April 24:  This week each GYA General Member Yacht Club will receive a questionnaire from the GYA Ad Hoc Committee. The Ad Hoc Committee is commissioned to interview all GYA member clubs to obtain input as to the sense of the overall need of each member club as it relates to the future of Capdevielle competition. We are sending a questionnaire to each club’s Commodore, GYA Coordinator, One Design Rep. and Junior Chair and would ask that they each talk to members of their clubs and submit ONE questionnaire back to the Ad Hoc Committee. Please have the club Commodore sign the bottom and return it to the address on the bottom of the questionnaire preferably by May 3, 2012, or bring it to the GYA Annual Meeting May 5, 2012 at Buccaneer Yacht Club. Please have all questionnaires returned by May 31, 2012.

If you would like to know whom to contact at your Yacht Club about the questionnaire refer to your Yacht Club listing in the 2012 GYA Directory.

 

Mobile Yacht Club is now accepting applications for Head and Assistant Sailing Instructors for the Summer 2012 classes.  Interested persons should submit a resume to manager@mobileyachtclub.org

COMMODORE’S COMMENTS 

 

It’s time for the GYA Opening Regatta and I want to take this opportunity to extend an invitation to all the GYA membership to attend the Opening at Buccaneer Yacht Club May 5 & 6, 2012. Buccaneer Yacht Club is planning a great event.

 

Remember, Buccaneer Yacht Club is hosting the Spring Regatta in two weeks, May 19 & 20, 2012. This is an excellent opportunity to store your Flying Scott, save on traveling cost and be ahead of the game for the Spring Regatta.

 

The Winter meeting became a work horse event with the Board of Directors setting up several changes to the Bylaws and tasking the EXCOM to begin the process for looking at a new GYA Capdevielle boat.

 

The Board of Directors meeting at the Opening will be a great time to catch up on what is happening, renew old and new friendships, and enjoy sailing. I will be giving you an update along with other items since the Winter meeting.

 

Please remember, 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
