[Phrf] Preliminary Draft of WYC 2018 Race Schedule

[Rudy Ruedenberg]

 Tks Charlie for the update.  I can just imagine how tricky it is to fit it all in, I respect all your guys hard work on it.Keeping the two events separate sounds like a good idea on that weekend. My only thought is perhaps to leave the Fleet Challenge Cup as a 3 races with the first two races having a downwind finish and perhaps the last have an upwind finish. It gives more chances for everyone and almost all boats would rather sail more races than less.  Also I really liked the 11am start which made for a bit more relaxing day not forcing  boats to be so rushed in the am.  Even with 3 races we were back at the club last year by 1:30 ish.  Follwed with a simple bbq and presenting the trophy is fun way to close the event. If the scoring goes quicker we could be done by 3pm ish.I should be available to help with the event if the board wants me to.  No biggy either way.If you want I could give you an estimate on a small budget for the Fleet Challenge. Would simply include: food for bbq, and  5 prize custom hats like last year.  No need to buy the trophy since we already have it.
For the Fall Regatta you may want to consider 3 or even 4 shorter races also with some having the down finish. ( I fear there maybe some complaints if you shorten the Fall Regatta to only 2 races?)
Just me 2 cents worth.  tks!rudy

Rudy, this IS a huge juggling exercise!   Soliciting the input and accommodating the desires for regular racing of all our fleets, scheduling the Mallory Cup, Women’s Regatta and the still-new Fleet Challenge Cup this season is a labor of love and just plain labor for Kevin, Terry and Blake
 
Right now, we’re looking at the Fleet Challenge Cup as a Saturday event and the Fall regatta as a Sunday event.   We think this satisfies the most members.  Of course, we hope members will find both appealing!

HI Guys,
 
Nice job on the new schedule. It must have been quite the juggling exercise to fit everything in. 
 
Just a quick question on the Fleet Challenge Cup on Sat. 22.  Is the winner decided on that Saturday after 2 races and trophy presented? 
 
Is the Fall regatta happening on Sunday?  Or are the 4 races somehow included for both events?  If so how will you score this? 
 
 It seemed to work well last year to have the Fleet Challenge as 3 races on one day. 
 
  
 
  
 
tks
