Commodore’s Message
Well, it has been a fairly active winter around the Club.
Thanks to the effort put out by Tim Lepard and the group
that help him, we have had an active social life. In lieu
of the annual Robbie Burns dinner we decided to change
things up a little and have a French chef prepare a meal a
little later in the season. The meal was delicious and the
atmosphere with discussion around the Vendeé Globe
single-handed around-the-world, non-stop yacht race was
a nice touch. For those of you who aren’t quite tuned in
with these sorts of events, you can rest assured that there
is quite a bit of real life drama associated with the event.
One boat lost the bulb off its keel while challenging for
third place. Of course, this couldn’t happen anywhere
convenient like close to shore. No, it happens out in the
middle of the Atlantic with a storm brewing. In a true
sporting gesture the boat running in third place held up
and sailed some distance back on the course to render
assistance. It turned out to be unnecessary and the
damaged boat eventually managed to finish.
Saturday was not for the faint of heart because of strong
wind and lumpy sea. The strong wind part made it a great
day for Moonshadow. We had a great sail both ways.
The evening also featured a guest speaker who was a team
doctor for several years for different teams on the Volvo
Ocean Cup around-the-world race.
As we approach April, activity around the Ladies’ Tea
will pick up. This is usually a well-attended event and
is a great kick-off for the better weather. We will also be
looking forward to Safety Day and then Sailpast.
Tim has also organized a few Wednesday evening casuals.
These are attended by 40 or so members and have different
themes. They are a great way to keep in touch on these
dreary winter nights. When you see Tim, pass along your
thanks for spending the time to organize these events.
On the sailing side of things, Brian and Jenny Elliott did a
great job of organizing the Thermos Cruise. Changes in the
guest moorage policy at Gibsons Marina made it necessary
to look at options. Thanks to a novel and organized
thought process, it was decided to head into False Creek
and have a dinner at a place on Granville Island so that
anybody who couldn’t get their boat out would be able
to get out to the dinner anyway. As it turned out, the
On the membership front we have seen a higher than usual
turnover in membership. Some longtime members have
retired or just moved on while there have been several new
members join. If you see the new members around the
Club, make sure you introduce yourselves and make them
feel welcome.
Coming up we have the Club Invitational race. I
encourage as many members to get out on the course as
possible. Let’s face it, you don’t have to have a competitive
boat. It is just a casual race. The main event is the
barbeque afterwards anyway. Look for some messages
from Fleet Captain John Powell with some details.
He also has a sailing seminar organized for April that
should be quite informative.
In the meantime we also need
to allocate some time for
boating. After all, that’s
what we are all about.

VICE COMMODORE’S REPORT
The condition of our shore-side facilities is very
encouraging, both the Clubhouse and Superintendent’s
residence, although there are areas requiring attention
beyond the routine maintenance.
The roof on the residence is approximately 25 years old, so
we are on borrowed time. It has been suggested a ‘preemptive’ additional layer of tar may provide a sufficient
extended life (postpone a full re-roofing) long enough
to justify the expense. While a decision has not been
made, Collen is looking into the cost, so we can make an
informed decision.
At the Clubhouse the upper staining is looking aged and
requires attention. As this is beyond reasonable/safe reach
even with a ladder, we are investigating costs and options
here too. The locations involved do not permit staff or a
work party tackling this project, which we would usually
do for painting work.
The final area of concern is the cracking in the cement
decking around the Clubhouse. While the cracking is
not a structural concern, it will naturally expand as time
goes by and freeze-thaw cycles continue. To date this
has been tackled by annual cleaning and local sealing
of the impacted areas. The current opinion is that this
is adequate ... but I must confess to not being entirely
comfortable here. Any member suggestions would be
particularly welcome with regards to this one.
Vice-Commodore duties do not lend themselves to
boating comment nearly so well as my Staff Captain
duties did. Suffice it to say that Kathleen and I have
enjoyed our recent winter boating cruises up Howe
Sound, even if we did ‘turn tail’ back to Eagle Harbour on
Thermos Cruise. As much as we enjoy Thermos Cruise,
25 knots on the aft quarter is no fun in a power boat. The
attempt did, however, nicely rearrange the ‘iron rations’ in
the forward locker!

