| E- mail this page to your friends | | | | | | | | Diana and Llwyd Ecclestone opened their oceanfront estate to host a cocktail reception and book signing for Dame Celia Lipton Farris in celebration of her autobiography "My Three Lives". The Ecclestone�s surprised Dame Celia by enlarging pictures from the book and having them on display throughout their living room, loggia and library for guests to enjoy. The author has led a phenomenal life that could have literally been led by three different women. Her story is captured beautifully in a first and limited edition book of pictures and words entitled "My Three Lives," which is available at Amazon.com and booksellers in Palm Beach and around the nation, as well as Harrod�s in the United Kingdom. Her first life began when she was born in Edinburgh, Scotland and raised in London, England. Celia Lipton was the daughter of a famed orchestra leader and impresario. She was performing in leading roles on the London stage in her teens. She was a household name across the United Kingdom starring in BBC Radio productions of "Babes In Arms," "Strike Up The Band" and "The Wizard of Oz." On the stage Celia Lipton performed at the London Palladium in her own one woman show at the age of 16. As a singer, she recorded on Columbia Records at the famed Abbey Road Studios. Today, her recordings are played on the BBC throughout the United Kingdom (UK) and on radio stations across the United States. Her career as a singer and recording artist is celebrated in the "Jazz Archives�"of the UK. Celia Lipton�s career as stage actress and singer is chronicled at the Theater Hall of Fame in New York�s Gershwin Theatre. She serves as the Honorary Chairwoman of the Theater Guild, and was recently inducted in the Theater Hall of Fame. British actress and singer, Dame Celia Lipton Farris is an extraordinary woman whose life could have been lived by three different women. Her story introduces us to a constellation of stars, screen legends, royalty and captains of business and industry all during the glamorous golden era of Hollywood. Despite many personal tragedies and hardship, her tenacity, talent, and generosity of spirit triumph in the end. Her story is the truly what movies are made off. Attention!

Joe Tringali, Editor Dindy Murphy, Assoc. Editor<br /> Photo: Keturah under sail<br /> <strong>Llwyd</strong> <strong>Ecclestone</strong> <strong>Program</strong> <strong>Will</strong> <strong>Be</strong> a <strong>Sellout</strong>!<br /> On Wednesday, February 21, 2007, the <strong>Sailing</strong> Club presents a multi-media evening on world class racing<br /> and cruising by renown sailor <strong>Llwyd</strong> <strong>Ecclestone</strong>. <strong>Llwyd</strong> has been a member of PBSC for many years but this is<br /> his fi rst program appearance at our club since his schedule has just recently allowed an opening. Not the usual<br /> internationally acclaimed racer known only as a racer, he is prominent as a major real estate developer, a worldwide<br /> cruising enthusiast, and a sailor immersed in the technical details of making his boats go fast.<br /> <strong>Ecclestone</strong> grew up in Detroit, learned to sail in small boats, and at age 17 sailed and raced his fi rst<br /> offshore yacht, a 38’ S&S yawl named Bikini. A 50’ Ted Hood design with the same name followed in 1968.* As<br /> racing skills and interest increased, his selection of names changed to more serious racing choices, Dynamite,<br /> again by Ted Hood, and Kodiak by German Frers. In 1972 <strong>Llwyd</strong> sailed Dynamite representing the Bayview Yacht<br /> Club in the prestigious Canada’s Cup, a match yacht race which he won.<br /> He has raced in 28 Port Huron-Mackinac, 17 Newport-<strong>Be</strong>rmudas, 13 Chicago-Macs, and cruised all over<br /> the world. He won the Chicago-Mac in 1990, but his proudest victory is the 1998 <strong>Be</strong>rmuda Race on Kodiak, and<br /> when he won the Lighthouse Trophy for the fi rst overall.<br /> His latest yacht is another Frers design, a sloop of 94 feet named Keturah. Perhaps not designed strictly<br /> for racing, but surely a luxurious and fast cruiser as well. And knowing <strong>Llwyd</strong>, she will continue winning races.<br /> Please join us in welcoming <strong>Llwyd</strong> <strong>Ecclestone</strong> to his club on Wednesday, February 21. See page 3 for menu.<br /> *Ned’s note: I remember seeing <strong>Llwyd</strong> and his 50’ Bikini at the PBSC Memorial Day race to West End, Bahamas in the early 1970’s.<br /> This program is guaranteed to be a sellout, so call the TACK line (881-8225) now. Reservations will be limited to the fi rst<br /> 125 paid (and yes, you can use your club account, but if you do you will be charged even if you don’t show up). <strong>Be</strong>cause of<br /> space limitations there will be no exceptions!

