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

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.
Larry Geller, Commodore

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.

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.

Miami to Havana Race
Larry Geller aboard SusimiX
Four HISC boats par ticipated
in the first annual Miami to Havana
race. 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!

Chilly night for a perfect Chili Cook-off
We had a great turnout for the 15th Annual Chili Cook-off at Lake Boca on Feb 6th. 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.
