Hi all,

We are hosting a gold (varsity) team race this weekend! Sailors going are: Axel, Cole, Hans V, Katy, Keagan, Tyce

Since this is a home event, sailors not listed above are welcome to come and watch for all or part of the day. It is the team race qualifier for district champs and we have 6 top teams attending, and we are using our new race sails with school logos on them! Lots of excitement to watch.

Schedule:
Saturday
9:00am Report time at Zuanich Point Park Youth Sailing Dock
We will be unloading boats at the top of the dock and setting up sails etc. in all of our boats. Registration for other teams opens at 9:30am

11:00am First Start

Sunday

Attached is the Notice Of Race which includes the schedule and entry fee. 

Here is our planning spreadsheet for anyone helping or interested in helping- Thank you to Karen and Meghan for helping with food. We still need a parent to run the registration table Saturday morning if possible.

Sailors should bring $20- $10 for entry fee and $10 for group sandwiches for lunch! There will be light breakfast and snacks that we are providing at this event which is included in the entry fee (food is similar to what was provided during the day at Vashon but way less people).

Please let me know if you have any questions!

Anna

Whatcom Sailing Remaining Regattas

Hi Everyone,

Thanks for making it out for an awesome regatta this past weekend at Ranking Regatta #3 at Vashon Island! That was our final overnight event and our second-to-last fleet race of the season. Big thanks to all the parents who drove and organized food! 

The rest of the Regatta signups will close tonight at 8:00 pm. Please double-check all the info and update anything that has changed. 

April 20-21 Bellingham Gold TR Quals - Sehome is the only team with enough sailors to have a gold TR team. 

April 20-21 Leschi Silver TR Quals - Mixed team allowed. We can only send 8 sailors because we only have one berth. Driving back home for Saturday night.   

We will send out the logistics for the regattas this weekend once sign-ups close tonight. Apologies that we are a little behind on this one, Vashon took a lot of time and energy. 

April 27-28 Oak Harbor Gold TR Champs - Sehome only if they qualify @Bham quals the weekend of the 20th. Driving back home for Saturday night. 

April 27-28 Sail Sand Point Silver/Gallium TR Champs - Have to qualify at Leschi Silver TR the weekend of the 20th. Driving back home for Saturday night. 

May 4-5 Anacortes Fleet Race Champs - Gold and Silver fleet race regatta. Open to all sailors. We are planning on taking everyone. Driving back home for Saturday night.