I am honored.<br /> I would also like to thank the 60+ members who<br /> attended the Change of Watch ceremony. In particular, I<br /> want to thank former members Jim and Kay Peterson<br /> for providing the cannon and Jim Peterson for serving as<br /> Adjutant for the ceremony. A special thank you goes to<br /> the new Junior Board of Directors for looking so elegant in<br /> their blue and tan uniforms. They were, and will continue<br /> to be, an inspiration to me and all of the Board to do all we<br /> can to make their efforts on behalf of the Junior <strong>Sailing</strong><br /> <strong>Program</strong> succeed in an ever increasing way.<br /> I would also like to thank P/C Lou Daniello, (Org.)<br /> for offering to purchase a cannon for the Club.<br /> I would like to thank my wife, Karen, for arranging<br /> the lunch. Thanks also to Karen and Kathleen Chalaire,<br /> Social Chair, who served Mimosas and Bloody Mary’s<br /> prior to the ceremony.<br /> Another very special thank you goes to John<br /> Gross who arranged to purchase the tractor Brandon<br /> Cairnes uses to trim the lawn. This tractor will also be<br /> equipped with a trailer hitch to help in moving boats<br /> around the property. John is donating a hand mower to<br /> further assist in maintaining the grounds.<br /> A winch has been installed on the fl oating ramp—<br /> try it next time you launch your boat. You can preserve<br /> the ramp by using it for only for dollies. A reminder sign<br /> is being posted:<br /> DOLLIES ONLY ON THIS RAMP<br /> TRAILERS AND TOW VEHICLES<br /> USE CONCRETE RAMP AT SOUTH<br /> END OF WATERFRONT<br /> Finally, I would like to thank all of the members<br /> who have accepted chairmanships of committees. We<br /> are again including a list of this year’s committees and<br /> are asking each member to fi nd a place on at least one<br /> committee to help our Club be even better. We need a<br /> chairman for Lawn Games, Membership Retention, Boat<br /> House Paintings Preservation, Tennis Court Feasibility,<br /> Friday Night Food/<strong>Program</strong>s, Boat House Restroom and<br /> Transient Boat Pump-outs.<br /> Jim Sattelmeier<br /> Membership Committee Meets<br /> Wednesday, February 7 at 6:30 p.m.<br /> Are you interested in learning more about the<br /> Membership Committee at the PBSC?

This article<br /> will concentrate on 2007, with suggestions as to how<br /> to improve this new year by learning from past years,<br /> especially those from 1996 through 2006, the years of<br /> our ownership of this property.<br /> At our fi rst offi cial club function in 1996, a<br /> barbecue held on scrubby grass close to the scrubby<br /> club house, we were pleasantly surprised at the turnout<br /> of close to 100 members. Surprised perhaps because<br /> PBSC dues had just then been increased from $150<br /> to $500, and we feared a loss of membership, which<br /> fortunately did not happen.<br /> The Quartermaster had the foresight for that<br /> event to order 50 knit shirts with the club’s logo, similar<br /> to our present ones, except with the years 1966 - 1996<br /> embroidered under the logo. I remember the occasion<br /> clearly, since my grandson Christopher Hornig (age 13,<br /> a family member of the club at that time) had agreed to<br /> hawk these to the attendees, and sold every one! I still<br /> have mine, a bit worse for wear. At what event have we<br /> sold 50 shirts (at a profi t) since then?<br /> The Boathouse was a prime attraction at 4600,<br /> but the second fl oor had no windows, either from<br /> neglect, storms, or miss-use as a boathouse of ill repute.<br /> At a club meeting in 1997 we sold new aluminum<br /> windows with plaques naming each window for its<br /> contributor. I’m afraid today we add such items into our<br /> overworked expense budget, hoping for the best.<br /> Raffle Dazzle - From the Mainsheet, October,<br /> 2000: Members and guests have been generous in<br /> raffl es at meetings, with tickets $1 each, or 7 for $5. We<br /> have netted an average of about $90 pure profi t for the<br /> club at each raffl e event. 50/50, or donate a prize. Who<br /> will chair this fun event for 2007?<br /> From the beginning our annual party was held<br /> as a holiday affair at a member’s home, pot-luck, with<br /> boat crews invited. New offi cers were announced,<br /> and attendance was always many more than our total<br /> membership - a big fun family. Today is different. The<br /> party is a ball, with live music, and with a catered supper<br /> (Prime rib), and with concerns as to attendance, costs,<br /> etc. In recent years we have tried to ensure a profi t on<br /> such affairs, but since there are many fi xed expenses<br /> (music, invitations, etc.) we have seldom succeeded.<br /> The best way to estimate charges for such a happening<br /> is to know charges and results of the recent past<br /> (from available information): Remember, fund raising<br /> is necessary for the continuance of most clubs, and<br /> member participation and income from activities are<br /> effective means of fund raising!<br /> Dues are not considered as fees. They are<br /> for support of our infrastructure , taxes, mortgage,<br /> insurance, maintenance of property and buildings,<br /> and utilities. As such, they are generally applicable to<br /> all members regardless of their special interests in the<br /> club. As such they are generally raised only in keeping<br /> with the published Consumer Price Index, effectively<br /> keeping us “level”. To this end, the Board has approved<br /> a dues increase of 5% for 2007.