Change of Command April 18th

LYC Sailing Community,

This weekend is the Change of Command as well as the SE Dinghy Champs at Key Biscayne Yacht Club. If you are not sailing in the regatta it is mandatory that you participate in the fleet review at LYC. If you are sailing in the regatta, there is a possibility you will be able to make it back to LYC on Saturday in time to ride on the coach boat for fleet review. The fleet review is basically a boat parade where every boat salutes the incoming Commodore on the front East Dock. Sailors have the option to sail (if their boat is at LYC and not at SE Dinghy Champs) or they can ride in one of the LYC coach boats.

It is very important that Junior Sailing makes a strong appearance at this ceremony. If you plan to sail or ride on the coach boat, please let me know so I can get a head count and reserve you a spot on a boat. Junior Sailors must wear their LYC blue Polo Shirt. If you don’t have one, let me know and I will give you one.

This week after practices, our fleet captain, Chip Sabadash is going to give a talk about the formal way to accept an award. He will discuss what the Change of Command ceremony is all about.

Saturday April 18-Change of Command  Fleet Review & Award Ceremony:

4:30- Rigged and Ready (For those sailing in the Fleet Review

4:45- Arrive at sailing center (if riding on an LYC coach boat)

The Fleet review will probably finish around 5:30 and the awards ceremony will follow. Sailors that are receiving a Commodores Cup Trophy, should be at the ceremony to accept their award.
