Hampton YC hosts
March 12th, 2010 - Jon Deutsch
Reposted from CBYRA Junior Sailing:
The Hampton Yacht Club hosted their first March clinic/regatta on March 6-7 for Optis and Laser Radials. Coaches David Tunnicliffe and John Shockey respectively led their Opti and Radial teams with an intense coaching session on Saturday and a regatta on Sunday . In spite of a real winter in Virginia this year and a snow storm with 30kts of breeze only 4 days before the event, the weather finally cooperated with perfect wind conditions and almost 60 deg F temperatures.

2/21 Frostbite Recap
February 26th, 2010 - Jon Deutsch
After a couple of weeks off due to the rough winter weather we've been having, most of our fleets made it back to the water to continue their frostbite series. Roughtly 4 weeks of Frostbiting left this season.
Potomac River Sailing Assocation
Great day on the water. Had to dig a path down the ramp, and those on the far rack had a long walk around, but the docks were pretty clear.
Winds were up and down, but mostly up. Twice we had a nice lefty just in time for the leaders to drag race from leeward to the finish line, but no drag races to the windward mark, so that's a good day on the Potomac. Hopefully will have some videos up this week. - Chris Bolton
