Oak Hollow Sailing Club

Our May regatta was this past Saturday, May 21, with about 36 members present along with several guests. We had very warm, sunny weather with winds around 3-5kts with averages much less than that. Thirteen boats participated in the regatta.

Race committee was handled by PRO Alan Taylor with a crew of newbies including Teri DeCurtis, Dean and Debra Mattern and Bruce Leigh.   Considering the challenging, light wind and constant wind shifts, they did a tremendous job running two races in those conditions.  Also volunteering were Rosalie Austin and Sally Leigh, who handled the apparel sales. Thank you ladies and gentlemen for volunteering!  Congratulations to Paul Walter and Michael Nordahl who were the two individual race winners.  Three of the five “Women on the Water” sailors participated.  One of these women, Annette Grefe, took her hand at the helm and placed second in both races!

OHSC held its first 2016 regatta on Saturday, April 16, with about 23 members present along with several guests. We had beautiful weather with winds up to around 10 mph, with averages somewhat less than that, and temperatures reaching the mid-60’s. Twelve boats participated in the regatta.

Race committee was handled by Tait Humphries, Phil Andrews, Stephanie DeLair, Linda Marsh and John Fulcher.  Also volunteering were Rosalie Austin and Dari Starkey, who handled the apparel sales. Thank you ladies and gentlemen for volunteering!  We were able to complete three races.  Congratulations to Chuck Reavis, Spencer Sherrill and Paul Walter who were the three individual race winners. Sue Cole and guest Jeff Swing, sailed the most consistently and finished with a 2nd and two 3rd place finishes.

Handicap scoring and full race results are attached.

Are you ready for some sailing?!? ⛵️

Oak Hollow Sailing Club will be kicking off our 2016 season with our first regatta this Saturday, April 16th, at the North Marina, with Captains’ Meeting scheduled for 10:30 a.m.

All sailors who plan to sail should have their boats rigged BEFORE the meeting begins.  Race committee duties are being handled by Phil Andrews, Tait Humphries, Linda Marsh and John Fulcher.  Plan to eat breakfast before you arrive and bring water to drink.

The forecast is for temps to be around 60 degrees during rigging with a high of 68 for the day.   Please dress accordingly. Winds are projected be be 8-13 knots during our race hours.  As we all know, that will probably change significantly before Saturday.

If you plan to sail or want to crew, please go to the link below to sign up on our scratch sheet. Also, for members without boats, the club has Sunfish available for rent (and the City Marina has several for rent), if you are trained and want to skipper your own boat.  Please contact Paul Walter at pewalterjr@yahoo.com to reserve a club Sunfish.  The Sunfish rental fee is waived for students on regatta days.
