2023 Spring Sunday Series #2

Stew Harris and I-20 team ran the races.  The southerly was steady and the wind was easy to handle.

The scoring has changed this season.   (And we are still figuring out the edge cases.)

1) boats must register their intension to sail in the series,  Use this link to register: https://forms.gle/9riR85toVRbdvZ976.

2) all registered boats are scored in each race,

3) race committee is given a provisional score of number of finishers but eventually will get their average among non-DNC (doing RC will help your series score), and

4) showing up at the marina gives you a DNS ( = number of finishers + 2) which is better than DNC ( = number registered) even if you don’t splash your boat.

SS2 – Albacore

SS2 – Buccaneer

SS2 – I20

(Race 24-39, best 50 percent, e.g best 8 of 15 or 16  or best 7 of 13 or 14 or best 6 of 10 or 11)

2022 PRSA Fall Series # 7 (Oct 30)

Unfortunately, the wind gods did not favor us.

Nabeel Alsalam postponed on-shore and Lars & Dylan Rathjen went out on the river looking for any kind of sailable breeze.  It wasn’t there and Nabeel  after consulting with  assistant-PRO Dana Howe.abandoned the day’s races at 11:30.

That was too bad as 6 Lightning, 5 I-20s, 2 Albacore, and 2 or 3 Laser skippers were present.

 

2022 Fall Series #2

David Metcalf ran the races with his team of Joshua as recorder and Jim Greenly and Joe as mark boat.  He reports:

The wind was a steady 10 mph (per Windalert), 81 degrees, A beautiful day to be on the water.

Jim and Joe in Mark Boat set up a very good course, each race took 30 to 40 minutes. We were able to run 5 races for the Lightnings and Albacores, we ran 4 races for the combined lasers / buccaneers / I-20.
We used the VHF radio and about half the boats were able to get updates via radio.
