Block Island Race Week
June 21-25 was exciting for the Eastern YC competitors at Block Island Race Week.
Commodore Henry Brauer and Steve Madeira's, Tio Loco, placed 2nd by 1 point in the ORC C Class. Tio Loco had a great week with a bullet in Race 5 and three finishes in second over the seven races. The team sailed hard and had a consistent week, bravo on a great regatta!
In the Multihull Pursuit Race, Seamus Hourihan's Thirst placed fourth with several Eastern members crewing: Patrick Andreasen, Peter Frisch, Daan Goedkoop, Charlie Pendleton, and John Hourihan.
EYC's Ian McLaughlin sailed with Escape Velocity 2 which placed 3rd in ORC D division.

EYC Youth Sailing Program Wraps Week 1
The EYC Youth Sailing Program had a fantastic first week! With 50+ EYC youth signed up or on waitlists we have a great group of young sailors getting out on the harbor. There is still some availability in late July and early August, sign up soon if you want to grab a spot! Registration Here
The program is incredibly thankful for the new and refinished coach boats as well. Safety is a top priority for introducing our 6 to 12 year old sailors to the water, and our Instructors are better able to ensure their safety with this fleet of coach boats.
