Summer is finally here and we need to open and clean our club! We are mustering the troops this Saturday, May 30 starting at 9am. Hopefully we can get everything done by noon if we have enough volunteers. Many hands make light work!
Rich Bierman has done a great job getting organized and will have our lists ready to get to it. We will move the boats out of the clubhouse then primarily clean the place from top to bottom. If we have 15 to 20 people we can get everything completed. Bring your gloves, favorite rags, a bucket, maybe a broom. Don’t forget to grab your neighbors and friends!
Please reply to this email if you are for sure coming so we can get a rough count. If you have questions feel free to reply as well.
I think you will be surprised by the enhancments that have happened over the winter!

Weights and Measures Committee seeking fun, sailing oriented volunteers. Looking for a few great sail enthusiasts!
Background: EYC is hosting the Flying Scot North American Championships for 2009. As a One-Design class boat, all FS boats must meet the specifications of the FS class to participating in the NACs. The weights and measures committee has the “weighty” role of making sure all boats meet these specifications. All club boats must be weighed, safety checked and sails measured. All other boats are assigned to one of any of these three specification checks.
Needed: The W & M committee requests your help and invites you to have fun too. We need people to help staff the various “checkpoints” of this weights and measures process. Training will be provided, experience is not necessary. This is a great way to meet many terrific sailors and to get a look at some smooth sailing boats — up close and personal!
Of Note: your volunteer obligations are completed before the races begin! All club and local boats are checked in the weekend of the EYC regatta, and if necessary, during the week between the regatta and NACs. Other boats are checked in on Saturday and Sunday prior to ANCs, August 1&2. You need not be available for the whole time.
All Hands On Deck! Let Donna Scattergood know ASAP if you are interested in being a part of this committee. We can sure use your help.

Please help us provide efficient hospitality to our out of town guests! We need to borrow two vehicles to use at the Firehouse Ramp during the NAC from August 1 through 7, to launch and recover Flying Scots belonging to visiting sailors. If you have an appropriate vehicle which you can lend, please contact Carol Claypool at (336) 306-4898. The ideal vehicles will be small and light but powerful enough to handle Scots on the ramp, will be equipped with automatic transmission and a trailer hitch on which can be installed a 1 7/8″ ball. Four wheel drive is not necessary. Examples of apopropriate vehicles include: ATVs or 4-wheeler utility vehicles; small Jeeps; compact tractors; skid steers with fork-mounted balls; or compact pickup trucks with the gate removed for visibility. Sorry, we can’t use hatch or lift back vehicles, SUVs, large pick up trucks or jacked up vehicles. The EYC will make sure your vehicle is returned in the same condition and fully fueled.
