As you can see, we plan on having V15 fleet and team racing from 1:00pm to
3:00pm. We hope that at least 10-12 (preferably 12 to make the team races
even) boats will commit to sailing. We will start launching the boats at
11:00am, and need to have everyone in the water by 12:15 so the hoist area is
clear for our guests to spectate. Don't worry, we will string the tie up
line so your boats won't be banging into each other (same thing we did for
the NA's and the PCC's last year). For those of you who are comfortable
with the concept, we would like to take some of our guests out for a sail
when the boats are idle. We hope that those of you who aren't entertaining
people on the water or racing will volunteer to help out with the onshore
activities.
Once the Opening Day guests have left for the day (probably around
4:00-4:30pm), we are planning on having a BBQ/Keg party that will probably
go till around 11:00-12:00pm. Dave Byron, our resident fleet DJ, has
graciously agreed to provide the tunes and it looks like the StFYC Fresh
Crew will be bringing a crowd to enjoy the night with us. It should be a
lot of fun and a good way for us all to kick off the year in memorable
fashion. Depending on the motivation level, we may try and incorporate some
kind of fun team based V15 sailing event to keep things lively. Those of
you who have your own keelboats may want to bring them over and make it a
sleepover as Clipper Cove is a fantastic mooring area. There will be a
small per person charge to cover the beer and food expenses for the evening.
