The FBYC Cruising Division is planning its calender for the 2006 season. We now call this to everyone's attention because there may be some among you who are not listed in the cruising@fbyc.net directory, are therefore not receiving the division's planning announcements, but would like to do so. If you are in this gruop, please contact Mary Spencer so that you may be added to the division's email directory. Below is a preliminary calender of events for everyone's review and input to George at burkeg@paraccess.com.

At the FBYC Board Meeting tonight, we were all surprised when Sharon Bauer arrived at the conclusion of the meeting, in very close sychronization with Rear Commodore Ric Bauer's announcement near the end of the meeting, under OLD BUSINESS that David Hazlehurst will be 75 years old tomorrow!!!!

We shared a beautiful cake and wished David many Happy more!

Congratulations David, and Best Wishes - June.

2006 PHRF Southern Bay Fleet Splits Remain Unchanged for 2006:  It's official - the PHRF Class splits for the southern Bay (Region 4) remain the same as last year.  PHRF A - up to 115;   PHRF B - 116 to 166;  PHRF C - 167 and higher.   PHRF Non-spinnaker will be sailed allowing two headsails downwind unless the sailing instruction  specifically states differently.  
 
PHRF RENEWALS WILL BE MAILED OUT DURING THE LAST WEEK OF DECEMBER.  Don't wait to renew or apply for your 2006 valid rating certificate.    If you have made changes to the boat, sails, etc. ,  get your paperwork started right away, since the handicappers review all changes before issuing the 2006 valid rating certificate.  Go to the PHRF of the Chesapeake web site at  www.phrfchesbay.com  for details on the application process.  If you are applying for a "first time" rating on your boat, get the application from the web site, gather the required info,  and get started on the process now.  It's easy, but it does take time.
