Happy New Year to you all from Fishing Bay Yacht Club!!

Fundraising - we have had a wonderful response to the fundraising appeal in last month's Log. We will republish our donor list next month as we finalize the funding for the building. If your name is not yet on the list, the final chance is approaching fast. The building is progressing well - the electrical rough in will finish in early January and the interior finishes will begin. Thank you in advance for supporting our New Building Program.

Member Data Sheets - In 2002 we plan to implement our Member Database. We hope it will improve our Club. For example, at a recent Junior Program Planning Meeting we discussed how we could improve the participation in our summer sailing programs following Junior

Week. It was asked - what do the soccer programs do that we do not do? We think one answer is better communications. We need to better inform both the parent and the child what we offer, where, when and for whom.

This year we added a second page to the Member Data Sheet sent with each bill. It is designed as a questionnaire to capture the specific interests of each member of your family. Please fill out these sheets and return them to Mary Spencer, our Club Secretary. This process is our attempt to organize ourselves to understand what you, our customers, are interested in. Who among you wants to hear about which of our activities? In case you missed the form, I have asked Randy Alley, our new Log Streamer, to include a sample in this month's Log. Please copy it, fill it in, and send it in.

Web Database - My goal is to provide the tools and data for each of our fleet captains to better communicate with the members who are interested in their activities. We will end up with an on-line database similar to what you can see on the password protected Members Only page of www.fbyc.net. You can use the User Name halsey and Password davis or you can visit the Need Password? page. Our initial efforts allow any member to search for a member's address, phone number, or

boats. But later in 2002, the club management will be able to search for all members interested in whatever and then let them know about the events.

It will take some time to develop the web tools we need and still protect member privacy. As we approach summer, you should see some improvement in our member communications. Please let me know any comments you may have on what we plan.

Opening Day - Please save April 12-13 as a special weekend for FBYC. We plan a Donor Recognition Event on Friday Night April 12 and a Commissioning Ceremony and party after Opening Day on Saturday April 13. Please make every effort to attend this "once every 50 year" party to celebrate our new Clubhouse. Thankfully, Julie Chapman has agreed to Chair the important Commissioning Committee planning this special weekend.

The Rear Commodore and House Chair will also serve on the committee. LONG RANGE – Waddy Garrett – Waddy reported that at the last Junior Program meeting, they reviewed the mission and objectives of the Junior Program. Problem areas such as the transition from Junior Week to the rest of the summer and com-munications to the Juniors and their parents were discussed and the committee will work on solving them. Dick Cole advised that a Bylaws change relating to the Junior program is being discussed and should be ready for presentation to the Board by the January meeting.

OLD BUSINESS – Sam Stoakley does not have a site yet for the Bermuda High Party, which will probably be held on Febru-ary 15. NEW BUSINESS – David Hazlehurst introduced three pro-posed changes to the Bylaws, as follows:

CODE: Bold - language that is being added Strike through -

language that is being deleted The purpose of the following changes is to clarify the duties of the Offshore and One Design Lieutenant Commanders with respect to providing race results for the racers, the CBYRA Delegate and the Publicity Chairman, and also to assign re-sponsibility for recruitment of Social Chairs for series races

since this function is no longer the responsibility of the Social Committee as of 1998.

Section 1 - Duties of Officers and Commitees

OFFSHORE DIVISION LIEUTENANT COMMANDER: The Offshore Division Lieutenant Commander shall be ap-pointed by the Commodore. He shall prepare and revise de-tailed written instructions regarding how the Offshore Division race committees shall record the race results data and convey that data to the Offshore Division Lieutenant Commander. He shall process that data, tabulate the race results, post the results on the bulletin board at the conclusion of each day’s racing, arrange to have copies of the race results mailed to qualified members of the Offshore Division, and provide copies of the and on the FBYC web site, and e-mail race results to the CBYRA Delegate and the Historian-Publicity Chairman. He shall also perform such other duties as may be assigned by the Offshore Division Commander such as locating and award-ing trophies.

ONE-DESIGN LIEUTENANT COMMANDER: The One-Design Division Lieutenant Commander shall be appointed by the Commodore. He shall prepare and revise detailed written instructions for the One-Design race committees to record race results and distribute these, post the results on the bulletin board at the conclusion of each day’s racing and on the FBYC web site, and e-mail the race results to the CBYRA Delegate and the Publicity Chairman. He shall also be re-sponsible for recruiting Event Social Chairmen for all One-Design regattas whose primary objective responsibility is to insure all on-shore arrangements are completed before racers come ashore. He is also to assist the race committee in locating and awarding trophies. The One-Design Lieutenant Com-mander shall also perform such other duties as may be as-signed by the One-Design Division Commander.

