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.

Organization: Ad HocAs 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 RaceJohn Wandling is an excellent source for information on racing around Hampton Roads.
Other suggestions? Thanks, Steve
