Attention NSC Women Sailors: The initial Notice of Race for the 2016 Sail Canada Women’s Keelboat Championships hosted by BYC September 15 to 18, right here on our own river, has just been issued. Online registration opens May 1st for the first 35 eligible Shark boat teams that enter.
Some Loaner Boats will be available. For more information and future news, see the BYC regatta page listed in the NOR, or the Sail Canada site here. Or contact the Chair Natalie Foy at womenchampionship@byc.ca.
Due to the ongoing extremely poor air quality and for the safety of our staff and members, Fleet Captain has made the decision to cancel all dinghy racing for June 7. Decisions on racing Thursday will be taken in due course. The club’s bar and The Galley are open, but there will be no service…
The large green buoy, K1, marking the western edge of Britannia Shoal, is now back where it should be – see this chart.
If you plan to use the standing cranes at NSC to launch, haul-out, de-mast or mast your boat, you must have participated in a “crane familiarization” session. If you haven’t done so already, signup is done online. A crane familiarization session will be held at the North Crane on Saturday, October 1 at 8:00 AM.
Congratulations to NSC members Rune Lausten and Jochen Mikosch who finished second in the Fireball US Nationals held last weekend at the Pymatuning Sailing Club in Ohio.
Are you interested in joining with others to help take your mast down? Joining others to take down your mast cooperatively is both faster and safer & saves a few bucks. It is also a great opportunity for members to meet each other and work together like a Club!
Book now for NSC’s most popular upriver event of the summer.
