Learn How to Recognize a Concussion and What to Do
ABYC requires skippers to be responsible for concussion awareness and removal-from-sport procedures under Rowan’s Law for their crew. By registering for ABYC club racing you, as skipper, agree to accept that responsibility and to comply with these concussion management procedures. If you will not be skipper (the person in charge or PIC) on your boat for the race, you must ensure that your appointed PIC will comply with these procedures on your behalf.
Download this Concussion Recognition Tool, print and post in your boat for you and your crew.
Harbourmaster’s Hat Trophy
NEW DATE: Sunday, May 15
Not quite a cruise, and not quite a race… this trophy will be awarded to the first keelboat to enter Bluffers Park Yacht Club after departing ABYC no earlier than 1300 on Sunday, May 15. The boat must be fully rigged and must be sailed the full distance to the selected harbour and skippered by the boat owner.
As proof of your brave voyage, please take a picture at the dock in front of the clubhouse and email it to Harbourmaster Bob Wilson. The first picture wins!
