Preparatory Race for Off Soundings - Saturday, June 8 - Fishers Island Sound off of Pine Island

The Shennecossett Yacht Club is hosting the traditional Pre-Off Soundings Race on Saturday, June 8. This is an excellent opportunity to tune your crew and your boat in preparation for the Off Soundings Spring Race scheduled for the following Friday and Saturday.

Videos:

Visually experience racing in the 2012 Off Soundings series by watching this thirty minute video, 'Passion to Race'.

In the fall of 2009, the race from New London to Greenport on Friday was abandoned due to a powerful front that had developed that morning. However, boats still had to get to Greenport via Plum Gut so they could race in Gardiners Bay on Saturday. This two minute video was taken from a boat appropriately named ... 'Dark N' Stormy'.

 

The series conducted in 2008 represented the 75th anniversery of the club and featured two days of excellent racing conditions. These three minute videos are rated 'thumbs-up'!

Dues:

2013 Annual Dues are due. If you haven't received your invoice, you can use the attached copy. Please contact our treasurer if you have any questions.

Origins of the club name:

Why is the club called Off Soundings when all of it's races are conducted On Soundings?

Discussions:

Two private discussion groups, 'Members' and 'Board of Governors', are forums to be used for discussing current club activities. Access to the groups is restricted to members and the Board of Governors only.

A secure account managed by Google is required for access and is based on your email and a password of your choosing. You do not need a separate Google Gmail account for email, your usual email address is fine. Most members already have a secure account, but if not, create it using this link, SECURE ACCOUNT and let the Off Soundings Webmaster know that you are requesting access to the group. The process is a little tedious, but it's necessary to maintain security and privacy. Once the secure account is created and access is granted to the group you should no longer be challenged for access. Contact the Off Soundings Webmaster if you have problems accessing.

The Board of Governors welcomes and considers all comments.

Ever lose your phone overboard? Here is the un-officially sanctioned voicemail message indicating to callers that it might be a while before you get back to them.
