Leukemia Cup Dinghy Regatta
The Dallas Corinthian Yacht Club and Corinthian Sailing Club have
joined together to host an expanded Leukemia Cup Regatta this year
to benefit The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society helping to fight
blood-related cancers. The regatta will consist of a Dinghy Regatta
on April 24-25 at CSC and a Keelboat Regatta on May 1-2 at DCYC
on Lake Lewisville. The Dinghy Regatta at White Rock Lake will be
open to dinghies and Corinthian Class boats. Five boats of any one
class will race as a one-design class. Boats that do not form a
one-design class will race as a handicap class. Watch the website
and future newsletters for more details. The NOR should be on the
website in a couple of weeks.
A New By-Law - Member Service Requirement
At the CSC Annual Business Meeting held on January 15th, 2004 at
Royal Oaks Country Club, a By-Laws addition was approved that encourages
involvement by all club members in club activities. As an all volunteer
organization, without any paid staff, we depend entirely on our
membership to keep the club afloat and functioning. The By-Laws
change defines a minimum service requirement which has been set
at 8 hours for 2004 and applies to each regular and associate membership.
This requirement may be fulfilled by the member, or the member's
spouse or dependents.
To assist the membership in fulfilling this requirement, projects,
such as helping with Spruce-Up Day, special club regattas or social
events, cleanup or special construction tasks, will be identified
in our club newsletter, The Mainsheet. In addition, a new Help Wanted
forum will be added to our website where requests for assistance
may be posted.
How will this be administered? It is each member's responsibility
to seek out opportunities to serve the club. As part of next year's
(2005) membership renewal, each member will be asked to state that
they have fulfilled the service requirement or remit a fee in lieu
of having performed the service. The Board has set that fee at $100
for this year.
The Member Service Requirement may be fulfilled through participation
in any of the following activities:
Helping with club sponsored work days, shoreline cleanup or
improvement projects
Assisting in a club sponsored sailing education program
Serving on race committee duty for club sponsored regattas
Helping with club sponsored social events
Participating on a Board of Director's committee
Completing other activities approved by a club officer
Your Board wants to actively involve each of you in the club's
activities, for your enjoyment as well as the club's benefit. In
many cases paying a $100 fee may seem the lesser of payment when
compared to an eight hour service requirement. We understand some
members may elect to submit $100 rather than become more actively
involved. This is a fee not a penalty and no stigma is associated
with a member's choice to elect cash over service. We look forward
to seeing more folks involved and sharing in the benefit each of
us will see.

Corinthian Fleet
The annual meeting of the fleet was held on January 10, 2004 during
which the following officers were elected:
Captain Bob Manning
Racing committee Alan Caldwell
Entertainment Rene'e and Mark Pinkston
Communications Kurt and Carla Kretsinger
Treasurer Max Hibbs
Harold Westerheim Honored
OLD SALT TROPHY for 2003 was awarded to Harold Westerheim at the
annual business meeting.
In making the award Max Hibbs described Salt as an ingredient that
gives savor, piquancy or zest. It expresses sharpness of wit, pungency,
and common sense. Salt denotes a dependable steadfast person used
in the phrase "salt of the earth". It also means a sailor
when used in the phrase "a tale worthy of an old salt".
This trophy is meant for a man who is the salt of the earth; a
man who for many years has been the backbone of the Rebel Fleet.
We give this Old Salt trophy to Harold Westerheim although over
the years he has proven that he will never grow old. Congratulations
Harold!
For The Love of the Lake
For the Love of the Lake (FTLOTL) is a grass-roots group of volunteers
working to improve White Rock Lake in cooperation with the Dallas
Park and Recreation Department. Since 1995, FTLOTL has organized
the Second Saturday Shoreline Spruce-Up. The second Saturday of

and debris at White Rock Lake. The Corinthian Sailing Club (CSC)
is one of 44 groups who have adopted a portion of the shoreline
and park to reduce the liter and make White Rock Lake safe and enjoyable
for everyone. CSC is responsible for maintaining that portion of
the shoreline in front of the club.
We want to thank Cynthia and Bryan Hagar, Warren Lyon, Bill Summitt,
Kevin Flynn, Ken and Kendra Brown, Mac McCoy, Bowman and Jim O'Connor,

