Hello Race Fans,

2017 has seen a robust racing schedule with plenty of member participation. We even had a Spring Dinghy Series. We will continue to stand down from racing during the doldrums of August, but racing will resume with the Labor Day Regatta on September 2-3. The Labor Day Regatta will be open to both Keelboats and Dinghies. The NOR and Sailing Instructions are on the CYC website and posted on the clubhouse bulletin board. The Fall Dinghy Series will start on Thursday, September 7th, and the Fall Keelboat series will begin on Saturday, September 9th.

Come out and join us for sailboat racing at CYC. The entire race schedule is available on the CYC website. We’re eager to help new racers learn to race. It may seem intimidating, but we’re a friendly bunch and we’d love to have you join us. Here’s a recap of our regatta and

Save The Date

More information from the 1st Vice Commodore-

I want to thank all of you who have performed their mandatory race committee assignments, and in some cases additional race committee tours, as well as those of you who will serve in the Fall. Below is the Fall Race Committee Schedule, adjusted for new members and swaps, as of July 21st. The schedule is also posted on the CYC website and on the bulletin board in the clubhouse. We are extremely fortunate to have a membership that participates in and supports the racing program. Racing provides an opportunity for camaraderie among members, a community that couldn’t be duplicated in any other way. Without your support we couldn’t maintain a racing program. Thanks again for your participation and support.

Fall 2017 CYC Mandatory Race Committee Assignments

July 21st revision to reflect new members’ assignments and swaps

To get credit for performing your mandatory RC assignment, you must show up unless notified in advance by the PRO that there will be no racing on your assigned day. This would typically be due to weather concerns.

If you cannot make your assigned RC duty, it is your responsibility to find another member to swap tours with. Both members must inform the PRO’s for each day affected and the 1st Vice Commodore of the swap. Members cannot offer their RC assignment to another member and be exonerated from RC duty. PRO’s may only swap with PRO’s. Per the CYC Handbook, the fine for missing your mandatory tour, whether if be your assigned date or the date for which you coordinated a swap for, is $50.

First starting gun for weeknight Dinghy Series races will be at 6:00 pm. RC should show up NLT than 5:00 unless instructed otherwise by the PRO. Timelines are tight on weeknights due to impending darkness. PRO’s and RC members should strive to get to the club as early as possible to get marks and the starting line set, ensure that required equipment is on the committee boat, and that RC members are informed of their duties.

First starting gun for Saturday Keelboat Series races will be at 12:00 pm. RC should show up NLT than 10:30 unless instructed otherwise by the PRO.

First starting gun for Sunday Dinghy races will be at 1:30 pm. RC should show up NLT than 12:00 unless instructed otherwise by the PRO.

RC show times for CYC regattas will be determined by the PRO who will notify RC members accordingly.

The CYC safety boat, the Boston Whaler, should be manned by two RC members to assist with setting marks and monitoring safety.

Are you ready for the solar eclipse on Aug. 21? When was the last time you saw a total solar eclipse? Your answer to this question is probably going to be, “Never.” Even if you have seen a solar eclipse, the likelihood of it having been a total solar eclipse is very slim. But on August 21st, those within what is called the “path of totality” will have a chance to witness a historic event with their own (properly shielded) eyes. And it just so happens this narrow path 60 to 70 miles wide stretching from Pacific to Atlantic runs right through our portion of East Tennessee. Many Tennessee communities are sponsoring “Eclipse Festivals.” There are too many to list here, but, if you’d like to see WHO’S doing WHAT, WHERE and WHEN, search the internet! Some areas are even partying all week!!!!~ When is the next solar eclipse? The next total solar eclipse here in the U.S. will be on April 8, 2024, which will be visible from Texas to New England. More total eclipses in the U.S. will follow in 2044, 2045 and 2078. In other parts of the world, the next total solar eclipse will be visible in Chile and Argentina on July 2, 2019. Why is this called the "Great American Eclipse?" This is the first total solar eclipse that's only visible in the U.S. and no other country. It will be the first total eclipse visible only in the USA since the country was founded in 1776. How can you look at the solar eclipse? The only moment it's safe to look at the eclipse is during the 2-3 minutes when the sun is completely behind the moon. Before and after that — during the partial eclipse — special eclipse glasses, or welder's goggles, must be worn. That's because the sun’s surface is so bright that if you stare at any portion of it, no matter how small, it produces enough light to CONT’D

