Party after the race tonight - bring stuff to grill (5/12/2010)
Skippers & Others,

"The grill will be lit and the keg will be tapped. Join us after the race for preliminary race results at the clubhouse following the race. Bring your own food for the grill.
Also, there has been very light response via word of mouth and none via email regarding the race to Montauk. Please consider this race and talk about it with your crews. If I get a reasonable amount of boats 6-10 the race can still happen. I am working on having the return race end at Shelter Island Yacht club to attend the rules seminar."
Wave Equation isn't racing tonight, but I'm bringing my computer and will be able to score it tonight.

Revised BYC 5/5 results
Skippers and Others,
There are a few changes to last Wednesday's race (also attached - click here for pdf).
First, Loki changed from non-spin to spin and I forgot to change their PHRF to their spinnaker rating. This did make a difference in the placing positions.
Secondly, you may also notice that I changed the starting time from 6:05 to 6:06:52. The finish times on the timesheet were correct (same as our boat's GPS). This change was done because the handheld GPS that was used on the RC boat was off a bit at the start (new batteries and maybe hadn't been on long enough before the start). I had taken down our GPS time at the start and finish and our elapsed time from our countdown timer and our elapsed times were the same using those 2 methods. Anyway the placing positions didn't change when I put in the corrected start time, but the differences in corrected times when comparing how much one boat beat another changed slightly.
Thirdly, I forgot to put Two Potato in as a DNC for the race.
Fourthly, I've received 2 more PHRF's so their numbers are no longer highlighted.
Incase you weren't at the Commissioning on 4/24/10, below is something you may want to let your crew know about. Also, anyone that was once a member of BYC, but let their membership lapse, I'm told for this year only, they may rejoin without paying the "One-time Assessment" fee of $250.

5-5-10 Race Results
Skippers and others, (if you no longer want to be on the BYC Skippers and others list, please reply and let me know to delete you from the list)
The 5/5 tentative race results are below and in the pdf attachment which gives the better print out. The yellow PHRF numbers are last year's numbers. I don't have official recent numbers for Loose Fish.
If anymore boats want to get the $30 discount by signing up for all 3 BYC Series, then you should get your check and completed form into the mail today or tomorrow.
I believe the 5/22 Montauk Race is not happening, since we didn't get much interest responding.
I believe the BYC BOD's plans to have a nice party after the race next week. There will be a keg of beer, and I'm not sure what else, but I'm sure I'll find out before next Wednesday and will let you know.

There was a mast to mast collision between Purple Haze and Loose Fish.

Skippers and others,
I have received a weird mix of entry parts for the May Cup: some forms not signed, some with and some w/o checks (one check to ELIYA and one not signed yet), no official 2010 PHRF's yet and some telling me they are racing by voice but no email confirmation as I asked, so I'm not sure I remember who told me.
Our mast wasn't up by noon today, but we got a call at 6pm saying it is up, so tomorrow, I will have to do some work on the Wave Equation to get her ready to race tomorrow night. I will come in to the dinghy dock area and clubhouse sometime between 4:30 and 5:00 to pick-up any more completed (and signed) forms and checks.
I need 2010 PHRF's from everyone, but will use last year's numbers for now.
So far I think racing in spin (Div 1) are:
Gossip - check in mail
Ice-Nine - need waiver signed, check in mail
Instant Karma
Roxanne
Wave Equation
White Lightning
I think Osprey and Buckaroo are racing, but I have nothing in writing.
So far I think racing in non-spin (Div 3) are:
Loki - need waiver signed and check to BYC
Satori
If you are racing tomorrow and want to be scored then be sure to get a signed and completed form to me tomorrow before the race. It would be nice if you are not mentioned above to let me know by noon tomorrow in which Division you will be racing, so you will be in the correct Division for the RC Boat.
