Saturday, July 18th is our Second Annual “Blue Chips” Charity Regatta, to benefit cancer research in memory of Nancy Valego. Nancy was a founding and lifetime member of the club who passed away two years ago. For many of our new members who did not know Nancy, her service to the club resulted in our ongoing commitment to teaching sailing. She was responsible for establishing OHSC as the educators for High Point University’s sailing class. That teaching arrangement has provided the club with the opportunity to keep our dues affordable, and keeps us in an ideal position to share our love and knowledge of sailing with young people who may make it a lifelong hobby. What better way to promote our sport!
The club’s board, when establishing this event, also decided to make it a charitable event, by requesting donations toward cancer research as an entrance fee. Checks can be made payable to a local cancer research organization, the “Susan G Komen Foundation” so you will have a receipt of your donation. Regatta t-shirts will be sold with proceeds contributed to cancer research as well.
In order to plan appropriately for breakfast and lunch, please sign up on the scratch sheet below and include your t-shirt size too. If you do not plan to race but will attend, please sign up on the bottom of the scratch sheet with your t-shirt size. Under “Boat”, list NONE so that you can be included in our head count. Volunteers, please list your shirt size, S-XXL next to your name.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. Looking forward to seeing you for this worthy cause!

Sunday is our Club training Day in which many members will be at the lake to sail. If you have paid for training and not yet been trained, Andy Squint, will be available at 1pm. At 2pm, everyone in attendance will get trained on sail shape. New members, this would be a great day to go to the lake!
Fair Winds!

OHSC had a beautiful day for our May regatta, with a turnout of approximately 33 in attendance including three guests, Bruce and Sally Leigh along with son Eric. Bruce and Sally were at our Open House this week and will officially become new members. The winds varied greatly for the 12 boats that sailed. One even got caught in a vortex. Ask Art Martz about that at our next social!
Thank you to Linda Shuee who provided morning refreshments along with new member Teri DeCurtis for handling apparel sales with Rosalie Austin. Teri also went out on the RC boat for the duration of the regatta to capture action photos.
Joe O’Sullivan was our PRO and will be missed greatly when he moves out of state in June to live near family. Joe as our First Vice Commodore embraced this position and has made great strides with Race Committee procedures and organization this season. Thank you for all your efforts! Thanks to Kim Walker, Mike Schram, Dan Shuee and Henry Dorn for handling race committee duties. During our Skipper’s meeting, Andy Squint and Phil Andrews reviewed overlapping rules.
We had some consistent results yesterday. Phil Andrews took first place in all three races, Tait And Leslie Humphries took second place and new member, Eddie Sawyer third place.
