| Sunday 8/3/09 - A Perfect 10 - Posted on Tuesday, August 05, 2008 It doesnt get any better...Northerly 10 - 15, shifts, sunshine, sailboats and great RC work. The Cruising Class and the Atlantic Fleet shared the course and sometimes the mighty Atlantics just had to move over. Bernie Dorogusker, the PRO, brought a crack crew consisting of Wednesday night stalwarts Lea Bemus, Bob Curtis, and Ray Wolfe as well as Star sailors Carrol McCallum and Bill Swiggart.
On the short course the V15s had Race and Regatta Chariman Brian Joyce runnng races and the Flying Scots were out as well.
It was all smiles as racers returned to the club for the keg draining.

| 2008 Cedar Point Special Olympics Invitational - Posted on Friday, July 18, 2008
There are those of us who
for are special or become special. Thanks to Jay for this report and all the CPYC volunteers for their efforts. You all make us proud of who we are - the editor.
 On Saturday July 12, CPYC hosted the 9th running of the Special Olympics Invitational Regatta. This event, considered a “unified sport”, pairs athletes with various developmental disabilities with coaches.
Anyone hoping for less breeze than last year’s windy event got a little too much (or too little) of what they hoped for! Despite generally light air, 6 races were completed for V15s and 5 for Flying Scots on our typical short course format in about 4-8 kts of breeze. A total of about 25 athletes and 20 coaches were joined by another dozen or so on and off the water volunteers. After several hours of spirited racing, all adjourned to the upper deck where a light lunch and awards were enjoyed by all.
 This event wouldn’t be possible without the enormous effort put forth by volunteers from Special Olympics of Connecticut (SOCT) and CPYC. Over 15 Vanguards were pledged for the event and 8 Flying Scots. Additionally, numerous volunteers assisted with registration, food, set-up, rigging, de-rigging and of course sailing.
While this event does introduce sailing to many who wouldn’t ordinarily be exposed to it, on a larger level, the event teaches camaraderie, tolerance and acceptance. On all accounts, it was a good day for CPYC!

| CPYC Traditions from a Proud Past - Posted on Friday, July 11, 2008There was a time in a place called Cedar Point when hardy souls would do just about anything for the challenge and thrill of a race and the beauty of wind, sea and waves. Before hand held radios, before the computer assisted weather forecasting, before automatic defibrillators and before spindly rigs were made of metal and composite. Thanks to Vice Commodore Nelson Stephenson for this peek into the past.

| Perfect Racing Conditions for the final day 3 of the OneDesign Regatta - Posted on Friday, June 06, 2008 Racers were greeted on the racecourse each day by PRO Paul Iffland and Eric Passero. These men and their support staff made good things happen in trying conditions throughout the first 2 days and closed with a terrific day 3 that left racers smiling at the end of the regatta.
Day 1 - The M 30 Class kicked
off the OneDesign Regatta into high gear on Friday 6/7/08. Paul Iffland and his RC
ream popped off 4 square w/l 4 races in light air. Mark roundings were
close with some having the entire fleet within a 2 minutes spread.
Multiple lead changes occurred on most legs of the day. At days end,
competitors enjoyed a CPYC style home cooked southern meal of barbeque
pork, chicken and salmon prepared by Vice Commdore Nelson Stephenson.
In addition, competitors enjoyed the Kattack replay of their races,
tracked by individual transponders on each boat. Allen Clark, of
photoboat had a slide show going of the days close action as well.
Day 2 was tough for racers with light air that challenged all. The RC served up 3 w/l 4 races for the M 30 and Level 72 classes. The J105 and J30 classes were given 2 races. At the conclusion of racing there was a lobster dinner and party featuring CPYCs own house band.
Day 3 was perfect sailing weather; sunny and 7 - 12 knots. The racers were anxious to get going and were on the course going up and down the wind prior to the arrival of the Race Committee. Racing commenced on schedule with the first warning signal at 1100 am.  Four races for the M 30s and three races in each of the other classes were held. The racing was tight and the day turned some fortunes around for the the leaders. Everything was wrapped up on the water around 3 PM and all boats were tied up when a thunderstorm hit as the awards were being given out.
For the final regatta results, click here.
The events official photographer was Allan Clark of Photoboat. He and Daniela shot all weekend, ran slide shows and supplied the beautiful awards that were given to the winners. To view and or purchase the event photos, click here.

| Race and Regatta's call to Members - Posted on Wednesday, June 04, 2008CPYC
has a long-established tradition of excellence in race management. This
did not happen by accident. It is the direct result of the involvement
of our entire membership. Year in and year out, each member has been
expected to serve on at least one race committee, in order to develop
his or her race management expertise, as well as to provide the top
notch racing that each of us has come to expect. Initial
race committee assignments are established by Race and Regatta. Our
best efforts do not result in a schedule that accommodates everyone.

| Vice Commodores Cup - Posted on Tuesday, May 27, 2008 Three perfect days of Sailing at CPYC. Based on the crowd present at the Vice Commodores Cup Barbeque, the weekend was a resounding success. It ended with some glasses for the winners, a nice sunset, fine weather and good family fun. The statistics will come later but to one observer the food lines seemed as long as they ever were and the beer just kept flowing.
There was a a crop of toddlers racing around in sacks and parents wondering how soon it would be for them to be in Optis.
For complete results, check out the fleets' library & race result pages.
