We had 25 Sunfish, 4 Day Sailers, 10 RS Aeros and 12 Lasers registred for the MYC 73rd Annual Regatta. The weather was beautiful, sunny and 80 degrees, but the wind, well, it just stayed home most of the weekend. Roger Sharp and the Race Committee did what they could to run some races for the eager competitors who appreciated whatever they could get. The Food was great, the camaraderie was wonderful. There were so many MYC volunteers and it warms the heart to see how hard we work to put on a great event. Thanks so much to everyone who participated and worked to make it a fun weekend!

Well, there was not enough wind to race today, but there were enough people to make some needed repairs to the dock. Thanks to all who helped out today, making the dock safer and more reliable. Dory approved as she looked on!

August 13, 2022, was a perfect night for a moonlight sail on Lake Massapoagh, hosted by Eric and Lynn Hemmendinger. Apres sail, they made s'mores pon the beach. How fun - and just look at that moon! If you've never sailed by moonlight, you have to try it! Thanks Emily Szczypek fo the photos!
