Announcing the Mid-South Fall Championship Reagtta - from Garry Roberts

Time for a repeat of the note from our Treasurer:
Remember to send in your dues.
- Dues are only $30 / year,
- Dues are due Jan. 1 each year,
- The difference in replacement mast cost is $600 more to non-members, (i.e., 20 years of dues!),
- And two of last three new mast buyers were not members in the previous year.
Bottom Line: send dues to Latour before you crash your mast!

Sailing World again features the 7.9
I was finally getting to read the June 2011 issue of Sailing World, when I cam across the "one thursday night in America" article. The title and the blurb about how they asked readers to write in is set on a great photo of Maniac (#311). The #1 is cracked off a bot and the sun is setting at the bowpulpit as a crew clutches what looks like a super sized Heinekien and holds the boom box on the cabin top. Roger Keubel - Maniac's owner - sent in the article. Thanks Roger!
S2 7.9 Class Featured again by Sailing World!!!
The Jun 2011 Sailng World magazine article One Thrusday Night in America opens with
an article by our Class Member Roger Kuebel about their Weeknight racing at Jubilee YC, Beverly Harbor, Mass. It is good
to hear about the S2 7.9's that are out there! This Class of boats is on the rise!
Sailng World magazine features our S2 7.9 Class
in their first SW NOODs Video Series.
The fleet at St. Pete stars in the video, which can be found at:

Horizon True Receives High Marks
in Practical Sailor review
We are quite proud of our Class Board Member, Director of Rules and Specifications, Jeff Mootz for receiving high marks in the Practical Sailor review of his Horizon True camera mount system
Horizon True camera mounts came about as a desire to film on a sailboat primarily for racing and post race analysis. Keeping the horizon level is needed not only for the viewer watching the video but to give a true sense of what is happening on the boat. Horizon True camera mounts have evolved over the last 12 years along with technology, i.e., smaller cameras. These mounts are also hydraulic dampened so there is much less rebound-swinging of the camera, coming off a wave for example. Horizon True mounts are used professionally in filming with Gary Jobson for ESPN. The mounts are designed for a variety of cameras. Horizon True has a line of cameras available as well. See
www.horizontrue.com for more details.
All mounts and cameras have been tested on a S2 7.9 "Skyhawk" on Lake Minnetonka MN.
