Need Crew, want to Crew in the Octoberfest?
Post your name and contact information as a comment and we'll try to match you up. Many of the racers have made a commitment to take an inexperienced person racing on their boat this Fall. :)

Call for Help Staffing the Music City Catalina Cup
This is the first of what we hope will be a successful annual race for Catalina 22's at PPYC. There will be a number of out of town boats racing this weekend, including the Catalina 22 current national champion and a few former national champs. So, if you want to see some good, close one design racing, this will be a good chance. If everyone shows up that have told us they will be racing, this will be the largest regatta of the year.
Regatta Chair, Craig Klich and PRO, Roger Arnold need help putting on this new regatta the 2nd weekend in October (10/8 and 10/9).
Craig needs help setting up for the dinner and cleaning up afterwards.
Roger needs help with the Chase boats (4 people per day), running the flags for the starting sequence (1 person per day), a score keeper, a line spotter and someone to watch the clock.
All volunteers are encouraged to attend the dinner and refreshments, compliments of the YC.
If you want to be a part of this exciting event, contact Roger, Craig, or I.

Club boats available for regattas!
The Board last night made our club boats available for regattas with reduced restrictions! Pilots will be able to reserve at any time for the days of the regatta on a first come basis. If a Pilot doesn't reserve a boat 2 weeks prior to the regatta, the reservations will be opened up to Pilots.
If you feel you need some individualize racing instruction, please contact the Club Boat Program Director or the Race Director and we'll make sure you feel comfortable with this great activity.
From personal experience, I can tell you the learning curve racing is highly beneficial to any sailing you will do.
