Falcon Sailing Club

September 6 Keel Boat Race Canceled

Wind forecasts are too strong for Sunday, so we are canceling the September 6 keelboat race. Maybe we can make it up later in the fall.

Long Weekend Activities

If the weather cooperates, FYC plans for the weekend include:
– Dinghy racing Saturday and Monday
– Keel boat races on Sunday, and
– BBQ on Picnic Island Saturday night

We will have a planning session on Saturday to allocate crews to the keel boats for the Sunday races. Some of the new members may be interested in sailing on a keel boat.

Dinghies are welcome to race with the keel boats on Sunday, but the dinghies won’t be timed or scored.

Saturday August 29th racing

These results are slightly different than those sent around in Sharlene’s email; on review with a proper computer screen, one time was corrected to match the race committee notes, and the 29er Portsmith handicap was applied.

Here’s Commodore Sharlene’s summation of the results:

While Dave Baker finished first, he recognizes that as a non club member he is not eligible to win the cup. So, Charles and Maureen are the winners! Followed by Matt, then Roger. Craig‘s OCS start cost him his chance to defend his title from last year.

Racing News Mailing list clean-up

I just did a clean-up of the list of email addresses notified when a new post is up on the website; there were a bunch of people who signed up who have no apparent connection to the club, so I deleted them. Hopefully, I did not delete any people who are connected with the club.

If you hear of someone who is not getting the race results postings, please ask them to re-subscribe.

Al Sweeps KB July Races

We had gentle, shifting breezes mostly from the West on Saturday, July 25 for the keel boat and dinghy races. Everyone started at the same time, thanks to David L for timing the dinghies.

The following Sunday, there was too much wind, so sailors practiced screaming reaches, but there were no races.
