GBCA Discussion Forum

Hey ladies, sorry I'm late stirring the pot on this one....I'm registered!  Let's see if we can't fill the clubhouse this Saturday night with a flock of chicks for the annual GBCA Women's Regatta (aka - Chick on the Stick). 

I'm taking Shaken out, looking to have a full crew of some oldies but goodies (old school GBCA women), with Walter doing any heavy lifting for us (don't worry honey, no coconut bra required).  Grab a boat, get registered by Wednesday at 5pm, and come on out and join the fun. 

You know our Rear Commodore Amy and her trusty helpers will have the place all decked out for us Saturday evening, with the A/C cranked - so let's fill the room with the sound of laughter and champagne corks!   

====== (_  ~~~~~~~  WooHoo!!!


See ya (on the water),

Howdy all you Captains of single, double, SOS, crew overboard, previously committed, or couldn't get another hall pass for the weekend racers!  Now is your time to shine.  Come on out and show your single and double handed skills this Saturday in the annual Conundrum regatta. 

NOR is posted, folks are registering, don't be left out.  Call your friends and foes to help your classes form.

Imagine your name on this trophy....(see attachment).  You can have it here, but only if you register and get out on the bay for our first big regatta of the year.  Rumor has it that it's going to be a great turnout, we have 46 registered racers right now, with a few yet to enter.  If you're in a class with less than 3 boats, get on the phone this weekend and stir up a few others to come out so you can race in your chosen class.

The weather looks to be awesome.  The competition will be as good as anything you'd find on either the east or west coast.  The RC will have you racing hard.  The party will be nothing short of epic.  The stories will live forever.  Come be a part of it.

Oh, and we have cool GBCA swag for sale too, so bring you credit card, cash, or check.

Your Rear Commodore at your Service,

Sent to me by Anne Lee, here's the details.  This would be a great follow up to those that attended our recent intro to racing seminar.  Let's support this, and maybe round up some additional entries for the GBCA Women's Regatta.  What a great time to apply those recently learned skills!

Please add to your notices that HYC is hosting a ?Road to Rolex? clinic in J22s on Aug. 29 & 30.  Terry Flynn is our coach.   This is in preparation for the RIWKC in Rochester N.Y. in October.  The clinic is partially supported by US Sailing.  However you do not have to be participating in the RIWKC to attend the clinic.

Terry is  a wonderful coach, and coached the local gals who sailed in the last RIWKC in Houston.  He covers starting, sail trim, boat handling, tactics & more!   Whether you are a J22, J80, or PHRF racer, you will definitely gain from this. The clinic will be videoed. 

The clinic will be limited to 9 or 10 boats.  Some gals from Dallas, Austin & possibility Oklahoma may want to join us.  So early registration will be a good idea.  We expect to open registration next week.  I?m not sure of the entry fee or form of registration just now ? will publish this a.s.a.p.

Any more questions ? Call me @ 832 250 3387, or email annlan@comcast.net  Also Marie Wise, sailmom@gmail.com

Thanks, Anne Lee
