Report by Eva Burpee
The car thermometer read 21F when I pulled into Norwalk Yacht Club this morning, but it was all systems go.
The wind was from the east and puffy, starting out at 8-10 and built to 12-15; since it was funneling between the islands and Wilson's Point it was shifty and choppy. Flooding current sloshed from the east as well. 13 boats started at noon and sailed 7 WLW courses. Normally, NYC sails until 3, but Will Beery who was the PRO decided a little after 2 that between the cold and building breeze it would be prudent to call it a day. There were no complaints.
I borrowed a boat and finished solidly in the middle of the fleet, winning a tie-breaker to finish 6th. Those flat and narrow sails make it hard to accelerate out of tacks in the chop and I was in regular contention with a tiller extension that was much longer than I am used to. Very hospitable fleet and clean sailing.
The Norwalk fleet is reeling from the sudden death of Mike McLaughlin on January 5. He had sailed 2 good races, but complained of heartburn-like symptoms and returned to the dock (which is possible at Norwalk). He collapsed on the ramp while helping someone with their boat. Mike was 37.

Race Report February 9, 2025

A spectacular Super Bowl Sunday sail! Eleven sailors excavated their Dyers from the snowy dock to enjoy six races in a combined A and B division fleet.
RC called for large sails, and the racing of the day consisted of five windward/leeward courses, and as the wind built, a no-gybe course to cap off the day. The conditions began light (in the 5-7 kt range), building to 13-15 kts by the end of sailing. Cloudy skies ultimately parted to sun as we made our way back to Beach Point.
While the wind was consistently from the NW, shifts and gusts on the water made for challenging upwind legs—the fleet frequently split with sailors making out decently well on both sides as long as they kept themselves moving and dialed-in to the conditions. While this sailor had difficulty finding favor in either side of the course, Bahar, John, and Eva traded bullets. Bahar with three and taking first in A division, Eva with two but just missing the podium to Jurgen who took third, and John with one bullet who took second. In the B division, Marc Berkowitz took first, followed by Jeff Sorensen and Bill Zobrist. No one went for a swim!
Many thanks to our race committee and crash boaters! Particularly from this sailor who ended up being towed in after my rudder decided it no longer wished to remain attached to my boat.
Reminder that next weekend brings two days of racing - Sunday and Monday for the Founder’s Regatta. Sign-up for RC, crash boat, and party hosting!
Handicapped Regatta Day 1 Race report March 24, 2024
RC: Jed and Annie
Capsizes: 3
After two weeks of cancellations, one made on the water, we finally got out under small sails to shake off the rust. On the 24th, the American YC’s anemometer shows those shroud-whistling gusts that had us a bit concerned at the dock but several forays by the crash boats out to the course were reassuring. One last blast at around 1230 tested our nerves but it settled down and 21 boats left the docks.
I don’t recall a whole lot of the day except it was shifty and the line was favored one way or the other as the wind oscillated north to west. Kevin Sailor, Helen Field, and Bahar Gidwani had the kind of consistency that led them to the podium steps, Fred, had an off day and this reporter was having his season best day (not saying much unfortunately.)
But before the last race, Guerin made a boat handling error, got tangled up, auto gybed, and ended up in the drink. Thanks to Gerald and Larry who bailed me out, it was a difficult rescue as the wind seemed to build and my dinghy objected to the tow. Good news though, the Dry Suit worked so in 40 degree water, no problem. A couple others joined me in the Cousteau collection, raise your hands, I don’t remember who!

