Sonar Fleet 1 Newsletter, May 13, 2010








Sonar Fleet 1
Noroton YC

Fleet Racing:
  
It’s time to remove the shrink wrap! The 2010 season is upon us. Fleet racing begins a little earlier this year. Our first race is Sunday, May 23. That’s just ten days from now. Can you believe it?

Fleet 1 Update:

For those who couldn’t make our fleet meeting last weekend, there are a couple of items you should be aware of...


1. Right now my plan is to keep everyone in the same dry sail spot as last year.

2. Noroton is hosting the LIS Champs on 6/19-6/20. You can register online at www.sonar.org in the Member's Only section. Let's have a big turn-out from fleet 1.

3. The North American's is in Marblehead this year. 9/24-9/26

4. Fleet dues is $50. Please send a check, made out to Sonar Fleet 1 to Jean Galloway. This is in addition to renewing your SCA membership, which you will need to do to compete in the LIS Championships.

5. The Sonar fleet will be handing out trophies to the top three finishers of the holiday series: Memorial Day, July 4, Labor Day, immediately after racing those days. All other trophies will be given out at the end of the year.
