Message from the commodore June 21, 2021

Hi Everyone! Tuesday (June 22, 2021) looks like a nice, but cool evening for sailing, with temps in the 60’s and W/NW winds around 10mph for our 6:30 start. 

After racing, PRO Dave Dunlap and myself would like to welcome members to our lake home (5061 S. Long Lake Dr., Portage) for a gathering, results, and a short discussion for fleet business.  See the attached PDF for more information.  Next, starting this week and going forward, we are including these reminders in the weekly emails to assist the race committee and scoring process:

PRIOR TO RACING:

To help committee boat, please, notify the PRO and Statistician ASAP (on the Monday before or early Tuesday), if your status differs from your membership’s registration with regards to:

  1. Skipper of your boat
  2. Sail Number
  3. Crew change or if you are solo  
  4. Boat Type
  5. If you are crewing on a new member’s boat, please include this new person’s name, sail number and boat type. 

Email or group text: (PRO and Statistician)

Dave Dunlap (PRO) 269-330-5496, dadworksmi@gmail.com

Andy Lenczycki (Statistician) 269-910-2721, Hobie480@yahoo.com

The race committee is extremely busy on the water and these changes are very difficult to handle at the last minute, so please help support their efforts by following through with this!

 ON RACE NIGHT:

  1. Please check-in with Committee Boat prior to the starting sequence for attendance.
  2. If possible, notify Committee Boat if you are not finishing a race or retiring for the night.
  3. Notify Committee Boat if you are going to protest. PRO will let you know when / where protest will be  heard.  

Thanks all!  Kathy

Spring Series Week #8 – June 22, 2021

After-Sailing Get Together at Dave Dunlap & Kathy Rubino’s

  • Where: 5061 S. Long Lake Dr, Portage (on Long Lake)
  • When: Tuesday June 22nd, after sailing
  • Why: Why not? It has been over a year since we’ve gathered as a fleet.
  • Results will be announced and other fleet business will be discussed. We can’t wait to reunite with old friends and meet new ALCA members!
  • Bring: Your own adult beverage of choice. We have a few yard chairs, but not enough seating for everyone, so bring a chair if you wish. Barbeque chicken sandwiches with coleslaw and lemonade will be provided by ALCA. Snacks and desserts to share are appreciated if you are interested in bringing something.
  • Parking: Our driveway, the grass between the garden beds and the street, and well as the property across the street, which we own. Park perpendicular to the street on these.
  • Cars with boat trailers can park parallel along the street east of our property on the side opposite the lake (between our house and East R Ave).
  • If sailing is cancelled, the party will start earlier, around 7 pm.

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.
