Upcoming Race Seminars at PYC

Hello Etchells Fleet,
I am passing along this message from the PYC Race Officer for three free sailing/racing seminars to be held Wednesday evenings this month. Please come join us for three evenings of fun. The PYC is also hosting a weekend of USSailing programs which will lead to club level certification in Race Management as well as Judging. These seminars do have a fee but run all day March 30 and 31. Additional information on these are available on the PYC website as well as USSailing.org. Attending any of these events will improve our Fleets competition as well as help racing in Casco Bay. We need more race officials with training, come join us. See you there.

Fleet 27 Chalk Talk

We have added a “Chalk Talk” section to the website, similar to a coach’s lecture at the end of a practice or a match in any sport. In our case, one or all of the crew that “won the day” write about what they did that resulted in their win. We hope to develop a consistent, simple format leading with the prevailing conditions to help the fleet compare the results from week to week.Read More »Fleet 27 Chalk Talk
