Sailing Community,
Saturday April 12th is the Change of Command at Lauderdale Yacht Club. This will be my first Change of Command ceremony so I have been asking around how things were done in the past.
We will have a normal practice on 4/12. At 4:15pm the Optimists will set up north canal (tie to floating dock or rigged and ready to launch) for the fleet review. Green fleet arrive around 3:45 to rig boats-do not block floating ramp if lasers are not in yet. The fleet review is where boats line up and salute the Commodore. When it is our turn, we will join in on the fleet review. If conditions are too windy then we will have green fleet on the 22' whaler and have silver and gold fleet sail . If no wind then we may tow Optis through the review. It is entirely condition dependent. I will make the call at 3:30 as to what we will do.
The Commodore Cup trophies will be awarded to the top 3 finishes.Awards will be given out after the fleet review during awards ceremony 5:30 on the east lawn. The dress is semi-formal. All sailors are required to wear formal attire. I asked Commodore Ryder what he would like for dress and he said blazer and tie for boys and dresses for girls.
