Fleet 46 Invitational Regatta August 27th and 28th

Fleet 46 Invitational Regatta was shifted one week to not conflict with Nationals. Two days of racing on Lake Alexander in Dayville Connecticut. Steak Dinner Saturday night after 4 races (wind permitting) Typically light air sailing. 3 Races Sunday Awards dinner and all for a per boat entrance fee of $50. If you are travelling east after Nationals consider dropping your boat off and joining us the next weekend for a relaxing and fun weekend. We are sharing a A-Sail around amongst the boats but typically race with just our Mains and Jibs. We have some wood masts that remain competitive with the rest of the fleet.

2011

Greetings!

Already the 2011 Social and Racing Seasons have begun.  There are many scheduled events that will be posted on the Entrance Chalkboards.  We expect to post the racing plans here and other documents that you may want to print out and use.  Please check out the link to the ALYC Lake Breeze Archive as we have added lots of back issues.  Avery and I are working to collect copies of any versions that you do not see in the archive so that we can build as complete a collection on-line as possible.  So if you have versions that we have not yet posted that you are willing to let me scan please let me know. 
We are also looking at a modification of the Invitational Regata date and will post when that decision has been finalized.

July 26 - Race Results

Looks like the Jumpin Jack Flash is going to be a 110 to reckon with. In her second debut with her new owner and captain, she took home one second and two firsts. One first place finish was after she crossed the line early, bumped into the Eagle, went back over the starting line and did a 360 then proceeded to chase down the fleet.
After the season is half over, the standings are:
1st - 245 Malihini 14 pts
2nd - 698 Red Witch 20 pts
3rd - 35 Nymph 24 pts
4th - 272 Eagle 47 pts.

Boats with not enough races:
240 Scoop 52 pts
545 Jumpin Jack Flash 13 pts
669 Red Baron 30 pts
507 Independence 33 pts
676 Yankee 11 pts
