We are all set for racing Tuesday – with race chair Jesse Ward, Dave and Gail’s boat and with Gail and Keith running the races, so all we need now is for mother nature to cooperate. It does look promising, the rain is going to end, and they’re predicting that we’ll have partly sunny skies with WNW winds at around 7 mph at 6 pm. We meet at Brewster’s following the races.

Summer Series Week 6 – Aug 9, 2016
Attention 2016 members and friends of ALCA:
For the two Tuesdays following tomorrow (August 16th and 23rd) the Race Committee is in dire need of a boat from which to run the races. If we don’t have a boat, then RACING WILL BE CANCELLED until August 30th. We are all set for tomorrow, thank you Dave and Gail!
Tuesday night looks light and variable – again, maybe the weatherman will be wrong, let’s hope……. A big thanks going out to Andy and Julie for hosting the dinner after the float party! What a great time on the water AND off, and wonderful food! So much so that we are gathering there again after or instead of sailing for taco leftovers from our float party yesterday. Rumor has it that we’ll be watching Olympic sailing. BYOB. Address is : 9833 Woodlawn Drive.
See you Tuesday
Summer Series Week 5 – August 2, 2016
Well if we didn’t have enough of the light and variable last week, guess what – we are supposed to have it AGAIN tonight. Stayed tuned for updates on the race status, which will be posted on the Facebook page. Statistician Andy Lenczycki will not be around, so if we do race, results will be posted on the website late tonight. We have the room at Brewster’s, however, not until later. As they’ve done in the past when we are early, we have a table in the main section.
We have wonderful weather predicted for this Sunday’s Float party. If you haven’t done so already, please RSVP to myself or Julie so we know how much smoked meat to order from Barrett’s. We can arrange for rides out to the flotilla if we know you need one!
Reminder: Annual Fleet Dues Were Due in May!
Just a final reminder that fleet members that haven’t paid their annual dues (that were due in May) will not be scored until they are members in good standing. Give Faith and Kathy a break and bring you check or cash to Brewsters THIS Tuesday night!
Summer Series Week 4 – July 26, 2016
For this week’s sailing, we’re looking at a summer night of weather, 86 degrees and mostly sunny, with northwest winds at 5-10 mph. At least that’s today’s forecast for Tuesday. We meet at Brewster’s after the racing, for results, and at least for this week, some entertainment as we will replay the races from LVACWS Portsmouth 16 that just finished earlier today (Sunday).
As a note – if anyone finds themselves not being able to sail this week (or any other) and wants to come onto the committee boat, PLEASE contact our PRO Jerry Mohney.
Float party is Sunday August 7th, details to follow very soon! Get out your Jello and pudding shot recipes and clear room in your freezers and refrigerators……….time to get ready for the festivities!
Summer Series Week 3 – July 19, 2016
Tuesday is the 3rd week of the summer series, and hopefully the weather will cooperate, unlike last week. Forecast is for a beautiful summer day, sunny with a high of 87, with west /northwest winds at 5 to 10 mph. After sailing we go to Brewsters’.
Sign up lists for race committee boat, race chairmen, and race committee staff have been emailed to everyone. Please look these over and sign up if you can. We are still in need of a boat for August 2nd and August 9th. If we do not have a boat for the race committee, racing will be cancelled!
Summer Series Week 1 – June 28, 2016
We do race tomorrow as it is the start of summer series, and have next week off for the bye week. Also, wanted to let everyone know that I am filling in for Jerry as PRO for tomorrow, since he and Lori will be in Ann Arbor to welcome in the birth of their second grandbaby. Any questions about cancellations should go to me, either by e-mail, katsail.mi@gmail.com, or text/phone: 269.598.7817.
However, it does look like a pleasant night to sail tomorrow, with temperatures in the low 70’s and NNW winds at 8-10 mph. We go to Brewster’s following racing.
For the next Tuesday, July 5th, we have nothing formal scheduled, however, some folks will rig and sail on Austin Lake anyway, weather permitting. If you think you’ll sail, post on our Facebook page, and others might be encouraged to get out as well. There also may be a small gathering at a place TBD.
That’s it for now – remember – no Jerry tomorrow, direct any questions to me!
Unofficial Spring Series Results 2016 Posted
The currently posted results for the Spring 2016 Series racing are not yet official. Once verification of all paid members and help (HLP) points has been completed the ‘UNOFFICIAL’ will be removed from the text below each fleet result sheet, and a post will be made noting that the results are official.
Spring Series Week 8 (of 8) – June 21, 2016
Hard to believe, Tuesday is the final week of Spring series. We will be looking at sunny skies, with a high of 80 degrees, and WNW winds of 10-15 mph at race time. We go to Brewster’s after sailing.
Also remember that we start directly into Summer series next Tuesday, June 28th, then have July 5th off.
Kathy Rubino emailed out the three sign-up lists for either Race Chairmen, Race Committee, or for providing your boat to be used for the race committee, all essential parts of making our Tuesday night races possible. You will also see who thus far has volunteered their time; great thanks to all of you and also to Jerry Mohney for coordinating this group effort! Without each of these every week, we could not race. There are plenty of opportunities remaining for the summer series so that members can work together to make this happen. Please consider if you have yet to sign up!
