Hi All-

Just a friendly reminder that this Sunday, June 24 is the ECSA Laser Regatta at Sachem's Head Yacht Club in Guilford, CT. The late fee for the registration kicks in on Thursday, so if there are others in your fleet that want to come, sign up before then to avoid the additional fee!

The $35 registration comes with racing, a regatta t-shirt, post-race food, and 2 drink tickets, so it's a fairly good deal if you decide to make the trek!

HYC Laser Fleet News       Races This Coming Week: Thursday 6pm (5pm rig) Sunday 10am (9:00am rig)

June 12, 2018 Hi All, Last week we had great weather, great attendance, and great racing!!!  Both Thursday and Sunday had fine sailing conditions with interesting breezes and sunshine.   The season is really getting going now and it's great to have everyone back out there! Thursday night was the debut of fleet coaching, with Dave Penfield piloting a RIB around the racecourse helping fleet sailors get tuned up.  Many positive comments were received about how helpful it was to sailors of all skill levels.  Dave also commented on how much he learned just watching others sail.  There's nothing like having another pair of eyes seeing what you're doing and providing feedback!  We plan to have coaching as often as we can and would like to encourage everyone to volunteer for a day.  It's a great way to learn yourself, while at the same time helping others.  Pretty awesome!!! If interested, please respond with a Sunday or Thursday date this summer that you'd like to help your sailing peers. Sailing conditions for this week are looking pretty awesome, so come on down!!! And if you haven't done so- PLEASE REGISTER! See you on the water, Pete Hallemeier Dave Penfield HYC Laser Fleet

June 6, 2018 Hi All, Though a bit windy last Sunday, the sailing was great.  The RC, led by John, did a fantastic job firing off 5 races in a gusty NE breeze. Many thanks to them! A couple of housekeeping items: 1)  Rack space is in high demand this year- make sure to buy your stickers and get down there to put your boats/stickers on the rack. 2) Registrations are starting to roll in but there are still a significant number of folks not registered.  Please use the info in the box at the end of this newsletter to go register! This week is our first Thursday night and Sunday we'll be racing in the morning.  The weather looks super for Thursday.  If you are nervous about the water temp, it isn't bad, as Dave attested, after wiping out a bunch of times practicing gybes on Sunday.  Expect the water to be in the low 60's. Our first coaching session will be Thursday, so come take advantage of this great resource for fleet members.  Dave Penfield will be driving a RIB around, offering advice before, during and after each race, to anyone who wants to listen.  And he will rig his boat ahead of time if someone wants to sail it.  If you know of someone who might be motivated to join our fleet and needs a little encouragement, have them contact Dave at 508 776 5699 to reserve his boat.  All they will need to do is show up with some reasonable clothing [light wetsuit or layers] and have a good attitude.  His boat also can be used by someone who just hasn't gotten their boat out of mothballs yet, but the preference will be for a new recruit. We want to make coaching a regular occurrence, so please volunteer to coach on a day of your choosing.  Contact Dave to reserve your day.  The benefits to the fleet are obvious; and in addition, watching what happens on the course from a different perspective is a great way to learn more yourself.  [BTW it will also help your season score, as we intend to award a bonus 1rst place finish for the day to the coach]. The season is now on - come down and sail!!!!! See you on the water, Pete Hallemeier Dave Penfield HYC Laser Fleet
