We’ve received word that there is a new weekly racing series for the Laser Dinghy Class taking place at Jordanelle Reservoir. They hold 4-6 races every Tuesday night beginning around 6:15-6:30pm. This is a great way to improve your sailing and racing skills. The group is expecting nearly 10 boats on the line at the next event, and are hoping to find more interested sailors.

Secure boat storage is available on-site at the Personal Watercraft Ramp and a new rack is near completion to allow the storage of up to a dozen lasers. Sailors of all ages and abilities are welcome. They have setup a Yahoo Group for the event at Park City Laser Racing.

If your interested in the group, or if you know of any Laser boats that are unused and possibly for sale, then please contact Geoff via the following email address.

So we went for it!  Coty and I hauled the Nacra F-18 Infusion out to Long Beach to compete in the Western Area Formula 18 Championship.  I figured that this is my last summer off before the hospital owns me for 80+ hours/week so I might as well do it while I can!  We had an awesome two days of racing with 7 races total.  We learned a lot about making out boat go faster especially on the spinnaker run.  The championship was hosted well by the Alamitos Bay Yacht Club the North American Formula 18 Association Chairman Dan Delave.  We would like to extend a special thanks to Ian Sammis who let us crash at his pad while there in Long Beach.  Check out a few photos we took while there including pics of the custom Nacra Infusion that took 1st place.  Click on the link below to see our GPS tracks of the day 1 races.

The fourth of July weekend at Bear Lake turned out fantastic!  We had hull-flyin wind all three days filled with good company and great food.  The first annual “Gumball Rally” was a fun two heats around a long course running from the east shore to the west shore of Bear Lake.  We were given bonus points for packing on as many of our family members as were willing.  Check out the results below.  Click here to see some photos.

Congratulations to members of the Utah Sailing Association who brought home the hardware!  Not to rub it in or anything; but if you missed the Utah Sailing Association’s presentation of the Utah Summer Games you missed out on a wonderfully fun event.
