Specifically with regards to
your desire to see a greater
availability of dinghy docks,
Jones wrote, I would like to
assure you that this an important
consideration for us as we review
and determine future projects.
He went on to list a number
of areas where there are plans
for dinghy dock construction
throughout the marina.
Another mishap was my printer
used last months issue as a
template and in doing so the
month of the issue didnt change
it read Mayagain. That one
really bugged me because it
made me look like an idiot and I
need no help in that area. He also
screwed up someones ad. Yes,

a glimpse of the past. Visitors can board vintage yachts dating back to
the 1920s as well as view a wide array of restored classic automobiles

like back in the day.

George Biddle was a solid Shipwright, a passionate sailboat racer and a staple in the Marina del
Rey boating community for decades. George deeply loved boats and boating. He touched this
community with his vast knowledge of boats and his obvious love for being around them. He was a
friend of The Mariner, and will be missed. He sailed his beloved Hunter 35.5 Promethius until the
malignant brain tumor he was diagnosed with in 2014 no longer allowed it. He is survived by his
son Tyler, his ex-wife Lynn McKinley and many many friends in this community.

When it comes to sailboats, the rig is arguably the most integral aspect
of the vessel; subconsciously depended upon, yet often ignored and
abused. This situation often results in a rude wake-up call. A rigging
mishap could easily leave you s.o.l., with your entire crew in danger,
and at the least, be an annoying inconvenience.
Here are five simple measures worth taking to ensure that your
afternoon sail on the bay does not turn into a real life rendition of
Homer Winslows, The Gulf Stream. If you are unfamiliar with the
painting look it up; youll see where Im coming from. I have had the
displeasure of being part of a similar situation, minus the sharksat
least I didnt see any.

The Soul
of
MdR
elow the surface layer of boats in slips, half-day fishing boats and parasailing, Marina del Rey is a deeper being. There are
pockets of club-sized communities all throughout that create a heartbeat thats only heard after being here awhile. Through the
sails, paddles, oars, outboard motors and all else that pulses away, the rhythm of this area is felt. And theres probably no rhythm
more soulful then what comes out of the Marina del Rey Outrigger Canoe Club.
Since 1967 MdROCC has been launching their traditional Polynesian canoes into MdR waters making it one of the most deeprooted and long-standing organizations in this area. This club has always had a very committed membership that enjoys both
the physical and social benefits the club has to offer. With a membership of 60% women, 40% men with ages ranging from
8 75, the collective is a good shake of different types of people, all sharing a love for the ocean, a competitive spirit and the
desire to be active.
Many of the people I paddle with have become my closest and life-long friends and extended family here, said former MdROCC President Shelley
Taniguchi. As a water-woman, I was attracted to be on the ocean, be part of an athletic team, and be part of a club whos culture reflects my own
values.
When teams of paddlers move through the marina in these long narrow traditional vessels, its always something to notice. The designs of these crafts
represent the very core of boatings history, but more than that, human history. Outrigger canoes date back further than 200 AD and because they were
used to explore and trade, they are integral to our development as a civilization. There is a depth to it all and the membership feels it. Although racing
is a big part of it, at its center is a feeling of togetherness.
Its a great community of people, coaches, and a clear culture to be competitive on the water and have a great time doing it, said Taniguchi. As in
life, when people enjoy what they are doing - energy is high and its contagious.
Founded by Sandy Kahanamoku and Steven Kekuewa back when the marina was brand new, Taniguchi indicates the club is as strong as its ever been,
saying the Marina is flourishing. She credits the supportive community that includes LA Beaches and Harbors, the MDR Visitors Bureau and the influx
of corporations like Google, Yahoo and Facebook in the area. Unlike yacht clubs across the country who are struggling to keep young people engaged in
sailboat racing, the MdROCC has a structure in place that has been successful in feeding the ranks. Kids who started in the Keiki Program (8-12 years) a
few years ago are now juniors who are racing in their own division. They are seeing young people stick with it and continue to move through the system.
This past month the club put on one of the biggest outrigger events in Southern California, the Kahanamoku Klassic, an event they have been hosting
for the past 20-years. The Marina del Rey harbor was absolutely packed with outriggers from all over the world in a race that extends from the calm
waters inside the harbor to an open-ocean leg and back in. Its a long stretch of 10-13 miles and can be a true challenge for even veteran racers. The

his past month the California State Senate passed the California Sportfishing Stimulus Act of 2015 unanimously. Senate Bill SB
345, sponsored by the California Sportfishing League (CSL) and authored by Senator Tom Berryhill and Assembly Member Frank
Bigelow, aims to address Californias unprecedented decline in fishing participation and increase fishing license sales.
We are pleased that the California State Senate recognizes the importance of protecting recreational fishing and the communities
dependent on this great form of outdoor recreation to stimulate tourism and to protect jobs, said Marko Mlikotin, CSLs
executive director.
SB 345, as amended by the Senate Appropriations Committee, no longer includes a key provision championed by anglers that would replace California
calendar-based fishing license system with one that is valid for a full 12 months from the date of purchase. Proponents have vowed to restore the
12-month fishing license provision in the State Assembly.
Establishing a 12-month fishing license is critical to reforming a costly fishing license program that has contributed to an unprecedented decline in
fishing participation, said Mlikotin. It is our hope that California will follow the lead of other states that found that a 12-month fishing license program
can lead to greater fishing license sales and state revenue. Only with the support of the State Assembly is greater reform within reach.
As amended, SB 345 aims to:
Create a junior fishing license at a reduced base price of $15.00 (not including special permits), similar to the states junior hunting license.
Allow charitable organizations to use fish caught by anglers for charitable and organizational functions, and not subject the charities to fines if an
event exceeds possession limits.
Background
In March, the California Sportfishing League released a study that concluded that the number of annual fishing license sales has decline over 55%
since 1980, and at a rate of over 35,000 a year. The decline threatens critical hatchery and habitat restoration programs funded by fishing license sales.
Senate Bill 345, sponsored by the California Sportfishing League and introduced by Senator Tom Berryhill (R-Twain Harte) and Assembly Member
Frank Bigelow (R-ONeals). The legislation is supported by one of the largest and most diverse coalitions, including anglers, business, labor, local
government and tourism. Recreational fishing contributes over $4.9 billion in economic activity each year, supporting jobs and communities dependent
on it for outdoor recreation and tourism.

There were only two boats in the class but the TP52 Bud looked sharp winning all but one
race against MdRs Margaritaville in the big boat class. Photos Pat Reynolds.
The Santa Monica Bay was filled with purebred racers this past month on the weekend of Cal
Race Week. Over 50 boats battled, in mostly moderate conditions for the coveted hardware.
Two boats rode the bullet train scoring nothing but firsts: Marty Burke from King Harbor
Yacht Club aboard the Beneteau 36.7 Bella Vita and of course Kurt Johnson and crew sailing
the now legendary Avet in the J-80 class. For full results go to calyachtclub.com
