The above link is to the 2015 OHSC Volunteer signup sheet. Please look at your calendars and decide when you can serve on Race Committee, Refreshments or Apparel Sales. Go to the link and type in your name on the month you would like to serve. Ideally, we SHOULD HAVE A MINIMUM OF FOUR TO FIVE ADULTS signed up for each race date on RC for safety reasons. Once you have signed up, you will be contacted just prior to your scheduled date by Joe O’Sullivan for Race Committee, Carrie Clemmer for refreshments or Melissa Palmer for Apparel Sales.

OHSC held its Opening Day Regatta on Saturday, April 18th, with a turnout of approximately 33 in attendance including one guest. We had warm, sunny weather and very low winds for our 16 boats who sailed.
Thank you to Carrie and Billy Clemmer who provided morning refreshments along with new members Dari and Lauren Starkey for handling apparel sales. This was the first regatta since our new Race Committee and safety procedures were put in effect. The entire RC team did a stellar job and should be commended! Thanks to Carl Simmons, Tait Humphries, Linda Marsh, John Fulcher and Sean Hommel for handling race committee duties. Tait went over some basic safety instructions and Andy Squint reviewed right-of-way rules before we began.
It was great to see different race winners. Congratulations to Paul Walter who won Race 1. Also, congratulations to Race 2 winners, Melissa Palmer and Rosalie Austin. Race 3 was cancelled due to weather. Congratulations to Chuck Reavis for consistent sailing with two 3rd place finishes. (Paul, I guess you owe yourself $20 and Melissa $20. This could get expensive!)
Full results and scoring are attached below…

OHSC members,

Our first regular season regatta will be on Saturday, April 18th. Due to the cold water conditions and higher winds this time of year, it is recommended that you sail with proper gear like a wetsuit, spray jacket, etc.
Race Committee will be handled by Tait Humphries, Linda Marsh, John Fulcher, and Sean Hommel. Refreshments handled by Carrie and Billy Clemmer and Apparel Sales by Dari and Lauren Starkey. Please bring cash or check for OHSC apparel purchases.
If you plan to participate, please sign up at the Scratch Sheet link below. If you are sailing and have crew, please include both names. If you would like to crew for someone, sign up in that area.
I would encourage our NEW members to come out and join us in the morning to socialize even if you do not plan to sail.
All boats should be rigged and READY to sail before 10:30am when we will be holding the Captain’s meeting at the shelter.

Fair winds,

I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season with their loved ones!

The OHSC Board will start planning soon for our upcoming regular sailing season beginning in April. In 2015, we are asking each of you including your spouse/significant other to consider your time and talents and let us know if there are some areas in which you would like to help the club. I have already had some members volunteer to help in several areas. If you have not responded yet and would like to participate, please respond to me by January 15th. Shortly thereafter, the appropriate Board member will contact those volunteers.
The areas of need include the following committees:
Boat maintenance – this involves ensuring our club boats and equipment are well maintained and organized throughout the sailing season.
Publicity- promote the club as well as any special events that we host.
Refreshments – set up refreshments on regatta days and at special events.
Teaching – train new club members.
Race Committee – handle course set up and training for RC volunteers.
Apparel Sales – take apparel orders prior to each regatta and during special events.
Socials – help plan monthly socials.
Since we have grown so much in the past few years, one of the benefits has been that we have been able to spread out the responsibilities of the club. The more members who get involved, the more we can continue to do that, thus giving everyone more opportunity to enjoy sailing.
Looking forward to hearing you!
Just a reminder….Please submit your 2015 member dues payable to Oak Hollow Sailing Club for $40 for a family or $15 for a student before March 1, 2015. Please mail to: OHSC C/O Linda Marsh, 4904 Carolwood Drive, Greensboro NC 27407.
