A
pril 21-22: ABYC Spring Spruce Up- Junior Volunteers Needed:
ABYC's annual Club Spruce-Up is on April 21st and 22nd. Junior volunteers, both parents and juniors, are needed to help us reach our goals. Lunch will be provided by the club, so come on down and have some fun with your friends!
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:
This last week, ABYC played host for the CISA Advanced Racing Clinic. A massive amount of effort went into preparing California’s top sailors for their future of sailing. Much further North, one of our Optis competed in the Harken #2 at San Francisco YC, placing 11
th
overall in champ fleet! Sunday was our Opti spruce up, cleaning and caring for our boats before Summer begins.
This Upcoming Week:
This weekend we have our normal weekly events with High School Sailing and Friday on the Bay as well as our Laser Sunday.
This Saturday and Sunday, Optis are travelling to CBYC for a combined clinic with CBYC & KHYC coaches and sailors! This is a fantastic opportunity to tune and work on your skills against the same very sailors you have been, and will be, racing against! Reach out to Coach Nick at
headcoach@abyc.org
if you have not already RSVP’d for this event! We also have a Sabot Clinic on Saturday, be rigged and ready at 11! CFJ’s hold their 6
th
clinic for the Spring, working with Coach Jake on their boat handling and boat speed!
