OCTOBER 2010 THE FLYC TELLTALE

Commodore‘s Column Mark Erdrich

This has been one of the best years

for fall sailing I‘ve seen in many

years! Lots of water, the wind has

blown for every race (though it did

die out at the end of the Governor‘s

Cup), and temperatures in the 80‘s!

Perfect weather!

But, where were the boats? 4 boats

for the Governor‘s Cup! 4 boats for

Fall Series Race #1, and 5 boats (4 of them Santana 20s!) for

Fall Series Race #2. And strangely enough, between all

three races, just one centerboard boat!

There are just 2 more races scheduled for the year, so try

to make it out to one or both. Fall Series #3 is on Saturday,

October 16th, while Fall Series #4 is on Sunday, October

31st (yes, Halloween!)

The FLYC annual banquet is next month, on November 13th.

It will be held at Cattlemens restaurant in Rancho Cordova.

There are a few important topics which will be discussed

and voted upon. These topics are important to the future

of the club, so please try to attend.

One of those topics will be a discussion of the ideas sur-

rounding a new clubhouse. Elsewhere in this newsletter is a

paper put together by Mel Morrison, with contributions

from Todd Craig, Scott Fredrickson, and Steve Galeria.

Please read this paper and join in on the discussions at the

group discussion site. This topic can affect every member of

FLYC as well as the future of the club. Please do yourself

and every other member of the club by making your opinion

heard and hearing other‘s opinions. Even if you are for the

idea, against the idea, or don‘t have a clue what you think! I

know I‘ve only been involved in the club for about 8 years,

but this is easily the biggest change that the club has dis-

cussed in the years I‘ve been around, and probably in many

years before that.

You should also be receiving an email message with an invi-

tation to join the group discussion. This is the best possible

place to get your voice heard before the discussion and vote

at the Annual Banquet, so please join the discussion.

Another topic of discussion and possible voting will be the

idea of working with the Sacramento Delta Youth Maritime

Association to manage a small fleet of keelboats and estab-

lishing a new level of FLYC membership to use those boats.

Not much has been said about this, but I think it can be a

real benefit to the club by increasing our revenue and our

Another month?? Already?? Again, there has been almost

no financial activity this month. In October our B of A CD

will mature.

I have been requested to estimate how much money would

be available for the clubhouse project, and a rough estimate

would be $16,000 maximum. That would be the $7000

CD, and the balance of our checking account at it lowest

point in the year, another $8-9000. The bigger financial

problem I see is that while it might be nice to have a club-

house, there are ongoing expenses--insurance (5% of the

structure's value) and storage fees--that would be partially

offset by our existing wet slip fees. Because our yearly

profit the last few years has averaged only $1500, this extra

expense will almost certainly have to be covered by addi-

tional members. Club members need to consider the cur-

rent economy, the fact that there are fewer sail boats in

the marina slips every year, the cost of entry to the park

keeps going up, and the leisure activity universe continues to

fragment meaning fewer people will be interested in sailing,

and especially sailboat racing.

Treasurer‘s Report Scott Fredrickson

boats and establishing a new level of FLYC membership to

use those boats. Not much has been said about this, but I

think it can be a real benefit to the club by increasing our

revenue and our membership. I‘ve recently talked to a cou-

ple of current members who are thinking about a new boat.

They both wanted a smaller boat to race with their spouses

(or others) here at Folsom and at various other venues in

the area. But, they also wanted a small cruising boat for

overnighters at the lake. When I mentioned this proposal,

in both cases the light came on and they realized they could

get their cake and eat it too! Something like this is how we

make the club more valuable to a bigger audience.

The final topic is something that comes up every year and

that is the election of new officers. As I mentioned earlier,

I‘ve been involved with the club for about 8 years, and have

been either Vice Commodore or Commodore for 5 of

those years. I‘ve reached my limit and need to step down

for awhile. And, if you hadn‘t noticed, our Vice Commo-

dore‘s business picked up greatly, which is good for him, but

he‘s been unable to be involved with club activities for the

last few months. (And, if you recall, a very similar thing hap-

pened last year too).

