Events 
 From the Helm May, 2008 by Judy Hansen Judy@GulfCoastSailingClub.org Hi Sailors, Wasn't the Messmer Cup wonderful? David and I had a blast on Minerva with Will Rosenbaum. We have missed racing! Saturday was a great warm up for an exciting Sunday. The Messmer Cup Regatta got a lot of publicity. If you had a chance to pick up a copy of the Naples Sun Times you'll see that several great photos of our boats made the front cover and the photo spread that accompanied an article in the magazine. I wonder how many other Neapolitans wish they were out there with us on that beautiful weekend! One of GCSC's biggest growing sailing classes this year was Spin B as T-Bone was joined at the regatta by Vee Jay and Shock, formerly Children at Play. The three boats are planning to help grow the Spin B category next year. Starting in October there should be some decent opportunities leaning how to spin, crewing, and providing crew to boats interested in joining what they now call the Naples Spin B Revival Association (NSBRA). We're approaching our summer sailing season and looking for more quiet roads, less crazy Saturdays and Sundays in the bay, tranquil breezes and a calm light green Gulf. Remember that we have our Single/Double handed regatta and start practicing now. Who wants to organize the beach party? We need boats to bring some of our members who don't have their own boat. Who would be willing to invite some guests to come with them out to Keewaydin? Our monthly meeting will go on as usual on Wednesday at 6:30pm behind Harold's Place in the Parrot Room. Sorry for the confusion. We had thought to move it so Key West Rendezvous racing crews wouldn't miss it, but in the end it made sense to keep to our regular meeting time and place. On a sad note: Joe Flanagan recently passed away. He was a friend and supporter of our sailing club. He owned 5th Ave. Coffee Shop. He will be greatly missed.
