Calling all spectators! LYC hosts the Snipe U.S. Pan-Am Games Trials next Friday-Sunday, April 5-7! We will have a spectator boat all three days for those of you interested in watching. The boat will leave the dock at 10:15 and be back at 4:00. Bring your own hat, sunblock, spray-gear, Dramamine, drinks and food. Limited seating. Sign up no later than Thursday, April 4th, with PC Peter Commette at (954) 610-9346 or pmcommette@aol.com

Warning to those who want to practice on Thursday, April 4th! If you intend to practice on Thursday, April 4th, we strongly recommend you measure on as early as possible and get out practicing in the ocean (south of the jetty) with the favorable tide. Always use the East span of the 17th Street Bridge. Do not try to go out sailing and through the bridge after 3:40 PM, Thursday, because that is when the tide will start coming back in. Without a good paddle and a strong stroke, you'll have a hard time getting through. Conversely, once you are out on Thursday, don't plan on coming back in until after 3:40 PM. For more info on tides, download TideApp. It's free. Look for the tides at Port Everglades 17th Street Bridge. Lauderdale Yacht Club looks forward to hosting you. Peter Commette Regatta Co-Chairman
