Light winds and lots of patience for shelter island yacht club’s poor memorial.
By Jonathan Russo
- Share on Facebook Facebook Created with Sketch.
- Share on Twitter Twitter Created with Sketch.
The Poor Memorial, the fourth and final Shelter Island Yacht Club (SIYC) big boat race of the season, was sailed on Sunday, Sept. 3.
This around-theIsland event is open to all sailors with a PHRF rating. There were 27 boats in four divisions, three spinnaker and one non. Because of the forecast and reality of winds under 10 knots, the Professional Race Officer set out to send division 1 and 2 around the Island and division 3 and 4 into Peconic Bay.
The start was just off the outer edge of the Dering Harbor mooring field and the instructions were to sail counterclockwise. Basically, it was the “Wednesday Night Races”, i.e., past Paradise Point, find some buoys in Peconic Bay … and return. There was simply not enough wind to round the Island.
What George Bernard Shaw said of second marriages could be said for light wind sailing: “The triumph of hope over experience.” It takes dedication to the sport to sail in light winds. It also helps to have both a light race boat that’s able to move in gentle breezes, high tech sails, and large spinnakers for the downwind legs.
But more than that, it takes real patience. So that even in a sunbaked cockpit moving through what seems like Vaseline and enduring the shake, rattle and roll byproduct created by an armada of holidaying power boats, a sailor still focuses on every slight zephyr teasing the sails.
They must stare longingly ahead, waiting to spot a ripple on the water, and hope against hope that the wind fills in and the forecasters were wrong.
Sadly, as skipper of a heavy cruising boat with low-tech sails and an aversion to baking in the sun, this form of patience eluded my crew and me. Sachem, going nowhere slow, retired just past Jennings Point.
Persistence paid off for Doug Davis in Gypsy Moon, who won non-spinnaker division 4; 2nd was Beth Van der Eems in Osprey; 3rd was Peter Swerdloff in Wyvern.
Division 3 winner was Peter Dinkel in the club’s Sonar Windy; 2nd was Mike Rouzee in Starlight; 3rd was Peter Larsen sailing Jane.
Division 2 winner was Richard Prieto in Zorro XF; 2nd was Kevin Horne in CALLI se; 3rd was Peter Beardsley in Glory Days.
Division 1 winner was Andrew and Sedgwick Ward on Bravo; 2nd was Jeffrey Pribor on Renegade; 3rd was Steven Guyer on Alliance. No outdoor sport guarantees perfect conditions, and the capriciousness of winds make sailing reliant on factors that are unpredictable.
However, the dedication of the volunteer SIYC race committee delivered the predictable professionalism that ensured a successful Poor Memorial.

This will be our Club's twentieth (20th) annual Cruise / Rendezvous ! Of course, as with past cruises, some of our participants may like to stay over until Monday, the 9th to enjoy an extra day of informal Club camaraderie.
Our weekend will commence on Thursday evening, September 5th at 18:30 hours with a Captain's Meeting to be held on the Club's BBQ Patio. Our cruisers will then "set sail" for Block Island on Friday, the 6th.
The Cruise events on Block Island will commence on Friday evening at 18:30 hours with our traditional Cruise "Welcome" Cocktail Party, aboard Howard Meyer's MY Ingot, which will be docked at Champlin's Marina & Resort in New Harbor. This is guaranteed to be an awesome evening.
On Saturday evening, September 7th the Cruise Shoreside Dinner Party will be held under a tent at Champlin's Marina & Resort. It will also commence at 18:30 hours. We anticipate quite a wonderful evening overlooking Great Salt Pond.
The cost per participant is $250. for the weekend and will be billed to your SHYC account. The club will once again contribute significantly to help subsidize this event.
Those coming by boat should make arrangements for dockage as soon as possible at Champlin's Marina & Resort via Dockwa.com. We have negotiated a special group rate of $4.00 per foot, per night for our Cruisers. When making your reservation, please write "Sag Harbor Yacht Club Cruise" in the reservation notes. The rate will be adjusted accordingly after the deposit has been taken. Should you have any questions, please contact Ms. Ryann Liquori of Champlin's at 609-290-9919.
We would like to remind our Cruisers that, although many participants will sail / motor to Block Island on their own boat or crew on a fellow member's boat, members and their invited guests may also choose to travel by ferry via the Viking Fleet's Montauk to Block Island Ferry or by small plane.
We have negotiated special room rates for our group at Champlin's Marina & Resort or you can stay at another local hotel, inn or B&B and participate fully in the weekend's events.

To ensure that you receive these special rates, you must book your slip and / or room(s) no later than July 7th. A quick note, should you be planning on shoreside accommodations, whether at Champlin's or elsewhere, it would be wise to make them as soon as possible, as our Cruise is in direct competition for space on Block Island with weddings and other events at this time of year.

The 2024 boating season will bring Sag Harbor Yacht Club its 19th Cruise / Rendezvous. This great event, held annually (with exception of 2020), the weekend following Labor Day, has become a Yacht Club tradition. Participating members and their guests cruise by power or sail and sometimes "land yacht", to a shoreside location in the Eastern Long Island / New England area. Past cruises have landed SHYC cruisers in Newport, RI, Mystic, CT., Block Island, RI, Essex, CT, or Mystic Seaport.
During past cruises, participants have enjoyed private tours of such nautically significant icons as the International Yacht Restoration School and the restoration of the Schooner Yacht Coronet in Newport, the restoration of the Whaleship Charles W. Morgan at Mystic Seaport and the Herreshoff Museum & Americas Cup Hall of Fame in Bristol, RI. Fine dining, has also been a hallmark of this event, with Saturday evening shoreside dinner parties and lobster boils. Whether held under a tent on the Herreshoff waterfront during a gale, or on the porch of The National on Block Island looking out over the Atlantic, or on the cove at the Essex Yacht Club, all have been quite special.
We look forward to again sharing our cruising experience with our "regulars", and invite members and their guests who have not experienced our rendezvous, to join us for this years event.
