ing just about every weekend all through out

Blood Drive; a very successful one I might add,
48 units donated; the Palm Beach Regatta, the
continuing Spring Series plus the Wednesday
night Beer Can Races.
The Hospice by the Sea Regatta was held on
May 17th and was quite a success. Our boats did

Club Credo The purpose of the Hillsboro Inlet Sailing Club is to
develop, encourage,and stimulate an interest in sailing in
the Hillsboro Inlet area. It is our responsibility to promote
fellowship and camaraderie among sailors in our club,
among sailors in the area and among our guests.
Membership An application for membership in HISC may be obtained
from membership chairpersons Robert and Patricia Schul-
denfrei at (561) 582-3340 ([email protected]) or by
contacting any club member. There is a $30.00 initiation
fee and annual dues of $150 (family), $125 (single), are
payable upon joining and every January thereafter. After
June 30, the dues are 75.00 (family) or $62.50 (single) for
the rest of the current year for new members.
Monthly General Meeting The Hillsboro Inlet Sailing Club holds a monthly
membership meeting generally on the second Thursday of
each month, 7:00pm at the Lighthouse Point Yacht and
Racquet Club, 2701 N.E. 42nd Street, Lighthouse Point,
Tel: (954)942-7224. Please check the monthly calendar or
call the editor for any changes in the meeting dates, times,
or locations.
very well. I'll let Larry go into details in his col-
umn. There was enough wind!
The Memorial Day Cruise, this year to Bimini,
concludes the month of May. No fun will be had
there I'm sure. June continues with the Spring
Series, the Beer Cans and Coastal Race #2, the
Bill Nederlanden Coastal on the 7th.
Now, finishing this article gets hard and person-
al. As you know by now, Bill Nederlanden, our
first H.I.S.C. Commodore, passed away on the
12th of May. Those of you who knew Bill know
that he truly was one of the good guys. For those
of you who never had that opportunity, you
missed someone special. Personally I've known
Bill and Betty since the late seventies. I had the
privilege to crew for them on Ariel back then. I
was new to big boat sailing, so they had to teach
me a lot, not only about racing but sailing in gen-
eral. Bill also taught me about rum. Particularly
rum and bitter lemon. He will be missed.
So that leads up to Coastal Race 2. This is not a
memorial race. It is now named as an honor to
our Founding Commodore. There will be a per-
petual trophy. I hope many of you will be there
for the inaugural even if you don't race. There
will be a recognition ceremony at the after race
party at the Bahia Mar Marina. Rum and bitter
lemon will be available.
Never forget that there is a lot of history to this
family.
Always have fun.
Do not fall down.

Membership
By Patricia and Rob-
ert Schuldenfrei
Esprit du Vent
New Members
Their sponsors are Eugene Sullivan and Michael
Duvall. The Board member who did the inter-
view was Rear Commodore Larry Geller.
Mary Fran Reed has joined the HISC. She is
the owner of Justice, a Carter Offshore 50. Sad
to report that the boat was stolen, recovered, and
is now involved in a legal battle. This craft
sports an unusual “Luna Rig” having two masts
of equal height from which you fly a jib forward
and a staysail amidships. She is studying for her
Captain’s license. Her sailing resume begins
years ago while she was a college student. Mary
Fran has sailed out of ports around the world and
made many ocean passages.
Her sponsors are Hector Arrillaga and Bill Sho-
mo. The Board member who did the interview
was One Year Director Robert Schuldenfrei.
Scott & Heather DiSalvo are good friends of
club members Kendall Marcelle and Mike Lyon.
After hearing about all of the good times HISC
members enjoy, Scott and Heather decided to
take the plunge. They bring to the fleet Simpati-
co, an Island Packet 370. Scott has been sailing
since he was a teenager. He met Heather while
crewing during the Hospice Regatta in 1999.
They put into ports of call almost every year in
the Bahamas.
Their sponsors are Mike Lyon and Kendall Mar-
celle. The Board member who did the interview
was One Year Director Robert Schuldenfrei.
Manny Negreiro of Lighthouse Point has
joined the HISC. He is fairly new to sailing, but
has a good command of the basics. Manny has
chartered a Lagoon 42 in the British Virgin Is-
lands and wants to take his sailing skills to the
next level. The next target is learning naviga-
tion.
His sponsors are Michael Peteler and Bob Di-
Gennaro. The Board member who did the inter-
view was One Year Director Robert Schulden-
frei.
Bruce Guttler currently has a 17’ Sea Ray,
however, he is interested in moving to sail.
Bruce grew up in Philadelphia, and at age 15
started sailing Sunfish. He then moved up to a
Hobie 18 at the Jersey Shore and then raced 4-
20's for American University. He is currently
looking to buy a cruising sailboat.
His sponsors are Brenda Duvall and Frank Tip-
pett. The Board member who did the interview
was One Year Director Robert Schuldenfrei.
Eric & Katariina Chirinsky of Deerfield
Beach have joined HISC. Eric, a Florida native,
and Katariina, originally from Finland, recently
purchased Iriemystic a Lagoon 420. New to sail-
ing, they are interested in cruising with the club
and learning more about sailing. They have two
young children Cameron and Audrey ages 4 and
2. They hope to one day in the near future take
a sabbatical and sail their boat down to the Car-
ibbean. For now they enjoy sailing on their boat
every week locally.

