For our summer series, we will be shifting back to 4 starts from 5 while still scoring 5 classes, per JYC Race Book Sailing Instructions paragraph 2.6.1 and Summer Series Addendum paragraph 4.3.1. Classes C and D will share a start. Please look for both class flags to fly on the high staffs at the cabin with the prep flag to fly off the stern of the RC boat for that starting sequencing.
This will allow us to have reasonable length courses for all classes as the daylight reduces throughout the series.
JYC Race Book Notice of Race paragraph 1.11.1.c, JYC Qualifiers, is updated as follows:
“JYC Qualifiers: JYC Member-Racer boats that participate in the JYC Cruise Week at the same time as a Summer Series Race shall get a qualifier for that week’s race. Any JYC Member-Racer skippers that participate in a yacht club team race supporting the JYC at the same time as one of the JYC races shall get a qualifier for that race (if their boat does not race in the JYC race). JYC Qualifiers: JYC Member-Racer boats that participate in the JYC Cruise Week at the same time as a Summer Series Race shall get a qualifier for that week’s race. Any JYC Member-Racer skippers that participate in a yacht club team race supporting the JYC at the same time as one of the JYC races shall get a qualifier for that race (if their boat does not race in the JYC race). JYC boats that participate in the 9/11 Sail For Hope shall get a qualifier for that race (if their boat does not race in the JYC 2nd Fall series race).”
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:
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.
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.
