We’re having an unscheduled sail at Tualatin Commons at 1:30 PM this Sunday (7/29). Join us if you would like. I know that there will be Micro Magics there, but bring any boat you like.

Join us at Westmoreland tomorrow, 7/22, 1:30 PM for a Micro Magic Race Day. I hear tell there’s a new Micro Magic in town and I’m looking forward to seeing the boat and meeting the builder/skipper. Let’s see how many MM’s we can get on the water – but join us with whatever boat you want to bring.

Please join us at Tualatin Commons tomorrow (Thursday, 7/19) at 4 PM for a late afternoon into early evening fun sail. Footys, Micro Magics and all other boat classes are welcome.

Hey Footy skippers! Join us for a Footy Race Day tomorrow, Sunday July 8, 1:30 PM at Tualatin Commons. Of late, it seems momentum at RCMSC has been shifting from Footys to Micro Magics. Nothing wrong with that – I love seeing our MM fleet growing and the enthusiasm of the MM skippers. We started as a Footy club and we continue to support the class. Bring your Footys and let’s get a bunch of them on the water tomorrow.

We had 5 Micro Magics on the water today. Major kick. Thanks to all the skippers for a great day.

Please join us at Westmoreland tomorrow (6/24), 1:30 PM, for a Micro Magic Race Day. Intellicast says:

Cloudy with a few showers. High 69F. Winds NW at 5 to 10 mph. Chance of rain 30%.

I’m thinking we’ll get some sailing in. Join us with whatever boat you want.

We decided to add a twist to our 2012 Sailing Scheduled by including weekday 4 PM events in June and July. Initially these were scheduled for Wednesdays, but some appointments would get in the way of that. I have revised the Schedule to move these to Thursdays. The first late afternoon sail (for Footys and Micro Magics) will be this Thursday, June 21, 4 PM at Westmoreland. Please join us.

Though the winds were a bit squirrelly, I think it is safe to say that a good time was had by all today at Tualatin Commons. We had four (count ’em, 4) Micro Magics on the water all day! I’d love to see more, but 4 was a big kick!

The weather is supposed to be delightful for our sail tomorrow (6/10), 1:30 PM at Tualatin Commons. What’s on the agenda is Footy Internet Course Practice. For those unfamiliar, the Internet Course consists of a free-floating marker, designed to be affected by the wind, tethered by a 50′ line to an anchored marker. The intent (and how it works with sufficient wind) is to have a course where one leg is straight downwind and the other is straight upwind. A single Footy at a time runs this course and is timed. The Internet part comes from the fact that these times can be posted. As to whether we set an Internet Course at all (as opposed to our normal marker setup) and play strictly by the rules is up to the desires of those that attend. Whether or not, we plan to have some good sailing and good times. Please join us.

The weatherman seems to be smiling on our Micro Magic Race Day tomorrow (Sunday, 5/27) at 1:30 PM, Tualatin Commons. Please join us.
