Regatta News Update – submitted by Joe Mulle

After pondering all day if there would be a race due to weather BYC sailors showed up in resounding numbers to compete on a cool wet & breezy Friday evening; seven boats competed where sails were reefed, crews told be ready to get wet and off they went.  Finishing was equally spectacular with all boats finishing within 10 minutes of one another and then correcting out all with in four minutes of each other.  In third place our second rookie of the year Andrew Hemmingway and crew about Door into Summer, second place went to the co-Chair Dan McMillan and continuing his rein of terror to take first place was 2006 Corinthian King Jerry Dunnells.   Assisting in running this wet race was Pete Captitain.

Not less 24 hours later we ran the BYC Women’s Championship races.  Four crews turned out to race the Flying Scots on a day with brilliant sunshine, cool temperatures and very shifty Northerlies.  While on the race course the lead exchanged hands many times when it came down to the finish the team of Aileen Eppig, Allison Reichel & Venessa Kordich managed to grab the first every time.   In second place was the crew of Maria Parascandola, Taryn Birkmire & Thersa (Who’s last name escapes me), third place went to the team of Daisy Holzmacher, Molly Jette, Stacey Behrens, and fourth place was captured by Christine Mullé, Barbara Schaefer & Sue Dunnells.  The Support crew helping to make this race a success was Dan McMillan, Jerry Dunnells, Ken Goodwin, Pete Capitain, Jim Reichel & son Will, Andrew Hemmingway and Chris Sicignano.  A special thanks to Dan McMillan, Hugh Larkin & Bud Caputo for use of their Flying Scots to make this event a success.

Please mark you calendars Corinthian race #4 has been rescheduled to August 24th.

SOUTH OF THE BORDER PARTY – July 14th 

      The South of The Border Party once again proved why it is the most popular event of the BYC season. 175 members and guests enjoyed the festivities at this year's party, which was hosted by Gerry & Peggy Ryan. Co-hosts at the party were Kevin & Kathy O'Brien, Emmett & Mary Jane Allen, Kenny Mathes, Peter & Karen Montgomery, Ray Mulligan, Jim & Debbie Woltmann, & Helen Kissane . Special thanks goes out to Pete Montgomery and his crew at “Sea Levels” who worked overtime performing their culinary magic on the ribs, chili and chicken quesadillas served at the party. The food was unbelievable! The margarita’s were flowing and regular bar was hopping all night. The band “Radio Daze” provided the live entertainment. Guest singer Sean (a.k.a – Jimmy Buffet) O'Malley sang the party’s theme song, Margaritaville to the delight of the crowd.  
 

HAPPY HOUR – July 25th 

      Italian vs. American was the theme of this Happy Hour. And let’s not forget the fabulous Watermelon Martinis being served on the upstairs deck. Don’t worry John, not a drop was spilled! The American table hosted back to basic foods that were a huge hit with everybody.  White Castle hamburgers (a.k.a.- Sliders), hot dog & French Fries, Grilled Cheese, Rubens & all the fixin’s.  The Italian side had Pasta with Clam Sauce, Meatballs, Risotto balls and more. 162 members had a hard time choosing which one was the winner here! Thanks to our hosts Tom & Leslie Brophy and their co-hosts: Jodi & Danny O’Donnell, Tim & Kim Turri , Karen & Tony Gambino, Carol & Bob Greene, Lisa & Ralph Benzakein, Gina & Sal Capatino, Alexis & Dave Mottes, Donna Woyevodsky, Sonya Anholzer, and Nancy & Harry O’Donnell. 
 

CLAM BAKE - July 28th 

      The annual Clambake organized by Gary and Trudi Guarino fed over 200 members, guests and crew who were treated to a seafood orgy.

Special thanks go to Master Lobster and Mussel Chef Bud Caputo, with assistance from Joe Cooper, Barry Corbett, Ron Lasley and John Bell.  You guys worked hard over those steaming hot pots to cook those lobsters to perfection and everyone appreciated you efforts! 

Ken’s Shucking Shack was as busy as ever. Opening two bushels of little necks, Ken Goodwin had assistance from Rich Tesoro.  Amazingly no band-aids were required and all fingers were accounted for! Thanks guys for all that hard work.

Working hard in the kitchen were Larry & Kathy Olsen, Jeff & Sharon Bieselin, Emil Nagel, Ken & Debbie Goodwin, Rich & Adrienne Tesoro, Andrew & Liza Sims, Lauren Goodwin, Katie & Lauren Olsen, Annie Guarino and new members Terry & Lenny Jenik.  Live music this year was provide by the Trio, Sweet & Lo.

Thanks also to all the volunteer bartenders that kept the thirsty crowd at bay.  We appreciate your pitching in to help out and taking time out from your party.

Thanks to all the members and guests that came out and supported us to make this party so much fun and so successful.  Can’t wait to do it all again next year! 
 

HAPPY HOUR – August 8th 

      125 Members enjoyed one of the most popular Happy Hours of the year.  Know as the Sean & Kathy O’Malley Bella Luna Happy Hour, it was once again hot & humid. Being down at the club was a welcome relief to the sticky weather. The Chianti was plentiful as were large array of delicious Italian delicacies and desserts.  Sean & Kathy’s co-hosts were Lisa & Ralph Benzakein, Denise & Frank Fiorino, Emily & Steve Gargano, Trish Diggle, Lucy Nicosia, & Diane Caputi. Thank you all for another great Happy Hour!

Swim Team - submitted by Doug Williamson 

The 2007 swim season was a huge success.  We had great swimmers and a great swim team.  This was all made possible by our coaches, Amy Schroeder and Kathleen Hoffman.  This was Amy and Kathleen's first year coaching and they had a lot of support from some of our parents.  The parents who helped out were:  Kathleen Bisson, Christine Calamari, Maureen Colascione, Joan Haedrich, Cathy McShane, Gail Walker, and Peggy Williamson.  These ladies were given "Candle in the Sand" Awards at the Swim Team Dinner.  Speaking of the Swim Team Awards Dinner, we could not have done it without the excellent help (as usual) of Kenny Matthes and his crew, Scott Broderick, Rick German, and Chris Carangi.  A special thanks should go to Mike, Dennis and their staff for the excellent work they did at the South Shore Qualifying Meet. 

 

Juniors  -  submitted by Dan McMillan

 

Jr./Jr. Pool Party - With a day full of rain and clouds, the weather held off long enough for 36 brave kids to come out for the Junior Junior Pool Party. The night cleared and it turned out to be a great event! On hand to provide tight security for this event were Kathryn Montalvo and her son Charlie,  Louise Guastella, Debbie and Frank Dolan, and Camille and Ron Stanton.
