The NOR doesn't say exactly but HYC is the host club so I will assume that racing will take place near HYC.

Come out and Cheer On GBCA this Saturday in the Texas Challenge Cup!

We will be racing against LYC, HYC and TCYC for the coveted trophy.  Selected sailors from each club will compete in 5 races aboard J22's, J80's and Sonars.

Spectator Boats and lots of screaming and yelling and cheering for GBCA is strongly encouraged!

Voting is Closed.  Thank you to everyone who submitted their ballot.  Now that the important stuff is done, don't forget to VOTE next week for the leader of the free world.

I hope everyone has opened their mail, detached your membership card from the paper and put it in your wallet!

GBCA is excited to launch the new senior membership cards and start to offer discounts to you at the stores and businesses you frequent most AND it's all happening just in time for Harvest Moon!!!

As you prepare for the race on Thursday, or maybe Wurstfest Regatta coming up in November, or the J22 circuit, check out the "Senior Member Rewards" page for all the special offers.  Right now, get discounts from Blackburn Marine, KO Sailing, Bahama Rigging, B Sailing, Seabrook Shipyard, Alternate Latitude Charters, UK Sailmakers and coming soon.....Hayes Rigging and Quantum.

If you want to take advantage of these savings and aren't a senior member, sign up today!  OR, upgrade from your crew level membership to senior level!

Expect new cards to be mailed out at the end of each month.

Enjoy!!!  And tell your friends that GBCA IS the place to race!!!

They are moving up!!!!

Someone asked for photos of the candidates to help them when voting.  See the front page of our website for a document with photos.

Good, light breeze today.  RC is finishing up the second race and will do a third.  Party starts at 6 in the tent at Watergate!

Well, technically -- it will be in the tent right next to the club house.  Don't park by the pool please -- ALL weekend.  Park by the club and in the parking lot on your left before you get to the clubhouse.  We will see you in the big white tent tomorrow evening around 6 or 6:30!!!

If you did not receive an email with the online ballot, we may need to update your address in our system.  Please email me and I will resend or confirm if you received the ballot.

To all Senior Members -- please check your email inbox for the online ballot (sent yesterday) to elect the 2013 Board of GBCA.  I realize that if some of you opened it right as your received it, the link didn't work.  I apologize for the inconvenience but everything is up and running now so please return to the email, follow the link and vote.

There are write-in selections for each candidate and for the trustee positions.  Feel free to add names but know that to be on the board, and to be elected, you must be a senior member.  We must take that into acount when nominating individuals and when awarding positions.

Also, scroll down to read about our exciting news that your GBCA membership cards are on the way!!  These cards will give you discounts at local businesses that support sailing in our area.

Thank you and please vote!
