A Presentation Night to Remember

Presentation night comes around every October, signaling the true end of the sailing season for most of us racers. Aside from the awards, it’s always a great night for crews to get together (often dressed much nicer than we see each other all summer) and reminisce about the fun year they had, speculate on the [...]

Sailpast 2011

Chris Murray, the morning OOD on Sailpast, thought that he was back in Halifax.  The fog was thick enough that the trees on the north side of the basin were gone.

Past commodores have to eat, too.

noted by Bill Cook During winter hours at the NYC there are fewer opportunities to have lunch. Friday lunches are great – no telling who you might meet. On a recent Friday our Commodore had a few friends to lunch. Eight past commodores. Time for you to get out for lunch.
