From the newsletter of Leatherlips Yacht Club, Written by Matt Pittsenbarger, Commodore

I carry the burden of informing all in our membership that Scott Graham passed away.  I feel that the club will never be the same.   Scott cared immensely about LYC and always, always was the first to volunteer.  Recently, our fence project needed a boost and Scott said, "I'll take it," and the project jump started.  He talked with rowers this summer and worked to specifically improve the weeds in their area, "we need to do better up there".  Just Saturday, I was thanked at (Scotty's memorial) reception for the work on the Dinghy Park that we completed when I was Grounds Chair; Scott brought and piloted the Skid Steer without which that wouldn't have been possible.  I can't tell you how many times he's told me just let me know what needs done, and he'd be there.  He was an anchor that never drags. Scott was also on the water most weeks in both Interlake and Daysailer classes.  He earned Humpleby honors (for most races sailed per season) multiple times in my short time at LYC.  He could be heard yelling "Starboard" on any heading from anywhere on the lake with his booming voice; ANY heading... and he knew it.  Scott shared.   He shared the sport of sailing, was dependable for his crew, and was giving of his boats and knowledge.  I will miss Scott's abundant energy, and I celebrate his passion for our club and our sport. With sadness and gratitude, Matt Pittsenbarger, Commodore, and all the members of LYC and DS Fleet #98, founded in part by Kenneth Scott Graham. 98.

 Apologies for the late upload. Several DS members east of the Mississippi couldn't make it to nationals this year. Looks like sailing was outstanding and photos incredible by Deborah Mason-McCaffrey. Active DS members can view and download images by going to the Members Only page for instructions. Congrats to all.

Take a moment and check out the updated Measurement Certificate New Measurement Certificate. It is essentially the same but requirement for battens to be equally spaced and perpendicular to leech chord was added. Additionally, owners name has been added to all sheets in the event of a sheet going missing. Previous measurement certificates, if current, will continue to be accepted but any new measurement should use the new form. Thanks to Mike McCaffrey for his help on this especially with reviewing and having great Word skills to fit a lot of stuff onto a small page!! Bob Damon, Class Measurer
