Spring Racing Series is Underway

The lake is full, spring is in the air, and the Spring club racing series us underway at OSYC. This year we have 6 races scheduled: March 16, March 29-30, April 12-13, and May 10. Race days start with a skippers meeting at noon and the first race starts at 1pm. Race Committee volunteers are greatly appreciated, there are nearly always crew rides available on various boats, and if you need any help with your boat there is more than enough of that to go around too. Social time in “the office” preceding, and following racing. So, mark your calendar and we’ll see you there.
