Congratulations to all CYC sailors, club volunteers, and CYC staff. With CYC members Willem Van Way and River Paquin on board, as well as Lucas Calabrese, Pamela Rose’s J/70 team on Rosebud emerged as the top team in a talent- laden class and was selected as the San Diego NOOD Challenger for the Helly Hansen NOOD Caribbean Championship.

The Coronado Yacht Club Board of Directors has appointed Treasurer Harper Hatheway as the Coronado Yacht Club Make a Wish Committee liaison with the goal of putting together three bike teams from CYC, or more, to participate in the event.

The bar will be open every evening of A the week for your enjoyment, starting on April 22nd. By now, most of your March-madness brackets have been broken but the final NCAA basketball championship is an exciting game no matter if your team is in it or not. Join us on Monday, April 8th to watch the game. The bar will be open for service with drink specials and the best non-special prices on the Island. Easter Brunch on April 21 Don’t forget about our scrumptious Easter Sunday Champagne Brunch with seatings at 10:00 am and 12:30 pm. Look on the back cover for more details. Chef Benito has a very special menu including: made-to-order omelets, scrambled eggs, eggs benedict, prime rib, bacon and sausage, French toast, a seafood station featuring cocktail shrimp, mussels, clams and a whole poached salmon. And of course, we finish it off with special desserts, fresh fruit and other goodies. This event has sold out the last four years in a row, weeks before the holiday, so please make your reservation today to assure that you are not left out. “Beer Can 101: A Refresher Course” April 10th will be our first Beer Can FUN sail of the season. The staff has been busy preparing the club for this traditional signaling of the start of spring and fun-filled Wednesday nights at CYC. I think this is a perfect time to remind all of you some of the policies that we have in place to help you, the membership maximize your enjoyment of the club. • Parking The CYC parking lot is for members only. Please have your guests park in the city’s lot, located to the West of the side lawn or on Pomona Ave. Bicycles should be parked behind the CYC clubhouse, not in the parking lot by the disabled parking spaces or on the grass area. • Guests at the bar Please escort your guests to the bar when they are ordering as it is a violation of our club liquor license to serve non- members and unescorted guests. CYC can be fined thousands of dollars for a violation and receive a suspension of our liquor license. The bartenders will not provide service to any unescorted guests. • Corkage Fee Although we offer a very expansive wine list for your enjoyment at the bar, I understand that some of you prefer to bring your own wine. Please check in with the bartender to pay the appropriate corkage fee and receive your “corkage paid” sticker. Bottles that were not purchased from the bar nor have a “corkage sticker” will be confiscated. You will be asked to leave the club for the day and you will be invited to attend the next Board of Directors meeting. • B.Y.O.B. NO WAY! Corkage fee is only applied to wine bottles as it is a violation of club rules to consume your own beer or liquor in the clubhouse, front deck or side lawn. Violators will be asked to leave the club property for the day and may be suspended by the Board of Directors for a longer period of time. • Reserving tables Tables on the club’s main deck and bar area cannot be reserved by placing a sign and/or cooler on the tables. Tables on the front deck are for members with reservations with the club’s food service. The side lawn area, Port Side patio firepit area and Starboard Patio area can continue to be reserved with a cooler and sign on Wednesday evenings. • Bounce and go… No, no! The bounce house is provided as a benefit for our young families and future Commodores. It is not a babysitting service. The attendant is there to assure a safe environment for the children is provided. Our attendant is NOT a BABY SITTER. As the CYC House Rules state, children under 10 must be accompanied by an parent or adult supervision at all times while on club grounds. Please enjoy the club but also keep an eye on your children. Please be considerate of your fellow members and observe the CYC parking rules. No vehicle may be left in the parking lot in excess of 72 continuous hours without an extended parking pass approved by the General Manager.
