MAY 2011 THE FLYC TELLTALE

Commodore‘s Column Todd Craig

Hello, Fellow Members.

April was a very busy month for

FLYC and also, a very successful

one. The Camellia Cup saw nearly

perfect sailing conditions and was

one of the best run regattas I've

seen in some time. I would like to

thank Mark Erdrich for taking

charge of the event again this year.

I would also like to thank everyone who helped with organi-

zation, scoring, race committee and hospitality for your out-

standing and invaluable efforts. Congratulations to Charles

Witcher for taking the Camellia Cup in his Banshee.

The Trans-Folsom challenge was another success in April.

We actually managed to complete the full course this year

in some highly variable conditions. There was a lot of hard

fought action on the water. Congratulations go out to Gary

Preston and crew for an outstanding debut performance in

his new Santana 20.

Wednesday night Beer Can racing begins in May. The infor-

mal activity starts at Brown's Ravine at approximately 6pm.

The Katherine Eavenson regatta is taking place at Rancho

Seco in centerboard boats on May 21st. The Notice of Race

and Registration Form should be up on the FLYC website

soon. This is a women's only race and we hope members of

all genders will show their support.

Our membership meeting this month will feature Charles

Witcher sharing some of his sailing knowledge with us. This

is guaranteed to be valuable and informative. For June, I'd

like to try something a little different for the meeting. Be

sure to check the June Telltale for more information.

On a personal note, my Wilderness 30 FUGU is finally out

of Mel Morrison's shop and back in the water at Richmond.

She has had a major re-fit, a bright red paint job and is ready

for action in the Bay.

See you on the water,

Thursday 4/14 I banked almost $4000, mostly Camellia Cup

monies. For the moment, let's ignore the checks that

were written. It feels good to have money in the bank : )

I haven't yet entered all the expenses, so a final accounting

will have to wait until next month, but it looks like we had

a financially successful weekend, not to mention the very

pleasant spring weather. It was a great weekend!!

When the checks are in the bank, and the expenses paid,

the Camellia Cup was financially about average. The club

is about $1500 ahead, mostly because of registration fees

(no costs involved this year) and raffle money (low costs).

In spite of nearly $1000 in sales, we only made about $200

on food and beverages, and less than that on t-shirts. And

that is with the GIANT discount from the catering company

because of their on-time delivery issues—an anomaly.

When all is said and done, it was an OK Cup, financially.

The fuel bill should arrive by email – today, actually (a few

minutes of keyboard pecking and mouse clicking to get the

email, open and print the pdf file) $60 –, and we need to

make a contribution to the Coast Guard for their patient,

stellar work. George and I were glad to pick up a tow line

they offered, since the wind was rapidly going away.

APRIL 2011 GENERAL MEETING

It was a well-attended meeting at Inland Sailing‖Lecture

hall.‖ Barbara and Todd Craig, Dave and Lanette Strain,

Kerry and Joyce Johnson, Stacy and Mark Werder. Jim and

Lana, Mel, Stephanie Erdrich, Scott Frederickson, Beth and

Teresa, and Drake Johnson were all eager to hear about

chartering and/or cruising to exotic locales as presented by

Gary and Karen Preston.

