The Fall 2009 High School Sailing season is in full gear! With the promise of sunny skies and big breeze, we have another huge turnout for the Fall 2009 sailing season. We held our first official practice on Monday with a steady 8 knot breeze and warm temperatures. We had another record turnout with 36 sailors out on the water for the first day. Fortunately we had all twelve of our 420’s in full working condition for the busy first day. Most of the sailors had been practicing their skills all summer. Many sailors raced in the popular youth events held down on Lake George, such as the Cheeseburger Regatta. Other high school sailors participated in a racing clinic held at Harvard University in August. With boat handling skills fresh in the minds and muscles of our sailors, we are ready for a competitive season with our NESSA events. Our team has officially signed up for 4 events all over New England. We most recently signed up for the Gleekmann Funfest qualifier held on the ever so popular Charles River in Boston. The combination of these NESSA sanctioned events as well as our “Fun” regattas here at the CSC should make for endless opportunities to sail this fall and advance our skills in the boat. See you out on the racecourse. Coach Mike
