Spring Series #1 leaves the standings very close (A couple of ties and races won by seconds!). We also saw some horizon jobs! Congratulations to Heeling Art - Spinn, Winsornaut - A Fleet, Rum Summer - B Fleet, and Resolution - Cruiser Fleet. Nicely done by all involved!
A big thanks to the volunteer committee. Without them we could not race.
So, come on out for Echo Bay (March 20th and 21st)!
Volunteer for the race committee in future regattas if you want to make a difference.
Cheers!
Folks,

The Las Vegas Sail and Power Squadron is presenting a sail trim and rig tuning seminar on Saturday, March 27th at 10 AM in the Boat House banquet room at the Lake Mead marina. We have space for 30-40 and there is no charge. You will be able to purchase seminar materials for $35 at the seminar. It will be taught by David Hoch, a US Power Squadron Instructor-in-Training.
This is the first regatta of the Spring Series!
If you have a sailboat and would like to race it is as easy as showing up. (or you can contact us and we will give some specifics) We race mono hulls using PHRF handicaps and can give you one on the dock. If you you do not have a boat we have plenty of folks that you can crew with. You do not need to have any experience.
The day starts at 9:00 AM with the Skippers Meeting where the Race Committee will spell out how the races will be run.
We try to have the races start by 10:30 AM and we are usually done by about 4:00 PM.
So, no matter your skill set, or if you have a boat or not, come on out and enjoy the lake and some sailing!

Winter Series 2010 Results
Although the first two weekends were a bust this weekend made up for it and the Winter Series 2010 was a great success. We had winds that ranged from 5 knots to 20 knots and the race commitee did a great job in getting three races in. Many thanks to Nicole our Fleet Captain, Joedy and Shay Sisler, and the Oski crew!!

All,
I would like to personally express my gratitude at this time to Fred and Cyndi Darling for their recent contribution to our club. At our February general meeting the Darlings generously donated a $5,000 check to the club for the first ever " RON DARLING MEMORIAL RACE" which will take place Memorial Day weekend. This race will be a long distance race that will encompass both the lower basin and the upper basin. I would like to send out a thank you to them both, this club wouldn’t be the same without them,

I just wanted all of you to know that the restaurant will not be open on Saturday for breakfast. They will be selling coffee in the store so that is good news. We will have the Chalk Talk on the patio at 8:00 AM as planned. They are cleaning and working on the restaurant to make it better for us in the future.
Hope to see you all on Saturday!
