Pat Lawless Sailing Supper & Revival of Cruising Group
Dear Fellow Members,
The club is blessed with quite a few members who derive as much pleasure from sailing their yacht from one port to another as they might do from purely racing them. There are a few who undertake quite extended cruising, quietly, without fanfare, relying purely on their own resources.
There was in the past a âCruising Groupâ within the club which, amongst other things, used to arrange National Yacht Club rallies. I remember these as a lot of fun.
The Commodore has asked me to âtest the watersâ as it were, to see if there is sufficient interest within the club to revive this group, with the aim of sharing ideas, daring tales of cruises, and perhaps even arranging another NYC cruising rally.
