Singlehanded Dinghy Racing
In the summer of 2020, instigated by the COVID pandemic, LCYC started a series of informal singlehanded dinghy races on Thursday evenings. The racing was open to all comers with the fleet consisting primarily of Lasers and RS Aeros. The response to this new racing series was tremendous and the plan is to continue this series as part of LCYC's racing program. The format is short (~10-15 minute) races with a focus on fun and learning. The races are not scored and coaching, both during and after races, of less experienced sailors by more experienced sailors is not only allowed, but encouraged.
As a result of this new series not only have a lot of Lasers come out of hibernation but by December of 2020 our nascent Aero fleet had grown from 2 to 6 boats. The LCYC Aero fleet members (in chronological order) are:
Dave Powlison - Fleet captain
John Harris
Bill Wight
Jason Hyerstay
Fritz Horton
Tris Coffin
