SWIFT SOLO NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS âO9
HUNTINGTON LAKE, CALIFORNIA
Itâs time to commit to the sunny days in California. Chris and I have been
working to finalize the â09 championships. Following are the details:
LOCATION: HUNTINGTON LAKE.
Nestled in the Sierras, at 7,000 ft, the lake is surrounded by granite peaks
and pine trees, offering the best and most consistent sailing on the west
coast. Each day in the summer a thermal wind rolls in as regular as clockwork
building from 9 to 18 knots, calming by 6:00 pm. Add to the goods a launching
ramp, a beach to pull the boats up on, great camping, good weather (sunny
nearly every day), and good racing, itâs a hard place to beat. Check it out
at
_http://www.huntingtonresort.com/_ (http://www.huntingtonresort.com/)
WHEN: Monday, JULY 13th â Friday, JULY 17th
SCHEDULE: Boats arrive weekend of July 11th -12th
CLINIC: Monday and Tuesday, July 13th -14th
Bram has graciously agreed to run the clinic on Monday and Tuesday. This is
a great opportunity for freshmen to take a huge leap forward and for others
to really hone up on their skills. Chris and I have already committed to
this. Bram is not racing now and is making a special trip to Huntington to run
this clinic. There is a small bay to the north of the launch site which should
provide a more sheltered water to practice on.
RACING: Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, July 15th -17th
Hosted dinner and awards on Friday evening, July 17th
Boats depart the weekend of July 18th -19th.
COST: $155.00 per person for the week, which covers racing, dinner, prizes,
t-shirt, chase boat (does not include the CLINIC, which is an additional
$100.00 per person). The registration form is attached to this email.
ACCOMMODATIONS:
CAMPING - there are several camp sites in the area of the launch ramp.
Numerous camp sites can be found at the following web address:
