1 2016 Chester Yacht Club Calendar

2 Commodore s Message It gives me great pleasure to present the 2016 Chester Yacht Club calendar. We owe a huge debt of thanks to our sponsors, without whom the production of this calendar would not be possible. As you read it through you will note an incredible sailing schedule. In a season of 91 days we have 65 days of racing with 108 starts! And that doesn t count Race Week! Our Junior program is getting ready for another busy year. It s a wonderful thing to see so many kids having a good time honing their sailing skills as well as learning teamwork and safety on the water. These sailors are the future of our club and when the sport is in decline across North America this programme needs our support. Our Social Calendar is as active as ever with a couple of new wrinkles as well. The Club is here for you to enjoy. If you have any comments or suggestions do not hesitate to speak to me or any member of the Executive or the Bar Staff. And, please, do patronize our sponsors. This calendar would not be possible without them. THANK YOU. John P. Curry, MD Commodore Thanks to Heather McGuire Photography for the great photographs included in our calendar.