STAFF CAPTAIN’S REPORT
The Thermos Cruise began several years ago as a very
modest little outing that provided an excuse for some of
us to take our boats off the docks in the middle of our west
coast winter. The first venture saw half a dozen boats
sailing or motoring to Halket Bay on Gambier Island,
having a picnic lunch in very chilly conditions there and
sailing back the same day. Since then it has drawn slightly
larger numbers of participants and generally involved an
over-night stay at Snug Cove or, more often, at Gibsons
Marina.
This year we decided that instead of heading out of town
we would try heading ‘down town’ – to False Creek and
Granville Island. The venue offered plenty of moorage,
either at False Creek Yacht Club where we could take
advantage of ‘reciprocal’ privileges or at the False Creek
Harbour Authority, which has moorings for commercial
4
fish boats but also a good many slips for recreational boats.
Richard, the Dockmaster for FCYC, was extraordinarily
helpful, the staff at the Harbour Authority were also
most welcoming, and we found that Cat’s Social House
restaurant had a very convenient, semi-private ‘upper
deck’ that could accommodate 30 or more people.
The outing was set for February 23rd and in the days
leading up to that it looked as though we would have 13
boats involved and perhaps as many as 33 Club members
and family attending the dinner. Unlike previous Thermos
Cruises, the venue this time made it simple for spouses
and others to join the lunatics who found enjoyment in
sailing in frigid conditions. An added attraction was the
‘Winterruptions Festival’ on Granville Island that made that
always-lively place even more vibrant, with a variety of
exhibitions, musical and other performances that weekend.
However, the best laid plans are subject to mother nature’s
whims and when Saturday March 23 dawned we had less
than easy sea and wind conditions. It was gusty, and around
Point Atkinson the confused seas made for a pretty rough
ride. Several Club members decided not to take their boats
off the dock, at least one experienced mechanical problems
and had to go back, and another, having battled the waves
for a considerable distance, decided to return to base. In the
end only three boats moored at False Creek Yacht Club and
two others were at the Harbour Authority docks. However,
we still had twenty-eight for dinner and enjoyed a noisy,
laughter-filled evening. Most people headed for their cars,
but a few determined revelers who had their boats on
the docks retired to The Arts Club Bar to conduct serious
research on that establishment’s selection of fine ales.
On the Sunday morning we headed home in conditions
a good deal steadier than the previous day. There was
drizzle, and there were fairly strong gusts as we neared
Point Atkinson and these continued almost to Eagle
Harbour. But back on the docks, most declared that they
had “just a great sail home.”
Altogether, it was a fun weekend and since the idea
of making a voyage ‘down town’ seemed to enjoy an
enthusiastic response, I think we shall plan another one for
next year.

SOCIAL DIRECTOR’S REPORT
In February we held a very well-attended French Dinner.
Just under 100 members and friends enjoyed Chef
Philippe’s wonderful French cuisine. We also viewed some
exciting videos of the winners of the Vendee Globe roundthe-world race.
Also in February we held another Wine Club, tasting
Spanish wines from different regions. We held our own
competition between the regions and the majority favoured
the wine from the Rioja region. Tapas was provided by the
members and co-ordinated by Anita Green.
Following the success of the impromptu barbeque in
January, we have started to hold events that we are calling
Fireside Evenings, for want of a better term. Our first
in March attracted 42 members when we served semihomemade pizzas and discussed smart phone and tablet
apps for boating.
Looking to the future, we will continue the Fireside
Evenings with the next one being March 27. Check your
email as we plan to give plenty of warning for this and
other upcoming events. If anyone has anything they would
like to talk about at these evenings please email me.
The Anniversary Dinner will be held on April 13 and will
have an Italian theme. Chef Philippe has agreed to do the
cooking again and so we expect a good turn out. Steve
MacDonald, a Director and previous President of the B.C.
Marine Parks Forever Society, is going to give a short
enlightening talk about how B.C. obtained our existing
marine parks and will outline plans for the future.
Further Wine Club meetings will be held on a monthly
basis with the next one being April 5. Wine Club will
continue to meet every month, usually on the first Friday,
but we will keep in touch by email to confirm dates with all
attendees.
Sailpast will be on May 11 and the format will follow
previous years. We will have a quartet playing some light,
mellow jazz on the deck. The food will be organized by
Club members.

