FIYC phenix arrises

Fishers Island Yacht Club has literally risen from its ashes. After a clubhouse half destroyed, two Race Directors leaving there post, and a skeptical sailing community, things looked very gloomy indeed. 

But so often under hardship, the best in people and human relations tend to surface. Somehow a miracle took place. We rebuild the clubhouse to the level of a SL monument, redesigned sailing-courses, communicated with the sailing community, appointed officers, made FIYC club cloth, re-established winners row, appointed volunteers to the post of Race Direct
or and established a nice spread of sailing events over the week. We are doing races and many events in the Fizz-cup and of course we still sponsor the Big Cat Cup.

And when i see how much work everybody puts into this to make it happen and in what good spirit we work together as a team 
or more like a family, it makes me proud and emotional.  Its just unbelievable! A community has been liberated and is now on
 it road to glory, just wait, you haven't seen anything yet!
