Regatta signups closing for all remaining regattas

Hi everyone,

Tomorrow at 10PM we will be closing the signups for the remaining regattas this season. This is to allow us to plan better for the champs season. Please go through our regatta signup and make updates.

Brief overview of remaining regattas 

Silver Fleet Race Champs May 2-3 @Anacortes - This will be the last fleet race for our silver team. Gold team sailors will also be attending this event, but they have to sail their off position. We plan to send everyone who signs up to this regatta.

Gold Fleet Race Champs May 9-10 @Bellingham - equivalent to state champs, and Sehome and Bellingham have qualified! The 1st and 2nd place teams qualify for Fleet Race Nationals. The 3rd team qualifies for a national invite event. Only the Sehome and Bellingham gold teams will be competing at this regatta, but I encourage everyone to still come out to watch and support the team! 

Golden Bailer Race - Our annual distance race across Bellingham Bay, also known as the most prestigious trophy in high school sailing. Most likely at practice May 12th or 19th.

Mayhem TR Regatta May 15-16 @Seattle (SSP) - This is an open/mixed team race regatta to end our spring season. We will be sending everyone to this regatta.

Let me know if you have any questions. 

Thanks,

Cooper 

Team Race Champs in Oak Harbor April 25-26 Update

Hi everyone,

This weekend is a gold team race regatta, so it requires 6+ sailors from the same school. We do not have the signups to send a Bellingham or Squalicum team. If you are from those schools, you do not have a regatta this weekend.

Sehome may be able to attend - I just sent an email out to the Sehome sailors that signed up as "yes" on the regatta signup sheet. Please find and respond to that email ASAP. 

Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks,

Cooper 

Silverdale TR Regatta documents and pairs

Good Morning,

It's been a bit since we have attended a team race regatta and I wanted to go over some TR-specific stuff.

1. Sailors are in teams of 6, 3 pairs each. We will have two teams attending this regatta (listed below). Teams will compete 3vs3 against other schools.

2. This regatta is split into two events - gold and silver. Scores and rotations will be separate for each fleet and are available on Techscore. We have one team in each.

3. Rotations are not like fleet racing. Teams will only sail one race at a time and then go back to the dock to rotate. 60% of the time, sailors have to immediately go back out on the water and do another race. 30% of the time, sailors have a quick 5-10 min break to water/snack/bathroom. 10% of the time, sailors will have a 20-30 minute break to go back to our tent and rest. In general, sailors will be spending more time on the water than a fleet race regatta, and will not have as much time to chill under the tent. Rotations are linked below.

Sailing Instructions - Please Read

Racing Rules of Sailing - Read through Appendix D - Team Racing Rules (Page 87 through 91ish) on your drive down. It shouldn't have anything surprising, but it's nice to see how the rules are actually written.

Cool regatta viewing opportunity this Friday

Hi sailors,

WWU and UW sailing teams are hosting West Coast Women's Team Race Champs on Friday out of Zuanich Point Park. I recommend (if you have the time) to go down and watch some high level team racing! Teams in attendance: Cal Poly SLO, San Diego State University, Stanford University (national champs for the last 2 year!), UC Berkeley, UC Santa Barbara, University of Hawai'i, UW, & WWU. There might be opportunities to talk to student leadership or coaches about their sailing programs. Things should start around 11AM and I'm not sure how late they are racing.

Best,

Cooper
