Re: Octoberfest

Also, we need at least one more driver. Let me know if you can drive.  So far we have Steve, Jeff Weston, Tom Malone, and Scott Walker driving.  Let me know if you can tow boats as we will need to get a lot of them down there.

DJOD this Weekend

Sailing Team,

This weekends regatta is DJOD on Bellingham Bay hosted by the BYC.  It is Saturday and Sunday. There will be multiple fleets of boats, but our team will race in FJs and Lasers.  The cost is $45 for a laser and $65 for an FJ (split between the two).  I have registered you all in the pairs below, so you don't need to worry about that.  You will need to bring your entry fee to registration on Saturday morning.  Lasers bring $45 and FJs bring $32.5 in cash or check made out the BYC.  Entry fee includes dinner Saturday and Sunday.

Schedule:
Thursday at practice we will load boats.  We have a lot of boats to load so if you can stay later that would be great to load them all.  We will need to make multiple trips to load and unload the boats, so we will likely have to load again on Friday also.   I want all FJs down at the launch by Friday evening, we can put masts up then so Saturday morning goes quicker.

Saturday morning we will meet at the BYC downstairs at 8:45am.
Competitors meeting is at 9:00am
After skippers meeting we will go to boats and rig and launch.
Racing Starts at 11am.  Racing will go until around 4 or 5 on Saturday.  
There will be dinner saturday night at the BYC, included with your entry fee.
Sunday we will meet at 9:00am at the boats.
Sunday racing will start at 10:30 and go till 2:30.
After racing sunday there will be dinner and awards at the BYC at 5pm.

Boat Cleaning / JAM Regatta

Team,

BOAT CLEANING:

Tomorrow at 11am the WWU sailing team is meeting to do some maintenance and washing of the FJs.  It would be great if you could make it.  The more people we have the faster it will go.  Please come if you can.

JAM REGATTA

Next weekend is the JAM regatta.  It is not on the official team schedule, and there will not likely be an FJ fleet, however there will be Laser and Opti Fleets and possibly a 29er fleet.  If you would like to go please let me know ASAP. NOR is here. Registration is here.

Thanks,
