Beat the heat! Go Sailing!

If we can avoid the thunderstorms, should be a great night to be on the water. See you tonight. (We’ll verify the weather before leaving shore.)

Monday Night Racing

This occurs, as you might guess, on Monday nights, beginning the week after Memorial Day and ending the week before Labor Day. However, we may start earlier this year, since most of our racers have wet/dry suits anyway. (By mid-April, a number of our guys have already been out.)

People arrive around 6pm, with races starting as soon as we get on the water. We try to have a few races per evening, so feel free to straggle in. We run races until a little before sunset.

What boats can race?

Pretty much anything smaller than a Lighting. Generally we have Lasers, Sunfish and windsurfers.

Is it highly competitive?

No! We're just out to have fun, and this is a great place to work on skills.

Over the past couple of years it has not been a large group, so we want as many people racing as possible. So this year, we'll be using Rabbit Starts, and some neat bouys that Scott Fohey found that can be transported via sailboat and even windsurfer. On most evenings we will not even be taking out the Whaler. (However, if you're comfortable driving the whaler, and would like to come watch, please do so!)
