Hello Etchells sailors,
Your Fleet Captain is emptying out the warehouse before the big transition to your new Fleet Officers next week. We have accumulated some nice items from past Lobster Bowls and proceeds from our sail sale leftovers which were traded for merchandise at Sea Bags that we would love to pass along to you. The Holidays will be upon us before we know it and these clean, unworn, and unused items would be perfect for your family, friends, and crew.

Good morning all,
We had another practice start, as well as two good races ably run by Jay Corson, Dave White, and Bill Conners on Tuesday. The wind held, but we ran out of time for a third race for the first time this year due to the approaching sunset.

Local and Regional Regattas Planned for 2020
Good day Etchells sailors,
Some of you may already seen this but for those who have not, I am forwarding news of the SailMaine 24 fundraiser. This new event will be open to ten teams of ten people, each will be expected to fundraise $250 each and come 1600hrs. June 26 will start the epic Le Mans like 24 hour marathon of sailing to see which team can complete the most laps on the course finishing Saturday June 27 at 1600. I am wondering if there is interest from our Fleet to enter as a team? I am sure 10 or more folks would like to sail a shift of overnight J/22 racing around Portland Harbor or be shore support for the sailors. It would be a great way to advertise Etchells sail in Casco Bay. I welcome replies pro and con to this idea and for team members interested in participating in SailMaine 24. Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns.
