Good morning all,
For those interested in a weekend event, the Centerboard Regatta has been rescheduled for this Saturday. Matt Minson will welcome any and all Etchells sailors to join in the fun and I am forwarding the race info to you to ponder. It is usually a fun day with various wind and current considerations, often on more than one leg of the course. The weather looks fine for a Saturday race.
Sunday is also looking beautiful for the second leg of the State of Maine Laser Championships, being held at PYC. Skippers meeting at 10:30, first race begins at noon. Come and join the fun on the only COVID safe boat any of us can fit into. For those dreading sailing a mere 8 inches above the water, come out to watch or hitch a ride on the RC or mark/safety boats. Come see the likes of Jamie C, Chris M, John M, Michael B, Justice P, Ed R, Jack Z, and other Etchells notables duking it out with other singlehanders, rooting, hooting, and hollaring welcomed. Chris Morin has more details, contact him FMO.
George Holt, renowned sailor, PYC launch attendant and good all around helper, is still available for your diving needs. He has scheduled diving for Tuesdays and can have your boat sparkling clean by 4:00 Tuesday afternoon for $35. George can be easily reached at 207-671-6076. His email is [email protected]. He does great work, is independant, and remember, takes you out and back to your boats from the PYC this summer before college beckens in the fall.
That’s all I have for today. Next Tuesdays weather is looking beautiful, keep those fingers crossed. Good luck on your weekend plans, stay safe, and hope to see you on the water.

Dear Tim,
Don’t forget this Saturday is the Centerboard Regatta! Entry is $40 and no late fee will apply unless you sign up the morning of the race. Upon finishing a to-go bag of burgers and refreshments will be provided at no cost for your crew to enjoy while returning to port.
