Thank you everyone for turning out at the Commodore’s Ball last
month. CC and I had a great time and in my case, probably too much
of a good time, if that’s at all possible at our wonderful Club.
And for those of you wonder-ing, yes I did have my “snappy cas-ual”
attire properly checked out by a wardrobe malfunction adviser. It
may not be well known in the best circles of haute couture but a
t-shirt [with appropriate slogan] over tuxedo pants tucked into
white, rubber shrimp boots set off with bow tie and cummerbund, is
considered to be correct dress code for a formal gathering at your
neighborly trailer park. Those guys know how to party and so do
we!
Most appreciative thanks to our ever industrious Social
Committee who under the guiding hand of Bridget, prepared a truly
delicious buffet din-ner fit not only for a commodore, but a king!
Cathy, Gail, Gayle, Georgia, Jenny, Leigh, Stefani and Eva too, you
excelled yourselves and Janie, the Mardi Gras decorations were a
de-light.
Now, on with the serious stuff. The New Building Committee has
re-ceived an initial estimate based on our design concept at the
lofty level of $1.32 million which although formi-dable, is
achievable, especially if we are successful with our application
for
sets. Well, finally this year’s Board thought it would be really
good idea to put together a Fleet Captain Committee with yours
truly as “chair”. And verily it was so and without too much protest
from the pre-selected volunteers, the following have accepted
appointment to this new committee:
Billy [Regatta and no. 2 Flying Scots] + Orhan [all other
Scots]
Joel [Sea Shepherd] + Vaughan [all scat boats] + Suz-ana [all
dinghies]
In addition, Brent will be acting as a boatkeeper-at-large.
The objective is to put some structure into the technical
man-agement of our most important assets, the boats, combined with
a clear procedure for who/when is allowed to take out a Club’s
power boat, or rent a sailboat. As an add-on benefit, we will send
a clear message to our un-derwriters that we are at all times
acting as the “prudent insured” and we all know how important that
is.
Lots of good things happening at the Club for March so, read on
and see you there!
Yours aye,
Kelvin
an SBA “Disaster Loan”. To bring you up to speed, Janie, Jay,
Stacie and I met with an SBA “Field Loss Verifier” in early Feb.
and we were encouraged at his assessment of our unique situation.
Apparently, the SBA
views our Club and similar estab-lishments most favorably, as
being the pivot point for the rebuilding of local businesses and
residences. Since meeting with the FLV, I have been contacted by an
SBA Assessor in Washington DC who will be “making a recommenda-tion
to his superiors before the end of the month”. No hint however, as
to what those recommendations will be.
Thus, we now move on to the next level in the application
process.
Meantime, while Ian is setting the pace, our dynamic
architectural duo, Mike and Lynn are looking at ways to bring the
price down a notch by investigating different materials,
construction methods and building lay-out. If our SBA loan app
meets limited success then all other financial options will be
pursued, including a possible deferral of the “Event” room to a
separate Phase II.
I’ll keep you all posted as we get down to the proverbial short
strokes.
Lastly and as you know, for quite some time we have been trying
to formulate a Fleet Captain arrange-ment to oversee our floating

The Race Committee held a meeting on Sunday, January 29, 2006
with skippers and interested members. A terrific turn-out-- over 20
people showed up . Some of the ideas discussed and adopted to
encour-age turnout and a more varied schedule included a variety of
races: windward/leeward, long distance, multiple races on one day,
fund races and a fun race.
An system of scoring to allow spinnaker/non spinnaker
competition was suggested to the committee by Dennis Cheuvront ,
and it was decided to try it in the Spring Racing season. Captains:
Please email your boat specs to Dennis Cheuvront
[email protected] have him do the calculation to rate your boat
for the new system.
The PYC race schedule was set to coordi-nate with the Gulf
Yachting Association’s calendar, and a spring warm-up race will
kick things off on Saturday, February 11th. The calendar is on the
website www.pontyc.org and the results will also be posted. The
Principal Race Officer [PRO] for each race are volunteers from the
race committee, sailing crews and skippers, and interested sailors.
Each race day will have a team headed by the PRO. Club members,
especially those with power boat experience for the Sea Shepard,
are encouraged to come aboard to learn and have fun!
Best moment of the meeting was John Cramer’s story of starting a
Le Mans Race several years ago:
John stood in the middle of Lake-shore Drive with the starting
shot-gun, and let loose a shot. Crews at the starting point at the
bar gulped a beer and raced to-ward the anchored boats at the
harbors
edge to set sail. At this point, a cop car alerted by the
gunshot came rac-ing around the corner, lights flashing, to see
John in the middle of the street, shotgun in hand, and a run-ning
mob heading in the opposite direction!
Somehow, we must co-ordinate with the town of Mandeville for
future Le Mans starts.
Race committee members are:
1. Gerald Kuehler
2. Will Jeffcoat
3. Dennis Ledet
4. Gail Ledet
5. Mary Lindsey
6. Larry Young
7. Jane Willis
8. Barry Pierce
9. Bill Coates
10. John Cramer 11. Joel Lindsey
Members of the Race Committee took part in an orientation to the
Sea Shepard with John Cramer on Saturday February 4, 2006. John
took us through the steps of using the Sea Shepard for races. The
steps to follow are clearly outlined in a routine John printed
several years ago, and John demon-strated each step in preparation,
motoring
and putting the boat back in the slip and closing up.
We took a short voyage out on the choppy lake, and members of
the commit-tee took turns handling the boat.
Race Committee concluded the session with a demonstration of
race management involving the flags and signals.

