Storms Roll In and Sailors Stay Calm!

Hats off to the 420 Race Teams for staying calm and working with their coaches to get the boats out of the water VERY, VERY quickly this afternoon! The sailors listened close to their instructors and followed directions to assure that everyone was off the water before the lightning hit. Good work team, Keep it up!!!


Patrick and Erin Daly had a great afternoon with the Sea Squirts class as they went for their first boat ride of Bass River! The kids were all smiles as they learned about the parts of the boat and were excited to end class with a swim off the dock.

Brooke's intermediate opti class practiced using their tiller extensions today. They started on land practicing on chairs and eventually were out on the water showing off their skills. They looked great and are really starting to look comfortable being back on the water!

Best of luck to the 420-A team tomorrow at their team race in Chatham. We are going to have a meeting for the 420-A team parents on FRIDAY at 4:30 in the junior yacht club. We will discuss regatta logistics, parent/sailor/coach responsibilities and discuss the plans for this season. The schedule is very full for regatta travel so your attendance at the meeting is mandatory.

Rain, rain, go away!!!
