What the heck happened to 2022 and look out: here comes 2023 : )

2022 EGYC Award

Hi all!  What else to do on the coldest day of the year so far but think about sailing?  : )  In a couple of months boats will will be splashing and it is time to look forward — but first, a quick look back.  We were fortunate to have a safe and successful season …

Mid-Season Update

We continue to enjoy a really good, consistent season!  I wish I could say the same for the weather!  hahaha.  Anyway, since my last update we’ve had a few more JYC summer series races, which were all pretty good and we continue to hone our speed and performance.  We did the Twenty Hundred Club’s Around …

Grrr, missing Practice #2!

Well, sometimes things move at their own pace.  This is one of those times.  We actually got a ton of stuff done this weekend.  By Sunday the mast was fully assembled and ready to step.  Some additional work was done on the boat (cleaning, winch maintenance, other smaller tasks).  She’s in really good shape.  However, …

Correction! The CYC BBQ is June 11th!

Sorry about that but I had the wrong date for the BBQ at CYC.  It is June 11th and not June 4th.  Thanks Bill for the catch!

Security at the NAVSTA Marina Docks

Just wanted to make you aware that Mike and Co at the marina are using bicycle locks to secure the gates to each dock.  [Wish I had emojis available here . . .]   This will likely only be a factor on Tuesday nights as the docks will be unlocked during business hours.  I quote Mike’s …

The 2019 Racing Season Is Coming

Hey all, Happy Winter Solstice (almost)!  Now that the days are getting longer we can start thinking about racing again.  ; ) In the next few weeks I will populate our race calendar and open up the process for folks to select their races.  Grab as many as you want.  I will then rebalance where …

May 29th Cancel

Guys, really sorry about having to cancel next Tuesday due to work-related travel.  I don’t think this is a surprise to anyone, but it was painful hitting the cancel button.  I’m quite confident it will be gorgeous (what are the odds of the cancels in a row — seems doubtful) . . .  Next race …

First Race Review

Hey guys, Just a quick summary of our first JYC.  We were assigned as the scratch boat in B Spinnaker, a very fortunate move as we usually end up the slow boat in A.  We had a decent start (JYC is dock-starting this week and next at a minimum) and by the time we got …
