FROGGY'S BIG LEAP 8th August
Marie Fauvet alias "Froggy" will shortly be departing our shores for her homeland of light breezes....France. Marie has only been with us at CYC for a short time however her warm personality will be dearly missed. Marie is a great competitor and I'm sure the Sabre sailors wish she was staying on our race course. A farewell for Marie will be held on Sunday 8th August commencing at 3.30pm. This occasion is open to all members and for 5 Australian dollars per head you will gain access to the CYC upper deck where fine cheese and wine will be supplied. It will be a lovely afternoon socialising with Marie and fellow sailing club members. Please email Joan Lacoste at lacoste@tpg.com.au if you are able to attend.
CYC Winter Regatta 24th & 25th July
CYC will be hosting the Corsair Youth State Titles on the 24th & 25th July. Inconjunction with the Corsairs CYC will be running a Winter Regatta for all club sailors. This is a great opportunity for new CYC sailors to get in some pre-season competitive sailing. There are three races on Saturday and two races on Sunday. The first race will commence at 1000 on both days. We will be having a BBQ on completion of racing on Saturday. The long range weather forecast looks good so hope to see as many sailors on the water as possible. Please check the club website calendar for start times and rostered OOD members.

Key Change at the club
14 May 2010
Attention: the keys to the Club were changed today.
To gain access on Saturday call Al Lacoste on 3821 1996 or on Sunday Lex Stanbridge on 32861202. In addition Al will be at the Club from 9am to midday on Saturday. This key change has been necessitated by the number of keys not returned despite follow up. Accordingly the key deposit has risen to $50. This is necessary to minimize the cost of future changes due to non return of keys. Therefore it will be necessary to pay the difference between the $50 and your original bond.
A general key change will also be held on Sunday 30th May 2010

Another JAMS sailor in the news
Ian Thompson in conjuction with Dave Waller started the CYC JAMS fleet a few years ago. Ian is about to embark on a solo non-stop circumnavigation of Australia and hopes to be able to do this in under 50 days to smash the current record of 68d:8h:30m.
Ian's departure is planned for this Sunday (Peel Island Marathon day), and all CYC members wish Ian a speedy journey and safe return.
