New This Season: Grouping & Measurements
To expedite the process of craning-in boats and to avoid congestion at the marina, we will group boats based on their dimensions. We will pair vessels with larger mast overhangs with smaller vessels, to best use the available space. Please email Mike Mendzat ([email protected]) to confirm your participation. Include these details:
Precise measurements are appreciated, but your best estimate will suffice. Call for Volunteers! We need crew members to assist with the launch. If you, your friends, or family can help, please let Mike know! Mike Mendzat is Sunshine's Launch Logistics and Events organizer. His new phone number is 780-405-4399. Welcome back to the 2026 sailing season! I hope you are as excited as I am in anticipating another great year of sailing. I would like to thank our outgoing Board members for the tremendous job and countless hours they put in maintaining a community that continues to draw us back year after year.
I am pleased to present your new board of directors for the 2026 year as follows:
Be on the lookout for the newsletters that will inform you of the exact dates for docks in which is always weather dependent, yet predictably somewhere during the first three weekends of May. As we have come to expect, it will be a mandatory all hands on deck experience. As usual, food, refreshments, and great company will be enjoyed along with a good night's sleep after all the exercise. Our club only exists because people like you say yes to the volunteer opportunities through the year. We will have various work projects and committees throughout the summer that will need our volunteer efforts to continue to perpetuate the viability and vitality of the club. Please consider saying yes to some of the volunteer opportunities that will come along this year. Our community and the way we come together socially holds a special place in my heart. If you have additional social ideas that you would like to see, please email Liliana Cordeira as we build our social calendar for the year. I look forward to seeing everyone soon and enjoying a great 2026 sailing season together. Here is to another year of water, wind, and sun!

At our Family Day potluck, Harbour Master Ed Pardy shared some of his "to do" items:
Ed, I apologize if I got any of that wrong. I'll blame on it on my food coma from eating too much chicken pot pie and perogies!

The Sunday evening fireworks are very popular but he Parkland County has a Fire Ban in effect. Here is the relevant web page which says, "Fire Services will evaluate fireworks permits on a case-by-case basis." Terry joined EYC with a Day membership around 2011 after being a member of the Sunshine Bay Yacht Club for many years. This allowed Terry & Leonie who had a West Wight Potter 19 to use EYC's docks and facilities on a "day basis". During this phase of his membership Terry still contributed a lot of volunteer time on a variety of activities.
In 2013 Terry sold his Potter and became a partner with Rob Martin in Fugitive, a San Juan 24, and bought a "full" family membership. Terry was a member of the Board of Directors for several years. During his tenure as Membership Director, Terry sorted out a "rats nest" of past records, establishing a new and updated data base, and member share tracking system with the issuance of new share numbers. Terry also participated significantly in several club strategic plan initiatives. He pushed hard for EYC to establish a vision and definitive action plan update, upgrade and in some cases remake the club's infrastructure. Especially Hurry Inn! He was always front and centre at docks in and docks out. Initially in the water but as his arthritis got worse, Terry became the key person on shore to ensure the dock sections were stacked and unstacked to guarantee correct placement. He assumed this role from Bill Hunka. Terry was always there to flip burgers with flare and humour on Seba Days and at club BBQs. Terry and Rob won a number of races on Fugitive over the years, including Splice the Mainbrace twice. He performed bowman duty on spinnaker sets and was a sail trimmer extraordinaire! Terry passed June 3, 2024, aged 76. His caustic wit and keen observations are sorely missed! -- Rob Thanks to Marg Iveson for gathering all the summer songs suggested during the Trivia-Activia contest held on Canada Day.
