Safe Harbor - Peninsula Yacht Club
GENERAL MANAGER MESSAGE
Dear Members,
June is a wonderful time when boaters are out enjoying the lake. The clubhouse is
filled with members, their families and guests. Thank you so much for the support
you give to your Club.
A big thank you to Chef Andrés and his culinary team for presenting another great
menu for our members to enjoy. If you haven’t tried the Seared Chilean Sea Bass or
the Whole Lightly Battered Branzino Fish, it will be a must to try. For vegetarians the
Seared Cauliflower Steaks and the Asian Rice Noodles are two favorites.
The pool is open everyday starting in June. Please remember that outside food and
beverage is prohibited. Our very own Membership and Marketing Director, Clair Knox will start up her water
aerobics classes this month also!
Our Wine Down Cruises on the Nopkehee are every Wednesday and they have been very popular this year.
Please register online if you would like to secure your spot to watch the beautiful sunset on Lake Norman.
The Car Show, sponsored by the Fleet Committee, has been rescheduled for June 5th along with the Day at the
Lake, which will be on the back lawn. It will be a great day to come to the SHPYC.
Commodore's Hours will start again on June 11th in the bar and library.
Our Summer Camps begin this month! It is always a great time for our Club Kids to have fun during their summer
break.
The next Member Mixer will be June 25th. It is a great time to meet new members as well as see your member
friends. Complimentary beer and appetizers will be served in the Commodore;'s Room and back lawn. We will
also offer a Member charge bar.
As always, it is a pleasure to serve you.

Anchoring on Lake Norman can be very tricky. The bottom of Lake Norman, in most
cases, if very soft and hard to get anchor to take hold. Having the right ground tackle
is very important.
Remember these important tips when
anchoring.
1. Make sure you have the proper size/
weight anchor for the size boat you have.
2. Having chain as part of your anchor
rode rope can be very helpful.
3. Typically plow and fluke/danforth
anchors are preferred.
4. When in doubt pay out more rode…see
diagram to the left.
5. Remember if you don’t have a
automatic windless and you are the
“anchor yanker” make sure you throw
anchor in a depth your willing to retreive!!
Marina Manager Reminder
Watercraft safety
PYC has a number of fun watercraft for your enjoyment. No cost to you but we do require them to always be
signed out. Although fun, these watercrafts must be taken seriously! Throughout the summer the marina can be
very busy with boat traffic, so if using the watercraft make sure you stay aware at all times.
PYC Watercraft Rules
1. Approach blind spots with caution!
2. All watercraft must be signed out from Ship’s Store.
3. PFD’s must be worn at all times.
4. Paddles and PFD’s must be returned to store and watercraft signed back in.
5. Sailboats can only be checked out by experienced individuals.
6. You must be at least 16 years old to check out any watercraft.
7. Be aware of other vessels at all times throughout the marina.
Important statistics from www.americancanoe.org
• 85% of canoe fatalities were not wearing a lifejacket.
• 48% of kayak fatalities were not wearing a lifejacket
• Experienced paddlers are four times as likely to wear their lifejackets.
• Lifejackets not only provide additional flotation in case of a capsize or unexpected swim, but they also provide
an essential layer of warmth in cold water.
• Wear It! Lifejackets Matter.
• Paddlers need to be aware of a few “Rules of the Road” when sharing resources with other marine traffic.
Importantly, keep a proper lookout. Remember to be courteous to other boaters and law enforcement
officers. They’re there to help you to be safe and have fun.
Harry Smith, Marina & Aquatics Manager
12 | PeninsulaYacht.comFLEET COMMITTEE NEWS
The Ed Sherrard Memorial Power Boater of the Year Award was established
a number of years ago by the PYC to encourage participation in the broad
range of events hosted by the club and Fleet Committee. Ed was an
active member of the club and enjoyed supporting his fellow boaters in
maximizing their enjoyment of our beautiful lake.
Points are awarded for a wide range of the Peninsula Yacht Club activities
and extend beyond powerboat events (Raft-Ups, Lakewide History Tours,
Poker Run, and many others) to include credit for volunteer participation in key club efforts as well as
completion of the educational and safety seminars that keep our members safe. The winner receives
recognition in our club publications, a plaque, and a $100 gift card.
We are off to an active boating season, with four point-eligible events completed to date: the Lakewide
History Tour and Scavenger Hunt in April, and our first Raft-up and the Fleet Commissioning/Shrimp
Fest in May. Note that we also recognize all safety seminars – whether sponsored by our club or
another organization – with an award of 5 points for each event attended, to a maximum of 15 points.
Parents are eligible for credit for all Calvin Newman Fund Youth Safety Seminars if they also attend, via
Zoom, with the next seminar scheduled for June 26th.
The Ed Sherrard Power Boater of the Year Award is an enjoyable, competitive challenge that takes
place every year, so please join in on the fun. For further information on the award, or to report your
participation in a safety seminar by an organization other than the PYC, please contact Power Fleet
Captain Pamela Black, pamela.black@kw.com.

Electric Shock Drowning Education
Saturday, June 19 | 10:00 am
GAS DOCK
Electric Shock Drowning (ESD), outside of CO poisoning, is the other silent
killer around marinas. Every year someone dies/drowns due to swimming
in and around docks, piers, etc. Anywhere there is electricity there will
ALWAYS be a threat of electrocution while swimming! Take advantage
of this free class to learn more about this growing issue in marinas.
Please register online.
Please note there is a 48-Hr Cancellation Policy on all Club events. 13SAILING NEWS
Several boats from Lake Norman hit the road in April to sail in the 25th anniversary
of Charleston Race Week. While last year’s regatta was canceled due to the
pandemic, and social distancing kept this year’s on shore festivities scaled back,
nearly 175 boats from all over the country showed up to celebrate a return to
racing.
The Peninsula Yacht Club was represented by 2 boats in the J/88 class. Alchemy –
skippered by 16 year old John Polek, and Blue – skippered by Brian O’Malley who
led his boat to a 4th place finish overall in the class. The Lake Norman Yacht Club
was represented by Pete Marriott & Ken Corsig in their VX-One Magic 8 Ball.
Alchemy is headed to Chicago in June to compete in the Columbia Yacht Club COLORS regatta and the Helly
Hansen NOOD regatta.
Mark your calendars and save the date for this year’s Peninsula Cup Regatta October 2nd/3rd. Whether it is
entering your boat or crewing on someone else’s, we are looking forward to seeing you there. With COVID
restrictions easing, we are planning to add back in land based festivities and planning a couple of new twists
that aim to make this the best Peninsula Cup yet!
