FBYC Junior Race Teams Roll On!

Since our last update on July 7th (covering our first six summer regattas), the Race Teams have raced non-stop, with no let up in winning regattas from Hampton, Virginia to Hyannis, Massachusetts, while having FUN along the way!

FBYC Summer One-Day Laser Regatta This Sunday
on
The Laser Fleet at Fishing Bay welcomes you to come join us this Sunday, July 27th, for our club one-day Summer race. The weather looks perfect for a Summer day of Laser Sailing - 90 and mostly sunny, wind from the SW at 8-10. Water temps are a pleasant 76 degrees and the nettles are few, so it should be an ideal day to be on the water. We will have a mix of skilled and veteran sailors out there, so no matter what your skill level, we look forward to seeing you there. Of course, the pool is open, if you want to bring the family. We also have plenty of other kid-friendly entertainment options. And we can set up …

Summer Sea Breeze 1 Results
on
Once Hurricane Aurthur blew through it was smooth sailing for the Flying Scots and Front Runners at the first One Design Summer Sea Breeze regatta on Saturday. What was clouds with winds in the 30's just a day before gave way to mostly sunny skies and 8-10 knot winds for 4 races run by PRO Mike Dale and his race committee. Thanks to Veronica Hinckle for some pictures.

Long Distance Race Change to NOR: New Course
on
In anticipation of somewhat breezy conditions possible for the Long Distance race this Friday we have changed the NOR to add an additional course #5 to the event. This course will be sailed entirely in Fishing Bay and not around Stove Point. Given the forecast of northerly winds this should give a protected venue for fun safe racing! The new course #5 is as follows:
- Start at #12,
- windward to "Y", drop mark in F.B. leave to port
- Proceed to #15 honoring #13, leave to port
- Round #15 leaving to port
- Proceed to #12 honoring #13 to starboard
- Round #12 leaving to port
- Finish at Mr Roberts near FBYC dock

Opti Kids
Paul and Julie Ann Wash, assisted by ODT Coach Austin Powers and 40 parents and grandparents, finished the second week end of Opti Kids on June 14 & 15 with a cook out for 100 and an exciting sail to the far beach in Fishing Bay. All 34 kids looked like old pros by the end of the class, thanks to the calm and patient teaching of Paul, Julie Ann and Austin. Not a tear was shed, and all are promising to come back for more sailing at FBYC! Perhaps just as importantly, the parents and grandparents …

Nanuq looking strong in Class 3
on
The Class 3 boats in the Newport Bermuda Race include both FBYC boats - Carina and Nanuq. If you visit Bermuda Race Tracking you will see that in the last day or so, Nanuq has done an end run around most of the class and is now 34 nm from Bermuda. The white (Carina), red and yellow boats behind Nanuq are 48-50 miles away from Bermuda and are moving 2 knots or less, while Nanuq is going 4.7 knots. She shows 20th in IRC overall which is the best score shown for any of the other Class 3 boats - Carina being 21st, and that purple boat to Nanuq's west is motoring having retired.
