will be at 6:30pm on Saturday night and will be hosted by the
Snipe Fleet. Cost is $10 for adults and $5 for children under 10.
The menu is BBQ chicken, green beans, roasted potatoes, salad,

There will be a DJ for entertainment after the dinner. Trophy presentation

| ISC to host Y-Flyer Nationals |
|
The American Y-Flyer Yacht Racing Association will hold their 2003
Championship Regatta at Geist Reservoir on June 23-27 at the
Indianapolis Sailing Club. Over 40 sailboats by sailors from Kansas,
Arkansas, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky, North Carolina, South
Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee, Virginia, Texas, and Massachusetts are
expected to travel to Indianapolis for a week of sailing and
camaraderie. Junior sailors, not yet 19, will compete in four races on
Monday and Tuesday. Senior sailors will compete in six races on
Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday.
Prior to the sailing competition, all sailboats will be weighed and
all sails will be measured to ensure that no skipper has an advantage
over others. The racing will be a statement of skill, not a
demonstration of equipment. The National Regatta will end with
the awards banquet Friday evening at the Castleton Omni hotel.
Many of the travelers will be camping all week at the Indianapolis
Sailing Club. Others will stay at area motels.
Further information is available on the Y-Flyer Class
website or by calling Paul and
Kay White, the Regatta Chairman, at (XXX) XXX-XXXX.

the ISC website to a new webserver. This new webserver has been
unreliable rendering the ISC website inaccessible for short
periods of time. If the website is inaccessible, please try again
in 10-15 minutes.
Please notify the webmaster

| Website Redesign |
|
Welcome to the redesigned ISC website! The website has been completely redesigned
to enhance navigation, content, appearance and ease of maintenance. The new design
is only a starting point in an ongoing effort to
present a better experience to visitors of the ISC website. I will
be updating the website sporadically to implement additional
features, some of which will be noticeable when you visit the site
and others which will be "behind the scenes" improvements.
Please contact the webmaster with any suggestions
for improving the site and/or problems you may encounter.
