Posts for July 2019

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. Pictured are Logan Hayes, Guthrie Braun, Joshua Almany, Morey Levy, Jack Cabell, Luke Hayes (CNU), Finn Ciszewski, Coach Alex Zimmermann, Jordan Bendura, Joshua Bendura.  Special shout-outs to Guthrie Braun who placed 6th in Laser Radials and Jordan Bendura who placed 18th.

We are proud of you all!

This Saturday the YAMs, led by committee members Katie & Arch Durham, will be doing a fun lunch cruise in company to Hole in the Wall Grill. This Jimmy Buffet themed lunch meetup is just a short run up into Gwynn's Island located by land at 384 Old Ferry Rd, Grimstead, VA 23064; or by water just tucked into Wharf's Creek (approximately 5 nautical miles from FBYC).

The first round of 'Boat Drinks' will be on the YAM committee, followed by a pay your own way lunch. Be sure to indicate your intent to join up via our facebook event page: Cheeseburger in Paradise Rendezvous. or contact us directly here: Email YAM Chair. 

Airing Friday night at 8:15pm will be the fan favorite "Ghostbusters." This month's movie night will be located behind Fannie's house on the lawn, so bring your favorite picnic blanket or feel free to spectate from the balcony of Fannie's porch.

In anticipation of this fun new venue's use, our club's staff has been kind enough to treat the property for bugs...so there shouldn't be any reason to be scared of ghosts or mosquitoes!  All Friday night J70 sailors are encouraged to mosey on over after hauling to join the fun...

Have you signed up for the 80th Annual One Design Regatta yet?

If not, do so today!  We have a great weekend planned and you won’t want to miss the fun!

Be sure to register before August 1st to avoid the late fee.

Since 2005 we have assembled over 23,000 photos in FBYC's Flickr Account.  These pictures have been viewed over 2,000,000 times.  Over the years, we have shared our old credentials with many different volunteer photographers.  Flickr has now been sold to SmugMug - and in the process they have forced us to change our credentials.  Please contact Strother, Brian, Paul Almany, or Karen Soule to get the new credentials so we can keep the photos coming.
