Laser District 12

 This just in from your host at SSC- “starting clinic on the water at 2 pm on Friday (May 30th) with multiple small races.  That evening between 6:00 and 6:30 PM we will gather at the Bona Bella Yacht Club for dinner/social hour.”

Directions to Bona Bella YC from Sail Harbor (Laser launch site):    Mapquest map

Thats right folks, in just over two weeks from now SSC will be hosting the D-12 Grand Prix for Standard rigs. This is open to Radials and 4.7s as well, and counts toward your championship series scores!       Contact Charlie Usher for housing needs, email and phone # are on the NOR.        

Last Year 34 lasers turned out for a regatta during TS Barry.  RC held one hell of a race on Saturday, if you missed it, I wish you could have heard the rigging singing at the marina, and Charlie’s singing at the party Saturday night!                                                         

 NOR is here:    http://www.savannahsailingcenter.org/racing.htm

I hear several people and juniors are “training” on Wednesday evenings.  I hope all of you have had a chance to go sailing since Beaufort!

Larry and Sue are getting ready for another great event - Lowcountry Regatta June 21-22.  New this year - 3 race courses instead of just 2 as in previouos years.  This should drastically improve the quality of racing for all fleets.For NOR, Registration and a list of Who’s Racing.  http://www.byscnet.com/

They will be having a terrific welcome party Friday night, their famous Lowcountry Boil dinner Saturday and a live band!

The first CYC Ocean Race Day of the season is this Saturday May 3, 11:00 am start, with 3 races scheduled.  This Saturday also doubles as the Dorman Cup and the winner of the largest fleet will be the winner of the Dorman Cup. Last year we only had one more boat than the Lightning fleet.   Lets make sure a Laser wins again this year!The Club has invited any member of Laser District 12 to race in the ocean series.  To be a member of D12 you have to do is join the Laser Class and declare D12 as your district.  This pretty much means anybody with a Laser willing to join the Laser class can sail, so spread the word.  We can figure out a way for you to join the class Saturday morning if necessary. 

If you don’t have it already, here is the website for the CYC sailing schedule.  In addition to the ocean series, there is a sound series on Tues nights each month with 6:15pm starts, starting May 20th.  Funsail every Thursday at 6:15, and other events through the season.       http://www.carolinayachtclub.org/sailingschedule.html 

See you Saturday Martin Willard 182806
