Rookie Clinics and Racing
2008-04-22
The rookie series is a combination of clinics and races targeted for “rookies” or those wanting
to try racing or get started in racing. The format is educational and “low key”. You will be
expected to make a two day commitment – June 14th and July 12th. These two days will
begin with a clinic at the clubhouse. The topics include – safety, what to expect in your first
race, boat handling, rules and some basic race tactics. If we have time we will work on
increasing boat speed. On June 15th experienced racers will be available by appointment
to sail with rookies and provide personal on-the-water coaching in your boat.
Sign up will be on June 14th during the clinic.
The races are scored and trophies are given.
June 14th 1pm – New racer clinic. Rookie races 1, 2 and 3 following the clinic at the clubhouse
June 15th – Individual rookie racer on-board coaching sessions available by appointment
July 12th 1pm - New racer clinic and rookie races 4,5 and 6 following the clinic

49th Open Regatta !
2008-03-11
Regatta planning is in full swing!
We all went to the Colorado Sail and Yacht Club winter meeting to advertise the event and personally encourage racers to travel to our Regatta. The Chatfield sailors were pleased to hear that our lake is filling and several said they were intending to come to the Regatta. Please encourage racers that you know from other clubs to attend, by giving them registration forms, directing them to this website, .... or by any means fair or foul ...
The Registration Form and Notice Of Race can be found on the Racing page - please register early so we can organize and plan fleets. From the response from CSYC, we are hopeful of having good-sized fleets of Capri 22s and U20s ... so far. Check out the registration form to see the incentives for early registration.
We'll keep you posted .... Rosemary & Doug McKnight
