Thank you all for your understanding regarding our lack of RC boat tonight. What Cheer decided to take a break when we left the dock and wouldn’t go into gear. Hopefully, we’ll be up and running next week.
As a reminder to all our racers, please do NOT recross the finish line after you finish. You may block other finishers from RC’s view. If you need to drop of crew, go around the end of the finish line to get to the Jamestown docks.
Thank you for your attention to this!
Beautiful night for a good long race! RC took advantage of the wind and daylight to send the fleets for long ones tonight.
Another reminder that the 2021-2023 South Bay charts are no longer to be used. JYC has updated our course list for 2024. Please use the course list in our JYC Race Book paragraph 7.0, page 27. Additionally, the Sail Newport South Bay Chart for 2024-2027 is now available on line at Sail-Newport-Race-Chart-2024-26-12×18-PROOF6.pdf (sailnewport.org) with JYC’s latest course list.
To our JYC Racers:
A beautiful night to end out Spring series…thanks to all those who joined us for this series! Many thanks to our RC volunteers who made the series possible.
Also, a fun night was had by all who attended the CYC/JYC Grill Night Mixer tonight, roughly 80 folks. The food, hospitality and company was great!
Thank you to CYC for hosting us!!!
Sadly, the South Bay Charts 2024-2026 are not yet back from the printers. I will make them available as soon as we receive them. In the meantime please continue to use the JYC Race Book course list, not the South Bay Chart 2021-2023.
See you on the water next week for the 1st Summer race of the season.
Best,
Cheryl
Welcome to 2024 JYC Racing Season! Our 1st Spring Race was a bit chilly with the gusty wind and water temp at 51, but we had great attendance.
Although we had to do a dock start, the mooring field was mostly clear and SW wind worked in our favor.
Thank you all for your participation. Please remember to use the Course list from the Race Book until the new South Bay Chart is available in a few weeks.
Also, please remember to check out with RC if leaving the race area prior to finishing. This is a requirement in our sailing instructions and you may be protested by the RC for not following this.
See you on the water next week!
To our JYC Racers,
Great Skippers Meeting conducted tonight with good attendance in person and on Zoom. We appreciate your attention to the changes we’ve made for this season and the Safety presentation we had regarding our narrow channel.
Many thanks to Dave Kane, a Navigation instructor from the Surface Warfare Schools Command (SWSC) and a Narragansett Bay sailor. I’ve summarized his presentation in the post-meeting Skippers Mtg presentation.
Also, many thanks to CYC for allowing us to use their facility for this event. Much appreciated.
For those who were unable to attend, please see the attached presentation for a summary of this year’s changes/updates. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me.
Hope to see you all on the water soon!
Regards,
Cheryl
