Note1: New boats joining. Welcome aboard.
Note2: Some of you guys have not paid the ten buck entry fee (for the
series). Please swing by my boat sometime and give me cash, check, or
money order. I'd like to get awards ordered.
Thanks.

The White Shoal Sailing Club Spring series begins this week. There
will be a race each of the next six Sundays, only your best 4 finishes
will count. Scoring will be as per US Sailing Racing Rules. Trophies
will be awarded as per the regatta announcement.
Start will be Gaboon style staggered start (Prepatory signal at 12:30,
first start at 12:40.) This is an honor system start. Boats will delay
the amount of time indicated, then cross the starting line. Note the
name of the boat that finishes behind you and e-mail it to
john@xxxxxxxxxxxx, in order to be scored. Please note your elapsed time
as well, as we would like to use this information to fine-tune our
ratings.
