Here is a note from the Alamitos Bay Sailing Foundation!
Hit the Road Kids: traveling to sailing regattas is one of the best parts about our sport. You get to sail in new venues, visit cool places, meet new friends and hone your skills against top competition. And then come back to tell your friends what a great trip it was. Maybe you want to go to the 29er Nationals this summer on the east coast, or Laser PCCs at the Columbia River Gorge or Opti Nationals to name a few. We are looking into organizing a trailer and coach to the Laser PCCs at the Gorge this summer and there are spots available on the 29er class trailer for sending 29ers cross country too.
This Past Week’s Events:
Last weekend ABYC kicked off the sailing season with a fantastic 92nd Opening Day! Three juniors raced in the club championship regatta held and did some work on the rest of the fleet. The first race they scored a low 2 but tough conditions led to them falling behind. Congratulations to the Lido fleet representatives Bruce and Bob for claiming victory! Unfortunately, some of our Juniors were not able to attend opening day, instead finishing out their fall/spring season with Carrie #6 at King Harbor Yacht Club.
Conditions proved to be tricky on the first day, but Nicholas Mueller and Tate Christopher held on and finished in fifth and eighth respectively. Check out the final results posted

to see all of the scores!
This Upcoming Week:
Friday, ABYC Juniors will be cruising the bay. Come and join them, there are only 2 Friday on the Bay sessions left! If you have any questions call the Junior Sailing Office. Sabots take on the new season with a clinic this Saturday at 11am. Lasers have a busy weekend at ABYC, sailing once again with Coach Paul Didham on Saturday!
