RACING SATURDAY AND SUNDAY
Hey Folks-
Here we go! Sounds like there is ice to be had up in VT!
Scouts and locals report regatta-quality ice up at Sand Bar State Park just north of Mallets Bay.
Sand Bar | Vermont State Parks
It has been decided that this weekend’s racing should be called the Great Eastern Challenge because well, why not?
The sailors who scouted today will be out early looking for a course-sized sheet of good ice. They are hoping to have an area scoped out and marks set by noon. Scratch racing will ensue.
As always BE CAUTIOUS!! THERE ARE CRACKS AND HAZARDS! Check with locals and proceed slowly and cautiously until you get to the course. Be mindful of skaters and kite sailors etc as well.
The majority of boats will be DNs (old and new welcome!) but other types are welcome.

See you all there!

Hi All,
Any update on conditions at Quaboag. Such would be much appreciated.
Thanks, Warren Wheelwright
