FBYC hosted a fantastic group of ladies (both club members and non) for the annual Women's Clinic. This year eleven women took to the water in three club Flying Scots, a club 420 and a Laser and enjoyed two full days of on-the-water practice with a scattering of chalk talks. Everyone got what they came for which was tons of tiller time and a better understanding of strategy, tactics, and racing rules. Several participants will be out sailing at FBYC in the immediate future including at AOD and the Fall …

Who's that handsome young man at the tiller of a Dyer Dhow?  None other than our cherished and much missed FBYC sailor Jere Dennison.  So to both honor and remember his decades of contributions to FBYC, register now on-line for the Jere Dennison Legacy Regatta!

Wind, fog and dead calm infused with heat indexes over 100 degrees did not stop our FBYC Junior Laser sailors from racing fast in the Laser North American Championships in Brant Beach, NJ July 18-21.  With more than 120 contenders, including adults, this was the largest regatta for many of our Juniors.  Our eight racers, along with their coach, braved the conditions and represented FBYC well.
