Sailing Team Update

Cascadia Cup Recap
Great job to everyone at Cascadia Cup this last weekend.  The large fleet, puffy and shifty winds, put a big emphasis on getting a good start and having clean air on the first beat.  We will keep practicing to perfect this.  The results can be found here: http://scores.hssailing.org/f15/cascadia-cup/.

Etchells Regatta
This weekend there will be a small regatta with only a couple high school teams who have keelboat experience.  They will race etchells in Bellingham Bay and the winner will go to a national regatta in Florida.  If you would like to help out let me know.

BYC Youth Sailing Salmon Dinner
This Saturday there will be a Salmon Dinner at the BYC with proceeds going to the BYC Youth Sailing program.  This is a great event with really good salmon.  Since most of you are on the BYC Race Team you should definitely attend.  Cost is $20 for adults, $10 for youth.  I know homecoming is happening, but parents should attend.  Sign up here: http://byc.org/3rd-annual-bornstein-allsop-salmon-bbq/

Orcas Team Race Regatta
Oct 24-25 is a team race regatta on Orcas Island.  Entries will be limited at this regatta, so not everyone on our team will be able to sail.  I have registered 3 teams which would be the following sailors: Liam, Nick, Jacob F, Hannah, Benj, Shea, Quinn, Peyton, Mallory, Lera, Hailey, Chase, Maia, Kristoff, Casey, Sean, Jack, Chai, Jacob W., Colby., Kristyle, and Cole H.
However, the last group in red, starting with Casey, will not be able to go if we have to reduce down to only 2 teams.  I will know whether this will happen or not by Monday at 7:30pm and let you know.
Housing is still being worked out. If you can drive please let me know.  NOR and waiver can be found here: http://nwisa.hssailing.org/schedule/nwisa14-15/schedule/nwisa-s

Gig Harbor Open
Our last regatta of the fall will be the Gig Harbor Open Regatta on Nov 7th.  Everyone will be able to attend this regatta.  It was going to be in Poulsbo, WA, but now it will be held in Gig Harbor. Just a one day regatta.  Drivers will be needed.  And likely a couple tow vehicles.
