Dear Sailors
I hope that you have all registered for the Okanagan Race week by now and we look forward to a great week of racing. If you haven't registered yet please do so as soon as possible. Follow the links at the KYC website.
The construction delays at KYC have presented us with some last minute challenges. We had planned a grand opening at our new clubhouse with a great meal package and live music but the new clubhouse will not be ready and our old clubhouse will almost certainly be demolished for the Commodores Cup. This has created huge challenges for our kitchen. We have also cancelled the band because of space and power issues. The CC was also planned in combination with a Power Fleet invasion for the same weekend.
We are determined to make the Commodores Cup a great event as part of the overall Okanagan Race week (check out the website for Okanagan Race Week 2014 for details).
Here is an update of what you can expect at the CC:
A weekend of great racing!
We cannot offer a meal package as before and you will have to arrange your own breakfasts or lunch (there is a Subway just a block away) for all days as well as dinner Friday night but there will be a free Rum tasting sponsored by Panama Red Rum from 5 to 7 pm
Saturday at the skippers meeting we will hand out gifts donated by Remax (either a knife or Stainless Steel water bottle) for every registrant of the CC. Skippers will pick these gifts up for their crews.
After racing Saturday we will have a DJ on the dock and a combined party with the Power Fleet. Theme will be construction. A construction hat or vest for example. Please BYOB and some appies. We appreciate this may be a challenge for the Sailors especially the out of town people. Bring a bag of chips or whatever you can.
Afterwards we will have a BBQ on the dock. The cost will be $15 per person and tickets can be purchased Friday night at the Rum tasting. You will receive a wrist band for identification.
When you register we will ask for your boat length to help us plan. Please do so asap to help with planning. You will also need a certificate of insurance. For out of town guests you will also receive a keycard ( refundable deposit of $20). Please prepay and arrange with the KYC office and we can have these ready when you arrive. If you have been told by anyone at the KYC office that there are no visitor slips please ignore this. There will be moorage available for all Sailors.
Please help us update our email list by adding your name and anyone else that may be interested to the KYC website here: https://docs.google.com/a/kycevents.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=cDVscnI0MTVDUWFZSWVGSmdWYW5tUWc6MA..#gid=0
