Photos

Hi everyone,

I wanted to share some awesome photos taken at the last two regattas, plus some photos taken by Cooper and I at practice. 

Oz's dad Adam Resnick took photos at both the North Regionals and Cascadia Cup regattas, and has shared his smugmug photo albums for both:

Thank you Adam!

BHS Sailor Emma Moore and WWU sailors Carolyn Harmon and Malcom Duncan-Graves also took photos at North Regionals, which we have added to the Fall 2024 Whatcom Sailing Photo Drive. Thank you to all three of them for their photos as well!

And finally, Cooper has been taking photos at practice to show sailors how their maneuvers look from an outside perspective. We will continue to periodically update this photo drive to share feedback photos taken at practice, as well as photos taken at regattas. 

Thank you again to those who took and shared photos! If anyone else has photos that they would like me to add, or if you have any questions, please let me know.

Best,

Anna

Re: Cascadia Cup in Two Days!

Good morning everyone,

Thank you for the responses on carpools! We are all sorted now and the regatta signup spreadsheet is updated- any parents originally signed up to drive are still driving the same number of sailors: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/11I6siGsA7Rv1akjqlePjGLAvvKmJ6aHjiJ0IaVjm8to/edit

Thank you again to everyone who is driving down this weekend. We couldn't do it without you. 

We'll go over final details with sailors today but please let us know if you have any other questions. 

Best,

Anna

Hi team,

Cascadia Cup, our first away regatta, is this weekend at Sail Sand Point in Seattle. We are excited to bring 18 sailors and 4 total teams! There will be a total of 43 high school teams there, plus some college teams, so it is a huge event.

Sailors (18): 

Adham, Adrien, Ajax, Atticus, August, Avery, Axel, Bella, Dawson, Emmett, Grace, Hans, James, Marin, Max, Oz, Tristan, and Tyce (18 Sailors).

Carpools:

Sailors are assumed to need a carpool unless otherwise written in the signups. Sailors are not assigned to specific carpools beforehand- we just make sure there are enough seats in cars and sailors sort themselves into cars Saturday morning. 

Carpool drivers and sailors will meet at the Sehome/Samish Way Haggen's at 7:45AM on Saturday, and 7:00AM Sunday. Carpools are driving there and back both days. End time Saturday is variable/weather dependent.

As a nontraditional sport, we rely on parents to help transport the team and boats to and from away events, so we really appreciate all parents who are volunteering to do so this weekend!

Drivers - Neuman (4 & towing), Norwood (1), Vondrell (3), Resnick (3), Brewin (2) and Cooper (4 & towing). (17 Spots**) 

**If anyone who is signed up already can drive ONE ADDITIONAL SAILOR, or any parents are planning on driving their own sailor and did not list it on the spreadsheet, please let us know ASAP because we are currently short one seat.

Fees:

$30 total for the weekend: $10/Sailor fee for registration, paid to coaches (who then pay the regatta host) $10/sailor for lunch for the weekend, and recommended $10/sailor gas donation to your carpool driver for the weekend. 

Cash or Venmo for the fees- please give registration fee to coaches by Thursday. If these fees are a barrier for your family, please let the coaches know and we will provide a scholarship.

Lunch:

Sailors are responsible for their own breakfast both days and should bring a water bottle. Dawson's mom Lorena is providing lunch both days for sailors, which is covered by the $10 lunch fee. Thank you Lorena!

Schedule/Address/NOR:

Notice of Race includes the racing schedule, address of the sailing venue, and more. Sailors and parents please read it!

Coach:

Cooper (360) 815-9941. Coach Anna will be there but is racing for WWU.

Please let us know if you have any other questions!

Cascadia Cup Info October 12th/13th

Hi Team,

Cascadia Cup is next weekend and is our first big regatta. It is a joint high school and college regatta, so sailors will race against Anna. Competition will be tough! We plan on having a varsity team from Bellingham, Sehome, Squalicum, and a mixed JV team.

Drivers - Neuman (4 & towing), Norwood (1), Vondrell (3), Resnick (3), and Cooper (4 & towing). (15 Spots) 

If anyone else can drive a carpool, let me know because we could use another driver. It's okay to only commit to one day of driving if that is all you can offer. Please note that we plan to drive back to Bham on Saturday night. So you are signing up for two trips to Seattle and back. 

Fees - $10/Sailor fee for registration. Recommended $10/sailor gas donation to your carpool driver for the weekend. Cash or Venmo for the registration fee. 

Housing - No housing, planning on driving back to Bham Saturday night.

Re: Bellingham North Regional Regatta October 5th & 6th

Good evening everyone,

We have SeaFeast going on this weekend as well, in the parking lot area near the Fisherman's Pavilion, so parking will be extremely limited and some parking areas are closed. We'll have to utilize the area near the Squalicum Boathouse and likely use the loading zone to drop off sailors and items and then park elsewhere. I have included a link here which shows a map of the parking lot: https://www.bellinghamseafeast.org/overview SeaFeast Map . Please note there are also booths along parts of the pathway, so all of the teams will be setting up our tents near the dock to keep separate from the vendor tents. I'll let you all know if anything changes or if I have any more updates on parking and SeaFeast! 

The regatta will happen as normal, same schedule as listed in the NOR (linked here) in the previous email. 

10am report time Saturday and 9am report time Sunday, although if you are worried about parking I would give it some extra time so sailors can be at the dock ready to go by report time.

The visiting teams are also in the loop about SeaFeast parking and will be launching their boats on Friday night to avoid any parking lot traffic jams on Saturday morning. 

Please let me know if you have any questions!

Best,

Anna
