Saturday, August 7th

Fantastic turn-out, lively winds. Thanks to David Baker for moving the marks with his motorboat to adjust for a significant wind shift. We had 12 boats on the start line, including Josh in an Optimist. He started with us, and sailed a shorter course, so unfortunately he can’t be scored with the fleet, but maybe next time there will be a second Optimist sailing.

July 4 races

We had a long wait for the wind, but when we went out, the wind picked up a good deal. Then, after a couple of races, a rain cloud showed up with some thunder, sending us all back to the club.

Racing got off to a great start on Sunday

We were not able to race keelboats on Saturday due to the lack of wind, but on Sunday a warm, fluky wind firmed up as nine boats set out to race, producing a mix of strong gusts and quiet moments, all generally from the Northwest, but varying quite a bit in typical Falcon fashion.

We completed three races:

Here are the key elements of the updated health regulations as they affect the club:

Club Races can happen up to 25 people
Outdoor gatherings up to 25 people
NO PUBLIC INDOOR Gatherings
CANSail Programs/Day Camps open to up to 20 participants per group.
