Sailing Dec 10 – Knute

I’m scheduling a race day for Sunday December 10 at Tualatin Commons.

We will race in class format.

First race at noon

Skipper check in no later than 11:45

I have the marks and starting timer.

I’ve set a goal to race at least once each month for a year. My count is up to 9 now. I plan to try to get a race in January and February so
that I hit the 12 month mark in March. This is dependent on getting dry weekend days.

Change in Start time for RCMSC Series Race 4 (Aug 13)

The starting time for the RCMSC Series Race 4, tomorrow, has been moved up to
avoid afternoon temperatures climbing into the mid 90’s.

Skippers meet at 11:00 AM. (Was 12pm)


Bring drinking water and dress for hot sunny weather.
See you on the pond – Stan
