Race Report: 15 July. 8 smiling faces, including race committee. 4 sailing craft rigged, but iffy-air, followed by distant lightning cut the night short. Radar correctly indicated the dangerous weather had passed, but there were new indications that distant lightning activity might be blowing in, so we cut it short at one race. Did not reach a competition quorum of sailing craft on the course as the slower craft wisely hung back, eye on the clouds.

With the Whaler going out, as it does for these Monday events, we can tow boats in if the wind dies or lighting approaches. As such, even iffy weather is worth coming out to try a run around the buoys.

See you next week, sailing round the buoys!

Fall Sailing Saturdays

The final Monday night sailing is this coming Monday, August 29th. The following week is Labor Day, and the weekend after that is the PYC Whitecap regatta (for Lightning’s).

A number of us sail into late fall (roughly Thanksgiving). If people are interested we could sail on Saturdays? Nothing at all formal, just enough organization that if people are interested we can agree on a time.

Current thoughts are 11 am Saturdays for those who are interested.

25 Aug (Thursday)

If anyone is thinking about it, I’m planning on sailing tonight, getting to PYC about 4:30.
