IMPORTANT!  Wanting to sail is not enough!  For each session, we will need at least 1 parent to trailer the racing boats to the regatta.  Even if we had a doorbuster of a roster, we can’t race unless we can get the boats to the regatta.  Let me know if you can trailer boats to a regatta.

THIS IS NOT REGISTRATION, just an interest probe.  Email Chris@FOBHNJ.org to let me know if you would sign up, or if you have any questions or comments.

We are making preparations for hurricane Irene, which if her present course holds, may come by and affect us this weekend. The full force of 40+ mph winds may start to hit us Saturday night.
Stay tuned to this web site for updates as to member hours etc this weekend. It could be a complete washout.
Starting Thursday night we will be pulling some boats off the dock and moving some others out of the mooring fields. We can always use help, so if you have some time available, come down to the dock and lend a hand. We will try to leave an ongoing list with the dock workers so there should be something to do any time after Thursday afternoon.
