Fourth of July  

Prater and Nancy Monning, Rear Commodores for Entertainment, are planning a terrific Fourth of July evening at the Club.  Tentative plans call for barbecue catered by Holy Smokes Original Barbecue, with music by the Brushy Creek Band (bluegrass from East Texas.)  Everyone is encouraged to attend, then stay at the Club after dark for a grand view of fireworks at the Cotton Bowl and nearby country clubs.  All this for a bargain $5 per head.

 Look for a postcard announcing final plans!

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.

Junior 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
