From the Commodore (Charlie Hazard, SkipperMusic

Maker)

Friends, in case you had not heard, they've turned the water on

at the Marina, a great sign that boating season is here! Considering

how long "Old Man Winter" held on, I'm glad well finally start to see

some warmer temperatures. In anticipation of the warmer weather I

put the bimini and dodger on Music Makerthis weekend and will startgoing through the commissioning process over the next few weeks.

April will be a busy month, on Thursday, April 24 at 1530, Dr.

Susan Langley, the Underwater Archeologist for the state of Maryland,

will give us a presentation on the ghost fleet of Mallows Bay and the

historical significance of the site. We will also, weather permitting,

take a trip over to Mallows Bay to have Dr. Langley point out some of

the notable features, then return to the club house for a social. I

have included a biography of Dr. Langley at the end of the newsletter

for your information.

We need you helpFor Dr. Langleys visit. Let me know if you can

help with:

Social, food and drink coordination

Clean up

On Saturday, April 26th

we have our Spring club house cleaning day and

will look to power wash the outside of the club house, repair the roof,

clean the inside to include vacuuming and dusting to get the club house in

top notch condition. The Executive Board will be heading up this

important event as we ready the club for the Open House the following

week-end.

The Open House which is being supported by the Town of Quantico

and the Base is rapidly approaching. This is our first event done in

cooperation with the Base and we need to have a strong showing from our

membership. I need each member to ask themselves how can I help

with this event? There are several areas well need assistance:

Set up

Manning the QYC table

Boat rides for guests

Coordination of Safety demonstrations

Clean up

We will be talking about this at our April meeting and please come

prepared to help. This is an important event for the club, marina, town

of Quantico and the Base. Marty and I could use your help prior to the

Big Day as wellso please contact us ASAP if you can spare an hour or

two. Thank you!

The Open House is a fun day to be around the river, marina and QYC.

Please invite your neighbors and friends to come down to the marina on

Saturday, 3 May for a great day on the river. Activities will include a

fishing tournament, the Ocean Research Project Regatta, music, a bouncy

castle for the kids, marine venders and much more.

March Meeting Highlights

In case you didnt make it to last month's meeting we had a great time hearingfrom Matt Rutherford andNicole Trenholm on their latest adventures in support of the Ocean Research Project. Matt and Nicole took thei

steel schoonerAultout to the Atlantic Ocean plastic patch and conducted scientific research measuring the amou

of plastics in the water. They dragged a mesh net from the boat and collected the bits of plastic. This data is then

recorded and will be used in future research concerning the impact that plastic has on our oceans.

While Matt and Nicole were heading back from this research trip, they spotted a mast off in the distance a

decided to check it out. As they approached the vessel they had a strange feeling that something was amiss.

When Matt got aboard he discovered the vessel had in fact been abandoned, so we got to hear the exciting story

their efforts to salvage a beautiful Swan (60 feet long) that had been abandoned by its owner because he could no

start the engine. As Matt said, a case where the owner had more money than sense! The effort to salvage the

Swan was foiled for many reasons, but primarily the problem of getting good clean diesel fuel. After several

attempts at towing the vessel and bringing her home, foul weather forced them to give up on their attempt to bri

the boat home. A great sea story, so whats next? Im glad you asked!

Matt and Nicoles next research project will involve research on plastic waste in the Pacific so they will be

leaving from San Francisco in a new Harbor Pilot29, and sailing to Japan to deliver the boat to a broker. Along t

way they will be gathering data for research on the plastic waste they find while towing their net through the

Pacific. During our meeting we presented Matt and Nicole a Quantico Yacht Club burgee to fly aboard their boa

and we should be able to track their progress on the trip through their web site. We are helping Matt raise fundfor his non-profit Ocean Research Project by hosting the first Ocean Research Regatta during the Quantico Yacht

Clubs Open House on Saturday, 3 May.

From the Vice Commodore (Art Corbett, SkipperViento Libre)

Our Club has a great opportunity to serve the community at large during our upcoming Open House. We

orchestrating a myriad events and activities that will make the day both interesting and enjoyable, but it will take

genuine all hands on deck effort by the QYC membership to ensure success. We hope that all members will take

good look at the agenda and contribute where they can.

