RICK POKORNY<br />

The preparation and planning are<br />

paying off! We are midway through the<br />

Junior Program and things are going well.<br />

I just left a swim meet and this year our<br />

team is doing great! Thanks to our coaches<br />

and volunteers for a job well done!<br />

Our sailors have been on the water every<br />

day and have been making the most of<br />

what our <strong>Club</strong> offers.<br />

We also experienced another<br />

great Powder Puff regatta. Things got off<br />

to a slow start with light winds, but by the<br />

afternoon, most fleets were able to get<br />

three races in. Vivian Dooren, with the<br />

help of Karen Haupt, Jennifer Alldian and<br />

Mary Ellen Butryn organized a group of<br />

volunteers that put on the biggest and<br />

most successful experience for all of our<br />

young female sailors. This year we had a<br />

special guest, Gary Jobson. He was on<br />

location filming some footage for the upcoming<br />

100 th Anniversary Celebration of<br />

the Barnegat Bay <strong>Yacht</strong> Racing Association.<br />

It was an exciting day with many<br />

great experiences to be<br />

had both on and off the<br />

water.<br />

August is a busy month<br />

at our <strong>Club</strong>. Make sure<br />

you check the calendar at the end of this<br />

issue. It will provide you with the many<br />

different events that we have scheduled.<br />

The White Party, Women Raising Sails<br />

for a Cause, and something new called<br />

“Conktails”. Stay tuned to the Commodore<br />

blast for more details.<br />

So far it has been a great summer!<br />

This year I have had the pleasure<br />

of watching my nieces, Shannon and<br />

Heather swim and sail. The topper has<br />

been watching my five-year old son<br />

Richard. He was barely able to swim the<br />

25 yards required to be on the swim<br />

team during his first practice. Now, he<br />

is swimming multiple events in his last<br />

few meets, with his sister, Erica, always<br />

being supportive along the way!<br />

Save the date…<br />

A FEW THOUGHTS<br />

FROM THE<br />

VICE COMMODORE<br />

The yacht club has been busy<br />

non-stop now that summer is underway.<br />

The bar has been busy and Friday Night<br />

Dinners have been well-attended. Thank<br />

you to our volunteer chefs who put in<br />

many hours of preparation and hard work<br />

while making it look easy. Thank you to<br />

the following chef teams: Glowacki/<br />

Haupt, who have already prepared two<br />

dinners and Schon/Taboada/Carolan/<br />

Valkenburg. Everyone loves coming to<br />

member-prepared dinners but WE NEED<br />

MORE VOLUNTEER CHEFS and<br />

SERVERS! Please contact Patty Mroczko<br />

to sign up to cook or serve a dinner.<br />

Thank you to Patty who has tirelessly<br />

been working on these weekly events.<br />

Many thanks to Vivian Dooren,<br />

Karen Haupt and their fabulous volunteers<br />

for another successful Powder Puff<br />

regatta. Thank you to all of the members<br />

who donated their time on race committee,<br />

patrolling, parking, cooking, serving,<br />

registering, and who donated gifts for the<br />

coveted raffle prizes. A special thanks<br />

goes to Patty Hunt for donating all of the<br />

lunches for the sailors. Throughout the<br />

day, I heard numerous compliments about<br />

the organization of the event, the beauty<br />

of our <strong>Club</strong>, and the congeniality of our<br />

members. With the exception of the absence<br />

of morning wind, it was a perfect<br />

day. We look forward to the 30 th next<br />

year!<br />

<strong>Metedeconk</strong> Opti Advanced Team Captures Merrick Team Race Champonship<br />

with Dramatic Win over Bay Head <strong>Yacht</strong> <strong>Club</strong>; Opponents’ Act of<br />

Sportsmanship Aids Team of Fortunato, DeLuca, Boyan and Banias<br />

Congratulations to the <strong>Metedeconk</strong> Advanced Sailing Team on winning the 2012 Merrick Team Race hosted by the Bay Head <strong>Yacht</strong><br />

