LIS J30 Sailors:

The sailing and racing season will soon be upon us. In recent years there has been a decline in J30 One Design racing in our district. Let's work to revitalize our fleet in 2012.

The J30 North Americans Championships (NAC) are scheduled to be sailed in New Orleans in Oct of 2012. The NAC will be hosted by the New Orleans Yacht Club. The Cedar Point Yacht Club One Design Regatta will serve as the NAC qualifier. What does that mean? Priority will be given to a LIS J30 skipper for the use of a "Loaner Boat" to compete in the NAC. Whether a LIS Skipper competes as well as their results will be considered. Details can be further discussed at a LIS district meeting.

District Meeting:
How about getting together on the weekend of March 10-11? Perhaps picking a location that is convenient for the majority of our District Members. This is not an easy task. The LIS District is from Cape May NJ to the CT and RI boarder. How about Western Fairfield County (CT) or Westchester County (NY)? We have used a local Restaurant/Bar in East Norwalk CT) in the past.

Regattas:
The Cedar Point Yacht Club One Design Regatta-LIS NAC Qualifier. June 2-3 Regatta website: www.wix.com/cedarpointod/2011 Register at: www.yachtscoring.com . This is the 11th year of the ODR at Cedar Point. There is a perpetual LIS District Championship/NAC Qualifier trophy awarded. There is a Saturday evening Dinner/Party/ and Entertainment.

The Red Grant Regatta, July 14-15 Raritan Bay NJ. Hosted by the Perth Amboy Yacht Club. Club website: www.ryc.org . There's are at least three J30s in the Raritan Bay area and it's a fun trip from the Hudson and Western Long Island Sound. Great Party as well. Home port for two past NA champs "Fuzzy Wuzzy" and "Blue Meanie". There's a note about this regatta on the J30 "Forum" from newer J30 owner John Dennerlein "Presto 436".

The Branford/Pine Orchard Invitational Regatta, July 15-16 Hosted by the Branford Yacht Club and the Pine Orchard Yacht and Country Club in Branford CT. This regatta in know for it's great post race parties and have won the ECSA "best regatta party" award a number of times. Thanks to new J30 owner Chris Buydos "Magen 389" for helping with the organization.

The Milford/Windjammers Last Chance Regatta, Sept. 22-23. Hosted by the Milford Yacht Club and the Windjammers Sailing Club, Milford CT. This is a traditional fall regatta in the central Long Island Sound Area. Always a great venue. Thanks to long time J30 competitor Stefan Jans "Pale Rider 419" for helping with the organization.

Please respond with any other ideas and/or suggestions. What meeting date works best?

John McArthur "Smiles"

John & LIS District members. When you have your meeting, I'd like to publicize two items for you to discuss.

1. The SNE District will host a regional one design regatta in Newport that will occur either 21/22 or 28/29 July 2012. We're waiting to hear back from the host club to confirm the dates. We expect to have boats from NNE, SNE and LIS participate, so this should be a good event. Stay tuned for more info as we firm up the plans.

2. The LIS District is scheduled to host the 2014 J/30 North American Championship. Would you please nail down the host club and dates so we can let the class know by 1 May this year?

LIS Sailors,

Mark Rotsky posted a question about a 2012 J/30 Regional event in the SNE District Forum at this link. Please read it and post any comments with your opinions, and indicate if you would consider entering this regional event.

Also - please talk this up at your district meeting.

LIS Salors,

Bengt Johansson just sent me an email and informed me that Fuzzy Wuzzy has been sold and will be relocated to Quebec City YC. Good luck to Bengt as he campaigns his J/24.
