Anne at the finish line
The first day of the fall series belonged to Anne Lambert with a net score of 3 after three races. In second place was Terry Schmidt with a net score of 5. For the complete order of finish click “Results” 2013 Fall Series.
On a day that was most challenging the girls managed to avoid the many weed beds that have formed off the docks and navigated very shifty winds flawlessly. As I recall even Mary Schmidt had a bullet on Sunday. The guys had best step it up a notch this week or we’re going to hear that war cry (“YEAH BABY”) from Anne again. If history is any indicator, if you give them a dollar they take your wallet, so I’m sure that they will be out for everything we have. Anne has suggested that the end of the dock positioning of racers should be like auto racing. If you have the best score you move to the front of the dock. We’ll see how that flies with the guys.
Racing this Sunday will again be 4:30 – 6:30 off the south dock CYC. Get ready to rumble.
I would also like to mention that the RC Nationals will be held in late October this year and is accepting registrations. If you are interested in joining you should register ASAP. For all the details (times, housing, restaurants, etc.) just click on Notice of Race below.
RC Laser National Championship Accepting Skipper Registrations

The Notice of Race and Registration Link for the first ever RC Laser National Championship to be held in late October is now available. With the recent embrace of the AMYA Rules for sanctioned national remote control classes, the Laser Class has taken steps in the last year to provide tight one design racing rules, a Class Secretary within the American Model Yachting Association (AMYA) and the agreement to hold a National Championship annually for all AMYA members who have registered RC Lasers. Nick Mortgu, Regatta Chairman and AMYA Class Secretary, has worked hard with the experienced Tred Avon YC, to host this championship along with the support from the Oxford RC Laser Fleet. Tred Avon has hosted numerous RC Laser Championships over the past 8 years and the venue and meal experience will be first class.
There are tremendous advantages for all skippers to register for this championship as soon as possible. First of all the racing will be run by AMYA President, David Brawner. Dave’s firm but gentle hand will assure a great racing experience and lots of comradery on the dock. Secondly, you can register on-line via Pay Pal, take care of your guest meal fees, join AMYA if you need too, at a discount, all in about 30 seconds. We will do our best to provide housing for registered out of towners. So sign up first and we’ll go to work.
Let’s fill this regatta to the 30 boat limit as soon as possible. I’M IN!