<br /> Further, for 2007 our budget suggests a total of<br /> $126,000 income from dues compared with expenses of<br /> infrastructure of $134,299. Thus the increase mentioned<br /> above puts us in line for the coming year (at least as far<br /> as dues are concerned).<br /> May I repeat a paragraph from the March 1999<br /> Mainsheet: “Perhaps it’s reasonable to suggest that each<br /> member’s purpose in joining the club, in addition to an<br /> enhanced opportunity to sail and associate with other<br /> sailors, should be to help in the support and growth of<br /> an organization which has not previously existed in its<br /> present form, and yet is vital to the future of our sport<br /> and our community.”<br /> Neditorials a Part of the Past<br /> NG<br /> I’ve enjoyed the many years of editing your<br /> Mainsheet (except perhaps for lapses in creativity,<br /> trips to the bulk mail department, deadlines, editing,<br /> attempts at humor, not to mention typing with only<br /> eight fi ngers).<br /> But all great high paying jobs must come to an<br /> end, so at least a portion of this Mainsheet will be my<br /> last. Joe Tringali will edit this fi ne newsletter from now<br /> on, and I hope each of you will welcome him for the<br /> improvements sure to result.<br /> This by no means diminishes my interest in<br /> PBSC, and I will continue as a director. Perhaps Joe will<br /> even allow an occasional article from me in the future.<br /> <strong>Be</strong>st wishes to Joe, and thanks for all who have helped<br /> in the past.<br /> Kindest regards,<br /> Ned Goddard<br /> Or jo in us at the PBS C!<br /> Pilates Mat: Mo n. 7PM<br /> Yoga : Thurs. 12:15PM<br /> Drop -ins w elcom e for $ 15/per class,<br /> bas ed on av aila bility.<br /> Strength, flexibility, stress<br /> reduction…<br /> Let us customize a fitness<br /> program for employees at<br /> your office.<br /> We specialize in Pilates and Yoga.<br /> Call for a demonstration class!<br /> Co ntac t Th erese:<br /> 561-281-5895<br /> [email protected]<br /> www.Li vingFitToday.com Page 5 FEBRUARY 2007<br /> A Wonderful Message from<br /> Some Dear Member Friends<br /> By Ned Goddard<br /> Back in the mid-nineties we welcomed to PBSC<br /> membership an extremely attractive couple with an<br /> interest in sailing. Having recently moved to south<br /> Florida after a very successful ‘dot-com’ business<br /> elsewhere, Craig & Linda McKee entered into the sailing<br /> and social life at 4600. Our directory at that time shows a<br /> boat named Insouciant (with no other information) but<br /> much of their sailing was as crew on our Alondra.<br /> A party hosted by Craig and Linda at their<br /> luxurious double condo at Old Port Cove was held<br /> soon afterwards to show plans and pictures of work<br /> in progress in Holland of their Trintella 59’ aluminum<br /> hulled yacht to be named Mona Lisa. On completion,<br /> many of their PBSC friends were invited to Holland for<br /> the three-day commissioning party and ceremony.<br /> Those able to make the trip reported a wonderful party<br /> and an absolutely gorgeous yacht with state-of-the-art<br /> equipment throughout.<br /> An extensive shake-down cruise continued for<br /> the next few years throughout Scandinavia, Europe,<br /> and Britain, with Mainsheet reports whenever possible.<br /> Excerpts from our publication of April 2001 follow:<br /> “Mona Lisa is 59 feet overall, with a 100 foot carbon<br /> fi ber unstayed mast. It features an AeroRig self<br /> tending jib design for effi cient and short-handed<br /> sailing ease. The navigation and communications<br /> equipment includes two SSBs, two radars, two<br /> GPSs, Satcom-c, etc. The sextant relied on in event<br /> of electronic failure was never used because of<br /> weather in the English Channel and Irish Sea -<br /> unable to take a single sight!”<br /> Then, after six years, imagine our surprise and<br /> delight to receive this email dated January 16, 2007 from<br /> the McKees:<br /> Dear Ned, I just received the dues invoice from<br /> PBSC and your note. Although we almost never are in<br /> NPB, we are pleased to support the PBSC.<br /> We are sailing full time on “The World of<br /> ResidenSea” on which we own an apartment. I am<br /> writing this email at sea enroute from South Georgia<br /> Island to Ushuaia. From there we go on to 8 days in<br /> Antartica. The web site for the World is below, at which<br /> you can see our itinerary and other information. http:/<br /> www.aboardTheWorld.com/<br /> If you are wondering about our beloved yacht<br /> Mona Lisa, she is still for sale. You can see her at this<br /> web site. http://www.yachtMonaLisa.com. If you know<br /> a world cruiser looking for the ultimate yacht, please<br /> inform them of Mona Lisa’s web site.<br /> <strong>Be</strong>st Regards, Craig McKee<br /> Note: We will reply to this email with thanks and<br /> with a request to send Mainsheet articles of interest to<br /> the club as time permits.