Messing About In Sailboats

Vote For Bruce

US Sailing and Old Pulteney Single Malt Scotch Whisky announced its six finalists for the Old Pulteney Maritime Heroes Award. The award recognizes individuals who have made outstanding contributions to their sailing community. A public vote is now being held at www.maritimeheroes.com and is open until December 16, 2012. One winner will be honored at a gala event on January 23rd during US Sailing’s National Symposium in Clearwater Beach, Florida.

I stronlgy suggest you vote for Bruce Bertucci. Bruce created the Perth Amboy High School Sailing Team and implemented the summer program which is open to all aspiring sailors. It makes a huge difference for these kids.

Bruce in his own way is saving sailing.

Full disclosure, Bruce is good friend and crew-mate.

RYC Boatyard After The Storm - We Will Rebuild

We are running a watch system at RYC to keep looters away. I was there from 1600-2000 yesterday and took these up close in the yard. It's staggering seeing what Sandy did to our club. From what we hear, we were lucky compared to Richmond County YC in Great Kills and Keyport Yacht Club.

It will be tough but we will recover.