A nomination committee is being formed to identify people

who might be interested in becoming an officer of the club.

Let me know if you are interested in being on that commit-

tee or, better yet, being an officer of FLYC next year.

THE FLYC TELLTALE OCTOBER 2010

If the bill that adds a few dollars to every automobile license

in exchange for free entry to State parks manages to be-

come law, it might make a difference in regatta attendance.

It certainly wouldn't hurt. And the economy will improve.

Soon, we hope. But still…..

The club has been around for 50 years, and yet has a net

worth of less than $50,000. While located in Gold Coun-

try, and the lake flooded picked-over gold fields, it isn't ex-

actly a gold mine.

P.O. Box 156

The first shoe has dropped on the subject of banking fees.

The issue has been in the news. Included in our two B of A

account statements were 'Pricing Changes' brochures.

Currently both accounts are free, and images of checks are

included in the statement. Usually they are only 2 pages,

and we almost never have more than a dozen checks a

month (3 this month). The big push is for online banking, in

which case the images are free, but in any case there may be

a charge on the accounts, but apparently the charges haven't

been finalized and info will be provided later. That's the

second shoe. And, of course, I spent $75 for new checks

earlier in the summer based on the assumption they would

last many, many years.

A curious email arrived at [email protected]. From

Pakistan. Advertising, and offering samples, of what look

like decent quality sailing gloves with free logos, probably

embroidered. Wouldn't it be way cool to be able to buy,

say, 100 pairs with the FLYC logo on it to pass on to club

members, or use as trophies or gifts??

Please send in your reservations to the Annual Awards Ban-

quet early. David and I will be out of town, (BVIs) until a

few days before the banquet. I need to send in a head count

early enough that we have the minimum attendance cov-

ered. Remember, the cost also covers 18% gratuity and

taxes. Please bring a donation for the raffle. This year‘s

event should be great, as usual.

you are interested.

Plan ahead for the upcoming membership renewal. I may not

have the big powers of fund raising behind me like PBS, but

FLYC does need your support in order to maintain the club

insurance and slip fees, the awards, and the miscellanies that

go into maintaining a club that we take pride in. Member-

CATALINA FLEET 4 NEWS

Participation in FLYC racing has been down this summer.

The C22 has a great reputation for being a family camper.

So, that is what the C22s were doing this summer. Some

went to the San Juan Islands for a week or two. Some went

to Union Valley to watch meteors fly through the sky during

the annual August meteor shower. A few went to out of

town regattas, such as Gold Country Regatta or the Annual

Catalina Rendezvous.

We will start the New Year with resolve to ―be there‖ for

one-design racing.

Banshee Beat Steve Galeria

Interest in the Banshee Fleet #1 and local racing is continu-

ing to build!

I recently received, from two local racers, a request to help

find at least two good Banshees; i.e., sound transom,

smooth hull, glass foils, trailer, etc. I know there are lots of

Banshees in the area, but not all of them are raced regu-

larly. In fact, I know there are some really good boats that

are gracefully ageing in their owner‘s garage, much to the

dismay of the owner‘s spouse. So, I sent an email out to the

fleet members and received a very positive response, which

has resulted in two new active members; Todd Craig

bought Dwight Odom‘s boat #1308 and Mark Werder

bought Chuck vonSchalscha‘s boat #8062.

Also, Dean Eppley has become an active Banshee racer

again. He bought Bob Backer‘s boat #8212, and promptly

won the Centerboard Regatta. Now he‘s reworking the

mailto:[email protected]

the boat to make it even more competitive and will be, as

always, tough to beat in any race.

In addition to the two boats we found for Todd and Mark

there are two additional ‗race ready‘ boats for sale. Both

boats are in very good to excellent condition, good sails,

have all the go fast stuff, and come with trailers. This is an-

other opportunity to get two more boats back in action. If

you know of someone looking for a Banshee or just thinking

about getting into some serious ‗fun,‘ have them get in

touch with me and I‘ll put them in contact with two serious

sellers. One of these boats will be going on Craig‘s List in

the next two weeks and may go out of the area, so act fast.

