Angelica Yacht Club held its Annual cookout and sailing awards Sept 2 on Point Connett, Mattapoisett.
This year, the Angelica Yacht Club lead by Commodore Dan Warren, featured mainly junior and beginner sailors in the Sunfish Class. Races are held every Sunday morning off Tuttle Pier. Beginners, sailing with an experienced sailor, race several races as spectators watch and cheer from the pier. As beginners, they learn how to rig their boat to put it in the water, the rules of sailing, how to manage the five-minute start sequence, rounding the buoys the correct way, sail trim and steering. The races usually last 15-20 minutes each, and all the kids get a chance to race whether they own a boat or not. Boats and adult supervision are provided by the yacht club. The Beginners races are then followed by the Juniors and Open series where there is plenty of competitive spirit.
After a great cookout, the sailing awards were presented by Commodore Warren. Flags were presented for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place finishes in each race and Series trophies for July and August.
