Greetings from the Fleet Captain Sail

Welcome to the SYC Sailing Activities for 2004. Whether your interests lean toward cruising or racing, or both, there is much for you to enjoy.

Brian Watkins is Racing Activities Chairman for 2004. Distance racers will want to participate in the Tri-Island/Tri-Point Series, and buoy racers will want to put both the SOCKS and the Star & Bar Regattas on their calendars. For a great way to end the week, try the Kirkland Friday Night Series. Remember, too, that the Mini-12 Fleet is now 20 boats strong and races on Sundays in the winter and evenings in the summer.

The cruising events will be under the leadership of Roger Pawley, Cruising Activities Chairman for the year. Cruising will start in January with the first mini cruise to Port Madison. There are five such cruises (no racing) for those who simply like to be on the water with friends. However, if you prefer cruising after the weather gets a little warmer, you will not want to miss the weekend Cruise and Snoozes and the Port Ludlow Overnight. For extended cruising and adventure, add NORPAC in Barkley Sound to your sailing calendar. The Port Ludlow and NORPAC events are open to sailors from all yacht clubs.

Sailboat Dinners are scheduled for the second Wednesday of each month. They feature interesting speakers and provide a great way to meet other SYC sailors. Beginning this year, the SYC racing program will offer an “Open Class” for boats that may not be competitive for current PHRF racing, but whose owners and crews would like to test their skills with other similar, displacement-oriented boats (lightweight “hotrods” need not apply). Open class handicaps will include adjustments in certain areas, such as less-than-optimal sails, roller furling equipment, and the experience of the skipper; starts will be provided for this class in the Tri- Point Series, Mark Mayer, and all cruising-oriented events and races.

The Sailboat Committee Meetings are at 7 P.M. on the first Thursday of each month. Whatever your interest in sailing, we want you to come and join in.

Mike Milburn Fleet Captain, Sail
