Open to all club members. Previous racing experience not required. We will sail a mix of the club’s mid to larger size boats on a course outside the log boom. We will meet at noon to form crews and rig boats. Anyone who would like to review the basic racing rules come to the dock at 11:30.
This is a great opportunity to meet and sail with your fellow club members. I hope to see you on Saturday the 10th.
