Cruiser's Race - Change of date
Just to keep things interesting, the date of the season opener has been changed from June 12 to June 5. Therefore, we will be rescheduling the 'Cruisers Race' from the 12th to the 5th.
We can, at the next meeting, consider some other on the water event to take its place for the BOF weekend, although this is certainly not required.
For the race, we will have a special start for cruising boats, distinct from the 'B Fleet'. Last year, the race committee calculated PHRF ratings for all the starters, and handled the entrants with no fee, as an enticement to club cruisers to try their hands at racing. We expect that the same arrangement will hold this year.
It looks like this year we'll be having two separate "B Fleets" for formal races, allowing for a much better competitive situation in the non-spinaker fleet. This is a great year to get more folks participating in the fun of Wednesday night racing, and the club's race programs in general. Remember, any time you're away from the mooring it's a cruise, and any time there is another boat present, it's a race!
