Hey Everyone!

I wanted to give you a Winter laser sailing update.

Beaufort is still meeting on most Sunday afternoons about 12:30 weather providing. I saw an e-mail from Wrightsville that they have just finished a winter Sailing event, and I have heard chatter that Savannah has been trying to get some organized sailing going on the weekends. If anyone would like me to post official results or meeting times please e-mail them to me.

We also have some National events coming up in February down in Florida. Please go to www.laser.org for more info on these regattas.

Bottom line is No Excuses even though it is winter outside there is sailing close by you.

Eric Reitinger District 10 secretary has asked me to post the following regatta information:

The NOR for the Laser Master’s Nationals is up. It’s also very early but better to get it out early. It can be found here: http://www.bbyc.net/LaserMasters/

We are trying to offer housing for those traveling so email early.

Thanks,
Eric (D10)

PS remember to join the class for this years regattas!

Hello Everyone,

Last weekend we had the final D-12 regatta of the year at the Columbia Sailing Club. After 7 races the top 3 winners were.

Full Rig

1rst   John Potter

2nd   Genn Walker

3rd   Rolfe Glover

Radials

1rst   Avery Fanning

2nd   Peter Hogan

3rd   William Livernois

2011 overall results were as follows.

1rst overall Full rig/Overall Master/and Master div        John Potter

1rst  Junior/ Overall Radial   Avery Fanning

1rst Grand Master  Joel Lambinus

1rst Great Grand Master Finn Hassing

Please note that there was no Top Female, 4.7, or Apprentice Master because no one qualified by sailing in at least 3 of the 5 regattas. I hope all of you will remember this next year there are trophies out there  to be had.

The Carrie Rohde  award was also handed out to john Potter. For those of you who don’t know about this award it is to be awarded to the person who puts the most effort into promoting laser sailing in D-12. The award was thought up by Peter Gamble as a way recognize Carrie Rohde for all she has done for D-12 and those who follow.

I would also like to report on the year end meeting we had Saturday night.  There was a round table discussion as to how we could best run D-12 Laser Class and increase participation for the 2012 season. We came to the conclusion that the Secretary’s job needed to be divided up among several people so that no one person got overwhelmed. So the duties were split up with the following people in charge:

Membership     John Potter

Scheduling        Charlie Usher

Scoring               J.T. Hughes

Facebook           Rolfe Glover

Secretary          Butch Mumma

If anyone has additional thoughts or comments please e-mail them to me at brmumma@gmail.com

Congratulations to all this years winners

Butch

Big things are happening in district 12. Over the last few years through hard work and training by our sailors and the support of our local clubs, sailing schools and of course the dedication of parents, District 12 is really starting to get noticed on the race course.

Charleston D-12

Attached are the results from Charleston. Splitting out the fleet only affected the Rohde clan. Dan ended up losing out to Peter and Dana moved into a tie with Rolfe but lost the tiebreaker.

It is time to go sailing again and Beaufort is the first D-12 event on

the schedule. We know its a tough economy out there so we have done

everything we can to keep the cost down, yet still put on a great

regatta. We ditched the T-shirt (you probably have a drawer full of

regatta shirts anyway). However, we did keep the steak and taters

dinner along with a light breakfast on Sat and Sun. For those of you

wondering… John and I have not completely lost it, so there will be a

couple of kegs behind the bar.

Where else are you going to get all this for $40.00? You can save yourself

$15.00 by going to our website http://www.byscnet.com and registering

before March 20. Hope to see you in Beaufort!

Butch
