Summer Series Week #4 – August 1, 2023

Ahoy all,

Week 4 is here! Hopefully we get more wind than last week. Weather is looking to be in the mid 80s and partly cloudy. The wind is looking a little light at the moment at about 4 mph out of the NNE. HOWEVER that forecast has DOUBLED since yesterday afternoon. So we’ll keep an eye on it and see if we can get something to work with. DO YOUR WIND DANCES!!! 

John Hayward is race chair, Thanks in advance John! 

Jacs afterwards for results, dinner and drinks.

Update on the Fleet 126 Michigan City 1-Day Regatta Scheduled for 7/21/23

Giving you a heads up. Our Race Committee has moved Race 1 from Saturday to this Sunday due to the weather forecast and because anticipated sea and wind conditions are more favorable on Sunday. Boats will be arriving between 8:00am and 9:00am on Sunday. Our Skippers Meeting is scheduled for 9:00 am at the Beach Boat ramp with the first race scheduled for 11:00am. We will be finished by 5:00pm and departing the parking lot no later than 7:00 pm Sunday evening. No parking lot barricades are required and we will not be putting up any beach fencing as this is only a day regatta with no overnight beach boat storage. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns. Thank you as always for your keen assistance and support. 

Regards,
