Hello fleet! Just a couple more days until the season officially starts!<br>And only 7 of you signed up? What's the big hold up? Sure the lasers are planning to boycott but what's your excuse?<br>Sign up at <a href="http://vanguard15.org/schedule/554">http://vanguard15.org/schedule/554</a><br>
<br>Just some reminders: the waiver and registration (attached to the NOR) need to be filled out BEFORE RACING AND DUES MUST BE PAID. Two checks are needed. The first is $135 made out to the "Treasure Island Sailing Center." The second is $25 and made out to "Vanguard 15 Fleet 53." Both checks are to be given to Alex Symes. If forms and/or dues are not completed you will NOT BE ALLOWED TO RACE and John Super will know who you are! Make sure to note your sail number on the checks.<br>
The forms are available on the website (<a href="http://www.vanguard15.org">www.vanguard15.org</a>) for your convenience.<br><br>A note on ramp etiquette: <br>Please be in line for the ramp only if you are ready to splash.<br>
Help the boats ahead of you bring their dolly back up the ramp.<br>Cart your boat on the dolly down the right (west) side of the ramp.<br>Once you splash move down the dock to allow others to splash - make sure you have your bow line/ painter!<br>
Neatly stack your dolly against the fences where it will not block any of the gates, hoists or other boats. <br>PLEASE ALLOW THE LASERS TO SPLASH FIRST. They start before the vanguards! <br>The bottom line is help each other out. The faster we get out there the more races we can have. I don't know about you but I prefer sailing to standing in line listening the the jib flutter.<br>
<br>Thanks Tim, Lisa and Alex for volunteering as social chairs the first evening.<br>~Amy G<br><br><br>
