Don’t forget, this is the SMALL runway!

Between now and the start of the Eastern Landsailing Championships at Loring Air Base September 13-18, you can have a brand new BloKart with free delivery and a free pod. The pod is what separates the production from the performance Kart and makes the yacht faster and more comfortable. Enjoy a savings of $825.00!

While you’re mulling it over, or while you’re putting your event registration in the mail here’s a lesson on what can happen if your main sheet gets jammed:

Thanks to Mike Dinning for putting this together, not to mention his BB support throughout the attempt.

Our fifth, can you believe it, landsailing regatta is booked at Loring for Wednesday September 14 through Sunday September 18. Everything will be pretty much as last time, but details will be posted here as the date approaches. It would be very helpful at this end for planning purposes if all registrations were in by August 15. Fees are fully refundable if you can’t make it at the last minute.
Still a bargain at a hundred bucks. Please include sail number and class.class. Weight if sailing BloKarts.
