Sheepshead Bay Yacht Club, Brooklyn, NY

2009 kicked off with the 101st Commodores Ball. We’ve come a long way from the days when our club house was owned by the Rheingold Beer Family. Wonder if their party’s ended with dancing on the tables?

New Members enjoy the evening

Another great thing about SBYC is its reciprocity with other clubs in the area.

The owners of Water Colors, a Bristol 27, sailed over to Keyport Yacht Club this weekend where the club had a mooring waiting and used the facilities. Dinner in town and and a sail back the next day. A great weekend.

Lots to do in Keyport, just head over for the day or the weekend.

In Keyport

Well it was almost another rain delay in finishing setting up for 2009 season, but a few hearty souls stuck it out and got it all together. Last boats in the water, tables and new umbrellas up. A clean sweep of the grounds and we are good to go.

Fog over the Riviera

Mothers day was a great day at SBYC. Members and their mothers enjoyed great food, incredible live music and a glorious spring day with the sun on the bay. Here’s a sample

Bobby and JVP went out on Bobby’s newly stripped and fresh painted BANDIT, on Saturday.  It was a day when the wind didn’t kick up and help push the fog off the water. A quick jaunt across Ambrose channel turned in to a slow  coast back home.

Well, the boats are in the water, and 2009 season has started.

Here’s to good weather and sunny days.
