Do you have an event planned but don't see it on the calendar at the end of this newsletter? Please let me know: laserd7@gmail.com District News We have a 2024 Grand Prix winner! In this second year of the D7 Grand Prix, we hit some good milestones. All six states participated! Thanks to Wickford YC (RI), Kollegewidgwok YC (ME), Stone Horse YC (MA), Mallets Bay Boat Club (VT), Lake Sunapee YC (NH) and  Duck Island YC (CT). Thanks to all the race organizers who made this happen. Across all six regattas, 118 sailors participated in one or more regatta. That's outstanding! We are becoming good road warriors. I am happy to report that first place goes to Dave Crawley, who deftly switched it up between ILCA 6 and ILCA 7 fleets over four of the six regattas and earned a cumulative score of 327 points. Dave wins a free tuition to the International Sailing Academy, a $2,600 value! Buen Viaje, Dave. Second place goes to Adam Cook, who scored a cumulative 232 points over four races. Adam wins a $100 certificate to US One Design so he can upgrade and catch Dave next year. Rounding out the podium from the deep north of Blue Hill, ME, where the lobster rolls tack, is Jeff Beckwith scoring an impressive 228 cumulative points over just three regattas. Jeff wins a $100 certificate to Southeast Sailing, the fabulous rigging folks across the Pond. Next year, he can sail with a British accent, which is known to be very fast. Here's our top ten, but kudos to all 118 sailors who hit he road:     2024 D7 Grand Prix   Sailors receive a percentage score for each regatta based on their place (1st place scores 100, etc, and 0 points for not attending) Ranking First Name Last Name Wickford TB S.

This is because that regatta had two fleets (ILCA 6 and 7), but being a Yankee I didn't want to waste a perfectly good spreadsheet column. For 2025, we'll be nuancing the system to give a bit more credit for fleet size, but it's still going to be mostly about hitting the road and sailing in awesome places. MarbleNukes! US Masters is a honking affair.  The top ILCA 6 master in the just finished US Masters at Eastern YC was Jamie Carter. Jamie happens to work for NOAA and is now developing a new forecasting theory for Nor’easter storms. Step 1: Schedule a laser regatta at EYC. Step 2: Predict a big storm!  It happened in 2016 when EYC hosted the ILCA North Americans and again in 2019. This year was no exception.  Ninety four sailors from across the country, Canada, and the Caribbean faced a 20-25 knt breeze with gusts well into the thirties. The seas were 8 feet with washing machine chop on top. Under the intrepid leadership of PRO Franny Charles, three races were sailed on Friday. Even Clay Johnson, the eventual overall winner in the ILCA 7, went swimming.  After a day off to let things settle on Saturday, the fleet sailed three more races on Sunday in slightly more civilized conditions of six foot seas and winds in the high teens with gusts into the 20s. The time on shore was equally sporty, with two great dinners, free massages from StretchLabs, and a very special celebration of ILCA Legend Peter Seidenberg, whose years of dedication to ILCA sailing have made masters sailing what it is today. If you haven't gone to a major master's event, don't miss the next one! See the full results here. This month we are continuing the theme of building a fleet after Nat's great article last month detailing the success at American YC in Newburyport, MA. There is nothing more important to the future of the sport we love, and no better boat to do it in than the ILCA. Dave Penfield, fast guy in his boat, Touch of Grey, knows a few things about sailing and getting people on the water. Dave and a group of like-minded volunteers at the Hyannis Yacht Club have been hard at work. Here are some words of wisdom. Building a fleet in Hyannis. Top Ten Tips! By Dave Penfield We have worked on sustaining and growing our local fleet at Hyannis Yacht Club.  We race on Thursday evenings and Sunday mid day from June through September.  Many of the following ideas we picked up from other clubs, and we have tested them all with positive results.  Hopefully in this list there might be something that your club has not already tried.  Simple and cheap awards  [ie. glasses with fleet logo or ILCA image] distributed while everyone is still around de-rigging.   Awards should be creative and for fun reasons [top junior under __ age, most capsizes, most circles, best start, surviving your first day, etc]  Folks who don’t usually end up on the podium need to be targeted, and especially the younger sailors seem to cherish their awards. Ask the winner of the day to share what they thought made a difference, again while everyone is still around ASAP after racing. Have loaner boats available for competitive sailors from other fleets in your club, juniors, sailing instructors, and non club members.  We were very fortunate several years ago to be able to borrow boats from the 413 Frostbite fleet, and our club subsequently decided to build our own loaner boat fleet based on that success.  Old serviceable hulls abound and owners who no longer use them can be talked into a donation, and our foundation then has fixed them up.  And some fleet members will loan their boats when not sailing.  Make sure there will be a responsible point person and a budget for ongoing maintenance.  We have loaned up to eight boats for a single day of racing, the benefit is obvious. Organize race clinics for the fleet, get your top sailors to volunteer to teach.  We have in the past brought in a professional coach for a more formal multi-day clinic, but  2-4 hour home-grown session[s] especially at the start of the season has proven valuable for our fleet and is much easier to organize and to schedule based on conditions.  When racers see personal improvement they are more excited about participating for the rest of the season.    Have an intro to ILCA clinic. We set some up right after our Sunday races, using the racers' rigged boats and their owners as personal instructors. It is surprising how many club members have curiosity but need a little push to try, making it safe and easy seems to capture them. This has helped get new adults and juniors into our fleet.  A quick how-to on survive tacking and a gybing dry land demo, followed by about an hour of supervised sailing in good conditions is enough to get most people stoked to sail an ILCA. Add ILCA sailing to your youth program [if not already doing it].  Best to have two options, an intro class just focused on fun sailing, and a race class.  You will need a supply of 4.7 and 6 rigs and sails to do so.   And then make it easy for the race class to sail in the fleet races. With fleet permission, encourage the race leaders to circle back after finishing and coach the boats  struggling at the back of the fleet while they are still racing.  Obviously this is not “legal” per racing rules, but our fleet has welcomed the plan.  Alternatively, on a rotating basis have top sailors spend a day in a RIB coaching the back of the fleet, [give the “coach” first place finishes for the day if you score a summer series].  It is very important to support the sailors who are most likely to get discouraged and thus not return.  And getting them faster/better improves the racing for everyone. Regular dialogue with the RC.  They are often volunteers who have not sailed ILCAs, and are helped by feedback and training.  For example, we have done on water demos for our patrol boat operators on how to assist boats capsized/turtled, or broken down.  Feedback about start line length, courses, etc. can all be helpful to the RC, make sure they agree ahead that it is collaborative rather than critical. Use sailing program instructors to augment race volunteers especially on windy days.  Their youthful strength and knowledge makes a difference between cancelling or continuing to race.  If you charge a fee for racing, waive it for the first few days for someone trying it out.        2024 District 7 Regattas as of 5/31/24 Date Counts towards D7 Gran Prix?

