	The burgee shown is from the SG-HFB, Segelgemeinenschaft
Hamburger Flugzeugbauor, which translates as The Sailing Community of Hamburg Joint Aircraft Builders.  With approximately 4,000 employees building aircraft in Hamburg, there are many club sport and hobby teams organized through the workplace.  The sailing community is just one of many.  We look forward to helping Andre’ get plugged in to our great sailing opportunities on Mobile Bay.  The burgee will be proudly displayed in the FYC Clubhouse.

Regularly scheduled FYC Harbor "electrical power shut downs" start on June 1, 2013.  The electrical power to the harbor will be shut down on the mornings of the first Saturday of every month, starting June 1, 2013. These shut downs are to allow folks with boats in the wet slips to schedule cleaning their boat bottoms, change zincs, etc. We are feeling our way through doing these shutdowns so we’ll be making adjustments along the way to best accommodate the membership. If we schedule any shore power shutdowns before the one in June, we’ll send out e-mails to the membership and post the shutdown details on the FYC webpage as special announcements. So, watch your e-mail inbox and FYC webpage for further details. It'd be a good time to make sure your e-mail address is up to date in the FYC database.
