Before Opening Day

For any member who is just starting to think about sailing this year there are probably at least as many for whom the season is already well underway. Forgetting about those who have spent happy days since the snows started in the various dockyards doing whatever to their bottoms, polishing sides and top-sides, there has been ample activity at our club.

Over the past five weekends we have had two days of classroom, and two days of on-the-water race committee training. And a day of classroom training at Hampton YC for those who can't get enough. Also three days of on-the-water crew training, and a day dedicated to grounds clean-up. As a result of these efforts the club looks as good as it ever has looked, and off-shore racers are hopefully as ready as they ever have been for the Opening Weekend Regatta and the Spring series races which follow.

By now all members should have had time to check out their sailing Events book and decide on which activities that they plan to attend. Hopefully Opening day will be top of your list, with many other events to follow. All of these programs are run by volunteers, and if you want to help call one of the Race Committee, Social or Event Chairs. They'll welcome you with open arms.
