t is time to refresh the First Aid kit you carry on board. First Aid kits tend to be the overlooked an-
nual restocking item until you really need it. The American Red Cross recommends that you check
the expiration dates on all your medications but this is especially true with on-board supplies.
Check the expiration dates on your medications especially motion sickness tablets and pain killers
such as Aspirin, Motrin or Advil. Even band aids, bandages and tape get gooey and will stick to
anything but you. You can buy the already packaged kits or set up your own.
We prefer to select our favorite products and pack our own frst aid kit in a water tight container such as Tupperware. Here is a
list of items recommended by the Red Cross you might want to include: a variety of new bandages/band aids in different sizes,
gauze pads, antibiotic ointment, tweezers, pain relievers, sting/itch relievers, alcohol wipes, burn cream or aloe, frst aid tape, an
elastic ace bandage, and vinegar in a squirt bottle for jelly fsh stings. Antacids and Imodium can save you time looking for pump
out stations!
We carry one or two cold packs which are activated by smashing them and save the ice for better uses!! For motion sickness try gin-
ger tablets or crystallized ginger candy for kids; wrist bands with acupressure points or you can move up to Bonine or Dramamine.
We have many family members who have allergies, so we also bring along an epi-pen. These have a longer expiration date so
they dont need to be purchased often (prescription needed).
You may want to have a First Aid guide that is approved by the Red Cross and keep it handy for quick reference. Also, review
the new CPR procedures which dont require mouth to mouth contact.
We can only hope that the kit will go unused through the season and it can travel with
us on other trips throughout the year!!
T
he grills with their funny spreader lighted legs were found, cleaned and readied. The Coneys boatshed was cleared and
cleaned; banners were hung and coolers collected in preparation for our annual May social. Club merchandise was artfully
displayed. The weather was perfect - bright sunshine and crisp clean air. The $64 question remained - would the MCYC
people come?
Yes, they did! This year the crowd numbered close to 100 - the best attended BBQ in memory. Whether it was the dreadfully
long Winter, the non Spring or just plain cabin fever, MCYCers came out in droves. (Some brought fancy cars.) Swapping sto-
ries, swapping boat stuff, signing up for cruises. They came. Maybe it was the food?
Anthony of Osteria Tuscana had prepared and donated a delicious Penne ala Vodka and wonderful lemony Chicken Francaise.
(Remember- if you have guests coming on board or even a small dinner party, they do great curbside service).
In the meanwhile in true BBQ tradition, Ginger Bourguignon (in her fashy Team LOKI III custom polo shirt) held sway over the
burgers and dogs (aided and abetted by Past Commodore Jim Martinolich.) Rear Commodore Jackie Martin showed the latest
MCYC club wares and sales were brisk. Even Venus de Masthead attended to show support for the club. Kevin Coneys kept
checking to see how well the boatshed held the crowd. Hes got the Boatyard Caberet for the Huntington Lighthouse in the
same locale coming up on June 3-4-5.
It was a wonderful day with good food, good stories, good friends and a great start to our season. Thanks to all who helped
make it a success!

10 Tips for Longer Inboard Life
1. Keep it clean. A clean engine runs cooler and more
effciently. Greasy grime is a fre hazard; rust not only
destroys, it eats into bolts and accessories until they cant
be removed for repair without damaging the metal parts.
Keep it clean, touch up nicks, and repaint as necessary.
2. Choose the right propeller. Even if the boat came
from the factory with the right prop, you may need a dif-
ferent one now for the way you use or load the boat.
Diameter is probably correct, but a different pitch might
give you less wear and higher fuel effciency. Youre aim-
ing at getting the engine to turn at its maximum rpm at full
throttle. Generally, an inboard in the 30-50 horsepower
range will give about 500 rpm more for every inch the
pitch is reduced, but trial and error is the only way to be
sure. Visit a good prop shop,
preferably one that has experi-
ence with your engine and a hull
like yours.
3. Keep it dry. Most electri-
cal problems throughout the
boat start out in a wet engine
room. Theres usually some
standing water here because
its the lowest point in the boat.
The engine runs hot, vaporizing
the water. When things cool
down, this humid air condenses
and settles into the distributor,
carburetor, and other moisture-
sensitive parts. Fix leaks, eliminate or seal off standing wa-
ter, rechannel water fow (i.e. icebox drainage or the shower
sump), and increase ventilation.
4. Optimize the exhaust. Water intruding through an
improperly designed exhaust system can destroy your in-
board. When the engine is running, exhaust gases force
the water overboard, but if water (or steam) can reenter
the engine through manifolds on shutdown, it will rust
the valves. If enough moisture enters, it can leak past
the piston rings and get into the oil. And, if there is more
water in the cylinder than the capacity of the combustion
chamber, something will break the next time you crank
the engine.
5. Lubricate to the max. Your engine manual prob-
ably specifes how often oil should be changed. Meet
or exceed these recommendations. If youre not sure of
the elapsed time (see Maintenance Log), install an hour
meter. The job will be easier and more inviting if you
install oil pump-out equipment and have all the needed
supplies(pads, oil, new flter, etc.) on hand.
6. Correct any Misalignment. If your transmission bear-
ings and seals seem to be wearing out too often, it could
be that the engine is not correctly aligned. A minor mis-
alignment can be corrected by adding a fexible coupling
at the prop shaft. If you have a more serious problem,
which could have occurred at the factory or could have
developed over the life of the boat, rework the mounts.
7. Install more gauges, Warning lights and bells are a
cheap, easy way out for the manufacturer, but gauges
tell a more compete story. By reading and interpreting
temperature, pressure, fow rate,
etc. youre often able to correct a
problem or shut down before seri-
ous damage occurs.
8. Coddle that water pump.
Maintain the water pump scru-
pulously according to the manu-
facturers directions, greasing it
when and if its called for, and
replacing impellers regularly.
A raw-water strainer, to keep
debris from going through the
pump, is a good addition. Know
where it is and how to clean it.
9. Add freshwater cooling. Although this is thought
of as a necessity to saltwater boating, its a plus too for
freshwater sailors because so many inland waters con-
tain suspended solids or damaging chemicals. With an
enclosed system, you have cleaner, more effcient cooling
(especially if you add a keel cooler) and the option of adding
antifreeze during cold weather boating.
10. Clean up the fuel system. A cranky carburetor or a
fuel flter that is frequently fouled indicate problems some-
where in the fuel system. Never put any fuel into your
portable tanks except through a water separating funnel.
At a good marina, its built into the pump. If problems
persist, and you conclude the problem is somewhere in
the boat, suspect the fuel tanks. Debris could have been
left inside by the manufacturer, or the tanks could be rust-
ing, delaminating, or corroding. Repair, replace, or re-
coat them as necessary.

