NEW BRIDGE MEETS:

While it still might be just a little too cold to get out on the boat, there is still a lot of activity going on in the ESSA fleets:

The new bridge had its’ first meeting at Deke Sheller’s house on Feb.19^th.  A wide range of plans for the coming season was discussed including schedules for the upcoming season, more cooperation with the Cambridge Yacht Club, and the ESSA website.

Greg Mitchell has been the website administrator and has been doing a great job for a very long time. He has decided to step down and Cindy Haughtaling has graciously agreed to take over. THANK YOU, Greig, for a job well done!

The ESSA website is THE information source for ESSA:

https://essasailing.com/index.html

On it you can find all the rules and regulations that govern our association, membership and racing forms, dues information, the latest news, event schedules (Click on the “Calendar” tab in the upper right corner) and lots and lots of photos!

The next Bridge meeting will be held on March 19^th, 4:30pm at Deke Sheller’s house and any ESSA member is welcome to attend.

Rating  (PHRF) 240

Anyone looking at boats in the 20 to 24 foot range should take a close look at the Tanzer 22. Over 2200 of these boats were built. In fact, anyone buying a Tanzer 22 will quickly discover that they are part of a network of owners who take a great deal of pride in their boats.

All this means that many Tanzer 22s are being actively raced as a one-design or under PHRF. But this is also a boat that can take a small family out for a short cruise. It has a big cockpit and a flush deck which provides for lots of sunbathing space. Below there is more room than first meets the eye, despite the fact that the bulkhead which divides the v-berth from the main cabin gives the appearance of cramped quarters. On top of all this, the Tanzer 22 has gained a considerable reputation for seagoing capabilities. While this boat was available with a swing keel, most were built with the fin keel.
