Racing Season Begins

Racing Season has finally begun!

Last Sunday was the first week of Sunday Racing at MCSC. There was a pretty good turnout with 7 Ensigns, and one Soling. Conditions were excellent but a bit cold with a stiff NE wind at about 13 knots. This week will be week 2, and we hope for a better turnout. We have 13 Ensigns, 2 J24's, and 3 solings available for racing.

This week also marked the first nights for Tuesday Laser and Dinghy Racing, and Milwaukee Yacht Club's Wednesday night racing series. Although the conditions left something to be desired with variable and shifts winds both events had a pretty good turnout. The 470 fleet was otherwise occupied with regattas in Lake Opeka, and Lake Carlyle leaving the Tuesday starting line to the Lasers.

Those interested in sailing on Wednesday Nights on Solings and J24s, should contact MCSC, and post a comment on the blog. There are plenty of interested people out there, so lets get organized and make our presence known on both the starting line and finish line.

Wednesday Night Racing at South Shore Yacht Club begins next week as does MAST Racing on Friday Nights.
