August 24, 2011 RIYCREGATTA CANCELLATION & PARTY RESCHEDULE
Owing to the best information we have at this point regarding the track of Hurricane Irene, the Ram Island Yacht Club Race Committee has deemed it prudent to cancel its 66th Invitational Regatta. Instead of a post-race party, all skippers, crews and RIYC members are invited to a gathering on Saturday afternoon, August 27, from 1:00 to 4:00 PM. Come join us for light food and open bar, courtesy of RIYC.
Mount Gay regatta hats will be available at the Saturday gathering for those participants who have forwarded their entrance fee. Event merchandise will also be available for sale.
Those entrants who do not wish to participate in the party and would like to be reimbursed can pick up their entrance check at the Clubhouse on Saturday between 1:00 and 4:00 PM or notify Wendy Schnur – wendy.schnur@att.net.
Thank you for your support of the Ram Island Regatta. We regret that we had to make this difficult decision, but we look forward to a great event in 2012.
