Wednesday Night Racing is for Softies? Right?By Allen HillWrong. There may be “no spinnakers” and a heavy emphasis on beer and pizza in the Pilot House afterwards but the intrepid sailors who sailed the Wednesday night race on August 8, 2007 gained enormously in experience and kudos The first omen thatthings were not quite as usual was that the Committee boat refused to start. After some wheeling and ducking close to the notionalstart line, Sue Hardy and “Jaguar” offered to serve as race committee on the windward pin. Sue displayed a series of randomflags and started the fleet just a little later than usual. The second sign of trouble brewing was the huge and very clear double rainbow over Deer Island. This was accompanied by darkening skies over Boston and a rising wind. Usually, the Wednesday nightproblem is the drop in wind speed as sunset approaches. A few wise virgins had changed to smaller jibs but the fleet set off on thewindward leg of the course towards Castle Island in about 20 knots of breeze. Half way up the course, the wind strengthenedsteadily. “Colleen” (Allan Hill) saw 39 knots on the boat anemometer. By this time, the wind was blowing the water off the top ofthe waves and all the boats were on their ears. “Choucas” (Jeff Talbot – alone in the boat) showed us his entire keel and justavoided being pitched out of the boat. “Slow Play” (Patrick Anderson) pulled the chain plate off his bulkhead, out of the deckand broke his mast above the gooseneck. ErnieHardy in “Jaguar” shredded a jib. The survivors made the weather mark while a few turnedback to offer help to “Slow Play”. “Sailsman”(Tommy May) bore on but no-one was readyfor a gybe at the weather mark in over 40 knotsof air, going for the 360 degree turn Mercifully, no-one was injured. Spirits were restoredwith liberal applications of “dark and stormies”– as the evening in the Pilot House progressed,the wind speeds grew but just in case the members think all such tales exaggerated, here is thewind speed graph from Deer Island anemometer – 47 knots was the top gust recorded. Justlook at how quickly the wind built after 7:00pm.Lessons learned. A) Probably unwise to start arace without a committee able to cancel if conWIND RECORD 8 AUGUST 2007 - Deer Island Light, MA Fromditions really deteriorate. B) The weather eye canwww.iwindsurf.comnever compete with instruments and electronic forecasts in giving useful information to sailors. So why weren’t all the rest of you with us these Wednesday nights?The Town of Winthrop Town Pier, Marina, and Landing BusinessPlan report is expected to be completed MidOctober, according to the public council meetingheld on August 14. The draft report can be seen at www.town.winthrop,ma.us It is important forthe membership to be informed and comment onthese plans as they will effect our harbor and boating future.617-389-41201-800-462-0025New Town Pier617-389-4121Paul W.

We were sailing brothersin Turnabouts and then Snipes. Bob eventually purchased his pride and joy, a C&C 34, Mr. Smooch. Wecontinued to sail together, racing around the buoys,cruising to the Cape and Islands, and traveling to Marblehead and Portsmouth for championships.But it wasn’t Bobby’s knowledge of the race coursethat made him so popular and makes him so sorelymissed today. He was above all, a good person and agreat friend. He had a warm heart and a golden smile.Everyone should be as lucky as those who have had afriend like Bobby.I would now like to present this check to the CPYCMake-A-Wish Regatta in the amount of 7,229.

Snake Island in the FallPictures by Richard HonanIf you are looking for an interesting place to explore this fall, Snake Island is a short row from Cottage Park Yacht Club. It is aterrific nature walk and learning experience for children and adults alike. Photographic opportunities abound. The island hasgrown in size and foliage over the years. In the 80’s there was only shrub foliage, where now there are trees. There is a bigmeadow in the center of the island which hosts beautiful grasses, numerous birds and the remnants of a small shelter. At one timeCPYC wintered their marina floats on the island running the floats up onto the island during flood tides. This practice wasstopped because they could only be removed at spring flood tides. In the early morning hours of the fall season, duck hunters canbe heard seeking their prey from blinds that dot the island.Enjoy the pictures that Richard Honan took last fall and shared with the Windjammer to encourage our members to explore thebeauty and nature accessible from CPYC.View of CPYC from Snake IslandIsland tree growth bordering an islandfield Seeds blown from their pods in the wind.A grassy field rises up to the trees Snake Island is covered with drying foliageand beautiful seed pods.

Chase Race ResultsVery light winds and a strong unfavorabletide make for difficult racing. A number ofcontestants could not get past Deer IslandLight.
