What Do All These Boats Have In Common?

By Harry Blake

Absolute, Alize, Jimmy Riddle, Geronimo, Tension ll, Basic Instinct, Smogen ll, Sea Ghost, Itsazoo, Truant, Nirvana, Windwalker

Choose all answers that apply:

A. They are all constructed of fiberglass

B. They are all owned by wonderful people

C. They all participated in the 1st annual CYC/TYC Friendship Race last year

D. As a group, they are a small representation of the CYC racing fleet

Come to this year’s CYC/TYC Friendship Race to get the answers and to help invalidate choice “D”. To keep things simple, we are running this regatta the same weekend this year – the 3rd weekend of June or Saturday June 16. Skipper/crew meeting in the Corinthian bar at 11:00 AM, 1st signal at 12:20 PM.

TYC out-gunned us in participation last year and won the regatta as well. Let’s not let that happen again. We need more boats this year!

Despite the booming economy, we’ve been able to hold the entry fee to the same as last year: $10 and we promise we won’t chince on the keeper trophies as a result. The BBQ dinner following the race and subsequent party after the race will be priced no higher than $12 per person. So the economic package will once again be a good one.
