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.

Brett has put together a great article entitled Neophyte Racer. Be sure to check it out as it is a good introduction for both mono-hull and catamaran racers. The article goes over basic course layouts and contains links to more detailed racing manuals. This is worthy reading for beginner and advanced sailors alike.

Also, we have added an Events Page that now appears in the main navigation bar above. This page has detailed information for every event & race taking place in the 2008 season.

 

 

Shaun M, Shaun K and Randy all christened their new boats this weekend and had their maiden voyage on the waters of Utah Lake. A Zuma monohull along with two NACRA F18 Infusions are the newest members to the club. Click here for some photos.