HISC Blood
Drive - A Huge
Success
By Betty Coviello
The HISC Blood Drive for 2014 was a smashing
success. This is very important since HISC will
be running only one blood drive per year from
now on.
HISC members, their friends, family and neigh-
bors of the host, Larry Geller, donated a whop-
ping 48 pints. Two members who could not at-
tend donated earlier. While One Blood does not
credit us with the two additional pints we claim
them in in the numbers we publish.
Forty eight pints of whole blood becomes 240
units of life-saving benefit when separated into
its 5 components. To put this into perspective, a
One Blood bloodmobile will spend an entire day
at a shopping mall parking lot and collect less
than 10 pints. In fact, HISC is the largest non-
corporate donor group One Blood has, according
to a report we received from them.
Of course, a big part of the success, in addition
to the community minded attitudes of our mem-
bers, is the beautiful home Larry Geller made
available to us for the drive. It was a perfect
evening and a perfect setting. The good food and
drink helped as well.
If you are able but haven’t donated before keep
this event in mind for next year. If you can’t do-
nate come for the party.

Racing
By Larry Geller
Third Tri
It has been a busy month for the racing fleet,
with two distance races, two buoy races and the
start of our summer beer can series.
On April 26, a group of HISC boats traveled to
Miami for the Miami to Key Largo race. With
40 miles of flat water and a huge fleet, this race
is one of the highlights of the year for many
crews. The race was a light air battle, and even
the fastest boats took over 8 hours to finish.
HISC cleaned up, with Magic, Sempre Amantes,
Unicorn and Third Tri winning their respective
fleets. Go HISC!
The following weekend was our annual Hillsbo-
ro Inlet to Palm Beach Race. This event, held in
conjunction with the Castaways Sailing Club
and the Palm Beach Sailing Club kicks off on
Friday night with a great pre-race party/skippers
meeting at the Voss’s home. It was great to
meet the crews from the other clubs and enjoy a
drink while watching the out of town fleet raft
up behind the Voss’s home.
The race started on Saturday morning, with a
total of 25 boats split into 4 different fleets. The
day started with a nice gentle south westerly
breeze that saw many spinnakers flying and
boats headed far offshore in order to get as much
help as they could from the current. The early
afternoon was truly the “calm before the storm”,
with the wind going to almost zero for over an
hour before BAM – it switched around to the
Northeast at 25+!
Although a few boats dropped out during the
calm, most of the fleet finished before the 6:00
deadline, and made it to the Old Port Cove in
time to get cleaned up and have a drink before
dinner. Results for this and our other races are
available on the club website and on pages 9 and
10 (he PBR results and Spring Series Races #3
and #4) in this issue of the Inlet/Outlet.
This was my first visit to the Old Port Cove Ma-
rina and wow, was I impressed. The dinner/
awards party was a big hit, with over 100 people
sharing stories of the day while enjoying cock-
tails, dinner and dessert in the Sandpiper Restau-
rant. THANK YOU to the many volunteers who
worked so hard to make this fun for all.
Another highlight of the month was seeing some
new boats/club members join us on the water,
including Shoal Mate and Short Sail with club
veterans including Carl Wehe and Michael and
Peggy Peteler joining them as crew.
Remember that we now have a trophy for the
Best New Boat, so please contact me if you are
looking to join us on the racecourse!
See you on the water.

Beer Can Rac-
ing 2014
By Jamie Cowan
The 2014 Wednesday night Beer Can series is
now underway. Race #1 came off pretty well
considering the blustery breeze serving to give
Meantime a “rollercoaster” ride at anchor, and
causing an intermediate shroud to part on Sheer
Bliss! Finally, after the raft-up had been in place
for maybe five minutes (?) we started dragging
anchor and had to break off for the night and
head home without even being able to distribute
the prizes to Magic and Third Tri.
The second race was postponed due to threaten-
ing weather as bad (or worse) than the first race.
So the next race we will try to catch up with the
earlier winners as well as to unload the current
prizes as well.
You know, we all appreciate Susimi X and Third
Tri taking care of the mark setting and retrieval,
and many thanks to Commodore Frank Tippett,
for his successful fund raising. And also thank
you to our resident artist, Pat Anderson, for our
always super Beer Can T-shirts. Thanks to
Maureen & Tim Leonard for being hosts (and
worthy participants) for the race committee. And
special thanks to Cindy Goodrich-Cowan for all
her work to bring the beer, do the results, and
dole out the prizes.
Come out and join the action, get in a little prac-
tice, and have fun to boot!
See you on the water!
