Parents- Need Drivers

Hello Sailors and Parents,

We need drivers for this weekend! It is our last northwest regatta of the season, and it should be a great one! Team racing is an exciting and challenging sport, plus it's close to Halloween, so everyone will be dressed up! Should be a great regatta.

Right now, we have Scott and Shawn Buhler who can drive 7 kids back up on Sunday, but not down on Saturday. If anyone would only be able to come for Saturday, please let us know as we might be able to work something out with this! Other then that, we have no drivers! Let me know if you are able to drive. 

Thank you! 

Mallory

Our last northwest regatta of the season is McCurdy Cup, Oct 29 and 30th at Seattle Yacht Club. This is a team race regatta in V15s. The entry fee is $30 and includes a dinner at SYC on Saturday night. Please bring food/money for lunch and breakfast. The following sailors are signed up:
Victoria 
John
Elsa
Jay 
Garrett
Cassie
Kara
Christian
Jack
Sawyer
Ben 
Liam
Robyn
Miles
Riley A.
Zoe
Nick

You must let us know by Wednesday if you are on the list and are not coming, or are not on the list and are coming. Since this is a team race regatta, one person deciding to drop out last minute will affect many other sailors.

Parents- please let us know if you can drive. Scott and I will be in Seattle already, so will not be able to bring sailors down to this regatta. We do not need to tow any boats for this regatta.

Thank you!

Mallory


Cascadia Cup Results


Cascadia Cup
Sail Sand Point and University of Washington
October 22-23, 2011

FINAL RESULTS

REGATTA HIGHLIGHTS: 14 College and 9 High School sailing teams shared the
waters of Lake Washington in Seattle this past weekend. Racing got underway
Saturday morning at 10:15 in a light North breeze that died at the end of
race 2. After a short postponment, B-Division set sail in a patchy South
breeze. By the end of race 2B the forcasted southerly had filled in to a
solid 10-12 knots with lots of puffs and shifts. By 4:45 6 races had been
completed in each division.

Saturday evening sailors enjoyed a college sailing forum where NW High School
sailors were educated on college sailing and the local collegiate sailing
programs. The big message was that there are lots of programs out there
and there are lots of people willing to help you find the right program that
fits your academic and sailing goals.

Sunday morning sailors arrived to a calm Lake Washington. A South breeze
finally filled at 11:30 and the RC managed to get a single race in before the
wind shut off again. 30 minutes later B-Division hit the water in a shifty
5 knot southerly. They quickly completed two races and it was A-Division
out for the final race to even the series. RC struggled to get a fair race
completed recalling more than one race as wind shut off and shifted. A final
race was managed in a very light and unstable South breeze. And of course,
a perfect Northerly filled just as the last few boats were finishing the
final race!

All courses were Windward Leewards with 3 and 4 legs. One breakdown was
awarded. And a big thanks is on order for the wonderful Sand Point
parent volunteers who kept the HS sailors well fed all weekend.
Thanks to RC volunteers: Kim Zehnder (UW '04), Taylor Hubbard (UW '10),
Nino Johnson (UW '10), and Alex Jones (UW '06) for their work in challenging
conditions. Thanks to Kyle Eaton for running the college forum. And thanks
to Sail Sand Point and the University of Washington Sailing Teams for
hosting the Cascadia Cup once again.

Congratulations to UW for being the top College team. And Congratulations
to NK/Kingston HS for topping the High School fleet.

Cascadia Cup

Hello sailors,

Cascadia Cup is this weekend, Oct. 22nd and 23rd at Sail Sand Point in Seattle. This is a great regatta to attend, as both high school and college teams will be there. College teams will be happy to answer any questions about their schools and their sailing programs. Most likely, they will run high school sailors and college sailors on the same start, which is a good opportunity for more competition! Plus, you will get to race against Lily and Ryan. :) There will be a $25 entry fee- please bring exact change. This covers Sat and Sun lunch and Sun breakfast. Please bring extra money for dinner on Saturday night. We will be staying in a building at Magnuson Park with the rest of the high school sailors. Please bring a sleeping bag, pillow and pad. Please bring a bailer

Those signed up: 
Jack
Christian
Kara
Mac
Sawyer
Ben
Liam
Garrett
Robyn
Miles
Riley A.
Zoe
Shannon
Nick
Amy
Elise

Please let us know ASAP if you are on the list and can't make it, or if you aren't on the list and would like to come. As mentioned before, we know this is homecoming weekend for many of you. We are okay with you leaving on Saturday afternoon and returning Sunday morning. Please let us know if you plan on doing this so we can plan accordingly. 

Parents- please let us know if you can drive! Let us know if you have a vehicle that can tow or trailers available to use. Thank you!

San Francisco and BYC Letters

First off, the team going to San Francisco in a few weeks will be Robyn, Elsa, Zoe, Jack, Miles, and Ben.  For those who did not get selected there will be more travel opportunities this winter, so please keep showing your interest.

Also, a few parents have asked about letters received recently from the BYC.  To clarify, none of the team fees you paid this September went towards a BYC youth membership, so if you would like a membership with them you are your own to get that.  In the past years we had part of the team fees go to the BYC for insurance and a youth membership, but as of this summer Whatcom Sailing has its own insurance, so that money goes to our program to pay for insurance. We are working on a relationship with the BYC for future years hoping to get members of our team a discounted membership and access to BYC boats.  We will keep you posted as things get worked out.  But for now, any BYC youth memberships you want are up to you and not a requirement for being on the team.  If you have any questions please let us know.
