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.

Let us know if you have any questions.

They sail every 30-60 minutes and we are planning on arriving early enough to increase our chances of making it on the ferry we want, but there is a chance that our plans could be sped up or delayed based on the ferries.

**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.

See you shortly at 4:30pm the Sehome Haggens!

Best,

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.

Thank you also to the sailors who have viewed the Vashon Regatta Planning Spreadsheet and signed their name on it confirming they know what to bring and the plan for the weekend: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/16qth04m0lWlBoCBtRFF19DI1TXt4lC2IgmFxsi7VnW8/edit?usp=sharing
