[Sailchick]

I think I might race but July 8th is almost over and I don't have a fax machine.    hopefully, you will take a late entry.

[jsailor]

You bet!

Call the HYC office 281-471-1255.

Or fill out the entry, scan and send via email hyctx@aol.com

I think that email will work.

The NOR shows a $10.oo late fee.

Ladies - we are creating a cruising class!

Right now - it's a J109, a J40 and a Beneteau something  (what is it Teri?)

If you're interested in cruising around some marks on Saturday with your big boat - there is still time!

[tlsgale]

It's a Beneteau 393, with AC, blender, and a loud stereo, so we may not be the fastest but we will be very comfortable...
Let's get more boats out on the cruising line! Come on, ladies...it's non-spin, one distance race each day, lots of fun! There only has to be 40% women on board, with a lady at the helm...still time to register!

[ChrisK]

The ladies of GBCA had an impressive showing. Terry, Bevelry, Emma, Jody...

Congrats Beverly in the big boat class.

A BIG congrats to Emma Doss, who won the Catherine Spiller Trophy racing a J22.

[Sailchick]

and Corrie, Lucy, Mary, Bridgett, Andrea.....

Beverly - insert your crew here!

GBCA Women showed up in great numbers!

[beverly]

...and LindaJ, and KathyR, and DeAnneM, and BettyB, and AndreaP, and TerriC, and LeighZ, and Margaret (AnneLee's sister), and I can't forget to praise my cabin boys that took care of all our needs both days - JeffK, PeteM, and my ever-supportive hubby.

Great competition, great racing, superb after-racing, overall great weekend - I hope we can start planning now for the chick-on-the-stick! 

I'm doing all I can to put the C back in gbCa!!!

[Kevin Box]

Reads like a who?s who of GBCA women.  Prominent members, past and present Board members and perpetual trophy winners?

Well done ladies!   

[ChrisK]

Sounds like the makings of a rematch...

Mark down Sept 12th, the GBCA Woman's Regatta...
More wind will be ordered.

That was fun!
Oh, and thanks for those tasty "hybrid" mojitos Jody
