The America's Cup will be sailed on February 8, 10, and 12. This really should be quite exciting. The American boat is a 100' trimaran and the Swiss boat is a 100' catamaran. I don't have any info on TV coverage yet. Ray |

LS Fall Series Race 3 Results Posted |
|
Saturday, 03 October 2009 20:54 |
Another beautiful day in paradise - particularly for Paul Kirst. Congrats on his win on Lake Sequoia.
It must have been a good time from the notes sent by the Committee Boat Captain: "As many as four fouls are thought to have occured during the race without any penalties being assessed. All were resolved amicably, and none of them had any bearing on the outcome of the race except for the recorded times."

 Amazing would be an apt description of the race on Saturday. Fun would be good, too. The most boats I can remember and possibly the best wind we've ever had in July. Crowded at the start, crowded at the marks, lots of back and forth on the course, and a "surprising" win.
John Wynton sent me this photo which typifies the day. If there are more photos I will post them as quickly as possible.
Congrats to Ron Shepard for his first over - and his win on corrected time!
The wind was so good that a second race was run after "technical difficulties" were corrected on the Committee Boat. Not quite as "crowded" as the first race, but exciting, nonetheless. Congrats to Ray Taylor for his first over and to Bruce Keyser for his win.
I would like to add that while it's good to see Ted Atwood back on the water, if he continues to do as well as he's done lately we might want to encourage him to stay home until his health improves - some more. |

Le Mans Start for the Single Handed Race |
|
Monday, 01 June 2009 19:50 |
|
Hi Racers
Here is the info on next Saturdays LeMans start race.
Time: 1:00 PM
Place: Pine Island
There are supposed to be cleats on the bulkhead. The idea is to dock your boat at the bulkhead and come ashore. Once everyone is ashore at a designated place, a signal will be given and everyone will go to their boats, cast off and sail the course
There has been talk about a picnic on the island but there are a couple of drawbacks to this. One is the question of fire ants, another is the lack of facilities. So there will be no picnic.
THE RACE IS ON AND THE PICNIC IS CANCELLED. The race is single-handed. |

I have had to "unpublish" the Events Schedule for an upgrade. It should be active again shortly. I apologize for any inconvenience. |

We would like your opinion. A survey has been activated to get your opinion on whether you think setting up a designated "sailing area" at Johnson Point. At this stage, this is just an idea that has discussed as a way to encourage more people to have access to the water and sailboats.
The idea is that a rack for boats that could be "checked out". Additionally, a "beach area" would be established to facilitate launch and retrieval of those boats. The original idea was to make availble Sunfish, but has been expanded to include Kayaks and Canoes. Please understand that this is a "work in progress" and that your opinion is important. |
