The weather forecast for the event day of June 14 was storms so event organizer Dave Shkor made the call to cancel. Dave made the correct call as thunder storms rolled in that afternoon. Vice Commodore Mary Ryan organized a very successful Father s Day pancake brunch on June 17. A large turnout of members and guests enjoyed the food and fellowship. Contributions from those attending were added to the club coffers. Many thanks to Mary, Erin, Babs, Candi, Linda, Lynne, Mike, Leslie and others who helped make the event fun for all. We were pleased to add several new members in June. They were: Carol Jean Hillenbrand, a retired teacher who now lives in the Palmetto Bay area. She has spent many happy days involved in boating and water sports on the Ohio River, and now looks forward to enjoying the Low Country waters. John and Julie Traylor reside in the Bermuda Point area. John is a retired engineer. John and Julie own a 23 foot Sea Hunt, Salt Time Rob and Gayle Upson reside in Bluffton. Rob is an engineer. He and Gayle cruise a 27 foot Regal. Ken and Catharine Cotogno live in Hampton Lakes. They were members of the Keyport Yacht Club in New Jersey. Ken holds a 50 ton USCG Masters license.

Flying Scots YCHHI Flying Scot Racing 2018 Notice of Race March 24 March 25 April 28, 29 May 12, 13 May 26, 27 June 9, 10 Spring Schedule Boat clean up/prep day First race This is the DeSole Cup at Windmill Harbor Make up days as needed Summer Break The fleet has discussed racing some during the summer if there is enough interest. These would be one off competitions and not a part of the Gibbs Trophy series Fall Schedule September 24, 25 October 6, 7 This is the SCYC Ocean Challenge weekend. October 13, 14 This is the YCHHI Calibogue Cup and HTC weekend November 10, 11 December 1, 2 Make up days as needed The first warning signal is scheduled for 11:00 each race day The race area will be in the Calibogue Sound off Brahms Point or in Broad Creek. Race times are subject to change with warmer weather, the onset of the summer, and the prevailing sea breeze pattern. Any changes to the schedule and/or race times for the upcoming weekend will be sent to the fleet via email and posted at the YCHHI by Friday at 17:00 Fleet race rules (SIs) and scoring methodology can be found in the YCHHI directory End Items of note 1. Wexford has again agreed to host our fleet for dockage between Saturday and Sunday race days and will keep the YCHHI Scots at their docks all spring and summer. YCHHI members will be able to use the boats but will need to coordinate with Mark Dryden the Wexford harbormaster for access. Mark s phone is 843-422-7966 2. We are asked to take just one car per boat into Wexford on race days. My suggestion is to organize crew and gear at YCHHI before going to Wexford and to car pool. 3. Mark D is working on getting us privileges to have lunch and/or drinks at the Wexford clubhouse on race days. 4. REMEMBER THAT THE WEXFORD HOMEOWNERS ARE OUR HOSTS AND MARK HAS BEEN GRACIOUS IN CHAMPIONING OUR FLEET SITUATION WITH THEM. PLEASE BE COURTIOUS GUESTS! It will only take one pushy fleet member to get our privileges revoked. Submitted by Fleet Captain Jim Vaughn 2-27-18
