The spring sailing season is upon us! Team EYC will compete in its (sort of) home opener - the Jackson Cup on April 29 - 30. Sonar set-up and tuning will be a group effort at the BYC this Sunday, April 16 at 1:30PM. Please come pitch in if you can make it! If you can’t make it, mark Jackson Cup weekend on your calendar to come watch some great team racing and cheer on Team EYC! |

| EYC Invited to Global Team Race |
|
|
Eastern has received an invitation to compete in the Global Team Race hosted by Royal Thames Yacht Club in London this September. This event is relatively new and has historically included very few American teams, making this invitation all the more impressive for our program! Sign-ups are open on the Sailing Calendar on the website.

Peter Isler's ABC's of Coastal and Offshore Navigation and Weather
|
|
|
Last Saturday, April 8th, almost 50 folks learned the latest in software and on-line apps from the Wizard of Nav, Peter Isler. As one of the project developers of Expedition Software, Peter has a unique view on what works and what doesn't, what is legal for racing, and what requires a no-fail internet connection.
|
| |
|
In addition to Expedition, he really likes Windy.com, Predict-wind, and a few others. We can learn by checking out his online school: Marine Weather University. There are dozens of great classes there including Chris Bedford's world class curriculum in the Fundamentals Course and the Advanced Course. There's a 15% off coupon code for any course/class on campus using coupon code: EYC!. That coupon is good until the end of April.