permanently damage your retina. Our eyes never evolved to look at the sun without suffering severe damage. Regular sunglasses are also not safe to use. There are many, many websites where you can buy special eclipse glasses, or learn how to make your own SAFE methods of viewing the eclipse. Can you take a photo of the eclipse with your smartphone? Yes, but the quality may be rather poor, as smartphones were never designed for sun and moon photography. The best thing to do is to cover the camera lens with a solar filter during the moments before (and after) the total eclipse when the sunlight is still blinding. Though it may be OK for a few moments, it's not wise to point your smartphone camera at the brilliant, un-eclipsed sun for an extended period of time without putting a filter over the lens. A telephoto lens system is absolutely a must-have for quality eclipse photography with a smartphone. Most of the best shots you'll see related of the eclipse will be taken with professional digital cameras on tripods, or shot through a telescope.

Repeat of Eric’s article originally published in the June Luff Letter

SOLAR ECLIPSE! Submitted by: Eric Nicholls

By now, everyone knows that on Monday, August 21, 2017, a total solar eclipse will be visible in Tennessee. If

you wish to observe the eclipse on the water, the central line of the moon’s shadow over the sun will cross the

Tennessee River at Watts Bar Lake in the vicinity of Spring City. The eclipse will start there at about 2:34 p.m. EDT

and last about 2 minutes and 40 seconds. The moon shadow becomes progressively smaller on either side of the

central line until the eclipse is not visible 36 mile above or below the central line.

Knowing where to look to see the eclipse is probably not a problem, but to be technical, the azimuth is 204

degrees at an altitude of 64 degrees. Hence, a clear view of a cloudless sky a little west of due south at about 64

degrees above the horizon is necessary. On advice of counsel: staring at the sun without protection will cause eye

damage.

The ideal vantage point on the Tennessee River, which is on the central line, is at the Piney River, mile 533. For

those venturing from CYC, that location is 61 miles below Ft. Loudoun Lock, which is 16 miles from CYC, a total of

77 miles.

The plan, for those interested, is to raft-up and anchor in Martin’s Branch at mile 549, a distance from the lock

of 48 miles on Sunday evening. On Monday, weigh anchor and travel down river 13 miles to the Piney River

arriving “on station” in time to see the eclipse. After the eclipse, return to anchor again in Martin’s Branch. The

return trip upriver on Tuesday requires an early start to make home port with some daylight left (assuming no long

delay at Ft. Loudoun Lock).

By Hugh Willett Thursday, June 29, 2017 at 6:30 pm One of the most troublesome invasive plant species has been spotted for the first time in Kingston, according to TVA.

Hydrilla, an invasive weed known to be extremely difficult to control, has never before been discovered north of Thief Neck Island in Watts Bar Lake, according to Brett Hartis, director of TVA’s aquatic plant management. Hartis said he found a fragment of hydrilla under the Interstate 40 bridge in Kingston earlier this week while surveying the lake. Hydrilla can travel hundreds of miles attached to boats and trailers and survive. It doesn’t take very much of the plant to start a new infestation, he said.

