This is our 3rd week of the Spring series – good call on the cancellation for last week, Jerry!
For this week, we are looking at cloudy skies, temps in the high 50’s, with light and variable winds. Mother nature is just not cooperating lately, is it? Maybe the forecast is not exactly accurate for Austin L – let’s hope at least……… All cancellations will be posted on Facebook and through an email like last week. We are meeting at Brewster’s as always, after or instead of racing.
Sailing tonight is cancelled due to weather – rain and cold temps! We are still going to Brewsters, 6:30/7:00 so come on out!
So we’re on! Please RSVP and let Kathy Rubino know if you are coming! If you can’t or choose to not bring your boat, you are more than welcome to come out to help or observe from the ALCA gurus.
Here are the details:
The first scheduled racing for the Spring Series for 2016 is Tuesday, May 3rd. Starting sequence will begin at 6:30 PM.
We will be meeting for results afterwards at Brewster’s on Portage Road once again.
Don’t forget your membership fees are due NOW! You won’t be scored if you’re not a current member. You can pay ALCA Treasurer Faith Akert at Brewster’s Tuesday night.
Watch here for updates on possible weather related delay or cancellation for Tuesday’s racing.
We are pretty much set for the first month of the Spring Series. You can refer to your new by-laws that had been sent out a few weeks ago for more details on the different responsibilities of the PRO and weekly race chairmen. We ask all members help keep the races running – either by assisting on committee boat or by being a weekly race chair. With this current system, you DON’T have to live on the lake or be a pontoon boat owner. If everyone does a stint, then no one person needs to take all the responsibility for the season.
We will be having our first fleet meeting of the 2016 season on Saturday, April 2, 2016. The meeting will be at Faith & Ken Akert’s house. Of HIGH importance for this meeting is to discuss and adopt the procedure that will be used to run races this year, since we had NO ONE step up and agree to be the Race Chairman for the year. The officers had a meeting and with input from other past fleet officers have come up with some ideas for this year. It’s important that EVERYONE be in attendance when we set the direction for the fleet for the upcoming racing seasons.
Specific details of time and what the fleet may be furnishing for the meeting will posted once the party committee has convened.
Going thru pictures recently, I found that I had not uploaded all the pictures taken from the 7/28/15 Tuesday night racing. Those pictures have been added to the 7/28/15 gallery of photos. Many are VERY similar to ones already posted, but others are new posts of pictures that have been straightened (horizon line) and color corrected.
