The NEIYA fall meeting and Swap Meet will be held at he same place as last year, Knights of Columbus hall in Westboro, Mass., ten days from now on Saturday 10/25. This is the time and place to find everything from blocks to boats. The lunch is always great, as is meeting everyone without their helmets on!

As is traditional, our CIBC annual fall meeting will be the next day, Sunday 10/26, at Commodore Dave Fortier’s house in Biddeford. Pot Luck lunch at about noon, followed by the meeting. We have quite a few new sailors this year and hope to see them here: 12 Chretien Rd., Biddeford, ME 04005.

Long time sailor and builder Doug Sharp is selling most of his boats and gear. Have a look at the New England Ice Yacht Association site for full inventory. If you can’t make it to the Swap Meet but are interested in any of the stuff contact Bill Buchholz or Lloyd Roberts and we will bring it back to Maine for you.
