Reminder: The April meeting of the Pacific Singlehanded Sailing
Association is this coming Monday the 10th, 8 pm at Santa Monica
Windjammers Yacht Club in Marina Del Rey. Non members are welcome! Go
to pssala.org for the gory details and to check us out!
Every once in a while a boat with an extra hull or two appears on the
race course, welcome of course. From time to time a phone call comes
in, and the question is asked - "are multi-hulls allowed in your
club?" Well of course they are. Equal op****tunity sailing, that's
what we're about. We're open minded. Well maybe, but it is good
from time to time to make sure. So along comes Anthony Clarke, our
April speaker, who will extole the virtues of multi-hulls, and
challenge our great love of auxillary gas or diesel engines, who will
tell us about his twelve part television project about biofueled
sailing craft, entitled Around the World on French Fries. And if you
are just set in your ways, one hull, fossil fuel forever, then he'll
have some footage of the Queen's Birthday Storm in the Pacific
[Tasmania]. Something different, something for everyone.
The Upcoming Race - Catalina to ****t
Our next race will be sailed on a course that is new to the club, or at
least that has not been sailed in recent years - the Catalina to ****t
Race. This is the fourth of the five race Dan Byrne Series. It will be
sailed on April 15th. Details on the web site. [pssala.org]
Again, everyone's welcome to our meetings [and our races]! {Note: you
can also sail in our "doublehanded" division.}
