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.

**I have attached a PDF of the confirmation in case anyone needs it to check into the campground. We paid for everyone and will get paid back as sailors give me their $75 registration for the weekend. Again, if the cost is too much for you or your family to handle right now, let me know.

Anna

Hi all,

Some updates on the regatta on Vashon Island this weekend:

Carpools: Thanks to those who responded so far and to parents who can drive. We are extremely close to having enough seats for everyone. If any parents are planning on driving their own sailors but cannot drive others, please let us know so we can take your sailor off the list of who needs rides.

We will also be bringing 6 boats (in 2 trailers, borrowing WWU's trailer) to provide enough boats for everyone going.

Camping: We will be tent camping with other teams at AYH ranch on Friday and Saturday night. The team will be staying as a group and we will book as a group once we get the confirmed numbers of sailors and parents attending. Camping is $10 per sailor per night, $20 per adult per night.

Food: The host team, Gig Harbor, is providing dinner on Saturday and breakfast Saturday and Sunday. Any parents wanting dinner should let us know so we can request additional meal tickets from the host. 

Our team will do our own group dinner Friday night and lunch both Saturday and Sunday, plus lots of snacks. Thank you to the parents helping plan group food for our team. Group food will be $15 per person for the weekend.

Cost: With group food, camping, the registration fee, and the ferry, sailors should plan to bring $75 to cover weekend costs. Please let us know if this cost is not doable for you or your sailor- we want this event to be accessible to everyone.

Please review this planning spreadsheet which includes a list of what each sailor should bring, and group food and carpool plans (in progress). Please also view the host's Notice of Race (NOR), which includes the daily schedule.

We will continue to update with logistics planning as we hear back from more sailors at practice today, and from parents on driving. It will be super fun to have all skill levels and schools in one place for the weekend!

Best,

Anna

Thank you to parents Karen Woo, Oksana Purpura, and Meghan Carrigan for helping plan group food!

$75 per sailor will cover regatta registration fees, campsite, and group food. Please let us know if you are unable to pay this cost and we will get a scholarship sorted.

Hi Everyone,

Please review the Regatta signup and make sure all information is correct for these two upcoming events:

This Regatta has both gold and silver so we are planning on taking as many sailors as possible. We will be leaving Friday afternoon and camping for both Friday and Saturday night. Parents, if you are available to drive and spend the weekend, we need more drivers. $35 registration fee for the Regatta includes a light breakfast Sat/Sun and a dinner Saturday night.

Re: Orcas Clinic- Meet at 6am tomorrow

Hi everyone,

Thank you all for your responses on tents! 

It sounds like we now have more than enough tents for everyone- awesome. 

The campsite states that only two tents are allowed per site, and we have two sites booked aka 4 tents- not as awesome; we are limited. 

In this case, we have enough spaces and are fitting into the rules if these 6 people bring the 5 tents listed below and on the spreadsheet:

Tyce 5+ person Alex 2 person Megan 3 person Anna 1 person Sophia 4 person

This allows us enough space in a few larger tents to stay within the rules of the campsite (plus one emergency/extra tent). I know a lot of sailors were planning to bring their own smaller tents. If you want to bring those in case they let us set up extra, that's fine (I even included it as an option on the spreadsheet), but I'd like us to have the ability to fit within the 4 tents rule if needed.

Thanks again and please let me know if you have any other questions!

See you tomorrow at the Sehome Hill Haggens at 6am.

Best,

Anna

Hi Team,

Olympia Team - Keagan, Cole, Max, Tristan, Katy, Oscar

Schedule -  Two options

• Leave Friday 5 pm. Get to our housing around 8pm.
• Leave Saturday morning at 6:15am to make the 9am report time. 

I always think it's a great idea to leave the night before and get good rest for the sailors. I understand that this is late notice for leaving Friday so I want to hear if that works from each family. 

Thanks,

Cooper

Re: Orcas Silver Team Race

Good morning everyone,

Thank you for your responses! We will be going down SATURDAY morning, meeting at Sehome Hill Haggens at 6:00am on Saturday and taking the 7:40am ferry from Anacortes to Orcas. 

Addresses/ Travel times:

The Anacortes Ferry Terminal is about 1 hour from Bellingham, located at Ferry Terminal Road, Anacortes, WA.

We will be sailing at Orcas Yacht Club in Deer Harbor, located at 876 Deer Harbor Rd, Eastsound, WA. It's about 10 minutes from the ferry terminal and the host knows we will be getting on island right at 8:30. 

We are planning to camp at West Beach Resort, located at 190 Waterfront Way, Eastsound, WA. It's about 10 minutes from the Yacht Club and 15 minutes from the ferry terminal.

Ferries:

If drivers could please reserve spots for the 7:40am ferry on Saturday 23rd at

https://wsdot.com/ferries/schedule/scheduledetailbyroute.aspx?route=ana-sj-sid

that will help ensure we get the ferry on the way there! You have to get there 30 min before the scheduled sailing, which is why we are aiming to get there by 7:00am.

We will hopefully be taking the 5:15pm ferry back to Anacortes on Sunday, but reservations on the way home are unavailable. Reservations for the milk run (the last ferry that goes to all of the islands) are available if drivers want to reserve a spot on the 10:05pm ferry back to Anacortes on Sunday. That way, we will be sure we make it back on that ferry at the latest, although it is likely we will get on an earlier ferry. If we do end up having to wait to take a later ferry, the ferry terminal at Orcas has cell service, bathrooms, and some stores.

Camping:

We do not have to bring boats to this event (thanks to Orcas for providing them all!) but we do have to bring camping gear. If anyone can bring tents let me know. Sailors, please plan to bring a sleeping bag and sleeping pad at least, and possibly a tent if you have one. If anyone does not have a sleeping bag or sleeping pad, please reach out.

There are showers and a firepit at the campsite. The regatta host has said we can hang up sailing gear to dry at the yacht club overnight on Saturday. We are planning to bring group food- if any parents are interested in helping organize food for this let me know!

I'll be in touch with more details as I hear back about tents and group food, and will be updating it in this planning spreadsheet. Please take a look if you are interested.

Let me know if you have any questions! 

Best,

Anna

Hi all,

Sorry for a delay in getting this information out. It was unclear until today how many sailors we could send to each event this weekend. It is also finals week for WWU. 

As you have heard, we are splitting up into two teams this weekend for team racing. We are sending 6 sailors with Cooper to Olympia for the gold team race clinic, and 11 sailors with Anna to Orcas for a silver team race clinic. There is no gallium (c-team) option for this weekend.

Orcas Team - Bella, Hans V, August, Tyce, Avery, Finn, Atticus, Oz, Hans S, Sofia, Errol

Drivers- Errol's parent (4), Hans V's parent (3), and Anna (4). We technically have enough seats, but with camping gear, sleeping bags, and sailing gear, it would be nice to have a fourth driver. If any parents are able, let me know.

Costs - Please send $40 with your sailor. This will cover the campsite fee ($10), gas and ferry ($10), and group food ($20). 

We are working out if we should leave Friday night or Saturday morning. Both options are listed below in italics. Please respond with your availability if possible!
