This is reflected on the Official Notice Board, together with the appropriate flags on the port club hoist. Said flags are "L", lima, under which is numeral pennant #1, first amendment, then the Yellow flag for your class flag. I hope this message helps.

John Morran <jmorran@texasrealtycapital.com> sent this message to Sandy Morash and she forwareded CCF: I am visiting from Texas - our kids are sailing in the 420 NAs at SMSC. I wanted to check to see if you know of any Bluenose racers that might need a crew for this weeks races. I will be in the area through Monday, 7/22. I have years of experience racing keelboats - J24, J22, J80, some Shields and IODs, too. If weight is a consideration, I am approx. 185 lbs. I would love a chance to try the Bluenose. Let me know if you have any leads. Thank you.  John Morran, Texas Realty Capital, P- 512-450-6833, C- 512-917-1200

Anyone need a boat for CCF series and Race Week?
WestwindI received this email from  Mike Kelly today.
Gentlemen...It appears I have more toys than friends and should consider sharing. Anyone have any  thoughts as to what I could do with Westwind during Classic regatta/CRW this year. Are there people out there who would appreciate joining our group for these events? Thoughts?
Mike

My Chester Yacht Club Winter Newsletter, dated January 2013, has just arrived, so you must have yours too. Race Week is August 14th to 17th.  A$50.00 fee will be added to all dues payments received after May 31, 2013. The mooring fee deadline is the same. Don't forget this as there is a waiting list for moorings. The Club would like you to submit your email address to cycmanager@chesteryachtclub.ca.

More rumor! The requirement has been watered down, and providing personal information is now voluntary. The final implementation may be as much as five years out. I can't help but wonder which club or clubs balked.

It is rumored that Nova Scotia Health and Wellness will require more information from Provincial Sport Organizations concerning  their participants. Information such as date of birth, gender, postal code, home club, and more will be required. This information must be submitted to NSYA prior to Oct 31, 2013. I don't think CCF is a formal enough  organization to be required to provide this information but I am sure CYC is. I wonder whether "Big Brother" has gone a little too far? Send your comments to info@chesterclassics.com or john.wurts1936@yahoo.com Remember that your email and phone number (if you provided them) are password-protected on our web page!

We have added a new member to the CCF web page design team. Thomas Nielsen of Horsens, Denmark has agreed to help out with web design beyond my competence. He has implemented a more robust security system, which will help prevent hackers from getting into our private information. His changes will appear on the Web Page soon. Thomas sailed on Virginia as crew in 2011 and 2012. Hopefully he will sail with us again in 2013. He is completing a degree in Information Technology this year and may continue on to advanced IT studies after graduation.

We received an email forwarded by Topher Wurts from Nicola Boyd that  Lee Sweet had lost his fight with cancer. According to his wishes there will be no funeral service or obituary, but there will be a celebration of his life  at the farm in Virginia and in Chester. Lee's contribution to the Seneca syndicate and to the Chester Classic Fleet was impressive. We will miss him greatly.
01/03/2013 Paul Bourque has agreed to provide his big blue boat, Seafarer, to act as Committee Boat for the Classic Fleet again this year!
01/02/2013
In an email to Topher, John Curry announced that Race Week 2013 will take place from Wed. Aug. 14 to Sat. Aug 17. He plans to add two distance classes to the Delta fleet. (CCF races in the Delta fleet)  The racing will be over 15 to 18 mile round-the-buoys courses, some of which will be within sight of shore.

Happy New Year! May 2013 be as productive for the CCF as 2012
