A letter from the Commodore:
I am very excited about what the Board Of Directors have planned for this year and you will see many new activities in addition to the programs that we already offer at Breakwater.
For the Racers this should be a very exciting year. The warm weather has allowed us to keep Frostbiting right through January! And our Frostbiting Series will run Sundays thru April 22.Our fleet of Lasers are available for racing to all of our club members for a minimum fee.
April 25 will be our first ever Skippers Meeting for the May Cup! This will be followed by an UK Rules Quizzes Seminar hosted by Chuck Ulmer of UK Sailmakers.
June 2nd & 3rd Breakwater YC will be the host of Sprit Fest, an expanded version of the J80 events we have hosted in the past. We expect over 30 boats to participate in this one-design championship event for the J 80, J 105 and J 109 Classes.
For the Cruisers, June 21st, the first day of Summer marks the debut of Thursday Night Sailing which will continue thru August. Think of it as an open house for sailing. Get to sail on other people’s boats as well as our club boats without the pressure of racing. This could be a good night to get the wife and kids out. I’ll be looking for our members with boats to participate! Maybe you’ll find new crew and even make some new friends to take with you on our Club Cruise August 4th & 5th.
All of these events take planning and we could use your help! February 2nd 5:30-7:30 will be the first of two volunteer nights scheduled for this Winter.
Please use our website, http://www.breakwateryc.org to keep you updated on all our club activities. While you’re there please check out the member boat section and add your boat to our virtual model wall.
Don’t forget that the BYC Commissioning and Break the Ice Social will take place Saturday, April 28th.
Here’s looking forward to an awesome year at Breakwater Yacht Club Community Sailing Center. More Sailing, More Fun!
