Hello everyone. Thank you to everyone who came to the spring meeting on April 23rd. It was a beautiful day and we discussed and made some very important decisions. Dave Stiemsma did a great H16 boat tuning seminar (watch for his posted notes) using the two Hobie 16’s Dave Dunlap setup for the meeting. There was discussion and multiple proposals about either starting the sailing season later than our usual first Tuesday in May, ending the season before we get weeks into September (when we’re fighting for daylight), and/or combining the Spring and Summer Series into a single longer series. Members decided to do a shorter Spring and Summer series (7 and 8 week respectively), but to not start sailing until May 17th. This will still put us wrapping up our season by the end of August.
Our spring sailing season begins on Tuesday May 17th running until June 28th and lasting for 7 weeks. We will have July 5th off for the holiday. Our summer series will start July 12th and run through August 30th lasting 8 weeks, with the possibility of extending another week as make up if needed.
We will be running Portsmouth A and B fleets with 1 start.
Two races per night, first start at 6:30 pm.
Look forward to seeing everybody on the water. —
