On the Radar: Schooner Cup ON THE RADAR
SAN DIEGO —Historical boats will sail the waters of San Diego Bay during the annual Schooner Cup on April 2. The 28th annual event is hosted by Silver Gate Yacht Club and benefits the Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society, a
nonprofit whose mission is to help Navy and Marine families with loans, all of which are paid back and returned to NMCRS coffers to assist additional families. Last year’s race saw 14 schooners ranging in length from 35 to 150 feet from Southern California and the Pacific Northwest participating in the regatta. The America’s Schooner Cup Committee anticipates the same number of race participants in this year’s race.
Star Clippers, a worldwide cruise ship company, is also sponsoring the event. Spectators can view the race from Shelter Island or on the water aboard Californian,
the state’s official tall ship, a 145-foot schooner, or the Bill of Rights, a 136-foot replica of a 19th century coastal schooner. Tickets can be purchased on the Maritime Museum of San Diego’s website at
sdmaritime.org. The Schooner Cup starts at noon. No registration is necessary for those viewing from
Shelter Island. Just arrive about 11:30 a.m. for noon start. The race runs from Shelter Island, out of the bay and back. It typically takes two to three hours to complete. Visit

King Harbor YC members recognized for service, sailing
REDONDO BEACH — Long time King Harbor Yacht Club members Jerry Martin and Emma Tallman have received awards this year. King Harbor YC
Commodore Bob Duncan said, “These awards say a lot about our membership and about how they person- ify the Corinthian Spirit. It’s great to see our young sailors like Emma getting recognition as well as our experienced sailors like Jerry. This makes me very proud of our members.” Martin received the Warren Ewert

Memorial Trophy for distinguished service to the Southern California Yachting Association (SCYA). The tro- phy is awarded in recognition of any person who served the SCYA with dis- tinction in the true Corinthian Spirit. Born in Chicago, Illinois, Martin began sailing after he retired from the U.S. Army at the age of 40 as a criminal investigator. While in the Army, Martin didn’t really have time for a hobby. One day he was walking down Harbor Drive and stopped at the Catalina Boat broker and decided to buy a boat. Martin has always believed in giv- ing back to the sport. “I have been a U.S. Sailing judge,
Principal Race Officer and on top of all that, I spent 23 years in the Coast Guard Auxiliary and I was certified as
an instructor and Boat Crewman,” Martin said. Tallman received the Diane
Armstrong Award. Tallman is 12 years old and is in the seventh grade attending Calle Mayor Middle School in Torrance. She has sailed since the age of 7 with the King Harbor Youth Foundation and began sailing competitively when she was 9 years old in the Optimist Sailboat. Tallman is a third generation sailor.
Her grandparents Don and Joanne joined King Harbor YC in 1973 and her parents Craig and Renée also sail and are members of the club. Upon being notified of her award,
Tallman said, “I’m honored to be rec- ognized and I look forward to the chal- lenges moving forward to become one of the top junior sailors.”
