Ahoy sailors,
Well, time does fly when we are having fun sailing! Last weekend was a bit of a "who's who" on the weather front, but we ended up sailing on Sunday morning which turned out to be enjoyable (despite little wind and some rain). All in all, though, a good race. A huge thanks to Angus Laurie for being crash boat and another huge thanks to the committee boat (Sharon and Mary Ann). Next week’s party is at the Tabbitts' (details below).
Looking forward to the weekend and hoping for good weather,
SJ ⚓
This Week - Race #4 (Saturday 22nd July)
Commodore Team
⛵ Race #4 will take place in the usual format on Saturday, with a 2:15pm start time. As you will see by last week's results, the Race Committee team are now kindly recording the times of each boat. This can be used for sailors to keep track of how fast they are from week to week, and for the handicap system for other (non-Albacore) classes.
🎉 The Sailing Party this week is very kindly being hosted by the Tabbitts on Saturday. Their address is 300 Edgemere Road, Tabbitts Trail. There is plenty of parking. Boat docking is available, but shallow coming in to Tabbitts' and Lauries' properties.

Race Report #3: 16.07.2023 (Sunday postponed from Saturday)
Given slightly lacklustre, conditions, this week's Race Report is more of a 'race quotation':
Dean MacMurtry, Vice-Commodore
"It was a drifter mixed with a period of rain. Really not worthy of a report, as you’d be hard-pressed to call it a race!"
Nonetheless, we look forward to this week and hope for better weather! Thanks, as ever, to the fantastic race team. See you on the water.