Race Report for Sunday, March 9, 2025
This is nice…. Whoa!
The American YC weather feed only partly represents what our intrepid racers experienced Sunday. A fine, sunny, warm day with puffy clouds in the blue sky that led one to imagine… (reverie interrupted by a shout: “PUFF COMING!!”). More like a blast and from either the West or South.
A somewhat dicey forecast put doubts in this reporter’s mind and perhaps others. However, being fed up with sitting ashore and playing with our cats, kids, and dogs, 21 racers showed up and got the small sails rigged. Everyone is now expert at getting off the docks and out to Lucky who had stuck her nose into the wind out by the red nun that marks fatal rocks, especially so at low tide, as it was.
Pity the RC and crashboat crews including Piotr the Pro and his gang consisting of Kara, Tom, Melissa, Tim, Samantha, Henry, Rick, Declan, and Annie, many of whom got their arms wet and a workout pulling racers out of the drink. In addition to recovering those salty olives, there were breakdowns to solve, even amongst a top “Sailor” and others who had a “Field” day.
Among the missing actors in this drama was Bahar, and Aaron who are typically gluttons for this kind of day’s punishment.
We raced as one big fleet and there was a lot of excitement.
RACE ONE —a hairy windward/leeward course — saw Guerin and Scheck over the line early in heavy wind and waves. As Will reported in an email, “The crew of 818 struggled at the start of the first race; a shift at the starting horn left many sailors unable to move past the starting line on starboard. When 818 tacked to port - we found the same problem ...seemingly headed on port tack also and just stalled in the formidable rolling waves. 5 minutes after the gun I found myself back at Lucky. OK: Back to starboard ....
Only to find a place where there was no wind-whatsoever, only waves, including 3 or 4 that came over the bow...lowering the boat in the water enough to allow 6 or 7 more to nearly sink me. I let everything go, (head in the boat you might say) and baled like crazy for 5 minutes and then looked around to realize that I had made good headway to Oyster Bay. Race over.
Guerin was able to get clear after dodging through an interminable flock of boats and found myself, like Will, back at Lucky. I recovered a bit and ended up in 7th. Helen Field, Paul Beaudin, and Kevin Sailor, took 1, 2, 3 respectively as I think they had boat-end starts and held on through the shifts. Note that Paul and Kevin both had clew tie-downs in place, definitely something to experiment with.
RACE TWO — a no gybe course — was delayed by boat recovery procedures underway by the crashboats so we all watched as Miss FIeld plane her Dyer back and forth on a reach shouting “Wheeeeeee!” Already exhausted, 666 had a great start alongside Helen who then put the pedal to the metal and motored away from the fleet to take another bullet. Paul kept his steady pace up for another 2nd, and it was Jurgen Roth, who nicked past John Field at the line for 3rd place but he was so excited that as he stood up, he slipped, and fell backward on his keester nearly capsizing. Guerin bore witness to this event, just behind John.
RACE THREE — same course — if I recall correctly, the wind lightened up to nothing, switched around, then swatted us real good on the first beat. Collectively Carla Murphy, Catherine Joseph, and 666 battled to the first mark, bailing and steering as best we could (at least Guerin was). Paul got out in front and held on with Jurgen getting a 2nd and Helen a paltry 3rd. Kevin and 666 came in 4th and 5th but felt fortunate nonetheless as we had tacked to port on a big shift left and it paid off compared to the boats that were further out.
For the day Jurgen took 3rd with 11 points, Paul lost to Helen in a tie breaker with 5 points each but her two bullets put her in the gold. John and 666 had 17 points apiece but John won the tiebreaker for 4th place.
Post race libations included delicious Soup and Mac & Cheese by Kara (I think) and assorted chocolates and sweets by others.
Thanks to all, it’s been a tough season, and this day definitely set a high water mark for being just barely sailable safely!

I need back feed from everyone who was on the water today
Most importantly a time lime of today s events
I don’t care it u had a great day or your worst day

How the cb responded to each rescue
Were you treated fairly even though you didn’t pay your membership fee
It’s important to put all this info together so crash boat recovery is as effective as possible
Today’s sailing sure was an unexpected
Crash boat guys
Thank you getting the job done

Huge shout out to David Israel and Xan who jumped in my CB when I called for volunteers to go back out. They didn’t hesitate.
Also, kudos to Melissa for managing from Lucky with people safety being the first priority. After I got Annie out of the water, we decided to abandon her boat because the two of could not right her in what was powerful gusts, and big waves threatening to push us into the rocks on the lee shore.
David and Xan with Tim and Dan found her boat Bananas beached in the inlet that leads to Rye Boat Basin.
In those conditions, we’re obviously needed two in every CB, but it was extreme enough that it really required 3 of us to save Annie’s boat, as well as Erik’s boat that had been taken off the rocks and tied to mooring.
Everyone showed the best side of our community. It looked like fun… until Armageddon.
What was the capsize count?

Seriously, thank you so much to the crash boat operators and RC (especially Melissa), for assistance before the winds picked up but especially after things escalated. Glad we were able to recover the two boats.
Believe we had three capsizes and then two other boats (mine and Xan’s ) also towed in. Thanks to the crash boat operators for making trips back and forth and to everyone who helped de-rig!

