Catawba Yacht Club

C*C representing at the Great 48 Flying Scot regatta on Lake Norman.

Jan Havmoeller put up bullets in races three and four and it turned out to be the difference as he won a thrilling tie breaker with John Harrop to take the 2026 Atlanta Rebel Rouser MC Regatta. Both skippers finished with net scores of 20 points over 8 races, but when the tie breaker was applied, Jan's bullets reigned supreme!! If we go back to Dave Forrest's win in 2021, this makes five years in a row that C*C has won the event. Dave won 2021 and Jan has won 2022-2026. Congratulations Jan. C*C is proud of you.

20 C*C members gathered today, May 3, 2025 to earn their First Aid-CPR certifications. Ann Crehore, Vice Commodore for Membership and Safety organized the session at the C*C clubhouse which included 4.5 hours of instruction and hands on practice. The majority of the morning focused on a variety of first aid best practices and then segued into CPR training. The course also included in-depth instruction on the use of the C*C AED. C*C maintains a complete first aid kit and AED in the clubhouse kitchen. Secondary first aid kits are at the rowing shelter and the sailing race committee boat. We should all feel a bit safer at C*C knowing that over 20 members are newly certified in first aid, CPR, and AED use. Thank you Ann Crehore for organizing this. Christy Burfurd caught it all on film here.https://www.amazon.com/photos/shared/0a-164cVRYG5HFZeXz1wiQ.Mgw9r61rUG2Sxu9fNnKqA4

C*C sailors gathered at the clubhouse on Thursday, May 1, to celebrate the 2024 sailing season. Five new awards plaques were awarded and a number of veteran plaques were added to. The crew enjoyed a dinner of pizza, salad, and brownies before the awards were handed out. Christy Burford caught it all on camera for us (THANK YOU, CHRISTY).

Great shot of Jan off the starting line at Eustis last weekend. He is 2854

Jan Havmoeller sailed 7-13-1-13 for a total of 34 points at the MC Southeastern Regionals . He placed FOURTH out of 47 boats and that put him in the top five - the trophy division. He was second in the Masters class to multi-national champion and the builder of our boats, Andy Burdick. Quite an accomplishment. Will post pictures ASAP.
