Message from the Commodore
The UnRegatta and Ol’ Man O’ the Sea
2021 is already at mid-year, and Texoma Sailing Club social calendar and sailing program are fully active. Here is a recap of some of our recent activities.
TSC’s annual Spring Regatta was held in late April and was a great success. A very heartfelt thank you to all those that volunteered their time and expertise in preparing and supporting this event. A thank you as well to the Point Restaurant at Grandpappy Marina for catering the dinner Saturday night.
In May, TSC held a Fun Sail and Fajita dinner earlier in the month. Last weekend was the 3rd annual Ladies at the Helm race followed by the ever-popular Shrimp Boil. We had excellent participation at both events and were fortunate that the weather held out for the racers on those days as well.
Before we enter the long, hot and often windless days of summer, please consider some of our events scheduled for the month of June.
June 12 – The UnRegatta – an untraditional race involving 360 turns, unique approaches to the marks and other “fun” twists on the Regatta theme. This race is followed by a Hamburger Dinner.
June 26 – Ol’ Man O’ the Sea – this is a single-handed race and TSC’s annual Fish Fry is that evening.
Not interested in racing? Join the club members at the Point Restaurant for the Ol’ Man O’ the Sea Watch Partyinstead! It is a great way to enjoy the race action and cheer on the sailors without being on the water.
We welcome and appreciate pictures and photos if you are willing to share.
Reservations for any of these events can be made through Mary Nichols at mhnichols54@gmail.com. Hope to see you there!
Regards,

The UnRegatta - June 12
The UnRegatta is the most unusual race of the year. Sailors are challenged in a variety of
non-conformist aspects of our typical sailboat races.
- A LeMans style start will be used where sails remain furled until the start.
- A unique course will test sailor's skills navigating buoys
- 360 degree turns will be required on certain legs of the race.
All-in-all this race will include skills needed for our fixed mark courses and our buoy course!
This is a TSC Championship Race so be sure to register and keep you drive to accumulate Championship points current.
The Notice of Race can be found on our Racing webpage.