The Sunshine Corner
by Helene Laufer
Journey
We send out our deepest condolences to Jim Martinolich and his family on the passing of his father,
Giacomo Jack Martinolich and also to Belle Smith Downey on the passing of her mom, Muriel Roth.
Long time member Gene Lehnert is home after serious surgery. We are sending you all of our prayers Gene.
Were glad that Ellen Da Silvas broken leg is healing nicely.
It was great to see her at the Backyard Barbecue holding court from her chair.
This has defnitely been the season for little girls. Grandmas and Grandpas are beaming and covered in pink. Nancy and
Gene Kinney welcomed Avery Grace with opened arms. First timer grandparents, Beverly Smith and Bob Harrison, are glow-
ing over little Savanah. Chris and Bill Habermaas are ecstatic over the arrival of Mia Christine, their second grand-daughter.
Bobbi Palmer has a new great grand-daughter, Lilly Pearl Zinberg. Is there something in the water?
This is also the season for graduations. Congratulations to Katie OMarra and her proud parents Stan and Ursula.
She will be off to Fordham University in the fall.

The Racing Corner
by Dave Tuck
Celebration
W
e made it! Racing season is upon us. We have some great events planned for this season and hope you will join
us to make it our best racing season yet.
Our frst practice race is just around the corner - Saturday June 4th. It will be held in the vicinity of Price Bend (Sand City).
We will run a few practice starts followed by a full course race on our adopted practice course in the vicinity of Price Bend.
You will fnd the committee boat, Celebration between Northport and Centerport harbors. Our frst gun will sound at 0930
hours, aim to arrive at least 15 minutes early for check-in. The SI (Sailing Instructions) will be posted on our website prior to
the race (you check the site daily right?)
Once youve gotten your feet wet with the June 4th race, youll probably want to tune your rig to improve your time and show
that speed demon from practice race I what youre really made of. Thats where our veteran racer Rich Correl comes in.
Many of you know Rich or at least have seen the name Loki III listed in the winners circle of many local races. Heres your
chance to see the craft and meet the captain in person! Rich has graciously offered to demonstrate how to tune your rig.
We are all invited to come down to the dock at the Harbor Boating Club on Friday, June 24th, at 7pm. Whether you prefer
to race or to cruise, this class will help you do it better.
Our second practice race will be on Saturday, June 25th, 2011. Bill Marrero will be running committee boat on Second
Wind. Check back on our website or contact me when we get closer to the date for more details.
Our fnal exam will be in the form of a pursuit race to the raft-up on Saturday July 23rd start times will be customized based
on phrf ratings. The starting line will be near can 11 off Eatons neck, and the fnish line will be at the Huntington Lighthouse.
The target is for all boats to reach the fnish line simultaneously. Please sign up on our website (Main Menu > Racing > Rac-
ing Signup > Race to the Raftup - click on I will go to this event) or contact me directly so I may create a scratch sheet with
accurate start times. Make sure you enter your boats phrf rating in your profle on the website so we can calculate your start
time.. Some of you may have phrfs that allow you to start the night before, while others will start after the race is fnished ;-)
Dont forget to pen in the Masthead race on your calendar

uly 1st and the end of the school year had fnally come. Schools Out. Yea! We packed the boat and fnally we Cast Off.
We had asked the Sea Angel for a Breeze Pleeze. We needed it for our frst ever nighttime Journey to Block Island. The
wind was Relentless but it was from the North, so we had a great sail and soon we could see the Montauk Light. With all
the sea air we had worked up an Insatiable appetite and decided to seek Respit in Three Mile Harbor. We made a Hard Tack
and entered the inlet and set our anchor on the West side of the harbor.
At breakfast we had pancakes and ate them with Gusto! This had been quite an Odyssey. The wind had died down to a Whis-
per, so we hit the sack and waited for our Second Wind. Tomorrow was going to be a big day. The girls were going to be @
Sea for the frst time. They were a little nervous but I told them to relax. All their cares would be Gone with the Wind when we
fnally get to Block Island.