<br /> PBSC Couple’s Book Goes National<br /> Yachting Customs and Courtesies, Third Edition<br /> – the book that made its debut in the PBSC lounge a few<br /> months ago – is receiving national coverage. Our very<br /> own P/C Joseph A. Tringali will be doing a book signing<br /> at the United States Power Squadrons national meeting in<br /> Jacksonville on February 22 and 23 of this year. He and wife<br /> Mary Lou Tringali will barely have time to get home and<br /> unpack before they drive up to Stuart where Joe will lecture<br /> at a dinner meeting at the Chapman School of Seamanship<br /> on March 16. A few days later they’ll fl y to Newport, Rhode<br /> Island where Joe will do his thing at the Museum of Yachting,<br /> with a stop at the International Yacht Restoration School.<br /> The couple was interviewed recently by Soundings,<br /> and Mary Lou fi nally got the credit she deserved for collecting<br /> over 800 burgee graphics and 2,000 yacht club listings. They<br /> have also been told to watch for a lengthy (and they hope<br /> favorable) book review in The Ensign magazine which goes<br /> out to 50,000 readers. If you haven’t seen a copy of the<br /> book yet, check it out – many of the photos were taken right<br /> here at <strong>Palm</strong> <strong>Be</strong>ach <strong>Sailing</strong> Club. Type in “Yachting Customs<br /> and Courtesies Third Edition” on any Internet search engine<br /> (Google works great) and see what happens.<br /> Food Fight!<br /> (or, <strong>Be</strong>at the Chef)<br /> Would you like to be declared “Chef Extraordinaire,”<br /> see your name in lights (well, okay, on a whiteboard), and<br /> (possibly) hear the applause of your fellow members? Here’s<br /> your chance!<br /> Friday night “Grub at the Pub” has developed a loyal<br /> following. Any Friday evening you can meet 30 or so of<br /> your friends around the Club bar as they enjoy each other’s<br /> company and try to get Claude to sing. The food is provided<br /> by members and payment is always on the “on-your-honordrop-fi<br /> ve-bucks-in-the-piggy” system. That’s not going to<br /> change! Friday is still a no-reservations, have-fun night. But<br /> here’s something new: A Food Fight!<br /> All right, you can call it a “Toque Challenge,” or “<strong>Be</strong>at<br /> the Chef,” but whatever you call it, here’s how it works: any<br /> member (that means you) can challenge for the title of Chef<br /> Extraordinaire. All you have to do is select a Friday night,<br /> call Karen Sattelmeier, say, “I challenge!” and tell her your<br /> specialty. The club will pay your expenses up to $50 so you<br /> can put out your best effort, and Grub-at-the-Pubbers will<br /> decide if you get the coveted Chef’s Toque for the night!<br /> Challenging Chef P/C Joe Tringali has signed up for<br /> Friday, February 9, and says he will stick to his tried-and-true<br /> menu of baked pasta, meatballs, sausage with peppers and<br /> onions, Caesar salad and garlic bread. YOU can be one of<br /> the people who decides whether Joe gets the award or fl ops<br /> miserably. All you have to do is show up on Friday, February<br /> 9, drop a fi ver in the piggy, eat and vote!<br /> YOU can also show off your cooking talent. Sign up<br /> on the whiteboard in the lounge and declare your menu. Page 6 FEBRUARY 2007<br /> The Watch is Changed<br /> Some seventy – count ‘em 70 -- members and<br /> guests participated in our annual Change of Watch<br /> on Sunday, January 14, 2007. The formal ceremony<br /> included the offi cial swearing in of fl ag offi cers, and a<br /> special induction of P/C Joe Fields into the International<br /> Order of the Blue Gavel. And, as if that were not enough<br /> for one day, history was made when Commodore<br /> Jim Sattelmeier swore in the very fi rst offi cers of the<br /> Junior <strong>Sailing</strong> Club. Jr Com. Colleen Hartman, Jr.V/C<br /> Erick Fields, Jr.R/C Dana LoBouno, Jr.Sec. Gabrielle<br /> Nepa, and Junior Board Members Andrew Britton<br /> and Wade Waddell responded with a snappy, wellrehearsed<br /> salute when the Commodore declared them<br /> duly installed. They truly are the future leaders of this<br /> club.<br /> The formal ceremony was followed by a<br /> luncheon of traditional New England Clam Chowder<br /> and fi nger sandwiches, washed down by delicious<br /> Bloody Marys and Mimosas.<br /> After lunch, it was time for sailing, as our newlyinstalled<br /> Fleet Captain, P/C Robin Baker led a group of<br /> dedicated, well-fed sailors in a challenge of the Junior<br /> Club. The weather was perfect: the sun sparkled off the<br /> deep blue water and a stiff morning breeze laid down<br /> to more manageable conditions. All in all, it was the<br /> perfect combination of dress-up formality and goodtime<br /> sailing: the kind of day that made you glad to be a<br /> member of <strong>Palm</strong> <strong>Be</strong>ach <strong>Sailing</strong> Club.<br /> Junior Sailors with Joe Fields at<br /> Change of Watch<br /> Representing the Mediterranean Style<br /> Luxury Waterfront Community in<br /> North <strong>Palm</strong> <strong>Be</strong>ach, Florida<br /> Isola Grande<br /> <br /> Slips for Yachts Up to 65 Ft.<br /> Luxury Waterfront Living<br /> Starting at $1.7 Million<br /> Darrell Naquin<br /> 561-832-4663 Office<br /> 561-358-9893 Cell<br /> [email protected]<br /> The Junior Board<br /> Page 7 FEBRUARY 2007<br /> Offshore Antics<br /> February is here and the bigger boats have a<br /> couple of events scheduled.

