John Courter sends an update about Friday racing at Sail Sand Point:


We had a nice 5-10 knot southerly with just  a few drops of rain during the picnic part.  We had 5 WYC club members participate in Lasers, 4 of which were in club boats.  There were about 20 Lasers out racing altogether.  There were 5 Windsurfers.  4 were WYC club members, and one offspring.  Only 1 person was using club equipment.  We saw real progress as in the past events we've never had more than 2 boards racing, all the rest were practicing sailing.  Last night all 5 boards were racing.  3 of the people windsurfing last night had just started Windsurfing this spring. Around 20 people stayed for the BBQ and told tall tales of their sailing prowess.
