Off Season Activities Abound

Gabi arrives at Severn Yachting Center for the off season.

All three keel boats are safely tucked away for the off season. However, being tucked away doesn’t mean they are being left alone during the cold winter months. The fleet committee is actively working on tasks identified by the club’s sailors. Wagtail and Snagglepuss are on the hard at Holiday Marina. Wags is undergoing some rig work as well as electronics and cosmetic repair. Snagglepuss is resting comfortably with a clean bottom. More work is needed on Snags, but that is being scheduled for later in the year. Gabi is across the river from her sisters at Severn Yachting Center. Crews there are working on her propulsion issues. The goal is to have Wags and Gabi back to the Club for flag raising. As always, there is more work to do than there are hands to do the work. Please contact me if you are willing and able to help out.

Thanks to Joe Morgan and Jim Garrett for their preparation and coordination for the 3rd Annual Sunday Series kickoff meeting earlier this month. The meeting was well attended and interest continues to grow. The fleet currently consists of ten Albacores, three of which are club owned. If you missed the meeting, don’t fret, you can still get in on the fun. Sailing begins April 19th, with racing scheduled to start the first Sunday in May. We have launched the WRYC Albacore Fleet Facebook page this year, which can be found at https://www.facebook.com/groups/593952764790640/?ref=bookmarks. Please join in the conversation and fellowship. The WRYC Albacore Fleet page is intended to help communicate goings-on and news in a timely and effective manner. We’re stepping up from random text messages, join the page to find the latest Albacore Fleet and Sunday Series news.

See you on the water (very soon),

Scott Titus

Fleet Captain
