OHSC kicked off its 2013 sailing season on Saturday, April 20th, with its first regatta of the season. A cool morning with about 10 mph winds (with heavier and frequent gusts) greeted 10 of our sailors. With the cold morning temperatures and still cold water temperatures, two boats opted not to sail, so we ran three races with 8 boats. Thanks to Leslie and Tait Humphries for the morning refreshments, and thank you to Kim Walker, Mark Benham and Paul Walter for serving on race committee.

Congratulations to Phil Andrews and Tait Humphries as race winners (Phil in races 1 and 2, and Tait in race 3) and to Warren Mitchell for consistent performances in all three races.

Thank you to all who came out today to support the club. Nancy, it was great to see you today after your week in Disney World with your grandchildren!

Next event will be our Open House at the City Marina on Tuesday, May 14th, at 6:30 p.m., where we invite interested folks to an Introduction to Sailing. All members are welcome to attend so we can answer questions from prospective sailors.

Thanks,

Paul Walter

To all Oak Hollow Sailing Club Members:

Attached please find the advertising information for our Open House and Fun Days (poster and club brochure) that will be placed at the marina and advertised around town in various locations. If you have any friends who are possibly interested in sailing, please forward this to them so they have the dates and times. The best advertisement for our club is “word-of-mouth” (or emails) from our members to their friends.

The Open House (on Tuesday, May 14, 6:30 p.m.) is a casual gathering intended to introduce anyone new (who is interested in sailing) to our club officers and members – we discuss the club briefly and introduce some basic sailing concepts in the Marina’s conference room. This is NOT a required meeting by any means – just an ice breaker for folks who are trying to decide if they want to sail, and/or join the sailing club. The Sunday, May 19, Fun Day will be the main day you will want to try to attend. It will be with our sailboats and members, and is a combination of introduction to sailing, actual sailing, fellowship, and refreshments. We have added another day like that to our events calendar this year which will be Saturday, June 22. Our plan is to use that day for a more formal training and teaching day for our new members who need instruction.

We hope to see you for any, or all of those events.

Thanks!
