Sailing Events Schedule For 2008
on Monday December 17, 2007 05:04PM
If you are interested in volunteering, please contact the commands of the various club divisions who have responsibility for staffing the events, or give generously of your time when they call you for assistance. The club could not maintain its full schedule of events without your support. The schedule is a complex undertaking and it is possible the Committee has overlooked something, so please direct any comments on the schedule to Noel Clinard at nclinard@hunton.com.
Highlights of this year's schedule include:
Opening Day is April 19 and has been denominated one of the Offshore Spring Series.
Junior Week is June 16-20, with Opti-Kids the two weekends before.
Leukemia Cup is July 11-13 with all events at FBYC. This event will require a significant volunteer effort by members of all the sponsoring clubs, including FBYC.
The Long Distance One Design Race is scheduled for Friday, July 4, followed by a One Design Summer Seabreeze on Saturday July 5.
Sailing Against SIDs has been consolidated with Indian Summer, again a one day event. The hope is that the synergy of these two events will breathe life back into Indian Summer and offer Sailing Against SIDs a unique fund raising opportunity. Thanks to Matt and A.L. Braun for undertaking this important event and trying this new schedule.
Significant efforts have been made to avoid conflicts with other local clubs and signature events such as Turkey Shoot, Southern Bay Race Week and Screw Pile.
The Annual Party on November 7 is just a placeholder at this point pending input from Social on location choice and availability. The actual date should be in the Sailing Events Book.
Thanks to the Committee for its focused effort over to draft this schedule and to Tom Roberts and Jon Deutsch for preparing the Schedule.
