Due to unavoidable scheduling conflicts that just arose, the annual kickoff meeting has been moved two days and will be held on Thursday May 11th in the CPYC Ballroom starting at 7pm.

Our apologies for any inconvenience this may cause.

Don’t forget to renew your certificates using the information provided below.

The meeting agenda includes several important topics for the 2017 racing season including:

• Changes to the MassBay regatta schedules;
• BostonPHRF scoring systems; and
• Regatta registration with Regatta Management Solutions.

We will also discuss CPYC's Wednesday night series including RC duties and of course, the RUMBLES!

All skippers, crew, crew looking for boats, skippers thinking about racing and looking for crew and RC volunteers are encouraged to attend this important meeting.

I look forward to seeing all at the meeting and on the water and please pass along the invitation to new sailors, new racers and crew who may not be on the email list.
