Sign up NOW for the Family Regatta!!!

Blake Kimbrough on Sunday May 22, 2022 08:11AM

This coming Saturday is our annual Family Regatta - always a crowd pleasing one design event marked by tremendously casual yet competitive fun. Don’t forget to get your team registered and bring the whole family out for a great time on the water: https://www.regattanetwork.com/event/24653

We’d love to see an abundance of Melges 15s, Flying Scots, and perhaps other fleets out on the line. Skippers meeting is 10:30am followed by first gun at Noon. Typical format is several short races to allow for plenty starts and lots of mixing it up in close action. Creative team uniforms and goofing off are highly encouraged.

Join us this weekend for Offshore’s Spring Invitational!

What is it? Its the last weekend of Offshore’s Spring Series of races? Whats the big deal? I just said, its the last of the Spring Series of races.

The long range forecast looks great. Warm temperatures with southeast winds. Come out for 2 days of big boat racing. If you can't make both days, come out for one( we'll cut your entry fee in half). Our plan is the spinnaker boats will race windward/leeward courses on Saturday while the Non-spinnaker and Cruising class boats will race a mid-distance government mark course (we’re targeting a length of 2 ½ hours). After racing will have an enhanced social with music and a cookout arranged by Glenn and Becca …

The Start of the One Design Spring Series

Rick Peterson on Monday May 9, 2022 07:46AM

The Start of the One Design Spring Series.

Saturday the 30^th of April was almost a picture-perfect day for the start of the One Design Spring Series. Goldilocks temperatures, forecasted for 7-10 kts of breeze, partly cloudy, in short, a beautiful day on the water.

Even better, we had 18 boats registered, 16 sailed in three (3) one design fleets with one (1) Portsmouth boat. The Flying Scots, with A and a B fleets (ability grouped), ICLA Dinghy’s (Lasers) and the new Melges fleet were all well represented.

We managed to get in three races, in increasingly shift wind conditions. Trying to fetch the windward mark was mystery game of guessing which way the shift would go. Keeping …