Ten boats total.<br /> The situation: In marginal planing conditions,<br /> there is a certain “inevitability” to what is going to<br /> happen. The Snipe, being a heavier, older design,<br /> is simply not going to jump up onto a plane, go as<br /> fast when it gets there or stay on a plane as long as a<br /> much lighter, powered up boat like a Megabite. And,<br /> as the lighter boats jump onto a plane and come up<br /> from behind, they will approach the slower boat with<br /> blazing speed.<br /> So, in order to win a race in a fl eet of this kind,<br /> the Snipe has to excel on the windward legs. The<br /> Snipe has to work extra hard to get in front at the<br /> fi rst windward mark. Winning the race then depends<br /> upon protecting that lead. To do this, it is necessary<br /> 3129 SE Dominica Terrace<br /> Stuart, FL 34997<br /> (772)283.2306<br /> FAX (772) 283.2483<br /> to prevent getting “rolled” by the faster reaching boats<br /> on the reaching legs. So, what can the slower boat do?<br /> Two things, seems to me: fi rst, as soon as you get on<br /> the reaching leg, position yourself high so that it is clear<br /> to the following boats that they will have a big penalty<br /> to pay by going way up to windward in order to pass<br /> you to windward, and that you aren’t going to give up<br /> without a fi ght. Secondly, do this early. If you wait until<br /> the faster boats are on your tail before you go up to<br /> windward, they will be past you before you know it.<br /> Lesson learned by the Monday Morning Sailor:<br /> In marginal planing conditions, to protect yourself<br /> from being passed to windward, position yourself<br /> to windward of the fl eet early, in order to deter the<br /> following boats from trying to pass you to windward.<br /> Coyote Accounting Inc.<br /> Let us help you get to the point!<br /> ¸ Income Tax Preparation<br /> ¸ Small Business Accounting<br /> ¸ Payroll<br /> ¸ Employee <strong>Be</strong>nefits<br /> ¸ Life, Health, and LTC Insurance<br /> 561-779-2218<br /> www.

These are conditions our kids<br /> rarely see and they handled it well.<br /> We had perfect sailing conditions; the kids had<br /> a great time, and Lauderdale Yacht Club put on a well<br /> run, fun-fi lled regatta. “Awesome” is the only word to<br /> describe it.<br /> PBSC kids once again did a great job, with<br /> everyone showing improvement. <strong>Sailing</strong> conditions can<br /> be very tough in Fort Lauderdale. Inside the harbor you<br /> must negotiate local conditions like buildings that block<br /> or bend the wind, a sand bar that will put you aground<br /> In the Opti Green Fleet, Cody Stansky was our<br /> top sailor fi nishing an outstanding third place out of<br /> 53 boats! Cody has moved up the ladder in fi nishes in<br /> every regatta and was tied for fi rst place after the fi rst<br /> day.

Jessica Fields fi nished 32nd and, in my mind,<br /> took the most prestigious award given at the regatta:<br /> Valentines Day & Washington’s Birthday Regatta!<br /> the Sportsmanship Trophy. She was given this honor for<br /> helping another sailor who had fl ipped over during a<br /> race. Jess jumped out of her boat and helped the other<br /> sailor bail out his boat – all of it after she herself had<br /> fl ipped and hit a mark and did her penalty circle while<br /> full of water! She was truly amazing! LYC recognized<br /> her at the award ceremony and the top ranked woman<br /> Laser Radial sailor in the world presented her with the<br /> award. How cool is that!

Joe Tringali, Editor Dindy Murphy, Assoc. Editor Photo: Keturah under sail <strong>Llwyd</strong> <strong>Ecclestone</strong> <strong>Program</strong> <strong>Will</strong> <strong>Be</strong> a <strong>Sellout</strong>! On Wednesday, February 21, 2007, the <strong>Sailing</strong> Club presents a multi-media evening on world class racing and cruising by renown sailor <strong>Llwyd</strong> <strong>Ecclestone</strong>. <strong>Llwyd</strong> has been a member of PBSC for many years but this is his fi rst program appearance at our club since his schedule has just recently allowed an opening. Not the usual internationally acclaimed racer known only as a racer, he is prominent as a major real estate developer, a worldwide cruising enthusiast, and a sailor immersed in the technical details of making his boats go fast. <strong>Ecclestone</strong> grew up in Detroit, learned to sail in small boats, and at age 17 sailed and raced his fi rst offshore yacht, a 38’ S&S yawl named Bikini. A 50’ Ted Hood design with the same name followed in 1968.* As racing skills and interest increased, his selection of names changed to more serious racing choices, Dynamite, again by Ted Hood, and Kodiak by German Frers. In 1972 <strong>Llwyd</strong> sailed Dynamite representing the Bayview Yacht Club in the prestigious Canada’s Cup, a match yacht race which he won. He has raced in 28 Port Huron-Mackinac, 17 Newport-<strong>Be</strong>rmudas, 13 Chicago-Macs, and cruised all over the world. He won the Chicago-Mac in 1990, but his proudest victory is the 1998 <strong>Be</strong>rmuda Race on Kodiak, and when he won the Lighthouse Trophy for the fi rst overall. His latest yacht is another Frers design, a sloop of 94 feet named Keturah. Perhaps not designed strictly for racing, but surely a luxurious and fast cruiser as well. And knowing <strong>Llwyd</strong>, she will continue winning races. Please join us in welcoming <strong>Llwyd</strong> <strong>Ecclestone</strong> to his club on Wednesday, February 21. See page 3 for menu. *Ned’s note: I remember seeing <strong>Llwyd</strong> and his 50’ Bikini at the PBSC Memorial Day race to West End, Bahamas in the early 1970’s. This program is guaranteed to be a sellout, so call the TACK line (881-8225) now. Reservations will be limited to the fi rst 125 paid (and yes, you can use your club account, but if you do you will be charged even if you don’t show up). <strong>Be</strong>cause of space limitations there will be no exceptions! Don’t be disappointed – make your call now. Tickets are $20.00 per person. Please make your payment by 2/17. - Page 2 and 3: The Mainsheet Celebrating 40 years!

