The first race took place on Thursday 7th April. Despite strong winds, nine boats raced and all finished.
Hopefully the Series can continue as we used to run it before the ‘Lockdown’. Three mini series of seven races with two discards each mini series. Prizes as before but you can only win one. The overall 21 races will also count and prizes awarded at the Club’s Prizegiving and Social.
If there are enough boats racing we will introduce Gold, Silver and Bronze Fleets and, for those of you new to racing, we will introduce two starts to get you away before the main fleet. Novices starting at 6.25pm will have the 5 minutes to get started which will not be counted in their ‘elapsed’ time. The main start will be at 6.30pm.
The Racing can only happen if everyone takes their turn at Race Officer and OOD, note the OOD Opt Out only applies to weekend duties – if you race on Thursdays, you do the duties. Sign up on the Club’s Dutyman Roster.
If you have any queries, check with the Race Officer on the day. If you don’t know how to run a race, volunteer to help as Assistant RO and along wit the OODs and RO you will receive average points for that race.
Looking forward to seeing you all on the water,
Nigel Leveridge
