Flying Scott Fleet 44 Update

We are excited that the Flying Scot Midwest District Championship has rotated back to EYC and will be held in conjunction with the Ephraim Regatta this year.  Since this is a district championship, we anticipate that more racers will be in attendance.  EYC members who are interested in racing or volunteering during this event please contact Woody Heidler at [email protected],

We are also looking for a host to house Dan Leach (Fleet Captain for Clinton Lake) and Chris Tesdal for the Districts/Ephraim Regatta.  Housing is a great way to extend EYC hospitality.  There are additional sailors who have also expressed interest in coming to Ephraim if housing is available.  Please contact Nancy Claypool at [email protected]

Fleet Activities

If you’re looking for help getting your boat ready for the season or would like to join in on some chalk talks, feel free to reach out. I also hope we’ll have plenty of chances for those interested to socialize and unwind after racing, Mondays and Saturdays.

Congratulations to Michael Faugust, Jennifer Ikeda (and yours truly) who placed fifth in the Championship Division.  I must note that a couple of us had a conversation during the Midwinters with Terry Dees and her husband, Dan Kolenich, at Ft. Walton.  Terry Dees was the Flying Scot Class President in 1995 and she and her husband, Dan Kolenich, attended the 2009 NACs at EYC and commented during this event that it was best NAC she ever attended.  When Michael Faugust asked her what made it memorable, she started out by complimenting our staff – who helped park boats, unload and transport gear, get masts up, and otherwise assisted wherever they could.  She also mentioned that all of our events were terrific and, for the most part, kept all the racers together over the course of the event.  So, here we are about 16 years later and our event is still well remembered.  Kudos to EYC!