<strong>Club</strong>. The winning team was led by Eva Fortunato, Allison DeLuca, Garrett Boyan and Cole Banias. At the end of the regatta,<br />

our sailors finished the event with 8 wins and 1 loss beating BHYC in the Championship Race. Also, representing <strong>Metedeconk</strong> was<br />

the second team of Courtney Jacobs, Sophie Ruggiero, Julia Ackerman and Megan Gonzalez. Eva Fortunato wrote the following<br />

note to Bay Head <strong>Yacht</strong> <strong>Club</strong> on behalf of the <strong>Metedeconk</strong> team for and an ironic but spectacular display of sportsmanship that<br />

made their victory possible.<br />

August 3, 2012<br />

Dear Coaches, Parents, Volunteers and fellow Sailors of Bay Head <strong>Yacht</strong> <strong>Club</strong>:<br />

Yesterday was a memorable day of sailing at Merricks and what made it so extremely<br />

special was your incredible act of sportsmanship shown when my sail suddenly<br />

broke before the championship race against your own junior team. By scrambling<br />

to see that another sail was rigged and brought out to me, provided by your<br />

club’s junior program so we could finish our last race was truly above and beyond<br />

any wins, points and trophies.<br />

My fellow <strong>Metedeconk</strong> sailors and I will never forget your act of kindness. Thank<br />

you, and I look forward to seeing you out on the water.<br />

Sincerely,<br />

Eva Fortunato #18498

Cutting lead Glen Zimmermann by<br />

the smallest of margins. In the Sandpipers<br />

Jim Gelenitis and Sue Rauf lead<br />

Mimi Dimon. With 6 races to go, some<br />

change in position is likely.<br />

Sanderling sailors were first<br />

and third in the <strong>River</strong> Race held on July<br />

4 in very light winds. Winning was the<br />

29TH JUNIOR POWDER PUFF A HUGE SUCCESS<br />

Page 5<br />

The 29th Junior Powder Puff sets<br />

a new record- 263 girls registered and was<br />

a tremendous success!!<br />

Special thanks to all the volunteers<br />

who helped make this very unique<br />

regatta a day the girls won't soon forget!<br />

We wish to especially thank <strong>Club</strong> member<br />

Lou Mercatanti of Ocean Beach Marine<br />

Centers for being our Premier Sponsor<br />

this year. The beach bags, visors, and<br />

the donation of the iPad for the raffles<br />

made our day perfect! While wind conditions<br />

in the morning proved too light for<br />

sailing, the PRO's managed to get four<br />

races in for the Red, White and Blue Opti<br />

Fleets and three for the Green Opti Fleet,<br />

420, Laser Radial, 4.7 and Sunfish Fleets.<br />

<strong>Club</strong> Member, Patty Hunt donated<br />

the delicious turkey wraps from Top<br />

Tomato for the sailors and Mary Ellen<br />

Butryn and her crew did wonders in the<br />

galley serving the sailors, race committee,<br />

instructors, patrols, registration committee<br />

and spectators. Starting the evening before<br />

the regatta, Rick Haupt and crew<br />

took care of the parking of the boats, trailers<br />

and the next day the hoists and<br />

launching duties. We couldn't do it without<br />

their help and the help of the 80+<br />

members who work the regatta. It takes a<br />

year to plan this event and we are currently<br />

working on the 30th Anniversary -<br />

our own <strong>Club</strong> and expressed their gratitude to those who<br />

helped make their journey and success possible: “ The<br />

three of us want to reach out to everyone and say thank<br />

you for all your help and support. Without each and everyone<br />

of you who have helped us along the way, this trip<br />

would not have been possible.” Congrats to Timmy, Lauren<br />

and Ali for representing not only for putting the<br />

<strong>Metedeconk</strong> name on the world stage, but proudly representing<br />

our country as well.<br />

JUNIOR ACTIVITIES<br />

With swimming winding down and sailing half way through, our season is shaping up as one to definitely remember.<br />

