Laser Sailor gets run over by Tour Boat.

Alerted by D12 Sailors from Charleston area about the need to be careful in Charleston Harbor. There is a lot of commercial traffic there , so keep your eyes open. Fortunately it looks like this laser sailor escaped relatively unharmed. Check the story. Despite that incident Charleston Harbor is a great place to sail, particularly when the seabreeze finds its way into the harbor. That said lets see big numbers of full and particularly radial rigs at CYC - SC’s open regatta this weekend. This regatta counts for radial grand prix points and towards the D12 Radial Championship Series trophy. Check out the NOR. See you in Charleston this weekend.

The following weekend the 3rd in the D12 Championship Series will be held in conjunction with CYC-NC’s open regatta. Hopefully the seabreeze will bless Wrightsville as well. Online registration is open. Come on and go surfing with your fellow D12 sailors in the Atlantic.

Check out the picture below and you’ll see D12 laser sailors Patrick Wilson and Josh Putnam in some very elite company as they represent the US at the Pan Am Games in Rio sailing on a J24. Go guys. Follow them on the this website.

260 kids are sailing 4.7’s at the 4.7 Europeans in Ireland. Parents think about this rig for your kids its the future for junior sailors. We do have a 4.7 trophy up for grabs in D12. So far , no takers , but we have three races left.
