Clarke was kind enough to let me take his
new boat for a test drive. For a guy who only knows
about Nites, this was a real thrill. Talk about "comfort
class"! The cockpit is roomy, even with my long legs, it
rides like a Rolls, and of course it is rigged and tuned
perfectly. - Hugh

This is the survival suit
referenced on the "Safety" page. Now that I have had it for
a year, I can report that it is easy to wear, not bulky, and
exceedingly wind proof. In early January I wore the jacket
skiing when the high for the day was -2 degrees with a 10
knot wind. It was warm as could be and plenty flexible. Does
it really float? Pay my way to Jamaica and I'll give it a
try!

In case you missed it, here is what the CIYC does in summer,
on salt water!

sailing of the year on February 21st.
Being retired and able to sail mid-week certainly has its
benefits.

The iceboating season is
finally here, and your officers have been hard at work on ramp
accessibility, safety concerns, incorporation status, liability
insurance, membership, social and educational events, and our
newsletter. Please support these efforts, even when you don't plan
on sailing - - show up, introduce yourself, help move gear on/off
the ice, and tell us how we can improve.
CIYC has a long and proud
history, and we are but a small part of a long line of sailors who
have enjoyed this wonderful sport. If we give a little more, we can
celebrate a great season.
In
February we will present a public iceboating program at White
Memorial. Please let me know if you are willing to help.
"We make a living by what
we take. We make a life by what we give" - Winston Churchill
