PSU sailing: Sailing Updates

Hey Sailors,

A few quick updates:

1. We had an awesome time in Orcas Island this weekend.  Saturday was a blast, but since winds picked up and were extremely puffy they called it around 4.  Today there was no wind, so we ended up just drifting around for a bit.  In the end we had 3 races and won 2 of them.  Julia and Adam were extremely fast all weekend, and even got a first place in one of the races.  Sky and Stephan did some great blocking.  Kenji....well, he's just a machine.  Nick and Graham sailed with our canadian friends and helped us win our first race.  Over all we had a great time.

2. This coming weekend is the LC JV regatta at WSC.  If you would like to sail in it, please email me as soon as possible (tmiron@gmail.com).  I need a final head count by wednesday so that i can tell LC how many of our boats they can borrow to charter out.  This is a fun regatta and a great way to gain experience.  It will only be first and second year college sailors skippering the boats so the competition will be evened out a bit. 

3. In order to travel we need two certified drivers per car.  When we go to canada cup in 2 weeks we need 4 certified drivers. The next driver training is from 3-4pm Tuesday March 3rd in Smith 326. Please bring your driver's license with you.  there is more info here:

The more drivers we have the better!

4. We still have t-shirts for sail.  There are pictures attached of what they look like.  The blue one is $10 and the green one is $7.  Please email Julia with which shirt and size you want so she can bring it to practice for you.  julecell@gmail.com

See you all at Practice Wednesday,
