    I havn't seen many of you since this past summer, so I thought that I'd give you an update on how college sailing has been going for me this fall. Having qualified in J-22s a month ago, this past weekend I traveled to the NY Maritime College for the ICSA Sloop National Championships.The regatta was sailing in three man crewed Flying Scots in the East River and Long Island Sound. On Friday we had very puffy conditions at around 15-20 in the East River. We got off four races and were in Sixth at the end of the day, only seven points spreading us from the leaders, Kings Point.

    Saturday brought high winds and freezing conditions. With …

If all the survivors could thank you personally they would. To them it is because of us that …

    For 2004, think about the Lloyd Phoenix Trophy.  The 2003 US SAILING OFFSHORE CHAMPIONSHIP was held in October in Annapolis and it was won by a team from Rochester, NY, Area E.  The Chesapeake Bay (CBYRA) is a part of Area C.  The skipper and crew that represented Area C (our Area) in the competition were from a J/44, Vamp (Skipper Leonard Sitar, Holmdel, NJ).  Areas A and B finished 2nd and 3rd respectively.  Area C did not get a sniff of "a place in the money."  Wouldn't it be nice if next year we could nominate a boat from the southern Bay for the Area C slot, and maybe, just maybe …
