Greetings, PPYC
Rookies: sign up now for the September 12 Rookie Race
The Rookie Race is Saturday, September 12, from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. If you have thought about racing and have not done it yet, or you have raced a little and want a lower-pressure day, this is the one to put on your calendar.
The race will be a short triangle course with a generous start line. There will be coaching on the water. You do not need a racing résumé. You do need to register so we can get you on a boat.
If you already sail with a skipper, have them register too and tell them you are coming. Skippers who can take a rookie as a ride-along coach should sign up on the same page so we can match people.
We also need a small race-day team to help run the race. Volunteering for one of these slots is another way to join us on the water.
The first step is simple: if you want to race on the 12th, register this week.
Fred Bartrom,
Rookie Race Chair
Fall Volunteer Needs
In addition to the Rookie Race, we will need volunteers for the fall regatta season. Check the events calendar for opportunities to volunteer. Volunteers learn a lot about sailing, and for those who have enjoyed a great season of sailing on other members' sailboats, working an event is a great way to give back to the club for providing those sailing opportunities.
Happy Sailing,
Brian Dougherty