The public portion of the Open House is scheduled for 3 May from Noon to 5PM and is co-hosted with us b

the Town of Quantico, the Marina and QYC. With QYC being the principle sponsor, our work will begin the

previous day. Well have a pot luck dinner Friday night at 7PM in conjunction with set-up of the tents and

preparation for Saturday's events. We also will be there to welcome any early arriving crews for Saturday's Ocean

Research Regatta with food, beer and post set-up camaraderie. We hope plenty of members will be there to malite work of the set-up and contribute to the food and camaraderie. I'm prepared to deal with the beer.

Saturday morning begins early with the Flag Raising by the Sea Scouts at our club house at 0845 followed b

the Blessing of the Fleet. We hope all our sail boaters will race in the regatta beginning at 1000 where you can

to catch Viento Librebefore returning to join the general festivities. We will need members to open their boats

tours and to offer short sails and rides to those who sign up for a tour of the river afloat. There should be plenty o

time for all to enjoy the many booths and exhibits by service organizations, vendors and boaters. We hope each

QYC family will bring one or two other families to help ensure a large crowd. Get your invites out early! Be su

to festoon your boat with the appropriate signals and

service flags to welcome our visitors at the docks and

encourage them to join QYC.

Lastly, we will need help with take down and clean

up. I suspect the beer locker will be open for this

evolution to ensure a happy and well lubricated crew.

We have worked hard to ensure this annual event is a

success that gets bigger and better each year. It is major

service to the community that our club provides and

should stand us well as an example of why the Base needs

to keep the QYC club house on Quantico. We need the

active participation of the membership, so please take a

good look at the scheduled events and contribute your

time and talents where you can. Thanks and fair wind!

Potomac River Sailing Championship Series (Ray Williams, Skipper -- Te-keel-la)

The first race of the year is on 3 May in concert with the Ocean Research Project benefit. This race is also

the first race of the year for the Potomac Yacht Racing Council (PYRC) series and the series Notice of Race is on ouwebsite. I expect we will see a couple of new boats as they try and get a start on the series.

The PYRC consists of seven Potomac River yachts clubs, including the QYC and the series challenges sailors

with races up and down the Potomac River sponsored by the member clubs. A boat that participates in at least

two races will be considered as entering the series and participants of all races will be scored until the last race of

the season is completed. The best four races will be scored. To qualify for a trophy, a boat must have compet

in a race that is 25 miles or more from her home port. The Governors Cup Potomac Leg or the Masters of the

Potomac will be considered as meeting the 25 mile requirement. Trophies will be awarded at the end of the ser

for 1st, 2nd and 3rd in both the spinnaker and non-spinnaker fleets. See Individual Notices of Races at

https://pyrc.shutterfly.com/ or each club website.

For the Ocean Research Project Regatta this year, we are going to charge a $20 racing fee. This is new, b

all of the money goes to the Ocean Research Project foundation as a tax deductible donation. As many of you

know, Matt Rutherford founded this and he sails through the middle of nowhere in the ocean gyres collecting

microscopic bits of plastic to try and determine what this is doing to our environment. Matt is also the only pers

to ever sail around the America's (including the fabled Northwest Passage) alone with no stops and no excuses.

Following the ORP Regatta, we get a month and then the Daingerfield Island Sailing Clubs (DISC) Geico Cu

Regatta is in Alexandria on 7 June. Now is the time to start planning your racing season.

It was a hard winter, but I have been making good use of the nasty weather to get an update for Te-Keel-L

canvas going. At the marina you will see our new bimini sitting proudly on the boat. It is not very much differen

from the old one (I did move the holes for the back stays forward 1"). For the dodger it is still a work in progress a

the main piece is nearly done and the front center window has glass in it and the two side front ones are nearly

complete. I hope to complete it this coming weekend. Don't be hating, just enjoy Te-Keel-La'spretty new

look. For all of this I need to give a major shout out to Ray Boisvert for showing up faithfully to help me with his

Sailrite sewing machine and bag of tricks to get balky canvas to go together in many different ways and look great

Quantico Yacht Club Open House (Marty Spitek, SkipperRhumb Runner)

The QYC, in cooperation with MCB Quantico Marina and the Town of Quantico, is celebrating our Open House on 3

May, 12PM to 5PM and we want everyone to be there!

