CHAMPIONS<BR>The best spectating event of the year is this Wednesday August 23rd
at 6:00pm next to Lighthouse Island. The fleet champions of MYC and WYC will
face off in 420's for the greatest championship race on earth. The quality of
the racers is only exceeded by the quality of the cooks who prepare the gourmet
dinner after the event.<BR><BR>Put your motor on your boat and head over to
watch the races with your friends and then have dinner at Lighthouse Island.
This event qualifies for date points, so bring the spouse and kids. And
don't forget your horn to support your club! Race is free, dinner is about
$15 for adults and worth every penny. Menu and details at </FONT><A

face="Times New Roman" size=3>J22 NORTH AMERICANS<BR>Can you hear it? That
rumbling sound in the distance. It's going to get LOUDER. The sound is dozens of
J22 trailers with oversized SUV's driving to WYC from all over the country for
the best regatta of the year.<BR><BR>We're expecting upwards of 70 boats for the
J22 North Americans this year at WYC. This event is going to put our club in a
national spotlight for a week and stretch us to the limit. To ensure this event
runs smoothly, we'll be...<BR>- Closing off the west parking lot for the
week.<BR>- We're looking for homes to host visiting sailors<BR>- We're going to
need boat slips to accommodate 70 wet sailed boats in our 140 boat marina. If
you haven't been contacted already, and you have a location you can move your
boat to for a week, please contact the J22 Fleet to coordinate.<BR>- We need a
small army of people to help with lunches and spectator boats. Great way to earn
a t-shirt.<BR>- It's going to be glorious chaos!<BR>- Details at </FONT><A

face="Times New Roman" size=3>BURTON CUP<BR>Have I made it clear over the years
that this is the best race of the year? Both WYC and MYC boats racing around the
lake with none of that wimpy windward/leeward course business. Think you can
beat an A scow boat for boat? Go knock yourself out. Race starts Saturday August
26th in front of Lighthouse Island. Please watch out for scows starting before
the WYC starts! Corn Roast Dinner at host club MYC's Lighthouse Island on
Saturday evening at 6:00, dinner RSVP info at </FONT><A

size=3>CAPRI DOCK PARTY<BR>The best party of the year is August 27th on C Dock.
I have no idea what the theme is, but I know the food and refreshments and
everything will be great. You all know the drill by now, and please don't fall
off the dock. </FONT><A href="http://www.wyc.org/capri25/"><FONT

face="Times New Roman" size=3>CREW MEMBERSHIPS<BR>The best deal in all of
sports! $70 and you get access to the lake, fancy yachts to race on, free drinks
for the summer, a place to park in Wayzata, your name in the WYC log, and all
the implied benefits bestowed upon WYC Crew Members. If you're a member, you're
the best because you make it all happen. If you're not a member, then you're
probably a new guest to the club. If you're not one of those, then you're a
hanger-on leach. But it's not to late to change your ways for a measly $70.
