2002 DYC Fun Cruise The 2002 Fun Cruise to Detroit Yacht Club took place under warm and blustery conditions. Winds out of the southwest ranged from the high teens to the mid-twenties with a few periods where the winds blew in excess of 30 knots! The long beat to DYC across the chop of Lake St. Clair made for some interesting choices of course to the head of the Detroit River, with boats taking advantage of some huge oscillations (upwards of 30 degree shifts in the wind between 220 and 250) to get to the right (and thus inshore) side of the course making out well in the relatively calmer waters off the Grosse Pointes. A few boats ran into some problems along the way: Sasparilla broke a spreader and Surprise blew up their veteran #3. The 'Fun Committee' for the race, led by Bill Jenkins, produced sailing instructions with numerous admonitions to have fun, and to avoid hitting land.
