This past weekend, the CYC board, with significant input from the membership and the community at large, reviewed and revised the club's position on "restarting" our regular racing programs. We are grateful for the time and thought everyone put into this effort. We all love sailing and are looking forward to resuming the sport that, for many of us, is a vital part of our daily lives. Unfortunately, the realities of society at large limit our ability to resume regular activity, given the guidance we have received from Government and Health Officials. Given these circumstances, the Board of CYC has made the following decisions.
- Single-handed casual competition events will continue to be supported out of Shilshole on Thursdays.
- Upon the announcement of Phase 2, we will initiate as soon as we can Double-handed, and potentially "family" crewed racing on the Lake and Sound. (Details to follow)
- CYC Racing as we have traditionally known it will not formally resume until Phase III.
Also, please note is that if situations change on short notice, the club will respond accordingly. As in our personal and business lives, flexibility and adoption of "new normal" is a vital part of moving forward. Extending that patience, understanding, and the usual CYC sensibility of community to this resumption roadmap is the essential component of our plan.
Above all, we urge all members of CYC, your families, and the sailing community we are part of, to stay healthy, diligent, and safe.
Thank you,
CYC Board of Directors
