Gary Jobson Sailing presents a special on the inaugural Swan 42 Invitational Cup held last month in Newport, RI, which included FBYC members Will and Marie Crump and Blake Kimbrough.
I have been asked by the Tides Inn and RRYC Commodore to forward this opportunity to you, which is self explanatory if you review the message and entry form, and looks like fun for one or more Fishing Bay Boats, either sail or power.
We are trying to arrange to display this Trophy at our Closing Dinner on November 7 a a means of promoting competition on Carters Creek on December 4 and 5. As an intra-club gesture, it would be nice if a boat represented FBYC in the parade.
