All of the sailors enjoyed sailing in the brisk breeze, especially Gerrick Farquharson (#181135) who is seen here coming off the start line in good shape. With thanks to Palm Cay, a new residential development on the water in the south eastern part of new Providence, this sailor was competing with a new sail and proud to be carrying the Palm Cay logo. The BSA is extremely grateful to Palm Cay and other sponsors for all their support with junior sailing in The Bahamas. It is because of your generosity that our youngsters enjoy sailing today.

The Optimist sailing dinghy is one of the most popular one-design sailboats for youth sailors in the world. With its one sprit-rigged mainsail and its small pram shaped hull, the "Opti" is ideal for both novice and experienced sailors. The class allows for children under the age of 16 to compete. It was a beautiful site seeing 76 of these boats lined up along Taino Beach.

Bahamas Snipe Junior Nationals 2011]]>http://www.bahamassailing.org/news/files/20cda39d3bf6dc8cbf69fb8a6ca7ef21-134.html#unique-entry-id-134contact@bahamassailing.orgRacing2011-05-12T14:29:55-04:00http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/BsaRssFeed/~3/_5zidRUN2cM/005695845fb08d3f18ef1d7cedb7bedc-133.htmlhttp://www.bahamassailing.org/news/files/005695845fb08d3f18ef1d7cedb7bedc-133.html#unique-entry-id-133[by Lori Lowe] ~ The 21st Homer Lowe Memorial Sunfish Regatta was held over Mother’s day weekend hosted by the Marsh Harbour Sailing Club. The Regatta was held in conjunction with the Hugh Cottis Memorial Optimist Regatta. The Optimist Dinghy is the top youth boat sailed by sailors up to the age of 16 in more than 100 countries throughout the world. The Sunfish is a boat well-known throughout the Bahamas and a natural progression for youth too old or big for the Optimist. Thanks to the attendance of the Grand Bahama Sailing Club who attended the Lowe Cottis event for the first time bringing some 21 junior sailors from Freeport and West End the Optimist Regatta eclipsed a somewhat sparsely attended Sunfish Regatta by a factor of three. Sailors attended the Event from Nassau, Freeport and West End and locally from Marsh Harbour, Hope Town and Cherokee with some as young as 8 years old. It was great to see all those youth sailors, both girls and boys, sailing in and out among the sailboats moored in Marsh Harbour. The beautiful weather added to the ambience of what has become the “fun” Optimist Sunfish Event of the year providing light and very manageable winds for most of the regatta. This proved to be fabulous conditions for all the young sailors providing a great introduction to racing especially for those just embarking on what is hoped will be a lifelong passion, if not in competitive sailing then just in being out on the water. The usual 30 degree shifts that Marsh Harbour is known for were also much in evidence providing some frustration but also ensuring that most competitors remained close to the money in every race even sometimes until the last tack thus making for some exciting racing and nail-biting finishes.]]>http://www.bahamassailing.org/news/files/005695845fb08d3f18ef1d7cedb7bedc-133.html#unique-entry-id-133contact@bahamassailing.orgIn The News2011-05-05T12:20:45-04:00http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/BsaRssFeed/~3/_xp7kcjVipc/5ba2d7015419d2f039b284db38a4d4a4-132.htmlhttp://www.bahamassailing.org/news/files/5ba2d7015419d2f039b284db38a4d4a4-132.html#unique-entry-id-132

The country’s first two Olympic medals, and Sailing World Championships trophy, can now be seen at the National Museum of The Bahamas/Antiquities, Monuments and Museum Corporation.

The 2011 Bahamas Laser Midwinters was put on by the Grand Bahama Sailing Club with competitors traveling from Harbour Island, New Providence and Freeport.
Two divisions of boats sailed, the Laser 4.7 and the Laser Radials. The Laser 4.7 class is popular among junior sailors who have just graduated from Optimist sailing. As sailors weigh out of the 4.7 class, they typically move on to the Laser Radial class, which requires the control of a larger sail. There were a total of 11 boats on the race course.
Chris Sands, of the Nassau Yacht Club, got first place in the Laser Radial division. Sands took first play in each of the nine races in a dominant performance to finish with an adjusted score of eight.]]>http://www.bahamassailing.org/news/files/2aafbb5fa0b9e1581ee075979187d6d9-129.html#unique-entry-id-129contact@bahamassailing.orgRacing2011-03-09T07:03:53-05:00http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/BsaRssFeed/~3/zszK9ZlyNZE/d5b8a1fd8e4be9bc13eb3904b8f25b9c-128.htmlhttp://www.bahamassailing.org/news/files/d5b8a1fd8e4be9bc13eb3904b8f25b9c-128.html#unique-entry-id-128(by Matthew McCoy | Photo Credit: Cyndy Merrill)
The Hope Town Sailing Club held a dinghy race this Monday. It was scheduled for Sunday but moved due to a local funeral. The change of date resulted in quite a few competitive locals (Jeff, Jim and Dwayne) from not competing. Usually it would just be postponed a week but there is already a series scheduled for the following Sunday. At any rate it was a beautiful day and the Abaco Dinghies were able to race for the first time this year. It was the Rheingold Trophy, with the official trophy being presented to the top Abaco Dinghy.

December 26th to the 30th Paul de Souza and myself (Christopher Sands) were in Miami, Florida representing the Bahamas at the 2010 Orange Bowl Youth Regatta. I was also accompanied by coach Robert Dunkley.

Paul sailed in the Optimist Green Fleet and sailed extremely well! If the breeze would have stayed up like it was in the first day he would have easily taken a first or second overall. But as the wind lightened up on the second day Paul was battling it out with some of the other lighter American sailors and still continued to do well. Paul was able to end the regatta with very consistent results and place a great fourth overall!

I sailed in the Laser Radial Fleet amongst 140 other sailors. The competition was tight with people coming from all over, and there being a few world champions in the fleet! The first day I enjoyed the breeze and was able to finish 8th and 3rd which I was pleased with. Then the wind began to die and I was trying to keep my mistakes to a minimum. In the 3rd race my start wasn’t the best and I couldn’t get my boat moving and I finished a rough 27th.
The next two races were still very light but I was able to finish 12th and 6th. Overall I finished 7th out of 140 boats!

In the end it was a great regatta, even with the lack of wind. Both Paul and I have been able to gain so much from this one international regatta. The amount of learning done in just one international regatta is equal to ten local regattas! Lastly, I would really like to thank the Nassau Yacht Club and coach Robert Dunkley!

With a total of eight races sailed in the Laser Radial Boys division, Bahamian Christopher Sands finishes in an enviable 28th position despite his DNE of Monday and RBF of Wednesday [see previous post below dated Jul-14].

Congratulations to Chris who represented our country with pride and fighting very hard as he always does.

Christopher and Robert have a safe trip back home. I look forward to wrap-up this regatta post with you before Chris leaves again next week to participate to the CAC Games in Puerto Rico.
