The Day's Recap - We had another good turnout today and the weather was perfect.  The wind was measured at 7 mph during the lunch break, which seemed just right.

Last month we were asked to sail down by the boat docks by one of the windsurfing instructors. This is so that we wouldn't be causing an obstruction for the windsurfing class who were always blown by the prevailing wind into our course. Instead, we opted to shorten up the course and move a little closer to the golf course and hope to finish before the windsurfers hit the water at 1:00pm. (We made it!).

At the skipper's meeting, a new scoring system was proposed for the Season total scoring and was approved by the sailors present. This system doesn't penalize those who miss a race day as much as the old system did. Instead of the total points accumulating as the season progresses, the day's score is like the individual race score, i.e., 1st =1 pt., 2nd = 2 pts., etc. The season has been  rescored to reflect the change.
The highest score for the season to date has been thrown out after today's racing.
As for the racing, it was summed up by the fact that Bill had his boat in the water for all 10 races. However, Pip played the spoiler by snatching 3 of the 10 first place finishes, leaving Bill with the remaining 7 bullets. Steve, Pip and Ron mixed it up for the middle ranks. Meanwhile, Gary and Wilkes were engaged in a fierce battle for the last place finish with Gary securing the bottom slot by losing the tiebreaker in the 7th races when Wilkes claimed a 3rd place finish!

The most remarkable aspect to the racing today was how tight the pack was. There were several races that only a minute separated the first boat and the last boat. "Finish on the water" was only heard as a courtesy to save time and get the next race started.

    Race Organization:

    • There must be at least 3 boats competing in each heat and at least 5 heats for an official race day.
    • Each race will consist of 10 heats (or as many as weather permits up to 10). Heats 1 through 5 begin after the skippers meeting, and will be run back to back. (A minute or two between heats). 
    • Each heat is scored with 1 throwout for the day.
    • After the 5th heat, there will be a 30min break for boat tuning, battery swapping, lunch, whatever. 
    • After the break, heats 6 through 10 will run back to back.
    * Throwout scores HIGHLIGHTED
    The 1st throwout will be relfected after the July regatta, the 2nd  throwout will be deducted after the final race in November.

    Scoring is calculated as follows:
    • (A4.1) The boats finishing position in the heat shall be its score for that heat. 1st place=1 point, 2nd=2, 3rd=3 and so on. The score for the day shall be the total points a boat has scored for each heat.*
    • (A4.2) Boats not finishing a race (DNF), or not starting a race (DNS) shall be scored 1 plus the number of boats entered at the start of the day. A boat that did not come to the starting area shall be scored points for the finishing place one more than the number of boats entered for the day, multiplied by the number of heats raced that day.*
    • Boats arriving late shall be counted as having been in attendance since the start of the day, but will be scored as DNS for each race missed.
    • (A8.1) If there is a tie between two or more boats in a series, each boat's heat scores shall be listed in order from best to worst, and at the first point where there is a difference the tie shall be broken in favor of the boat with the best score.*
    • (A8.2) If a tie remains between two or more boats, they shall be ranked by the finishing order in the last heat.*
    *(Adapted from Racing Rules of Sailing, Appendix A)

    TrophyClub Champion:

    • The Club Champion will be determined by the total points accumulated in the member's 7 best races. (This will allow us to miss 2 races).
