2013 SJ 21 NA's NOR July Update

[RLDommel]

SJ 21 Juaners:

It's time to stop thinking on how I can attend the upcoming NA's next year on Lake Murray,
but to start taking action to do it.

Do it by:
Marking my calendar
Checking out the trailer (bearings, tires, bunks, etc.)
Sail regularly in local regattas
Participate in the 2012 E. Nationals at Fishing Bay Yacht Club
11, 12 August, Deltaville, VA on the Chesapeake
Then do Lake Norman Yacht Club Labor Day Regatta
and then
attend fall regattas** on Lake Murray to check out NA venue.

Follows is the Preliminary Notice of Race for the NA's:

2013 San Juan 21
North American and Eastern National Championships
Preliminary Notice of Race – Updated July 2012
The San Juan 21 Class Association Executive Committee has accepted the Columbia Sailing Club (CSC) and Lake Murray San Juan 21 Fleet #31 bid to host the 2013 San Juan 21 North American Championships to be held 20-23 June 2013 on Lake Murray, South Carolina.
On Thursday (20 June 2013) will be registration and measurements. On Friday, racing will begin at noon and continue all day Saturday with an awards dinner Sat. eve. Friday eve will feature a dinner with entertainment out of this world. Sunday will be a makeup day, if no race is completed.
We are planning to weigh boats along with the usual boat and sail measurements to ensure one design racing in both All Sails and Working Sails Divisions. We will attempt to have some good boats available for charter. To be scored in the regatta, all skippers must meet the eligibility requirements of San Juan 21 Class Association By-Laws 2.4 Article IV.
The CSC puts on a number of major regattas throughout the year and is looking forward to having the regatta. The CSC club house is fully air conditioned. There is plenty of boat trailer parking and dock space. A camping (RV’s need to reserve space in advance) area with power and showers is located next to swim beach. Many motels are close by. If desired, competitors can arrive several days early and enjoy the CSC facilities and tour the Columbia area which has one of the best zoos in the country (Riverbanks Zoo: www.riverbanks.org).
Take a long look at the CSC web site (www.columbiasailingclub.org/) and at Google Earth at 34 deg 3.852’ N, 81 deg 13.696’ W.

Please check out the venue in person by coming to the Outback Regatta 28, 29 and 30th September and on 2, 3 and 4 November is the Midlands Open Regatta. Yours truly will be a PRO for one of the courses for the Outback but White Knuckles will still be in the race.[/color]

Hi Dick:

Hope you and Zoe are doing well (give her my regards). I just may make it back east for next year's NA's.
