Do you use a @fbyc.net Mail Forward?

In investigating the Spam problem with our Email Server, we have run across one specific fixable issue as follows:

On Saturday and Sunday, August 9-10, 2008, FBYC will hold its 69th Annual One Design Regatta. Traditionally, this is a great event with upwards of 70 boats.

Sailing instruction still available!

The summer is flying by . . . junior week is now a distant memory . . . but those club boats are so inviting! Your opportunities to take advantage of coaching at the club are not gone!

Our next class is Beginning Optis (parents, you can do it too!), from July 28-31. For $150 (members), you can have 6 hours of instruction for 4 days with our own Hart Moore, and then be really ready to use those boats. What a bargain!

Intermediates (or beginning Lasers) have one more group option this summer, from August 12-15. Get a couple of your friends to take the class with you, and then practice for the fall regattas!

Four Tips from BoatU.S. to Prevent Hurricane Damage

HURRICANE ALLEY, VA, July 8, 2008 -- With the first storm of the year, Hurricane Bertha, lurking offshore, Boat Owners Association of The United States (BoatU.S.), with 40 years of experience gained from post-storm recovery efforts and thousands of hurricane-related insurance claims files, has four tips that can help your boat make it through this storm season.
