"Got Stuff?" Raised $1250!
BYC Marine and Nautical Yard Sale Results
It didn't look like much, but at the end of the day the kitty was just pennies short of $1250 plus we got stuff that we will keep for the club - a bunch of Danforth anchors, a fire extinguisher for the new Soling, and a nearly new J120 spinnaker that will go on EBay or to a consignment store. Add that to the proceeds from the sale of an abandoned raft and motor and the total should break $2000!
Thanks to everyone who donated stuff and who came to help or buy stuff.
Still Available!
Bottom cleaning for boat up to 40' - $1 a foot, all proceeds to the BYC
And
Newport Mooring, Benton Cove, 1000 lb mushroom, could take up to an 80' boat, $50 a night or best reasonable offer - proceeds to the BYC
Call the BYC 631 725 4604 if interested in either of these two items or the spinnaker

"BREAKWATER YACHT CLUB CRUISING CLUB"
Sailors Wanted!
Hi, my name is Drew Clark and my wife Peggy and I sail our 1982, 30' C&C Free Flight out of the Sag Mooring field. As a member of the BYC Board, I am attempting to promote Day Cruising (to begin with) among club members.
Our day cruises should be relaxing and enjoyable. We can schedule some sails picking a destination. That could change depending upon wind direction and speed. We could schedule a day and destination, leave Sag at 8 or 9 am, and have lunch at the destination and return. If you wish you may choose to stay overnight and return the next day. It would be your choice. As the day approaches and the forecast looks bad we will reschedule. The whole idea is to have fun and sail to "new" places within your comfort zone.
Some of the destinations (we welcome suggestions):
● Gardiners Island (windmill)
● Shelter Island (West Neck or Dering Harbor)
● Devon Yacht Club (Promised Land)
● Cutchogue Harbor
● Orient Harbor
● Red Creek Pond
● Coecles Harbor (maybe and afternoon departure, secure a mooring at the Rams Head Inn, have dinner and stay the night.
● Block Island, Newport and Cuttyhunk might be a "someday" destination
If you are interested, please let us know me Drew Clark at 631 325 0815 or via email to MAE922@gmail.com. Come join us and have some fun!

Got Stuff?
BYC Marine and Nautical Yard Sale
Take a moment this weekend or next to sort through your garage or boat locker. The BYC is having a nautical/marine yard sale on July 16 from 9 am - 2 pm and needs your taxdeductible donations: gear, books, and clothes - whatever.
You can drop your stuff at the club Sat/Sun July 9, 10 and Ed Osias who is at the club on weekends 8:30 - 4:00 can give you a receipt. If that is not convenient, please call him at 631-728-8711 or me, Mary Ann Eddy, at 917-921-2471 to make other arrangements.
If you're available to help sorting through stuff on Friday, July 15 you would be welcome and we would love to see you as helpers or customers on the day of the sale.
Let's turn stuff into dollars!

The Oz Trophy Race is a week and a half away (7/6), so get your female skippers lined up and email me the full names so I can put them on the scratchsheet and results. The NOR for the Oz Race is attached. Summer Series Skippers don't need to fill out any forms, but need to tell me the name of the female skipper and if you are changing division (to non-spin).
We are having an exciting pre-start for the Oz Race this year. Sag Harbor is being visited this summer by 10 Military veterans familys who have been invited out to "Vacation" in the hamptons as part of an arrangement by a Not for Profit organization and "Jordans Initiative" a local organization headed by Chris Hearter. Anyhow, Chris has arranged for the families to all go out on one of the South Ferry boats for a harbor cruise that night, along with Vivian and the Merry Makers. They are supposed to leave the ferry slip around 5pm heading to near Jimmy Buffet's dock, and we were hoping that the boats might get out a bit earlier than usual so that the boats (flying the American Flag) could do a Pass in Review salute. A Marine Corps helicopter is supposed to fly over the ferry a couple times after the boats have finished the parade by the ferry.

