HYSA #1 Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam
Close Finish! March 2, 2013
HYSA Regatta 2, held on Saturday, March 16, was a race to
remember! Team KYC was greeted with light to moderate Kona winds as
well as stiff competition from our rival yacht clubs. The course was
challenging and we had a great time just figuring out what side of the line
was favored. HKYC joined us adding the O'Pen Bic class to the race fleet.
Mathew Butler and I were neck and neck throughout the entire regatta,
with the whole fleet right on our heels. Matthew and I managed finish the
regatta with only a one point separation! We were tied going into the last
race but Matthew prevailed finishing with six points. The junior sailors
had close finishes and great competition, what more could you ask for?
Zach Kaan broke a tie-breaker and was awarded 1st place in Laser B.
Special thanks to Ken and his team at the KMCB for hosting a
great event. Kudos to Aunty Kai Andrade who took some great action
photos and assisted with registration with Aunty Lori Ford. Coach Fizz
Foster filled some big shoes and took the helm for Coach Jesse who Kai Heitzman
was off island.
Congratulations to Leah Ford, Kiana Heitzman, Kahea Heitzman,
Tommy Henshaw, Manny Bacon, Nick Hunt, Matthew Butler, Zach
Kaan, Kira Rosen, Malia Johnson, Juliana Shank and Koa Blair for
representing KYC in winning style!
Smooth Sailing,

restrictions. You may have a friend bring a boat on the water to the Club,
but you must sign them in as guests and request mooring from the Club
Manager or the Port Captain.
Please call me if a question arises.
There have been some new assignments to slips, both wet and dry.
If you are assigned a wet slip, it is better to make up all new lines rather
than try to use the leftover lines from the last boat. There is a chart in the
marina regulations showing the required mooring line diameter and
mooring hardware. If you do not want to make up your own lines you
may call Clark Fremgen and he will make the lines to specifications.
For those boaters on “G” Pier, the engineer for the pier, Bill Leary

International 14 Fleet
Elise Leroux
International 14 Racing
First-place honors for the International 14 fleet’s hard-fought
“Frostbite Series” go to Maureen and Andy Bates. The fleet’s year is
divided into 3 series of 4 regattas each, and the Frostbite Series provided
the opportunity to race in all kinds of breeze – 12-15 kts on Jan 20th;
8-12 kts on Feb 9th; 18-22+ on Feb 24th, and 0-6 kts on March 10th.
Team Bates showed great consistency across the range of conditions,
posting 5 bullets, 3 second-place finishes, and 3 thirds. Tom Pochereva
sailed the series with two crews – veteran I-14er Brad Cole in Regattas
A and B, and fleet newcomer Garret Venema in Regattas C and D. Tom
and crews were a close 2nd in the series, finishing only 1 point behind

Kaneohe Skiff Day – March 9, 2013 That was awesome! --Benton Widlansky
The I-14 fleet offered a second Skiff Day after the first one saw too
much wind, and we were well rewarded with a very talented and
enthusiastic group that came out to try their hand at skiff sailing. The six
sailors who hopped on board did a fine job and had a blast, even in tricky
conditions. The weather forecast of 2-20 knots turned out to be pretty
accurate, with some stronger gusts, making for exhilarating rides, a few
“love taps,” and plenty of opportunity to practice righting the boats. The
fleet sends out big mahalos to Bob Stephenson and Pat “Moose”
Kudlich for running the support boat, and to Harald von Sydow and his
son Lars (aka “Mini Me”) for Zodiac transport. We couldn't have done
it without them. Many members of the fleet also contributed to this
successful day – helping with rigging, sailing, on-water support, and
gear loans. Thanks to everyone who helped make it happen, and kudos
to those who braved an I-14 for the first time. We look forward to seeing
you on an I-14 again soon!
Please note that there are several I-14s for sale locally, so if you
happen to know of any interested parties, contact the fleet captain –
we’re always looking to grow our ʻohana. And, if you know anyone
who is interested in trying I-14 sailing but was unable to attend Skiff Trapezing on a 14 -- James Callahan Photos: Larissa Leroux

KYC Cruising Fleet
President’s Day Molokai
Cruise Wrap Up
F or the second year in a row the KYC Cruising Fleet had to divert
from our planned President’s Day weekend cruise to Hale o Lono Harbor
on Molokai’s South shore and head instead to the Hakipu’u anchorage
near Chinaman’s Hat due to excessively heavy trade winds. Nine boats
anchored in Hakipu’u on Saturday and endured rain, swells, and winds
that exceeded 30 knots at times.
The six sailboats that anchored in the outer harbor had a great time
socializing and hunkering down in the blustery weather. Rocky Young

Don Brown invited the fleet over for dinner on his more spacious 38 foot

way over, Rocky’s wife Darlene missed her step into the dinghy and everyone had a great time, adding that they sure did even though a little

Tennis Lessons for Adults at KYC
Six-Week Spring 2013 Session Scheduled
Dates: Starting the week of April 15, 2013 'Denzers All'
and ending May 24, 2013
Instruction by Kalaheo Tennis Coach,
Greg Siok, KYC member
Back to Basics group lessons: a review of tennis fundamentals. In this
class you will learn core fundamentals of tennis, including: forehand,
backhand, volley and service. Goals include introducing the approach
shot, lob and overhead strokes, learning to direct shots, vary pace, to
improve footwork and to learn basic tennis strategies. We will start out
with sign-ups for two six-week “Back to Basics” classes for 4-8 players*.
Cost is $120 per person for 6 total hours on Wednesdays 8-9 a.m. or
Fridays 4-5 p.m.
Beyond Basics group lessons: instruction of tennis mechanics, drills
and strategy. Participants should already be playing once a week or
more and are fairly serious about the game, able to hit consistent serves,
sustain a rally and control the net with volleys and overheads. Goals
include covering more advanced playing strategies for tennis, like
poaching, learning additional specialty strokes, improving serves and
practice in putting spin on the ball. We will start out with sign-ups for two
six-week “Beyond Basics” classes for 4-8 players*. Cost is $120 per
person for 6 total hours on Wednesdays 9-10 a.m. or Fridays 5-6 p.m.
*If there are not 4 enrollments for the six-week group lesson session that Clay and Gail Hutchinson, JoAnn Goebert, Carl Fritszche
you signed up for, the session will be cancelled. You will be offered
enrollment in another session or be given a refund. No refunds will be
given once the first lesson starts and no transfers to another session.
Rain out lessons will be made up at a later date.
Private lessons: usually produce the quickest improvement in your
tennis game. If you want to improve quickly, focus on a specific area of
improvement or address a problem stroke, private lessons are highly
recommended. Cost is $70 per hour, $38 per half-hour or $325 for 5
hours, $180 for 5 half hours. Call Greg at 392-4734 to arrange for a time.
Semi-private lessons: instruction works best if two or three players are
about the same skill level and want to focus on similar areas. Cost is
$35 per person for a one-hour lesson or $160 per person for 5 hours .
Call Greg at 392-4734 to arrange for a time.
Time slots are open Wednesdays from 10 a.m. till noon and Fridays from
2-4 p.m. for private and semi-private lessons. These time slots may be
extended based on demand.

Fieldwork in Papua New Guinea
KYC Senior Member, Shelley James, was recently away
exploring the remote Sibium Mountains in Papua New Guinea with a
team of scientists from around the world. Dr James, a botanist at the
Bishop Museum, regularly travels to PNG to undertake intense
fieldwork, to document and discover the flora of this "last unkown",
bringing back to Hawaii more than 500 new botanical collections each
trip, including several species unknown to science. (This may explain
why her boats haven't seen much action this quarter!)
