Community Sailing of Colorado Seeks New Executive Director
While it may not be obvious, there is always something happening in the sailing community here in Colorado. During the off season, there will be changes within both DSA as well as within the local organizations we work closely with on an ongoing basis. This winter, Community Sailing of Colorado will be interviewing candidates and hiring a new Executive Director to replace Steve Frank, who after 16 years of service has decided to pursue other activities. The Executive Director of Community Sailing of Colorado plays a very important role in the future of sailing in Colorado. Community Sailing is committed to teaching kids the sport of sailing, kids who will hopefully become the future members of DSA and other area racing organizations.

2009 Colorado Governor’s Cup and Junior Regatta
Though the weather didn’t entirely cooperate for the weekend everyone who attended the 2009 Governor’s Cup was able to get seven quality races with some great competition and close finishes. While temperatures were a little cooler on Saturday, the breeze was perfect and race committee was able to get in four quality races on both the dinghy course and keel boat course. After wards, anyone who was not to cold gathered together on the lower deck of the club house and enjoyed some dinner and talked about the great wind and racing that afternoon. Sunday started out to be the exact opposite of Saturday with light winds and warm temperatures. But patience paid off and eventually we were able to get one last great race to finish off a magnificent weekend of sailboat racing on Cherry Creek. Everyone was off the water by 3:30pm and shortly after an awards ceremony was held with complementary raffle items from a number of sponsors, as well as pizza and ice cream for the racers. A special thanks to all of those who came down to help out and make it a great weekend! And a big congratulations to Ray McClery and his crew on A Fine Pickle for winning the 2009 Governor’s Cup!
