The BYC sponsored Whatcom team took DOUBLE TOP HONORS, placing FIRST among sixteen teams in the FJ division and FIRST out of eleven teams in the Alpha division! The Whatcom team also had a very strong showing at a regatta sponsored by the Seattle Yacht Club the previous Saturday.

Many of the Whatcom team members learned to sail in the BYC summer sailing program during the last three years. Congratulations to the Whatcom Community High School Sailing Team!]]> http://youth.byc.org/2011/03/21/high-school-sailing-team-takes-top-honors/feed/ 0 http://youth.byc.org/2010/05/01/wchs-sail-team-in-herald/ http://youth.byc.org/2010/05/01/wchs-sail-team-in-herald/#comments Sat, 01 May 2010 17:20:57 +0000 BYC Webmonkey http://youth.byc.org/?p=188 Whatcom Community High School Sailing Team had a wonderful article on the program featured in the April 30th edition of the Bellingham Herald.

The wind on Saturday was 20-25 mph over some large waves so only the varsity fleet sailed. It made for some challenging conditions and resulted in many capsizes. It was very exciting to watch from the docks. Eventually racing was postponed as we waited for the winds to die down a bit. Sunday was the opposite with very light winds. Sailing was slow and frustrating, but racing still went on. JV fleet was then able to sail and our team had its ups and downs but performed very well in the light conditions.

The camping was a blast. The team had two cabins with bunk beds, one for the girls and one for the boys. We all enjoyed playing frisbee, listening to Riley on the guitar, playing games and eating well. It was a very successful regatta with impressive results. Results are below: UPCOMING: Our next regatta is May 8th in Port Townsend. Expect more information about that early next week. We will continue practicing till the last week of May. See you at practice! JV Results Varsity Results]]> http://youth.byc.org/2010/04/27/427-message-from-coach-scott-wilson/feed/ 0
