Our water production plant is currently offline for emergency repairs.
Water has been shut off to the Jackson Creek Docks, Dry Sail Lot, One-Design Lot, Junior Field, & Fishing Bay Ramp until further notice in order to conserve the limited water we have in the tank. I anticipate the water to be restored by July 27th.
We are also having power problems on the West Dock. The dock is not receiving adequate power from the transformer. I have contacted the utility company & will provide an update when I have more information.

JERE DENNISON LEGACY REGATTA
Saturday Aug 5, 2023
This event is held to honor Jere Dennison who served in FBYC leadership roles for over 40 years. While his achievements with the Club are too numerous to mention, he was the Club's youngest Commodore, created the Club's comprehensive Austin Memorial Library, and was Club Historian for over 15 years. Jere was an avid one-design sailor who completely understood that sailing is a lifelong adventure - an ancient legacy to be passed on from generation to generation!

FBYC celebrated Independence Day with an exciting One Design Long Distance race in building conditions!
Congratulations go to Walker Angus for winning the day and the Hicks Trophy, which is FBYC's perpetual trophy for this unique event. Walker skippered one of the club's new Melges 15's as well - great to see this new class taking off at the club (in more ways than one!).

Calling all women sailors, members and nonmembers alike!
There will be another two day Women's Sailing/Racing Clinic on July 30th and 31st. The Sailing Basics Class is for beginners or those who are looking to refresh their nautical skills. Each woman will get hands on experience without the stress of racing as either skipper or crew. The Racing Fundamentals Class is, as the name suggests, race centered, allowing for the sailors to better their boat maneuvering skills in a racecourse setting. You will choose your preferred class when you register!
Advanced registration is required! Please do so here.
This is for women of all ages and all experience levels! Click here for more information on the event including fees …

Congratulations to the FBYC members who made the podium in the 52nd Newport to Bermuda Race. Rives Potts has done very well in many races, and continues to make a name for himself with his crew of family and friends on “Carina.” Glenn Doncaster has had success in this race before, and continued his run with his FBYC crew on “Nanuq,’ including Rebecca Doncaster, Paul Wash, Jerry Latell, and former member Alex Otoole. Here is a quick summary of the conditions of the race courtesy of Jerry Latell:
“We had light air at the beginning and end of the race. And some of it was in leftover slop. The gulf stream crossing was fairly long because of the way …
