Corrections to the Last Newsletter

The list of events added to the Sailing Calendar in the last edition of Sailing News had an error in regards to women’s events hosted by NYYC. The NYYC Women’s 2v2 Team Race (June 1-2) is by yacht club invitation and Team EYC will sponsor a team for that - you can sign up on the Sailing Calendar event on the EYC website. The NYYC Women’s Championship (June 28-30) entry is by skipper application, although the Team EYC chairs are available to help with roster building and funding if needed.

Additionally, EYC’s Thomas Barrows was not at the Davis Island J/70 regatta, but rather was coaching his brother Ian to a win at the Olympic trials. Congrats Coach Thomas!
