ClubBuzz: This week: Friday Fun Series Racing, the new building, July 4th Weekend fireworks and details on the upcoming Westpoint Regatta.

Join other members for a progressive dinner as we wander from boat to boat. Make something to share and invite your fellow members aboard your boat. We’ll start around 7:00 and arrive on C-dock for great views of the pyrotechnics at about 9:30 pm. Sign up here. The events team will coordinate menus with you.
 

On the 4th, once the public parking capacity at the Port is full, the Redwood City Police Department may, at its discretion, CLOSE Seaport Blvd at Blomquist Street. The Seaport Boulevard closure may occur as early as 7:00 pm. If you are planning to be at the harbor for the fireworks please make sure you arrive well before 7:00 pm.

Members of The Club will receive a parking pass giving them
access if the road is closed. It will be in Friday’s Club Buzz.

Friday Fun Series Race & Dinner

Last Friday’s Fun Series was a blast with warm 10-15kt Summer breezes, a spectacular sunset in the beautiful South Bay skies, and five yachts from small to large including one catamaran competing in this super friendly race series.

Larry Mayne set a perfect course for the breeze up and around marker 12, down to 2, back up to 12, and a fantastic run back to the finish line.  

All crew and skippers met back at the Fuel Dock at Westpoint Harbor for drinks and dinner as Hugo fired up the grill.  We had an unexpectedly large turnout – Russ thinks he counted 30 people onboard Hugo at one point and another 15 on the dock. All five boats were packed with the crew – quite a few had never sailed before and others who had never done a race before –  a very cool introduction to sailing!

What a wonderful way to celebrate the end of the working week with some South Bay delights, a fun race, and enjoying a few drinks and a delicious meal with new friends.  

Stay tuned for the next on Friday, July 1st.