Don‘t forget the ‗coming events‘ in October; the Fall Series

Race #3 on October 16th (Saturday), and the Fall Series #4

on October 31st (Sunday). Hope to see you there. Word

has there will be a new race course introduced on the 16th;

the ‗Harry A Corse.‘ And, on November 7th (Sunday)

there‘s the Lake Washington Turkey Shoot Regatta.

Well, that covers the high points and remember,

“Don’t be afraid, we’re just having fun.”


Banshee Beat—Continued from page 3...

September 18th saw the first of the FLYC Fall Series races

take place in beautiful sailing conditions. Winds varied a bit

on either side of 10 knots, temperatures were in the low

80s and the sky was a deep blue full of fluffy white clouds.

To cap it off, there was very little power traffic on the lake.

Inexplicably, only 4 boats turned out to race. Todd & Barb

Craig double-handed their S20 Fast Eddie and Mark & Stacy

Werder raced their 20, Reaction, along with crew Theo.

Phil and Theresa Hodgson on the Wavelength 24 and Rob

Cram in his Banshee rounded out the rest of the competi-

tors. Your Commodore, Mark Erdrich, was left to run Race

Committee by himself and did an outstanding job.

There was no danger of an over-early at the first start and

Phil put his skill and boat speed to work taking the bullet for

the first race. The second start was a bit more aggressive

(the caffeine must have kicked in) as the Craigs peeled Phil

off at the committee boat while Reaction hit the line with

good speed. This was a double A course and Fast Eddie

worked the windier West side of the lake to advantage and

took the bullet for the second race. The third race was a

single A course and the wavelength worked the shifts ag-

gressively to edge out Fast Eddie by 11 seconds corrected at

the finish.

Rob Cram had the centerboard division locked in with 3

bullets.

Final scores: 1st: Hodgson 1,2,1

2nd Craig 2,1,2

3rd Werder 3,3,3

Ctbd. 1st Cram 1,1,1

Fall has some of the best sailing on Folsom lake and Fall Se-

ries 2 is Sunday, October 3rd. Don't miss it!

Fleet 12 Party – The end of 2010 is creeping up on us and

it is time to schedule the Fleet 12 end of the year party.

Mark and Stephanie Erdrich have graciously volunteered to

host again. The party will be held on December 3rd, 7:30

pm at 9497 Heathman Way in Elk Grove, CA 95624. All

past, present and future Santana 20 sailors are invited to

join in the fun and help us celebrate this years' accomplish-

ments and plan for 2011. The fleet is re-instating the mem-

ber registration, so bring $20 with you. Your registration

form will be your raffle ticket for a prize that all will be able

to enjoy at the party. This is a potluck affair, so bring along

an appetizer to share with everyone. Individual members

may be contacted for additional contributions. See you all

there.

Santana 20 Fleet 12 News Todd Craig


We had eight boats competing for the 2010 Governor's

Cup on Saturday, 9/11 ; three Banshees sailed by Rob

Cram, Steve Galeria and Tim Loomis, two Santana 20s skip-

pered by Jason Crowson and Mark Werder, a Wavelength

24 sailed single handed by Phil Hodgins, a Catalina 22 skip-

pered by Dave Strain and a Corsair F24 skippered by Gerry

Grant.

Race Committee captain was Mark Erdrich, with help from

Barb Craig and James Zhang. With the center mark miss-

ing, RC used Mark Erdrich's GPS to find the location of the

center and anchored to setup the start line, while Mark

made sure all the other marks were in position.

It was a beautiful day on the lake sunny and only in the up-

per 80s, although we could have used more wind.

RC sent the Red Keel fleet off on an A6 with a light but

constant breeze. Phil Hodgins split right soon after the

start, which proved to be the right choice as he lead the

entire race to pick up the first, followed by Gerry, Mark,

Dave and Jason. Banshee's were started on an A6 as well,

after a 5 minute delay to give them all a chance to reach the

start line. Steve picked up the first, followed by Tim and

then Rob.

