2022 NBIBCLRA Labor Day Weekend Regatta

Thirty two sailors came to Noyac Bay to race yesterday for the NBIBCLRA Labor Day Weekend Regatta.  They were presented with a pesky SE breeze that moved around and offered lots of holes in the first three races and then solidified for the last three races.  Your RC of Marty (PRO) with Jen and Pat on the Committee Boat, Betty and Nick on the Mark Boat and Izzy in the Scorer’s Booth, were more than up to the task of keeping the rest of us racing.   After Racing, Chef Cynthia, assisted by Carlina, provided a wonderful feast, including the much sought after Jackfruit sliders.  Thank you team, it can’t be done without you.

NBIBCLRA 2021 Labor Day Regatta

Twenty eight lasers came to the line on a beautiful September day today.  The wind gods served up a NW wind that worked it way around to SW by the end of the day at 8-12 kts.  After Racing, the Food Team (Cynthia, John, Nicole, Carlina and Maggie) served up a great spread (love that jackfruit).  On the Water the RC crew (Marty, PRO, Sarah, Dan and Ben) kept busy moving marks for almost every race and on shore Izzy kept the scores brilliantly.  Thanks to everyone who raced. 

All in all another great day on the water.  Here are your results:

2021 Breakwater Yacht Club Laser Regatta

Eight intrepid souls ventured out onto the racecourse off Havens Beach on Saturday July 17, notwithstanding the prediction of no wind and steamy conditions.  The racers were greeted with a building sea breeze that delivered three races in 8-10 kts and three races in 10-15 kts of very shifty wind from the South.  Our PRO Marty Knab was assisted by our Sailing Director, Sean Elliot and a stellar crew of Breakwater instructor who took charge of moving marks and keeping the line square.  Great racing.  Here are the results—Six races with one throwout:

On Saturday, July 10, Devon Yacht Club in Amagansett, NY, hosted the second of three regattas in the 2021 East End Laser Series. Seven hearty sailors pushed off the beach on beautiful Gardiner’s Bay in 3mph gusting 4 and a building ebb tide. A crisp race committee squeezed in 3 races before sending the fleet in for appetizers, drinks and awards on the deck with views of the Bay, Gardiner’s Island and Montauk. With two firsts in three races, John Wick won the day.

On Saturday, July 17, Breakwater Yacht Club in Sag Harbor, NY, will host the third and final regatta in the 2021 East End Laser Series. Racing will be off Havens Beach.

The 33rd Annual NBIBCLRA July 4th Weekend Laser Regatta was held today in some very interesting conditions.  After a half hour storm delay, 30 racers ventured out onto Noyac Bay pushed along by a building NE breeze.  That was followed by some light air, heavy rain, a massive shift and some very massive puffs and holes as the wind came over the land of North Haven.  All of which challenged our RC team (Marty, PRO, assisted by Ben, Mary Ann, Sarah and Julie.  There was also the problem of the non-working timer box (thankfully Marty had a second one on shore).

After racing the Amazing Food Team of Cynthia, Michelle, Frank and Carlina delivered an incredible feast, and our ever careful scorer Izzy tabulated the results

We got in six races with 28 competitors finishing at least one race. And in race 2, half the fleet forgot about the offset mark.  Here are your results, with one throwout:

Hi All

Just sending out a note to inform all you Laser sailors of another great accomplishment by one of SCYC’s frostbiters. Chris Poole has been invited to race in the World Match Racing Championship to be held this October in Bermuda. Chris is presently the highest ranked American on the World Sailing Match Racing list, and seventh in the world.

Placing in the first four positions in the upcoming world championship will secure him and his team a 2021 tour card entry to all of next year’s World Match Tour events.

Chris is a product of his own exceptional talent and hard work. But this has been made possible by the Oyster Bay- Cold Spring Harbor sailing ecosystem. SCYC, Oakcliff Sailing, CSHBC members and supporters have helped progress him to this point. Supporting him with local talented crew, financing support for equipment, coaching, equipment, entry fees, and travel expenses have all gone into the mix. And Chris has always been giving back to local sailors, young and old, whether on the Laser course or coaching on local big boats in weekend or week night races.

I hope you can reach out to him by phone or email to see how you can support him and his team. His phone is 207 272-5575 , email Chris@riptideracing.com and website www.riptideracing.com .

Chris will be representing his club and all his local supporters at the highest level of international match racing. Let’s give him and his team their best shot by easing some of the expense burdens. Also, please let those you know who have supported local sailors, it’s time to step forward again.

Remember, by supporting local NFP sailing organizations, you are supporting Chris and other young and up and coming stars. Ask Chris how, and let your big boat fellow sailors know they can help also. The net effect will be more and better OB/CSH sailors, crew and race results.

Race Report - NBIBCLRA 2020 Labor Day Regatta from Bud Rogers  - The wind gods provided a WSW wind that faked to the right and finally shifted to the SW, all while building from 8kts to 12kts for the finale.  Our PRO Marty Knab set a Long Course that occupied a good portion of Noyac Bay and offered a combination of WL and triangle courses.  Twenty-one boats came to the line, including travellers from NYC and NJ.  Special thanks to our RC crew:  Marty, Mary Ann, Alex (who provided a crash boat) and Liz; and also to our scorer Izzy (who provided results before we finished de-rigging).  Thanks also to Breakwater Yacht Club for providing its RC boat for the event.

Here are your results--5 races, no throwout.  Congratulations to everyone who sailed.  Be sure to wear your NBIBCLRA swag with pride!!

Winter Sailing at Seawanhaka!  Excerpts from the full sailing season 2019-20. An uncharacteristically mild winter, most days saw about 10 knots of breeze but we had both very windy and very light days as well. My apologies to John - at about 10:30 in the video he got separated from his capsized boat, but while the camera picked it up, my eyes were in the other direction - otherwise, I would have stopped! It didn't help that another boat snagged his rudder, but he wasn't as far from his boat as it looks - my camera has a wide-angle lens. All in all a great season, though cut short. Unfortunately, the last 2 races and our awards dinner had to be cancelled to the COVID 19 virus. Everybody stay well for next year!


A note from Bob - Over the years, every now and then, I get a note from someone asking how to join a race. The short answer - just show up! We'll get you signed in at the site. We don't need advance notice, and we don't hold anyone responsible if they can't make it at the last minute (flashback to a previous years' Southampton YC Regatta, when the alternator on my tow vehicle failed halfway there!) There may be an Invitational or some other event that requires qualifying, check the Schedule, but the vast majority of our events have no pre-registration. Anyhow, just bring your boat to the next regatta that looks good to you and you're in!
