SAVE THE DATES!

Sept 2-4 and Sept 10-11, 2011

The final two sanctioned events of our season are just around the corner: the PYC Commodore’s Cup and our S16 Nationals- both at Perry Lake, KS!

First, Perry Yacht Club’s Commodore’s Regatta is Sept 2-4 (Labor Day weekend). After PYC’s fire a couple years ago, and subsequent rebuild, the venue is better than ever. We’re expecting at least four S16s, and PYC will have separate class trophies for our participation.

Due to a scheduling conflict with a wakeboarding competition, the Twin Lakes Budweiser regatta (originally scheduled for the last weekend in July) has been canceled. If the event is rescheduled, or an alternate event added to the calendar, we will post information as soon as possible. Please check back here, or Sweet 16 facebook group, for the latest. Sorry for any inconvenience :-(

Now posted for everyone's consumption, the 2011 S16 events listed under the racing menu tab! Also, be sure to check out the Boats for Sale and Boats Wanted Classified listings under the community menu tab!!

And be sure to visit the Sweet 16 facebook page; it's a great community organizer :-)

Iowa impressed... that's about all I can say to sum up the 2010 National Regatta hosted by Twin Lakes, IA. This lake community is a gem, and now I know why it is such a closely held secret; low tree lines/wind obstructions, shallow depth, and NE to SW orientation makes any W/NW breeze very appealing (if not slightly overbearing!)

OK everyone... we're on a roll now. The website revamp is well under way, as you can see, and we're moving fast to unite the community as we head into the season of sail.

And as social media networking sites have become more and more a part of everyone's lives, it seems natural for us to take advantage of the opportunities.

So now, the S16 Association has a Facebook Group you can join!

When an email won't reach everyone and the newsletter has already gone to press, the web allows us to reach out with "the blog"; introducing to the new Sweet 16 Commodore's Blog. Danger... the soap-box can be dangerous!
