Chicago Yacht Club Welcomes You!
 Greetings to All
It is my honor to welcome you all to our great city and our Club as we prepare to host the Etchells World Championship in the summer of 2008.
Our Club celebrates a “Tradition of Yachting Excellence”, accomplished only with the help and dedication of our members and staff alike. We work hard at meeting our goals of excellence in all that we do, including this event. I would like to thank our 2008 Etchells Regatta Committee, led by Chair Rick Kaiser and our Fleet Captain, Ted Jones for their tireless efforts, which have already begun in preparing this event.
While you are here, I also hope you have the time to discover what makes Chicago a great place to live, work and visit. Whether it is our world renowned museums, restaurants, neighborhoods, or architecture; our city offers something for everyone.
I look forward to meeting all of you!
Sincerely,
John Regan
Commodore
