Come spend an evening with Dave Coughlin, Vice President of the New York UK Sailmakers loft on City Island.  Dave will be conducting a RRS seminar so we can all become more familiar with what the rules really are (as opposed to what we think they are).  Dave’s experience includes a stint as Customer Service Manager and Yacht Broker at McMichael’s in Mamaroneck, as well as serving as Director of Waterfront Activities and Head Varsity & Offshore Sailing Coach at the SUNY Maritime College from 1990 through 2000. Dave earned a Bachelor of Science and Master of Science in Marine Transportation from SUNY Maritime and an Executive Masters Degree from Columbia University in Computer Technology & Applications.

The UK Rules Seminar is simply the best in the business.  The accompanying visuals are outstanding and the whole program is highly stimulating.  Trust me, this is not a lecture, but a workshop done very professionally.  UK's 2015 Spring Rules Seminar is has been booked by a number of big-time east coast yacht clubs already.  Join us at Nyack Boat Club for an evening of enlightenment and forget about the winter.

This past Saturday, June 15, was the annual Women’s Challenge Cup.  The regatta was hosted at Minisceongo Yacht Club.  This year the racing was split into two divisions: Spinnaker and Non-Spinnaker.

The 2013 Kingston Sailing Club Maritime Cup Regatta signaled the start of the HRYRA regatta season June 1 & 2 with sweltering heat and big breezes both days.

Ginger Weismantel has some excellent pictures from the 2012 Sutherland Regatta.
