the kids - and for those adults who want a new look for the
4th!!
Steel Rhythm will be performing from 4- 8. What better way to
feel a little holiday spirit than steel drum music and a
Marbleheader at the Gazebo! The buffet starts at 6:00 PM
followed by the best fireworks on the coast! Cost of the 4th of
July Buffet is $24.00 for adults and $12.00 for children under

Class
40 Fleet finishes their Marblehead to Halifax Race
Tuesday, June 10 2008
The seven boat fleet of the
Class 40 offshore
sailboats finished the first North American race for this
exciting new boat. They sailed in steady winds as a close group
across the Gulf of Maine and turned the corner at Brazil Rock in
a bunch. Along the coast of Nova Scotia variable conditions
separated the fleet somewhat, but the spread of finish times of
less than seven hours was much tighter than in usual in the
Marblehead to Halifax.
Pictures...
The winner was Cheeky Too - Novedia,
skippered by Tanguy De Lamotte, second place was Custo Pol with
Halvard Mabire, and third 40 Degrees with Miranda Merron. The
awards ceremony at the Royal Nova Scotia Yacht Squadron featured
guest speaker Sir Robin Knox-Johnson, who sailed and won the
first solo nonstop circumnavigation in 1969.
Most of the fleet had previously completed
the single handed Artemis Transat and were next moving to Quebec
City for the start of the Quebec to Saint Malo transatlantic
race back to Europe. |

Reflections of a Race
Committee Member - PC Mike Mentuck
I am proud to be a BYC Race Committee Member, acting as a utility
player who gets called upon to help out every once in a while. The ELIZABETH M
sets up the finish line for the Beringer Bowl overnight race every year and
waits for the first boats to hail as they reach the turning mark near the finish
line. Then all hell breaks loose. Geoff Smith scrambles to the flying bridge to
shine his 10 million candle power spotlight on the sail numbers, Bill Cuzner
marks the GPS time, and Judy Cuzner records the sail number and time of each
finishing boat. I man the radio and acknowledge each boat. Remember that all of
this takes place between 1:00 AM and 5:00 AM and it is as black as the inside of
your hat out there. The reward for spending a night at sea is a great cookout
with a band, speeches, prize giving ceremony, and lots of good spirited fun.
