The recommended length for a mooring line in Fredericton is 5′ horizontally from your bow to the ball. Actual line length will vary depending on the height of your boat deck. The mooring placements and overlaps are calculated based on this length, so it is important.
This year’s club cruise theme is “A taste of salt”.
Lighthouse on Campobello Island
Many of our sailors are apprehensive about venturing out of the protection of the river system. This club cruise will allow us an easier, and safer, introduction to near shore sailing. We will do a loop up to Campobello Island and back.
We will modify this itinerary realtime, during the cruise, to accommodate current weather conditions and progress.
If you have ideas for local attractions that we could visit at each port of call, please contact me.
Contact Andrew Jefferies (andrew.jefferies@gmail.com) if you would like to get involved in further planning around the cruise or to confirm attendance.
Note on communications: Throughout the cruise we will be monitoring channel 16 and 12 and will be using 71 as our working channel.
Sailing School 2012
The Partners for Youth Sailing School has had a second fantastic summer of sailing! This summer we had more than forty people through our collective sailing programs. We at Partners for Youth would like to thank you for all your support of our sailing program whether it be in helping us fix and maintain our boats, finding and moving our moorings, or making your donation so that a deserving child may learn to sail and have a great lifetime experience that could not afford otherwise.
At this time we are eagerly awaiting and planning for next season. We are looking forward to introduce some new programs including a sailing/ racing club and as well as a new more flexible day camp format.
If you wish to get involved in any way please don’t hesitate to contact me as we are always looking for support in this fantastic program.
For more updates on the sailing program and others offered at the Small Craft check us out on Facebook or follow us on Twitter.
Sincerely,
Andrew Cuthbertson

2002 Copy of The Log
“The Log” has been a long standing tradition at the FYC. We have used it to relay stories, information, and share memories. Traditionally The Log has been released periodically as a PDF document and in hard copy.
Producing a single static document is a time consuming process that takes an understanding of layout, content contributors and distribution. A daunting task!
An easier, less time consuming, alternative to a monolithic document is a web version of The Log. Content can be added as it is written. The online tool that is used to present The Log allows for easy creation that anyone can do quickly.
This new website section will be a way for us to keep The Log as a key communication within the club but will move it into a more regular and dynamic resource. Rather than a static document released yearly (?), this page will be updated immediately as stories are written by members.
Interested in contributing to The Log? It is fast and easy. Contact Andrew Jefferies for details on how you can get involved.
