Welcome to Summer

Summer is here and there is no better place to spend it than on the grounds and surrounding waterways of the Ware River Yacht Club!

 As we enter Phase III of the Governor’s reopening plan, it is my sincere desire to resume Club activities in the safest manner. Myself and our Board continue to engage in conversations regarding the seriousness of Covid-19 and preserving the health & well being of our membership. 

 With this in mind, we have decided to move forward with our plans to host the 2020 Governor’s Cup. The dates for our annual regatta will be the first weekend in August (8/1 and 8/2) and to ensure this a successful and safe event for all, we will be changing the format. 

 All events/activities will be held outside. We will forgo the traditional social, hold our awards ceremony outdoors, and are exploring catering/food truck options for meals. We are expecting a smaller than average fleet because of Covid-19, however, we still need help from membership to make this event a success. We are looking for assistance in the following areas:  finish line boat, mark boat, safety boat, as well as onshore support.

 A Notice of Race has been posted on our WRYC webpage (wryc.org) and registration/payment information can be found there as well. Online registration is required before July 24th to participate. For safety purposes there will be no (in person) day of race registration. If you are interested in lending a hand, please reach out to Clayton and Ginger James or our Fleet Captain, Scott Titus. Let’s all get together and make this event a huge success!

 Sincerely, 

 Jonathan Matthews, Commodore
