Penguin Regatta and Rum Tasting
Saturday, January 2nd, 10:00 am til 5pm (Yes... we said January !)
Yes .... we are INSANE to organize an all day, all lake race in January. This race is for the hearty folks that enjoy excellent wind, long race courses and surviving the cold winter elements all while having fun. (yeah right, fun).
This all day race will be governed by strict race rules without the typical shinanagains that seem to haunt our big races (ET Challenge, St Patty's Day, etc). So bring your thickest long johns, heaviest foul weather gear, hottest thermos of hot chocolate and the toughest mindset. Of course a hot dinner will be served after the race with awards to follow.
NOTE: It's typically not as cold as you think; 40-50's
$ 20 per person for dinner and soft drinks. BYOB / BYOR

Regatta & Race Clinic
Saturday, March 13th,
Classroom: 10am til 1pm.
On the water: 2pm til 5pm
Regardless of your level competitiveness and regardless of your sailing skill, the LSA regattas have proven year after year to be an ideal sailing experience and allround fun time. Because everyone is welcomed, and the scoring system allows less experienced sailors to participate with past winners, the LSA regattas continue to have people return for more fun, friends and food.
The clinic is in 2 parts. In the classroom, we'll be sharing detailed rules and strategies of sail racing that is designed to get you informed and involved in The Passport Sailing Club's Spring Regatta Series. This includes how not to hit another boat and more importantly, how to get ahead of another boat.
After a lunch break, we head to Big Creek. On the water, we'll be reinforcing this information with a real hands on sailing/racing complete with a race course and instructors on each boat. You'll experience the tense starts, exhilerating upwind legs and relaxing downwide legs. And we keep the races very short so that you can do more than one.
If you've never raced, this is an ideal way to get started.
If you've raced before, this is an opportunity to refine your skills.
If you're experienced, this is an opportunity to become a skipper.
Don't miss this great opportunity to become race savy.
The price is FREE to our club members. Sure, it's just for fun. ;-)
