Roughly 2.5 miles, heading of 156.4
Join us, rain or shine or hurricane, on Sunday, September 16th at 1:00 pm for a RC Laser race from the Canandaigua Yacht Club to Neil and Maggie Atkins’ house!
Please let Maggie know if you plan on coming over for the cookout. She said there was no need to bring anything but she would like to have a good headcount by Sept. 14th.
Nelson and I will run across the lake in a powerboat and set up a finish line in Deep Run Cove in front of their house and then be back at CYC by 1 pm where we’ll get set up for a start gun at 1:30.
If you can’t figure out your ride across the lake, we’ll have directions for you to drive around and those who sail across will meet on the other side. Once we are all over there, we’ll set out some marks and race in the afternoon while the food is grilling. So, please make plans to come whether or not you want to race across!
These races are for fun and won’t count for our overall high point awards or for the Fall Series scores.
In other news, the Old Salt’s Regatta will be sailed in Sunfish this year. A representative(s) from each fleet competes on behalf of the fleet where they normally race during the year (J/24, J/22, RC Laser, Ensigns, Cruisers, Vanguards, Sharks, etc.). The regatta has been moved to 9 a.m. on Sept. 15th and is held at CYC. If you would like to represent the RC Laser fleet in this regatta this year, please let Bill Schmidt know so he can get you set up with a race-ready Sunfish to use for the competition.
This Sunday, September 9, at 4 p.m. we will continue the Fall Low Points Series with Week #4 of 6. The scores are tightening up so make plans to come out and sail!
