Our spring racing series at Chatfield Reservoir is right around the corner.  The racing series starts on Wednesday April 21st.

Our annual Skippers Meeting is next Sunday April 17th at Noon at the Riverside picnic area which is just west of the marina parking lot.  Note that we call this a “skippers meeting” but this is also for anyone interested in sailing or looking to crew on one of the sailboats.

There will be complementary coffee and donuts available and a limited number of Santiago’s breakfast burritos for a small charge.

Note that this meeting will be in person.  Social distancing and masking rules apply.  If you do not feel comfortable attending in person you may attend via a Zoom call link.  If you have not received this Zoom link via previous email, email commodore@csyc.org for the link.

Following the meeting there will be an informal swap meet so bring all of that sailing gear that you no longer need and help find a good home for it.
