Whatcom Sailing Schedule

Hi Everyone,

With about a month remaining on our Spring Season, I wanted to go over the last couple events.

Silver Fleet Race Champs @ Anacortes May 3/4 

We will be sending everyone that we can to this event. If you are also attending Gold FR Champs the following weekend and want to sail at Silver FR Champs, you will have to sail your off position. e.g. if you crew at Silver, then you have to skipper at Gold, if you plan on going to both. 

Gold Fleet Race Champs @ Columbia River Gorge May 10/11

This event is the one that teams qualify for at ranking regattas. Bellingham High School qualified. Both Sehome and Squilcum are on the waiting list if any other teams drop from this event. Sehome is 2nd and Squalicum is 3rd on the list. 

Golden Bailer Regatta @ Bellingham May 13

Some might say this is the most important regatta all year. We will be hosting the Golden Bailer Regatta on May 13 at practice. 

Final Practice May 15

Putting away boats day. 

End of Season Party - Date TBD 

We are starting to plan our End of Season Party. The date is not set but will most likely be the weekend of May 17/18 or sometime in the following week. Let us know if you would like to host, help plan, or have a time conflict. 

Thank you everyone for a great season so far! 

Best,

Cooper 

Gold Team Race Spectating this weekend

Hi everyone,

Last call for any sailors/parents that want to come watch the team racing this weekend at Zuanich. It's a great opportunity for sailors to watch high level team racing. Just let me know if you are going to be around or want to help out. 

I hope everyone is having a great spring break! 

Best,

Anna 

Re: Team Race in Bham this weekend

Ah shoot. Attached the volunteer doc instead of the notice of race on accident. Here's the notice of race: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1JXYyeM7M5uelGnS7ki7B3ZNTTuip5PIHAfOomXPod-A/edit?usp=sharing

Please let me know if you have any questions!

Best,

Anna

Hi everyone,

Happy Spring break!

We are hosting the gold team race qualifier race this Saturday and Sunday, April 12-13th at Zuanich. Here is the Notice of Race, which includes the schedule for this weekend: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1lZFxamfVAcDps0jS8sHKOoW6S20XwJHLd5z_sPR7vsM/edit?usp=sharing.

Because of the timing of this event with spring break, we sadly do not have enough skippers to form a team racing team for either gold or silver, and will not be able to compete. However, I strongly encourage sailors that are in town to come out for one or both days to watch and help with racing. 

We have two umpires this weekend that have offered a ride along to any high school sailors who are familiar with the racing rules of sailing sections A and B. This is a super cool learning opportunity and I would love for a couple of our sailors who are in town to take part if possible, even if you can only make it one of the days.

Any parents and sailors interested in being involved on or off the water please reach out to me ASAP. I am sending out the volunteer logistics document to all volunteers. If you plan to volunteer and talked to me already but did not get sent the Volunteer logistics, please follow up. 

Best,

Anna
