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

This summer's Down the Lake race will take place Saturday, June 19. All the details are in the Notice of Race (with Registration form) and the Sailing Instructions. The wind forecast suggests a relatively short race!

If you have questions, write to Tim, commodore@edmontonyachtclub.ca (Mike's away).

The Spring Series races will be delayed until Alberta has moved to Stage 2 Reopening. That will ease restrictions regarding adult sports which should provide greater comfort and confidence to all participants and result in more boats and crew participating. We apologize for the short notice and hope you can join us June 12 and 13.

New this year, the Wabamum PHRF handicap system is intended to make races as fair and fun as possible by establishing a personalized PHRF for each boat. The last page in the link is the 2021 Yacht Registration and Equipment Inventory Declaration form. That's just a fancy way to say "tell us a bit about your boat," so we can establish a personalized PHRF Handicap for you.

Personalized handicaps will go a long way to leveling the playing field for all boats, whether your boat has the latest Go Fast gear or is just a Basic Boat™️. If you want help filling out your PHRF form, please contact Mike Morris (fleetcaptain@edmontonyachtclub.ca), Tim Bowles (commodore@edmontonyachtclub.ca) or Julius Nemeth (julius.nemeth@telus.net).