For the second race, the wind had clocked right, so RC sent

the fleets off on an A7. We really wanted an A6.5. RC

changed the starting order to start the Banshees first. Rob

Cram had a very nice start right at the pin. The breeze was

dying so it was a slow beat up to mark 7, it came back in at

the mark and filled in to push the fleets down to the bottom

mark, only to become light and fluky again. There were a

few place changes during the race but the final finish order

was the same as the first race at the finish line.

By this time the wind had become really light to non-

existent. RC debated calling it a day or sending the fleet on

another race and then shortening the course. With a small

wind line coming in, we elected to send the fleets on an-

other A7. After the start, RC sent Mark up to mark 7 to fly

the F flag to call for a round and finish as the wind line didn't

fill as we hoped. Same finish order as the first two races,

with one exception; Jason finished ahead of Mark.

After the race, there were drinks and snacks at the club-

house. Phil Hodgins, with three firsts in the Red Keel won

the Governor's Cup. Mark Erdrich will post the full results.

Overall results on the next page:

Catalina Fleet 4 News Michael Rayfuse

I must be confused, my Crepe Myrtles are blooming but the

calendar says it‘s Fall. Where did the summer go? I guess

life‘s like a roll of toilet paper-it goes faster near the end.

Now is the time for all good sailors to return their perpet-

ual trophies and for all Board members to report the sea-

sons tally for fleet activities. i.e. cruise participation points

and race points. I want to avoid the last minute rush I put

myself through last year, getting the trophies ready for the

year end banquet.

The board will be meeting earlier than usual next month to

put a wrap on this year‘s business and prepare for the next

year, and the October meeting at the Fair Oaks Library on

October the 14th will finalize officer selections for next year.

There will be a presentation on Quagga Mussels and how to

keep them in check; an issue of great economic importance

within the State. Eventually there will probably be a tracking

system for all boats entering the fresh water systems of

California, or expensive inspections that will also be time

consuming, frustrating and ineffective. It‘s the future of Cali-

fornia boating, so come get edumakated about clams.

Now that, what feels like spring, has arrived, go sailing-

there‘s plenty of water at Folsom Lake and the summer

doldrums are gone. There is also the Fleet Week Cruise in

October to give you an excuse to go sailing. Get out there-

enjoy, the T/P roll is showing the cardboard tube on this

season.

Sorry I missed the last general meeting, but I had a date with

a surgeon that left me in stitches. I looked like the Graf

Zeppelin Tuesday after Labor Day , and felt like the Hinden-

burg on Wednesday. Coming to the meeting Thursday, to-

tally tubulated and wacked out on my drug of choice was

beyond my endurance, so I chose instead, to sleep it off.

Keep in mind the annual banquet coming early this year, to

beat the thanksgiving/Xmas rush, will be on the 6th of No-

vember. Tested the food last week-um, um, good!

It was a beautiful day. Sunny, highs in the 80‘s, and wind

between 4-10 knots all day! So where were the boats?

Only 4 boats made it out for Fall Series Race #1! Rob Cram

was the sole centerboard boat, while Mark Werder and

Todd Craig sailed their Santana 20s and Phil Hodgson sailed

his Wavelength 24.

When the first race started, it appeared the keelboats were

afraid of the little Banshee. Rob was right on the line at the

start, but the others were all 15 seconds or more away

from the line. However, Rob had a bad tack right after the

start and almost got run over by Mark. Avoiding the

Santana 20 left Rob in irons, but he managed to avoid the

collision! Phil headed left (following the local knowledge

when going to mark 4), and led the boats at the first mark

and the rest of the way with Todd in 2nd and Mark in 3rd.

Rob recovered from the near collision to win the center-

board class.

To keep the waiting to a minimum, I ended up starting the

Banshee separately from the keelboats and sent him on a

different course. Rob did great both of the other races,

winning both!

