Oregon Food Bank Event this Friday

Apologies (somewhat) if I’m over-communicating, but hope to see people out this Friday for the Oregon Food Bank event. Some fun/cool changes this year that should make it great for your sponsors (and family/friends) to join you at the shore party, and up your tally… J Top donating J24 gets an autographed book about J-boats signed by Rod Johnston himself!

-Doug

Race Event: Friday July 10th, 2009. First (only) starting signal at 6:30pm. Look for the J24 “Free Bowl of Soup” flying a big red J-Flag as the committee boat near the tip of Tomahawk Island. See the OCSA race book for additional details, and course. Contact Doug at (503) 645-8398 or dougschenk3837@hotmail.com if questions.

Scoring: Each yacht’s finishing order will be determined by the amount of $ and/or food items donated (each $1 counts for 5 cans of food). $/food can be dropped off to the Soup on the water, or better yet at the Social Event. “Scoring” will continue until ~9:30-10pm at the social event. This is a low-key race, no protests or collisions allowed!

Trophies: The top 5 scoring yachts shall trophy (thanks to Chuck’s Trophies!), with the highest scoring yacht being declared the 6th annual Oregon Food Bank Free Bowl of Soup Night winner, with appropriate prize packages and accolades bestowed up on them.

Social Event: Should be more fun than ever thanks to Columbia Crossings, as a “pre-kickoff” to their summer concert series. Food from Norma’s Kitchen and refreshments from Bridgeport Brewing and Crater Lake Soda to be available for purchase with a portion of the proceeds going to Oregon Food Bank. Racers, family, friends, and kids will enjoy a fun mix of live music from Sounds Like Chicken. Open to anyone/everyone sailing or not, RSVPs appreciated for planning, but not required. Working out the math, but the more people and $ spent from your boat, the better chance of placing! May auction some donated items, but most likely they will go to the top donations. Gates open at 6:00pm, racers should show about 8:00pm (target for band to start), no outside food/beverages, overnight guest moorage can be arranged.

UK Sailing Races - Cowes Week and Round the Island

I used to sail in Cowes Week and the Round the Island Race.

Round the Island is a single day event which draws 1875 boats. Don't expect to win unless your boat looks like this.



Cowes Week is a week long mega-regatta which attracts 1000 boats and 9000 competitors. Cowes takes place in August in a spectacular setting on the south coast. It brings together an amazing variety of boats.

I suggest that one year we put together a Fleet 27 J24 race team and that we head over there. I have no details planned and no boat sourced but I want to launch the idea. How about 2012?
