As always I’d like to thank everyone who has supported the 3V team over the past season in any way. 

In particular Captain Linzee for getting the docks & 420's so fast ready for the spring season.

Thanks to his incredible devotion to make sailing possible for every high school student on our local waters, we are now able to host 10 sailors in our team! 

I am looking forward to meet prospective sailors on Saturday June 6th at the Port Jefferson Maritime Festival. Mark your calendars:

Spread the word and forward the website to friends, family and anyone else who might be interested.

The event will be two days of racing and coaching in collegiate 420’s, including chalk talks and video debriefs.  This is the perfect event for junior sailors in 8th -12th grades to improve their team racing skills as either an individual boat or a whole team race squad.

Baker League Team Qualifier, Sunday 4/19, WFC

http://hssailing.org/event/conditions/baker

Team Racing Format: Each team consisting of 3 boats will race every other team one at a time. With 6 teams, each team will therefore have 5 races bringing the total to 15 races overall to do one full rotation. Given the promising forecast, the regatta could accomplish two rotations in which each team races each other team twice. This is the normal format for a district and national event. If we start racing at 9:30 AM, the regatta could accomplish 30 races and you would sail 10 by 5 PM or sooner.

The league MALLORY Qualifier. March 28, 2015. Port Jefferson, NY

The Mallory Trophy is school sailing's oldest trophy. It was selected and presented to the then-IYRA (now ISSA) by Clifford Mallory and his son, when the elder Mallory was Commodore of Indian Harbor Yacht Club in Greenwich, Connecticut, and President of NAYRU, the predecessor of US SAILING. The early competitions were in Atlantic-class sloops, hence the sterling silver model of the original Atlantic on the trophy. In recent years the competition for the ISSA Nationals has been in double handed dinghies in a two-division format. This was initiated when the U.S. Naval Academy took over hosting the event, after many years at the U.S. Coast Guard Academy in keel sloops and Ravens. Prior to that stewardship, the series had been hosted by clubs, and once by a school for their first venture into dinghies, Fireflies at St. George's in 1959. The Mallory competition now is rotated among the ISSA districts.

Below is the registration, waiver, and med forms file for this season. 

We are going to start the sailing season indoors, see the suggestions below:

• Working out; inside and outside to get in shape for cold water sailing

• Checking gear

• Doing class session on techniques, tactics, strategies, and Sailing rules.

• "Virtually Sailing" in our computer lab using sail simulators which is new and a lot of fun.

The 3V sailing team is going to attend these session at The SBS school next week on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday, our normal schedule.

Report to Memorial room 4 at 3:45 in workout clothes for both inside and outside workouts.

We do need the forms filled out and the fee in before a sailor starts so they are covered under The SBS insurance.

I will be collecting the signed waivers & the last checks tonight at theory class, or you can drop them off in my mailbox till Sunday night.  

Finally, there is a Rules seminar by Dan Perry at Oakcliffe Sailing Center in Oyster Bay this Sunday from 2 - 5 pm. Is anyone interested? It is $30 per person.

Annapolis Regatta - 2014 Season Closer

Congrats to the 3V Sailing Team on a nice 3rd Fall Season ending. The regatta experienced variable winds and our co-coach Will Becchina kept spirits up and pushed the team to a very respectable performance. Bravo. My 2014 soccer season ended so I could not attend this regatta - but my thoughts were with my friends all the time.

Here is the agenda for 2015:

- bi-weekly get together : regatta rules to discuss strategies, etc..

- sailing movie night 

- sweaters , pinnies, and t-shirts reorders

- work on new flyer for the spring season 2015

Important news: My bro and me saved up some money and with the help of our family purchased a  used 25' sport boat called the Elliott 770. Philippe and me are pumped to go sailing this coming Spring and take some of our 3V sailing team friends out to surf with the big A-sail off the carbon retractable bowsprit. More about it later...
