Commodore's Report April 2024

Hello EYC!  As the Season begins to ramp up and the club awakens from its winter hibernation we have a lot to do. With a work party Saturday April 20th, Tuesday TYC Sail, Wednesday night racing and the Skippers and Mates dinner this Saturday to boot! Registration for EYC’s Dick Brust Sail School this June 23-28 has already begun for members. EYC will be running the City of Eugene sailing courses this summer and we have priority registration and discounts for EYC members. Starting in May dinghy racing begins. Where Lidos and Lasers battle it out in what can only be described as a chess game on the water. With all seriousness aside, we have to realize that in reality all we are doing is sailing in circles in plastic boats! Ok some people have wood boats but that is a whole other level of crazy! Unfortunately, some of you may have noticed that the lake is not at full pool. I take full responsibility as I have been trying to fill it with extra slippery water from Belgium and it's stuck in customs.
Finally, Dan Merritt will be leaving the position of club host on April 30th. Dan and Cheri are applying to be members and will be sailing with the Lido fleet.

Mind the boom!
