Come join us for the Annual Fourth of July Cookout! This cookout is for everyone, not just racers! (But remember, it’s on July 2nd this year.) The cookout starts at 2 PM. The menu includes hot dogs, hamburgers, and yummy picnic side dishes! There will be beverages, sodas, lemonade, and an ice cream bar. We will have games for adults and kids, music, and lots more. Bring your picnic blanket, lawn chair, and an umbrella for shade!
Adults are $10, kids 12 and under are $5, adult non-members are $15.
This year’s Junior Regatta will consist of two days of racing with approximately three to five races per day. There will be three separate courses:
1) Laser Radials; Laser 4.7’s; 420’s
2) Optimist Red/Blue/White (as defined by USODA)
3) Optimist Green (as defined by USODA)
In addition to the separate course, the Opti Green fleet will also receive coaching and an instructional clinic. One dinner and a free tee shirt are provided to each participant if they preregister prior to June 19. Online registration is available by clicking here.
Members Dave and Caroline Keys, Bill and Claire Prior, Nancy Harrison, and Dean Smith learned the ropes (and the lines, and the sheets) and are eager to get back behind the tiller whenever they can. Said Nancy, "I love being able to take out a boat on my own!"
Thanks to CNU graduate and sailing team member Laura Kilgore for teaching the classes...and keeping her cool when the J24 had engine trouble while going into Jackson Creek. And thanks to Chilcott and her crew for giving them a tow!
The Club boats are easy to reserve and the cost for the entire family is only $100 for an entire season. Click here to sign up …
Registration is open for all J/70 Friday Night races.
