Hi! I'm writing about our Fall regatta at Marsh Creek Sailing Club, scheduled for Saturday October 11. We've published a NOR for the typical ILCA / Laser fleet, but we have heard occasional inquiries about including Sunfish and we like that idea. One of our beloved emeritus members passed away this past spring, Fred Glasier, and he was an excellent Sunfish sailor in the past when Sunfish were active in our club. We are naming our fall regatta in his memory this year.
The Proposal:
Yes, it's late, but still...if 4 Sunfish sailors agree to participate, we'll amend the NOR to include a separate start for Sunfish and promote this to the Sunfish class and try to get more participants. The regatta is 4-1/2 weeks away, on October 11. We should set a deadline of September 23 to decide.
Conditions are usually great in early October, the lake is a beautiful place to sail, and we'll make sure we put on a well-run regatta.
Please spread the word to your Sunfish contacts to connect with me and I'll keep them informed about how we are doing toward assembling a Sunfish fleet for this regatta. We'd like to do it.
The basic plan is... Saturday October 11. Marsh Creek Lake; Downingtown, PA. 9:30-10:15 registration; 10:30 Skipper's meeting; 11:15 first start. 6 races planned, followed by lunch and awards. $35 for guests, including State Park launch permit. Register on-site.
Please put the word out, or inform me yourself if you can come or get some other interested sailors aboard. Why you? Well, one way or another, something has led me to think that you may have connection to some Sunfish sailors. I hope so!
Sincere thanks,
Vince Harris, MCSC commodore
