Ahhh Summer too much going on at BYSC to list here, so I won t try. As I said last month, with so many varied activities comes countless different ways to get yourself involved as a participant and/or as a supporting volunteer, and I hope each of you will. My thoughts this month turn to SUNSCREEN!!! As I am personally dealing with having yet another carcinoma removed (this one a squamous cell), I strongly encourage the liberal and frequent use of sunscreen when outside particularly when on our in the water. It is your club come enjoy it - Chuck

3 Junior Sailing Learn to Sail Camp is underway! LTS instructors are working hard to teach beginner, intermediate and advanced students. You ll see them out there most days enjoying the wind and the sun with a great group of youngsters. Two of our Learn to Sail Instructors were the only applicants from our area accepted to the Brooke Gonzalez Clinic this summer. Drummond Koppernaes was selected in the laser radial division. Patrick Mazzeo (skipper) & Travis Tucker (crew, LNYC) were accepted in the Club 420 class. Participants to the clinic are evaluated based on resume from a highly competitive field. This year they turned away over half of the applicants. The clinic is usually taught by Olympic and College coaches. Patrick & Drummond hope to bring back some of the tips they learn at the clinic to the sailors they will be working with this summer in Beaufort.

5 Sailing News: RACING The Lowcountry Regatta on June is fast approaching. This is our biggest sailing event of the year and should be a great time again. Walt Gnann is Regatta Chairman. If you haven t registered on line yet please do. A larger number of boats shown on the pre-registration list shows potential visitors that there will be a good turnout and influence them to also sign up. Pre-register on the club website at We have approximately 45 volunteers on the water ready to meet the sailors and put on a great series. There will be three race courses-the North course, headed up by John Barber, with JY15 s, Lasers, Sunfish and 420 s; the South course, chaired by Wayne Bretsch, with the MC Scows, Sea Island One Designs, Lightnings and Snipes; and the Optimist course, headed up by Commodore Chuck Rushing, with multiple classes of the Opti kids. Non-sailors and non-members are welcome to attend the Lowcountry Boil dinner on Saturday night-just make reservations and pay on-line or at registration and pay. If you are on race committee working on Saturday your dinner is at no charge but you would need to make a reservation for your spouse. Frank P., RC Chairman
