\"Regatta<\/a>(Town of Lenox, NY \u2013 May 2013) Sailors and spectators alike will be setting course for Oneida Lake June 8 and 9 for a J\/24 Class District 7 Pennant Series Regatta. The two-day, five-race event is sponsored by the Oneida Lake Sailing Club and will set sail from Callahan\u2019s and Oneida Lake Marinas on the southeast corner of the lake off Route 31. Racing on the eastern end of Oneida Lake will be visible from North and South Bay as well as the Verona and Sylvan Beach areas.<\/p>\n

OLSC regatta chairman Dave Parry is enthusiastic about sponsoring a \u201cwell organized and executed series of competitive races that will be both fun and challenging for J\/24 crews and entertaining for spectators both on and off the water. OLSC has an enthusiastic and experienced membership eager to provide hospitality and great racing to crews throughout the region.<\/p>\n

Racing will commence both Saturday and Sunday at 10 a.m. with registration, check-in and skipper\u2019s meetings beforehand. Weekend festivities will also include a Friday happy hour, dinner on Saturday, and a complimentary concluding awards picnic on Sunday afternoon.<\/p>\n

OLSC race captain Lou Scheiderich is confident that the minimum of five races will be well officiated in accordance with The Rules of Sailing, prescriptions of U.S. Sailing, applicable J\/24 class rules, and the Sailing Instructions.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have a trained and experienced race committee on the water who\u2019ve attended race management training and will be well positioned to conduct and monitor the regatta,\u201d Scheiderich said.<\/p>\n

The courses to be sailed will be windward-leeward (upwind-downwind) and will utilize orange and yellow inflatable buoys. The number of legs will be determined at race time based on wind speed, with each race approximately one hour.\u00a0 Courses may have a downwind or upwind finish and will utilize a gate as the leeward turning point.<\/p>\n

A hoist will be available at Callahan\u2019s Marina for launching sailboats, with temporary dockage also part of the facilities, beginning Friday, June 7, from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Space for camping is also present at Callahan\u2019s and Oneida Lake Marinas.<\/p>\n
