Remembering Bill Traill

billOur Friend and sailing colleague Bill Traill died suddenly at home on March 1, 2015. Bill had been a member of the HAMYC for a few years and he became a sailor, able to get around the course and compete.

He will be sorely missed for his humour, optimism and joy for getting out on the pond with his friends.

2015 Annual General Meeting

  We had an excellent AGM which was well-attended considering that a lot of our members are basking in warmer climes.  A number of new initiatives were brought forward which should make for an even better sailing season this year.  Paul will be writing up the minutes but until they are ready here is a peek at some of the highlights:
  • More Formal Race Cancellation Policy  (decision posted to WebPage/Twitter/FaceBook before 0900 on day in question)
  • Formation of Committee for Club Promotion  (promotion of club social aspects / acquisition of new members)
  • Proactive Scheduling of End-of-Season Events  (Separate Awards Banquet and AGM scheduled to occur before departure of snowbirds)
  • Line/Mark Judge  (Appointment of ad-hoc judge from the fleet for regular sailing days. Provision of dedicated judge for Major Club Regattas)
