Octoberfest & Club Sport

Sailors,

Next weekend is Octoberfest.  The following are going: Elsa, Miles, Jeffery, Lisa, Victoria, Nick, Elise, Liam, Amy, Sawyer, Riley, Ali, Liam, Lainey, Curran, Will, Greg, Hailey, Jack T, Jack W.

There will be Laser Fleets and FJ fleets and possibly v15 fleets.  I will assume everyone will sail in the FJ fleet unless you tell me otherwise.  If you have a laser you should consider sailing that has many of the other teams are planning to sail lasers and with the numbers we have we will need to bring a lot of FJs.

We will be leaving early Saturday morning and returning Sunday evening.  The cost for the weekend is $30 and additional meal tickets can be purchased for $5.  The cost includes lunches both days and dinner Saturday night.  I be staying the night down in Seattle, likely at Liams Grandpas house. 

We will need parents to drive and tow, so let me know if you can do either, and how many kids could fit in your car.  

Next topic: Starting Tuesday we are a club sport at each of the three schools. YAY! This is really cool and will come with it some benefits such as: reduced ferry fees when traveling to regattas, ability to receive a varsity letter, some school funding, ability to recruit, and displaying of championship banners when we win!

It also comes with some changes in policy to meet Bellingham School District standards.  Starting Tuesday I will be sent a list before every practice of students eligible to compete.  This will be based on grades, attendance at school that day, and if you are on the bad list or not (for breaking rules). Knowing all of you I'm sure this will not be an issue.  However, if you are not on the list, I can not let you practice.  You will have to sit on shore.   Everyone will need to fill out an athletics packet which includes waivers, get a physical exam, and purchase an ASB card.  Which I am told most of you have already.  I will bring all this stuff to practice on Tuesday for you to take home and fill out.

See you on Tuesday!

Re: DJOD This Weekend

If the website is not letting you register that's no problem.  I am sending in a list of all the teams anyway so you can just pay and fill out the registration form Saturday morning.

DJOD Regatta

Sailors/Parents,

Awesome job by everyone this weekend.  Those were tough conditions but everyone did great!  Thanks to all the parents who drove and helped with loading boats, and to the Johannessens for the coach boat.

This coming weekend is DJOD out on Bellingham Bay.  I have the following signed up so far: Elsa, Miles, Jeffrey, Nick, Elise, Liam H, Amy, Sawyer, Riley G, Ali, Liam D, Freeman, Lainey, Will, Greg, Ondrea, Jack.

I am assuming most everyone will want to sail an FJ or V15, but if you have a personal laser please let me know if you are planning to sail it or not.  Also, if you would like to try a laser let me know and we can find you one.  Otherwise we will put everyone else in a V15 or FJ depending on whats available.  

The regatta is both Saturday and Sunday, cost is $35 for lasers and $25 for doublehanded.  Remember this is not just a youth regatta, so parents should consider racing as well if interested.

Let me know if you could host out of town sailors also.

Thanks,

Scott Wilson

More JAM Details

Sailors and Parents,

Sailors please bring entry fee in cash so we can split costs for registration between alternates.  Also bring 15 dollars in cash to contribute to gas and ferry of the car you will be in.  Since we have so many cars going this weekend we should do it this way so we don't use up all the team funds in the first weekend.

LASERS: Miles, Jack, Liam (Sailing MOs Boat), Jeffrey

Opti: Brandon

V15s:

Elise Liam D

Lianey Elsa

Riley Will

Sawyer Nick

Hailey Curran

Vic Lisa

Alternates:

Ali

Freeman

Greg 

Drivers and seats:

Scott - 3 - Towing 3 boat trailer with 1 v15 and 2 lasers

John Thompson - 3 - Towing 1 laser

Teresa Werner - 1 - Towing 1 laser

Jason Everett - 4 - Towing 4 v15s 

John Holland - 3 - Towing coach boat

Magnus Collander - 3 

Tamra Paskus - 3

Halle's - 2 

For parents, there is room where we are staying for you to sleep on Saturday night with the team, but you will need to bring sleeping bag, pillow and pad just like the kids.  Also, if you are planning to watch racing I should be able to get everyone on a race committee boat, but they may put you to work.  We will have a coach boat but it will likely be filled with sailors.

If you have any other questions about this weekend please let me know,

JAM Regatta Details

This weekend is JAM.

Here's who I have signed up: Elsa, Miles, Jeffrey, Liam H, Jack, Lisa, Liam D, Hailey, Victoria, Elise, Nick, Sawyer, Riley, Ali, Freeman, Lainey, Curran and Brandon.  

The regatta is at the Port Madison Yacht Club on Bainbridge Island and its both Saturday and Sunday.  We will be leaving Saturday morning all together from the Sehome Haggens parking lot.  We will meet at Haggens at 6:30am Saturday morning.  Saturday night the team will be staying with the Greason's (Nates parents from the Bainbridge team).  Bring sleeping bag, pillow, and pad for this.  Sunday we will return in the evening.

For boats here's what I have come up with but this is open to change. It would be most helpful if those with Lasers sailed their lasers or switched with someone sailing a V15.  Since we have so many going it all depends on how many boats I can get.  Right now I have found us 6 boats so far, but I am working on finding one more.

Here's my plan so far:

Sailing there Lasers: Miles, Jack, Liam, Jeffrey (If you would rather sail a V15 arrange to trade with someone sailing a V15 already)

Sailing V15s:

Sawyer, Curran

Lainey, Elsa

Hailey, Elise

Victoria, Lisa

Riley, Will

Freeman, Liam D

Nick, Ali, Greg

Next is transportation for sailors and boats.  From Bellingham we will need to tow 4 lasers and 1 v15.  Jack if we could use your two laser trailer that would be perfect.  We could have 2 lasers on your boat and 2 lasers and 1 v15 on the 3 boat trailer.  We may also need to pick up a trailer of boats in Anacortes.  If so I will arrange one of us to go grab that.  

For drivers this weekend I have already heard from some of you, but please email me if you can drive this weekend and how many you could take.  

Things to bring: Sleeping bag, pillow, pad, sun screen, all sailing gear for warm and cold, life jacket, entry fee $40 for lasers, $30 for V15, a water bottle, and some cash for gas money and breakfast sunday morning.

Lunches will be provided both days as well as dinner Saturday night.  We might stop for dinner on the way home on Sunday.  Bring any other snacks you want.

If you have questions please let me know.
