Dear NCESA Members,
July is already upon us, and we’re coming off an exciting slate of events from June, including the Wawasee E Scow Regatta (Results | Photos), Toms River Tune-Up (Results), Pine/Pewaukee Regatta, and the first leg of the NY State Championship (Results).
This coming month is packed with action:
Speaking of ECESA, Toms River Yacht Club is planning a wonderful Easterns for us all this year. They have an exciting weekend planned with plenty of social activities to complement the sailing. There will be a cocktail party on Thursday evening and the Easterns Banquet with live music with dancing on Saturday night! The club Snack Bar, located at their wonderful pool overlooking the river, will be open from 11am to 5pm every day of the regatta and there is a cash-only BBQ on Wednesday evening.
Be sure to register early—the deadline for discounted registration is July 15! Merchandise Alert: Merch orders placed by July 15 will be available for pickup at TRYC during the regatta. However, there will not be a physical merchandise store on-site during the event. Link to Easterns Merch Store: https://stores.crsapparel.com/EScowNatTomsRiver/shop/home.
Additionally, July marks key deadlines for Youth Participation Grants:
-
July 9 – ECESA Championship Regatta Deadline
-
July 15 – Western Michigan Championship Deadline
-
July 26 – Inland Yacht Yachting Association Championship Deadline
By now, most sailors have had time to get their boats dialed in, but if your performance isn’t where you’d like it to be, consider looking over the E Scow Boat Speed Seminar that was put on at Wawasee and facilitated by Jim Campbell.
For an extra edge, Clay Johnson, E Scow sailor and owner of Colie Sails, has been sharing Tactic Tips in the Colie Sails Newsletter. His most recent articles, Be a Student of the Game and How to Attack When You’re Behind are must-reads!
Please remember to send us your NORs for regional events (NCESA@e-scow.org) so they can be listed on the regatta grid and tag us on any Instagram (@e_scow) posts so that we can support your event! If you do not see your favorite event on the regatta grid, we have not received your NOR.
Best,
Autumn Hoover
NCESA Media Coordinator