The keelboats were are little more competitive. The 2nd

race featured much improved starts (now that the Banshee

wasn‘t there to scare them away from the line!) Todd was

able to force Phil to cross behind him at the start and was

the first across the line. Once again, Phil used his local

knowledge and went left while the 2 Santana 20s went right.

This time the local knowledge was wrong, with Todd finding

extra pressure and better shifts and led at the first mark,

with Mark and Phil rounding overlapped. Phil managed to

pass Todd downwind, but on the long beat back to the

weather mark (it was a double ‗A‘ course), once again Todd

found the good wind to lead at the mark. Phil caught up

going downwind, and managed to cross the finish line ahead,

but Todd easily saved his time and corrected out in 1st

place. Mark was just behind in 3rd.

The final race started was another ‗A‘ since the wind was

dropping a little more. The 3 keelboats all had there best

start of the day, lined up and right at the line. For the 3rd

time that day, Phil went left and the others went right. This

time, however, it really paid off. He had a big lead at the

weather mark and never looked back. Following behind was

Todd in 2nd and Mark in 3rd.

Race Report—Fall Series #1 Sept 18, 2010


Clubhouse Proposal

FLYC members,

For some time now, the board has been studying the possibility of creating a physical clubhouse in some fashion. There have been

several variations of this topic and one has (so far) survived the test of time and discussion. This letter is intended to present to

you as FLYC members, a concept of those efforts and discussions.

The board proposes to find and purchase a ‘distressed’ houseboat of some 40-50 feet in length, single story, move

it to a yard where it could be remodeled and rehabilitated to meet our needs and finally relocate it to the marina

at Folsom Lake. There it would be placed permanently in the storage lot located above the launch ramp in the

area where we have placed the large tent for Camellia Cup. The marina has agreed to this and has further offered

to allow a connection to their electrical service. This structure would then be used as any clubhouse might be. We

would be able to heat and cool the interior space. However, there would not be any plumbing available, that func-

tion would have to be left at the restrooms at the top of the ramp.

We have established a discussion group for the purpose of engaging the membership in a conversation about this proposal. The

board hopes that this discussion will bring out support and dissent alike to better gauge the interest of our membership and iden-

tify positives and negatives we haven‘t considered. You will need to register on-line to participate in this discussion group, please

do so. The board will be asking for a vote on this proposal, in a form that will be driven by this discussion, at our annual awards

dinner in November.

This group discussion site can be found at:

http://groups.google.com/group/flyc-clubhouse/sub?s=ZdyHMgwAAABzreYdqjnsu7KvjHIPIcxc&hl=en

Below are some points of discussion, please feel free to open additional ones, regarding a possible FLYC clubhouse to be located at

Browns Ravine Marine at Folsom Lake. These are presented in no particular order. The board is requesting a discussion among

the members of FLYC as to these points, and others, so that an informed discussion may occur at the annual dinner in November.

We need to hear your thoughts, ideas, and suggestions in regard to this matter. If we as a club proceed with this matter, it would

likely represent the largest expense of money and members time to date. Please do not let this decision happen without your in-

put. Your board is listening.

Let‘s start with the most obvious.

Money.

The total cost of the purchase, move and rehabilitation cannot be known until we find a suitable boat to buy. The concept is to

look for a vessel at a price of $5000.00 or less. This price point is absolutely arbitrary. We had to start somewhere. (There have

been two suitable boats seen in this price range this year). We will also seek the donation of such a boat. Cost of the move is

based on distance; it will depend on where this boat is found. If the boat is within 100 miles of Sacramento, cost of the move is

about $2500.00. The rehabilitation costs cannot be known. The concept of the Board is to purchase materials with FLYC funds and

members would provide the skills where possible.

Current club financials.

We have a $7000 CD up for renewal this month (October), and about $10000 in the bank. Our lowest bank balance for the year

was in the $8000-9000 range, and our account has a $4000 daily minimum, (after which we pay $13/mo., or $156/year--or almost 1

membership).

It's important to keep in mind that the club doesn't make that much

money a year--only about $1500, usually less, and we are running out of options to cut expenses.

Insurance would be $355 for a $7000 facility, and there would likely be other costs as well, even if the existing slip fees vs. new

slip/storage fees were similar.

