The first of the Commodore's Sunday Series was
held on Easter Sunday at Lake Riley in Cobbs Hill Park.
Beth, Jay, and I sailed and John Y. showed up
briefly (more on that later).
We sailed Vics and Solings.
It was a beautiful sunny day and about 60
degrees.
The wind was strong with an occasional
overpowering gust.
Some spectators asked good questions and one
sailed my boat for a while.
We only finished three races but we got in lots
of practice while one or the other of us was either adjusting or
repairing our boats or talking to spectators.
It was lots of fun!
John Y. showed up with his brand new Chevy Volt.
He announced that he is going to host an AC
regatta some unspecified weekend at Carey Lake in honor of Ray
Davidson who died last year.
RAMYA would like to sponsor this race if John can
get the planning end of it lined up – such as potential date and a
list of volunteers (especially a race director, if John wants to race
in the event). So those of you who are interested in helping John
pull this off, please contact him. If he gets enough help to do this
the club will act as sponsor.
I just searched the web to find out who Ray was.
He was a very early member of AMYA ( #5) and belonged to the Metro
Marine Modelers of Toronto.
Whoops … looks like that club has stolen John's
thunder!
I found a NOR for an annual regatta starting this
year that honors Ray Davidson – International One Meter regatta
series.
