Regatta Committee Racing
Wednesday, July 22, 2009
Skippers & others,
The Race Committee Chairman, Olaf, and myself want to remind all Wednesday night racers that we want to keep racing safe, so if you find yourself at the start being closed out at the RC Boat by a leward boat, then be prepared to tack away to avoid a domino effect of collisions or fouls. In other words, don't barge.
I've had a request to have the RC Boat change the starting order to Div 3, Div 2, & then Div 1, with the reasoning being that then the boats would finish more together (slower boats getting a head start). I've discussed it with a few people and one worry is changing things up might cause confusion, another is that the slowest boats in Div. 2 and Div. 3 might get rolled by Div. 1 boats, but the faster boats in Div. 2 & 3 might not get rolled and therefore could have an advantage. As I looked at the PHRF #'s in Div. 2 & 3, I notice that Div. 2 actually has the slowest boats, so then should we order it Div 2, Div 3, Div 1? Let me know what you think. I'm happy to keep it the way it is, but we're receptive to change if you want it.
I've attached the more printable pdf format of the results.
You'll note that Roxanne's PHRF number is 5 lower than usual. Their One-design spinnaker was damaged and needs a little time to be repaired, so Tony Dill has said that they should be penalized 5 points while they need to use their larger spinnaker.
Breakaway did start with Division 3, but the kids really wanted to fly the chute, so they did. Their results aren't figured into the Summer Series, so I put a J-80's spin PHRF rating down to get their corrected time for them, so they can compare how they did in both Div 2 & Div 3. Thanks Drevet for taking the Pierson H.S. Sailing Team out on Breakaway.