When the wind came up, Dan got caught before the finish line. That was the first boat I saw go over.
I believe Annie got caught at the leeward mark.
Erik was fine until he couldn’t figure out how to get away from the rocks. I saw him try to tack a bunch of times. He may have needed to:
Bring up board a little.
Get up some speed before trying to tack.
Back wind and put helm into reverse to back the boat into the new tack.
Not easy stuff to do when you are right next to rocks!
Kara tied up her boat to the RC. I’m not sure what happened to Elly. There were 11 boats left upright and sailable. We waited patiently for someone to accompany us back to shore.
I think we did the right thing. We stayed together. We more or less tacked as a group (so we could stay together). We warned each other about big puffs. We didn’t collide into one another.
I wish RC could have gotten us a crash boat earlier. There were 11 of us at risk. If we could have gotten to shore, everyone would have had less to worry about. However, we understood the situation. We could see the crash boats working hard!
Maybe we should have skipped the last race. We saw some weather coming in, but it had been peaceful up to that point and it was hard to imagine things would turn so quickly and so violently. RC asked me. I was wrong to say do another race. Sorry! I believe that RC consulted Tim and I asked Sam’s view. Both were concerned, but didn’t directly object
Very hard to get back. We had to reach at times. Hard to land on the dock (swirling winds in the harbor). Thank you crash boat people. You saved us! Good that all returned safe. Not sure I can offer much more input.

After seeing a number of capsizes my plan was to just try not to capsize so the crashboats don't get further taxed.
Until I realized I needed to tack at some point or I'd end up on the rocks.
After multiple attempts (each ending in a near capsize) couldn't land one.
Kara stayed near me and gave some advice to build up more speed. Thanks Kara!
Managed to land the tack. Then another.
Bill's crashboat stayed near by gave with me the confidence to keep on trying.
But A fleet was too far away to sail back with them. So I gracefully became a +1 on Bills CB.
With the camaraderie from the other sailors, speed of CB responses and constant helpful organizing info from the RC I felt safe and knew what to do at all times.
Thanks Bahar for the tacking in gail winds pointers.

To answer Bahar's question and fill in some more details, I had some technical difficulties beginning with one of my shroud pins coming undone right before the first race, so I re-rigged everything at Lucky (thank you Will for the help!) and got back in for Race 2, but then subsequently lost my mainsheet coming around the leeward mark on the third race (thank you Bill for the help! and re-rigged in time for Race 4), and then the clew of my sail came undone around the leeward mark on Race 5 as the winds were seriously beginning to pickup. I think this was around the same time Dan went over near the finish line. Bill came over to assist (again, thank you!) and I took my sail down completely and got towed over to Lucky, then Bill went to assist the capsizes. Kara arrived with her boat at Lucky shortly afterwards, and we tied up both of our boats at Lucky. Erik and Dan also made it to Lucky - I believe at one point we had four boats tied up to Lucky (mine, Kara's, Annie's, and Dan's?). Xan joined Bill's crashboat, so I think in total we had 8 boats (or 9) heading back to shore that waited for two crash boats to become available to accompany them back, then the crashboats went to recover the two boats and start bringing all of the other boats attached to Lucky back to the docks.
Again, thanks to everyone for the help on the water and at the docks!

Mainsheet: I saw Ellie struggling with her short sheet and meant to say something about it but forgot with everything else going on. Many charter boat mainsheets are too short and easy to lose. Bring a few feet of extra line and tie it to the end—Erik did this with H. Adding a knot prevents losing it completely, and having extra length makes retrieval easier and avoids awkward leaning, like I saw Ellie doing downwind at one point.
On Water help: In heavy weather, I try to check in with folks who are less familiar with Dyers. If you're experienced, stick with a newbie and lend a hand. Shoutout to Xan for the props!
Sail Choice: Saturday’s lumpy, light air with small sails wasn’t fun, but it kept more boats from capsizing when the wind picked up - Thanks Will for making the right choice.
Leaving Early: Many of us saw the weather coming. I was excited for good wind, but Sam was right to worry it might get too strong. Someone on the RC boat should have a phone to check radar when the weather’s changing.
Recovery Prevention: Erik was struggling to tack in heavy air and drifting toward rocks. I should’ve sailed to a crash boat or RC boat sooner to alert someone by radio. It would’ve saved him from trouble and made things easier for recovery later.
Crash Boats: Huge thanks to everyone on crash boats Saturday—you were out there for hours helping sailors and boats and thanks to everyone who jumped on a crash boat after they got rescued or got back to help out on the water.
Dock help: Jackie, Shig and Stephen also stuck around until evening to help on the docks until every dyer, sailor, crashboat and lucky were all back in and some folks went back out after they came in to help on crashboats.

