Congratulations to Charlotte List who placed 60th out of approximately 250 boats at the Valentine's Day Regatta in St. Petersburg, Florida the first weekend in February.  This was a very competitive regatta and Saturday's winds were about 30 mph which kept only the daring on the courses.  Amazing they could keep those Optimists upright in the high winds.  Sunday brought a day of chilling temperatures and moderate winds.  Charlotte met her goal and qualified for the upcoming USODA Team Trials at Texas Corinthian Yacht Club April 29-May 2.

Hello From the Rear Commodore.....

Well it is Wintertime but the Junior Sailing Committee is hard at work setting up the Junior Program for the 2010 Season.  We have several returning instructors ready to go and we have an action-packed sailing season planned.  So after the last frost be sure to get your boats out and ready for a great summer of sailing at CYCCM.

Please take advantage of online registration for Sailing Class Registration; Boat Storage and Locker Reservations.

Thanks and I am looking forward to seeing you around the club this Spring!

Carol List, Rear Commodore

On a cool, beautiful September day two of our junior sailors, Charlotte List and Abby Lord sailed in the Lake Hopatcong Yacht Club's Annual "Back to School" Regatta.  "Lake Hopatcong sailors know that northeasterly breezes are nothing like their big water cousins. Strong early, fading to shifty and fickle is the norm, and the 2009 Back to School Regatta was no exception. Through the cooperation of the sailors and the hard work by the race committee, each fleet got their full schedule of races in, with the usual wonderful smiles coming off the water.  Charlotte List placed 2nd in Red Fleet and 3rd Overall and Abby Lord placed 5th in Blue Fleet and 9th Overall.  Congratulations to our junior sailors!