MINUTES OF THE 2004 CORINTHIAN SAIL CLUB
ANNUAL MEETING
JANUARY 15th, 2004
The meeting was called to order by Frank Richards at 8:00 PM
Commodore Richards opened the meeting by welcoming the membership
and directing their attention to the by-law ballots and financial
statements on each of the tables. He then began the discussion of
old business with the reports from the board members.
OLD BUSINESS:
COMMITTEE REPORTS
Registrar of Slips and Davits - Jeff Bodkin:
Davit utilization is currently at 96% and has hovered between
that number and 93% throughout the year. Boat pad fill rates have
remained close to 60% occupancy throughout the year. It was noted
that many of the members have re-built davits in the past year and
this has helped the overall appearance of the Club facilities. Mr.
Bodkin will continue in this role for 2004
Rear Commodore Membership - Dudley Bayne:
It was noted that the Club had 201 Regular Members in 2003 plus
92 Associate and 8 Honorary for a total of 301 Memberships. Overall
we had 60 new members join the Club in 2003. Mr. Bayne will continue
as Rear Commodore Membership.
Rear Commodore Pier - Mo Berry:
Mo indicated that his efforts for 2003 were 30% under budget. Projects
undertaken in 2003 included replacing the Laser pad and walkway
nearby, renovation of the fire suppression system, replacement of
the walkway at the South gate and starting the expansion of the
tack room. Thanks were offered to Allen Schmidt for his efforts
to maintain the Club facilities. Greta Mittman was introduced as
the Rear Commodore Pier for 2004.
Rear Commodore Entertainment and Publicity - Steve and Dee McCombs:
Dee began her presentation by indicating that the social budget
for 2003 was slightly over budget and ran through a list of items
purchased for the many successful events that were hosted. It was
noted that our efforts to sell CSC coffee mugs were very successful
having sold out of inventory very quickly, but that we did have
several T-shirts available for purchase from the variety of events
sponsored by the Club in 2003. Dee felt that their efforts in 2003
held true to the traditions of the Club but was proud of the new
traditions introduced such as the Sailing for Rhino's fundraiser
which raised $1800 for conservation; boats / beer / and brats party;
and live auction at the awards dinner which raised $4,600 for the
Carol Gough Sailing Education Fund. A special thanks was offered
to Michael Mittman for acting as the auctioneer at this event. Rear
Commodore for Entertainment and Publicity in 2004 will be Bob &
Diane VanBuren.
Rear Commodore Sailing Education - Sandy Dennison
It was noted that the adult sailing program, woman's racing program,
and juniors sailing programs all had a successful year in 2003.
A special thank you went out to Bob Harrington for his work on the
adult sailing program and Kai Kunnapas for her very successful Dawn
Riley sailing clinic and fundraising dinner. Plans for 2004 will
include a Spring Break-Out Party for the juniors and a junior sailing
email subscription to better keep the information flowing. Sandy
indicated that he would return as Rear Commodore Sailing Education
for 2004.
Rear Commodore Equipment - Bob Harrington:
Accomplishments for 2003 included the purchase of a new 18' Boston
Whaler rescue boat and rebuilding the davit for same to accommodate
the additional weight. Bob thanked the many folks who helped out
with the adult sailing classes and indicated that of the 29 students
who participated in 2003 four purchased boats and are now keeping
them at the Club. Bob will continue as Rear Commodore Equipment
for 2004.
Vice Commodore - Tom Miller:
The 2003 racing program at CSC was a successful one with well
attended weekend races and many newer members taking advantage of
the Wednesday night series to increase their skill levels and enjoy
the Club. Special events for 2003 included hosting the Area F qualifying
events for the Adams and Mallory Cup competitions. A special thank
you was given to Bob Gough for his help as PRO for these events.
Additionally the format was changed for the Lake Championship which
was determined to be a success. It was noted that the Club purchased
US Sailing Rule books that are still available to the membership
at a very reasonable cost. Plans for 2004 include race management
seminars and our hosting of the dinghy portion of the Leukemia Cup
Regatta, a very prestigious and worthwhile event. A request for
volunteers to help work this event was made to the membership. Tom
will continue in his current capacity for 2004.
Treasurer - Greta Mittman:
The Club began the 2003 calendar year with $66,000 in working
capital. A budget was set for the year with $133,000 of income and
$174,000 of expenses projected. Notable capital expenses in this
budget included the purchase of the 17' Whaler rescue boat and replacement
of several piers and docks. Actual revenues for 2003 fell $11,000
short of the forecasted amount at $122,000 which was largely the
result of more stringent enrollment requirements for the Junior
Sailing camps. Additionally the Club did not receive any income
from advertising sources using the facilities. Offsetting this loss
of income was a $14,000 reduction in expenditures largely as a result
of the facility improvements and junior sailing equipment costs
coming in significantly under budget. It was noted that the social
programs did come in over budget for 2003, but generally acknowledged
that these efforts benefited the membership as a whole. The club
also supported several charitable causes related to sailing. Going
into 2004, the Club has $28,000 of working capital available. The
$52,000 in the emergency fund remains and invested in certificates
of deposit. Total reserves for the Club in 2004 are $80,000. It
was also noted that the Club still holds title to the 15' Boston
Whaler and that it is available for purchase. Susan Justus was announced
as Treasurer for 2004.
Secretary - Rob Edwards:
Commodore Richards announced that Rob was ill and unable to
attend this evenings meeting. He thanked Rob for his success in
publishing the newsletter in 2003. For 2004, Bob Manning will assume
the duties of Secretary.
BYLAW CHANGES
At this point Commodore Richards put the issue of changes to the
bylaws before the membership and introduced Jeff Bodkin, chairman
of the bylaws committee, to lead the discussion. The format used
to review and vote on the 7 proposed changes was a discussion of
the intent of each issue with an opportunity for members to raise
any questions regarding the proposal being discussed. After addressing
all questions from the members regarding the proposals the floor
was opened to discussion on each point in turn. Once the membership
had concluded the discussions each point was brought to a show of