Skippers and others,
I have been notified that the BYC BOD's are hosting a Chili competition/party after the 1st Summer Series race on Wednesday, June 1. Hopefully each boat will enter a Chili. Dark 'n Stormies and soft drinks will be provided.
The BYC BOD is hoping that once again this year some boats will step forward and donate toward the keg's of beer for parties on Wednesday nights. I believe at the Commissioning Party Chris DiSunno said to contact him and he would let you know how you can pay for the keg, but that he would take care of getting the keg set up. Contact Chris at 631-804-4601(cell) or chrisd1@disunnoarchitecture.com.
The Summer Series NOR and Sailing Instructions are attached. If you haven't signed up for the Summer Series yet, please get the Race Entry form from www.breakwateryc.org and get it to me soon, so that I can get a Scratchsheet out to the racers by May 31st.
Yours in Sailing,

Skippers and others, (Please let me know if you want to be deleted from my "Skippers" List)
I've attached the BYC Race Entry Form for all 3 Series (Don't forget there is a discount if you pay for all 3 series by May 6th.), also the May Cup NOR, and the May Cup Sailing Instructions.
I hope all will get their 2010 PHRF Certificates and Entries in as soon as possible, so the results will be as accurate as possible each Wednesday night. Tony Dill is sending out the PHRF Form and info this week, but it is also downloadable from the PBSA website (www.PBSA.us) and soon should be available from the ELIYA website: www.elisailing.org. You might consider joining ELIYA (for only $25) and save $5 on you PHRF Certificate. The ELIYA membership form is available on the ELIYA website. If you plan on racing in the Sag Harbor Cup, the Maycroft Cup, and the Whitebread, then you would only need to do one more race from the ELIYA Championship Racing Circuit to qualify for the Series. The dates for the races will shortly be updated in the center section of the ELIYA home page and last year's descriptions of the races are on the right in the Offshore section ("Offshore Calendar"). The only race that wasn't covered in last year's descriptions is the SIYC 125th Anniversary Race which will start in Orient Harbor or Gardiner's Bay and will finish at Dering Harbor. There is also a link to US Sailing on the bottom right, to make it easy for you to become a member or renew your membership in US Sailing. There are also links to the other YC's in the East End.
I'll have to let you know later if anyone will be calculating the tentative race results each Wednesday evening at the clubhouse and if a prize will be given to the 1st place boats that night. I also don't know yet if there will be a keg of beer and/or any party food there. I think Jane Babcook ( JBabcook@Corcoran.com ) is still the one to contact if you want to contribute to any parties, but not me.

BYC Skippers, Crew and others,
The Last R.O.T.S. is this Saturday (10/23). The forcast is for good west winds. The current looks favorable for a course into Little Peconic & back. If you are thinking about participating, but haven't gotten to me an entry form (with the waiver signed), them please email or fax it to me ASAP but at least by noon tomorrow (Friday). You can get the check to me at the Clubhouse before the race or at the party afterward, but I want the entry form by noon on Friday......pleeeeease. If you have raced in a Wednesday night Series w/BYC, then I should have a copy of your PHRF Certificate & you wouldn't need to get another copy to me.
I hope to email the Scratch Sheet and the Sailing Instructions on Friday some time between noon and 4pm to all participants, so (other than the 1st 4 boats listed below) let me know if you are racing.
I have only received 4 entry forms for the Last R.O.T.S. so far
Big Boat
Mambo
Roxanne
Wave Equation
I believe the following boats are planning on racing, but I haven't received the Entry form or check:
Purple Haze
Between the Sheets (I also need a PHRF certificate for this boat)
The following boats said (on 10/13) that they might be able to race on 10/23(will you?):
Gossip
Osprey

Don't forget to sign up for the 9/25 Maycroft Cup. Please get the entries in by Wednesday (9/22), but the earlier, the better and definitely appreciated.
Whitebread (10/2) entries must be postmarked by 9/20 or in the hands of the RC by 9/22 - you now have to pay the $35 surcharge for getting it in after 9/7..
