Opening Day
2008
COMMODORE’S COLUMN
Greetings from the bridge. By now,
you can see I have a theme for my monthly
columns, honoring the valued traditions at
Newport Harbor Yacht Club. We approach
the start of the Summer Sailing season,
and June 23rd, the first day of summer
Non-Calm sailing. There is great
anticipation of ramped up activities, with
nervous novice parents anticipating the
swim test, the annual flipping of the sabot,
and the first solo launch off the dock. As
your Commodore, I have a unique
perspective with three children in the NonCalm program this summer. As we prepare
cover photo by Anne Nutten
for the start of the Summer Program, we
have over 140 sailors geared up and
ready to launch into the 2008 Summer
sailing season. A sailing season at
NHYC is for any young person “where
memories are made” but it is also the
connection between past generations
and the future.
In researching the history behind
the name Non-Calm, I found the only
logical explanation, but not
authenticated or documented. The
military term, non-com, is used to
designate non-commissioned officers. It
is possibly an embellishment and a play
on words that with the club brimful of
energetic kids, they were called NonCalm. As it is, the lively Non-Calm
program provides the springboard to
future competitive sailing and successes
at NHYC. At our capacity for junior
membership, NHYC is providing an
opportunity for new sailors in the
Newport area to participate in one of
the best summer sailing programs in the
nation. We have continued to teach the
highest principles, in sportsmanship,
fairness, manners, and a Corinthian
Spirit among our young sailors.
The skipper program is one of our
vehicles for sustaining and perpetuating
excellence in our membership by
2
connecting generations and offering sailing
beyond our junior programs. My
membership started at NHYC as a racing
skipper member in the mid 1970’s. NHYC’s
highly successful skipper program has been
the envy of the yachting community, and
often studied and replicated. I have
enormous appreciation and gratitude for
these two valued traditions, Non-Calm
sailing and Skipper program at NHYC.
The historical value and the legacies of
our sailing history provide the foundation
of our proud traditions at NHYC.
Although I’ve made this statement many
times, it’s the character and charm of the
membership ,families, individual members,
and the Corinthian spirit they display that
distinguish us and honor the NHYC
burgee.
We have many opportunities for
investing in the future at NHYC, but few
are more rewarding than being
instrumental in supporting regattas,
summer sailing programs, High School
sailing, Newport Harbor Sailing
Foundation, and young racing skippers.
These are our most valued assets and
traditions.
All the best and warm regards,
Bruce R. D’Eliscu, Commodore
MEMBERSHIP
SKIPPER PROGRAM
While many of these near-30 members successfully convert
to regular member status by demonstrating their commitment
to NHYC, we must always look at ways to expand the program
as a whole over the entire 18-25 age range. Because the
skipper members serve a vital service role at the club, it’s
important to ensure we have the broadest possible membership
base representing a cross section of ages.
The membership committee is working to regularly address
these trends and ensure not only that our skipper members are
fulfilling their obligations to provide a high level of service to
NHYC, but also that the club is doing all it can to attract good
members and keep them actively involved from an early age
through conversion to regular membership at age 35.
You can also help us continue building a strong
membership by encouraging your children, friends who are
active sailors and boaters, as well as current junior members to
look at exploring skipper membership at NHYC.
It’s important to note that the skipper program does carry
an important responsibility load both in terms of providing race
management and volunteer support to the club and by
requiring active participation as a yachtsman throughout the
period of membership.
But it also provides some of the best social, recreational
boating, and competitive yachting opportunities in Southern
California – and I hope you’ll agree that by ensuring a strong
skipper program for the future, we’re working together to
ensure a strong NHYC membership as a whole.
To learn more about the program, or introduce someone
you feel would be a good candidate, please contact Joie Kelly
at (949) 723-6855.
by Jeff Solsby
NHYC’s membership committee is continually reviewing
trends in membership and participation as a means of
evaluating overall club operations, strengths, and areas to
address.
Over time some trends are discernible and the committee
and club take action to address these areas. Some years a
trend can be seen with a marked increase in the number of
members with young children. Other times, a boom in
members with older children or no children can be seen.
Some years, restaurant use is up while boat yard activity is
down. These examples give you a sense of what goes on.
Recently, one area where we have seen a trend is in the
skipper member program.
The skipper member program is one of the many vital
recruiting tools to ensure NHYC has an active and committed
pool of regular members. But lately we have seen skipper
members joining at either end of the 18-35 eligibility bracket—
not in the middle range. A variety of factors contribute to this,
from the increase in students moving away for college to
changes in work and other economic factors. Nonetheless, the
result is something the membership committee watches
closely.
Right now we’re experiencing a period where many
skipper member candidates are at or near the age of 30—just
ahead of the age when skipper members need to begin
working to earn conversion as a regular member.

