WYC CLOTHING
What is the point of being a cool sailor at WYC if the only people who know 
this are the other cool people at WYC? Do yourself a favor and pick up some 
fancy WYC branded clothing from our clothing partner Coral Reef. Coral Reef 
has also suggested some additional fancy items to choose from. Jackets, 
fleece, technical wear, lots of cool stuff.

Remember, you can get pretty much anything embroidered at Coral Reef with 
WYC on it along with your boat name and sail number. They also have a 
closeout products page, and 15% of your purchase comes back to WYC programs.

MOORING NOTICES
Hopefully you've seen a mooring notice by now in your e-mail box. A print 
version is following via snail mail. You can pay online and get it done 
right now. If you want to send a check for payment in full you can take a 
2.5% discount. Your $100 crane card is included in your mooring fee.

Sailing might seem expensive, but on a per-use basis it's one of the least 
expensive sports going. Our mooring rates remain a fraction of what you see 
from regular marinas, and that's not including the world class racing, 
wonderful friends, and free beer. Reserve your slip asap this year!


NEW DOCKS
We have a few extra slips this year from the new docks we are currently 
installing. These are new style premium floating docks. Since new sailboat 
racing programs don't just sprout up at a moments notice, we expect some 
power boats in these slips at first. So spread the word to any friends you 
know who might be looking for a nice mooring, even if they drive a stink 
pot.


WINTER SEMINARS
Beth Frampton has a big show lined up for this winter. We're staring with 
THE Dave Perry on January 17th talking about the new rules for 2009. This is 
expected to have such a big crowd it's location has been moved to the 
Ridgedale Library.

After that it's one Thursday per month with Ernie Brody telling lies, Kadi 
O'Daniel with First Aid, Terry Foster with more lies, and Lars Hansen 
telling lies about Match Racing.


LOWISA NO BOAT REGATTA
The No Boat Regatta is a the perfect opportunity to find out what it's all 
about. You'll meet LOWISA sailors, hear their stories, see photos, perhaps 
make some plans, and definitely have fun. If you have participated, please 
come and share your stories.
Date: January 31, 2009
Time: 7:00 pm
Place: Wayzata Yacht Club
P.S. If you have photos, please forward them to Beth Frampton for a 
slideshow.

TROPHY PICKUP
- Unclaimed trophies, photos, and glassware are at the clubhouse. Please 
pick them up ASAP. (door combo is 1-5-2, duh)
- Many glasses seemed to have been given to the wrong boats this year. If 
the sticker on the bottom of the glass has someone else's name, please make 
sure those glasses get to the correct people.


ONLINE SURVEY
Thank you to the several hundred people who filled out our survey. Lot's in 
interesting thoughts and ideas. Nothing shocking but lot's of good ideas for 
our board to run with over the next couple seasons. The one thing that stood 
out was the question of what people liked most about WYC. Over and over 
again people looked past the great racing or the wonderful facilities and 
zeroed in on the great community of sailors and friends. People are what 
matters, keep it up folks!


Have a Great Holiday Season
