Hey Boston Blind Sailors!
*Pre-season/Robie Pierce practice continues this Wednesday, May 8, at
5:30 PM at Community Boating. We will be practicing in Ideal 18s. *
Last week we had a great turnout: 7 blind sailors and 4 guides! We
welcomed three new blind sailors and one new guide, and did a bunch of
practice starts and one practice race, which was won by Katherine, Sherry,
and Leo, with Katherine at the helm. Nicely done! It was great to have four
boats out on the line - let's do it again!
This week we will start off practice with a couple of drills, such as
stopping at a mark. Then we'll do some more practice starts and races.
We'll go over the plan at the picnic tables before hand.
*Please reply to this email if you plan to attend on Wednesday so we can
reserve the right number of boats! See you there!*
Your devoted coaches,
Grace and Leo
(the rest of this email is the same as last week's).
Even if you haven't signed up for the Robie Pierce regatta, we welcome
your attendance. The more the merrier, and bonus points if you bring a
sighted guide, or a new sailor. It's a good time to stretch those sailing
muscles and shake off the dust (and that goes for our guides, too)! If it's
your first season and you've managed to wander onto this list, I have put
directions and relevant info about Community Boating below the signature.
If you would like to sign up for the Robie Pierce regatta, or you are
looking for a team, there is lots of information on their website, here:
http://www.robiepierceonedesignregatta.com/
You can also read the Notice of Race, which is attached. The dates are
May 31 - June 2, but if you want to put together a ladies' team as well,
the women's regatta is May 30th and is free for female regatta participants.
