Ok, now that everyone has recovered from tropical storm Barry its time to hit the road and go laser sailing again. Lots of activity this weekend. James Island Yacht Club is hosting their open regatta and usually has a good turn out of lasers - both full and radials. Its a great club and very sailor friendly. In addition Carolina Sailing Club-NC is hosting the 50th North Carolina Governor’s Cup on Kerr Lake. You Triangle D12 guys should check it out. Lake Lanier is also hosting their annual Reggae Regatta and already there are some lasers registered. Finally CYC-NC is running its 2nd Ocean Race of the season. So if you want to surf some waves in the ocean come on down to Wrightsville Beach.

The following weekend likewise has plenty to offer. The Oriental Dingy Club is hosting the NC Masters in Oriental. You get to sail with our masters buddies from D11 and enjoy a great sailing venue. In addition there is usually a strong laser contingent at Beaufort Yacht Clubs Lowcountry Regatta. You can not beat their Frogmore Stew.

Also not too early to make plans for the Radial Grand Prix Event to be held in conjunction with Carolina Yacht Club’s open regatta in Charleston July 28-29. Lets shoot for 40 radials on the line in Charleston Harbor. Remember this counts for the radial series but not the overall series.
