The long-awaited day is here! The container has made it way from the UK to Toronto. It will arrive at OHSF at 0700-0730 this Wednesday.

There are eight boats to be unloaded. Our goal is to unload them immediately.

As you now, many hands make light work. If you can help, email us to let us know you'll be there -- commodore [at] westwoodsailing [dot] ca & fleet [at] westwoodsailing [dot] ca

The Westwood Regatta is big event of the year and we need all hands on deck.
First – We want a good showing of Westwood boats. Skippers should start picking out their crew.
Second – It's Rib Fest. If you aren't racing, then you are expected to be eating and dancing.
Third – We need lots of volunteers to help out.
More details and registration information will be coming soon.

We need volunteers for the Westwood Regatta. We need the following:

1. Registration - 4 people.(to sign up people and take money)
2. Breakfast - 2 people (to help set up and serve breakfast)
3. Crash / Committee Boat - 4 people (to go out during the race and work on the boats)
4. Dinner Prep - 6 people (decorations and ambiance)
5. Dinner Cooks - 5 people (to make a bring a salad)

There will be a volunteer sign up sheet at the club house or reply to this email.

For those who have been asking: YES! We are sailing tonight.

The wind is a little higher than we'd normally prefer for this event, but we're hopeful that it will be somewhat sheltered on the Outer Harbour. We also have a smaller group than last time, which should mean more one-on-one boats. This is clearly an advantage on a windy night.

Looking forward to seeing our experienced sailors and to welcoming our guests!

First, congrats to the reunited power team of Milutin and Maxim for a 6th in last Friday's race despite some shifty north winds and a terrible start (I actually seen them behind me at one point!).

Friday 29th June. This Friday's race is will be hosted by us; so we'll need some volunteers to help out on the committee boat and mark boat. Race experience is an asset but not required. Email me at race [at] westwoodsailing [dot] ca

Monday 2nd July. The annual Canada day "hangover" harbour master is next week. So find yourself a crew/helm (and some advil) and be at the club for a 1pm gun. Note: Hosted by the Toronto Island Sailing Club so will be in the inner harbour.

Saturday 7th July. Regatta season starts with the OHCC regatta. I don't have any other details yet but keep checking the Canadian Albacore Association website for a notice of race. I'll be sure to post more info when I get it.

Happy Racing!

OHCC has asked for help taking kids sailing and running crash boat surveillance this Sunday. Sounds like all you have to do is show up ready to sail.

Their "Cadet Sailing Orientation" is Father's Day, June 17th.

Parents who know nothing about sailing and children who want to come to camp are checking out OHCC's Youth Sailing Program. They need help to introduce them to the sport and get them excited about sailing.

Sunday, June 17th, they will have 70 parents and children from Navy League and Sea Cadet corps attending a sailing camp orientation day.

Schedule:
Starts at 10am
Boats in the water around 11am
LUNCH will be served
A short sail after lunch
Done by 3pm or so :)

The children will thank you!

Note: Please contact Alan Hall at OHCC to confirm and/or to ask questions.
