Alright, now it’s HOT 🥵! For Week 4 our spring series. The forecast is calling for mid 80s but SUNNY with winds around 13-17 mph gusting 25. Lake is reportedly warm…
With winds like this make sure you are prepared with a RIGHTING LINE, and confident that you can right your own boat… More than likely we will NOT have a chase boat. And it is difficult for race committee to lift anchor to try to help people get righted in between races. Be aware you will be at the mercy of others if you do flip and cannot right your own boat.
And if you see somebody in trouble and you have crew you can of course at your option help them.
First start sequence begins at 6:30 PM
Dave Dunlap is RC this week so thanks in advance for the effort Dave!
Fair Winds-
Members who have not paid their 2021 membership fees will be dropped from series sailing results after they have sailed 1 week as a non-member (unpaid). Once results have been eliminated from the series results for non-payment, they will be lost. We have now completed our first week of actual racing (but are in our 3rd week of the season). Please get your membership forms and fees to Faith Akert before next week!
Click on the ALCA Membership Form item on the header above to get the proper Membership Form. If you are unsure of what fees are from the form, contact Faith Akert.
Good News Everyone!
It’s finally forecasted to be warmer! Tuesday is week 3 of our spring series. The forecast is calling for mid 70s but SUNNY with winds around 9 mph gusting 15….The feels like temp (windchill) is predicted to be around 73 degrees. The water more than likely will feel warmer but a wetsuit may still be a good idea this early in the season.

Due to the 55 Degree water temperature and similar air temperature, racing is being cancelled for the tonight, Week #2, May 11, 2021. As a result there will be no Zoom Results meeting.
We will again be meeting via Zoom meeting to dispense the results after racing on Tuesday, May 11, 2021. Planned time for the Zoom room to “open up” is 8:00 PM. If we get cancelled due to weather or other conditions, there will be no Zoom meeting.

The series (be they what they are) results for Spring 2021 Portsmouth A & B fleets are posted on the Series Results page. If you are a current paid member and your name is NOT on either roster, please contact Andy Lenczycki.
Alright everyone, round 2.
Tomorrow is week 2 of our spring series, I think we are in a little better condition this week than last. The forecast is calling for mid 50s but SUNNY with winds 10 to 12 mph gusting 14… The water more than likely hasn’t had much of a chance to warm since last week when the temp was reported to be 60 degrees by shore. It feels like temp (windchill) is predicted to be around 48 degrees. All that being said, make sure to check Facebook/email for potential cancellations and if we do race make sure to dress appropriately and be safe.
Please dress warm!
Inexperienced sailors please come out with a crew while it’s cold like this.

Summer is coming! (eventually)
Fair Winds-
Race Chair for the week Dave Dunlap, has made a determination that due to the overall low temperature of the air and water, we are CANCELLED for ALCA racing tonight.
We need to factor in the safety and comfort of the race committee personnel, as well the fact that there is a 10-15 MPH wind present and if anyone goes over, the thermal exposure will be on the extreme side.
There will be no resulting Zoom Results meeting as a result.
Let’s all hope for a great Week #2!
Welcome back everyone!
Tuesday (5/4/21) marks the start of our spring series, and we will have some very spring like weather this week too. The forecast is calling for low to mid 50s overcast with winds around 13 mph gusting a little higher… the water temp was reported to be 60 degrees by shore. The “feels like” temp (windchill) is predicted to be around 50 degrees. All that being said make sure to check Facebook/email for potential cancellations and if we do race make sure to dress appropriately and be safe.
