JYC Spring Series Tuesday night weekly. The warning signal for the first class is approximately 1800.
There are extra people onboard for the early season to provide training opportunities. Normally no more than 8 on the boat.
Those needing a ride on base please meet Roland 5:00 pm at the Pass & ID parking lot to be driven on base.
For base access we will work it similar to past years. If you do not have base access, you should arrive at the designated time (15 minutes before boat call) at the Pass & ID office. Text or call and let me know who is there. Consolidate in cars if possible, then someone who has base access will stand on the causeway and you will be directed to drive there so that person may ride through the gate with you to get on base.

Thanks to Lisa, Kathy, Sue & Gerry Vento Solare was wet sanded in no time at all with perfect wet weather to help. Here are a few pictures from Sue's phone. Thanks for your help!
A fun evening sharing a table with Eric, Mary, Chris, Maggie, Francis, Lisa, Bill & Cindy. Mary was recognized with a US Sailing award as a JYC member for her communications role on J/122 Alliance in the Bermuda Race. Maggie accepted the J/122 Leading Edge third place fall series award for Tom and Diana. The picture below shows Bill & Cindy with the 1st place spring series award for J/109 Vento Solare.
Thank you for a great time.
That hour penelty seems steep.
If you look at yellow brick there were a few other boats in our class that were just inside that south east dot. Not sure how picky they were being.
Either way great work by everyone.
Enjoy the party.
Bill went to the protest hearing about our sailing in the exclusion zone to fix the spinnaker. The results of the protest was the RC added 1 hour to our corrected time. This put us in 2nd place for the youth entries. We would have had 1st in youth if not for this. Hope to see you all at the awards ceremony!
