NATURAL at 8 METER WORLDS
We're
wishing steady breezes and a race committee that can't find the "X"
flag (individual recall), for SBYC's Captain John Fowler and the crew
of the 8 Meter Natural. Our very favorite big wooden
pointy-ended boat, is competing in the 8 Meter World Championship
Regatta taking place at RCYC in Toronto. Gooooooooo Natural!!!!
SBYC FAIR HAVEN RACE, officially a BLAST!
Thanks
to Fleet Captain Mike Thurley and all the SBYC racers, cruisers,
power-fleeters, and the folks at Pleasant Beach Hotel, that once
again conspired to make our annual FAIR HAVEN RACE AND DINNER OUT our
best mid-summer event! The weather was great, the company congeniel,
and the hospitality delicious! Thanks also to the "Bashful" crew for using their commodious vessel as "cocktail central" and to "Captain Neilly" for acting as unofficial "honcho".
WELCOME NEW MEMBERS
A welcome back to Todd Alley who rejoins SBYC with his wife Lynn,
and son Christopher, after being away since pretty much growing up here
in the 70s. Todd's father, George Alley is a Past Commodore, and
donated the famed silver punch set (the one our club officers quaff
from after Sail Past) in honor of Todd's mother, who passed away in the
70s. Todd returns as Captain of a Hunter 28, Incognito, with a black sail cover and a little Woodstock bird on the side. Please welcome
It's been waaaaay too long since we've had an R-boat at SBYC, and Angela & Scott VanDeWalle are bringing us one in their meticulously restored NAYADA. Scott is a local apple farmer, while angelic Angela is a cosmetician and avid bicyclist. The couple live in Alton.
Score one for Dan & Sandy Hollands, who made the winning
decision to join SBYC; --with a particular interest in sailing our
Ideal 18 fleet. You may recognized Dan's name in connection with
some of our recent regatta's such as this year's CENTRALS REGATTA,
where Dan donated his skills as a certified keelboat instructor and his
racing knowledge, by acting as scorer. Dan and Sandy are former members of RYC, and live in Webster.
Russell and Nancy Dudash are new members looking for a
Catalina 36, to replace their recently sold Catalina 30. They
Springwater, Florida, and are going to use SBYC as a launching pad from
which to cruise the fresh waters of the Great Lakes.
Trish Amish & Joel Kent live are local cottagers, and witner in Pittsford. They are also members of RYC where their two daughters (Emma and Sarah) participate
in the junior program there (taking lessons, I'm told, from our new
member, Dan Hollands!). Trish grew up on Sodus Bay and is an SBJSA
alumus, and the family intends to make particular use of the SBYC's
Ideal 18 fleet.
Welcome BACK to SBYC Travis and Helene Brown! Travis and Helene were members back in the 70s, racing a red Sabre 28 called Magic Dragon, and have moved 13 times since (!), boating all the while. It's great to have them back at SBYC!
Mark & Kimberlee Costich have also rejoined SBYC,
having been away from the club for a couple of years. The Costichs are
a sailing family, with kids Sarah, Lisa and Marcus all avid sailors,
with Sarah especially a hard-core Lightning crew (winning Centrals with
Jed Dodge and Billy Stuart). Mark cruises an Edgewater 21 center
console mark boat, er, runabout.
Alan and Eileen Brind join the club, as friends of Anne Foxenburg & Jim Taylor, and
sailors of a MacGregor 26. The Brinds hail from Ionia, NY, and we're
glad to welcome them to the "silver waters" of Sodus Bay!
Simone Depew has joined SBYC as our newest Junior Member.
Simone is a local resident and SBJSA product. She became smitten with
the club's Ideal 18 fleet while sailing our little sloops with the
Wayne County Youth Sailing Program. Welcome Simone!
Pam Bettencourt and John Landry
had been members of Canandaigua YC for years, racing J-24s. They are
now the proud owners of a big, luxurious Oceanis 370 named Albatross, and proud new member's of SBYC, looking forward to lots of bay sailing and "big lake" cruising, this summer.
DON'T OWN A BOAT, BUT WANT TO SAIL?