SPRING DINGHY
R E G AT TA
by Jimmy Madigan
On Sunday April 20, 2008 I
competed at Lido Island Yacht Club in
the Spring Dinghy Regatta. It was a
very nice day and a nice breeze for a
four race regatta. I’m sure that
everyone there had great time! I had a
lot of fun even though there were only
four A sailors. First we went out for one
race and came back in for lunch. After
lunch everyone headed back out and
we completed the regatta with three
more races. When we came back in
there were snacks followed by a well
organized trophy ceremony. In the end
I placed in first but I would like to
congratulate the other Newport Harbor
Yacht Club competitors. The other two
A sailors competing from Newport
Harbor Yacht Club were Blake Crossen
and Carolyn Smith. Blake Crossen
placed in second and Carolyn Smith
placed in fourth. I had a lot of fun in
the Spring Dinghy Regatta!

O P E N I N G D AY R E G AT TA
by Kieran Chung
On Saturday morning April 26th, NHYC hosted the annual Opening
Day Regatta. It was a very relaxed morning with the sailors starting to
arrive around nine thirty to ten o’clock. Sabot sailors from BYC, LIYC, and
BCYC showed up at the main dock and were fired up for a great day of
sailing. As it was not quite summer, all the sailors hoped to get quite a bit
of wind. Unfortunately, early in the morning the water was without a single
ripple. I thought for sure the winds would pick up.
The boats were soon rigged and launched off the main dock and all
the sailors headed out to the course along with a fleet of Lasers. For the
most part it was a very light morning with a steady southerly wind. That
meant the Race Committee was going to send us through the mooring
field in the light breeze.
Within a few minutes the horn sounded and the races were off, led by
the Laser fleet. The line was an immoderately pin favored start for all the
races which gave all the fleets a little trouble getting off the line in the
light breeze. But that didn’t stop the NHYC Non-Calm contingent; we
made the best of it and gave it our all.
As the day went on in the baking sun and the unbelievably light
breeze, the sailors grew weary quickly. The Race Committee realized that
we were going to have to keep to three races, considering the time it took
for a single completion around the windward to leeward course. No matter
the conditions, the NHYC contingent exited their boats enthusiastically
and with smiles on their faces.
Overall the sailors at NHYC did a tremendous job having patience and
focus all throughout the day with an outstanding finish in all the classes.
In the sabot A fleet we had another very strong finish taking 1st, 3rd,
and 5th places. Connor Kelter made a strong finish in 3rd place, Jimmy
Madigan finished in 5th place, and I finished in 1st place. It was such a
privilege to represent NHYC at the 2008 Opening Day Regatta and to
bring another 1st to this winning team!
Excellent job NHYC Non-Calm contingent; let’s keep up the good
work and get fired up for the summer!!

by Bobby Briggs
Last Saturday I sailed in the Opening Day Regatta in the C1 class.
There were nine competitors in our class, eight of which were from
NHYC. I got to the club early so that I could polish up my boat. When
I was finished, Rhodes Garner and I checked out the wind so that we
could rig our boats to fit the weather conditions. There was barely a
breeze and we hoped that it would get stronger.
Before the racing began, we all crowded around the coach boat so
that Whitney could give us some final pointers. The race committee
ran three races and the wind cooperated more during the first and third
races. All of us started on a port tack. If you had started on starboard,
you would have had to tack quickly to avoid the moored boats.
Keenan Chung always had good starts and was either right in front
or just behind me the whole day. It was a great day for the club. The
top three finishers: Keenan, Brittany Welsh, and I, all sail at NHYC.
I always have fun competing against such great friends – and
getting tossed in the bay after a win!

