June 2002 Papoose Article

Lake Mohawk Yacht Club racing officially began on Sunday, May 5th and our first regatta, the Gabor Cup, was scheduled for May 26th. The results of the regatta were unavailable when this article went to press so they will be reported in the July Papoose.

Our next regatta will be the Marine Base Regatta scheduled for July 7th. This is a handicapped event open to all LMCC members with a sailboat of any kind. You need not be a member of the Yacht Club to participate. If you have never raced your sailboat and want to give it a try, come down and join us. Registration will be at 12:00 PM followed by a Skippers Meeting and the first gun at 1:00 PM.

We are planning our Annual Family Picnic which will coincide with the LMCC’s Independence Day celebration. This is always a well attended event to which we welcome our colleagues from the Lake Mohawk Power Boat Club.

Race Official assignments are posted on the bulletin board outside of the buoy room and on our website. Please be present on your assigned date or arrange to swap with another member if you are not available on your assigned date. The assignments for the month of June are as follows:
