Tom, Paul, and I attended the workshop at ODU Saturday and it was great.
Notice that they are holding it again on March 4th at Elizabeth City.
Well worth the effort. Lots of food for thought (regular food, too),
and some specific, practical advice on tactics, sail trim, and crew
involvement.
I highly recommend it.
John

SBRNYCU is an independent weekly publication of southern Chesapeake Bay
racing happenings. Founded in April, 2000.
The GROUNDHOG COMETH! This Friday, February 2, 2007, we will know
whether we will have an early, friendly Spring or 6 more weeks of Winter
weather. Keep you fingers crossed for a cloudy Friday, so that the Big
G'Hog will not see his shadow and will not scamper back into his hole
for another 6 week siesta.
Anna Tunnicliff finished 4th in the 70 boat Laser Radial Fleet at Rolex
OCR. Anna was the first American finisher in the week long, 13 race
international regatta. The ODU All American is well known to southern
Bay collegiate racing followers.
CBYRA REGION 4 celebrates and presents trophies to Region High Point
Award Winners this coming Saturday, February 3rd, at Fishing Bay Yacht
Club, Deltaville, VA. Contact Tom Roberts at (804) 843-2682.
SCREWPILE PARTY ON THE MOVE! Bring your pool toys and come thirsty -
the regatta parties for 2007 Screwpile Lighthouse Challenge, July 22 -
24, will be held in the waterside courtyard-pool area of the Holiday Inn
(regatta headquarters). John Simpson, owner of the Holiday Inn,
suggested the move, and LG Raley, chairman of the event, has officially
announced the decision to have the parties in the absolutely
p-e-r-f-e-c-t location! Reminder, it is not too early to get your
entry in and make your accommodations and slip reservations. And,
locate your water-wings! This is going to be really, really fun! Find
details at www.screwpile.net
New Racers on the Scene: Two new baby boys have joined the southern Bay
racing ranks. Parker Moore has already been spotted "wheeling" about
his neighborhood in a carriage tended by his world class dinghy sailing
parents, Tyler and Jane. Parker surely has saltwater in his veins. A
slightly more recent arrival, Jack Peddy, made the scene this past
Thursday. Grandfather Len Peddy reports that mom and dad, Brigid and
Tom, are doing fine too. The foredeck of Impulse, the Peddy Catalina
34, has a reserved sign on it for Jack. Congratulations to all!
Fiddler's Green: Dick Johnson, a long time participant in the southern
Bay racing scene, passed on January 19, 2007. Dick was involved in
sailing and racing while running his law firm in downtown Hampton. Many
will remember his dad, Bryant Johnson, who was a mainstay on the race
committees from the mid-80's to mid 90's. Dick (Richard Wigley Perrot
Johnson) was 52 years old - gone from us too soon.
More than 60 southern Bay racers squeezed into the Old Dominion
University Sailing Center Saturday to brush up on their racing
knowledge, gather nuggets for improving their team and boat for the 2007
campaign, and to be with fellow racers. SBRNYCU sponsored the 2007
annual seminar, "Murphy Goes Racing", Broad Bay Sailing Association
hosted the event at ODU, and John McCarthy presented the workshop.
Because of the great interest in "Murphy Goes Racing", the workshop will
travel to Elizabeth City, North Carolina, where Pasquotank River Yacht
Club will host the event on March 24. Please see item below for
registration info.
A Plethora of Pearson Flyers: Bobby Whitehouse now has Ken Hidu's
Pearson Flyer and intends to race it this coming year. She'll be named
Fat Bottom Girl (Kid Rock will be pleased) and, if she goes in PHRF B,
she'll be joining sister ships Bad Habit (Bob Archer and Chris Beahr)
and PF Flyer (Larry Preddy).
BCNU will be seein' PHRF C in 2007 season. John Ritger will be
sailing his Morgan 27 out of Willoughby. Sounds like there will be some
great competition in PHRF C this coming spring.
Southern Bay Racers in Key West Winners Circle: CASH FLOW is not the
first KWRW winner that Sue Kessler has crewed on. Sue, one of the
trimmers on Lloyd Griffin's Hadley 40, was a member of the crew on Paul
Andersen's, J29, Titillation, during it's heyday. Other members of the
Cash Flow team were: Jamie Collins, bow; Allen Lyons, mast; Cary
Hardesty, pit; Sean Roby, main; Justin Wymann, Chris Wymann, and Mike
Austin, trimmers; Heather Fretz, runners; Kenny Saylor, tactician, and
Lloyd Griffin, skipper/helm.
Arbiter of Time Report: Official AOT, Jimmie Mock says there are only
75 more days until the first sanctioned race on the southern Bay. He
also reminds us that we should be checking our sock wardrobes - March
20, Spring Equinox, is sock burning day .
Heads-up: Gary Jobson will be speaking at the University of Richmond
on Friday, March 16th, 7-9pm. Tickets are $20 for adults and $10 for

Club is sponsoring Gary's presentation and you may make reservations on