Please let me know: laserd7@gmail.com District News District 7 Championship What makes for a great weekend? Try warm water on the Cape, breeze and waves left over from Hurricane Debby and the hospitality of Stone Horse YC. Sixty one competitors enjoyed two great days of competition with a strong showing of youth sailors. Hurricane Debby passed off shore on Saturday, blessing the fleet with a good breeze and fantastic waves. Stone Horse boasts an awesome venue with easy launching on the beach and racing just off shore. The Race Committee set a challenging WL, twice-around courses with long beats to work the abs, and sleigh rides back to the leeward mark. Sunday was more of the same with a moderating breeze. We had seven races over the two days. Regatta Chair Vicky Wiseman and her crew of volunteers took great care of us.   In the ILCA 7, Bryce Andreasen of Eastern YC took honors in a tie breaker with Aleksei Lopatin of Severn Sailing Association. Nicolas Regnault took third. In the ILCA 6, Grayden Mott of Sail Newport was first with an eye-popping total of 6 points. Bodhi Becker, also of Sail Newport, took second and Christopher Chwalk of Barrington YC, was just three points behind Christopher. Many thanks to Stone Horse for an excellent event. This is a great step forward for the revived D7 championship with an increase in boats over 2023. Who wants to host next year? Let me know @ laserd7@gmail Malletts Bay Regatta A small but spunky group completed eight races in breezy conditions at the beautiful Malletts Bay Boat Club on Lake Champlain.

