Windmill Class Association

Hola.

I noticed on the last edition of the Jouster that including me there are 6 new windmillers in Florida. Six plus the regular Ethan, super Dave, Dan, Arthur, Chesa (has Chesa moved down here already?) and some other(s) who may not be accounted for (Colin Browning for one who recently bought a Windmill) totals over ten Windmills. We should all get together and stage a monthly Windmill sail. It can be a fun day get together or it can be a serious race day.

If it is a fun get together, we can do it on a saturday or a sunday and pick destinations around the area from Lakeland to Boca Ciega or Sarasota and of course including Davis Island YC. If we want to race, Davis Island YC offers sunday races every other sunday throughout the year with a race schedule posted on the web page www.diyc.org Since I love plugging DIYC, on Sunday races we have many dinghy sailors show up, a well marked race course, a nice air conditioned bar, a pool, etc.

If you are a Florida Windmill sailor and you would like to stage such a get together, just email me your preference and we will figure it out. I race my windmill Lady Lane on every DIYC sunday race so that venue is MY default on a scheduled sunday race but I am open to other days and othe locations.

Here is the DIYC sunday schedule
