Expand<\/a><\/p>\n\u201cI didn\u2019t know what to expect and all the previous years I\u2019ve done it, I\u2019ve seen Monnin actually tries,\u201d he said, \u201cso I was pretty excited about having a real active crew member that actually cares.\u201d<\/p>\n
The two didn\u2019t talk much about plans ahead of the race, Brodsky said, but as the skipper, he did have to give Monnin a bit of direction.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe had a little bit of talking but being, like, I know how to sail, he knows how to sail, we know what\u2019s important,\u201d Brodsky said. \u201cI told him when to ease up on the jib a couple of times.\u201d<\/p>\n
With the win, Brodsky was awarded a crimson T-shirt, had his name engraved on the trophy, and got to go on a ride along on an umpire boat during the Congressional Cup.<\/p>\n
Brodsky was able to witness first hand how umpires are able to make calls quickly \u2013 and he was on board when one of the toughest call of the regatta was made.<\/p>\n
The umpires, Brodsky said, came together after one match and they all watched the video and everyone agreed the call was correct. One lesson Brodsky learned was what happens on the umpire boat stays there.<\/p>\n
When pressed for more details, he declined.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s part of the stuff that I\u2019m not allowed to say,\u201d Brodsky said, \u201cbut there\u2019s no doubt about it \u2013 it was a proper call.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tax Talk<\/p>\n
On Wednesday, May 13, the Long Beach Boatowners Association will host a taxpayer briefing by Los Angeles County Assessor Jeff Prang and key members of his staff\u00a0 at the Long Beach Yacht Club, 6201 Appian Way. The meeting will begin at 6 p.m.<\/p>\n
The assessor will briefly explain the process by which the county determines the value of recreational boats and answer questions from the audience.<\/p>\n
Staff members who conduct these assessments will be available to answer detailed questions from individuals who have concerns about the taxes levied on their boats.<\/p>\n
The tax jurisdiction is determined by where the boat is habitually kept, not where the owner lives. If the boat is physically in the county on the Jan. 1 lien date, it will generally be assessed there,\u201d according to the assessor\u2019s website.<\/p>\n
If you rent or lease a mooring, boat slip or tie down from a city or the county, you may also receive a property tax assessment \u2014 basically for the land under your boat.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Long Beach Yacht Club Junior Jack Brodsky, 14-year-old student at Saint Bonaventure Catholic School, won the 2026 Junior…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":304254,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[3929,3930,131,133,132,3738],"class_list":["post-304253","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-long-beach","tag-grunion-on-the-water","tag-grunion-sports","tag-long-beach","tag-long-beach-headlines","tag-long-beach-news","tag-the-grunion"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/304253","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=304253"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/304253\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/304254"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=304253"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=304253"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=304253"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
