PLYC Meeting

Good morning Members, 


I am guessing we are all anxious to get the season started, and excited about having several new boats join the fleet. The preparation involved in getting them ready for the season seems a little overwhelming at times. However, I think we are all getting close, and hopefully will be ready by June.

Our first schedule meeting is tomorrow night at 7:30. Unfortunately, our normal meeting place (The Fishermen’s Catch) is not yet open on Wednesdays. So, we are scrambling a bit for an alternate location. 

As soon as we have a location confirmed, I will post the address on pointlookoutyc.com. I apologize for the last-minute scramble. 

The meeting meeting itself will be somewhat informal to start. We will discuss the summer schedule and get some feedback on the “trip-weekends” and destinations. We can start planning for our annual fundraiser and maybe come up with some new methods of meeting our goal. 

I would like to discuss plans for our first event, the Blessing of the Fleet, and hear your ideas about refreshing some of the legacy events. We can also take this opportunity to talk about some new race strategies.

I will follow-up shortly. I hopefully we will see you all tomorrow.

Thank you, 

Rob

Good Morning Sailors,

Here are some activities available to us in the coming months. Consider the 4th of July excursion to NYC. There are a couple of places to have a party. 
I will be looking into more inter-club activities in our area. Feel free to reach out to sailors who might be interested in participating in our activities, including a small-boat racing division. 

More to come…


Hi Rob,


Pleasure speaking with you yesterday!

As mentioned, we are docking at Liberty Harbor Marina in Jersey City on B Dock.

Here is a list of events I thought we could link the clubs:
  • June 1-2 – Weekend Cruise – I checked the tides – and it is possible to sail south of Verrazano. I’ll let you know if we decide to sail to your area.
  • July 4th – we have our traditional 4th of July BBQ at the dock starting at 2-3pm followed by a sail at dusk and viewing of the 4th of July fireworks from the water
  • July 20-21 – Weekend Cruise – destination – TBD
  • August 10-11 – Weekend Cruise – most likely to Atlantic Highlands – we can meet there!
  • October 12-14 – Columbus day weekend cruise – 2 nights – destination – TBD

As for racing – we are planning to participate in the following races:
  • Around Long Island Regatta – July 25-28
  • Liberty Cup – in the New York Harbor September 14-15 
  • NYC to Montauk – September 20-21

I’ll make the introductions to David Spence and Moochie of Liberty Yacht Club who are organizing the Liberty Cup and the NYC to Montauk race so that they will keep you in the loop.

Cheers for a great season!
