<P><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Hey there Tuners!</FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Next weekend we have two days of racing - white sails
on CityFront on Saturday, then a spinnaker pursuit race as part of this Sarcoma
Cup (organized by Mark Lowry, who sailed his Tuna Soliton to our YRA
championship for many years before deciding he wasn't spending enough money on
sails etc. and buying an Express 27).</FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I have been overwhelmed by life events so have not
been publicizing this as much as I should have, but I'm planning on being
there! <SPAN class=911360019-15082009>(For those of you who heard about
them, my dad is doing better.) </SPAN>And RYC knows how to throw a party
on the "Richmond Riviera", we're welcome to come raft up with the throngs on
Saturday after doing CityFront and join it. Hey, it's all downwind from GGYC,
right?</FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Entry fee is only $1.25 per foot, so supposedly 27.50
per Tuna (for some reason they thought my boat was only 21 feet long and charged
me 26.25); and that includes a bunch of swag, free beer (both days) and free
massage!!! (on Saturday), a rummage sale... Sorta a precurser to the famous
Great Pumpkin Regatta which is always a class favorite.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=2 face=Arial>So come join us! See </FONT></SPAN><A

<P><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Subject: Sarcoma Cup Aug. 22-23, 2009</FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Dear fellow RYC Members,</FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=2 face=Arial>The Club is getting ready to host the second annual
Sarcoma Cup, in partnership with BeatSarcoma and a host of sponsors. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=2 face=Arial>This is not your traditional fundraiser. There is no
minimum contribution, there is no high prices - in fact a lot of what is on
offer is FREE! - it works by making sure that its participants are having a
great time. This Club was built for fun, and that is what the Sarcoma Cup is
about: a fun weekend of sailing, packed with great entertainment and high value
sponsored prizes. It will also bring hope to sarcoma patients; 100% of the
proceeds from the event will support a sarcoma research institution. Sarcoma is
a deadly form of cancer that affects primarily children, teenagers and young
adults and that receives a disproportionately small amount of cancer research
funding.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=2 face=Arial>And you do not have to race to take part in it.
</FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=2 face=Arial>For boaters (racers or not!): for $1.25/ft,
enjoy:</FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=2 face=Arial>-OD, PHRF and relaxed cruising division (if you don't
have a PHRF certificate, we can make this work, please contact us) - non regular
