US Sailing, the governing body of sailboat racing in the U.S., announced that the EYC, Ephraim Yacht Club, has won the National One-Design Regatta Award for hosting the 2009 Flying Scot North American Championships. This is like winning a Gold Medal in the Olympics!
The National One-Design Regatta Award is awarded annually to recognize excellence in development, promotion, and management by organizers and sponsors of the year’s outstanding single-class or multi-class regional regatta.
The EYC will receive the award at US Sailing’s annual One-Design Symposium later this year.
Kudos, again, to all the members and staff of the EYC who helped run the NAC, and thanks again to our sponsors. Each of you is entitled to be very proud.

Last week’s Flying Scot North American Championship regatta was a terrific success. Competitors, race officials, partygoers and Flying Scot Sailing Association officials were unanimous in their praise of the organization, teamwork and hospitality displayed by EYC members, volunteers and staff and by residents of the Village of Ephraim.
We were blessed with five days of good sailing weather in six days of racing and during each of the four parties.
EYC’s juniors particularly distinguished themselves. Woody Heidler with crew Murphy Zingsheim and Forest Gmitro were third overall in the Junior NAC, qualified for the Championship fleet, and even led one Championship race at the windward mark. A picture of Woody, Murphy and Forest is currently featured on the FSSA homepage at http://www.fssa.com Four other EYC juniors competed in the Junior NAC. Christian Pillat with crew Julian Slagter also qualified for the Championship fleet. EYC instructor Alison Chase with crew Liz Gheorghita and Margaret Gheorghita were second in the Women’s NAC, including winning the first race. For more race results see http://www.eyc.org/fsnac .
Many thanks to all EYC members who volunteered their time and energy to make the NAC a success. Watch the next issue of the Eagle’s Cry for more on the NAC.
