Sad, but true, the end of the season is quickly approaching.  But that is no reason to not hit the water for one last regatta at QYC!  Every Laser sailor is welcome to attend the Last Blast Laser regatta Saturday October 13, 2007.  Each year the regatta grows in popularity.  You need to come because this may be the last one with a possiblity for good weather!

 If you are a club member consider volunteering to help out and work down some volunteer hours.

Youth Sailing Program alumni, and club members, Josh Krepps and Nick Vardaro took first place at the 2007 USA Junior Olympic Festival in the 420 white fleet. The regatta was hosted by the Lincoln Maritime Center in Hingham Massachusetts. Winning this event qualifies them to race in the Orange Bowl Regatta in December at the Coral Ree Yacht Club in Florida. Family and friends are working to aquire the funds they need to make the trip.

About 8 teams associated the club and the QYC Youth Program also competed in the regatta.

QYC member Mike McCafrey won the Day Sailer North American Championships. The regatta was hosted by Massapoag Yacht Club in Sharron Massachusetts. The Fleet consisted of 25 boats from all over the country.

The Flying Scot North American Championships (NACs) were hosted at the Corinthian Yacht Club in Marblehead Massachusetts the week of July 10, 2006. A lot of hard work and dedication from the regatta volunteers provided a recipe for guaranteed success.
