PLYC Club Gallery and Information Center – N40°35’36” W73°35’04”
This weekend is officially designated as open. However, there have been several requests to have a race.The days have been hot and humid. I think they could be considered Dog Days (or Dawg Days as we say in NY).If any one plans to sail on Sunday, and is interested in a little competition, let’s meet at the regular time and plan a course.Hope to see everyone on Sunday.
Guten Morgen Mitglieder,
The “Race to the Horizon” will take place on Sunday, but the rules have been modified since last year.
This race allows the captains to choose their direction based on the best conditions for their vessel. The longest distance recorded two hours after the start will be the basis for scoring (snapshot of the GPS required). The trip home will be leisurely, providing time to just enjoy the sail, AND collect trash from the water.
Current rules: dependent upon the bearing chosen, the vessel must round the JI to start, starboard tack to the west, or port tack to the east. Two hours after start, a picture of the GPS is taken to determine distance from the JI.
New rule: each item rescued from the water will increase the boat’s PHRF by a percent of their base PHRF (tentatively 1%).
We hope to see everyone on Sunday.
Cheers,
Rob
Hola Members,
I hope everyone got the messages about our summer schedule changes.
This weekend the previously scheduled Canvas Plus Regatta is being replaced by our annual “Race to the Horizon.” In addition, the “Dog Days Regatta” will be replaced by the “John Garrett Memorial Regatta. On August 5th.” The Race to the Horizon rules will be changing. The rules will follow.
Kimball & CJ’s Pet Resort is graciously funding the purchase of commemorative tee shirts for the event’s captains and crews. We look forward seeing you.
