Alright, now it’s HOT 🥵! For Week 4 our spring series. The forecast is calling for mid 80s but SUNNY with winds around 13-17 mph gusting 25. Lake is reportedly warm…
With winds like this make sure you are prepared with a RIGHTING LINE, and confident that you can right your own boat… More than likely we will NOT have a chase boat. And it is difficult for race committee to lift anchor to try to help people get righted in between races. Be aware you will be at the mercy of others if you do flip and cannot right your own boat.
And if you see somebody in trouble and you have crew you can of course at your option help them.

Good News Everyone!
It’s finally forecasted to be warmer! Tuesday is week 3 of our spring series. The forecast is calling for mid 70s but SUNNY with winds around 9 mph gusting 15….The feels like temp (windchill) is predicted to be around 73 degrees. The water more than likely will feel warmer but a wetsuit may still be a good idea this early in the season.

Due to the 55 Degree water temperature and similar air temperature, racing is being cancelled for the tonight, Week #2, May 11, 2021. As a result there will be no Zoom Results meeting.
We will again be meeting via Zoom meeting to dispense the results after racing on Tuesday, May 11, 2021. Planned time for the Zoom room to “open up” is 8:00 PM. If we get cancelled due to weather or other conditions, there will be no Zoom meeting.

The series (be they what they are) results for Spring 2021 Portsmouth A & B fleets are posted on the Series Results page. If you are a current paid member and your name is NOT on either roster, please contact Andy Lenczycki.
Alright everyone, round 2.
Tomorrow is week 2 of our spring series, I think we are in a little better condition this week than last. The forecast is calling for mid 50s but SUNNY with winds 10 to 12 mph gusting 14… The water more than likely hasn’t had much of a chance to warm since last week when the temp was reported to be 60 degrees by shore. It feels like temp (windchill) is predicted to be around 48 degrees. All that being said, make sure to check Facebook/email for potential cancellations and if we do race make sure to dress appropriately and be safe.
Please dress warm!
Inexperienced sailors please come out with a crew while it’s cold like this.
