Last Practice Thursday / Junior Scow Regatta

Two announcements:

On Thursday we have our last practice of the season and we have a special guest coach.  Jonathan McKee is coming up to coach just our team.  This is very cool as Jonathan is a professional sailor with lots of experience.  He has: won a dozen national champhionships, multiple world championships, 1 Olympic Gold medal, 1 olympic bronze medal, college all american sailor, raced in the Americas Cup, Volvo Ocean race, Mini Transat, Bermuda World Race, and probably more I don't know about or forgetting.  He's quite good.  So, plan on making it to practice Thursday and if you can come early to rig boats that would give you more time with him coaching rather than wasting time rigging.  Come with questions!  And be thankful because he is making a special trip up just for you guys and he leaves the next day for Austria to race RC44's!


Second Announcement:

The Junior scow regatta is being held on June 2nd.  This is a great event and something you should all take part in.  The fleet is offering their boats to you to race so find a pair or singlehand and go scow racing.  Below is the schedule and contact information.
