DCYC Sailors,
This year promises to
be a great one for the Deep Creek Yacht Club. As well as celebrating the
50th anniversary of Sandy Douglass’ greatest achievement, the Flying
Scot, we are launching some projects to improve the physical and
esthetic quality of our club. Tom Kammer and his group will install a
French drain at the bottom of the parking lot to make it less swampy,
Dave Mahan and Frank Meehan, with help, will install windows in the
kitchen to improve ventilation, Bob Vance will continue to work on
improving the Ward Room, and Darrell Van Hutten, with help from all,
will repair sections of damaged docks. These are major projects, so
please give the project managers all possible help. Marie Potts-Deakin
will take some of the Membership Committee burden from Gary Schubert by
writing a guide for prospective members. Please assist Gary ((304)
457-1240) by passing on to him names and phone numbers of anyone you
know who might be interested in joining our club. New membership is the
lifeblood of the Deep Creek Yacht Club.
Dave Mahan and Don Hott
will make changes in the Bi-Laws, clarifying the insurance coverage of
the ten staterooms in the main building.
For sailors wanting to
dry sail, Ryan Schubert is going to provide a boats-in – boats-out
service for each weekend. For further information contact Ryan at (304)
457-1240.
For skippers who
are looking for crew or crew looking for a skipper, contact Roger Levin
at
roglevin@aol.com
or via telephone during sailing season at (301) 387-7804.
For those who
want to find out about the effects of immersion in cold water, check

I was going to wish you
“Fair Winds and Full Sails” until I was reminded of the African proverb
that says “Smooth seas do not make skillful sailors.”
