Looks like a warm and windy weekend for 20 high-school teams in Austin this weekend, with the high-school nationals kicking off at Austin Yacht Club this weekend. 100+ sailors from across the country will be competing for the 2011 Mallory Trophy and bragging rights for best high-school team.
The weather forecast is showing sunny 80-85F days and 10-18knot breezes to go with the 72F water.
Make sure you stick around for Saturday night at AYC – rumor has it that Big Momma will be serving up some tasty BBQ to go with the local music!
You can find the Notice of Race at the Interscholastic Sailing Association site.

Nice video of some Optis having fun Corpus Christi’s 20+ knots, at an INTYSA clinic last weekend. Thanks to AYC member Eric Rochard for the forward.
Maybe we should teach some PBJ classes there?

There was no middle ground for the 92 boats at this year’s Roadrunner Regatta, with 20+ knots on Saturday and 0-5 knots Sunday.
Three cheers to everyone who participated, included the “longest traveled” group from Mississippi, and all who volunteered to make this event happen. Check out the TSA Youth Circuit calendar for more events, including Canyon Lake (Mar 19-20).
Here are the race results and photos (thanks to Bill Records, ace photographer).

After the thunderstorms passed, the Optis and Lasers made the most of today’s 15-22 knot breezes in beautiful sunshine. The Opti Green Fleet did very well in harbor’s shifty winds. More racing on Sunday.

Ever wonder what Amarillo and Paris had in common? Art! Now you know.
French sculptor Julien Berthier’s fantastical “sinking boat” sculpture below is turning heads, and is a beautiful complement to Amarillo’s Caddilac Ranch, n’est pas?

Alan Rochard, our local Opti Guru, will be teaching a clinic this weekend. We’ll also be introducing our new coach, Kate Noble, so please join us this Saturday, Feb 20 at 1:00pm.
this could be you...
Regardless of weather, we’d like everyone to come out – even if it’s too cold to sail, Alan will hold a chalk-talk and do a session on
rigging. It’s also our first event of the season, so it’s a great time to see old friends and learn about what is planned for the year.
Bring-your-own-boat or borrow one of the club’s Optis. We’ll have seven Opti’s available, so reserve yours soon by sending a note to brecordsfotos@yahoo.com.
