On Saturday June 28th, all subscribers to Ship2Shore received an email message asking them to confirm their email address so that they will continue to receive Ship2Shore.  This was due to a new law that came into effect July 1, 2014.  Simply put, the law requires organizations that send mass emails to have the consent of its email recipients to do that.  The new law is an attempt to limit the amount of SPAM that people receive. 

By clicking on the "Yes, continue sending me emails" button, you are providing that consent to ABYC to continue sending Ship2Shore to your email address. 

In the past we have received many requests to add a new email address to our recipients list.  We can no longer do that.  From now on, you must go to the ABYC Website and subscribe.  This is done on the first page of the website - scroll down, on the right side.  When you subscribe, you will receive a confirmation email from Constant Contact asking you to reconfirm your address.

If you deleted the email from June 28th. without confirming your email address, you will be removed from the Ship2Shore mailing list at some point in the future.  When that happens, you will have to subscribe again if you want to receive Ship2Shore.

We are available to answer questions or provide assistance regarding this matter.  You can reach us at s2seditors@gmail.com.

This Canada Day long weekend, 4 ABYC Opti Racers competed in the annual LSSA (Lake Sailing Skiff Association) Regatta, hosted at the Oakville Yacht Squadron.  We were blessed with warm summer weather both days, with a thermal filling in mid-day providing good racing conditions, with winds of around 8 knots.  The Optimist fleet was divided into Blue fleet for sailors aged 10-12 with 6 sailors, and Red (13 and up) with 10 competitors.  Five races were sailed over the weekend.

 

Martin Staadecker and Timothy Morland represented ABYC in the Red Fleet finishing 7th and 8th respectively.  Congratulations to Paul Staadecker, who was racing in the Blue Fleet, on his 2nd place score.  The sailors learned the importance of quick sail control and balance adjustments around marks, and what a difference a few seconds can make with close competition.  Congratulations is also in order to Kate Evans on her 4th place in the Blue Fleet - this is the first time she has raced outside of the green fleet, and she proved herself to be ready for the challenge!

 

We have two weeks of intense training ahead of us.  We will be focusing primarily on perfecting our boat handling in preparation for the next regatta, Fogh Boorman in Hamilton.
