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!

Best,

Anna and Cooper
