Hey, it's the dog days of summer and there's lots of stuff going on. Our 
club has some sailors doing great things this summer, so make sure to wish 
them well or ask how things went. Sorry if I've missed anyone.

MAC
The Mac is done and everyone has survived except their scoring system which 
got hit by the same virus that hit our website. Congratulations to Chippewa 
and their third in class, Chewbacca was running well until the Gray's Reef 
restart, Zig Zag finished respectable, and Lickety Split won the party by 
successfully pulling the centerboards of their catamaran and backing right 
up to the Pink Pony patio to tie off. That's the Spirit!

IRC NATIONALS
Chewbacca moved on from the Mac to the IRC National Championships last week 
and won Division III. Kind of a big deal, so congratulations to Chewy, Hans, 
Princesses Leah, and all the Jedi on Chewbacca.

US DOUBLE HANDED JR CHAMPIONSHIP
Special Kaye Siemers and Hilary Kenyon of the Wayzata Jr. Sailing Team have 
recently qualified for the US Double Handed National Championship and are 
currently competing. This is a ladder event and this is the first time a WYC 
sailor has qualified for it. Results are typically scarce, but Kaye is one 
of only three female teams and I've heard they are currently doing very 
well. This event is sailed in 420's.

US SINGLE HANDED JR CHAMPIONSHIP
Eric Sauter has qualified for the US Single Handed National Championship and 
will also be competing this week. This event is sailed in Lasers. Again, 
sort of a big deal.

CAPRI 25 DOCK PARTY
- The national party championships will be held August 24th on C Dock. The 
theme is rock bands and it's shaping up to be a big party. So plan ahead.
- The Annual Capri Intergalactic Championship is also forming into a One 
Design Regatta for non-J-boats. Keep your ears tuned for more info or just 
start making up gossip.
