[Your editor now realizes the village has renamed Seba Days to Family Regatta, but it's late in the publishing process and we've called it Seba Days for soooo long!]

Below is the content from the village's pamphlet. And did you volunteer by selecting from this list of jobs?!)

Calling all EYC members! We need lots of volunteers for the August long weekend, July 30 to August 1, 2022.

A note from our Clubhouse Director...

As some will have noticed the clubhouse has been redecorated and the common area converted into an entertainment and gathering room. Please ensure that you and or your family keep the room clean and maintained for the benefit of all members. In addition please refrain from storing goods in this room unless absolutely necessary, we have plenty of sheds available. I understand the boat and motor currently in there will be removed.

A gas griddle has been purchased for member use and is on the deck. Insure you follow the lighting instructions, clean it properly and reseason the griddle upon use. It takes some time for this to cool down so be cautious prior to putting the cover on.

I recently came out on a Friday and found one of the gas burners on in the kitchen, could have been on all week? Please ensure all burners are off prior to leaving the kitchen.

David Darlington is now the bar manager.

Special thanks to the many members that assisted with the clubhouse over the last few weeks, very much appreciated.

Regards,
Richard

From the Wabamun Watershed Management Council...

I am writing to make you aware of a planned AIS inspection station event planned for the Wabamun boat launch site Saturday July 23, 2022.

[This notice] has gone out to all adjacent municipalities announcing the event and inviting them to attend. As active lake users, we feel this event would certainly be of interest to your members as well. Please feel free to share as you see fit.

I would be happy to answer any questions you may have about the event or the activities of the Wabamun Watershed Management Council (WWMC).

All the best,
Neil Fleming,

Hello Ladies of EYC, SBYC Yacht Clubs and WSA

We are hosting an unstructured, non-competitive and informal Ladies Day on the Water, Saturday, June 11, approx. 1-4pm.

The event is titled Wind, Waves, Women and Wine or WWWW. This is the first of this event, so we shall learn and make next years event even better.

To start, this is about ladies on the water however guys are welcome if safety is an issue.  There may be ladies that want to hop on other boats or may wish to go out on their own boat with partners.  The focus is ladies on the helm and as well as women crew.

There will be a fun race, likely one lap.  No race registration is required, no awards for finishes, no handicaps, boats will finish boat for boat.  There will be a ‘start’ which will be walked thru on Channel 72, so no worries there.

Following the fun race, boats will raft up for a Wine Tasting Event and a Meet and Greet. There will be some beer onboard for those who don’t favour wine.

The Cost: $10 per lady (for the wine – payable on the boat raft) and providing a small appetizer.

How the event works:

• EYC and SBYC will each arrange for their own boats and assign ladies to each boat 1200 – 1230h on their docks, then EYC and SBYC Boats will meet on the water east of EYC at 1300h. 
  
• There will be a Coach Boat (SBYC Whaler).  If you don’t have a racer on your boat, let the Whaler know (Channel 72) and they will make special note of you.

The contact/go to people for the event will be

• EYC: Linda Dalsin and Paul Kanter
  
• SBYC: Bonnie Reib and Nicole Sikora

Please RSVP with your intention to participate by Thursday EOD (so we purchase the correct amount of wine and identify the number of boats interested):

• fleetcaptain@edmontonyachtclub.com or
  
• fleetcaptain@sunshinebay.org
  

Best regards,
Bonnie Reib

The EYC sailing school has published its schedule, but a new addition for club members is a Saturday afternoon race team schedule for youth that we have secured a coach for if there is interest (cost will be reasonable and determined by how much interest there is). Please respond to me if you think you have teens that would like to get some coaching on race techniques and competitive sailing.

And the fun does not stop there. The Alberta Sailing Association (ASA) is hoping to get more people interested in becoming race officials. This is a great opportunity if you're interested in competition and would like to participate in the judging or as a race official. There is a short online course you would take.

What are the benefits of any of these undertakings? Besides joining an elite sport that allows travel across the province, the country and internationally as a competitor, it would give you a chance to earn scholarships if you plan to attend a University on the coastal waters of Canada or the US.

As a Race Official you get the chance to participate in events, should you rise to that level and see the world from the deck of a boat. but even just locally you have an opportunity to travel to local regattas and participate, rather than just be a spectator.

Think about it and if you would like to get more information, contact me at dal@edmontonyachtclub.ca, your local ASA board member.

Telios is a 1979 Mirage 26.  She has a fixed keel measuring 4.3 feet and has a 10 foot beam. I am the original owner and the boat has been sailed primarily in fresh water but had three weeks at the coast in the summers of 1980 and 1981. The boat has been well cared for and has spent her winters in-doors in a heated space. She is currently in her winter environment and can be viewed there by appointment.  

Telios has a 6' 1" head room in the cabin and will sleep 2 in the V berth, 2 in the port side berth and 1 in the starboard side berth. She has a 2 burner alcohol cook top and a large ice box. She is equipped with two one year old batteries. Telios has a recycle head which must be pumped out. The pump out system is included. [Description continues below photograph.]

Telios has a two year old Harken furling gear, a twin aluminum track forestay and a furling genoa. The main sail can be double reefed, and she also has a 150% and 110% dacron genoa and a 153% mylar genoa. She also has a full spinnaker and a mylar spinnaker staysail.

Her instruments are a one year old Signet Marine depth sounder and knotmeter.  She also has a newer Platissimo compass.

Telios comes equipped with a danforth anchor and adequate chain and nylon rode. Her engine is a long shaft 15 horse Evinrude which will recharge her batteries while running.

Telios sits on a trailer which had the electrical system redone in the last couple of years. The trailer has never been in salt water and has not been in fresh water for many years as Telios has been launched and retrieved by the use of a crane.

The asking price is $27,000. Please contact Ed McIntyre at 780-953-2235 for a viewing.