Tim Joseph, a fishery biologist and chairman of the recently formed Watts Bar Ecology and Fishery Council said he thought the discovery was significant. “It shows that it (the hydrilla) is moving,” he said. The fact that the hydrilla is moving upstream is also significant, Joseph said. So far this season invasive weed growth on Watts Bar Lake seems to be at least a month behind schedule, probably because of heavy rains and cooler weather, Hartis said. “I’ve only taken a handful of calls this year from Watts Bar Lake residents,” he said. Hydrilla has been appearing mostly in catch points such as coves and inlets around Thief Neck Island, Hartis said. One of the ways to control invasive weeds involves using herbicides that target specific types of plants. Private property owners must hire licensed professionals to treat the water around their docks. TVA will only treat public areas such as docks and boat ramps, Hartis said. The process requires at least three visits, to first survey the area, then provide the treatment, followed by another survey. Because the weeds grow fast, multiple treatments may be required through the season. Additional tip note from Eric- If you go to Watts Bar Lake please consider the following: When returning to Melton Hill lake, if you will stop before entering the lock and back your boat up for 15-20 feet and if you are an outboard or in/out powered boat, raise the motor and make sure there are no invasive plants wrapped around your motor, it is a positive way to help reduce the chances of transporting hydrilla to our lake. When you pull your boat out of the water please also inspect the underside of the boat and motor and remove all plants, wrap them in a plastic bag and dispose of them in the trash. Even a few pieces from these invasive plants can cause an outbreak in the future if they get into our waters. We have to all work together to fight this problem. Lauren’s Comments– Johnny and I recently visited Lake Guntersville Sailing Club in Alabama. I noticed that the waters around the club were “chock-full” of this nasty plant!!!!!!

Racing the Storm: The Story of the Mobile Bay Sailing Disaster When hurricane-force winds suddenly struck the Bay, they swept more than 100 boaters into one of the worst sailing disasters in modern American history

By Matthew Teague, Photographs by Brian Schutmaat, Illustrations by Michael Byers Smithsonian Magazine | Subscribe July 2017

The morning of April 25, 2015, arrived with only a whisper of wind. Sailboats traced gentle circles on Alabama’s Mobile Bay, preparing for a race south to the coast. On board the Kyla, a lightweight 16-foot catamaran, Ron Gaston and Hana Blalack practiced trapezing. He tethered his hip harness to the boat, then leaned back over the water as the boat tilted and the hull under their feet went airborne. “Physics,” he said, grinning. They made an unusual crew. He was tall and lanky, 50 years old, with thinning hair and decades of sailing experience. She was 15, tiny and pale and redheaded, and had never stepped on a sailboat. But Hana trusted Ron, who was like a father to her. And Ron’s daughter, Sarah, was like a sister. The Dauphin Island Regatta first took place more than half a century ago and hasn’t changed much since. One day each spring, sailors gather in central Mobile Bay and sprint 18 nautical miles south to the island, near the mouth of the bay in the Gulf of Mexico. There were other boats like Ron’s, Hobie

Cats that could be pulled by hand onto a beach. There were also sleek, purpose-built race boats with oversized masts—the nautical equivalent of turbocharged engines—and great oceangoing vessels with plush cabins belowdecks. Their captains were just as varied in skill and experience. A ripple of discontent moved through the crews as the boats circled, waiting. The day before, the National Weather Service had issued a warning: “A few strong to severe storms possible on Saturday. Main Threat: Damaging wind.” Now, at 7:44 a.m., as sailors began to gather on the bay for a 9:30 start, the yacht club’s website posted a message about the race in red script: “Canceled due to inclement weather.” A few minutes later, at 7:57 a.m., the NWS in Mobile sent out a message on Twitter: But at 8:10 a.m., strangely, the yacht club removed the cancellation notice, and insisted the regatta was on.

Daffynition- Steerageway- If a boat is moving through the water fast enough so that it will respond to pressure from the rudder, this is called steerageway. If the boat has no steerageway and is simply drifting with the wind or tide, this is called a potential insurance claim.

THE WORST THINGS CREW / PASSENGERS CAN SAY TO A SAILBOAT'S CAPTAIN!

Hey! Look at this neat clevis pin I found on the foredeck! Oops, I let go of the halyard and it went all the way to the top of the mast. Put those silly sails away and start the motor.

