races – first the Palm Beach Race, then Key Largo and later the Fort Lauderdale to Key West Continued on Page 2 Lighthouse Point, Florida Inside This Issue From the Helm 1&2 Club Events/Racing/Information 3 Membership/Racing 4 Miami to Havana Race Report 5 General Meeting Program 6 Hillsboro Inlet Depths 6 Change of Command Raft Up Flyer 7 Bill Nederlanden Race Flier 8 Club Photos 9 Chili Cook Off Review 10 St. Patricks Day Flyer 11 Crew Pool 12 Club Classifieds 13 Advertising 14 Calendars 18 Race. We also began cruising, spending nights on the boat and taking trips to participate in RTIA. The camaraderie and added security of sharing these adventures with close friends has been amazing! Over the past few years, we became more involved, serving as race chairman, joining the board and being nominated to be Commodore. It has been great watching the club grow stronger over these years, and with the hard work Suzi and her team, I feel like I am taking the helm of a blue water ship! Our membership is up, and we have had standing room only attendance at our General Meetings. Our finances are strong, and most importantly, we have a great group of many volunteers who have been hard at work planning some exciting events. Here are some highlights of for the next few months: BROWARD CUP/ST PATRICKS DAY CRUISE – your racing and cruising committees have been organizing a plan to combine these events into an awesome weekend of fun – March 12 – 13. BLOOD DRIVE – This has always been a special event for me, and I would love to see a record take this year – let’s go for Sixty Pints! HOSPICE FUN DAY – is a new event designed to help raise big bucks for Hospice, separate and apart from the Hospice Regatta. It is scheduled for Friday, May 6. THANK YOU to all of the volunteers who are making these events possible, and remember, the club can only give to you what you give to the club, so if you are not currently on a committee, and want to get involved, please just let us know and we will find a spot for you. Another way that I would like EVERYONE to help our volunteers is to make an effort to sign up early for our various events. Many of us wait till the last minute to register for a race, reserve a table at a dinner dance or commit to a cruise. Doing this last minute makes the committees’ jobs much more difficult, so please, let’s all try to show our appreciation for their efforts by being prompt! Thank you.

The Board member who did the interview was 1 Year Director Graham Danvers. By Patricia and Robert Schuldenfrei Esprit du Vent New Members Wolfram & Yolita Ripoll ar e now members of the HISC. Yolita started sailing at age 10 with her father, in a 23’ wooden sailboat her father built himself. Later she sailed competitively in Snipes and won the Caribbean Pan-American cup in 1972. Wolfram too started sailing with his father off the coast of Cartagena, Colombia. They got married in 1977 and continue sailing both competitively as well as for pleasure. They lived in Virginia Beach for 15 years where their kids were raised. Wolfram & Yolita continue to race the regatta season in Cartagena in a Beneteau First 447 January to April. When back in Florida they sail Attitude Adjustment, a Beneteau Cyclades 50. Their sponsors are Peter Gustafson and Tom Garvey. The Board member who did the interview was 2 Year Director Judy Whittaker. Roster Updates Ripoll, Wolfram & Yolita 2770 NE 8 Court Pompano Beach, FL 33062 Attitude Adjustment – Beneteau Cyclades 50 (954) 495-5079 Cell: (305) 798-1389 [email protected] Member since: 2016 Jason & Andrea Soldini have joined our club. They have grown up and lived in the area all their lives. Their family has always enjoyed a boating lifestyle. Their children are ages 5, 10, 17, and 19 and all love boating. In 2008, Jason stumbled into sailing when he couldn't pass up a 14' Sail Cat catamaran for only $200. After some time sailing it locally and in Biscayne Bay, Indian River Lagoon, and Big Pine key, Jason dreamed of a bigger sailing vessel. In 2011, he purchased a MacGregor 25 retractable keel trailable sailboat named Lulu II. Jason's downfall is that his sense of adventure usually overshadows that of his family’s and is generally bigger than a boat this size can accommodate. He is considering changing the vessel name to Bigger Dreams. Their sponsors are Dale Kern and Graham Danvers. The Board member who did the interview Soldini, Jason & Andrea 1400 NW 46 St. Ft.

This 210 mile ocean race was sponsored by SORC and the Storm Trysail Club who did a great job of working out the challenging logistics for this new event. I raced aboard SusimiX with Michael Carrington, Eduardo Rabadan, Alan Katz, Greg Galanis and Brian Broad. Our adventure started on Wednesday morning as we prepared for our departure from Coconut Grove. With several news crews on the docks taking video, photos and interviewing crew members, it was one of the most exciting departures that I can remember! We raced in PHRF B. There were a total of 13 boats in our class, and as the slowest rated boat in the group, we knew that we had our work cut out for us. The race started in very light air, and had a great first leg as we pulled away from many of the boats in our fleet. Later that evening, the wind started to build and we were passed by a few of the faster rated boats, but felt like we were keeping most of them in range through the night. By dawn on Thursday, we were getting close to Key West and needed to make the big decision on where to cross the Gulf Stream. Some boats had gone early – they were sailing a direct course but fighting the current for many hours. We elected to wait, and then worked south as quickly as we could, trying to take the current on the beam rather than head on. There were many hours of doubt during the day, and we lost track of many of our competitors, but as we approached the finish, and heard other boats calling in, we realized that we had gained a lot of ground and eventually took Third Place in our class! The most daring move among the HISC boats was made by Grand Cru. Danny and his crew went WAY west, caught some favorable currents, and took FIRST PLACE in PHRF class D. Congratulations are also due to Contrails and Sempre Amantes for completing the course in some very big seas! Full results are available here http://www.yachtscoring.com/event_results_detail.cfm? Race_Number=1&eID=1545 and the tracks of various boats can be viewed here http:// kws.kattack.com/GEPlayer/GMPosDisplay.aspx?FeedID=1519 Larry Geller 5 H.I.S.C Program March 10th.

Twelve club boats rafted up, accompanied by a number of other club members and made their final preparations for the contest. Nine pots of steaming chili and their “fixins” were displayed aboard host boat Adelante. Co-host Kokomo displayed the appetizers and desserts, encouraging the HISC fiesta to move between the catamarans. Samples were taken to the “judging salon” aboard Kokomo where Commodore Susi Wehe and Rear Commodore Hector Arrillaga judged the anonymous samples while everyone else was invited to enjoy the spicy feast with yummy side dishes and desserts. Eileen Winchell of Kokomo announced the winners: Hottest Edible: Persistence- cook: Bill Zimmer Best Presentation: Adelante- cook: Nancy Danvers Tastiest: Duet- cook: Colleen Stolberg Cheshire (Jeff Miskin) and Sea Dragon (Bill Wilson) Tastiest Honorable Mentions: As we settled in for a fine evening of camaraderie and laughter, the temperature began to fall and after a while a rainsquall or two. The crew aboard Duet treated us with a round of hot buttered rum to warm us up! Our spirits were again lifted and we carried on. Other HISC member boats who rafted up: Endeavour, Shoal Mate, Glory Daze, Spruce Goose, Eximius, Wind Angel, and carrying members from Jolly I, Alibrije and Popoki. 10 11 Crew KING for Boats Cindy Kehoe – Able bodied “crew person” would like to join other HISC sailors for fun in the sun racing/ cruising.