SPRING BREAK STRIPED

up Kellen's (11 years old) 40 lb. Mako
on the troll. That began to bring up
the group’s spirits, and no sooner had
they released the Mako than they
spotted and baited Trevor's (10 years
old) first ever Striped Marlin. With a
little help from Dad, Trevor fought it
valiantly for almost an hour before
finally bringing it to leader.
As soon as Trevor’s Marlin was
released, Kellen spotted another
Striper just 40 yards off the port side.
They ran the boat over and cast a
Mackerel for an immediate hook-up.
Within 30 minutes they had landed
their second Striped Marlin. About
another 30 minutes later they hooked
up the third and
final Marlin on a
jig strike that
Kellen also
landed (as
Trevor was
completely
wiped out).
Throughout
the day the
Trevor's Marlin
family saw a lot
starting to jump

Hump Back
Whales breeching. They tried to bait
two more Marlin on the way back in, but
the closer they got to the cooler Pacific it
became apparent the fish weren't biting
as well. All in all a great Spring Break
enjoying the beautiful waters off Cabo!
by Christopher Allen
NHYC Angler Rod Neighbors and his
wife Debbie wanted their boys Kellen
and Trevor to experience the thrill of
catching a Striped Marlin. So they
decided to take advantage of the Spring
Break holiday and packed up the family
and jetted down to Cabo San Lucas.
Their fishing started on Saturday April
12th. The original plan was to go out on
a friend’s boat but it was being repaired,
so they altered course and chartered a
boat through Redrum Sport Fishing.
The weather was cool and breezy in
the morning but warmed up nicely to the
mid 80s by noon. Not bad while
Southern California was suffering a heat

Not more than 3 to 5 miles out the
family began to spot tailing Striped
Marlin and began boxing the area
straight out of the harbor. Within the
first 2.5 hours they spotted and threw
bait at about 15 tailers. Much to their
disappointment they didn't get any
bites or hook-ups. The captain had
heard that they were getting some
Dorado bites further up into the Sea of

Fish Report:
On April 27th Jeffrey Littell caught and released the
first Blue Marlin of the season off Mazatlan, 29 miles off
shore at a bearing of 213 degrees from El Cid Marina.
Picture perfect weather. Jeffrey and his deckhand were the
only two aboard Littell’s Blackfin 33 ALEGRE. The fish
weighed 400 lbs or so according to the deckhand who has
fished professionally for the past 30 years. The fish put up a
great fight and was released in good shape. The bait was a
dead mullet with the head sewn on to the hook Mazatlan
style.
First Fish Flags:
Congratulations to Randy Hause who picked up the First
Halibut Flag aboard QUE BUENO on the backside of
Catalina. Randy was accompanied by his son Randall and
Colin Kincaid (both Non-Calm members). After the catch,
they headed to Moonstone and shared their 16.8 lbs. fish
with several other NHYC families. Congratulations to Jeffrey
Littell on the First Blue Marlin of the Season in Outside
Waters.

Venomous Fish
Sculpin (common locally), Stonefish, Lionfish in increasing
order of toxicity have venomous spines. Stonefish, perhaps
the ugliest of all fish, has venom similar to Cobra venom in
degree of toxicity and may be fatal. Wounds occur by
touching the spines. Rx: Apply heat. Antivenin is available.

