Spring Series week #8 – June 25, 2019

Looks like we will have wind Tuesday, with sunny skies and temps in the 70s.  So it’ll be a great day to get out and sail with winds WSW at 10-15 – ish.  Win Larsen has graciously offered his pontoon as our committee boat and volunteered to be Race Chair, with John Koryto helping and learning from Win and the rest of the experienced crew of Keith Mortlock and Dixie Stiemsma.    We have a boat signed up for the first two Tuesdays in the Summer Series, July 9th and July 16th, but after that, nada.  So please consider signing up – racing will be cancelled any weeks we don’t have a boat and Race Chair.

Spring Series Week #6 – June 11, 2019

It’s week 6 and a beautiful sunny day with temps in the 70s.  Not exactly summer yet, but we’ll take it!  Winds are predicted to be 5-10 mph to light and variable later on, so we’ll see how mother nature is going to treat us!  Pontoon boat and Race Chairman is Jerry Mohney for tonight, with Wally on the boat helping out.    PRO Julie is out of town  this Tuesday.  

Julie sent out sailing guidelines late last week.  Please remember to review and get back to her with any questions and/or your thoughts.  Also, please check out the RC sign up sheet.  For years, we have been very fortunate to have ALCA racing on Tuesday nights, and our sailors have gone on to bigger events and represented us well.  Let’s continue to make ALCA a continued success by working together to make these nights happen, increasing our sailboat racing knowledge and at the same time supporting each other and having fun! 

Spring Series Week #5 – June 4, 2019

Tuesday looks promising as far as wind goes, with wind predictions ranging from 10 – 20 mph to 10 – 15 mph and temperatures in the mid 70s, with a slight chance of rain in the late afternoon.  Race Chair for the evening is Jerry Mohney and we meet as Brewster’s afterwards.  Our Principal Race Officer, Julie has sent over a link for sign-up (Pontoon boats and race Chairs needed!) as a Google Docs file.   Any questions, please reach out to Julie or Dan about working with this file.  Otherwise, there will be a hard copy of the sign up sheet available at Brewsters after racing.
