It’s now official, the spring 2010 Region 3 Seawind District Championship event will be sailed at GMYC in Greenville, SC!  This will be a terrific, challenging, and greatly enjoyable three-day event that will draw sailors from all over the country.  We hope to make it a memorable one for everyone.

The dates will be May 21-23, 2010.  More information about the event (including an official Notice of Race) should be forthcoming in the next couple of weeks.

Thanks to Jim Kransberger (Asheville, NC) and the Mid-South-Sailing organization for entrusting us with this honor.

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.
