2 Page 2 Boat Yard Business.please read! Boat yard space is available in the yard. Due to some shuffling of the fleet and,actually using the C-15 racks that were built a couple years ago, we have a couple of extra spaces for boats in the yard. Rental rates can be found at I would like to pass along a friendly reminder that we have several people behind on their rent for the boat yard. I will be starting the process of removing those people from the yard if the accounts are not brought up to date. The boat yard agreement states that rental fee in advance. We also have a boat yard policy working its way through all the proper channels. One thing the policy will state is one rental space= one watercraft. If you are doubling up please prepare to find a new home for one or the other. Another item is no other than the watercraft can be stored in the rental space. This has been brought up because of the eyesore it creates. Please be proactive so it is easier on all of us. Boat Yard Manager Dave Morris Thank you Dave She's Back...at Happy Hour Chef de Somer, that is! She will be preparing, for our pleasure, Rolled Chicken Breast with sun dried tomatoes, Smashed Sweet Potatoes (yummy) & Veggies. This tantalizing dish will only cost you $8 per plate & will be served on Friday the 27th from 5-7:30pm. Happy Hour beverages of $3 beer, $4 wine & $5 liquor will be served from 5-7pm. So, plant a tree on "Arbor Day," & then join us for fun & relaxation! Your P.C. Nat.

I am thrilled to let you know that we signed up 24 new members-many of them young families. All the new members will be receiving their badges this week. You'll be able to identify the new members by a blue dot in the bottom right corner of their badge. Please reach out to these new members, show them around if they look lost and make them feel welcome!

8 Page 8 New Laser Captain Getting the CAL 20 s ready Congratulations to John Sorfleet who got checked out on the Laser this last Sunday - yes the capsizes after the Opening Day Parade were intentional - all part of the test! Hope to see you out on the water more this summer John! Pinewood Derby success for Cub Scout Troop Please pass on Half Moon Bay's Cub Scout Pack 263's appreciation to the members of the Yacht Club for the use of the facility. The Pinewood Derby was a smashing success for our kids and their parents yesterday The venue that the club provided was fantastic, especially the nice weather you dialed in. The room, BBQ, deck and water front location made the event that much more special. We had 27 kids that raced their Pinewood Derby Cars and probably had 40+ additional family members in attendance throughout the day. It was a memorable event for our kids and I can't tell you how many positive comments I heard about the facility from the parents. I know you garnered some new members and potential Youth Sailing Camp participants as well. There should be an article written in this Wednesday's addition of the Half Moon Bay Review. Below are the results of the race and attached are some photos. Best regard, Chris Courtney Quick re-cap of the winners: Tiger Den: Cody Crandell Wolf Den: Eli Alfaro Bear Den: Ryan Hildebrand Webelos: Sasha Kulda Pack Overall: Sasha Kulda (Webelos now have the spirit stick again) Fastest Car: Sasha Kulda hhtps:// halfmoonbayyachtclub