I have a sailing bumper sticker that says ―ATTITUDE, THIE

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ORDEAL AND ADVENTURE.‖ I

believe that the Prestons truly know how to have adven-

tures. They spoke of places that are good for chartering-

Anacortes, Bahia California, Antigua, San Juan Islands, Belize,

and Key Largo. Part of the adventure is location, but an-

other part features the on-land activities that enrich a cruis-

ing vacation. They‘ve seen flower gardens on Victoria, B C,

and manatees in Florida. On their sailing way with friends

to Cabo, there was boat trouble, (which happens from time

to time). While waiting for repairs, they discovered a wine

region in Baja, adopted a good attitude and had a great al-

ternate time. I think that story ends with public transporta-

tion Baja –style, complete with live chickens on the roof-top

of the stereo-typical Mexican bus. Most recently they were

Many FLYC members will remember college-age Travis Wil-

son from many years ago. Travis‘s dad, Charles Wilson

sailed in the Cam Cup this year. He gave an update on

Travis‘s activities since we last took note of him. Travis

used to sail on the S20 locally, but has moved onward and

upward in his sailing career. He has been a nation-wide

champion on the S20s, a Melges 32, and a Farr 40. Currently

Travis is a member of the Coronado YC. He has crewed on

a Lipton Cup yacht, and is sailing a new S 22. You can find

him, from time to time crewing for match racing out of St.

Francis YC. Travis was home grown and trained at FLYC.

Look what he is doing now.

Good luck, Travis.

...Continued from Treasurer’s Report Page 3 at the Key Lime sailing club in a beach shack. What an AD-

VENTURE! Thank you very much, Prestons, for sharing

your cruising life with the rest of us.

If you, as a FLYC member, have been missing the general

meetings, there is fun afoot. There are snacks, and a pro-

gram, a break, then a business meeting. Bring a snack to

share if you want. More importantly, bring a chair for your

own comfort. The business part of the meeting was spent

in reviewing the CamCup and prepping for the TransFol-

som.

Katherine Eavenson Regatta


45th ANNUAL CAMELLIA CUP RESULTS

El Dorado Hills, CALIF. (April 10, 2011) – Charles Witcher‘s 13-foot Banshee class dinghy, ―Ghost,‖ was an apparition that could

not be touched, as he sailed to four, first-place finishes to win the 45th Annual Camellia Cup Regatta on Folsom Lake, today.

In the forty years that Banshees have competed in the Camellia Cup, Witcher‘s win was the first regatta championship by a Ban-

shee. The 56-year-old Sacramento sailor, representing the Folsom Lake Yacht Club (FLYC), took home the Banshee class and

Open Centerboard and Camellia Cup perpetual trophies. The regatta was conducted sunny weather and light to moderate

breezes, which blew from 6 to 8 miles per hour.

Top Keelboat in the regatta was ―Prime Time‖ a Catalina 22 captained by Bob Baker, of Sacramento. The fastest Day Sailer was

―Bubba,‖ skippered by the Gold Country Yacht Club‘s Mike Gillum of Loomis. ―Fast Eddie‖ sailed by Todd Craig of FLYC proved

true to its name, winning the Santana 20 class. Winning the Open Centerboard class was a Thistle, sailed by Rumbaugh of Sacra-

mento.

