2013 Sayers Series Race Results
In wild wind encounters of another kind – those of zero gusting to three knots, and of cantankerous
location and direction – hearty Sayers Series racers battled it out nonetheless over this two-race event. It is ironic and
certainly entertaining that crew posture and intensity in such paltry zephyrs is no less different than in winds of 20 knots... a sign
of true passion, we think!
Congratulations to all who competed, and certainly to those who prevailed!

Summer JAM Series:
Our 2013 JAM Series ended with a bang – as in, winds of 15 to 24 mph – turning some Jammers into
jelly. All in all, this was a terrific JAM season: Nice winds for each race, nice participation and great competition. Thank you for
your participation... We had a blast, and hope you did too. See you next year!

CIYC Women Skipper's Race and Day Race Results:
While weather predictions were spot-on in terms of a sun-drenched weekend, the wind forecast was just a tad off
from reality... creating distinctly polarized and challenging conditions between the days. Saturday saw winds about double the
predictions, which evidently drew from Sunday's allotment – when finding the briefest zephyr took fierce concentration... and a
bit of luck. No matter the conditions, a great turnout of talented racers both days kept the fleets close and competitive. One
prediction that proved true was the terrific Women Skipper's Party Saturday night – Great company, great food, the irrepressible
dance sets of the 'Rockoholics', and the bottomless kegs of beer.
We wish to thank all of you who participated this year, ensuring the success of this event yet again, and certainly our sponsors of the
City Island Brewery beer:
The Barnacle Buster and
Ricca Auto Body.

thanks – to members, guests and, of course, the many sponsors and supporters, who combined to make this event the success it
was...from the Commodore:

Help Rebuild City Island Yacht Club:
City Island Yacht Club has been busy since Hurricane Sandy came ashore with violent winds and tides on October
29th, 2012. As many of our neighbors, CIYC did not escape unscathed. Assessment of damages takes time to process with insurance
companies and other institutions, but our numbers are in. CIYC is reaching out to our members and friends of CIYC for assistance in
rebuilding the dock and club house. A Fundraising effort has been initiated to reach the Club's goals.
