Yo, Ho, Ho and A Bottle of Rum, etc The University of Washington Yacht Club can count itself as being about the only Husky sport that can call Seattle weather an advantage. Good yachting weather prevails on Lake Wash- ington the year round. This advantage pays off in intercol- legiate competition. This year ' s racing team, one of the strongest in years, did extremely well— especially against their biggest rival, the University of British Columbia. In the North American Intercollegiate Yacht Racing Association cham- pionships held in June of 1961 , the UW Club placed fifth. The past year was marked by the formation of the Northwest Intercollegiate Racing Association composed of the University of Washington, the University of British Columbia, Seattle Uni- versity, the University of Puget Sound, and Western Washing- ton State College. UW Fleet Captain Jeff Ingman is association president. The NIRA will tentatively host the 1964 national championship races. Inter-club regattas are held to give members a chance to de- velop their skill. These regattas are usually followed by dinner and dancing in the boat house. New members receive instruction all four quarters of the year. These lessons are given by an advanced skipper of the club with the help of other qualified members. Upon completion of the course, the new members are encouraged to pass a written and a practical test so that they may qualify as Skip- pers. Skippers have access to club facilities at all times. During the year the club holds Saturday morning work parties, so that everyone can help work on the boats. The club owes thanks to the work of Commodore Jim Patrick for the growth of the fleet from twelve to twenty boats. With the help of an ASUW loan the club purchased eight new fiber- glass Penguins which will be used for class competition as well as general sailing. In addition, the club owns six eleven- foot dinghys in wooden models and six Husky sloops. Direction of the club is handled by Jim Patrick, commodore,- Mickey Gibbons, vice commodore; Grant Hedges, rear commo- dore; Evan Engstrom and John Erickson, fleet captains; Ann Hempelmann, secretary; Gary Syverson, treasurer; Donna Butherus, publicity; and Dr. Maurice Rattray of the Oceanog- raphy Department, adviser and racing coach. The UW Yacht Club is open to students, faculty, and staff of the University and now numbers about two hundred and twenty-five members. 233
