CONGRATS TO SEBASTIAN!!

Sebastian Halpern-Reiss spent the last four days racing at Opti New England's in Newport, RI. We are so proud of him for representing WDYC at an event where 323 opti's raced! He did an AWESOME job especially after racing in regattas for 9 straight days (Wianno, Hyannis, Opti New Englands). Way to go Sea-Bass!

Thanks!

Greenie's have a great day at Barnstable!

Alexis, Carly, Chloe, Eddie, Jake, Joe and Noah all participated in the green fleet regatta hosted by the Barnstable Yacht Club yesterday. With light breeze in the morning the sailors had a hard time getting out, but as it picked up in the afternoon they ran six races total.

Overall the kids had a blast and represented WDYC proudly. A big congrats to all of our racers and thank you to Mr. Rea for the pictures and Mrs. Banks for the snacks and water!

Way to go WDYC green fleet! Keep up the good work.

Check out Sailgroove!

Coach Ali has made WDYC an official team on sailgroove.org and posted videos for all 420's sailors to watch and learn from. Take a minute to check them out because WDYC's own Chris Love is doing an AWESOME job working for sailgroove!

HYC Regatta Results

Over the weekend we had four WDYC 420's and two opti's participate in the three day Hyannis Yacht Club regatta. They raced against sailors from all over the world and it was one amazing event. With winds gusting to 30 on Friday, the teams held on and battled the intense breeze. They had a break on Saturday as conditions brought light winds gusting to 3. Postponement held off the races for an hour but our sailors stayed focused and were ready when the flag came down. Sunday evened the first two days out and blew a steady 15 all day. Our racers had a great experience sailing in an open fleet regatta and a big congratulations for working so hard!

Way to go: Ryan Daly, Laura Adams, Chris Warner Marissa Sullivan, Andrew Warner, Kelsey Goggin, Max Dowgiallo, Julia Donahue, Shamus Sullivan and Sebastian Halpern-Reiss.

A big thanks to Mr. and Mrs. Warner for helping with the tow back to WDYC. We really appreciate it!

Yarmouth Invitational and Belle of the West

This Wednesday we are sending three boats to the Yarmouth Sailing Invitational.
-Mac/ Brian
-Giles/Nick
-Lauren/Maureen
*Registration forms are in the office and need to be back to Meghan by 12:30 on Tuesday*

We are towing the boats over on Tuesday afternoon at 12:30. Tuesday morning sailors must report to WDYC at 7:30. Ali and Maureen will be driving. Check in is from 7:45-9:00 and the first gun is at 10:00.

Immediately after racing on Wednesday the boats will be put on the trailer and brought over to the Dennis Yacht Club. The sailors will go over to Dennis at this time to unload the trailer and get them ready for racing on Friday (so you can enjoy the JYC trip to Nantucket on Thursday!)

All 420-B racers must report to WDYC at 7:25 on Friday morning. Ali and Mrs. Gaglione will be driving over to Belle of the West.
Check in: 8:00
Skippers Meeting: 9:00
Last starting sequence: 2:30

After racing on Friday, the boats will be loaded onto the trailer and brought back to WDYC. All 420-B racers must report to WDYC on Sunday night at 4:30 to unload the trailer so the boats are ready to go for class on Monday morning (just think of all the hands you will have with Sunday night cook-out going on!)

We need parent volunteers for water and granola bars for the coach boat for both of these regattas and parents on the beach to help with send-off. Please let Meghan know if you can help.

Sail fast WDYC!
