2013 Wife-Husband Championships - Sign Up Now!

Submitted by dianekampf on Sun, 06/09/2013 - 02:20

We'd like to remind everyone that the 2013 Flying Scot Wife-Husband registration information is under the events section here.  The deadline for signing up with the reduced fee is June 15th so sign up soon to save a little money.  If you are interested in assistance with lodging, please contact Charles Buffington or Bob Vance. .

NOTE: The Flying Scot Foundation has a Sail Donation Program designed to collect gently used Flying Scot sails, repair them if necessary, and send them to sail training programs that use Flying Scots to train adult sailors.  Currently we have many more requests for sails than we have re-purposed sails to provide.  If you plan to attend the Wife-Husband at Deep Creek or you know someone who does, please ask around your club and see if there are sailors willing to donate gently-used sails to the Foundation. Write their names and contact information on the sail bags, throw them in the boat that is going to Deep Creek and contact Charles Buffington to arrange transfer.  The Foundation is a 501-c-3 organization.  We will provide a tax letter concerning your donation in which you will assign the value.

Have a look at the new pages and the content, and consider making a donation while you are there.  Many thanks for your support of this important initiative that helps to assure the future of Flying Scot sailing.

Our Thoughts are With the Tornado Victims

Submitted by dianekampf on Mon, 05/20/2013 - 23:03

We want to extend our thoughts and prayers to all the families who are touched by the volume of tornado activity that is currently spreading across the mid-south and midwestern United States.  And to those who lost family members, our sympathies go out to you.  The damages that are seen on tv don't come close to giving the whole picture.  Those of us who are far away can only imagine how this is affecting so many people who no longer have homes or who are forced to leave their homes. Fellow Scot sailors, please keep all these folks in your thoughts. 

Sell Your Old Sails at the 2013 NAC

Submitted by dianekampf on Fri, 05/03/2013 - 03:10

The Flying Scot Foundation has generously awarded a grant to North Carolina Community Sailing & Rowing (NCCSR) to purchase used sails for our 12 Flying Scots.  NCCSR is located on Lake Norman not far from LNYC host of 2013 NAC.  NCCSR will pay $200 for each retired racing set of main & jib brought to the NAC.  We will have a table set up at LNYC.  Selling your old sails to NCCSR will really help the community sailing racing and learn-to-sail programs and also help you dramatically reduce the cost of attending the event.  We have no limit on the number we will buy and will be writing checks at the event. 

Advance notice will be helpful but not necessary.  Contact Larry Vitez or Christy Lux.
