Hello College Sailors, Coaches, and Fans: The CJ Buckley Team Race is the summer's premier Junior Team Race event, as well as the 2011 Club 420 Team Race National Championship. In 2009 24 teams attended, and in 2010 32 teams attended, making it a very popular event for junior sailors. The dates for 2011 are Aug 1-3, and it is in East Greenwich, Rhode Island. For more info, visit www.cjbuckleyregatta.net
Below are 2 important pieces of information: 1) 2011 CJ Team Race College Night: On Monday, Aug 1, there is the CJ Buckley "College Night." This will start at approximately 5:30 PM, and we'd like to have lots of representatives from collegiate teams in attendance. This is a great opportunity to meet the junior sailors out there and represent your program. Please contact Justin Assad if interested. 2) Call for Volunteers: Are you free on Aug 1,2, or 3? If so, we could really use your help at the 2011 CJ Buckley Team Race. You can volunteer for 1, 2 or all 3 days, and it is really a fantastic event to support. You can make it but need a place to stay? No problem, we can figure something out. Not sure if you're qualified? Don't worry, whether it's umpiring or RC duty, we'll find something that you can do! Seriously - this is a very special event, and a great opportunity to give back to the sport. Please contact Justin Assad if you're interested in helping out. Coaches, please forward to your teams. Overview: In December of 2002, 17 year old CJ Buckley lost a valiant battle with brain cancer. In 2003, Greenwich Bay Sailing Association inaugurated the CJ Buckley Regatta, which became the CJ Buckley Team Race, to remember CJ, an avid sailor. The event has grown and has been the Club 420 National Team Race Championship in 2009 and 2010, and will be again in 2011. Please come help us celebrate a great friend and teammate by playing (and supporting) the game we all love. Contact Justin Assad if you'd like to join us. -Justin ------------------------------------------------ Let us endeavour so to live that when we come to die even the undertaker will be sorry. - Mark Twain Justin Assad m: 917.846.6852 em: justin.assad(at)gmail.com please consider our environment before printing. ________________________________________________ icsa mailing list [email protected] http://www.collegesailing.org/mailman/?listname=icsa Unsubscribe: Send a blank email to [email protected]
