Yep, the 2025 Summer Series starts on April 19!

Written on .

First things first: Thank you to everyone who VOLUNTEERED FOR RACE COMMITTEE in the 2024 Summer Series. Without your help, the Summer Series doesn’t happen.

Not a racer? Then skip to the section below: “Want to volunteer for race committee?”.

The NOR/Race Instructions for 2025 has been posted (spoiler alert, it is unchanged from 2024, but you should re-read as a refresher), and the volunteer race sheet has been wiped clean and is ready to be filled in. Oh, and the RC Barge has a spiffy new bimini to keep RC at just the right temperament and temperature.

As we did last year, all fleets will participate in the Summer Series on the same day.

Hobie 16 sailors, and there are many of you in the club, its time for ya’ll to challenge Mark. Hobie Island Adventure sailors, you have a growing fleet and I will be scoring you as a separate fleet so you have no reason to skip the Summer Series. Holder 20 fleet, David is looking forward to the challenge of looking at your stern. All other multihulls and monohulls, exercise your sailing skills by joining us!

Do you have to be an expert racer to participate in the Summer Series? Absolutely not! ALL SKILL LEVELS are encouraged to participate. Racing with others is the best way to improve your sailing skills, regardless of your skill level.

The skipper’s meeting is at 14:00, followed by the first race sequence starting at 15:00 or so. The plan is for 3 races, followed by fellowship afterwards at the club with our usual pot-luck dinner at or around 18:00(ish).

A word about the pot-luck dinner: Anyone can attend the pot-luck dinner, you don’t have to participate in racing in order to attend! Please feel free to come by, share your gourmet tastes, and meet other members of the club.
 
Want to volunteer for race committee? You’re in luck!You still have a chance to sign up and volunteer for a racing committee spot for the season, we have (plenty of) openings.

Please refer to the Race Committee needs page, find a free spot, and then contact me at pbl@ideos.com and tell me when you want to volunteer and who will be helping. First come, first serve.
