PSU sailing: JV Regatta Recap and Upcoming Events

Hey Sailors,
Thank you to all who came out this weekend for our JV regatta. I am
extremely proud of the way PSU sailors placed given the amount of
experience and practice that many of you had.

Also I would like to congratulate Julia, Sky, and Kevin on winning
the Vancouver Lake Sailing Club's championships. They sailed a
Lightning - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lightning_(dinghy) and came
in first place every single race through out the day.

Practice this week will be, as always, Wednesday and Friday @ 3:30
rain or shine, wind or glass. For those of you going to Outlaw this
weekend, Friday practice is mandatory.

Frosh~Soph regatta is coming up on November 22 and 23rd. This
regatta is for first and second year college sailors to increase there
skills and knowledge of racing. Working much like the JV regatta we
had this past Saturday, this event is a really good way to become
comfortable on the race course. There will be more teams and boats on
the starting line which will help get you ready for bigger races and
regattas. if you would like to sign up for this, email adam (ajwhitex@gmail.com
)

A few people on the team were also talking about having a small non-
formal regatta the Saturday before Frosh~Soph, which would be November
15th. This would be a small event for PSU sailors and maybe LC as
well. we could setup a course and run races all day at WSC. It would
also give a chance for graduate, post-bac, and part time students to
sail. we could have at least 8 boats available giving 16 people the
chance to race. Would anyone be interested? if you would like to
sign up for this, email adam (ajwhitex@gmail.com)

See you all at practice,
-Tom Miron

"I am a citizen of the most beautiful nation on earth. A nation whose
laws are harsh yet simple, a nation that never cheats, which is
immense and without borders, where life is lived in the present. In
this limitless nation, this nation of wind, light, and peace, there is
no other ruler besides the sea."