FLEET CAPTAIN’S
REPORT
Racing
What was it Norm said? “I like sailing in winter, because
there’s plenty of wind.” Not this year though! One of the
Snowflake races in February was abandoned for lack of wind
before it even began, and the fleet returned disappointed. It
was not much different for the first of BIYC’s Spring Quartet
races on March 10. Ten competitors came to the start in
very light airs, but a little wind sprang up just when it was
needed and the fleet took off downwind for Passage Island.
It did not last long, however, and the fleet split into three.
The fastest held onto the wind, which by now had come
ahead, and after rounding the island they hoisted spinnakers
again for the run back. A few boats were way back along
the course, while a handful in the middle languished in
dead air short of Passage Island. Nunnehi was in this group.
Blackheart and Takaya I made a tremendous comeback,
working the wind in the eastern half of the sound, but
eventually they had to move across to round the island, and
were soon becalmed as well. Nunnehi was barely a couple
of hundred metres ahead, but she caught a breath of wind
and crept painfully slowly round the island. The other two
boats were seen to give up the struggle, and time ran out on
Nunnehi when she was approaching Bird Islet, so she turned
for home.
But spring is around the corner and we should look ahead,
not backwards. Plenty of activity is in store in the next few
weeks. I wish to mention in particular:
• the EHYC Invitational Race on April 7. All sailors are
cordially invited to compete in this low-adrenaline race over our
traditional course, followed by a barbeque on the patio or in the
Clubhouse. The Notice of Race and Entry Form has already been
distributed, and I encourage you to register in good time.
•a racing workshop for those of you who wish to take up
racing. Two evenings on Thursday, April 18 and Tuesday,
April 23 will be spent in the Clubhouse going over the
rules and procedures, followed by a morning on the water
practising primarily starts and generally getting the hang of
things. There is no cost involved, and the sessions are open
to skippers and crew alike. If you have not yet signed up but
would like to come, please drop me a line at fleetcaptain@
ehyc.org.
•Safety Day on April 27. A team from Capilano Power
Squadron will carry out courtesy checks, D’n’A Fire Doctors
will recharge fire extinguishers and a chandler will be on
hand to sell replacement flares and other equipment. A notice
will be sent out shortly inviting you to choose a time for the
equipment inspection.
•the EHYC Single-Handed Race on May 5. This race is also
run over our traditional course but is a little more challenging,
and appeals in particular to those preparing for the FCYC/
RNSA Single Handed Race to Nanaimo. Nevertheless, we
welcome all comers. The notice of race will be published in
due course.
Finally, I would be pleased to hear from anyone willing to help
man the committee boat for our Club races. It does not entail
anything complicated or particularly arduous, apart from laying
and retrieving a couple of markers. If you would like to come
out and watch the racing at close quarters, please let me know at
fleetcaptain@ehyc.org.

SUNDAY A PR IL 7T H, 2 01 3
The Club will be holding its annual Invitational Race on
Sunday April 7th. We warmly invite all keelboat owners
from EHYC, from other clubs and from no club at all to
compete in the race, which is scheduled to start at 10:30
a.m. close to Eagle Harbour. I would like in particular to
encourage members who do not usually race to join in the
action, or to come to the post-race barbeque to be held on
the Club patio or in the Clubhouse if the weather is poor.
The Notice of Race and Entry Form are attached. The
financial arrangements have been modified this year; the entry fee has been reduced from $20 to $15, but this
no longer includes the skipper’s food and beverage.
Refreshments for all skippers and crew will therefore be
6
charged separately, but will cost the same as last year. As
stated in the Notice of Race, boats registered for the BIYC
Spring Quartet series will pay a reduced fee of $5.
If you intend to race, you can either email me the entry form
up to April 5th, or drop it off at the Club before 9 a.m. on the
day of the race. If you would like to come to the post-race
gathering, there is no need to let us know - just come along.
I hope to see you on April 7th

