August 16, 17, 18 Picton Jazz Cruise Weekend

For information contact John Kitney, kitneyj@kingston.net

Plans are in the works for the annual cruise weekend in Picton, August 16 -18. For those that are interested we have pre-booked some tickets for the Saturday night show at the Regent Theatre (“The Canadian Songbook”). For details of this years’ Jazz Festival program visit http://www.pecjazz.org

You don’t have to be a jazz enthusiast to enjoy the Picton weekend sail and related activities. This KYC Cruisers’ event has been running since 2008 and participation peaked about two years ago with 40 club members and friends. For those that can make it to the Picton Harbour on Friday we will arrange a restaurant outing together. For Saturday evening (after our “boaters and friends happy hour”) we plan to have a catered group meal (about $25 per person), after which ticket holders can head over to the Regent for the show. The town is pretty, the sailing is fun, the company is superb - and the Saturday night show this year should have wide audience appeal. 


Safety Officer Course

~June 1-2~
This Safety Officer Training Program was developed to enhance the experience of competitors at regattas.

The course will be co-sponsored by Ontario Sailing, CORK / Sail Kingston and Kingston Yacht Club. It will be conducted over two days and result in certification.
The Certificate will be recognized and provided by Ontario Sailing.

KYC New Harbour
On May 15th the membership approved the motion proposed by the Board of Directors and the Strategic Planning Committee to move ahead with the new Harbour Project.
Thank you to everyone who attended the meeting and participated.
The club has signed the water lot lease and this has also been signed by the Department of Transport signalling the next phase of this project
The engineering firm has been hired for the initial steps of the harbour design and analysis
They will be at the club in the next week doing soundings to map the harbour depths and determine an anchoring model and near shore conditions
The New Harbour section of the website will be updated as we move forward, and we plan to create a Notice Board in the clubhouse to keep Members involved.
We will also schedule several Town Hall meetings once the design work has progressed, so the members can be properly briefed on the project.
The New Harbour website can be found here:
www.kingstonyachtclub.ca/newharbour/
Any questions related to the project should be directed to:harbourquestions@kingstonyachtclub.ca


Shark Sails Needed

The Club Sharks are in need of some upgraded sails! If you have a set of sails that are collecting dust in your garage, are in good condition, not too stretched out, and you would be willing to donate them, please get in touch. Contact: chris.walmsley@kingstonyachtclub.ca
