Sunday May 1st - Galen and practice starts!

We encourage newbies to come on out and join the fun.  Galen will do some chalk talk while I set up the course.  We will have two starting groups - the experienced folks will start first with a Red flag.  Then the newbies will start by themselves with a Green flag.

It's really not a intimidating as it might appear.  For the starts you just need to remember a few rules:
  1.   Don't run into a boat in front of you.
  2.   Boats on Port tack need to stay out of the way of boats on Starboard.
  3.   Windward boats need to keep away from boats below them. 
The following week is Mother's day - no racing.

Then May 15th is the GOOR! Followed by the Touch of Class.  This will be a great opportunity to get some practice starting!

  1. Come on out at 1:00 Sunday. We'll meet on the porch and decide if we will just have lessons on the porch, or if we will get a chance to actually go out on the water.
