Tuesday, June 15th, 2010

The EYC now has its own classified advertisements.  Members can post advertisements in four categories:  For Sale, Items Wanted, Skippers Seeking Crew, and Crew Available.  The classifieds are a Facebook discussion page, so you must be a Facebook member to use the classifieds (it’s free!).  Juniors looking to crew in races:  this is where you can let skippers know of your availability.

Members can still post a handwritten notes on the EYC’s clubhouse bulletin board, as well.

Looking for a Few Good Race Committee Men and Women – 2010

Thursday, March 25th, 2010

The EYC wants to create a “home-grown” pool of trained and certified race committee personnel, in order to continue to improve the quality of race management during the Ephraim Regatta.  Race management is challenging and can be a rewarding hobby for people who like to get out on the water in powerboats and not just cruise around aimlessly in circles, but actually DO something.  If you are interested in being trained as a race management official, contact Jay Lott, EYC Race and Regatta Chairman, as soon as possible at jaylott01@gmail.com .  The EYC will pay for US Sailing certification courses for the right candidate(s).  You don’t have to be an experienced sailor or racer in order to be a race official (although it helps).  For the forseeable future, EYC staff will continue to run all series races and all regattas except the Ephraim Regatta.
