PATROL |
If CYC runs on volunteers, then our racing runs on the patrol committee!
If you have a motor boat, or have experience driving a power boat, or are willing to accompany a boat on patrol,
then we have an opportunity for YOU!
CYC has a tradition of the CYC has a tradition of powerboat patrol which keep our sailors safe while racing, and we thank those who volunteer year after year.
If your child or children race in the CYC races on a regular or semi-regular basis, we need you to please volunteer a few times this summer to serve as the driver of or a passenger on a patrol boat. It doesn’t matter if you have a boat or not, as we have the CYC powerboats for use, and it doesn’t matter if you’re comfortable on a boat or not, as we can teach you. In addition to helping to keep our kids safe, serving on a patrol boat is a great way to see your kids sail up-close.
To assure you, patrolling is straightforward and does not require experience. Quite simply, we need to make sure all the boats that go out for a race return to shore. If you have any questions or concerns about patrolling, please contact Mike Szymanski at any time (cell: 201-320-3270 or e-mail: mfszy1@gmail.com) or Andrew Caggiano (cell: 781-690-4711 or e-mail: andycagg@gmail.com)

Courtesy and Safety on the Golf Course
Eastward Ho! and CYC have a great working relationship, but it depends on CYC members being courteous to and respectful of the golfers. Please wear shirts and shoes when crossing the hill, and do not use your cell phone. It is best to be quiet when golfers are on the 9th green. You may stop and wait, or move quietly by, but try not to distract those focusing on their putts. |
An average golf ball leaves the tee traveling 115 mph or more, and our path to CYC takes us right in front of the first tee. PATROL
