Clubhouse News

Our water production plant is currently offline for emergency repairs.

Water has been shut off to the Jackson Creek Docks, Dry Sail Lot, One-Design Lot, Junior Field, & Fishing Bay Ramp until further notice in order to conserve the limited water we have in the tank.  I anticipate the water to be restored by July 27th.

We are also having power problems on the West Dock.  The dock is not receiving adequate power from the transformer.  I have contacted the utility company & will provide an update when I have more information.

Congratulations go to Walker Angus for winning the day and the Hicks Trophy, which is FBYC's perpetual trophy for this unique event.   Walker skippered one of the club's new Melges 15's as well - great to see this new class taking off at the club (in more ways than one!).

Congratulations to the FBYC members who made the podium in the  52nd Newport to Bermuda Race. Rives Potts has done very well in many races, and continues to make a name for himself with his crew of family and friends on “Carina.” Glenn Doncaster has had success in this race before, and continued his run with his FBYC crew on “Nanuq,’ including Rebecca Doncaster, Paul Wash, Jerry Latell, and former member Alex Otoole. Here is a quick summary of the conditions of the race courtesy of Jerry Latell:
