Hi all –
Hope you are having a great summer and sailing as often as possible. Remember “time spent on the water is not subtracted from your total.” Some notes:
- The High Sierra regatta is next weekend! Please plan to attend – always a great regatta and place to sail. Registration and info here: https://www.fresnoyachtclub.org/high-sierra-regatta
I raced a Laser at Huntington Lake last weekend (the first weekend of the High Sierra regatta), and it was gorgeous and amazing as always. If you’d like to see three hours of racing compressed into 15 minutes, here’s a link: 240714 Laser HSR W1 D2 R3,4,5
- Please register for North Americans if you haven’t already:

And see my note below regarding the mini-duffel / cooler bags …
From an informal count it appears we’ll have about 15 participants, including some champions, ex-champions, champions from other classes, an Olympic Champion (!), and many great and friendly people.
- The Marina Del Rey fleet has been active all summer, sailing the “Shallow Water” series in the harbor, and “Sunstroke” races on Thursday evenings. Averaging about 5 boats for each regatta out of about 9 boats active. After 50 years we still have the most popular dingy in the harbor 🙂
A great innovation this year has been using “big boats” as the Race Committee. This has allowed people to go out on the water as guests to watch the racing, entertaining for them and the sailors too.
- Thanks to the Half Moon Bay fleet for the update on the Vice Commodore Regatta below, which featured 7 C-15s. Yay.
- Please keep your reports and pictures coming, and I’ll be delighted to relay. We all like to read about and see C-15s racing in other places. (Seattle fleet?)
Cheers and please stay tuned
