Rick Randall | Commodore
I grew up in the San Francisco Bay area in a family where small-boat sailing was a passion. My wife Cindy and I have owned several sailboats over the years, including a Cal 20 and a Tartan 31. We moved to Bainbridge in 2005, in part because of the great year-round boating opportunities. In 2007 we decided to make the "big move" to a power boat, and became the owners of Compadre, a 1929 Stephens classic power cruiser. In addition to EHYC, we are active in the Classic Yacht Association, and enjoy showing Compadre at various CYA events and cruising Northwest waters. I look forward to working with all of you this year as Commodore.

Nancy McCaughey | Vice Commodore
As a girl from Park Ridge, Illinois, I never imagined my life would have boating in it! In college, I went to Hawaii to become the cook on an 80-foot schooner, and after graduating, co-founded a non-profit educational organization that led visitors on sailing tours of the islands on our two 38-foot sailboats. After returning to the mainland, I met David, a resident alien from Canada and soon our dream of living in a village near water and a vibrant city came true with a move to Bainbridge....except as David said, “Living here without a boat is like living on a freeway without a car!” That was the catalyst for finding Moonbow, our 31 ft. Camano Troll and setting out on a new adventure of cruising in the PNW. Our other objective for taking up boating was to meet fun and interesting people. Joining EHYC in 2009 has exceeded expectations with new friends, shared knowledge of boating in the NW, and fun gatherings. David and I hope to get to know many more of you this year!

Joe Dunstan | Rear Commodore
Billie and I emigrated to the Pacific Northwest in 1983, and found paradise on Bainbridge Island. We have been boating since 1998 and have cruised the southern waters of Puget Sound north to Desolation Sound, and have sailed around BVI and the coast of Belize with friends on 42ft Lagoon catamarans. I am a coxswain with the U.S.C.G. Auxiliary and have taught the Safe Boating Class for six years on the island. We recently exchanged our NONSUCH Sailboat for a 30ft Sundowner Tug “Sea Turtle” and now “fly” across Puget sound waters at 7 knots! Since joining the EHYC five years ago we have met many wonderful friends and we thoroughly enjoy the cruises and social events. There is no better place on earth in the summer than the Puget Sound and we hope to see you on a club cruise or other social event this year!

Sandy Leese | Secretary
Mark and I moved to Bainbridge Island in 1997, after spending 27 years in Hong Kong. We owned several sail boats during that time, ranging from 23' to 42' and we took part in many races in and around the region. After moving to the Island, we sailed for several years until we moved over to the "dark side" "Double Haven" is our trawler and we have cruised the San Juans, Gulf Islands and the South Sound. We still sail on other people's boats with the Wednesday Sailors. The Club has been a great way to meet people and we have enjoyed the fantastic rendezvous' and social events. Come and join us !
