New Youngstown Regatta?

YYC

By Don Finkle, YYC

We thank John Morris and our friends over at Canadian Yachting magazine who wrote a most complimentary article on the Youngstown Level Regatta in their October issue.  We rated the inside back page no less.  It is still somewhat hard for us to believe that after 40 years the Level is no more, but we have plans underway for the next regatta to take its place on the same weekend, July 26-27, 2014.  We apologize for not being able to formally announce the details yet because we know many of you want to make plans and are anxious to know if your boat will be among the invited classes.   Youngstown Yacht Club is both small in membership but very active in sailing, which means those of us who do the work of organizing are also off sailing a lot.  Now that our 2013 campaigns are behind us we can sit down, wrap up the details and go public so you can all plan your own 2014 schedule.  So stay tuned.

Tahiti—Updates from Paradise

By Zuzana Prochaska

Lounging on the flybridge of our Sunsail 454, I had time to think about this dichotomy as I toasted the nighttime skies of Bora Bora and specifically the Southern Cross, a constellation that never fails to hypnotize. As the Crosby, Stills & Nash (1982) tune reminds us:

…you understand now why you came this way.
