1 WEST COAST YACHT CLUB March 2017 LETTER FROM COMMODORE CALENDAR OF EVENTS Ahoy WCYC: JIM MCNAMARA April Cruise to Long Beach Board Meeting scheduled for Saturday, April 29, 2017 Thanks to all who attended our March Dinner; thanks especially to Rear Commodore Blake and Tracey for the effort to make it a great night, and thanks to Vice Ed and Mindy Sicard for their work. We had new prospective members and guests, and a good time was had by all. As you probably know, each year the WCYC donates funds to various local youth sailing programs. During the March Board meeting, the Board voted and approved donations to the Long Beach Yacht Club Junior Sailing program, the Dana West Yacht Club Junior Sailing program, and to the Catalina Island Conservancy. I am particularly excited about the Conservancy donation, as Catalina Island is our go to cruise, and I think it s great that we pay it back a bit and support the Island this special way. Our donation to Dana West will include our ability to name a Sabot, which will be used by the racers. Board member Cindy Fiorillo had a great idea, and we are going to run with it: let s have members submit suggestions for the name of the boat, and the board will vote on the suggestions and choose a name. The winning submission will receive a $25 gift certificate to our Ship s Store! Names already suggested include Nautical Blunder, Workhorse, and Sawhorse. We will include our logo along with the name on the boat. Let s get everyone thinking of names reflective of WCYC! Please me your ideas, and I will present them to the board.

The Wagners: Michael, Christine, Eric (12) and Nikki (10) Michael and Christine were originally from New York (but don t hold that against them :-).

Learned a lot about boating through trial and error, especially how to deal with the downside of gas engines and lousy fuel systems.

(What other reason is there to get a boat especially with El Nino coming and 76 degree water?

6 The Wagners: Michael, Christine, Eric (12) and Nikki (10) Michael and Christine were originally from New York (but don t hold that against them :-). The Wagners bought their first 26 power boat in 2004 to cruise and fish the west coast keeping it in Dana Point. They had great times on that boat, caught a lot of fish including a striped marlin. Learned a lot about boating through trial and error, especially how to deal with the downside of gas engines and lousy fuel systems. All in all it was a great experience and prepped them well for their next step, as the family was getting bigger and we ultimately needed a sport fisher. (What other reason is there to get a boat especially with El Nino coming and 76 degree water?) They looked for their next boat on every website, at every show and in every harbor from Cabrillo to San Diego. Finally, in October 2010 found the perfect match for, Kryptonite, a 40 Riviera located in San Diego. This boat was everything they needed for a family of four that loves boating and the water. After purchasing Kryptonite, they stayed in San Diego for a few months where the kids quite frankly were thrilled to be at the Hyatt in San Diego with a pool/water slide etc. They didn t ever know they had a boat. Eventually they moved up to Long Beach to be with the old crew from Dana Point and then moved to Huntington Harbor for three years after that. After spending a few years in Huntington Beach, They decided to make the move back home. So excited to be in Dana Point and a member of the West Coast Yacht Club and are looking forward to meeting all and being part of the West Coast Yacht Club.
