Pettipaug Memories ~ 75th ANNIVERSARY 1950-2025 [cid:image001.png@01DBAADC.734461F0] The beloved Paul Risseeuw at Pettipaug Yacht Club FLYING ON THE WATER WITH I 14 fleet Written by Mary Risseeuw Pettipaug had a thriving International 14 fleet in the 1970s. The 14's were dinghies - shells with an oversized sail area-sleek, fast and agile. You needed precision skill and coordinated timing to sail them to their max - which often meant you were practically flying over the water! A long-ago memory reminded me how exhilarating it could be to race this small boat at PYC. It was the Fall of 1976 and we were racing north past Joshua's Rock on a spinnaker reach. I was on the trapeze and Paul, with a light touch on the tiller, kept us on a steady plane. A huge gust came from behind. Two boats capsized and Paul and I prepared for the inevitable. He feathered the boat while I heaved outboard on the trapeze, playing the chute. You could feel the power of the wind take us to a whole other level. We were sailing on a razor's edge about to lift off the water. One wrong twitch of tiller, tweak of the sail or shift of weight and we would be under water. Suddenly, a loud howl rose up from the hull. I had never heard anything so shocking and eerie, but it was the sound of perfect resonance. We glided through the gust and to the finish just before the bend in the river. Was it the adrenaline or speed or danger that makes this memory still so vivid to me? Or was it my youth and first thrilling experience of racing an extreme small boat where you are inches above the water, the speed seemingly three times as fast, and you feel hull touch every ripple? I don't know ,but it cemented my love of racing at Pettipaug. This unpretentious little club on the beautiful Connecticut River holds a special place in my heart. It is a gift for all who come here, and I hope the spirit of PYC never changes. Mary Risseeuw

Julie Dunbar Remembers Blue Jay Internationals 1974 At PYC : CORRECTED
by Pettipaug Member News 22 Mar '25

22 Mar '25

[cid:image002.jpg@01DB9AF8.59E83A40] JULIE DUNBAR REMEMBERS 1974 Bob Cashman reminded me that the Pettipaug BJ Nationals were held in 1974 which saved me some time in looking it up. Bob sailed Blue Jays actively along with many other Junior sailors and still has fond memories to share! In 1974, my husband, Bill and I had recently purchased a Blue Jay for our family. They were actively sailed at our small club, Shrewsbury Sailing and Yacht Club, Oceanport, NJ . When notification of the National Regatta came about, we decided to join a few other members and make the trip up to Essex, CT. to participate, some coming by boat and others by car. At that time, Bill's Aunt June and Uncle Carlton Barlow were living on Book Hill Road so we contacted them in hopes of using their guest house as "home base" for this regatta, which worked out perfectly, so all was set to enjoy a good weekend of Blue Jay sailing. The Club was decked out in the finest of flags, cars were parked here, there and everywhere, Blue Jays and more Blue Jays were being moved about, and the shouts of kids and parents lingered in the air! On the water, boats and more boats! Spectators and sailors both!! It was an exciting time! The races went off without a "hitch" as the Pettipaug group knew just how to organize and run regattas, plus the weather was cooperating. The NJ sailors and others who had come up from Barnegat Bay, NJ had their great learning experience with the CT River current. In fact, the crew in our Blue Jay fell overboard during the race and our daughter, Debbi, leaned over and pulled her back into the boat hanging onto her shirt as the current pushed her by. And, back then, one had to watch out for the barges that were making their way to Hartford. It was at this regatta that Bill was asked and decided to join the Blue Jay Class Association Board along with Dan Van Winkle of Mason's Island, Bill becoming President awhile later. As I was so new to sailing and racing, I did not begin to understand all the preparation, excitement and frustration at that time but truly appreciated the friendliness and dedication everyone was making! It will always remain as a very special event in my mind!

Julie Dunbar wrote the wonderful remembrance. Bill became President of Blue Jay International and Julie was Secretary. When they moved to Connecticut, they joined PYC, supported the Women's Sailing Group and are Co-Founders of the Wednesday Night Blue Jay Series! NEXT~ Mary Risseeuw remembers

MARCH COMMODORE'S COMMENTS
by Pettipaug Member News 17 Mar '25

17 Mar '25

[PYC_75th.jpg] COMMODORE'S COMMENTS MARCH 17, 2025 HAPPY SAINT PATRICK'S DAY Perhaps Covid has implemented changes but decades ago, at Blarney Castle in Cork, Ireland, I remember trudging up the 125 stone steps to reach the " Blarney Stone". When reaching "the keep or battlement" area of the castle and between gasps, it was noted that the "stone" is 85' above the ground. However, in order to plant the required "kiss" you need to bend over backwards as the stone is 6' below the platform. But, God forbid, just in case ~ there is a narrow railing and of course a kind spirited attendant, ours was half my size. It is promised to those who successfully land the "kiss", that they are bestowed the "gift of the gab~ the ability to cleverly flatter and coax others" . I chose to take a pass on that "kiss" ! No Blarney smooching for me, but here is Some coaxing and always flattering to be your Commodore. MARCH 22nd. SATURDAY Weather permitting. Docks in.