45th Annual Camellia Cup Lanette and Dave Strain

It takes a fair amount of work behind the scenes to put on a

regatta. Up front, I would like to thank Stephanie Erdrich

for her efforts to arrange for the dinner and her very clever

way to keep the table cloths from becoming run-away spin-

nakers. And for keeping her cool when the catering truck

got lost for an hour. I would like to thank Mike and Made-

line Rayfuse for organizing the Sunday hot dog fest. And

they did this after they got off the race course in the C22

class. My lovely wife Lanette deserves high praise for being

the trophy person, the registration person, and the kick-

butt person. Ginny Getty-Frederickson did a great job on

the t-shirts. She had some design help from friends of Stacy

and Mark Werder (thank you to her). Drake Johnson should

be at the top of the list for his efforts in acquiring the beer

wagon. Team Hart-Witcher should be at the head of the

list as well, for their extreme efforts in raising the tent. We

didn‘t need the circus elephants to help-it was all FLYC

muscle power. Thank you to Commodore Todd Craig and

his lovely wife Barbara for their leadership in presenting

computer scoring for the event. And to Karen Preston for

doing the scoring and the standings chart. Everyone who

donated raffle prizes, big THANKS. The raffle is fun, and

the money helps defray the costs of the event. The race

committee did a fabulous job. Setting the line is always a

challenge when the wind shifts so much. A huge thank you

needs to go to the Marina crew who moved the picnic ta-

bles. We could have used those elephants for that job. It‘s

amazing that picnic table wood is so heavy to lift, yet it can

still float. Kerry Johnson and his side-kicks deserve recogni-

tion for taking care of the marks for both the Cam Cup and

the TransFolsom. Another BIG THANKS goes to Mark

Erdrich for being the CRO and having to not compete for

this year. Thank you , John Poimiroo, for the great press

releases and PR work. All of these people made the re-

gatta enjoyable, but without the racers, it would just be an-

other fun party. I would especially like to thank the sailors

who came from out of town. Dean Iwahashi and Dave

Keran from Fresno., Wayne Cassingham from Santa Cruz,

Wade Hough from Palermo, Chris Rutz from Truckee,

Steve Lowery from Santa Rosa, Tim Loomis from Fairfield,

Eric Watt from Hollister, Mike Gillum from Loomis, Edu-

ardo Grisetti from San Martin, Charles Wilson from Mor-

gan Hill. To all of you local sailors, thank you for being so

supportive of this event. I know some out-of-towners were

staying with locals. That was great. See you all, and even

more, next year.

FUN HAD BY ALL; PIZZA EATEN BY ALL

The TransFolsom Champagne Challenge was held on April

23, 2011. For the first time in many years the complete

race course was traveled. This type of race, a pursuit race,

featured the varying starts dependent upon PHR ratings.

The slower boats crossed the start line at their specified

time. The RC joked that in this case, the Catalina 22s

probably should have started on Friday. The faster boats,

S20 or J22 maybe should have started on Sunday. But they

were all there on Saturday. The wind was light and was

unpredictable, but it was steady enough to actually sail the

entire race course and be finished before dark. There were

only two classes; the Santana 20s and a PHRF class. The

S20s had good representation and a new challenger-Gary

Preston on his new-to-him S20. Gary crossed the finish

line first, and won the race. Fast Eddie came in 2nd, with

Fusion taking a 3rd. Jarian Westfall, Charlie Wilson, Mark

Werder and Jim Goldberg rounded out the S20s.

In the PHRF class, Kerry Johnson on his S23 came in 1st,

followed by George Koch on the J boat, and Dave Strain on

his C22. . Jeff Pathman, a newcomer to the race on his

C22, and longtime member Clyde Lagomarsino, on his new

-to- him C25 rounded out the class.

The race committee featured James Zhang, John Speight,

Lanette Strain, and Sandy…Bob Backer‘s daughter. We had

a great time, too. I would like to thank everyone personally

for making this race so successful.

TRANSFOLSOM RESULTS 2011

There were only 2 classes for the TransFolsom, the Santana

20s and an all-inclusive PHRF fleet. Since the race was actu-

ally completed, the finishers placed in the order they

crossed the finish line. Plus, they were also scored within

their own fleet.

Results are as follow:

Place Name Elapsed time

#1 G. Preston 7:23.17 S20

#2 T. Craig 7:24.52 S20

#3 K Johnson 7:25.39 S 23

#8 M. Werder 7:54.19 S 20

#9 D. Strain 8:34.37 C 22

DNF: C. Lagomarsino, J. Pathman, J.Westfall

Gary Preston won the ―First to Finish‖ perpetual trophy.

Santana 20—Fleet 12 News Mark Werder

Wednesday Night Beer-Cans Mark Werder

FLYC summer officially kicked off last Wednesday with the

first of many Wednesday night beer-can races. For those

unfamiliar, beer can racing is informal fun open racing with-

out an R/C or the pressure of a bigger regatta. All you need

is a boat and a good attitude. We usually meet near the top

of the ramp around 6pm or on the water near the center

pin around 6:30pm. Course will be called on the water and

no official time will be kept. It's a great opportunity to prac-

tice in the evening delta breeze and meet other club mem-

bers.

