It’s Time for Spring Cleaning! It’s been a long winter, but spring is in the air and that means its time to get the Club looking ship-shape for the upcoming sailing season!  Come join your fellow members for the annual Spring Clean-Up on Sunday April 7th, from 9 AM – Noon.  No experience or tools necessary, just a willingness to pitch-in as we spruce up the club.

WE COULD REALLY USE VOLUNTEERS WITH LEAF REMOVAL EQUIPMENT. (Blowers, Vacuums, etc.)

Coffee and doughnuts will be provided to get volunteers kick-started ...

Share the news!  Invite your friends to attend!  There's loads to learn and new sailors to meet at FBYC's crew training seminar this year.  Classes are Tuesdays, April 2, 9 and 16 and will be held in Richmond.  The on-water sessions will be April 28 and May 5.  Learn all the details and enroll at the FBYC.net Event page.  

Have more questions?  For the answers, email Lauren DeSimone at laurenbdesimone@gmail.com

What do those two things means?  It's time to banish winter and welcome spring at FBYC's Bermuda High Party March 30.  We'll gather at Paul and Mary Almany's Glen Allen, VA home at 1800.  There'll be plenty of stories to share and plans to make, not to mention wonderful food and drink. 

Be sure to register on-line by March 23.  And bring some socks to burn--clean and cotton ones please.

Towering waves, exhilarating speeds and tales of triumph and tragedy thrilled the largest crowd ever for an FBYC winter program. Charlie Enright, Volvo Ocean racer (and Morning Light movie star!) regaled everyone last week, including some prospective FBYC new members and junior racers. Charlie was poignant, at times hilarious and always inspiring.  It was a great way to start planning for our upcoming sailing season and certainly inspired many to, at least dream of, foiling monohulls in the southern ocean. (Well maybe a nice “round the buoys race” instead.)