The changes recommended for the job of Event Chairman are to document the distinction between Social Chairmen for series races and Event chairmen for major events. EVENT CHAIRMAN: Each Division Commander may

serve himself or he may appoint someone else as Event Chair-man for each major sailing events in his respective division. The Vice Commodore may, and preferably shall, serve as Event Chairman for the Annual One-Design Regatta. Each Event Chairman shall be a temporary member of the Sailing Events Committee. Each Event Chairman and shall be respon-sible, under the general direction of the Sailing Events this committee, for the detailed management of the specific event for which he or she is appointed, and particularly for the spe-cial arrangements peculiar to such event that are not included in the continuing responsibilities assigned to the Club officers and chairmen. Each Event Chairman shall consult closely with the applicable Division Commander and race committee chair-man to ensure the expeditious planning, development and exe-cution of all phases of each event. For Spring, Summer and Fall series regattas, Social Chairmen will be assigned and will have the responsibility for handling all on-shore

Dinghy storage New dinghy racks were built late summer, and the remaining racks will be replaced over the winter. Owners have been asked to enroll their dinghies and request space on the new racks, and to date we have received requests for some 12 spaces. Starting in 2002 rack space will be assigned and dinghies numbered in the same way as boats in the small boat parking area on the Fishing Bay side have been managed for the past three years. If you are a member who has not received an e-mail request to enroll your dinghy please call Mary Spencer on 740-7913.

Late Fall/Winter Facilities Plan

The Fanny House will be available for use throughout the winter months with access from the Jackson Creek side using the combination lock that was installed some two years ago. The combination is unchanged at 2135. Our current plan is to leave water on the Jackson Creek docks through Thanksgiving but this is subject to change in the event of hard freeze warnings. Last winter we overdid this service and had to replace some sections of burst pipe. Remember the roadside warnings, "bridge freezes before road". So do under the dock

FBYC Memorabilia Wanted

We are searching for old photographs and other items of significance portraying the long history of FBYC to permanently display on the walls of our new clubhouse. Currently we are in possession of a small number of photographs from the 1940’s through the 1960’s scavenged from scrapbooks maintained by the late Mac Wellford, a founding member of the yacht club in 1939. But we would like to assemble a more complete collection that will commemorate our history through the present day. If you have meaningful items from any era that may be appropriate to dis-play, I would appreciate your contacting me with your ideas. Thank you.

Excerpts from SOUTHERN BAY RACING NEWS YOU CAN USE SBRNYCU is a weekly publication of southern Chesapeake Bay racing happenings. For additional information contact: Lin McCarthy, Editor, (757) 460-1372 By now almost everyone has learned of the senseless death of New Zealander America's Cups (1995, 2000) and Whitbread winner Peter Blake. He was shot and killed by pi-rates in a robbery of his boat on the Amazon River. The America's Cups and Whitbread victories were not his only racing accomplishments, nor were his racing accomplish-ments his only contributions to our world.

2002 CBYRA Top Dogs Voted In: For the coming year: President, Joe Krolak; Ex-ecutive Vice President, Bob Rutsch; Treasurer, John Heffner; and from the southern Bay neck of the woods, Leigh Morgan will serve on the executive committee as secretary.

Friday, December 21st, marks the Winter Solstice. 7:21 P.M. GMT Wherever you have your boat stashed, you could give her a pat and tell her things get better from here. The Vernal Equinox is March 20, 2002! (The VE is most early bird racers' target date to clear the shackles of the boatyard or shed the double tie-up lines at the dock.)

HUNT-MILLER CAPTURE NORTH AMERICAN 470 CHAMPIONSHIP! Olym-pic hopefuls Steven Hunt (Poquoson, HYC) and Michael Miller (Richmond, FBYC) spent three days sailing their butts off at the Pelican Yacht Club in Ft. Pierce, Florida, and trounced the fleet. This is an especially sweet win, since it is a ranking event for the 2002 US Sailing Team. Go, Homies!!!

Clark Mills, The Father of the Optimist, has passed on to Fiddlers' Green at age 86. Bill Douglas, the editor of Optinews, as done a lot, especially in the last few years, to make sure that the Opti community, was informed and appreciative of Clark Mills' contribution to our lives, sailing and otherwise. Bill suggests that Clark Mills' widow, Helen, would be helped through this very difficult time by letters or cards from those who respect and appreciate what her husband did for us all through sailing. Here's her address: Mrs. Helen Mills, 1028 Sunnydale Drive, Clearwater, FL 33515. (NOTE: Do-nations in lieu of flowers honoring Clark Mills may be made to: Meals on Wheels, 13650 Stoneybrook Drive, Clearwater, FL 33762.)

February Heads-Up! North U returns February 9 and 10, 2002, bringing their Racing Tactics (Feb 9) and Cruising (Feb 10) Seminars to the area. The presentations will be held at Norfolk Yacht and Country Club, Hampton Boulevard, Norfolk, Viginia.
