March
The "Shamrock" Regatta for RC Lasers was completed on Saturday, March 27 with 14 skippers competing.  The race committee was headed by Dave Brawner and included Harry Mote, Joe Cole and Ivor Walton.  At the end of the day, after sailing twelve races, the first three finishing positions were Ryan Lippincott, James Betts and Rob Seidelman.  Only three points separated these three boats.  The complete scoresheet for all the competitors can be seen here.


On Saturday, March 27, MAMYC will be hosting a one-day regatta for RC Lasers.  This event has been organized by Dave Brawner who will also be the Race Director.  There will be 15 to 20 Lasers participating from 10:00 AM until 4:00 PM and it should be an exciting day of racing with a class of boat that we don't usually see at Mt. Laurel.  So come on over to the lake and check it out, and if you want to help Dave that's fine too.

Also, don't forget that the following day, Sunday March 28, is opening day for EC12 club racing at Mt Laurel.  Some of the Lasers may be joining us as well.

January   
The annual club meeting will be held at 12:00 on January 10 at "Pizzatullo's" restaurant which is on Church Street about 3/4 mile North of the lake.  We will be eating lunch, giving out trophies for 2009, reviewing the schedule for 2010 and discussing any other topics of interest.
