Kayak Race Day
Kayak races will start around 12:30, at which time we will establish teams and orders of competition. Feel free to invite your family and friends, all are welcome. Note, sport-type floatation devices are in limited supply, so if you have one please bring it. For safety, the course will be entirely within the marina.
Dependent upon the turnout, we plan to have teams of two, competing against each other in an elimination process until we get down to two finalists, and finally the grand prize winner. There will be one grand prize awarded to the winning team. The Grand Prize will be awarded today, and trophies for the event will be awarded at our annual awards party, the date to be determined. Sailboat racing rules apply, no touching the marks, the penalty is another trip around the mark. After that NASCAR rules apply (rubbing is racing). Other (nonsexual) distractions are also acceptable?
We ask that you make a small donation to our Toy Lending Center fund drive.
The races will be proceeded by a general membership meeting around 11:30. The agenda is short. We will discuss our fund raising progress, plans for the Spirit Rider event on the 12th and the Commodore Cup competition later in the month. Dates for these events are available on the club calendar under event schedule. You must be logged in to view it.
Good luck to all. See you later this morning.

Your Chariots Await
4 identical boats with identical PHRF’s! However, I have only seen three registrations. It’s going to be a quiet day at this rate. Please join us. We can play for an hour or so while the tide comes in. Then, we can all go out for sail. Remember, everyone is welcome. Pass the word.
Sunday, around 12:20 PM at the East Marina.
Have you seen “LI Toy Lending Ctr for Children with Disabilities”?
Hello
I thought you might be interested in supporting this GoFundMe, https://www.gofundme.com/f/the-long-island-toy-lending-center-for-children?utm_source=customer&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=p_cp+share-sheet.
Even a small donation could help Point Lookout Yacht (PLYC) reach their fundraising goal. And if you can’t make a donation, it would be great if you could share the fundraiser to help spread the word.
Thanks for taking a look!

Sunday Kayak Races
Hola Amigos,
This coming Sunday we will have our first Kayak Race Event. All marina residents and club members are welcome to join. The plan is to have teams of 2, racing relays in multiple heats, competing until we get down to the top three contestants.
We have 4 identical kayaks to race around a short course inside the east marina with at least one mark. One sailing race rule will apply: touch the mark and you have to circle it again. No other restrictions apply.
Each team member will run some number of laps, then turn over the boat to his or her team member to finish the race. Winners will compete against each other until we determine the top three.
The tides are dead low at 12:15PM. Please meet to race at 12:30 PM. This will give us time to complete the event and still have time for an afternoon sail. Bring a change of clothes.
There will be a general PLYC club meeting prior to the races starting at 11:30 AM on the dock. We hope to see you all on Sunday.
To help us plan, please register your team on the “Events Registration” page of our website: https://pointlookoutyc.com/event-registration/ , (register once per two-person team, name your team and use NA for required fields that do not apply).
A $5 per person donation to the TLC would be appreciated.
See you Sunday.

You are doing great work!
Fall Fashions are in!
The PLYC apparel store is open. Most of the items have been updated to include the color grey in their selection. Follow the link to the store below.
Note: The only personalization available is a name on the sleeve. My suggestion would be to keep the selections to your boat name, the name of the boat you usually crew for, or your own name.
Pink Race Results
Congratulations to all our winners of the Pink Race.
Based on the PHRF’s there are two divisions, Division One, 150 and above and Division Two, below 150, a 1-2 finish for Division two and 1,2,3 for Division One.
Most importantly, congratulations to all the sailors, some of whom stepped outside their comfort zone to execute a very competitive race. It was very pleasing to see everyone keep the spirit and dress for the occasion. I also want to recognize all the decorators for the time and effort put into dressing up the boats.
Thank you all for making the event successful.
Stay healthy and safe,
Rob
