Admiral Nelson’s chase boat
Final plans are being made for the Atkins’ Hospitality Regatta which will be held Saturday July 6th.
Rain or shine whether there is racing or not the Atkins’ are committed to hosting us.
If conditions are right for racing, the start line will be the south dock at CYC and the finish line will be 2.5 miles south east at 4314 Deep Run Canandaigua, NY 14424 (Maggie & Neil’s home). This is just off of East Lake Rd.
The race will begin promptly at 1:30 PM off the south dock at CYC. A starting line will be set and the start may be upwind or down depending on the wind direction that day. I will make every effort to acquire a chase boat if you are planning on racing across the lake. I will also arrange transportation before or after racing to pick up our vehicles. I suggest that you either leave your vehicle at CYC or at Deep Run park before racing begins.
If you do not race across you can still enter the elimination rounds of racing at Maggie and Neil’s home. As long as you win in the elimination rounds you keep racing to improve your position. Once you are eliminated or declared the winner it will be time to sit back and enjoy the hospitality of Maggie and Neil. They always do a superb job at entertaining and feeding this group.
I do ask that you please RSVP (Yes or No) Maggie at matkins@frontiernet.net or Admiral Nelson at eal@onecommail.com (cell phone 585-201-0515)so that we may know how many to expect.
If you are planning on attending and would like to contribute by bringing an appetizer or desert please inform Maggie at (585) 396-9973 or matkins@frontiernet.net to help coordinate her efforts.
“OTHER NEWS” I have adjusted and updated our calendar for racing times on Sunday afternoons by 30 minutes to allow for the afternoon Sharks, cruisers, and J boats to get off the water. The new time will be 4:30PM – 6:30PM thru October 6th. I hope that this change does not cause any problems for anyone.
