COMMODORE’S COMMENTS 

With the winter meeting at Biloxi Yacht Club over, your new officers for 2012 are Immediate Past Commodore John Mathews (PYC), Commodore Pete O’Neal (Buc. YC), Vice Commodore Danny Killeen Jr. (PCYC), Rear Commodore Corky Potts (SYC) and Secretary/Treasurer Janace Batty (Buc. YC).

I want to take this time to thank the Board of Directors for electing us. We are very appreciative of this honor and will work hard as your EXCOM in supporting the GYA.

Biloxi Yacht Club did an excellent job of hosting the winter meeting for the GYA both having meeting facilities well organized, excellent food and service. Our appreciation goes to Commodore Jeffery Ellis, Club Manager Hugh Stallings and Past Commodore Rocky Rhodes Jr. for a very well organized event.

The winter meeting was very active for our Board of Directors.  Nine resolutions and directions were given to the EXCOM and GYA racing Rules Committee to be presented at the Opening Regatta which will be held at the Buccaneer Yacht Club May 5-6, 2012.

A new direction has been has been added to the GYA, as the Board of Directors has passed a resolution for having a new designated GYA club boat by the year 2018. With this direction, the EXCOM will organize an Ad Hoc Committee to establish the parameters for such a boat that will service the GYA well into the future. Can you believe we have been in the Flying Scot well over 43 years!

The EXCOM is here to serve you and we look forward to having input on upcoming issues both from individual members and GYA Clubs.

Sincerely,

Pete O’Neal

GYA Commodore