For the first race of the season, mother nature presented us

with a challenge. Upon arrival the lake was as flat as a mir-

ror. In attendance we had three keel boats, a Ranger 23

owned by Mike Meyers, a Catalina 25 owned by Drake

Johnson and I was lucky enough to borrow Jim Goldberg‘s

Santana 20. Todd and Barbara Craig put their Banshees to-

gether and waited for wind that never filled in and opted to

head home. The three keel boats motored to the South

Fork in search of wind and were finally rewarded with a

light northern breeze coming from up river. We all managed

to get in a couple tacks and ended the day with a good long

spinnaker run back to the marina.

I certainly learned a couple of lessons while on the water..

1: If you borrow a boat, check the fuel tank..

2: If you run out of gas, hail Mike on his Ranger 23 as he had

an extra fuel tank.

3: If you borrow a boat, pay attention to the motor type, 2

or 4 stroke

4: If you need oil for a 2-stroke, hail Mike again since he

apparently has 2-stroke oil as well despite having a 4-stroke

motor (which had me wondering what else Mike had on-

board)

Mike certainly saved the day and I owe him a six pack for

sure.

If you are on the fence about racing, get out to Folsom on

Wednesday night. It‘s no pressure and despite the wind

challenge, we all had a blast. We even met a potential new

member who crewed on Mike‘s boat. He was able to make

the crew connection through the FLYC facebook page. If

you are looking for crew or to be crew, check it out.

April was certainly a good month to be a Santana 20 owner

on Folsom Lake. Action Action Action!!

For Camellia Cup we started 5 Santana 20‘s which is less

than last years numbers but those that came out were not

disappointed. The sun was out and the wind kept every boat

moving competitively. Congratulations to Todd and Barbara

Craig for taking first place in the 20 class. There was plenty

of close action at the starts and during the very last race we

saw the wind die as the fleet neared the finish. I understand

that several of our members had conflicts that weekend,

hopefully that won‘t be the case next year. The race com-

mittee did an excellent job running the race and I didn‘t

hear a single negative comment from anyone. I‘ll let the

picture below speak for how good the conditions were..

Next up, our class dominated the ranks at the Trans-Folsom

regatta with 7 S20‘s starting. Unlike some years, we were

able to complete the full 21 miles. Congratulations to our

newest 20 owner Gary Preston who also finished in 1st

place . The course and wind certainly kept everyone guess-

ing as we would go from a flat water lull to enough wind to

wipe out spinnakers. All the competitors stayed focused for

those 7+ hours and after 21 miles, three of the 20‘s ended

in a photo finish with only 10 seconds separating them.

At the end of May, at least two of our local boats will be

travelling to the Whiskeytown Regatta near Redding CA.

Check the calendar for other well attended S20 events this

summer like High Sierra and of course the Class Champion-

ships.

Way to go Banshees! The overall winner of the 45th Annual

Camellia Cup Regatta, April 9th & 10th, was won by Charles

Witcher with four first place finishes, sailing his Banshee

‗Ghost.‘ Also, the Banshees had the biggest fleet in the re-

gatta; 8 boats. And three racers were from outside the

Sacramento area; Vacaville, Hollister, and Santa Cruz.

Clearly the Banshee fleet is one of the more active / com-

petitive fleets and growing larger each year.

Speaking of being active, don‘t forget the

‗Wednesday night beer can races‘ have started. Todd and

Barbara Craig came out just this past Wednesday to race

their Banshees against three keel boats. Although the wind

was light that evening (the boats went up to the South Fork)

this is the best time of the year for this kind of casual/fun

activity; light breezes and not too hot – yet.

The next big Banshee event will be the Whiskey-

town Regatta, May 28th & 29th, near Redding, California.

Several racers, eight so far, have said they plan to attend. In

addition, several other FLYC members will also be compet-

ing in this regatta, which means there will be a large social

gathering Friday and Saturday night at the FLYC / Banshee

compound. So, no matter what boat you have come on up

and join in the fun.

BANSHEES – fun people, fun times.
