The Leeward Reports Catch up on what you missed...

 
Travel Regatta - Boats are traveling this week down to the Helly Hansen Sailing World Regatta which will be held in St. Petersburg Florida. The race will be February 17-19. Several S2 7.9 boats and a Melges 24 are making the trek. Be sure to follow the action and root on our local sailors!  Click here to read more and see the pics as well as a link to the regatta site.
 
Cooking Class - 18 people were glad that we had cooking class last Saturday. Why, because the salmon, flounder and soup were excellent!  Tap here to read more and see the action.
 

Let's Go Sailing! Get in on these upcoming sailing events

 
The Force Five Regatta on March 25th has a little for everyone. We will run distance courses for a friendly competitive cruise around the lake. And there is an option for buoy races if there are enough One Design entries. So, Skippers, chase the spiders out of the cockpit. Crew, get out your deck shoes. Volunteers, launch the chase boats. LET'S GO SAILING! 
Boat owners do this: Our Nashville US Coast Guard Auxiliary Flotilla 11-06 is offering to do a Safety Vessel Check on your boat for free.  Appointments are currently being offered for April/May and onward.

Why should you receive this safety check?  Peace of mind that your boat meets federal safety standards, and that in an emergency, you will have the necessary equipment to save lives and summon help.

Introduction to Coastal Navigation is February 25th

Coastal navigation answers the questions, "where am I?"  and "How do I get to where I want to go?" This class will introduce you to the concepts that answer those questions and more.

U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary “Boat Tennessee” Course - March 4th

This course covers the requirements for Tennessee Boater Safety Education for those born after January 1, 1989 and will include the required exam for this state certification the day of the class. You don't have to take the test to take this course.  If you do want to take this state exam for your license, you will need to pre-purchase an exam ticket at any TWRA agent.

Race Committee Training - Sunday March 5th

We are partnering with Harbor Island Yacht Club to conduct some Race Committee training on Sunday 5 March at their clubhouse. This event is intended to be more practical on water training (playing with flags, horns and buoys etc.) as opposed to boring classroom training.  It should be fun!
 

Online Learning at the Helm

Don't wait for warmer days. Stay inside and join us for a series of "virtual" Learning at the Helm sessions on Tuesdays in March.  The first session will be on the 7th.
