Just a brief note to let folk know that Kansai Yacht Club or KYC as she is affectionately known around these waters will be holding a Whitesail club point yacht race August 1st, 2009. Late entries are being accepted so if you want to join in the race give Kansai Yacht Club a call. The notice of race entries I received this morning showed some pretty stiff competition and as such I expect a marvellous race. The weather and wind do also seem to be on side which of course is always welcome. Kansai Yacht Club English speaking sailors are growing in numbers, and we would love to see more and more non Japanese sailors out there. Don’t get me wrong we love the Japanese sailors out there. After all, it is their water. However, we non Japanese are still heavily outnumbered. If you own a yacht then come on and join us. If you do not own a yacht yet would like to become a crew member then come and join us. If you nothing about sailing yet feel maybe you would like to take up the sport of Sailing Japan then come and join us. All the best and hope to see you on the water. I will be sailing on a Dufour 41 classic named “HORA”. Should you see us out there give a wave and yell out “HORA”
