F18 Nationals Hosted at Crescent
Crescent
hosted the F18 North American Championship under Chairman PC Chris
Tuckfield and a cadre of volunteers. The event ran from September 14 - 19, with 23 teams from as far away as Texas, Oregon, Florida,
California, Montreal and even Hawaii. The event included an extensive social schedule for regatta participants, CSYC
members and guests; highlighted by a beautiful cruise down the Detroit River.
The race committee, led by principal race officer Matt Bounds did a great job to complete 9 races in challenging conditions. CSYC member Uli Gollwitzer and Liam Walz fought hard to finish 3rd overall, beating the Canadian Champions by one point. Their third place came down to an exciting and tightly contested final downwind leg in the final race. Other F18 teams from
CSYC finished well including Jeff and Evan Rehm (9th), and Arnold Slominski with Wayne Tetlow (19th).
A special award was given to Lise Duchesne as the top female skipper with crew Patrick Caux. This perpetual trophy was created in honor of Sandra Tartaglino, long time catamaran sailor and dedicated supporter of sailing, who died in a tragic accident this year.

Adult Learn to Sail
Junior Sailing Program
The purpose
of our Crescent Junior Sailing Program is to provide instructional classes to promote sailing to our
youth so they can learn seamanship, boat handling skills, regatta tactics and
have fun at our club. Our 2019 program had a solid
summer in the midst of a major transition. The junior sailing program was
fortunate to host 76 sailors over nine weeks, which included three separate
program terms and now another season of education and fun has come to a
conclusion.
A Junior Program Wrap-up Special Edition of the Breeze can be found in the Member's Only section of the Crescent website.

Maynard Rupp Awarded the Clogg Trophy
Congratulations to Grace Pytell and Emily Gazalle
Our club awards a perpetual trophy to the boat which logs the most miles on the water annually. The CSYC Logged Mileage Trophy is in honor of Commodore Charlie Todd and Barb Schmid. They spent 11 years on Sayonara traveling down the eastern shore of the US and venturing on to Europe. They traversed to 17 countries and logged over 25,000 miles. This trophy is a commendable tribute to their adventure and we proudly placed their names on it.
The Logged Mileage Trophy winners for 2018 are Grace Pytell and Emily Gazalle. “Elpis" is
owned by Mark Pytell and his wife Ann. Mark proudly accepted the award on behalf of Grace and Emily, at the Dec Crescent Membership Meeting. Grace and Emily left on Sept 14th on the family boat, a 1983 Columbia 29 and have logged over 6,000 miles on their Great Loop adventure.
We wish Grace and Emily a rewarding and memorable adventure – best of luck girls!
