[WYC Announce] Upcoming Club Events (Sign Up Now!)

[Vice Commodore]

Greetings Sailors (new and old),

After a slow start the club is ramping up our activities. There are now
plenty of opportunities for people of all skill levels to get involved and
out on the water. Check out our listed events at
http://www.washingtonyachtclub.org/lessons and join our discord at
https://discord.gg/pDk67wvMfh to keep up to date with everything we do.

*Recurring Events:*
Friday Night Social sailing has been really successful thanks to our new
Social Chair (Thanks Sam) and is a great way to end the week and learn
about sailing keelboats. Signups close around 6pm the Wednesday prior
(Tonight I will keep it up till midnight).
Plans are currently being made for a reoccurring Women & Marginalized
Genders (WMG) Sailing Night, more information should be released soon.

*Novice Classes:*
We should be starting to have regular FJ classes from 12:00-5:00 on
Tuesdays, which will be the best way to learn sailing fundamentals and
start getting ratings. Signups for Tuesday events close around 6pm the
Sunday before.
Daniel Oliver has been running Sailboard Lessons out of Sail Sand Point,
and there are few new ones up on the website. Space is limited so sign up
now!

*Ithaka (Sign up by Midnight Tonight):*
I have attached a note from David Swartz regarding some of the work he
would like to get done on Ithaka this weekend. To incentivize
participation, there are plans for a post work party Mexican themed potluck
dinner on Saturday along with a swim (either off Ithaka or at Cozy Cove).

*Fourth of July (Sign up by Saturday):*
The plan is to sail around Lake Washington and Lake Union, raft-up, BBQ,
and see the fireworks at Gasworks park at 10:15pm from the boat! If you
plan on bringing a guest, please fill this form out:

Details are subject to change! Members will meet at the WAC or can meet us
either at Ivar's or another soon-to-be disclosed location.

*Inboard Keelboats:*
Nightshade and Talaria have not been going out very much and could use a
little attention. The website is still down, however, if you are
interested and rated in reserving either boat (including longer trips)
contact me or one of the other officers.


Thanks and have fun out on the water,
William Rae
