St.
Francis YC Spring Dinghy Regatta -- If interested, contact Dan
Ouellet. Dan would like to see the Bytes race in the area near the
harbor entrance where the Vanguard 15s sail, a venue that allows for
many more races and less arduous sailing. St. Francisco probably
requires a commitment of at least 5 Bytes. (Note: a conflict with
the RYC Big Daddy Regatta). |

Gold
Country Regatta -- This regatta has long been a fleet favorite, but
is
not an official season counter. (The decision this year was that no
"far away" regatta be part of the season championship
series This year it also conflicts with the bit boat RYC Delta
Ditch Run.) IHowever, it's likely that some Bytes will be going to
this Gold Country. There's an open class, and GCYC will probably give
Bytes a separate start if there are enough Bytes and someone contacts
race officials in advance to arrange this. |

Clear
Lake Clinic -- The Byte fleet returns to Clear Lake for a 4-day Byte
clinic for all sailing abilities. Oh, the fun of sailing in warm, flat
water and good breezes!! Note: Sailors under age 18 must be
accompanied by a parent or guardian. We hope to return to our 2006-7
venue, but this is still under negotiation. There are other possible
locations. Say tuned for further details. |