We had a very successful Powder Puff regatta, fun at Iron Man, the many interclubs, and of course, the Junior Olympics.<br />

Weather held out nicely and wind has been good to us, especially to our beginner sailors. We look forward in August to the No<br />

Tears Regatta, Rookie Regatta, few more interclubs, and our Andrew Brennan Race on Friday August 10.<br />

Our swim team recently meets won two consecutive weeks in a row!!! First, at our home pool, we beat the OCY-Rays.<br />

The following week we competed at Ocean County College and won against Berkeley! Looking forward to our last swim meet<br />

away at Toms <strong>River</strong> Country <strong>Club</strong>. Hopefully making it three wins in a row! Good Luck Swim Team!!<br />

Swim Team season came to a close with our Summer Shore League Championships held August 7-8. Look for a recap<br />

of this meet and the entire season in next month’s <strong>Smoke</strong> <strong>Signals</strong>.<br />

On Friday August 17, we will all say good-bye at our Annual Junior Awards Ceremony. Hope to see you there!<br />

Thanks for a great season!<br />

Sandy Whitman Holick named Junior Who's Who<br />

Page 9<br />

I do not remember my first days<br />

of sailing. My parents say my sailing<br />

started huddled in the cabin of their 17-<br />

foot boat as they learned how to sail. In<br />

1974, we joined the <strong>Metedeconk</strong> <strong>River</strong><br />

<strong>Yacht</strong> <strong>Club</strong> and upgraded to a 27-foot<br />

Newport sailboat. My first sailing memories<br />

are of weekends spent staying on our<br />

boat. Sometimes we would raft up with<br />

other families from the <strong>Club</strong> or stop for<br />

dinner on the way to Tices Shoal and<br />

would arrive at our anchorage by moonlight.<br />

I started in the junior program in<br />

1980 as an older beginner and wanted to<br />

learn quickly so I could sail with the kids<br />

my own age. I continued sailing in the<br />

junior program throughout high school.<br />

During my last year as a junior at MRYC,<br />

Mrs. Dooren started a small race just for<br />

girls, called the Junior Powder Puff.<br />

While I can’t say I did well in most races,<br />

I did happen to win that first Junior Powder<br />

Puff race. I do not think anyone could<br />

have imagined how popular this little race<br />

would become. I finished up my junior<br />

sailing at MRYC in Mr. Carson’s Lightning<br />

class. Sailing for me wasn’t about<br />

collecting trophies. I just loved to be on<br />

the water with my friends sailing. As a<br />

junior sailor at MRYC, I made many<br />

wonderful friends and developed a love<br />

for sailing.<br />

When I left for college I didn’t<br />

realize I would also be leaving<br />

<strong>Metedeconk</strong> for several years. Jobs,<br />

school and eventually family all took priority<br />

and my sailing was limited to a few<br />

sailing vacations. As my children grew, I<br />

wanted them to have the opportunity to<br />

learn to sail and hopefully develop a love<br />

for the sport just as I had as a child. I<br />

rejoined MRYC with my own family in<br />

2007.<br />

Since rejoining, MRYC summers<br />

have been a whirlwind of activity. I<br />

help out with the Wednesday race lunches,<br />

and then stay for Women’s Wet<br />

Wednesdays sailing in the evening. I am<br />

a member of the Mermates and ran their<br />

Ship’s Store for the past two years. I<br />

have been helping out with the Jr. Powder<br />

Puff race in various small ways and recently<br />

joined the organizing committee.<br />

It has been wonderful to meet up with old<br />

friends and make many new ones while<br />

helping the <strong>Metedeconk</strong> <strong>River</strong> <strong>Yacht</strong> <strong>Club</strong><br />

continue to provide the opportunity to<br />

develop a love for sailing.<br />