This is our fourth annual Open House and were using it to kick-off the 2014 boating season. The event is open to

entire MCB Quantico family and the general public. Our objectives are to promote safe, fun, family activities on and near t

Potomac River while highlighting what the local area has to offer.

The day starts with a flag raising, supported by Sea Scouts, at our clubhouse at 0845 and is followed by a blessing of

the fleet and the inaugural Oceans Research Project (founded by solo circumnavigator of the Americas, Matt Rutherford

http://oceanresearchproject.org/about-u/ )Regatta, a Performance Handicap Racing Fleet sailboat race that will start aroun

1000. Notice of Race is posted at our website and we encourage all sail boaters to participate. If you dont have a PHRF,

dont worry, we will work with you to establish an appropriate value for this race.

The Open House formally begins at 1200 and continues until 1700. During the day, well have food vendors and

refreshments as well as picnic areas available. Well have fun activities for kids and scheduled activities include having

selected boats open for viewing, US Coast Guard Auxiliary courtesy safety checks and boat safety equipment demonstration

Well have information tables from organizations that include the Sea Scouts, Prince William County Sheriff's Marine Unit,

Charles County MD Sheriffs Marine Unit, US Coast Guard Auxiliary, Mid-Potomac Power Squadron, American Red Cross,

Leukemia/Lymphoma Society, Potomac River Yachting Association, and Quantico Yacht Club. We will conclude the day by

offering complementary sails on the river.

This is a total QYC event and we need your help with setup/tear down, showing your boat, offering complementary

rides, working the QYC booth, and silent auction/ORP fund raising. . We also need expired flares! Let anyone on theExecutive Board know what you can do. Most importantly, we need your presencebe there. It will be a great day to vi

your boat, use your boat, or to just have a picnic by the river. Its also a great opportunity to bringfriends and neighbors

proud of your club and sport. More details on schedule and participants are available at the QYC Website.

Sea Scout Ship 212, Aquia (Dom Bee, Skipper - Runner)

Our April Spring sail was touch and go as the weather did not look promising. However, Our Boatswain,

Patrick, felt that we should go anyway with the hope that the weather would not be too bad, which is what we did

It turned out to be a good decision as we got to do most of what we planned. We had a record turnout of 13 adul

and Sea Scouts show up at Dahlgren marina and for the first time ever, headed out in two boats, the RUNNER and

the DIXIE CHICKEN, courtesy of our Committee Chair, Diane Wright, who became the proud owner of a 28 foot

Catalina a couple of weeks ago. Since it was fairly late when everyone finally showed up, we sailed around Upper

Machodoc Creek for a bit, and then headed to our anchorage off Howland Point. Once the RUNNER was safely

anchored, the DIXIE CHICKEN came alongside and she rafted up for the night. This was another first for Ship 212.

Once the boats were secured, we had a cracker barrel and watched one of the Horatio Hornblower episodes, a

Ship 212 tradition. As midnight was approaching, it was time to turn in and secure the decks. After a peaceful nigh

and just a bit of drizzle, we awoke and made preparations to return to the dock as some of our crew had to leave

early. After a short cruise back to the T-dock at Dahlgren Marina, we conducted another Ship 212 tradition, which

was the burning of the socks to celebrate the arrival of

spring. This tradition originated in Maryland and signifies

that sailors will not wear socks again until winter comes

around. With the Ship 212 members that were left, we

performed some maintenance on the boat and conducted

some training for our new Sea Scouts. Sadly, our plans for

the rest of the day, which was to sail our small sailboats,

were disrupted by the weather as the grey skies started to

cry, a heavy fog had rolled in and the winds were almost

non-existent. We determined that our best course of action

was to call it a day. All in all, this was a great event as we

had a chance to do a two boat event, sail at night and raft

up. This was the first Sea Scout experience for a few of our

new Sea Scouts and based on their feedback, they want to

do it again, which is a good sign.

While our numbers are we good, we will not turn away any youth between 13 and 20 who is interested inhigh adventure with a maritime focus. I can be reached at (540) 720-0929 or [email protected] for mor

information. We also have a Facebook page at: Sea Scout Ship 212 and can be found on the Web at:
