Weekend Races/Regatta
Race to Somewhere. Saturday, August 19. We take off from the harbor area in Olympia and sail toward one of the nicest coves in South Sound, Gull Harbor, a distance of about 2.5 miles. Only two prizes First to finish and last. We eat a great lunch. Then there is a somewhat more serious race back to Olympia. The afternoon usually provides more steady winds. We finish in time to load trailers in the light. Last year a small fleet of 6 Mutineers beat all of us in the first race.
Dinghy Regatta. Sunday, September 10 (the week after Labor Day). Usually three races with longer courses than the Thursday night races.
Social Time. If Eric and find out that we will have some visiting Tanzers, we will arrange for some beer, pizza, and sailing talk. Please let us know. jslosson@aol.com If we get five visitors, maybe we will even come up with a trophy or a plaque. jim