Sunday, April 7th, 2013
Notice of Race and Sailing Instructions
1. Rules, Eligibility, Scoring and Registration
The race will be governed by the rules defined in the Racing Rules of Sailing (RRS). It
also constitutes one of the races of the Bowen Island Yacht Club Spring Quartet Series. It
will be scored on the PHRF time on time basis. Skippers shall provide a current copy of
their boat’s PHRF rating issued by Sailing BC. Should any vessel not have a current
PHRF rating, a provisional handicap will be assigned before the start of the race.
The entry form is attached to this Notice of Race and is also available for download at our
website: http://www.ehyc.org/downloads/EHYC Invitational Notice of Race and Entry
Form 2013.pdf. Participants may register at the EHYC Clubhouse
clubhouse at any time up to 9
a.m. on the day of the race or they may email the completed form to
fleetcaptain@ehyc.org by Friday, April 5th at the latest.
2. Entry Fee
The entry fee, which no longer includes the cost of the skipper’s refreshments, is $15,
except for boats registered for the BIYC Spring Quartet Series, for which the fee is $5.
Please see section 14 below about the change in the fee.
3. Divisions
There will be two divisions: Division A for boats with a PHRF of BC handicap of 150
and below, and Division B for boats with a PHRF of BC handicap of 151 and above.
4. Skippers’ Meeting
A skippers’ meeting will not be held.
5. VHF
The Race Committee will communicate via VHF channel 73 where necessary.

6. “Class flag” for the purposes of the starting sequence
The No. 1 pennant will be displayed on the committee boat as the class flag for the
purposes of the starting sequence. Boats will not be expected to display a class or
division pennant.
7. Start
The 5 minute start sequence as described in Rule 26 of the RRS will commence with a
warning signal at 10:25 a.m. Divisions A and B will start together.

START
The Race Committee will attempt to call boats that are over the line early on VHF
channel 73. Nevertheless, it is the responsibility of the skipper of a boat over early to
return and start correctly if a recall is signalled by flag, whether or not the Race
Committee issues an alert via VHF.
8. Postponement
The Race Committee may, at its discretion, postpone the start of the race.
9. Course
The start line will be located off Eagle Island outside Eagle Harbour, between a
committee boat and an anchored buoy. The course marks will be Passage Island, Bird
Islet and the start pin. The direction of the course will depend on wind direction and will
be determined by the Race Committee before the start of the race.
A clockwise course will keep all marks to starboard, and a counterclockwise course will
keep all marks to port. The Race Committee at the start line will display a green flag to
indicate a clockwise course and a red flag to indicate a counterclockwise course.
The race will make two circuits of the course.
10. Finish
The finish will be between a committee boat and an anchored buoy in the same area as the
start, subject to the provisions of paragraph 11 below.

11. Time Limitation
There will be a limit of 3 hours for the first boat in each division to finish the course. All
remaining boats must finish within 60 minutes of the first boat in division to qualify as a
finisher.
The Race Committee may shorten the course and set the finish at any of the turning marks
in order to keep the race within the time limit.
12. Disclaimer of Liability
The decision to race rests with the skipper. Competitors take part in this race entirely at
their own risk. EHYC and the Race Committee will accept no liability for material
damage or personal injury or death sustained in conjunction with, prior to, during or after
the race.
13. Insurance
Each participating boat shall carry valid third party liability insurance with a minimum
coverage of $1,000,000. Proof of insurance shall be carried on the boat.
14. Post-race barbeque
EHYC will host a post-race barbeque on the EHYC Clubhouse
clubhouse patio. All entrants and
interested parties are welcome and encouraged to attend. As noted above, the entry fee
for the race has been reduced by excluding the cost of the skipper’s refreshments. The
cost of food and beverages for all participants will therefore be $3 for food and $3 for a
beer.
15. Further information
For further information, please contact John Powell, fleetcaptain@ehyc.org.

Let’s help them along with some beautiful
plants, direct from the grower, and priced
lower than retail.
The Order Form will be sent out by email. You are welcome to also
collect orders from your family and friends. Please complete the
form and attach a cheque payable to Eagle Harbour Yacht Club for
the total amount.
Cheques and order forms are to be sent to Nancy at the office no
later than Thursday, April 18th.
All plants will be available for pick up on Saturday, April 27th from
12 noon to 5 pm or Sunday, April 28th before 1 pm and after 5 pm.
Please note that it will not be possible to collect your orders while
Ladies Tea is in progress that afternoon.
