This Sunday is the Chris Williford Second Wind Regatta, taking the place of practice for a very important reason. Many of you know Chris, or his background, but for newer families, Chris is a product of the LYC Opti program, who rose through our ranks to win North Americans, Nationals, and a host of other titles. Last year he was diagnosed with leukemia, has received a bone marrow transplant, and has a long road ahead. But he has us on his team, and we help our own.
Sunday is three things -- a fundraiser for Chris and his family, a party for everyone, and some sailing for our sailors. Please have the kids rigged and ready by 9:00 before the close of registration and the 9:30 skippers meeting. The first race starts at 10:15, right in front of the club, and will involve every class of boat LYC can put on the water. Registration costs $100 and we're asking everyone to participate. This will be an amazing show of support for our crewmate Chris and his family.
A few important details:
Do not bring lunch. The kids will have a fun lunch break to enjoy the cookout on shore that is open to anyone and everyone for a low cost.
Please plan to stay yourself. Jody Lewis is organizing multiple, entertaining activities throughout the day and everyone is welcome to stay.
Awards will take place and the day will wrap up at 4:45.
Sunday will be a triple success: sailing, good camraderie, and the chance to help one of our extended family who really needs it.
Thank you.