 Celebrity Homes Mailing List | | | | For this talk to make sense, you need to know a little bit about me. | | | | I’ve loved boats since I was a child. My early experience with ocean going vessels was as a navigator on racing sailing yachts. | | | This is a 1970’s picture of Llwyd Ecclestone’s (Herman) designed “Volcano”. I found that early in the Florida winter racing season I would be seasick if I spent prolonged time at the navigator’s station. By the end of the season I could handle anything, but it wore off during the calm summer racing months and the malady reared its ugly head when winter racing started again. I mention it here to state firmly, for those of you without the susceptibility, that seasickness is not a pleasant experience. My first awakening to the prevalence of people who are more susceptible to sea sickness than I am, occurred in the late 1970’s when, as a divorced bachelor living right here in Palm Beach, I acquired my first significant boat, ‘Prime Time’, | | | a 14 year old, classic, 1963, 51 foot, Rybovich sport fishing boat. Friends had been entertaining me at their homes for several years, at a time when I had no way to reciprocate except by inviting them to my Yacht Club or a restaurant. My Captain, at that time, was a good cook and as freshly caught Mahi-Mahi made for a wonderful meal, I thought I would invite my friends for dinner aboard. Believing that my friends who had their own sport fishing boats would not be particularly interested in being aboard my boat, I initially invited friends who didn’t have boats. Surprisingly, what I learned was that people living near the sea coast, who can afford a boat, but don’t have a boat, very often suffer from a high susceptibility to sea sickness. I had comments like: “I would get seasick as soon as you cast off” and “You’d feed me and soon I’d be feeding the fish.” Many years later, when I married Renate, the love of my life, I knew she had the malady – she had told me that as a child she would get sick riding a trolley car. Now, that is high susceptibility! But Renate is a good sport and we spent a great deal of time on | | | our 115 foot Burger ‘Silver Cloud’ in the Bahamas, the Caribbean, the Med, on the Rhine and Danube Rivers, and later on a trip to St. Petersburg, Russia, with several calls at the major ports in Scandinavia. The next summer we cruised the Inland Waterway between Seattle and Glacier Bay, Alaska. While during these years we left most passage making to the crew, we would inevitably be caught in a Mediterranean mistral, the Caribbean Christmas Winds or some other rough sea, a few times each year. During my past experiences of getting seasick navigating sailboats, I would snap back to feeling fine as soon as the boat entered a harbor. Renate, on the other hand, feels poorly for a day or two after a rough sea encounter. Having generally accepted the belief that ‘bigger was better’, | | | we traded the Burger for the 16 year oldie-but-beautiful (1986) 143 foot, Feadship ‘Silver Cloud’. She was formerly ‘Cakewalk’ and then Greg Norman’s ‘Aussie Rules’. We rationalized that we would justify the difference in capital and operating costs by chartering. Unfortunately we found that in similar seas the motions of the Feadship affected Renate even more than the motions of the smaller Burger. I have a theory about it but haven’t tried to prove it. | | | This is navy researcher Michael McCauley’s graph resulting from paying college students to sit on a chair, on a platform, that, as shown on the horizontal axis, could rise and fall at variable frequencies, and, as shown on the axis moving to the rear, varying amplitudes,. The vertical axis, nicknamed by some as the barf axis, is the % of chair riders who became sick after being on the chair for 2 hours. My theory is that the natural period of the Burger was to the right of the roughly 6 second human peak sensitivity, and the Feadship perhaps close to the peak. The SWATH’s natural period is significantly to the left. My Captain, Steve Martin, had observed that on a typical charter, when there were 10 guests on board, 2 or 3 guests would be laid low in relatively mild sea conditions. As a result the Feadship didn’t travel much during charters, but was used more or less as a hotel/cocktail lounge; a trait we had frequently observed was the practice of most yachts, where the crew moved the boat and the owners then flew in. By late 2004, these observations and experiences triggered my interest in finding a better solution to sea sickness than: ‘bigger is better’. I started by exploring nontraditional designs: catamarans, trimarans, jet drive fast ferries and hydrofoils. I wrote to some of the yards that were building them. One Australian shipyard owner suggested I explore a SWATH design. (SWATH stands for: Small Waterplane Area Twin Hull). That was the first time I had learned of that word applied to a type of boat. Through further study and a Google search I learned that the basic concept for the SWATH design dates back to at least the 1930’s. The difficulty of achieving both thin struts (i.e. a Small Waterplane Area) and high strength and then having to live with the resulting nontraditional look had not led to anyone opting for a SWATH yacht. The search led Renate and me to visit 3 shipyards that had designed or built SWATH commercial vessels. They were being used as pilot boats, dive boats, research vessels, ferry boats, a dinner cruise boat in Hawaii and boats to service oil rigs and wind generators in the North Sea. That soon led to us taking rides on three SWATH boats. | | | Abeking and Rasmussen provided this video of their 82 foot pilot boat, in the background, running in the same sea as a 164 foot German coast guard vessel in the foreground. Quite impressive, I think! It soon became very clear that A&R had the most well developed and sophisticated technology. Incidentally, I would like to do a similar video with ‘Silver Cloud’ and a significantly larger recently