A message from Frolic Master Phil Ramser:
Due to the extreme weather conditions forecast for the next few days we are canceling the FRIDAY FROLIC scheduled for Friday, January 20th.
We will look forward to the next FRIDAY FROLIC scheduled for January 27.
Immediately after the Winter Series #3 this Sunday, NHYC will be hosting a dock-side race debriefing / recap. Brian Bissel will host a “White Board” talk with the winners and will discuss their strategies, what worked and what didn’t. Learn what you did right, or wrong, or should have done. Come to the docks immediately after the last race to join this informative and educational event.
The Racing Rules of Sailing change every four years in cadence with the Olympics, and the rules for 2017-2020 took effect on January first. Don’t handicap yourself with an incomplete or incorrect knowledge of the rules! A unique opportunity exists this month to really learn the rules. On January 14, I will be presenting my “Understanding the Racing Rules of Sailing Seminar” at Alamitos Bay Yacht Club. And on January 28, Dave Perry will be hosting a North U. Rules and Tactics Seminar at Lido Isle Yacht Club. People have asked if the material which Dave and I will cover will be the same. While the material is the same, my approach to teaching assumes no prior knowledge, builds from one concept to the next, and covers all the DEFINITIONS necessary to understand all the rules for “WHEN BOATS MEET”. So, there is a very good chance that if you attend my presentation two weeks before Dave’s, you will likely understand everything he says. Why not start off 2017 with a better working knowledge of the rules than ever! Skippers, why not send your crews, because two heads are better than one!
AHOY ALL H20 SAILORS!
Imagine racing in our beautiful harbor WITHOUT weekend traffic or other races going on in the vicinity. That is exactly what Phil Ramser had in mind when he initiated the Friday Frolic Regatta at NHYC!
Below is the schedule for the 2017 Friday Frolic during the Winter and Spring months.
Sign up once for the Winter-Spring series and you are good to race on any of the days scheduled. The series is open to any member of a yacht club.
Notice of Race and online entry.
The starting line will be set up on the bay north of NHYC and the Dick Sweet will be on station as the committee boat. Races will start at 2pm and no race will start after 4pm. The courses will be windward/leeward, and the number of laps to be sailed will be announced from the committee boat.
Plan to visit the Pirate’s Den after racing to trade stories and enjoy an adult beverage with your fellow competitors.
