I have registered to sail the 'Jack Frost 2009/2010' Midwinter racing series. A somewhat experienced crew of 4-6 is needed for each race. A few spots are available, with a need for experienced foredeck crew (setting the spinnaker etc.) If you feel qualified and would like to join the crew, email me.

Race Dates: November 14th, January 23rd, February 27th, March 27th

Thanks,

Jack C.

       A great day on Echo. Thanks Capt. Jack ! Nice people and great weather. We wished we had our shorts and tanktops coming home down the estuary.

       Fall sailing on the bay can be great. Today was no exception. The light, steady winds and crystal clear weather made the sailing very pleasant. We had fun and completed several spinnaker runs during the two races. The crew did a fine job sailing the boat! Overall it was a very enjoyable late Fall sail.