I owe a huge thank you to all of the crash boat operators on Saturday. Tim, Juergen, Peter, and especially Bill. Also thank you to the sailors who hopped in on the recovery efforts, Dan, Xan, and David, I would be boatless without you. Before I provide a little recap, I want to apologize for being an agent of chaos. I really like MFA and appreciate everyone always being so nice to me and Bananas.
The day had been going pretty well. On the last downwind leg I was unbalanced on my gybe and took on a bit of water, I tried to bail but the wind was picking up so I decided to focus on just getting around the mark and finishing the upwind leg. As I was rounding the mark and sheeting in (admittedly my head was too much in the boat and not watching the wind) a gust came along and before I knew it my boat was sideways and filled with water. I hadn’t even had time to blow my whistle before I saw the crash boat heading toward me. I pulled the pin out of the top shroud and the boat righted itself.
Bill and his crash boat arrived at the scene in what felt like less than a minute, maybe less than 30 seconds, I was out of the water and safely on the crash boat with no issue. As we tried to gather the rigging we were drifting closer to rocks and with the higher winds and chop it was increasingly difficult to steer the crash boat. I’m not sure if the rigging was tangled but getting the mast and boom on the boat was very difficult and water kept filling Bananas until it turtled. Juergen, Peter, and Dan came over to help but with the drifting we were being pushed over the lines and rigging causing us to need to shut off and restart the engine a couple of times to avoid fouling the prop. This was when we decided to abandon Bananas and focus on the humans.
Xan expressed distress and after struggling to tow the boat with him in it and get to RC, Bill decided to take Xan on board with us and tow the empty dyer to the dock. I joined those cleaning up boats on the dock while a stronger crew headed out to continuing rescuing and I hopped in Juergen’s boat for a final pick up of the remaining marks.
Remarkably, and entirely thanks to those on the water, Bananas came back covered in seaweed but otherwise in no worse condition than the day I bought it. I’ll have to let someone else fill us in on the beach rescue since I was not there. My understanding of the location is something like below. . .totally BANANAS!

I love that visual Annie....
The mayhem that the wind was causing, made a prop-foul seconds away from happening, so we cut the engine despite fear of not being able to re-start. At this point, Annie and I were entangled in Bananas. In retrospect, I should have tossed the anchor out when I cut the engine. My mistake, but luckily once we removed the line wrapped around the engine, we were able to re-start and then decided to abandon Bananas.
David, Xan and I went back from the docks to look for Bananas. We found her on the eastern shore of the inlet that leads to the Rye Boat Basin. Because we were unfamiliar with the area and possible hiding rocks, we went ashore at a boat ramp, then walked along the shore to Bananas. By this time, Tim and Dan had showed up next to Bananas in the channel ... we now know we can safely navigate in.
Since David and Xan had on drysuits (I only had foulies) they jumped in the water to get Bananas upright, drained and tossed the painter to Tim/Dan who took it away.
Final observation .... it would have been near impossible for a two-person crew to rescue a turtle Dyer in those conditions. You had to have a driver trying to keep the boat steady while two people recovered the Dyer. The crashboats were getting spun 90 degrees on gusts hitting the topsides.