delivered yacht, but so far we have had no takers. | | | On a day in June 2005 in the North Sea on an 82 foot A&R built pilot boat, identical to the one in the video, in sea conditions that would have had Renate seasick had we been on the Feadship, she was reading and knitting as my Captain and I were learning as much as we could about this unusual technology. Renate and I became convinced that the SWATH design was the answer we had been looking for. By March 2006, we had nailed down the design and specifications and went to contract. It was to be the world’s first significant SWATH yacht. The new Silver Cloud would be 134 foot LOA with a beam of 58 feet and a draft of 13 and a half feet. Silver Cloud has not been out of the water since her July 2008 launch. | | | This image, taken the day she was launched, clearly shows the ‘Small Waterplane Area’ and ‘Twin Hulls’. The cross sectional area of the struts is 1/6 that of a conventional mono hull (or a catamaran’s double hulls), with 5/6ths of the displacement in the submerged twin hulls riding in calm water. All scuba divers, and submariners, know that you only need to be a few feet underwater to avoid being bounced around as one is on the surface. Floating oil rig platforms are stable for the same reason. Most displacement is underwater with minimal diameter support columns protruding the water surface. In this photo you can see the four large, individually computer controlled, stabilizer fins, facing inboard. The stabilizers bring the inherent 6 to 1 improvement to about 10 to 1. | | | Fresh water tanks, fuel tanks, engines, generators, water makers, waste treatment facilities and air conditioning compressors, are all in the lower hulls; providing Silver Cloud with low noise and vibration, without having to resort to room-within-a-room construction. | | | In August 2008 we began sea trials in the North Sea. We were fortunate in finding some 6 to 7 foot seas, as at this time of year calm seas generally prevail. It very quickly became clear that Silver Cloud met all of her specifications and that we had made the right decision in commissioning A&R to build our SWATH. We began our passage to Palm Beach on a very relaxed schedule in October 2008 with built-in slack for any problems that might arise, as this was, in reality, our shakedown cruise. We had a variety of friends aboard on every leg. Our chosen route was from the A&R shipyard, north of Bremen, Germany, on the (Veyser) Weser River, to the North Sea, then west through the English Channel, turning south in the Atlantic Ocean, across the Bay of Biscay, through the Straits of Gibraltar to the British port of Gibraltar with its low cost fuel. We then headed south west to the Canary Islands and then on to St Thomas, in the US Virgin Islands. With all guest suites full, we made passage from St Thomas to Palm Beach. | | | During the passages we experienced a good cross section of the seas we might expect to encounter over time. In the North Sea there were 6 to 10 foot quartering, short period seas. Coming across the Bay of Biscay, the periods were longer and included swells. On some days we cruised in calm water with only mild swells, with the wind behind us, and on other days we endured beam, quartering and head seas of 10 to 16 foot, with occasional 20 to 23 foot rogue waves. | | | Silver Cloud’s broad beam permits a very spacious main salon. Its long dimension runs port to starboard. All meals were served at one of our two dining tables and at no time was stemware upset. Vases remained in place most of the time, being set on the floor only when seas were forecast such that they might include rogue waves. (Note the vase on the sideboard; it is not secured in any way). The boat has quite a remarkable ride. On a couple of the roughest days Renate was uncomfortable, but never sick. None of our guests were seasick. | | | | | The full beam Master Suite on the Upper Deck, with its 180 degree view forward, is to die for. As Silver Cloud spends a relatively large percentage of its time at sea with continuously changing scenery, the view is much more interesting than the day to day view one gets in a marina. My experience has been that looking forward is the most exciting view. We placed the bed on a platform so that one can see the horizon while lying in bed. The privacy the Upper Deck provides us is wonderful. We have separate heads, Renate’s being quite spacious. I have a separate study/office. There is an exercise room and pantry. | | | We do invite guests to our spacious sky lounge with its 65 inch LED monitor, which deploys from the ceiling, and 4 large power reclining chairs. The chairs are so comfortable that many guests fall asleep before the movie is over. | | | | The Pilot House, the deck above the Owner’s Suite, also has 180 degrees of windows. Also on the deck are wing stations, the Captains Suite and a large Jacuzzi. | | | On the private deck forward of the Owner’s Suite is a fully equipped navigation station capable of fully controlling the boat as well as remote displaying any display from the bridge. I have an arrangement with my Captain: When the weather is nice it’s my boat, when it’s inclement, it’s his boat. Using a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse one of the monitors can be a computer monitor or the monitors can display Current Corporation’s multi capable mast cameras: thermal imager, extremely high sensitivity black and white camera or 10x optical zoom high definition color camera. The station, with multiple chairs, can also be an entertainment center, viewing satellite TV or DVD’s. The crew loves the very generous size crew mess, crew quarters, galley and pantry, all located forward on the main deck. There is a great deal of storage space in the tweendeck space (the space below the main deck), accessed through hatches in the bow, galley and crew mess. In addition to supplies and spares, there is space for storing our clothing and personal effects when Silver Cloud