This spring visitors to the Deltaville Maritime Museum will see some familiar history on display among the nautical history of the area. Club historian Jere Dennison and several other volunteers have been working with the Deltaville Maritime Museum to include an exhibit on Fishing Bay Yacht Club that will include pictures, stories and other artifacts like an Opti and even one of old club signs.
Friday, an Opti donated by Luke and Logan Hayes was set up at the Deltaville Maritime Museuem by Mark Hayes and Doug Bendura. The boat is a 1981-1982 Opti built at the North Carolina Maritime Museum and used in their junior program until 2005 when it was bought by the Hayes family. Luke and Logan both learned to sail on the boat and it was used at FBYC through junior week in 2015. Today it became a permanent part of the Deltaville Maritime Museum FBYC exhibit.
As this exhibit comes together, the membership will have an opportunity to innagurate this display and express their grattitude to the Deltaville Maritime Museum on Saturday, May 28 from 6-8pm.
