ELIYA notification of Spindrift Trophy Race change in date
Sailors of Eastern Long Island,
I just got notice that Orient Yacht Club has changed the date of the "Spindrift Trophy" night race that was scheduled for Saturday, July 16. It is now set for Saturday, July 23, 2005. They found that they had conflicts with other community and club events that necessitated this change to one week later. All other pertinent information regarding the events remain unchanged.
If it is necessary to speak to someone regarding this change, they have let us know that you may reach their race committee chairman, Taz Smith, at the following phone number: (631) 323-1271.

To all ELIYA member yacht clubs with US Sailing membership and a Junior sailing program
As you all know by now, ELIYA is hosting the Area B Eliminations for the Sears, Bemis and Smythe Junior Sailing Championships. To determine who represents ELIYA for the Bemis and Smythe, Devon Yacht Club is hosting our qualifier, thanks to Kevin Fallon. For the Sears, there is no qualifier scheduled.
The Sears is the triple-handed championship to be competed in Lightnings with spinnakers. If you have a team of 3 Junior sailors between 13-18 years old, who can competently handle a Lightning with spinnaker, and are committed to be available July 26-28, please contact Helen Horton at hhbreeze@optonline.net or (631) 779-3236, with their names by Wednesday, July 20th.
If there is more than one ELIYA team wishing to compete, collectively, the association will determine which one team represents ELIYA at the Sears Area B Eliminations at Orient Yacht Club July 26-28.
Thank you,
Helen Horton
