Kids should race dinghies every chance they get (my in my humble opinion of course), and they have yet another opportunity this weekend at the Mount Baker Rowing and Sailing Center. And the ever-growing contingent of young Laser sailors might well put this on their list. Here’s the link.
From the website: The 2019 Baker Bowl Regatta will be held on Saturday, October 26. We are offering racing in Optimist, Laser, FJ, 420, and V-15 classes. Entry fee is $20 per sailor and lunch is included. Please register through the Registration Sheet below. Payment can be made on site the morning of the event. We accept cash, check, and credit card payments.

The more sailing and racing the better
Great to have Mt Baker Rowing and Sailing hosting the the first and hopefully annual Baker Bowl!
I have many fond memories racing dinghy’s at Leschi as a kid.
