[Sonar] April 24, 2103 WYC Fleet Captain Meeting

[Ernest Brody]

Rumbles will not be counted as part of BOTY.  Can't do it because the
scoring system would count each individual race in the Rumble toward BOTY.
Would not give fleets which do not Rumble an even chance.  We'll try to
change that for next year but that's the way it is for this year.

 

Go race.  Have fun.  Get real tired.

 

Ernest

Bert,

 

We Capri 25's get 100% turnout for our Thursday night Rumbles.  Plenty of
room for single fleet bay racing.  How is BOTY going to be calculated if
some fleets have bay races and others don't.  I would like a chance at
defeating our trophy.

Hi all,

The one day regattas were established as a one day regatta and not to count
in the A B C series or the champ series so that people who didn't want to
race those tight races in the Bay would not be penalized in the other
series.

Regards,

Bert

Fellow Sonarians,

 

Reporting on the agenda at the recent fleet captain meeting.  

 

Along with easier and more affordable dual membership between WYC and MYC,
there is also a system starting up to encourage cross participation.  A
program with "crew credentials" is being assembled.  Skippers will be able
to review a list of crew attributes and send a text request!  Pretty Cool!

 

The Brian Hayes event has been rescheduled for May 17, 18 and 19th.

 

Just a review, that the Rumble in the Bay series will count as one
participation point for the day, not one for each race.  Earnie would like
to know how the Sonar fleet would like these scored?  As part of a series or
separate? Regatta scoring A2.4 versus A9 fleet/club racing?  In our meeting
we decided only the following.

                        Motion:  The Champ series race that would normally
be held that day will not be scored.  The motion carried.

            Motion:  The rumble would count toward Boat of the Year, as 1
race using the placing for the whole regatta as if it were the score for 1
race.  (This is subject to change as it may not be possible in the scoring
system).  The motion carried

 

WYC is ahead of the game in recognizing women skippers, and we want to be
even better.  It is requested that if you are a woman and you skip a women's
series race (Big Island, Bay Series or Bouey Series), please let the race
committee know immediately after the race.  They will record it and
recognize the participation at the banquet. 

 

If you do not pay your $30 fleet dues a week before the first race, you will
not notice your boat scored.  Please pay Howard asap.  Don't make him hunt
you down :)

 

Interested in getting on the water soon?!  The Spring On-the-Water Crew
Training event has lots of crew already signed up to participate this year.
Please let Ernie know if you can skip those dates and sail with potential
new members!

 

Also- a friendly reminder about hull to hull contact with damage - just in
case!  You must file a protest so that insurance claims can be filed and
accepted.  It does not have to mean that the two parties don't also have a
gentleman's agreement, but insurance requires documentation.

 

Still counting down to "ice out!"

Cheers!

Sarah
