Our second night, despite overcast skies on June 11th, we had 6+ Lasers and 2 V15s on the line. Results June 11th.

At this time we have 13 Laser's who have joined the program or have paper work in the progress, and another 2 perspectives. V15s are at 6 boats last I heard and growing, with Jake Dewey having at least 3 V15s lined up for people interested in obtaining a good starter V15. Our goal this coming week should be to get solid 10 Lasers and all the V15s on the water. --Andrew Thursday May 28th, Dinghy Program Open House Bring down your boat starting at 4PM, setup racks and stay for our kickoff BBQ at 7:30 PM.

Last night the Board of Directors at Cottage Park Yacht Club approved creation of the CPYC Dinghy Racing Program. The program will run dinghy racing at the club from May 1st-October 31st including Thursday night racing series for Lasers, V15 and Snipes. The CPYC Dinghy Racing Program will provide summer season access to club facility, storage(rack/float for Lasers and dolly storage for V15s/Snipes) and include racing fees for $400 for Laser, and $475 for V15/Snipes. Frostbiting during the off season will remain separate like it is today. For existing CPYC Members you will be able to participate for just paying Thursday Night racing fees($35 Laser, $70 V15/Snipe) and you may also store your V15/Snipe on a Dolly for $105. As of right now I already know of 6+ Laser's and 3 V15s planning to be at the club, before the program was even approved. We also identified almost 20 V15s in the Boston area without a home club and countless Lasers. Application form and more details will be online by next week atwww.bostondinghysailing.org. If you are interested in participating please talk to me or Julia this weekend(or even fill out the forms to join then) at CPYC Marina Weekend(We really need to make a good showing from the Frostbiters and those interested in Dinghy Racing!) or send me an email. Hope to see you all at the Frostbite End of Season Party Sunday night. I invite everyone to start spreading the buzz, and let the everyone know that Boston Dinghy Sailing has found a home at Cottage Park Yacht Club in Winthrop, MA --Andrew Davis CPYC Dinghy Racing Program |
