The first race of the 2013 Frostbite Series will be sailed Sunday October 14th starting at 2pm. Sailing will take place on the Erie Canal in the Village of Fairport. Park behind Riki’s restaurant by the public launch. We’ll sail from the wooden wharf on the north side of the canal (west of the lift bridge).
This will be your last chance to race with Bill and Tracy before they head off to their new home. The next time you will get this opportunity will be at the Blevins’ Invitational Regatta (date and location TBD).
The Erie Canal in Fairport is best known as the historic birthplace of the Canandaigua RC Laser Fleet. It is here where young Bill Blevins first sailed his RC Laser. In his later years Bill decided it was his mission in life to share the the RC Laser experience with anyone that would follow his lead. And follow they did – in no time at all we were all taking out second mortgages to order any thing we could to help us rise to the highest level of RC Masters.
A farewell party for Bill and Tracy will be held at Gary and Terry Schmidt’s house (8 Caywood Lane, Fairport) immediately following the races. Please come to the gathering so we can truly thank Bill and Tracy for the great times that have given to all of us. If you have not already done so please RSVP to Terry at tmschmid@rochester.rr.com.
