US Sailing Team Spotlight -
Princess Sofia Trophy Regatta
In Palma de Mallorca, Spain, thirty members
(18 teams) of the US Sailing Team have battled cold, fluky
and frustrating conditions during the first few days of
racing at the Princess Sofia Trophy Regatta, one of six
regattas in the ISAF World Cup Series. The event began on
Saturday and runs through Friday. Today, the fleets were
divided into Gold and Silver, and in some classes, Bronze,
with the best sailors in the Gold group. US Sailing Team
members are showing strong performances midway through the
regatta.

Live Online Demonstration of US SAILING Regatta Network
Based on the success of last
week's live online demonstration of the US SAILING Regatta
Network, US SAILING is offering three demonstrations next
week on different days and different times of day. The US
SAILING Regatta Network is designed to help sailing
organizations with online event registration, fleet
management and scoring of any type of sailing
event. Organizers can stop worrying about payments, race day
registration headaches and posting final results because the
US SAILING Regatta Network does all that.

Spring is the Time to Check for Powerline Hazards
Your sailing organization is hosting a
regatta this summer, or expanding its dry sail area to
include a new class. As you prepare for the hectic summer
sailing season, now is the time to take a look around the
property or the regatta venue for overhead powerline
hazards. Make sure that the launch ramps, staging areas and
parking lots don't have any overhead problems. Contact your
local utility company to have a powerline moved. If your
regatta is held in a public park, contact the park managers.
Prevent accidents before they happen.