As you know, we are host-ing the GYA opening day this year. This
event, among others in-cludes the infamous
Masters Race.
The “Masters Race” is where the “crème de la crème” of the over
50’s compete for the coveted red jacket. Our very own Janet
Miller-Schmidt, (must have been given a dispensation on account of
her position – since she does not look a day over forty) has kindly
accepted to carry our burgee as one of our three person team. Given
the number of applicants for the remaining two positions, we will
be holding qualifiers, . . . . . yes, you guessed it, on our newly
re-furbished Flying Scotts, hence the hurry.
Please do not be shy & register for the try-outs, keep an
eye on your e-mail, the web

Dedicated in 1941 to the memory of Auguste Capdevielle, this
trophy is one of the oldest and most prestigious in the Gulf
Yachting Association. Auguste Capdevielle served as
Commodore-President of the GYA during the years 1936 – 1939. He was
also Commodore of the Southern Yacht Club, and for many years
served as SYC ’ s Race Committee Chairman. This is the 64th year of
competition between GYA clubs for this championship. There are only
two older competitions in the GYA – the Lipton (1920) and the Knost
(1938).

Dear Friends,
It looks like we will be busy during March.
The month is starting with the Mardi Gras Capdevielle (NOYC

Our club will be represented by Billy Ross, David Bolyard, Jeff
Lindheim & Colin Ross.
Join me in wishing them good luck and fair winds.
During the same week-end we will also be launching our “Save the
Scotts” cam-paign - where our four club Scotts will be sanded,
primed & ; painted – the rig-ging checked and overhauled ready
for their new sails.
Please do volunteer for this campaign, we can do with more hands
and the sooner we get our Scotts race-worthy, the sooner we can put
them on the water and to good use.

On March 16, GYA Commodore Janet Miller-Schmidt et al will be
Chicago bound for the U.S. Sailing Association spring meeting.
Janet will be giving a report on the status of the Gulf Coast
clubs. USSA is also exploring different options for assistance in
the recovery effort. Several clubs across the country have already
stepped up with offers of equipment, cash, and labor. PYC has even
received a letter and bur-gee from a club in South America, whose
members offered their prayers for our area sailors at their opening
day event. For more infor-
mation on the spring meeting, visit www.ussailing.org
On a sad note, we recently learned that long-time member Bob
Weaver passed away in February. Bob was a well-known fixture around
the club and on the race course, al-though in later years he was
not able to participate as often as he would have liked. Those of
us who remember him will surely miss the friendly smile he always
had on his face. Private services for Bob's fam-ily were held in
Baton Rouge.

For Sale 1993 Capri 14.2 with trailer. The boat has been
modified for ease of sin-gle-handing and the sails are in excellent
condition. The trailer has been modified to transport the boat more
securely. This is a fun boat to sail and can accommodate up to four
adults. This boat has been in my garage for the past 4 years, as I
now own a larger boat. NADA value for the boat is $2,300.00 -- all
offers considered. Contact Bob at 225-202-5227.
I hope everyone had a fun and
safe Mardi Gras - I'm sure all needed a break from the Katrina
madness! Now that winter seems to be over (did we ever really have
winter?), more sail-ing events are in the works-Leukemia Cup, South
Shore Sailover, Opening Day-we are looking for volunteers for land
and water activities, so if you'd like to lend a hand, please call
any of the board members to sign up. No experience neces-sary!
ADOPT A CLUB BOAT! As many of you already know our club boats
lost their rigging during KATRINA. Here is a list of parts needed
in order to have complete rigs. If you can help please con-tact
Stacie (985) 626-3192 or Suzana (985) 774-5666
Sunfish needs: 5 Sunfish Masts- we have none
2 Top Spars- we have 3 ok to use
1 Bottom Spars- we have 4 ok to use

Club operations continue to be strong. Bar revenue in January
2006 was double that of January 2005. Social ac-tivities are well
attended and are adding to the club’s bot-tom line. At our most
recent board meeting we had 9 new membership applications to
consider. Once our new club is built, I am confident that we will
have a surge of new mem-bers. Of course we must plan for the larger
membership population but what a pleasant chore that will be.
Recently, the flag officers and Stacie, the club manager, met
with a representative of the Small Business Administra-tion. We are
one step closer to finding out what kind of fi-nancing will be
available from
the SBA. The meeting went well and it appears that there is a
good chance that we may be able to get low cost, long term
government financing at at-tractive terms and rates. We will
keep the member-ship ad-vised of all options available as soon
as all of the data is in.
On a lighter note, there will be auditions on Wednesday, March
8, at 7:00 pm for the new sound on Lake Pontchartrain, The
Pontchartrain Yacht Club Band. What should the name of the band
be?????
There will be a short finance Com-mittee meeting on Thursday
March 9th at 7pm.
Finally, I would like to sadly an-nounce the death of Bob
Weaver, a lifetime member of PYC. Bob, who died on February 16,
2006 had
lived aboard his boat, Driftaway on Bayou Castine for over 20
years. Could that be a record? If anyone knows of a longer
live-aboard on Bayou Castine, please let me know.

