The Corinthians is a wonderful sailing organization that has been led for many years by very able and dedicated volunteer sailors, from Charley Erickson at the very beginning to our latest Commodore, Dieter Hugel. Our new Board of Directors consists of some terrific talent and I am looking forward to working with them. They are: Tim Fortney: Vice Commodore Louise Bienvenu: Rear Commodore Casey Grimm: Treasurer Mike Floberg: Secretary Dieter Hugel: Past Commodore Albert Bacque, John David & Skipper Chenault: Members at Large We are anxious to grow our membership this year again, and we have just added 7 new members: Jim Odom (Bella Luna, Beneteau 373) CJ Brustowitz (Baboo, Catalina 22) Dan Doran (Josie, Catalina 25) Brian Lauziere (Malibu, Catalina 27) Joel Berry (Rambunctious, J-92) Mark Arnold (Bloure', J-24) Mark Wilson (Desire, Alerion 28) A very special "Welcome Aboard" to all our new members!

Special thanks to David Bolyard of Ullman Sails for his excellent presentation on optimizing sail trim for maximum boat speed. Racing is now in full swing on both the South Shore and the North Shore. Check our web-site ( for the schedule of our races and plan to attend as many as you can. Let's try to set a record this year with maximum participation. Also, if you have any suggestions on how to increase our racing participation please let one of the board members know your ideas. Looking forward to seeing you on the water!
