What a crazy wind day! It started from the NW. Died. Came back from the east. Went west. Filled in from the south. To their credit, the RC led by Justin Harler and Stas Burgiel of the I-20 fleet held their noses and started races.
Below are the scores. Some sailors are falling through the cracks because they have not registered their intension to sail the series. The only skippers I have in the scoring program are those that have registered. So please register here.
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/
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.
Kyra Tallon ran the races.
The day’s results:
(Races 37-39)
And the final results for the Fall Series:
To qualify a boat must have sailed in 50% of the races and performed RC duty.
# indicates not enough races.
$ indicates not enough RC duty.
(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)
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.
We only have a few Sundays left. Come on out! You need to sail 50% of the races to qualify and do some RC.
Mike Tellep ran the races. He and his team ran four W2 races.
(October 23, Races 33-36)
Eva Hogan was in charge of the races. Unfortunately, no wind come in. No races.
Frank Gallagher ran the races with Michael Bors and Ben Cole on the Georgetown RBI.
The wind was generally westerly, but kept teasing that it would shift south and then a big puff would come in from the north.
(September Oct 9, Races 29-32)
Dana Howe ran the races. Oops, he tried, but the wind only tortured him.
(October 2, 2022)
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.
