Warm-Up Series Finals, Sunday At Steamboat Landing

After seven races in the 2012 Warm-Up Series, Bill and Gary Schmidt are leading the fleet in the competition for the Jack Daniel’s special edition tin (and the whisky inside the tin) that has been donated by East Avenue Liquor.

Races in the fourth and final week of the series will be held on Sunday, 22 April, 2012 on the docks behind Steamboat Landing and the races will begin at 2 p.m.

The list of skippers above also represents the current membership in Canandaigua RC Laser Fleet #14 so if your name isn’t on the list and you want to compete for awards, visit the online sign-up page and you can pay your dues with Paypal or a credit card.

We are going to be changing the calendar to reflect that we’ll be racing on Sunday afternoons at the city’s pump out dock behind Steamboat Landing docks the 2012 RC Laser North American Championship in June. This will help us figure out the logistics of getting boats in and out of the water quickly, the best ways to rescue a wayward boat and how much use those dock get on the weekends.

The 2012 Squaw Island Offshore Race is in the afternoon of Saturday, May 26.  Start making plans for who will be your on-the-water chauffeur or how you will follow your RC Laser up the lake and around Squaw Island and back. I think most sailors who competed last year will agree that this race was one of the most fun of all of our special races last year. Here is the link to sign up and pay your registration fee for the 2012 Squaw Island Offshore Race.

Finally, we are getting to the point where we are needing to estimate sailors competing in the 2012 RC Laser North American Championship. It would be nice to see full support from the Canandaigua Fleet. This is going to be a first-class regatta both on and off the water and we don’t have to travel for this one! Let’s start to spread the word and if you are sailing, please log on and sign up!
