The Sea-Squirts class celebrated Sport's Day today as they geared up in their eye-black and headed to boater's beach to work on capsizing. A few of the sailors expressed their confidence in solo capsizing. They will be competing with the beginner opti class before we know it!
Coach Brooke called from Stage Harbor where the opti race team was having a great day in the light breeze. They had one more race left for the day so we will keep you posted on the results. The Wequaquet Lake green fleet regatta will be taking place next Tuesday July 14th.
Coach DJ will be attending if we can get four boats to attend. Registration is from 8:30-9:30 and the skipper's meeting is at 9:45. Sailors should report at 8:00 to get their boats rigged. Please let DJ know if you will be attending so we can make sure we have a coach there for you.
The 420 team packed up the trailer for New Bedford Jr. Regatta. From the time they de-rigged the boats and pulled out of the parking lot, it took TWO hours. Coach Mildred informed them that she will have them on and off the trailer in 45 minutes before the season is over. We'll see if they can do it! If anyone can whip them into shape it's Mildred. A reminder to the team, you will be meeting at 6:00 AM tomorrow morning. Chris Warner and Julia Donahue will be driving the sailors and Mildred will be driving her truck with the gear. Don't be late! The Goggin's have generously donated the water and snacks for NBJR. We will need a parent volunteer for Edgartown's supplies, please see Meghan if you can help out.
A reminder to the Opti Race A and B parents, we will be having a meeting on Monday at 4:15 to discuss regatta logistics for the season. If you cannot attend, please see Meghan.
The Sweeney/Arabia Cup races have been rescheduled and will NOT be taking place this weekend. We will keep you posted on that race.
Enjoy the weekend!!
