Seasons Greetings
It has been a great year for racing Solings and US12s, not unduly hindered by milfoil, and thanks to the new Wednesday rain date, added this year, not as affected by bad weather. Tim Wright started out the season by winning the Sasquatch Footy Regatta, and proceeded to win just about everything else.
News Flash! Sasquatch Footy Regatta scheduled for May 30, 2020.

Lots of other class boats sailed with us over the course of the season: Marblehead, Santa Barbara, Soling 50, Dragron Flite 95, Dragon Force 65, T65, Serenity, J Boat, a Chinese Junk, and Footys – RC controlled and free-sailing. Next year we might also see a couple of Whirlwind J Boats, and a V36. The club hosted one regional event: The Sasquatch Footy Regatta in the Nor’easter Footy Series.
Club members volunteered to help with parking for the NHBM auction, and help on the docks for the biennial Vintage Race Boat Regatta in Wolfeboro Bay. Club members also competed in regional events at Stowe Vermont, Nashua New Hampshire, and at Needham and Marblehead Massachusetts. Next year will be even better. Watch out for more DF95s and DF65s as these are the fastest growing classes in the AMYA.
Long Live the Soling 1 Meter Class
As the Back Bay Skippers was started to race Solings, and most members sail Solings, loosing the original manufacturer and supplier of the Soling kits has caused considerable concern. It is also of concern to the AMYA, as the Soling 1M Class has the largest number of boats registered to AMYA members. Tim Stone, AMYA Soling 1 Meter Class Secretary elect, sent out a status report on the S1M kits to be made by the new manufacturer. No dates for availability of the new kits have been announced but they are making progress. Hopefully kits will be available for the next Summer building class. There seems to be enough used boats for new members, but building a boat yourself increases the level of commitment and the experience helps in adjustment, and any repairs that may be required in the future.

Mark and Kathleen
Commodore Mark Whitehead has been occupied taking care of his wife, Kathy, who is recovering at home from a recent fall. Best wishes to Kathy for a speedy recovery. We’re all looking forward to another of her cunningly devised challenging games to choose the winner of the door prize at the next Spring Skippers Party.

Linville memorial trophy.
Skippers and Friends,
We have had a challenging season with weather and weeds. Now we have yet another challenge. The State has just closed our alternate site at Indian Lake because of bacterial contamination, and there is no way to know when it might re-open.
Our choices are now very limited. Postpone sailing or find another site.
I know it’s short notice, I know it’s not ideal, and I know it’s notnecessarily convenient for some of our skippers, but out of necessity I have decided to change the venue for the upcoming Jim and Susan Linville Regatta, this coming Sunday.
The new site is at Sandy Pond in New Hampshire.
The address I use for my navigation system is 90 National Street, Nashua, NH. The site is used by the Nashua Model Yacht Club and has both parking and a porta-potty. Racing will begin at 11:00am.
Both Soling One Meters and DF95’s are welcome to race. There will be first through third place trophies for each class, and aperpetual trophy will be awarded to the winner of the Soling class to keep until next year.
I hope all of you will come and help us commemorate Jim and Susan Linville.
See you there,
Cliff Martin, Commodore
