Join us in plotting the 2008 Corinthian sailing season. We're meeting on Tuesday, April 22 at 6:00 pm at Carl R's, just off exit 18 of the Northway. Please come to offer your input and your help.

Joy Wins Single-Handed Race

A great turnout for the LGCYC Single-Handed Race; see the complete results.

Single-Handed, Women's Race on Sunday

The next Corinthian race is actually two special races on Sunday, August 12: the LGCYC Single-Handed Race and the LGCYC Women’s Race. Charlie Pound on Ivory Blue is Race Committee. Depending on the number of boats present at the start for each race, the Race Committee will decide whether or not both races start at the same time. Participants in both races should plan on a 1 pm start in front of Yankee Marina. All sailors in the Single-Handed Race are required to wear a PFD and trail a line behind the boat for the duration of the race for safety. (And all sailors in the Women's Race are required to be women.)

Around the Islands Results

A beautiful day with a nice breeze. A triangle course using Flora, Crown and Dome islands as marks, with just about everyone spending some time trapped in the doldrums between Crown and Green islands. Joy and Wild Thing tacked up through the Narrows together after the race, where Bill Dutcher took this photo.

Around the Islands Regatta

This Sunday is the Corinthian Around the Islands Regatta, a white-sails-only event (no spinnakers) that starts up around Dome Island and will use islands as marks, depending on wind direction. Open to all sailors, not just LGCYC members.

Next race is scheduled for Sunday, July 8, and it will be a joint event with Y-Knot. The course will be set up just off Camp Chingachgook, Happy Days is scheduled to be committee boat.

Wild Thing Wins Brodie Cup in Ti Race

The 34th Lake George / Ticonderoga Race was marked by extremely light wind for the first four hours at the southern end of the course, better breeze up north, and a return to light and variable down south on the way home. Spencer Raggio on Wild Thing won in the spinnaker fleet, with crew Dennis Hudson and Tom Selfridge. Mossy Log was first in the non-spinnaker fleet, and Gypsy won in the multihull fleet. Complete results, and some photos from the awards ceremony courtesy of Dennis Hudson.

New Corinthian Banquet Info

From Commodore Charlie Pound: “Just a quick update regarding the upcoming Annual Corinthian Awards Banquet. After a few conversations between our members and members of Y-Knot Sailing, we have decided to combine both our Fall Banquets into one great event, to be held at Camp Chingachgook. This combined dinner offers new opportunities to meet other lake sailors, tell a few tall tales, enjoy a wonderful meal and most importantly make the presentation of the funds raised during the Ti Race in person. To make this even easier, by sheer coincidence the dates of the two banquets happen to be the same, so schedule changes are minimized. So please look over the new details below, and join us for a spectacular joining of sailing forces. I look forward to seeing you all before the snow flies.”

Corinthian/Y-Knot Fall Banquet, cocktail hour starts at 4:00 pm on Saturday, November 11, 2006 at Camp Chingachgook on Pilot Knob. Dinner is your choice of beef or salmon, and includes beer and wine. Cost: $25 per person. For more information, or to make a reservation, please contact Debby Meier (518-792-4253) prior to November 6th so we can give the Camp a head count. Directions to the camp can be found on the Y-Knot site.
