Our thoughts and prayers go out to Scott Trecartin who is ill at this time; he is home and on strict bed rest. We all hope you are getting better each day.

The Valentine’s Day Regatta held in St. Petersburg on Feb. 4-5. An exception has been made so we are sending coaches for RWB and Lasers. Boat load will be this Sat. No Laser sailing in Venice on Feb. 4th.

Feb. 20th is our Presidents Day Regatta for our club; it is on a Monday.

Allison Jolly Regatta “Girls only”: March 10-11 in St. Petersburg. This is a great regatta; if it is at possible you should plan to attend. Signup sheet is now posted.

Scout Week: We are now taking registrations for Scout Week March 12th-16th, from 8:00a.m.-12:00p.m. The cost is only $100.00. If you know a boy scout or girl scout aged from 9-14 let them know this is a great way to introduce them to sailing. Quite a few sailors joined our program after participating in scout week.

Jabbo Gordon Regatta 1st Committee meeting held on Feb. 18th at 9:15 in the ready room at the VYC. Please come and join the meeting the more help we have to plan and work on the regatta the better it will be. All adults are welcome!! For those of you who do not know this is our regatta we host at Indian Mound Park in Englewood, on April 7th, it is a 1 day regatta with 80-100 sailors in attendance. With this being our regatta we will need your help in organizing and putting on this event, you will be asked to help with registrations, handing out lunches and we will also ask for you to try to get sponsors for our T-shirts. We will be having a committee for this event. As soon as a date is set I will send out an email to inform you.

T-Shirt design contest for the Jabbo Gordon Regatta!! Calling for all sailors to enter a design for the shirts for the regatta. Last year the shirt was designed by Abbie Lomason. The design can have 3 colors and should fit on a sheet of 8.5X11 inch paper. I have design packets ready for you, or you can draw and color it on a sheet of printer paper.

Picture Saturday at 9:00a.m.: A picture will be taken of all current and former sailors this Sat. 1/28. Please wear your white VYBA polo, a white polo or a VYBA shirt if you have one.
