The Lipton Challenge is less than one month away, and while your team is preparing for this event, it is imperative that you add "Confirm Flying Scot registration with FSSA" to your checklist. This is an annual renewal and is likely paid automatically by your club's manager or fleet captain, but please check to make sure your club is current.  You may not be allowed to participate in the Liptons if your Scot is not properly registered.   FSSA Membership Application

COMMODORE’S COMMENTS 

With the start of school around the corner for most kids that can only mean one thing, the 2010 Junior Lipton Challenge. Gulfport Yacht Club hosted the regatta this year and Sam Vasquez, the sailing director for GYC, did an excellent job running a two day seminar for the juniors that included chalk talk, rules seminar, racing with on the water coaching and a pro-am sailing event. The weekend ended with Fairhope Yacht Club being the 2010 Junior Lipton Challenge Champions. The juniors did an excellent job and won the regatta with 7 points.  Congratulations to the entire Fairhope Yacht Club junior team and next year Fairhope Yacht Club will host the Junior Lipton Challenge.

Congratulations to the lady sailors at Buccaneer Yacht Club for winning the 2010 Knost All Female Championship at Pass Christian Yacht Club. Pass Christian did and awesome job hosting the regatta.

Make sure you check the GYA schedule for all the upcoming regattas. With that being said, make sure your yacht club’s team captain files all the appropriate paperwork if your yacht club intends to sail in the Lipton Cup Challenge. The deadline is quickly approaching.

With the oil in the Gulf of Mexico and several harbors and bayous are closed Pensacola Yacht Club has stepped up to help out Point Yacht Club. To keep with the tradition of the Alabama/Florida women’s regatta trilogy Pensacola Yacht has graciously offered Point Yacht Club the Pensacola Yacht Club facilities to host the Fast Women’s Regatta on August 21, 2010.               

It is important that if your yacht club has an event on the GYA Schedule to please keep the GYA Executive Committee, David Bolyard Commodore westwindsails@bellsouth.net, John Matthews Vice Commodore johnmatthews@cox.net, Pete O’Neal  poneal@asdd.com, Jane Eshleman Secretary skygoddess51@bellsouth.net, in the loop as to whether or not your regatta has been postponed rescheduled or moved to another location.