Access.

The clubhouse would be available to all FLYC members and their guests during FLYC sponsored events. It would not be open to

members or guests on an unlimited basis. As we are proposing that alcohol would be stored in the clubhouse, access would need

to be controlled by grownups, (remember being 17?), and at this point of the discussion those grownups would be some combina-

tion of board members.

http://groups.google.com/group/flyc-clubhouse/sub?s=ZdyHMgwAAABzreYdqjnsu7KvjHIPIcxc&hl=en


Continued from page 8… Clubhouse Proposal

Use.

The clubhouse would be used for monthly meetings, skippers meetings, protest meetings, award ceremonies, Wednesday night sail

gatherings, FLYC parties, approved FLYC member parties, etc.

Longevity.

We are proposing to park our clubhouse on land we don‘t own. In conversations with the current marina management, we have

received an enthusiastic response to the idea, primarily because we would be moving the existing shed off the dock. The marina

has offered to allow a connection to their electrical service and provide free power. They will want some rental income based on

the space we would occupy, which would be offset somewhat by moving off the dock. Exact dollar amount of the difference is not

known. The marina concession is open for periodic bid by interested vendors and it is possible that the concession owners would

change. It is therefore possible the new concessionaire would not be as enamored with us as the current team. In addition there is

the State Park ranger. We were not planning to wave a flag in front of him and some effort would be made to look like an ordinary

houseboat in the storage lot, however, it is possible that a State Park employee of some rank might take exception after years of a

parked boat hosting parties on a monthly basis. However, this is similar to our current ‗clubhouse‘ situation.

Visibility.

We are talking about a houseboat some 50ish feet in length, 14ish feet wide, and single-deck. The deck surface would likely be sev-

eral feet above ground level requiring stairs, ramp or both to gain access. Stairs or a ramp will make the boat look rather perma-

nent. Again, the marina doesn‘t care, the State Parks likely would. We don‘t have a work-around solution for this although a re-

tractable ramp has been discussed.

Rehabilitation/Remodel.

What we are proposing is a box shaped like a houseboat. We would gut the interior walls and create an open meeting space/

multipurpose space. There can be no plumbing as water and sewer service will not be available. The bathroom would be the rest-

room at the top of the ramp. There would be storage space inside for club ‗stuff‘, wall space for trophy cabinets, paintings of long

ago commodores in blue suits, refrigerator, bar-b-que space on a front or aft deck, burgees hanging from the ceiling, etc. A large

issue of this point is ‗where‘. We would need a space to park a 50 X 14 foot box for some months while this work is performed.

There are such places available, mostly in the north area. Monthly rental looks to be $200.00 a month or so. We cannot perform

any work at the marina. (See Visibility)

Scope of rehab imagined.

Interior walls removed as possible, flooring replaced with a easily cleaned surface, window coverings installed to block the curious

passer-by, security shutters installed inside these windows, hull exterior painted, interior walls finished and painted, entire box re-

wired to accept 120 ac, ground access built, wall cabinets built and installed, portraits painted, et al.

Comfort.

We would need to burn something during cold weather months to warm the interior space. Propane heater looks to be the most

likely candidate for this. (Someone needs to fill the tank). During the balmy summer months at Folsom Lake, an evaporative cooler

is the most likely appliance due to low operation cost.

Maintenance.

Someone will need to keep this box in shape. That would be us. The interior will need to be cleaned as needed by some group of

FLYC members; the exterior will need to be maintained (paint, deck surface, replace broken windows, clean the refrigerator, etc),

floors mopped. Will this be a new committee?

Some additional random thoughts:

We have been a paper club since inception and are today. Is this a problem? Do the members of FLYC want a physical presence?

Will we use this facility? Will this encourage new members? Will it inspire existing members? Will there be no measurable effect?

Please provide the membership at large with thoughts on these and other issues not raised here. All members need to be heard;

all viewpoints need to be considered. The future of the club is ours. What do we want and what are we willing to do to achieve

that end?
