Updates and Plans
A couple of news worthy items to share with the fleet:
- James Cullum, PYC Junior Sailing Coach, has kindly volunteered to drive the Lindsay Lord for the fleet on Wednesday nights. This is a great offer because Race Committee no longer needs to worry about having a member on-board and does not need to be personally trained on the workings of the Lindsay Lord. James (Jimi) will be onsite to operate the LL only, all of the other Race Committee duties fall on the skipper and crew assigned for the night, such as setting the boat up, blowing up marks, setting the course, clean up etc.
- The waterfront staff has asked that all boats try to reduce their launch use. This simply means waiting for your entire crew to arrive before heading out to the boat or picking crew members up at the dock. Hopefully this will lesson the launches’ fuel consumption.
- Monday July 20th at 5:30 we will be holding a Mid-Summer Fleet meeting at PYC. We hope that as many boat owners and fleet members can attend as possible. The goal of the meeting will be to discuss the season so far, make plans for the rest of the summer and coming winter, planning for the Downeast Regatta, and setting the date and time for the Awards and Annual meeting. There will be a remonder and agenda sent out closer to the actual date.
- The glasses are coming, we are hoping to hand out the Series I glasses at the start of Series II. Thanks for your patience.
- Lastly, the PHRF Championships and One Design Regatta is this weekend. The weather is looking good and it would be awesome to see a solid representation of Fleet 43 out there-so sign up!
