Greetings to all Olson 30 sailors. This is to let you know that the Seattle Fleet will be hosting the Olson 30 Nationals in Puget Sound June 3 through June 6th 2004. We are looking forward to welcoming sailors from Vancouver British Columbia, Seattle Tacoma, Washington, San Francisco and Los Angeles, California, USA.
To assist the people arriving from outside the area this report will give you an idea of the dates and events planned so far. Regatta headquarters will be at the Corinthian Yacht Club’s floating clubhouse on Pier S in the Shilshole Bay Marina at address 7755 Seaview Avenue N.W. Seattle, Washington 98117.

There are two cranes capable of launching Olsons 30 from keel Lifting Eyes. Both hoists can be used for installing Rigs at almost all tides . There is a Coney Island restaurant one block from the clubhouse and Golden Gardens sandy beach just North of the restaurant.

Race Committee
The Corinthian Yacht Club of Seattle professional race committee will run the races. Corinthian race committees have handled numerous national and international regattas.
Weather
Temperature in Seattle this time of year is usually 55 to 75 degrees. There is a chance we could get some rain, which is usually light. Average Seattle wind speed is 8knts with lower velocities usually coming in mid summer. However there is a chance we could get wind 15knts and higher. The course is in open water so waves could be up to five feet but we do not expect to see waves above three-foot height.
