Race Summer #1 – 6/14/2022

JYC Racers,

Hope you all enjoyed our first Summer race and the beautiful evening, including the Strawberry Moon. This photo taken from the deck of CYC at our CYC/JYC Grill night.

Please see revised 1st Summer race results reflecting a reassignment made on the Class Splits for Class C which also affected Class D. It helps even out class counts. This has no impact on the results for the evening as the boat affected didn’t race.

Class PHRF splits for the JYC Summer Series are as follows:

  • Class A Spinnaker  <= 50
  • Class B Spinnaker 51-115
  • Class C Spinnaker 116-130
  • Class D Spinnaker 131+
  • Class E Non-Spinnaker

Race Spring #5 – 6/7/2022

One reminder, if you need to drop out of the race for whatever reason, please contact the race committee on VHF 72. This is a safety requirement per para 2.14.2 of the race instructions and if you don’t comply, you may be protested by the Race Committee.

Thanks for making a successful Spring series! Good wind tonight made for a quick race. We’re looking forward to seeing you for the Summer series starting next Tuesday.  Additionally, we have the after race event at Conanicut Yacht Club. Please sign up if you haven’t yet done so as we need to give a count to the Club tomorrow night.

Regards,
Cheryl

Race 3 5/24/2022

JYC Racers,

Great to see so many of you out despite the chilly weather!

As a reminder, per Sailing Instruction para 2.8.2 Navigation Rules, “All government aids to navigation must be observed, except in the leg of a race where it is used as a turning mark and the following: Mark 13 (C”13″) North of the Newport Bridge, and Mark V (G”17”) Southeast of Gould Island.”

Also, please be aware of your radio placement so you are not holding the channel open.

Enjoy a very healthy and safe Memorial Day and we’ll see you on the water next Tuesday!

Regards,

Cheryl Rienzo

Dock start. Very fluky wind with lots of gusts. We had a 150 degree wind shift just before the start so glad we got everyone off.
