2007 Cruise Calendar
Remember, it only takes two boats to start a cruise. Mention it out loud and others will say “That sounds good, I’m going too!” Last year we had great participation from both sailors and power boaters alike and I’m sure that will continue. If you are new to cruising (as we all were at one time) and would like some mentoring to get started, please be in touch. There is no finer way to spend a weekend, a week, or longer, than cruising with your friends and fellow boaters. Closely following last year’s successful calendar, the 2007 York River Yacht Club Cruise Calendar is outlined below.

Read MoreMoonlight Race Results
This year's Moonlight Race was atypical in that it saw big winds, big waves and lots of boat speed. The only thing missing was the moon, which didn't appear until after most boats had crossed the finish line. Steve Bowen and crew on Dream On put a big hurt on the spinnaker boats, and Bill Strauss and the Excalibur team did the same in the non-spin fleet.

Jade Wins Admiral’s Cup
Barry Campell and the crew of Jade (left) won the 2006 Admiral's Cup. This was the tri-fecta for Jade; now she has won three of the 10 Admiral's Cup titles. Finishing 2nd in the non-spinnaker fleet behind Jade, was Bill Strauss' Excalibur. In the combined PHRF A/B/C spinnaker fleet Mike Austin, Movin' On, took 1st and Chuck Eldred on Gail Force finished 2nd. Seaford Yacht Club and York River Yacht Club team up each year to bring the Admiral's Cup Regatta to the York River area racers.
