Holiday Cruise
Dec 6
The 2009 edition of the Holiday Cruise for People with Disabilities (formerly known by the now-politically-incorrect title “Special Peoples Cruise") was a huge success again this year. A dozen TYC boats took part, along with boats from Day Island YC, Totem YC, and a few independents, treating over 200 physically- and developmentally-challenged people to an hour-long boat trip.

Winter Vashon Island Race
Dec 5
Preliminary results for TYC's 2009 Winter Vashon Island Race are now available. The race was postponed for about an hour due to fog. The fog lifted and revealed a beautiful sunny day with winds that eventually gusted over 20 knots. Spinnakers were out for most of the race as the wind shifted through the day - first an easterly, as boats eased their way up Colvos, followed by calm where some boats took advantage of the current on the shore of Vashon, followed by a stronger northerly, which became a westerly as the last boats finished in the dark. The race is the first of four races in the Southern Sound Series.
