June 27

 

Good wind tonight, should be a great evening of sailing (if we can avoid the storms). Hopefully will get some of the Jr. Sailors to come out with us, in which case I expect we’ll have traditional starts (rather than rabbits).

Had a great weekend sailing Lightnings in Bay City at the MI Districts. Saturday’s winds were blowing 15-20 mph, and the waves were 2-3 ft. It’s the cleanest our boat as ever been, as we were constantly taking waves over the deck. (My foul weather gear was continually put to the test.) The legs were set at close to a mile, and running downwind we surfed from mark to mark. I didn’t think to time it, but those legs could not have taken more than 3-4 minutes. Mike Welch will post the results, but it sounded like PYC members Mark Allen and Jim Allen took 1st and 2nd.

See you tonight.

June 13 Sailing

This may be the best sailing of the season, on one of the longest days of the year. There’s no better time to come out! Come August we’ll be begging for these days.

See you tomorrow!

June 6 Sailing

Memorial Day is behind us, Labor Day is in front, which means we are now into summer! (never mind the solstice stuff on the June 21st)

It looks like we’ll have some reasonable wind: 9-10 MPH’s. Hope we’ll see you there!

Memorial Day Sailing?

Are people interested in sailing Memorial Day? (I'm not sure if I'm available, but I want to pose the question.)

Highs of 88, with wind speeds around 11 mph.

Post a reply to this if you’re interested.

Sailing–16-May-2011

Hi All

Well, this afternoon’s weather calls for cold, but windy. (Believe it or not, they can even calculate a wind chill ).

Let’s try sailing tonight if people are interested, once again starting at 6:30 if we get a turnout. I think the DCD kids will be out.

Monday Night Racing Starts Tonight!

At 2:45pm, this is the forecast I’m seeing on Intellicast. Should be a great first night of sailing!
