Pictures taken from the committee boat during the 1st actual week of sailing on Austin Lake (Week #3) for 2018, are posted on the Photos|5/22/18 Tuesday Night Racing tab.

For those that weren’t in attendance at the Spring Kick-Off meeting on April 21, you missed a great ALCA member gift card auction hosted by Julie Lenczycki…Going once… going twice… SOLD!

It was recommended by the fleet officers (and approved by the fleet members in attendance) that due to the less than spectacular spring we have been having, that we postpone the start of the Spring series this year to May 8, 2018.  We will run 8 weeks of Spring series (to June 26th).  We will take the next week off for the week of July 4th, then start the Summer series on July 10th and run for only 8 weeks to August 28th.  Done before the Labor Day weekend.  If weather permits and sailors are inclined we may have a short Fall series after Labor day, stay tuned.

A few pictures that Julie Lenczycki took of the 5/30/17 Tuesday night racing are now posted on the Photos|5-30-17 Tuesday Racing page.

Due to inclement weather conditions, racing is again cancelled for the night.  All interested parties are welcome to show up at Brewster’s at 7 PM.  We have the South room to ourselves tonight.

Due to the unusually low wind/water temperatures along with higher than average winds, racing for Week 1, May 2, 2017 had been cancelled.  We will still be meeting at Brewster’s on Portage Road for anyone interested at 7 PM so we can brag about, “we wanted to sail, but everyone else didn’t!”

For all you “hardy” sailing fans out there, we are SCHEDULED to begin the Spring 2017 racing series on Tuesday, May 2, 2017.  Current weather outlook does NOT look good, but stay tuned.  I believe we will be meeting at Brewster’s on Portage Road again this year unless notified otherwise.  Will be meeting around 7 PM if we do NOT sail, otherwise immediately after sailing – if we do sail.
