The Laser Fleet at Fishing Bay welcomes you to come join us this Sunday, July 27th, for our club one-day Summer race. The weather looks perfect for a Summer day of Laser Sailing - 90 and mostly sunny, wind from the SW at 8-10. Water temps are a pleasant 76 degrees and the nettles are few, so it should be an ideal day to be on the water. We will have a mix of skilled and veteran sailors out there, so no matter what your skill level, we look forward to seeing you there. Of course, the pool is open, if you want to bring the family. We also have plenty of other kid-friendly entertainment options. And we can set up …

Here's a quick preview video of the sailing done by our Juniors thus far this summer

Once Hurricane Aurthur blew through it was smooth sailing for the Flying Scots and Front Runners at the first One Design Summer Sea Breeze regatta on Saturday. What was clouds with winds in the 30's just a day before gave way to mostly sunny skies and 8-10 knot winds for 4 races run by PRO Mike Dale and his race committee. Thanks to Veronica Hinckle for some pictures.

As of 6:00 am the forecast is still for northwest winds at 30 mph. I truly regret that we must cancel the Long Distance race scheduled for today. The weather should improve by this afternoon so plan on attending the cookout!

We have been closely watching the track of Hurricane Arthur and will continue to do so to determine if we can safely conduct the Long Distance race scheduled for Friday. I expect to make a final decision by 8:00 am tomorrow morning and any changes to the program will be posted on the front page of the website. Thank you for your patience and please remember that even if there is not a race there will still be a great party that you will not want to miss!

In anticipation of somewhat breezy conditions possible for the Long Distance race this Friday we have changed the NOR to add an additional course #5 to the event. This course will be sailed entirely in Fishing Bay and not around Stove Point. Given the forecast of northerly winds this should give a protected venue for fun safe racing! The new course #5 is as follows:
