Good day all,
I hope you have power, phone, and internet connections after yesterday’s mess. If not, let me know, I am warm and connected right now. I am writing to notify you that we have scheduled our Fleet’s Spring Meeting for Tuesday evening March 31, 2020 at the PYC. Starting around 5:30PM with the meeting beginning at 6:00PM might make sense?

I am passing along this message from the PYC Race Officer for three free sailing/racing seminars to be held Wednesday evenings this month. Please come join us for three evenings of fun. The PYC is also hosting a weekend of USSailing programs which will lead to club level certification in Race Management as well as Judging. These seminars do have a fee but run all day March 30 and 31. Additional information on these are available on the PYC website as well as USSailing.org. Attending any of these events will improve our Fleets competition as well as help racing in Casco Bay. We need more race officials with training, come join us. See you there.
