The Marblehead to Halifax Ocean Race is here!  (White parking stickers only)
Halifax week has arrived and we are making final preparations for what will be a great event. The membership and visiting Yachtsmen are fortunate for the efforts of Vice Commodore Charlie Garrard and his merry band of volunteers. We look forward to seeing many of you during our “Island Night” and 4th of July festivities.
A reminder to all BYC members --- The tent goes up on Tues. June 30. Therefore, from Tues. June 30 through Sun. July 5, BYC will honor WHITE parking stickers only.
From Jon Reither, General Manager
 
Free up your mooring – Raft with a buddy
We are still very short of moorings for the Halifax racers. If you have a friend, who has a boat, why don’t you raft along-side them for this weekend. Alternatively meet new friends by offering to have a racer raft with you. Either way please call Ken Breen 1 (978) 886-0808 or email him kenbreen@bostonyachtclub.net. If you are worried about the wind, the long range forecast has fairly benign speeds/direction with nothing out of the NE.

Join the MHOR festivities - Fri July 3
We have a full program of entertainment for the racers and we hope that our members will also participate. Please join the racers for “Island Night” on Friday July 3rd ($25 p/p reservations at front desk). We have a great menu, and the band “Better than Nothing” will provide music and entertainment.

Make an auction plan and benefit the MHOR
Plan to enjoy the new silent auction to benefit the Marblehead to Halifax Ocean Race. A silent auction will take place at the Club during Halifax Race Week July 2-4, and will be open to racers, BYC members and the public. There's still time to donate an item of quality and we would greatly appreciate additions to the auction. The list so far includes items donated by Atlantis, Dede Nowland, Marblehead Nauticals, Gosling’s: Bottle of Old Rum signed by Malcom, 7th generation rum maker, sail aboard Valient, Bruins tickets, and a Kern River lined racing jacket (straight from Utah) - just to name a few. Kindly contact Sue Bragdon at sbragdon@comcast.net for more information or if you would like to make a great contribution to this auction!