ur planet is 71% water. 4/5 of all the earth’s living creatures
reside in water and many have unique methods of defense
and attack. In our own waters we encounter few troublesome
creatures but with modern sea and air travel to places like the
South Pacific, Australia, the Indian Ocean we are exposed to
creatures whose toxins are among the most potent known to
man.
The cast of characters includes Jelly Fish (Coelenterata),
Sea Urchins (Echinodermata), Stingrays, venomous fish, sea
snakes, Ciguatera poisoning, Shellfish poisoning, Puffer Fish
poisoning, Scombroid poisoning.
O
Sea Snakes
These are the most abundant reptiles on earth. They inhabit
the Tropical Pacific and Indian Ocean. None are found in
the Atlantic or Caribbean. They are not aggressive but will
bite if disturbed. Their venom is a neurotoxin. Death from
sea snake venom is rare. Rx: Antivenin is available.
Ciguatera Toxicity
Reef algae harboring the Dinoflagellate: Gambierdiscus
toxicus are ingested by herbivorous reef fish which are then
ingested by carnivorous fish such as Barracuda, Grouper,
Parrot fish, Eel, and Red Snapper. If these fish are then
ingested by humans a neurotoxin produces symptoms such
as numbness, muscle pain, gastrointestinal symptoms and a
unique symptom of cold to hot reversal (cold feels hot).
Shock may develop in severe cases. Rx: Medical attention is
required. For severe cases intravenous fluids, Atropine, and
Mannitol are administered. For 6 months following the
episode fish, nuts and alcohol should be avoided as
symptoms can be reactivated.
Jelly Fish
These may be very tiny but have been reported up to 100
feet long. Their sting results in a burning pain and the
development of skin welts where contact occurs, The
Portugese Man O’ War, identified by its air filled sail on top
of the surface is particularly dangerous and has caused
fatalities. It is only found in Atlantic waters. Rx: Apply
vinegar or urine. Remove tentacles with gloved hands.
Wash with salt water. A paste of baking soda may be
applied and gently scraped off. Antivenin for Man O’ War
stings may be available in locales where these are common
and can be found at Sea World Poison Centers. Do not rub
with sand. Analgesics and Benadryl may be helpful .
Shellfish Poisoning
During periods of red tide clams, mussels, oysters, and
scallops may harbor a Dinoflagellate which can cause
symptoms similar to Ciguatera toxicity, with outbreaks that
may be associated with mortality rates as high as 10%. Rx:
Seek medical attention. Treatment is similar to that for
Ciguatera. Hepatitis is a risk with shellfish harvested from
contaminated waters.
Sea Urchins
When stepped upon the puncture wound will have a
distinct blue discoloration which identifies this as an urchin
wound. There may be several punctures in close proximity
and the calcium carbonate spines may break off in the skin.
These wounds are very painful. Rx: Remove the spines, soak
in vinegar, then soak in hot water. The heat will denature
the protein toxin and relieve the pain.
Puffer Fish Poisoning
This is a scaleless fish with 2 teeth in each jaw which when
disturbed inflates to many times its normal size. This is
considered a delicacy in Japan and skillful chefs can dress it
avoiding its poisonous parts, nevertheless there have been
thousands of deaths reported from the Tetrodotoxin. The
mortality rate of those poisoned is 50%.
Sting Rays
Not all rays have stingers (ex: Manta Rays). Sting Rays are
common in our local and Mexican waters. They lay on the
bottom in shallow water and when stepped upon, an
automatic reflex thrusts the tail and stinger upward
penetrating the offender with a deep painful puncture.
There may be one to four stingers which release a
venomous sheath from their surface imbedding it into the
wound. Rx: Remove the sheath if possible. Tweezers may be
helpful. Wash with soap and water then immediately apply
hot water soaks. The heat will denature the protein in the
venom and offer immediate relief from this very painful
injury. Antibiotics are indicated for 5 days after the injury.
Avoid these wounds by wearing above-ankle diver’s shoes
and shuffle through the sand instead of taking steps when
walking in shallow water.
Scombroid Poisoning
This may occur after ingesting fish in the Scombroidia family
(Mackerel, Tuna, Bonito) after improper refrigeration. The
fish may have a characteristic peppery taste. A histamine
reaction occurs when the fish is ingested producing an
allergic-like reaction. Rx: Benadryl (antihistamine) and
Zantac or Pepcid (H2 blocker).
Safe Sailing!