He recognized Bob Gough for being named Area F PRO-of-the-Year and
then turned the meeting over to the incoming Commodore Richard Wade
to conduct the new business portion of the meeting.
Commodore Wade presented Frank Richards with a CSC burgee as a
gift of thanks for his stewardship of the Club in 2003 and then
introduced 5 initiatives that he would like the Club to focus on
in 2004.

CSC will join DCYC in expanding the Leukemia Cup Regatta to a two

of sponsorship, entertainment, and social events was put to the
membership.
CSC will host the US Snipe Masters Regatta on October 7-9, 2004.
A total of 30-50 boats are expected to attend this 6 race series
which will receive national attention.
Social events like the First Friday series of parties will continue

use of the facilities and participate in these events.
A long term plan for Club infrastructure improvements was suggested.

in the last 3-5 years.
Commodore Wade expressed his hope that the membership will continue
to be involved in the day to day business of the Club.
In closing Commodore Wade acknowledged that the bylaw changes have

that the intent is to make the Club a better place.

Club membership grows solidly but slowly. Regular membership increased
by 5 members during each of the past two years. The number of associate
members increased by 15 in 2002, and declined by 5 in 2003.
The above numbers are net. The total number of regular plus associate
members went up by 20 in 2002, and was constant during 2003. However,
people come and people go. During 2003, 63 new members were added
to the Club roles, so that 63 members left (moved away, got sick,
got lazy and took up golf, or whatever.) During 2002, 66 new members
were added, so that 46 went away. Honorary membership declined from
10 to 8 during 2003. One member passed away, while another requested
that they receive no more communication from the Club.
Friends of the Club increased from 4 to 10 during the past two
years. The additions were members of other sailing clubs who generously
contribute to Corinthian Sailing Club in various ways.
Respectfully submitted,
Dudley Bayne

2004 Tentative Junior Program Plans
Summer 2004 Sail Classes
Our summer 2004 program is tentatively planned to run for 10 weeks
from May 31 through August 6, with four two week sail class sessions
running from 9am-2pm each day. We are pleased that Megan Chrowstowski,

coach to round out our summer staff. Several of our more experienced
junior racing sailors will also be returning to help out with the
beginner and intermediate classes as student coaches.
Our summer program will begin with a two-week open sail class from
May 31-June 11. This class which will also be suitable for beginners.
The following week of June 14-20 will be devoted to race training

at CSC the weekend of June 19-20. After Dallas Race Week we will
hold 2 back-to-back 2 week junior sailing classes, which will include
a class geared for beginners from June 21-July 2 and an intermediate
/ advanced class from July 5 - July 15. For our racing Laser sailors
there will be a two-day Laser clinic sponsored by TSA conducted
by John Kolius at Houston Yacht Club on July 15-16. From July 17-24
our junior sailors and coaches will be in Houston to compete at
Texas Youth Race Week. We will all then return to Dallas for a final
two-week class session from July 26 - August 6, which will be open
to beginners, those who have been through the program and want more
experience and all other juniors who want to get in some more sailing
before the summer ends.

We also want to encourage junior Optimist and Laser Radial sailors
to sail in the Leukemia Cup Regatta for Dinghies at CSC April 24-25,
2004. We will run a separate course for juniors and other single
handed boats. There will be a reduced entry fee for juniors, which
will be waived if the junior comes with a donor sponsor to the Leukemia
Fund - there will be no minimum donation. The specifics will be
spelled out in the Notice of Regatta, which will soon be posted
on the CSC website. As discussed below, we plan to make the Leukemia
Cup the first stop on the new North Texas Regional Junior Circuit.
High School Sailing
