Lovely evening for the BBQ; our biggest problems were finding room on the grill and managing the output…

Summer of Sailing Regatta
25 Boats on the water for the weekend regatta, which included 17 Lasers, 4 Optimists and 4 dual-handed boats.
The weather was extremely variable, with the wind blowing, or not blowing, various strengths from various directions. It meant lots of adjusting by the race committee, and lots of waiting for the sailors, but sailors had a good time; and those who stayed out for all the races sailed between four and seven races each.

A spotty easterly to south-easterly to south wind that built in fits and starts. Finding the wind was key to success.

Handicaps update
At our 2018 AGM, we decided to change to the UK handicap system, because it offered some ratings which better reflect the performance expected from experienced sailors than the US system.
I have found the newest UK Portsmouth numbers, which have increased the handicap 5 points for Tasars (also MScow), one point for Laser, three for Laser Radial, and all our other active classes no change. Note; an increased handicap means less of a penalty. I will apply these handicaps to all races this year.
June Keel Boat Race
A gentle breeze greeted the three keelboats that made it out to the start line.
Phil joined the race in his scow, but unfortunately we don’t have a handicap system that covers both the scow and the keelboats, so Phil enjoyed a practice race!

Sail Better Clinic – 10:00 am Sunday June 30th
One of our accomplished sailors, Craig Baker, is conducting a clinic to help us all sail better! Learn about sail trim, strategy and tactics, and the “rules of the road”. There will be a nominal $10 charge per boat which will go towards club boat repair/maintenance.
The clinic is open to all FYC members regardless of experience, type of boat or whether you enjoy sailing round the buoys in the weekend races or cruising on your own.
This is an excellent opportunity to both learn new skills and refresh what you know.
Regular club races are planned for Saturday, Sunday and Monday this weekend (1:00 start). Come out and enjoy the great weather!
First races of 2019
