Welcome Brochure published for FS North Americans
on Tuesday June 19, 2007 04:29PM
1. Noel and his team have published a 20 page Welcome
Brochure which we will give you upon arrival - but it might be more fun
to have a copy in your car as you drive towards Fishing Bay. It has all the
logistical info you need, plus beautiful ads from many of our event
sponsors. You may get a copy - 6 MB download - at the bottom of the list
at the top of the NAC event web page - http://www.fbyc.net/fsnacs
specifically at http://www.fbyc.net/Events/2007/06.24.onedesign/Welcome%20Brochure%206MB
Enjoy.
2. Directions to FBYC are available at http://www.fbyc.net/Club/Directions
- maybe you should print that page too. If you have problems call me on my
cell 804-405-5999 or Noel Clinard on his cell
804-338-4066
3.
Weather - All our weather links are on our web site at http://www.fbyc.net/Club/Weather
but my favorite is http://co-ops.nos.noaa.gov/ofs/cbofs/wind_forecast.shtml which
somehow predicts the winds for the upcoming rolling 24 hours. Fishing Bay
is just below the horizontal dotted line between 37.20 and 38.00 on the western
side of the bay.
4. Press -
we now have several Press inquiries for coverage - the latest being JH Peterson
- a photographer from Sailing World Magazine. Put on your
smiles, and later your eyeglasses, to read the article!! And
we have one Flying Scot registered for the beginnings of a Spectator
Fleet.
5.
Schedule - Early Bird Registrations begin at FBYC 1300-1700 on
Saturday and resume at West Marine 0800-1700 on Sunday. Inspections are
available on both Saturday and Sunday at FBYC at the Stable. We have
9 Juniors and 6 Women set to race on Sunday Afternoon - followed by the Regatta
Officials and Competitors Procession - a not to be missed event - at 1745
at FBYC, followed by a Reception and dinner. And Championship
and Challenger Classes begin racing on Monday.
6.
Merchandising - Hopefully Noel will have plenty of
his various unique regatta apparel items on site
- hats, polos, and both Flying Scot and 2007 NAC logo neckties from
vineyard vines - all at the FBYC store. Personalization is also
available. Plus Coral Reef Sailing Apparal will have a on-site store
operating during the event.
