Rear Commodore’s Cruise & Race to Vallejo
Join Us for a Race/Cruise out to Vallejo Yacht Club on June 26, 2010
The Cruise
This annual event is one that you don’t want to miss. It’s the one time SYC sailors who usually only cruise get to expose themselves to all the challenges of racing and test their boat handling skills against some of the more “hard core” racers in SYC…all done in a spirit of comaraderie and just downright fun.
Power Boat folks and Land Cruisers always enjoy this cruise as well. Sitting at the Vallejo Yacht Club, sipping a cool libation and watching some of the exciting finishes is always a great way to pass an afternoon.
The Race
Notice of Race prepared by the Race Committee can be downloaded on the following link.
The race ends in front of the Vallejo Yacht Club. The boats are docked and then docktails are the order of the day. This is all followed with a great dinner at the Vallejo Yacht Club and an awards ceremony.
The Moorings
The Fun and Food: Buffet Diner $15
As is our custom, you are asked to bring light munchies to the club about 4 pm and patronize their bar before dinner. (We do not do a separate dock-tails at this event). Race awards will be announced before dinner. The VYC is in the midst of a big seawall fund raising effort and will invite their members to join our event if there are any spaces left over
Note: Tides are favorable Saturday, but we will want to be on our way by 1000 am Sunday as they VYC has only 5 feet depth at low tide and low tide is about noon.
If I don’t hear from you I’ll have to make the choice for you, sorry.
We will be having our usual docktails before dinner but please patronize the yacht club as much as possible. They really roll out the red carpet for us as those of us who have been there before can attest.
