I will be going to print with the materials for the “Rules Around the Race Course” seminar on Friday. If you are planning to attend this coming Sunday afternoon at LIYC, registering before Friday will guarantee you a book. While I am always prepared for some walk-ins, having an accurate headcount in advance is extremely helpful.

We hope to see you there!

If you are planning on attending the “Rules Around the Race Course” clinic coming up on June 9, you will have the best experience if you bring your own copy of the rule book. It can be hard to find in brick-and-mortar stores, so it is easiest to order it online from the source – US SAILING.

 

If you are a member of US SAILING, login before ordering to get a 25% discount.

To order, click here, or go to ussailing.org and then SHOP > RACING > RACING RULES

To allow for shipping time, it would be best to order it sooner, rather than later.

Our next FRIDAY FROLIC is scheduled for Friday May 17th. This is the last of the Spring series. We will begin the fall season in September.

Enjoy the summer and take advantage of our Harbor 20 schedule, racing every week day evening all summer long!

On May 17, the Race Committee will be anchored in the anchorage north of the Newport Harbor Yacht Club. The starting sequence for the first race will begin at 1400hrs. Come and enjoy a splendid day on the water. Warm weather, gentle breezes and an empty bay. Then join us afterwards for beverages in the Pirates Den. A Perfect Friday Afternoon!!

Please also note that Peter Haynes will be presenting his half-day “Rules Around the Race Course” interactive clinic on Sunday, June 9, 1-5 PM at LIYC. It is a great opportunity to catch up and understand the rules as codified in the 2017-2020 edition. Cost will be $45.00. Watch for an update as to when online registration will be open…

Seaya on the starting line,

Phil Ramser

Summer is upon us! Evening racing starts Monday, May 6 at ALYC.

Please note that because of the ongoing kerfuffle between ALYC and the American Legion Post 291, the “after race” festivities will be held at the Elks Lodge in Lido Marina Village at 3456 Via Oporto (next to Nobu). Food will be available from their Pub Menu and the Bar will be open.

The opening nights for evening summer races are as follows:

ALYC  Sundowner Series            Monday, May 6

BCYC Taco Tuesdays                 Tuesday, May 14

BYC   Twilights                            Wednesday, May 15

NHYC Twilight Series                 Thursday, May 23

LIYC Friday Night Adult Races   Friday, May 31

Find the event in the Calendar, and click on the “More Info…” link to register.

WOW! There is no where else on the planet with a one-design racing schedule like this!

The most recent FRIDAY FROLIC was cancelled due to some very cold and windy conditions. The Women on the Water races scheduled for 11 am were also cancelled due to “storm warnings” being announced.

After lunch conditions  had not improved with wind out of the West at 15 knots gusting to 17 knots. So, we displayed the Race Abandoned signal on the mast of the committee boat and on the mast at NHYC. At 2pm we packed up and left.

 Our next Friday Frolic is scheduled for March 22 and we are hopeful we will enjoy the usual sunny, warm and gentle breezes we are accustomed too.

 So, mark your calendars and plan to join the Friday Frolic at 2pm on March 22!

 Seaya on the water,

Phil
