41 boats on the NSC course, 14 laser/sailboard on the BYC course! This past Wednesday saw the largest turnout in a long while. Good wind and a fine effort on a busy night by the bosuns/volunteer race committee. Don’t forget there’s social/fun for little boats at Sunday Fundays, including borrow-a-dinghy for any qualified club member.