I think I’d like to title this article “PYC Hospitality”, which
is kind of like “Southern Hospital-ity” – only better!
As I write this, many things are in the works for our little
Club. On the weekend of March 18th, we will hold the Annual South
shore sailover with the Leukemia & Lymphoma Party on Saturday
evening at 7:00 p.m. The food will be jambalaya (catered by
Benedict’s) and music by Frank Fairbanks (Commodore’s Ball).
The following weekend, March 25th – 26th, we will host the first
weekend of the Leukemia Cup Regatta. This will be a VERY BIG
regatta similar to School’s Out/Back – to-School. Details are
cur-rently being worked out for this event, but I do know one thing
– WE WILL NEED A LOT OF HELP FROM OUR MEM-BERSHIP.
Other upcoming events include the GYA
Lets Be Social
VOLUME 39 ISSUE 3 Page 9
Since I am new to the PYC board and new as the membership chair
I could definitely use some help. Would you like to be part of the
membership com-mittee? Please give me a call 985.674.9715 or email
me at [email protected]. I’d like to get a group of 5 to 8
people from different PYC interest groups…racing, juniors, new to
club, and long-time members. I’m convinced that our new facility is
going to make membership in PYC a “hot commodity,” so consider
helping me.
Opening Day on May 6th and even an event for Sun-fish
Re-gional’s!
The reason for the “PYC Hospitality” is because I
know that we can pull these big events together in our little
double-wide and invite our fellow GYA members to come enjoy
themselves.
I’m sorry I can’t offer more details right now, you’ll have to
watch your e-mail for updates as they develop.
As always, I want to thank everyone for their help and support
in the kitchen!

January 9th – January 13th, 2006
PYC member Bob Hodges is the current class president of the US
A-Class Catamaran Association. The class just recently held its
midwinter race week in Islamorada, FL. Here’s his re-port.
US A-class sailors have been having a love affair with the
Flor-ida Keys for several years. It started in 2000 when the USACA
had its North American Championship at Rick’s Place in Key Largo.
In November 2001, the class returned to race the 1st Annual Coconut
Grove Classic and came back in January 2002 to sail the Tradewinds
Regatta followed by its first Mid-winter Championship all held in
one week. The A’s didn’t re-turn until January 2004 when 15 boats
raced a week long two regatta format again at Rick’s Place. In
2005, the same format was repeated but Rick’s Place had become Azul
Del Mar and there were 24 boats in attendance. It seemed like the
formula was working. For 2006, the class approached and got
interest from the Islander Resort in Islamorada, FL. The class
started “pumping” the event and to its great delight, 42 sailors
showed up to participate. The fleet was deep with four Olympic
medal-ists, two world champions, 5-6 sailors who had won national
or North American championships in the A-class and Tornado
classes.
This year’s event consisted of two regattas, the 5th Annual
Co-conut Grove Classic followed by the A-Class Midwinter
Cham-pionship. Most sailors arrived on Saturday, January 7th.
Racing took place on Monday and Tuesday and Thursday and Friday. On
two nights, a post racing debrief was moderated by Jay Glaser.
The week of racing provided an excellent test of the venue as
the planned 2007 A-Class World Championship event site. It met all
of the class’s expectations. The sailing site was bor-dered between
the shore line and an outer reef about 3-4 miles east of the
sailing site. There was plenty of room to setup a race course with
any wind direction. There was more than enough room to store 42
boats and more. The north side of the resort property had plenty of
room to store trailers and in the future containers.
The facility had a pool, hot tub, and an excellent
bar/restaurant. Continued page 11

A fresh water hose was provided to rinse boats and the
management was more than friendly and accommodating to the sailors.
The boat storage area was quite protected and sheltered. There were
no problems getting on or off the water with two launch ramps.
The racing was fantastic with a range of conditions for the
week. The Coconut Grove Classic had 12-16 knots of wind for both
days with some challenging chop and wave action on the race course.
The Mid-winter Championship had lighter winds with 8-10 knots on
the first day and 6-8 knots on the second day with flatter wave
conditions.
Bob sailed well to finish 9th in the 42 boat fleet in both
events. Bob used both events to try out new sails he just got from
Ullman Sails and Glaser Sails for his new A2 A-class that he
purchased this fall. His goal for this year is a top three finish
at the North American championship which will be held in Bristol,
RI in September.

If you are looking for boat storage here at the club, please
contact the office to
register the boat and be assigned a space before moving the boat
over to the
yard. The boat yard is near capacity and just because a space
may appear open, does not mean it is. Your cooperation is
appreciated.
