Race: Week of July 17th

It's been a while since my last post and there's lots of news; so please feel free to let me know if you think I've missed anything. Additionally I'll apologize in advance for the length of this entry, I'll try to be more regular in the future.

First of all contratulations; to Kevin & Danny or their 1st (Friday night race), to Mary & Margaret on their 1st overall (Harbour master), and to Maxim & Patrina on their 2nd place overall (J-town regatta). Awesome results Westwood!

Also a huge contratulations to our bronze & white sailors for a great turnout (6 boats) in the J-town regatta (Bravo fleet)! For most it was their first regatta and first time on the helm. Results are on the CAA website albacore.ca/caa_files/2012jtownB.html

Friday July 20th
Friday night series Race 12. "Looking For Crew"! (Ed Flynn). No race experience required. Sail with our elite boat captains (or myself) this Friday and witness the largest Albacore race series in the world. Simply add your name to the Friday night race sheet on the board under the "Crew" column. You'll be randomly assigned a helm, so you just need to show up Friday (before 6pm). (If you're running late call the clubhouse to check-in before 6pm).

Mooredale is hosting this weeks race and is offering a post race snack. To participate they're asking people to signup (in their clubhouse) so they know how much they'll need.

Saturday July 21st

Sunday July 22nd
The Harbour Master series continues with race 11 and 12. Signup sheet is on the race board. There's always helm's looking for crew, so if you're looking to join ask around or let me know and I'll see if I can match you up. race [at] westwoodsailing [dot] ca

Volunteers Needed!!! We need some eager people to help out on our comittee boat! No race experience neccessary. We're hosting the Friday race, Regatta Saturday, and the Harbour Master on Sunday. That means lots of opportunity to help out.

Saturday is an all day affair. Our comittee boat will be on the water from 10am to roughly 4pm. (Typically we try to run 5 races). Sun-screen and/or foul weather gear will be required.
