On Saturday, April 9th, the 2011 sailing season at Hunterdon Sailing Club got rolling with the annual launching of the Sea Which Won II. About 20 club members worked under the direction of Rear Commodore Bill Foster to get the Sea Which launched, the safety boats cleaned & sorted out, the club Sunfish spiffed up and the new – yes, you read right – new race marks spliced to their anchor rodes and race-ready. Plus we took the opportunity to clean a *lot* of old junk out of the shed.
Here are a few photos from the day. All photographs are courtesy of Calvin Clowes.
Launching the Sea Which is a community affair
Splicing the anchor rodes on to the new racing marks. Note how they do not deflate when sat upon. Big improvement!

Club Sunfish get readied for the new sailing season
We finally got around to installing those solar panels. Now we just need something to power with them!
Yes, they did eventually get the motor running!
The HSC 2011 sailing season at Spruce Run Reservation starts this Wednesday with the first Wednesday evening Sunfish races.
See you all at the lake!
