[Phrf] Dual fleet boats

[Clifford Buikema]

As one of the possible offenders, who is sometimes a bit tardy to the start from our Deephaven mooring, it can be tricky getting close enough to directly hail the RC. A few alternative suggestions using our various high-tech means of communication:
1.  We can text or email our intentions or other administrative matters to the RC, say an hour before the start, or
2.  The RC establishes a short period before or after the warning gun to call in such administrative matters on 68.

A question: whatever the method of communication, is it required for each race or only for the first race in the series?
Thanks to Blake and his Race Committee for their great work this season!

We will discuss and likely make this the new rule for next year, but for the the two races left this year:

Instead of saying, “We’re sailing as PHRF1 today”… please say, “Our sail number today is (example)  1234G.” If the RC team is busy before the start (it happens a LOT) make sure that the change was confirmed and written down by the RC.
