Shields Fleet 9

Save the Bay has made a serious entry into the fight against the Weavers Cover LNG terminal.  yes, that project still has potential, and a mean set of side effects to go with it.  please go to www.savebay.org and sign the petition, email our government leaders, and spread the word.  The impact on our bay if this terminal goes forward will be insurmountable, and we’d all have to move to Annapolis and drift around and wonder what happened. do something.

The season is creeping up on us fast.  We will be announcing a kickoff party soon, likely the week of April 27, likely at Newport Yacht Club again.  Racing starts May 13!!! We are accepting registrations on the website again, feel free to start now, click here, or you can do it in person when you come to the party.  Some rule changes this season, we hope to have another seminar/quick talk about that too.  The NOR and SI will be online soon, some changes in there as well.  Keep an eye out for an email, or here on the site.  If you changed your email lately, or just don’t remember, it can’t hurt to plug it into the newsletter site again, click here to enter your address.

With the recent change in our National Class rules regarding the use of digital compasses, many of you may want a fancy new compass.  There are plans for a  group purchase of the Tack Tick compass at a significant discount.  If you are interested in purchasing a compass through this program, please let us know, and we will be included in a group purchase.  We anticipate the final cost to be below $400, (regular price $499) but the exact cost will not be known until we have a count of how many will actually be ordered.

information on the Tack Tick can be read on West Marine and our National Site

Email me directly if you are interested, we will give a count to the powers that be, and then let you know about payment details.
