Peggy and I will be there.
Is our regatta sandwiched between the High Sierra Regattas?
If it is, be sure to get your reservations for lodging/camping in early.

SWIFT SOLO NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS ‘O9
HUNTINGTON LAKE, CALIFORNIA
It’s time to commit to the sunny days in California . Chris and I
have been working to finalize the ‘09 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, it’s a hard place
to beat. Check it out at http://www.huntingtonresort.com/
WHEN: Monday, JULY 13th – 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:

ramp. Numerous camp sites can be found at the following web address:
