2026 Commodore’s welcome letter

3/20/2026

 
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:
  • Commodore – Amie Pardy, [email protected]
  • Vice Commodore – David Holdsworth, [email protected]
  • Treasurer – Doug Crighton, [email protected]
  • Secretary – Carol Hurst, [email protected]
  • Membership Director – Ken Wright, [email protected]
  • Social Director – Liliana Cordeiro, [email protected]
  • Harbour Master – Ed Pardy, [email protected]
  • Assistant Harbour Master – Greg Sneep, [email protected]
  • Hurry Inn Director – Ann Ramsden, [email protected]
  • Fleet Captain/Sailing School – Hendrik Cuppen, fleetcaptain@edmontonyachtclub
  • Clubhouse Director – David Carr, [email protected]

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!

Amie Pardy
