Welcome to the 2012 sailing season! Over the winter months your board has been working to improve your racing experience! We will once again race with our neighboring clubs in a "Boston Rumble". Our first event will be on June 13th and will be located in the area of Hospital Shoal. Along with CPYC we will be joined by Hingham YC, this is sure to be a great event. Our second Rumble will take place in the waters of President Roads again with CPYC on July 3rd. Yes July 3rd is a Tuesday, due to events celebrating the 4th of July there will be no racing on July 4, 2012.

In recognition of years of dedication to the club, the CYC Spring Regatta has been renamed The Bob Hartl Memorial Spring Regatta. Please show your support by representing your club.

As always, I would like to encourage our racers to abide by Racing Rules 14 and 44.1 regarding racer-to-racer collisions. I am sure that we all appreciate the competitive edge of this sport, and this can be maintained, but it must be coupled with sportsmanship and respect for our fellow racers. As everyone is aware, we share Boston Harbor with quite a bit of traffic, some of which are other recreational boaters. Skippers should be forward thinking tactically and take into consideration that these pleasure boaters are not racers and should be treated with respect as members of the greater boating community.

I look forward to seeing you all on the water and I hope your summer of 2012 is rewarding.

Regards,

Gregory E. Graham
Fleet Captain