Storytime

A guest, on a private sailboat on a compass heading to the Bahamas, had to hit the head. Excusing themselves they left the main cabin. Shortly after, a sudden squall hit the ship. A giant freak wave rolled over the vessel and, with a stress breach in the hull, the boat began taking on water! Just short of sinking and with his guests and crew in the lifeboat, the captain realized someone was missing. Working his way towards the aft cabins and fighting the onslaught of water rushing in, he broke open the door to the head. There stood the missing guest. Shaken and confused he looked at the captain and said, "I don't understand, all I did was pull the handle!"

August 2017 No. 521 16

Picture this scenario: You are a guest on a friend’s boat. As he maneuvers into the marina dock, the dockhand calls out, “Throw me a line!” Your friend’s wife promptly picks up a coiled 20-foot line and tosses the entire coil to the dockhand who stands bewildered, holding both ends of the line, as you drift past the slip. Upon maneuvering to re-approach the slip, there are some unkind words directed at the wife. She replies, innocently, “Well, he said ‘throw me a line’. Nobody said to tie it to anything first!”

As a female boater and safe boating instructor, I know from experience that it’s a fact that with most boating couples the husband is the skipper and the wife is along for the ride. Unfortunately, recreational boating can be hazardous. An accident or health emergency could easily incapacitate a skipper, leaving his wife responsible for the welfare of them both. The question then for boating wives: Are you prepared to take charge, or are you one of those who would throw the entire coiled line to the dockhand?

There are a few very basic things that every boating wife should know how to do. These include administering first aid, knowing how to call for help, safely retrieving a person overboard, raising or setting the anchor, starting the engine and/or raising the sails, operating and navigating the boat, and docking and handling lines. If there is a boating lady reading this who isn’t comfortable with these basics, then I strongly recommend she start learning now. If there is a captain out there who recognizes his mate can’t perform these tasks, he should be aware they are both in jeopardy every time they leave the dock.

Some of the most likely causes of boater incapacitation include cardio-pulmonary trauma, electrical shock, burns, hypothermia, carbon monoxide poisoning, heat stroke, and cuts or breaks of the extremities. Your knowledge of first aid should include how to treat each of these.

Once the victim is stabilized, your first action should be a call for help. This requires a cell phone and/or basic knowledge of how to use a VHF radio. Do you know how to turn on your VHF radio and select channels? Which channels are monitored by the Coast Guard and other rescue services? How do you make a hailing call? Can you discharge flares or

use flags, mirrors and hand signals to call for help?

If the captain falls overboard, do you know how to assist and retrieve him? Can you throw a line and flotation ring? Can you maneuver the boat to bring the line to him? Once he has a line, do you know how to get him back on board (hopefully without dragging him over the spinning propellers)?

Once you know how to run the blowers, start the engine, and operate the throttles and transmission to get moving, can you read a chart? Can you select a destination and set a compass heading to get there? Do you know how to identity channel markers, and can you recognize a buoy warning of shoals and shallow water? If you don’t know these basics, you will be hard-pressed to make it to any destination.

Every mate on the water should be able to perform boating basics. If you can’t then I urge you to immediately begin learning how. Because many men have a macho side as protector-provider, they don’t share the captain’s duties with their mates. There’s also

the fact that many spouses do not give or take direction very well from each other – and now, you don’t have to.

Ladies, I have an ideal solution for you. The Coast Guard Auxiliary teaches a course called, “Now in Command” at the Tellico Village Yacht Club. The class covers all the basics and does it in everyday language you can understand. Here is a chance to learn from an expert (female) who won’t yell at you. The next class will be held on Tuesday, August 24, from 1 – 4 p.m. To learn more about this class and others, go to www.flotilla-12-2-tellico-village.blogspot.com or call Dennis Beard at 865.657.3080 to reserve a spot. This is a great course that every lady should take. And gentlemen, if you have shielded your mate from the tasks of operating your boat, show her this article, in the interest of your own safety.
