2008 Adult Sailing Lessons
"Life goes by pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it." - Ferris Bueller
It's a new year and a new opportunity to take up the great sport of sailing. Grew up sailing and need a refresher? I think we might be able to help. Adult lessons start in June and from what the web bosun has seen over the years, he thinks you'll have a great time, meet some great folks and witness some remarkable sunsets. Got a friend? Bring them along. Not a member? That's not a problem - we welcome you to come on down and participate. So what's the skinny on the lessons?
Here's the Skinny on the Lessons...
Beginner: Tuesdays - June 3rd to July 29th (excluding July 4th week)
Intermediate: Wednesdays - June 4th to July 30th (again, excluding July 4th week)
Time: 6:15 PM to Dusk
Fees: $120 SSYC Members/$240 Non-Members
So, how do you get in on all this action? That's easy...do what Ferris did, just lick your palms, tell the family you're not feeling well and click here: 2008 Adult Sailing Application & Waiver
2008 Woman's Sailing at SSYC
Sure, we have lessons but we also have an opportunity for the ladies to sail - no men need apply Alfalfa.
This summer the newly formed Ladies Fleet will take sail on the Shrewsbury!
Ladies – do you want to learn more about boat handling, racing and race committee? Then come join the Ladies Fleet and learn with other SSYC women!!!
We will use club N-10’s, Flying Scots and privately owned boats to practice our skills. No experience is necessary to participate. This promises to be a no stress fun filled and perhaps even educational experience. The scheduled dates are:
Practice Racing
June 10 - 6pm June 14 – 2pm
July 8- 6pm July 12 - 2pm
July 29 – 6pm August 2 – 2pm
We also will be sponsoring “Tuesday Ladies Night Out”, so hop in a boat and just sail around the river. Need more info, simply contact – Dianne Welch (diannewelch@comcast.net), Linda Kelly (ellekelly76@comcast.net), Ainsley Hilfiker, Kim Clauss or Holly Lyttle (they're in the book!)
2008 "Beer Can" Series
Have a hankering for some casual racing? You know, just kick'n back, holding the tiller with your big toe while you sip a tasty beverage?

Well, then the Thursday night "beer can series" is for you.
Thursday Evenings: Starts June 12th until ???? (Check the calendar!)
Time: 18:00 Hrs. to dusk
Fee: $5 per person, per night - funds used to pay for "fuel," and annual "Series Finale"