is on charter. After hosting a week of parties aboard in Palm Beach (with a tent on the helideck), we spent the 2008 Christmas holiday week very comfortably on the hook, scuba diving in the Bahamas with kids and grandkids aboard. While the 13 and a half to 11 and a half foot draft keeps us out of some locations and some harbors, Silver Cloud’s SWATH stability makes for comfortable anchoring without breakwater protection. In early 2009 we headed for the Panama Canal and then to Cabo San Lucas. | | | The whale watching was spectacular. (Because of the swine flu epidemic, we were advised to avoid the Mexican mainland.) We hosted parties in San Diego, San Francisco and Seattle; | | | | | and then stopped in Victoria, on Vancouver Island, to see the beautiful Butchart Gardens. After a stop in Vancouver, BC, we headed up Canada’s inland waterway to Alaska. | | | There was always something exciting to see; these are Orcas; the male has the big fin. Our stops included Port McNeil, Port Hardy, Ketchikan, Sitka, Kake, the Sawyer Glacier in Tracy Arm and Juneau. (We skipped Glacier Bay, as we had been there on a previous trip.) From Juneau we took the great circle route to Japan which took us north of the Aleutian Islands in a North Westerly direction, close enough to Dutch Harbor to be worth a visit. | | | American Bald Eagles put on a spectacular 4 of July show for us. This eagle is on our helideck railing. | | | Notice that one of these eagles is on his back. | | | This eagle is on our helideck. | | | | | This shot prompted an ad. | | | This, I think, is beauty in motion! We stopped at Adak as the great circle route crossed the Aleutian Islands a second time, this time as we were heading South West; it’s a dreary place. | | | Porpoises love Silver Cloud’s bow pressure wave. I count 12 porpoises in this image and there were probably an equal number at the starboard bow’s submerged hull. Always entertaining! | | | This is Japan’s Mt Fuji. A Kiwi live-aboard guide, fluent in Japanese and well familiar with our 15 ports of call, spent 6 weeks with us as we cruised most of Japan south of Tokyo | | | This image is of the famous Otorii Gate leading to the Shinto shrine on Miyajima Island. It’s in shallow water, and when the tide is out, one can walk there.
While we saw places that any tourist might visit, we never had to pack a bag or sleep in a strange bed (or on floor mats). We only ate Japanese food when we chose to. Delightful! | | | We spent several days scuba diving and seeing the sights in Okinawa, Palau and Yap. This manta ray, in the waters of Yap, was about 10-feet from tip to tip. The manta had come to a cleaning station to let small fish clean him up. We were told, that if we lay quietly on the bottom and were patient, they’d come by – and they did. | | | We saw these native dancers in Yap, an island in the Caroline Islands of the western Pacific Ocean. We were told that at one time, circular stones similar to the one you can see in the background, were used as money.
From Yap we proceeded to the islands along the North East coast of Papua New Guinea where we spent 4 weeks, with a live-aboard, author-dive master-guide. | | | This is the Robinson Crusoe like island of Edmago. | | | These are purple sea squirts. They are quite unique. I thought they looked like little shoes. They are about 4-inches long and attached to the sea bottom. They pulse water from their two ports. | | | This well preserved Japanese ‘Zero’ was one of many World War 2 aircraft we dove on. Our time in Papua New Guinea was my favorite part of the trip; both on land and underwater. Our next ports of call were Cairns, Australia, the Great Barrier Reef and | | | Sydney harbor where, for a month, we berthed adjacent to the famous Sydney Harbour Bridge and directly across from | | | the Sydney Opera house. We enjoyed a magnificent New Year’s Eve fireworks display. | | | Silver Cloud’s helideck, which fully meets Germany’s Bureau Veritas’: “Recommendations for helicopter landing areas on passenger ships” coupled with the SWATH’s stability, is a helicopter pilot’s delight. | | | Seeing the beauty of New Zealand’s Milford Sound from the air was a highlight of our odyssey. | | | I like taking pictures of birds taken from above, but one doesn’t often get a chance to do that. There was a gannet rookery on a rock pillar in New Zealand. We were on high ground above it and were able to get some good shots - the eggs were just hatching. After spending 6 weeks circling most of New Zealand, we had planned to continue heading west along Australia’s southern coast to the Seychelles, Cape Town and back to the Canary Islands thus fully circumnavigating the world. Unfortunately, with the pirates now controlling the waters around the Seychelles, it was not to be. Instead, we headed north east to Fiji, Bora Bora and Tahiti. Except for the loss of circumnavigation bragging rights, we were not disappointed. | | | This Gray Reef Shark was curious, but he kept his distance. | | | This double saddle butterfish liked my camera. The diving was great. We next took advantage of Silver Cloud’s long legs and made the 3,541 NM passage from Nuku Hiva to San Cristobal in the Galapagos Islands. | | | I’ve titled this photo of giant tortoises: ‘Kissing cousins’. | | | The Galapagos penguins, which walk so awkwardly on land, move with the agility of a seal when they are feeding underwater. After a week in the Galapagos Islands we spent a few days fishing at Tropic Star Resort in (Peen-yuh-z) Pinas Bay on Panama’s SW coast. Our last ports of call were Panama City, the Panama Canal and Palm Beach, 19 months after taking delivery of Silver Cloud. |

I've loved boats since I was a child. My early experience with ocean going vessels was as a navigator on racing sailing yachts. This is a 1970's picture of Llwyd Ecclestone's (Herman) designed "Volcano". I found that early in the Florida winter racing season I would be seasick if I spent prolonged time at the navigator's station.
