Seth has issued an amendment to the Tuesday Night Racing Sailing Instructions.

So, midway through the 2021 season, Fleet 27 makes up about 20% of the North American Etchells membership. The exact ratio (21 of 109 or 21 of 102) depends on if you count the IECA co-owners, which are listed as if they are full members. (Per the current IECA bylaws, membership votes are limited to one per boat, even if there are co-owners.)

The race results including the July 6 races are now posted. The first throw-out has come into play for the overall season series. Let me know if you see an error in any of the results.

Note that Fleet 27 has 20 boats listed on the overall season series scoreboard.

Doug is organizing weekend racing for Etchells on Sunday, July 18. See NoR below. Contact Doug for more information.

The PYC’s Interclub Regatta, scheduled for July 11 for one-designs, is cancelled. See the link for more details.

Fleet Captain Jay has obtained several used, but race-able, Etchells sails from Ezra in Miami. These sails from the several elite Etchells programs that Ezra manages have a season or more on them, but plenty of life left for club racing here on Casco Bay. If you have interest in any particular sail please contact either Ehren Morse or Jay Corson.  We think these sails offer an opportunity to pick up some quality sails for very reasonable prices.

Etchells sailors… come out and race one-design in the PYC’s Pilot Regatta on Father’s Day, June 20. Skippers’ meeting at 1100 hrs. First warning signal at 1300 hrs. Sign up online at Regattaman.
