[gpsbug] Re: WSSC Spring 2011 ad Hoc Race Series Update

Steve,

BODACIOUS is planning to be there. Went down today and she started up on the 
first crank! Been a year since the new bottom paint was put on and I haven't 
sailed her once since, we did motor up to smithfield station on a becalmed day 
back about last June.

  All,


  The first race of the season is upon us!  Weather looks promising. Please 
email me if you plan to race this Sunday.


  The first gun will be this Sunday 4/10 at 1 o'clock (1300) followed by a 1310 
start. It will be a standard start. The start will be between Pagan River day 
markers 2 & 3, crossing the line in an easterly direction. The typical course 
will be either clockwise or counter-clockwise around the standard course, G1, 
G5, & to the start/finish line. If the wind is light we'll sail a shortened 
course to either G1 or G5 & return. (See the chart on the WSSC website.) Finish 
is between daymarkers 2 & 3 in a westerly direction. Record your finish time & 
forward "reply to all" via email.


  Racers should monitor VHF channel 71 for instructions.


  Please contact me if you have any questions. Looking forward to seeing you on 
the course!


  Thanks, 
  Steve Butkus

  Responses to my previous query were unanimously in favor of racing on Sunday 
afternoons. 


  So the first gun will be Sundays at 1 o'clock (1300) followed by a 1310 
start. 
  We'll use the proposed schedule below. Start thinking boat speed & I'll be 
putting out a coordinating email the week before the 10 April start. 


  Thanks, 
  Steve

  [Please pass to anyone I may have missed] 


  Proposed schedule:   
       Each weekend 10 April-19 June, except: 
       No race 23-24 April or 7-8 May (Easter & Mothers’ Day weekends) 
       22 May (Sunday) Pagan River challenge (Conclusion of Warwick YCC cruise 
weekend) 
  Organization: Ad Hoc 
       As we did last year, each race to be “organized/coordinated” by email 
the week before. 


  For those skippers likely to race  this Spring: 


     Pls email me your preferences for racing on either Saturday or Sunday 
using a percentage scale, e.g.: 


       70/30 would indicate a higher likelihood of racing on Saturday than 
Sunday 
       10/90 would indicate most chance of racing on Sunday 
            (The first percentage will always represent Saturday) 


       Saturday races would probably start mid-morn. 
       Sunday races would probably start early afternoon. 


  Should you be interested some other races further afield, occurring during 
the Series: 
  5/27-28 Down the Bay Race 
  6/3-5 Southern Bay Race Week 
  6/17-18 Cock Island Race 


  John Wandling is an excellent source for information on racing around Hampton 
Roads. 


  Other suggestions? 



  Thanks, 
  Steve