The old fleet organizer had passed away years prior. Efforts to keep the fleet going dwindled, until racing was pretty well nonexistent. Today is a different story. This season, we usually put 10-15 boats on the water, have lots of juniors and masters racing together, and the fleet really feels like a growing program.  Hopefully imitation is the highest form of flattery because I started out pretty much copying what the Marblehead Laser fleet does!  Also, I used to crew in the Annapolis Lightning fleet in the 90’s which was a high level fleet that also had been rebuilt from the ashes, and their fleet captain Phil Grotheer had a great article about how he did it. Those examples inspired me to take a run at rebuilding the AYC fleet, and then a lot of hard work, good luck, and core supporters helped build that early momentum. From the beginning, I’ve tried to remove obstacles that can frustrate sailors.  The tidal and river currents on the Merrimack can make racing, launching, and landing pretty difficult so all of our races are scheduled around high tide.  We race every other Sunday, with different start times for each week.  Though a little unusual, this has been a great decision. Building a loaner program has been a challenging, but indispensable, part of our growth. It gets new sailors and juniors on the water.  Several laser owners at the club don’t race often and have been willing to share their boats.  We have a few juniors with their own boats, and they come out when their sailing friends can also get in loaners.   Most days, we will have 4-8 juniors on the water, which is incredibly fun (and wow, they learn fast). I’ve watched fleets struggle with race committee, so lots of effort has gone into making sure we have a quality RC every single race, without forcing our racers to get out of the laser and into the RC boat.  For several years, I would steal the paid junior stewards (teenagers) off the club docks and press them into RC.  More recently, we have built Race Committee volunteer teams that have been a game changer.    We are fortunate to have the American Yacht Club’s enthusiastic support which helps in countless ways both logistical and emotional.  We have a great yard, committee boats, a great ramp, and building facilities. Also, the members are proud of what regattas have meant to the club’s history and culture and really enjoy seeing the sails go up in the yard and watching the fleet from the clubhouse decks.  With our location in Newburyport, we reach sailors that don’t want to travel to more distant fleets, and Joppa Flats on the Merrimack can be a remarkably good and reliable place for dinghy sailing.  There is a great core fleet and a steady influx of new members, juniors, and guests. This is a fleet that should have its best years ahead of it. We are just working for that first 20 boat day!

John Bentley Regatta Registration is open for the John Bentley Regatta on June 22nd at the New Bedford YC in South Dartmouth, MA. Duck Island Yacht Club to the Grand Prix Rescue! As you may recall from April's newsletter, we had D7 Grand Prix events scheduled in every D7 state save Connecticut, but being from the Nutmeg state, the sailors at Duck Island YC in Westbrook were having none of that. They've planned a fun fall regatta on Saturday, September 7th. This is a beautiful spot on Long Island Sound and a great warm-up for the US Masters just a few weeks later. Registration is open! As a reminder, here is the rest of the D7 Grand Prix line up: Wickford Regatta, June 8-9 in (you guessed it) Wickford, RI.  This is a classic and beloved seasonal event that has been hosting lasers since the 70's.

For more information, contact the fleet at hyclaserfleet@47936889.mailchimpapp.com  Cedar Point Yacht Club wraps up its spring series. CYC puts on an excellent fall and spring frostbiting show, and this year was no exception. Here are a few words from the CYC newsletter: That's a wrap. Twenty days, two seasons, no cancellations, and by our, unofficial estimate, a hiking-opportunity score of plus 90% for the Spring Season. That all translates into breeze, challenging conditions, and definitive confirmation that Fall and Spring are superior times to sail. A big congratulations to Steve Girling who is awarded the Robert R. Larson Perpetual Trophy for winning the combined Fall/Spring Series followed by Lawrence McGrath in second and Frederico Bediaga in third.There was some exceptional, competitive sailing to the end. As Steve noted in his wrap up, "With Andrew Scrivan dominating the Fall Series, but unable to sail this Spring, the Spring Series became a battle between Charles Stanley, Lawrence, Federico and Antonio Maya-Le Fort. We had some epic days, with breeze and lots of choices on how to execute a game plan."

The Loaner: A Great Way to Build Your Fleet Ensconced somewhere near your fleet is an excellent sailor whom you've never met. Maybe she is a recent college star who is currently very busy with her career and, for some odd reason, can't get a laser in her building's elevator. Maybe he is a gnarled veteran of many masters events who sold their boat to dabble in bigger craft but misses the thrill of being next to the water. Maybe said sailor has little people who demand to play soccer. (Of all things! Please, feet are for hiking straps.) Whoever the great sailors are lurking close to your fleet, one of the best ways to lure them back into the obsession is a fleet loaner. The Marblehead fleet, like many, has had great success with this approach. Rick Eno, a regular participant in our races, developed a loaner program with Pleon, our junior yacht club. Just this spring, we've picked up two new excellent sailors, who (don't tell their spouses) may soon be buying their own boats.  Loaners don't have to be pretty. If you can piece together a decent set up, folks will pay to sail and you can reinvest in the boat. Probably the most important aspect of a loaner program is someone to shepherd the process: begging parts from the fleet, collecting fees, coordinating with sailors, and generally making the fleet a welcoming place for newcomers.  Is it work? Yep. Is it fun? Absolutely It's a pleasure to see the smile on someone's face who hasn't ducked a boom in a long time.
