Participating were Marc and Emmalyn Preston, Jim and Fay Agar, Don and Marjie Stark, and John Purifoy. Thanks to Andrea Heekin for loaning the use of two of the kayaks. At the right below, Don and Marjie Stark finish the assembly of their folding 2 – person kayak. BYC will sponsor the Rain Gutter Regatta from Noon until 2 PM. We are expanding this to include a pond and small boats to sail. To see a sample of what this pond and boats may look like, see the Seaworthy Small Ships Website at http:// seaworthysmallships.com/ To do all this, we need some assistance both in setting up the rain gutters for the regatta and the pond for the boats. The children will need help putting the boats together. Can you Help? Please contact Don Stark (724263-4062) if you can assist. This activity will be a lot of fun for all. 6. 3. Six boats got VSCs after the picnic. Did you get your boat checked? Contact Don Stark. This is a public seminar covering every aspect of trailering. USPS/PSPS membership is not required.
