FWYC Letter Log January 2017 | Page 11

The first Zevin of 2017 sailed under chilly conditions. Myassasaur got off to an early lead and wrapped up first place. The next Zevin will be held on January 21st after a Rules Seminar.

Kip Keelin dominated the Shamrock fleet at the annual Boxing Day Regatta. Thanks to Mr. & Mrs. Gramm for hosting this RC Boat event.

The Change of Watch and Awards Banquet Saturday, January 7 is one way for new members to obtain a good understanding of what goes on at the club over the past year and the members that make it happen. The actual Change of Watch and Installation of 2017 Officers follows Yacht Club traditions with a ceremony introduced to our club by the Florida Commodores Association( FCA). Please consider attending this event. Help us all show our appreciation for those members that keep our club in good order. Activities of fellowship and entertainment, on shore as well as over the water, is why we are members.
