A few of us are going to do some fun racing at Hartness this Wednesday afternoon around 5pm.  Marks are already in for anyone wanting to start earlier.

Hope to see several of you there!

Had a great afternoon of racing at Hartness today.  There were three of us, Me, Myself, and I.  I did great and won 3 of 3.  Myself got 2 seconds and a third, leaving poor me with 2 thirds and a second.  Light air but still better than being at work. And no, I am not schizophrenic, just bored.

We got in a bunch of races in and out of the foul weather at Green Pond Yacht Club (GPYC) on Saturday.  The wind wasn’t incredibly cooperative but we did get in a bunch of racing – GMYC was well represented and the top three had one sailor from each of the mid-south sailing clubs.  Photos coming soon!  Results as follows:

1. Johnson        17 AYC
2. Kohl              29    GMYC
3. Pitt               31 GPMYC
4. Provost         47 AYC
5. Kransberger   58 AYC
6. McGrath        69 GPMYC
7. Bogardus       75* GMYC
8. Owens           84 GMYC
9. Zander           87 GMYC
10. Strickland      96 GMYC
11. Farley          97** GPMYC

Last night, during our funsail, we left marks in the water at the pond so we will have them to start racing immediately during the evenings.  We’ll try to setup a regular meeting time during the week (probably Wednesday evenings).

Remember the Anderson regatta this Saturday!  We’re expecting a great turnout.  Please click the link on the schedule to the left or contact us for more information.

We added a couple of new events this week and added a couple of larger area events to the calendar.  In light of the upcoming Mid-South-Sailing regatta in Anderson on the 19th, we’ve decided to get together for the next couple of Wednesday evenings to get tuned up.  We’ll meet starting around 5pm and sail until sometime around 7.  We probably won’t have formal racing but will try to have some marks in the water.  Contact myself or Tim for more information.

A couple of us are getting together for an informal “chase the rabbit” sail tomorrow evening at just after 5pm.  We won’t have marks in the water but may engage in some pursuit races … or we may just sail around.  This will be at Hartness Lake at our usual spot (see the directions page – link at the top of the website).  It’s supposed to be in the mid 70’s with with 10 to 15 mph wind!  Come join us if you can.

The Tri-Club Anderson Seawind Regatta is scheduled at Green Pond Yacht Club in Anderson, SC on September 19. It’s a FREE regatta that starts at 10am sharp. We expect somewhere around 20 Seawinds to attend! Join the fun! More information coming here soon – watch the event calendar to the left for updates.
