Race Information: 2017 Club RacingThe 2017 race season begins Wednesday beginning Wednesday June 6 and every other week thereafter throughout the summer. Racing is fun and competative and club members encourage people to come out and give it a try. All skill sets are welcome. It was a picture perfect night on the water. Sunny, low 70s, with 10 to 12 mph winds from the Northwest. If only we had enough time for a third race. But the sun is starting to go down pretty early this time of year, so we had to settle for 2, and get our boats put away before full dark. Thank you Bob Swobota and John Volrath for the excellent RC work.

Thank you to Stewart Doty, Mike Koss and Bill Knudson for handling the race committee duties.
The winds were ok at the start, but faded on the second lap, so we were only able to get 1 race in. I did manage to get my first foul of the year out of the way by trying to port tack Bill soon after the start and making him change course. Maybe I’ve learned my lesson for the year. I suspect not.
