2017 OHCC Albacore Regatta

It’s that time of the year again – when OHCC hosts the Albacore fleet for a day of racing on the lake. Even if you’re not an Albacore owner, you can get involved by either being on the Race Committee (it counts for volunteer hours!) or coming out on your own boat to watch. If you volunteer, you also get to hang out for dinner and meet the other sailors.

Happy sailing!

Several weeks after docks-in day, the lake was STILL rising …

Use the committee boat launcher? Forget it!

What we came up with were bridges over troubled waters. By the first of June, we had bridged the gaps!

No need to walk through 3 feet of water to reach the dock …

Our western dock watery crevasse is again navigable …

No need now for the crew to wear rubber boots, to get back to the clubhouse!

Last year, we had to lift the east floating dock, to mate it to the fixed dock …

In 2017, we were up to our knees in water, feeling for the fixed dock fittings!

We’ll just have to row out to the end of the dock!

Several weeks later, the lake was STILL rising …
