This Saturday SYSCO is holding Match Racing for one-design fleets. If you haven’t tried match racing, this is your chance. A one-hour seminar precedes the racing. Register at SailPDX.
The PYC Robert A. Smith Regatta is October 5 and 6. This is always a fun race where the wind and current can do anything. Relax on the PYC patio after the racing. Register at SailPDX.
CYC’s Sailing on Sunday begins October 13 and runs through March 1, with no races on Sundays, December 1, 22 and 29. The first start will be 1300 hours each Sunday. All fleets may be started together, or sequentially at the discretion of the Race Committee. All competitors are expected to volunteer as Race Committee one Sunday in the series. The committee boat receives first place the day they volunteer. Register online to race or to volunteer.
Registration is open for the OCSA Tropical Party. Register at SailPDX and invite your team, family and friends! You can either purchase additional tickets with your registration or ask your crew to register separately.
And don’t forget to nominate sailors for the 2019 OCSA Awards. Every year we recognize the outstanding members of our sailing community who make it the vibrant community that it is. There are four awards (each with a perpetual trophy) that are presented each year. The awards are as follows:
Sailor of the Year : the individual who has gone beyond the call of duty in their contributions to the sailing community
Good Times : the sailor who always seems to have the most infectious good time
Welcome Slough : the sailor who has put forth extra effort to be involved in the sailing community
US Sailing Sportsmanship : the sailor who has exhibited Corinthian sportsmanship both on and off the water
Please think about the people you know that deserve recognition and let us know about them. The process is simple – just go to this link and submit your nomination through October 20th. Your suggestions are confidential. Input is very welcome from all sailors, not just OCSA members, so please share this message to your team members. And feel free to go back to the site to nominate additional people up until the Oct 20 cut off.