I too would like to thank everyone who helped me out on Saturday when my boat capsized. Between the wind, current, and rocks, it was a challenging situation, and I deeply appreciate the quick response and teamwork. I was unable to successfully tack against the wind and the current and, after multiple attempts, I moved precariously closer and closer toward the rocks before capsizing. Tim, your fast arrival with the crash boat and effort to assist me and assess the situation were incredibly reassuring. The mast was apparently lodged in the bottom/rocks and would not budge under Tim’s initial efforts to tow. Tim brought me to the RC where I watched Melissa adeptly bring order to the chaos of the recovery efforts. To Juergen, Peter, Bill, and the rest of the team who worked on getting my boat back, thank you for your persistence and skill. I also want to acknowledge the sailors who jumped in to help with the recovery efforts as well as Carla and the others who were on the dock to receive my boat and haul it in. Thanks to all of you, both I and my boat made it back safely. Also, a special thanks to Bahar for all of the pointers and constructive critique—it is much appreciated. I’m grateful to become a part of this club, where the commitment to guiding others and ensuring everyone’s safety is so evident in everything you do.
Handicapped Regatta Day 2 Race report March 30, 2024
RC: Shig and Rick
Capsizes: 1
In short: a hairy day at times and we left the docks some 30 mins late once it settled down, still, on the water, the fleet laid-up between races while a blast came through. Winds below show gusts well above 30 MPH/26 kts and 25 mph/22kts and I think Melissa and the RC measured several 24 MPH gusts which is really pretty hard to handle in a Dyer, not impossible, but it keeps you on your toes.
Scores are not in yet but this reporter had a tough day at the office having hosted a party the night before and was off his game being a bit green under the gills. To top it off his boom broke and lashing it to the mast did not help the sail’s shape! Others did just fine with Fred having a perfect day until Tracy spoiled his run of bullets by beating him at the line in a photo finish!
A terrific video by Gerard Sava captured the excitement. Bahar also seemed to be up there more often than not. And thanks to Rick Kaskell for the post-race pizza; who could ask for anything more than carbs, cheese, and a beer after a hard day on the water?
Season ends soon, let’s get 30 boats out there!!

Race Report for Saturday, April 5, 2025
It’s not too common that the RC writes the report but we saw a lot of action; some of it was on the docks beforehand, or on Lucky itself.
Let’s go to the videotape.
As usual, American Yacht Club’s historical weather feed for the 5th is useful and confirms what the 16 or so racers experienced. A little gusty but not as bad as predicted, with steady wind from the east shifting slightly left as the afternoon went by. The temperature also dropped a few degrees to 45F but the off and on drizzle seemed to amplify the bone chilling cold.
Pre-race, the weather models Mighty Melissa Bontemps was showing “The Pro” pointed to higher gusts in the 26-28 kts range whereas his “Toy” Weather Underground reliance was mocked. There was even talk of cancelling due to the challenge of fighting heavy chop in the channel to get out to the course. That chop was big, 2 feet or so, driven by onshore wind and an ebb tide.
But having earlier taken a boat out to the course with Tim Baron and seeing 10 to 14 kts and moderate chop, the Pro was convinced it’s a go. The fleet sailed out to Lucky without incident while John Field expertly set up a no gybe course.
Some days, the RC has a heck of a time getting the course set due to shifting winds, but the breeze was nearly rock steady for the first start in which Simon Curtis-Ginsberg managed to port tack the fleet! Yes, the line may not have been perfect but he also took advantage of the pounding the rest of the fleet was taking from the chop that held most racers back from the line. He smartly took advantage of that gap and led to the last leg.
But at the finish line, Fred Treffesein had caught up and was rail to rail with Simon. As the waves surged the hulls back and forth in the last 20 yards, Fred nipped the win with the last push. “Can we stop now?” he asked. We noted on the dock that Fred is moving away from the area and after a long MFA career, since 1982 I think he said, we will not have his gracious personality, and smooth-operator-boat-handling skills to admire. Fair winds and don’t be a stranger Freddy!
We continued with no gybe courses, including a couple of longer no-gybe course sixes, with wins shared between Helen Field, Fred, and Bahar. I don’t have score sheets so this is not definitive.
MAKE MY DAY
After a lot of debate on Lucky, RC ran one last race based on a “yes” vote by the cold wet fleet. Yours truly had had his sights set on running a Harry Anderson Course, pictured at left. Commonly used in collegiate racing, John had the marks in place and off went the intrepid fleet. Given the timing and occupation of the crash boats in a breakdown and two capsizes, the course was more of a Dirty Harry Anderson setup with the second gybe mark set a bit too far downwind -whatevs. Nonetheless, it looked fun, Fred won his last MFA race, and Dino Ness would be proud of us.
The 2024-2025 season is a wrap. There are so many people to thank who are both behind and in front of the scenes and I expect they'll be recognized at the party on May 4th. Hope to see you all there!
