Wrangle
Regatta
The
Wrangle Regatta for Butterflies and Lasers was held last weekend, June 8-9.
The event is the only dedicated single-handed regatta at White Rock
each year. More
information is below under Junior Program, and racing results are on the
Website.
From
the Davit Registrar
Davit
Registrar Clancy McKenna has attempted to identify all of the boats and the
associated owners who are currently occupying the boat pads. These are listed
below.
Please let Clancy know if your boat/pad is not correctly identified and
he will change the records accordingly.
We
do not have any owner information on the boats/pads that are labeled as “NOT
PAID”.
If you own one of those boats, or know the owner, please contact Clancy
McKenna at 972 231-4521.
All of the “NOT PAID” boats will be moved off of the pads in July,
and those spaces will be made available to new renters.

Sailing Program
Editors
Note:
CSC is blessed with many volunteers who give most generously of their
time and effort to the Club.
But even among this crowd, Sandy Denison stands out for the tremendous
energy he devotes to the Junior Sailing Program.
Junior
Sail Camps
The
junior sail camps have begun. Three
camps are scheduled back-to-back: June 3-14, June 17-28 and July 1-12. All the
available slots in each camp are now filled.
However, in the event positions later open up, send in a registration
form and we will contact you if a slot becomes available.
The registration form may be download
from the junior page on the CSC website.
Jimmy
Sturgul from Bellingham, Washington has joined us this summer as Head Coach of
our junior program. Jimmy is a
Level 1 U.S. Sailing certified instructor and is excited about teaching our
juniors how to sail and race. Brian
Garrison, a member of the SMU Sailing team, has also been brought on as
Assistant Coach, together with CSC juniors Joey DeCosta and Paul Denison who
are serving as student coaches. When
you see Jimmy and Brian working around the junior’s area, please welcome
them to our club.
Tom
Coleman Optimist Clinic
Tom
Coleman from McLaughlin Boat Works conducted an Optimist clinic at CSC during
the weekend of June 1-2. The clinic was attended by fifteen Opti sailors, nine
from CSC and two each from Fort Worth, Grapevine and Oklahoma City. The clinic
was a great success. New friends were made and all the kids picked up valuable
tips on racing strategy and tactics and how to competitively sail an Optimist.
White
Rock “Round-Up” Junior Regatta: June 15-16
Next
weekend, June 15-16, the best junior sailors from Texas, Oklahoma and
surrounding states will descend on CSC for the “White Rock Round-Up,” a
TSA Junior Circuit Regatta. Expected classes are Optimists, Laser Radials, and
420’s. CSC
Juniors who are interested in competing in the regatta should contact Sandy
Denison by email or at 214-826-3998
ASAP to advise us if they plan to compete in the regatta. The
CSC Coach and Education Commodore will assign club Optimists and Laser Radials
later this week to those juniors indicating a desire to race. It is therefore
imperative that we know now which juniors want to race.
The Notice of Regatta and Registration Form may be downloaded
from the CSC Website and copies are available in the clubhouse.
Advanced
Race Training
For
those juniors interested in racing we have included in our program two new
components:
Extended
Day Race Training:
During our camps we have set aside a period of two hours each afternoon from
2-4 after the end of the regular session which is dedicated solely to race
training. Consideration is now
being given to increasing this period an hour, such that it will run from 2 to
5 each day. This program is
generally open only to juniors who have achieved race level competence. The
junior does not necessarily have to be enrolled in one of the camps to
participate. The fee is currently
$50 for a two-week period.
Advanced
Race Camp:
For those juniors planning to attend Texas Race Week on Galveston Bay from
July 20-27, we will hold a special advanced race training camp during the week
of July 15-18. This camp will be
geared specifically to preparing our juniors for that event, which is a series
of three regattas held over eight days and is the highlight of the TSA Junior
Sailing Circuit each year. The fee for the advanced camp, which will include
on the water coaching during Texas Race Week, will be $125.
If
your junior sailor is interested in either the extended day race training or
the special advanced camp in preparation for Texas Race Week, you should
contact Sandy Denison by email or at
214-826-3998.
Butterfly/Laser
“Wrangle” Regatta
The
Wrangle Regatta for Butterflies and Lasers was held last weekend, June 8-9.
The event, which is the only dedicated single-handed regatta at White
Rock each year, was open to juniors. CSC junior Paul Denison represented CSC
sailing against adults in the Butterfly class. Paul finished 8th
overall out of 18 competitors, beating a past Butterfly National Champion in
one race and taking home the trophy for top junior. Next year we hope that
more of our CSC juniors, particularly in Laser Radials, will compete.
For
more information on CSC’s junior sailing activities contact Sandy Denison,
CSC Rear Commodore for Sailing Education, 214-826-3998 or sandy@sdenison.net
